Hi, everyone. This is my first fanfiction, yay! I hope no one minds; I used my OC, Cookie. (Don't hurt me!)Okay, so warning: might contain blood and violence in future.

Disclaimer: Kirby and all characters, worlds, and other things relating to Kirby in this fanfiction does not belong to me!I only own Cookie. Oh, and note: Cookie was originally a nutty cat with a voice in her head, but I turned her into a some-what sensible puffball for this fan-fic.

Chapter One
Memory Loss

A round, purple figure lay on the grass in a forest, barely even breathing. He was cut in places, and looked burned in others, most were covered in bandages, though. He wore a jester hat, a different color for each side of it with white spots. He also wore brown shoes that looked meant for a clown and a red bow tie. All of which were torn or burned in places, much like the wearer. He opened his eyes an slowly leaned up to a sitting position. "W-where am I?" He asked, looking around. The last thing he remembered was pain and darkness, along with an ear-piercing scream which came from none other than himself.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain as he was tackled from behind. "Marx! Your awake!" A young, purple puffball much like himself with bright green shoes and pointed ears said. Her left eye was purple like her body and her right was bright green like her shoes. She had two sharp fangs pointing downwards from the corners of her silly, wide-grinning mouth. "Aah! Who are you?!" 'Marx' asked. The young girl backed away, suddenly looking heart-broken. "You-you don't recognize me..?" She asked, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. "No." Marx said, oblivious to her sad face. Her ears drooped like wilting flowers. "Should I?" Marx asked, just now realizing how sad he had made the little girl puffball. Suddenly she snarled, showing large, pointed teeth. "Yes!" She growled, answering his question. With a yelp then a hiss Marx dashed backwards, scared by the sudden switch in emotions. "What, did you lose your memory or something?" The girl asked, confused that he didn't remember her. "I don't know, all I remember is power! …then a bunch of pain and darkness," he said. Scared that she was going to eat him or something of the sort if he didn't answer. She gasped, "Marx, your fangs are missing-- and your wings too! Did you lose the power when you died again?" Marx was then even more confused than before. "I died? Again? How many times did I die before?! I lived after dying?!" He started asking going a bit wall-eyed in the process. Suddenly the girl gained rather large, dark purple, bat-like wings with two claws at the second joint. "C'mon, Marx! We're going to get your memory back, and hopefully your powers, too!" she said. She used the claws like a hand to grab Marx's ear, which was hidden under the jester hat. She then started to run through the woods, dragging Marx by the ear.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Marx yelled in pain, somewhat from his ear being pulled on, but mostly from the rocks and other things that hit his bandaged wounds. "Stop yelling, everyone thinks your dead and I'm not sure if that's good or bad!" the girl yelled at Marx as she stopped to glare at him. "I'll let your ear go if you follow me willingly?" she offered. Marx made a wall-eyed glare at the girl before reluctantly agreeing. "Fine." The girl gained another one of her silly, wide grins and let him go with a "yay!" Her wings suddenly vanished and she was about to keep running when Marx stopped her with a question. "Wow! How'd you do that?" The girl blinked. "Oh, that's right, memory loss. When you had your powers you could do it too, only your wings were cooler then mine. They're just invisible, but they're still there." Marx looked amazed and his eyes weren't wall-eyed anymore as he stared at her. "I had wings?!" he asked, even more amazed. The girl rolled her eyes.

"Oh, since you lost your memory you wouldn't know anything about me! Well, to start, I was created by Nightmare. He is an evil guy that creates demon beasts, which is what I am. He said I was a failure and dropped me on Popstar, which is the planet we're on right now. So there I was, left in the rain. I ran into you, and you asked me who I was and said that you had never seen me before and so on. You left and I was left in the rain once again. The next day I saw you rolling around on your ball. I thought it was neat and asked you if you could teach me. After you taught me to balance on a ball you said we were a lot alike. I asked if you wanted to be my brother. So really I'm like your adopted little sister." Marx was quietly sitting on the ground, looking as if he were listening to someone reading a book to him. The girl shrugged her invisible wings and kept talking.

"After a while we got separated and I couldn't find you. Then a number of things happened, like the sun and moon were fighting! I remember you saying you could talk to the sun and moon, so I thought you might be there helping to stop the fight. When I got to this weird mechanical comet thing I saw you and a pink thing fighting, only you had fangs and wings! I tried to help you, but I was too weak. I saw you go flying into the comet and it exploded. I thought you died, but you came back looking scary, like you were really angry about something. When the comet exploded I gained some kind of wish-granting power--"

The girl was cut-off by Marx. "You can grant wishes?!" he asked, looking rather excited. "Well, yeah, but only one every few months or else I start to feel really sick. Since I already granted my own wish a few days ago to get my fangs and wings I can't grant any wishes right now," she answered. Marx looked rather disappointed.

"Anyway, back to the subject! You came back looking really angry and just as you were going to beat that pink thing this sword appeared out of nowhere and the pink thing cut you in half with it!" Marx yelped, pulling his hat down over his eyes as if watching a scary movie. The girl continued, "You screamed and it sounded like some scary ghost was dying! It was loud." She made sure to add a large amount of emphasis on the word 'loud' before continuing. "You appeared on Popstar after vanishing in the air. I found you in that forest, Whispy Woods, and wished that you were still alive. I didn't know it at the time, but I granted my own wish. You were passed out for a while, so the next day I went to look for some food and wished I had wings to fly up and get an apple from a tree. I granted my own wish again and now I was more confused than surprised. I wished for fangs and then I had fangs! I then realized I had that power to grant wishes. I also found out that too many wishes make you sick. After getting my fangs my stomach started to feel funny. Then it hurt! Then--" She stopped herself. "What? Then what?!" Marx pleaded, wanting to know what happened. "Well.. This weird clumpy rainbow-colored stuff came out of my mouth." she finished. Marx went quiet, confused and slightly grossed out for a reason he didn't know. "Anyway! After a few days I felt better, you woke up, and now we're trying to get your memory and powers back!" The girl finished with yet another big, goofy grin on her face. Marx sat there, wall-eyed for a moment before getting up with eyes once again normal. "So you're my adopted demon-beast sister that has wings, fangs, and wish-granting powers?" he asked at last. "Yep, and my name is Cookie!" She smiled at him with the same funny grin. "Cool!" Marx said excitedly. "I bet you still have a black hole inside you from when you had your powers.. Hm.. I want a black hole inside me… That'd be awesome!" Cookie said excitedly. She started to walk through the forest, Marx following her. "That'll be my next wish!" she said. Oblivious to the fact that she could just wish Marx's memory and powers back.

They walked through the forest for some time before they finally made it out of the woods. They ended up at a road that led to King Dedede's castle. Cookie turned to Marx as she said "Okay! Everyone thinks your dead and since I'm not sure if that's good or bad we're gonna make sure no one sees-" She was cut off as a tall, boy cappy ran into her, from the town down the road. They both fell to the ground and Cookie sat up, slightly dazed. Two other cappies, smaller girls that were following the first gasped, "Look, it's that purple clown thing!" one shouted. The other started to run for the castle, "Hurry, we gotta tell Kirby, Fumu, and Bun!" The first one that ran into Cookie got up and ran after the other two, shouting "Hey, wait for me!" Cookie got up and watched them leave while making a toilet-flushing noise. Marx laughed at the noise, oblivious to the meaning of it.

----------At Castle Dedede----------

The three cappies ran down the hall of the giant castle, finally coming to a stop at a rather large, wooden door. They knocked on it furiously, only stopping when Bun, a boy with one-strap overalls and blue hair with a yellow streak in it that covered his eyes, opened the door. "Hey, guys, what's the rush?" he asked, his confused look meeting their terrified looks. "We gotta talk to Kirby!" The first cappy said, eyes huge. "What for?" Bun asked. He was still confused. "That purple thing that wanted to take over Popstar is back!" the first and tallest replied. "And he's with another purple thing just like him!" the smaller girl said. Bun gasped. "Kirby and Fumu went to the meadow, come on, hurry!" Bun said, closing the door behind him. Then ran down the hall where the three cappies just came from.

----------At the meadow----------

Fumu, a girl with blond hair in a braid and a pink-and-green shirt, sat under the only tree in the meadow reading a book while Kirby chased one of the few butterflies flying around. Kirby suddenly stopped and tilted his head to the side as he said pretty much the only thing he knew how to at the time. "Poyo?" What he saw were two purple dots in the distance, too far away to make out the exact shape. Curiously, he ran down the hill towards them.

Cookie's ear flicked as she heard a strange "poyo" noise. She turned toward it to see a round, pink thing running towards her and Marx. Recognizing it as the thing Marx was fighting before it killed him, she quickly grabbed Marx's ear again with an invisible wing as she took off running as fast as she could. Her face looked as if she had seen a monster. Marx started making muffled noises as Cookie dragged him along, face-first in the grass.

Kirby stopped running toward them as he saw them speed across the meadow. He made his strange "poyo" noise and tilted his head again.

Bun barely managed to stop in front of Fumu. "Fumu, where's Kirby?!" he asked, almost panicking when he didn't see Kirby. "He was here just a minute ago. Why are you so scared?" she asked, putting her book down to the side. "We saw that purple monster that wanted to take over Popstar!" the tall cappy boy said. "And he was with something that looked just like him!" the tallest girl added. "What?! But that's impossible, he's dead! He split in two when Kirby finished him off," Fumu said, surprised. "Apparently not!" the smallest cappy girl said, nearly shaking in fear. Suddenly Kirby came running up the hill shouting "Poyo! Poyo!" "Kirby!" Bun said, relieved. "Kirby, what is it?" Fumu said, confused as Kirby pulled on her arm. Then he let go, running to the hill, pointing down at something. They all ran over and looked down to see nothing. "What? What are we looking for?" the tallest cappy girl asked, looking around in confusion. Kirby only kept saying "poyo" as he pointed the way the purple specks went and disappeared.

Cookie looked over a boulder, her pointed ears high in the air to listen for anything. Marx was sitting on the ground next to Cookie, leaning against the boulder as he whimpered like a sad puppy over his hurting face. Cookie sat next to him "Phew, I think we lost 'im!" she said, letting out a relieved sigh. She looked at him whimpering and her ears fell. "Sorry…" She said quietly, looking at the ground. Marx blinked at her sadness before forcing a smile. "It's okay, I've been killed twice, I must've endured much more pain than this!" he said, looking proud of himself. Cookie smiled happily at this.

Everyone besides Kirby was talking to each other about the reappearance of 'the purple monster that wanted to take over Popstar.' Kirby kept watching were he had seen the two purple figures disappear. Suddenly something purple poked it's head out from behind a boulder to look around, then vanished behind it again. Kirby once again shouted "Poyo! Poyo!" and pointed at the boulder in the distance. They all looked at Kirby and at the boulder, but said nothing. "What is it, Kirby?" Fumu asked, confused and worried now. Kirby suddenly ran down the hill, shouting "Poyo! Poyo!" "Hey, wait!" Fumu yelled, running after the pink puffball. "Wait up, sis!" Bun yelled, running after his sister.

Cookie's ear twitched. "Did you hear something?" she asked, turning to Marx, who shook his head 'no.' "Hm… I must be hearing things. Anyway, we should keep going so that we figure out how to get your memories and power back!" she said, jumping up excitedly. "C'mon!" she shouted, running forward then suddenly stopping when she saw the pink puffball running towards them. Cookie suddenly gained a look of horror. She looked around for a place to hide, and, failing, she snatched Marx's hat and bowtie, leaving only bandages and shoes and threw them with invisible wings into some tall grass nearby. She then turned back to Kirby, Fumu, and Bun as they got closer. "Uh-- uh.. Okay! They've never seen me before and you either, at least without your hat, so act like you're someone else!" she said, half hidden behind Marx in fear of the three that were quickly approaching. Marx looked frozen in confusion. He had no idea what was going on!

Before he knew it the three were in front of them. Kirby pointed at the two before continuing in his "Poyo! Poyo!" Kirby turned back to them and smiled happily and waved in greeting. Marx stood quietly, staring at the puffball. Thankfully he didn't go wall-eyed or their cover would really be blown. Cookie nudged her 'brother,' trying to get him to say something. Bun tilted his head at the similarities between the purple puffballs and the one that wanted to take over Popstar, but pushed them away after a few moments. "Hi!" Bun said, raising one hand. "Hi-ya!" Marx said at last, smiling. Cookie stared at the pink ball, trying not to glare, but it ended in failure as she glared at the pink thing. Scared, Kirby backed up two steps. Fumu calmly glared back. Something was going on and she knew it. Cookie looked up at Fumu and chose that time to finally say something herself. "Um.. Hello!" she said, smiling in a pitiful, scared way. "I've never seen you two before, I don't think, where'd you come from?" Bun asked, oblivious and easily falling for the disguise. Cookie smiled victoriously, coming out from behind Marx. "We came out of the woods." she lied. "Why is he all bandaged up?" Fumu asked curiously, trying to get proof that something was up. "Oh, um…" Cookie said, falling silent. She wasn't often very good at lying. Marx blinked at her, before looking back to the suspicious group. "I fell!" he said suddenly. Cookie turned to look at him before looking back to the three and smiling innocently. "Ouch, that must've been pretty high up, you look like a mummy!" Bun said, laughing as he finished. Cookie glared at Bun. "It was." she stated simply, a hint of annoyance in her voice. How could he find her brother's pain funny? Fumu started to feel bad and said "Don't mind him, I'm sorry you got hurt that badly." Cookie's smile returned once again. "Poyo!" Kirby stated, happy that Cookie was smiling instead of glaring at him.

"Oh, it's getting late. We should get back to the castle." Fumu said to her brother, Bun, and Kirby. "Hey, do you guys have a place to sleep?" Bun asked. Cookie could see where that was going. "Of course!" she said, trying to figure out a reason not to go with them before the question came. "No we don't…" Marx said, confusedly staring at her. "Shhh!" Cookie whispered to him. "Ohh…" Marx said quietly, understanding now. "Well, maybe you could come stay with us?" Bun suggested. "Poyo, poyo!" Kirby said. "Or maybe with Kirby?" Bun said jokingly. Cookie went back to glaring at the puffball and he quickly fell silent again. "Don't be silly, Bun. You know our parents don't like it when Kirby sleeps over at the castle, so why would they like two purple ones that haven't even proven themselves friendly? Not to mention they have ears and the smaller one has fangs." Fumu said, getting annoyed with her brother. Cookie's ears fell in sadness. She knew she was different from all but Marx and maybe the round pink thing, but she hated being reminded of it, for it reminded her that she was a demon beast. Fumu saw this and said quickly "I'm sorry, I didn't mean--" she cut herself off. Marx blinked at his adopted little sister for a moment before asking "What's wrong, Cookie?" Cookie's ears quickly rose and she shook her head "N-nothing! I'm fine." she lied and smiled happily once again. "Aw, c'mon sis! I'm sure we could convince someone to let them sleep inside for the night!" Bun said enthusiastically. "I guess we could try to get someone from cappy town to take them in." Fumu said. "Poyo." Kirby said happily. For once, Cookie didn't glare at him.

Well, as long we're not with pinky or these two I think we're safe… Cookie thought to herself. "By the way, my name is Bun!" the boy said. "And I'm Fumu, and that's Kirby." the girl added. Cookie smiled, they weren't so bad. "I'm Cookie!" she said happily. "Oh, and I'm M--" Marx was cut off by Cookie's invisible wing jabbing him in the side. "Mark." Cookie finished for him. Marx went a bit wall-eyed with annoyance, but luckily no one was looking. He looked back at the grass where his hat and bowtie were before Cookie grabbed his ear once again with an invisible wing and whispered, "we'll get them later."
