Kirby was lost. He didn't know where he was, but he did know that he was in a market selling all sorts of goods.
The little puffball's stomach grumbled. He let out a whine and rubbed it. He was so hungry...But he didn't wanna steal...
It was then he spotted a unique looking woman that caught his eye. She had messy long black hair, two animal ears sticking on top of her head. What caught Kirby's attention were her nine white tails. They looked so soft and fluffy. Forgetting his hunger for the moment as really wanted to touch the tails.
Skipping forward happily, he grabbed at the tails and hugged them, snuggling into the soft warm white fur.
"What?!" Ahri yelped when she felt someone grab one of her tails
She began to spin around wildly, looking for the culprit. "Who's there?! Let go!"
"Poyo poyo!" Kirby yelled holding onto the tails for dear life.
Eventually, Ahri tripped on a rock, sending her face first to the ground.
"Ow!" Ahri moaned in pain.
"Isowwy..." A sad voice sounded out. Ahri looked behind her to see a small pink puffball sitting on her butt.
Ahri's eyes widened seeing the culprit to be the cutest thing she had ever seen!
"AWWWWWW!" Ahri gushed before snatching the little ball into her arms.
Kirby blinked in surprise before happily accepting Ahri's hug.
"You're very light and soft. Like holding a little cloud." Ahri said cradling Kirby in her arm's.
"Cowd?" Kirby asked, tilting his head. "Cowdsoft!"
"Yep! Just like you!" Ahri nuzzling the little puffball.
"Yaaaaay!" Kirby cheered as he nuzzled her back.
"What's your name?" Ahri asked the adorable creature.
"Kiwby! I kiwby!" Kirby introduced himself with a big smile.
"You're name is Kirby?" Ahri said amused.
"Uh-huh! Yoname?" Kirby asked.
"My name is Ahri. Nice to meet you, Kirby."
"Awi?"
"Close enough." Ahri smiled
"Yay!" Kirby cheered.
Kirby's stomach began to crumble again.
"Ogh...Kiwby hungy..." He said softly. "Awi haf foo?"
"Ahh." Ahri's heartbreaking seeing Kirby's sad face. "Come on. Let's get you something to eat."
Kirby immediately perked right up at hearing those words. "Yay! Kiwby eet! Kiwby eat!"
Ahri was walking towards the food stands with Kirby in her arm's. All of the women gawked and even went 'aawww' at Kirby. While some of the men were jealous of him at their attention he was getting.
Kirby happily waved at everybody that they passed, delighted to see so many people.
"Now Kirby what do you want to eat?" Ahri gestured towards the food stands making Kirby drool.
He honestly didn't know what to pick. All of the food looked so delicious!
He eventually picked something random. "Poyo!" He pointed to a dumpling stand.
"Good choice Kirby." Ahri smiled
"Goochose!" Kirby cheered, happy he picked good food.
"One serving of Dumplings please," Ahri ordered while the cook looked at Kirby strangely.
"Hey, that's one cute stuffed animal. Where did you get it?"
"Stuff amal?" Kirby asked with a frown. "Kiwby no stuff amal! Kiwby's Kiwby!"
"Holy! It can talk!" The cook gawked.
"Yes Kiwby tok! Why Kiwby no tok?" Kirby asked, confused by the cook's surprise.
"Um. Never mind here's your food." The cook said giving them their order wanting to avoid an awkward conversation.
"Yay foo! Kiwby eat foo!" And then Kirby inhaled his meal in one gulp.
Ahri gawked when she saw Kirby do this. She really didn't expect something like this from a pink puffball.
Kirby let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Yum yum!" He said, patting his belly.
"Wow." Ahri said
Kirby looked at her and tilted his head curiously.
"Aren't you full of surprises," Ahri said.
"Pizes?" Kirby asked.
"Yes. Pizes." Ahri said, tails flicking in amusement.
"Where are from little guy?" Ahri asked never seeing anything like Kirby before.
"I from Dreamland!" Kirby answered making Ahri frown as she never heard of Dreamland.
"Where is this Dreamland place, little guy?" She asked, rubbing his head.
"It WAAAAAAY up in da sky!" Kirby threw his little arms up for emphasis.
"Up in the sky? Wait! You're an alien!?" Ahri yelped in surprise not expecting this.
"Aien?" Kirby tilted his head thoughtfully before nodding his head with a smile. "Kiwby aien!"
"Oh wow." Ahri staring at Kirby.
The little puffball was just full of surprises!
Kirby toddled his way over to Ahri and reached up to his stubby little arms. "Hug?" He asked innocently.
"Awwww!" Ahri squeaked hugging Kirby tightly.
"Yay hug!" Kirby cheered, happy to get his way.
"I'll give you all the hugs in the world, cutie!"
"Fankoo!" Kirby said
Kirby hugged her back and she giggled, patting the back of his head. "I wish I could keep you!"
"Keep?" Kirby tilting his head confused.
"Oh, I know I can't keep you. I'm sure you have a home to go back to..."
"That right." Kirby looking down sadly.
Then he looked up at her with a big smile. "But I visit!"
"That's very sweet of you Kirby." Ahri smiled rubbing the marshmallow's head.
"I visit lots and lots! Awi no get wonewy!"
Ahri's heart felt touched when she heard Kirby say that.
"You're something special, Kirby...Thank you."
"Bye Awi!" Kirby waving Ahri goodbye before hopping into his Warp Star.
"Bye bye, cutie!" Ahri called out to Kirby before he flew off. "What a sweet little guy."
