Authors note: I do not own the Kirby series or any characters affiliated with it. Nintendo owns them.

Now, before I begin, let me say that this is my very first Kirby fanfiction, so please bear with me if I have some things wrong. I haven't played the games in years, and I've recently started watching the anime again. I swear to you, I will NOT give Dedede his creepy Texas oil-salesman voice. I like his Japanese voice dub a lot better, and he sounds more like a king. And I will not be calling Escargon Escargoon. 4Kids can keep his goofy name; Escargon sounds much nicer. And he will be sticking with his anime personality as well.

I will now introduce you to my own character: Nova. Nova is a Princess from a distant star. Although she is 18-20 years old in appearance, she is really about 4,000 years old! 8 and a half years before Kirby shows up on Dreamland, her star, along with the rest of her family, had been sucked up by a black hole while she fled on her silver warpstar. There, in the darkness of space, Nova slept for that eight and a half years before King Dedede wished on a falling star, which happened to be her warpstar. Now, you will hear her story…

It had been another unsuccessful night for King Dedede. He had been attempting to pummel Kirby into a pink pulp with his army car, but that meddling girl Fumu and her just as meddlesome brother Bun had stopped him just as he was about to flatten the pink pest. Not only that, but Holy Nightmare Co. was once again badgering him for payment. Of course he had the payment, but he just wasn't willing to surrender that much Deden for some monsters that had failed him dozens of times already!

"If they'd just give me a monster that could get rid of Kirby, then I'd pay them! But they just keep on sending me monsters that he just keeps on destroying!" Dedede sighed as he plopped down onto his favorite lawn chair on the castle balcony. It was always the same old same old; wake up, eat, attempt to order a monster, be denied the said monster, attempt to destroy Kirby, be thwarted, come home, eat again, sit on the balcony and stare at the stars, and then go to bed. Sure, he had Escargon, his faithful and loyal servant, to push around, and he had the Cappies to bully, but…It just seemed like something was missing.

"Hmm…Maybe I should add something different! Yeah! Maybe I should…Nah, that doesn't sound fun. It just sounds gross." Once again, he sighed as he reclined. The stars were all glittering like different gemstones in the sky. Oftentimes, he would wish that he had that special someone to share these moments with him. Not Escargon, not the Waddle Dees, and not Waddle Do. No, it had to be…A lady, perhaps? Yes, he would have liked a nice wife at his side. But alas, no woman would ever love him. From what he had been told, he was an evil ruler. And who would love an evil ruler?

"…Hey! A falling star!" He shouted, noticing a silver streak flying through the dark sky. The thought didn't occur to him, but he had blurted out the first thing that was on his mind.

"…I wish that a pretty girl would fall in love with me! That's all I'd like!" He blurted out, not even thinking about what he had just said. He had just turned around to go back inside of the castle when he noticed that the star had stopped in midair.

"Hmm?" Dedede turned around to stare at the star. But his stare quickly turned into a look of horror as the star started coming right for him!

"Gaaaaah! Escargon!" He cried out as the star came shooting towards the castle. In the time that it had taken the snail to run to him, the star had come much closer.

"Your Majesty, what…?" He had started, but he too had noticed the impending star.

"Run Your Majesty, run!" Escargon screamed, grabbing Dedede by his mitten hand and jerking him away just as they heard the whooshing of the star. A split second later, they heard the sound of stone blocks being obliterated by the star, felt the rumble as it passed through several walls, finally coming to a smoking stop in the throne room.

"E-Escargon…What on EARTH was that?" Dedede said as they both sat up, covered in dust from the stones being reduced to a fine powder.

"I-I don't know, Your Majesty…" He said, rushing to the throne room. Dedede struggled to keep up with him. He wasn't in great shape, and it made it hard to move fast.

"Dedede, what's going on?!" A small voice piped up. Dedede whirled around to see Fumu, Bun, and of course, Kirby, standing nearby, an accusatory look on Fumu's face. She had reason to not trust him, and Dedede didn't blame her. But now was not the time! He had to see what that star was all about!

"Well, as you can see, a star has just decided to destroy a good chunk of my castle, but you don't honestly think I would purposely ASK for this, do you?!" He yelled, pointing at the wreckage in the throne room. Kirby, however, was jumping up and down excitedly in front of the smoking star.

"What is it, Kirby?" Bun asked, coming closer to the star. Upon further inspection, Dedede realized…

"I-it's another Warp Star!" He stuttered out. He could just imagine it now: TWO Kirby's running around, causing problems for him, gaining more popularity than him. It was going to be a living Hell!

Just as Dedede was about to say something, the dome on the star opened, and Dedede and Escargon both yelled in fear, knowing that a pink puffball was going to fall out of the ship. But instead of hearing a squeak, they both heard a loud thud.

"Hey! There's a girl in here!" Fumu shouted. Dedede, being confused at what she said, whirled around to see what had fallen out of the star. What he saw amazed him.

A girl, probably about the same height as Chef Kawasaki (the only chef in Cappy Town, and probably one of the tallest Cappies) was laying face down on the floor, dressed in white lingerie type clothing. Her hair was about shoulder length and turquoise colored. A silver star was pinned to her hair on the side of her head, and it shone brightly. Her eyes, however, were closed, so he couldn't see her eyes.

"…Your Majesty…" Escargon started, but Dedede ignored him and quickly scooped the girl up in his arms, running off with her.

Oooooh! What happens next?! You'll find out later! But I hope that you'll enjoy this story!
