Before I start, I'd just like to make an intro to this!

This fic was inspired by one that was seemingly discontinued, which stinks, because it was good.

To differentiate, I made myself some rules: I can't repeat any characters and the stories won't be entirely based off of the Disney or original version. Lots of extra content!

First up are two Kirby centered fics, then a Pokémon one. This is in the Smash tag because it's the closest thing to a general Nintendo tag there is.

I hope you enjoy!

Once upon a time, high up in the sky, there was a kingdom called Floralia. Floralia was ruled by the wicked Queen Sectonia, a wasp who only cared for her own beauty. One day, her most faithful servant, Taranza, brought her a golden mirror, adorned with angel wings and a crown. Unbeknownst to him, the mirror held the portal to another world- one that mirrored their own.

The mirror world was home to the evil Dark Mind and Dark Meta Knight, who aspired to claim the regular world as their own. It had been prophesied that an orphan named Adeleine would kill them before they could. Dark Mind commanded Dark Meta Knight to brainwash the queen and have her kill Adeline.

One day, Dark Meta Knight appeared to Sectonia while she was gazing at her reflection. Sectonia gasped and floated back.

"Who are you, and what right do you have to spy on me?" She asked.

Dark Meta Knight chuckled. "I am… the spirit of this mirror. I can tell you who is the fairest of them all. Someone like you would like to know, wouldn't you?"

Sectonia frowned. "Fine. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?"

"You, Majesty, are fair, but there is one that is more," Dark Meta Knight said. The glass rippled, and Adeleine, who was currently cleaning up some animal feed, appeared.

"This girl is a threat to your beauty. You must kill her, and bring her heart to me," Dark Meta Knight commanded. Queen Sectonia should have refused, but her vanity overtook her. She called for Taranza, who swiftly came. Dark Meta Knight had disappeared.

"Taranza, you know that orphan girl, Adeleine?" Sectonia asked. Taranza nodded, and Sectonia raised her chin. "I want you to bring me her heart in a box."

Taranza hunched over. "Your majesty, may I ask why?"

Sectonia pointed her finger out the door. "I want her heart, and I want no questions asked."

"Yes, your majesty," Taranza said, trembling. He floated out the door, and down to the stables Adeleine was tending. She had just finished her duties, and was about to go eat lunch.

"Hello, Taranza. Do you need anything?" Adeleine asked. Taranza gulped.

"Adeleine, can you follow me? I've got something to tell you…"

He floated towards the courtyard, and Adeleine followed. Taranza stopped a few feet into the woods. He leaned in close to Adeleine, and put two of his hands on her shoulders.

"Adeleine, the queen has commanded me to kill you… run. Please. I'll pretend to chase you and make a fake heart," Taranza whispered. "I can't kill you- I'm too squeamish, but I love her majesty, and I wish she was like she had been before…"

"She used to be so nice. I understand why you love her, but she would never order someone to be killed without reason." Adeleine said.

"Adeleine, I wish I was lying." Taranza shook his head. Adeline gasped, and the two of them ran as fast as they could through the woods.

Adeleine saw the edge of the island approaching, and attempted to stop, but she tripped on a tree root and tumbled over the edge.

Taranza clasped his hands over his mouth. Had he really killed the poor girl? Tears formed in his eyes as he went to tell his Queen the news.

Adeleine landed in a forested area of the lowest island. The trees had broken her fall, but she was cut and bruised. She had no idea where she was, so she wandered around until she found a large cottage. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Desperate for food and shelter, she tried opening the door. To her surprise, it was open.

The inside of the cottage was a mess. Dirty bowls and plates piled up like mountains on the table, and cobwebs covered most of the cabinets. Adeleine had grown accustomed to seeing a mess and cleaning it, so she immediately got to work. She pulled out her magic paintbrush and painted up some supplies. The magic paintbrush had been a gift from her mother before she had died, and Adeleine always kept it with her. She was lucky she hadn't lost it during her fall.

A few hours passed, and the house was nice and tidy. Adeleine, however, was exhausted, and decided to take a nap. She found the bedroom, which was packed with seven small beds. She chose the largest one they had, and curled up. It wasn't too long until she fell asleep.

On their way back from work were the owners of the house. A group of seven small siblings waddled their way through the woods, holding baskets of gems. They hummed a cheery song as they went along.

When they arrived back home, one of the Waddle Dees noticed that the door to their house was ajar. The Waddle Dee tapped his brother, Waddle Doo, and pointed to this.

"Huh?" Waddle Doo said. "It must have been some wind. I sure didn't leave it open."

They all waddled into their house. All of their eyes widened at the sight of a tidy kitchen.

"Huh?" Waddle Doo said. "I definitely didn't do that! None of us can even reach those cabinets!"

They all headed up to their bedroom and found a dark haired girl sleeping in Waddle Doo's bed!

"There's an intruder in our house! A nice one, but an intruder nonetheless!" Doo screamed. Adeleine jolted up from her nap.

"Huh? What… Oh no!" She said. The Dees all crowded behind Waddle Doo, who suspiciously glanced at Adeleine.

"I'm sorry, I just got kicked out of my home and I don't know where I am!" She continued. "Please don't hurt me!"

Waddle Doo let his guard down. The Dees crowded around Adeleine, all with looks of pity on their faces.

"Oh, golly, I'm sorry! We won't hurt ya. Actually, I'd like to thank ya for cleaning up down there," Doo said. One of the Waddle Dees hugged Adeleine's waist. Adeline smiled.

"Thanks. Now, I should introduce myself. I'm Adeleine! What are your names?"

Waddle Doo pointed to himself. "I'm Waddle Doo. I'm the oldest, and the only one that can talk."

He pointed to a Waddle Dee with a green bandana, who seemed to be half asleep.

"That's Sleepy Dee. He likes to sleep. The one hugging you, in the purple, is Dopey Dee."

Dopey Dee let out a small purr, and hugged Adeleline even tighter.

"The one in the red hat is Bashful Dee, the one in the orange is Happy Dee, the one in the blue is Grumpy Dee, and the one in the pink is Sneezy Dee."

Bashful covered his eyes with his paws, Happy waved enthusiastically at Adeleine, Grumpy scowled, and Sneezy, well, sneezed.

"You're welcome to stay here until you can get back on your feet," Waddle Doo offered. Adeleine agreed, and everyone hugged each other (except Grumpy).

Back at the castle, Taranza approached Queen Sectonia nervously.

"Your majesty, Adeleine is gone," He said. Queen Sectonia glanced at the Tarantula's hands.

"And where is her heart?" She asked. Taranza flinched.

"Well… uh… she, she fell off the island." Taranza bowed his head in shame. Queen Sectonia hammered him with her staff, and Taranza fell on the floor.

"Pitiful Taranza. I have no use for a fool who cannot follow orders."

Queen Sectonia turned to the mirror. Taranza watched, and even as he lay dying, he knew he did the right thing by letting her escape. She had to have fallen on one of the lower islands.

"Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, where is the fairest of them all?"

The glass rippled, and Adeleine, who was currently playing with Dopey Dee, appeared.

"Adeleine is on the lowest island of Fine Fields. She is currently staying with seven brothers in a small cottage."

Queen Sectonia dashed to the kitchen, where she grabbed a miracle fruit and dipped one half of a potion she'd found. She flew as fast as she could to the lowest island, and waited.

The Dees were going off to sell their gems at the market, as they could earn some money to help Adeleine get on her feet. As all seven waddled away, Adeline waved. She closed the cottage door behind her. Queen Sectonia remained hidden until the Dees were out of sight, then knocked on the door. Adeleine opened the door. She gasped when she saw the queen.

"Your majesty, please don't hurt me! I didn't do anything!" Adeleine pleaded.

"Adeleine, I have come here to apologise. This was all a misunderstanding. If you want, we can wait for the Dees to come back before I take you home," Queen Sectonia said. "But before that, why don't we share a miracle fruit? You must be hungry after running for so long."

Adeleine hesitantly took one half of the miracle fruit, and bit into it. After finishing it, she felt faint.

"I'm sorry, your majesty, but I don't feel so… well…"

Adeleine hit the ground with a large thump, and Queen Sectonia wickedly cackled. She made her way back to her castle, where she told Dark Meta Knight the news.

The Dees came back to see their poor friend lying on the ground. They tried to wake her, but she wouldn't respond. They laid her on a bed of flowers that laid outside their house. It pained them to think of burying her.

The Dees gathered up in a circle.

"Well, guys, we know who did this. Anyone want to kick her butt?" Doo said. All six of the other Dees raised their paws.

"Alright, that's settled, let's go- wait, someone has to stay behind to watch Adeleine," Doo continued. Dopey Dee waddled over to Adeleine and sat on top of her. It was his way of showing he wanted to protect her.

"Dopey, you're so sweet…" Doo said. He then

grabbed his pickaxe and raised it in the air.

"To the castle!" He said, as the six ran off.

Dopey sat there for hours, wondering if his brothers would be alright. He heard footsteps, and they were getting closer, and closer, and closer. Dopey ran to see if it was his siblings, but it was just a blue puffball.

"Oh, hello there! I am Prince Fluff of the Patch Kingdom and I was on my way to-"

Dopey Dee sagged his shoulders and waddled back to his position. The prince followed.

"Why are you so sad?" He asked. Dopey didn't offer any response, mostly because he couldn't talk. Fluff walked over and observed Adeleine. Her chest was rising up and down, signaling that she was still breathing.

"Oh, your friend here is asleep. Do you need some help to wake her up?"

Dopey nodded. The prince pulled a sock out of his satchel and held it up to Adeleine's nose. One sniff later, Adeleine jolted up.

"Oh my goodness, what is that smell?" She asked. Upon seeing a dirty sock in front of her face, she scrambled away.

"Hello, fair maiden! I am Prince Fluff of the Patch Kingdom, and I am on my way to the castle. Do you know how to get there?"

Adeline blinked. "Yes, it's five islands above this one."

"F-Five?" Fluff gasped. Adeline nodded. "How am I supposed to get up there? My airship ticket let me off here!"

Adeline pondered for a moment. She then pulled out her magic paintbrush and started doodling.

"I've never done something this big before, but I think it should work!"

When she finished, a small airship appeared. The three climbed in it, and set off into the air. When they reached the edge of the island, they found the rest of the Dees.

"Up here!" Adeleine called. All six looked to the sky.

"It's Adeleine on her way to heaven!" Doo cried. Tears formed in each Dee's eyes.

"No, I'm alive! I was woken up by a smelly sock!"

Dopey and Prince Fluff waved down at the Dees. The Dees cheered. Adeleine lowered the airship and let them board.

"Alright, it's a bit crowded in here, but let's go!"

When they arrived at the castle, a dark force enveloped it. Adeleine lead the group through the hallways she'd grown up cleaning. When they arrived at Sectonia's chamber, they found her dead on the ground.

"Oh dear Nova!" Fluff cried. Adeleine gasped, and the Dees all tried to cover Dopey's eyes. Standing in front of the mirror was a dark puffball with a torn cape. He turned around, revealing a cracked mask.

"Intruders? Well, you'll be no match for me. After all, your savior is dead."

Adeleine took out the magic paintbrush and created a shield around the group. Dark Meta Knight's eyes widened when he realized that their savior was standing right in front of him.

"How did you- never mind, you can't win against me!" He lunged forward, piercing the shield with his sword. The group scattered, and Fluff pulled out his whip. When Dark Meta Knight landed, Fluff lassoed the round knight. He tried breaking the whip, but he had dropped his sword.

"It doesn't matter if you have me! My master will rise and take over this world, and you won't do anything to stop it!"

Adeleine looked around. "Is anyone afraid of seven years of bad luck?"

Everyone shook their heads no.

"It's better than letting the kingdom get taken over." Doo said.

The group chucked an angry borb into the mirror, and once he was sealed inside, Doo broke the mirror with his picaxe. The kingdom was safe.

"Well, this has certainly been an interesting day." Adeleine said. "The kingdom is without a ruler now. I feel bad for those two, and I hope they're happy now."

Fluff nodded. "I can help you guys. I can take over her duties for now. This kingdom is allied with ours, so I'm sure everything will be fine."

And so it was.
