Morning Surprise
6:20 am, the clock read. Only ten more minutes. Barely enough to recover from the extreme exhaustion that he was suffering. It was just another morning, going to have to go through the same old struggle of getting up, slipping out of bed and putting the same old armour on again, with barely any energy. Then follows a moderate breakfast and a half hearted spirit ready for work. Just the everyday morning for Meta Knight.
But to be frank, he was getting tired of it all. The last time he had a day off was...uh...well, he never did. If only I could have a day off now, he thought.
Nah, it was impossible. His duty everyday was to protect King Dedede, the unruly king of Dreamland who would be the source of all problems and the ultimate reason why he needed protecting. In other words, he needed protecting from himself, which seemed suicidal, but Meta Knight's duty was also to protect Dreamland, so it was like King Dedede making Meta Knight run around and beat up bad guys just for fun. It was a job he hated.
But it was a job he had to keep, for if he didn't he'd become out of work, no money or shelter and would end up drinking cheap wine in a gutter next to the liquor store. Meta Knight despised people like that, so did the job to keep his stuff.
Of course, not everyday was a fight for justice, or an 'Entertain Dedede' day. Dedede always got his troublemakers from a company whose general manager he was friends with, so that meant occasional deals on your everyday punch bag villain. Sometimes, Meta Knight got bored and decided to see things from Dedede's point of view by slamming a one quite inexperienced Kirby in front of a large, crushing machine to fend off while he sat back with a lemonade and shades (hang on, he can't wear shades. Curse my lack of Kirby knowledge).
But the thing in whole was just horrible. He loathed the people who thought school was tough. When they got up 8:00, he got up 6:30. When they got shouted at by teachers, he'd get shouted at by Dedede (which isn't really much of a difference). But when they schooled and learnt the ways of the world, he fought and learnt the ways of the...well, he was already a warrior, so what else did he have to learn?
The clock gave out an annoying ring and Meta Knight turned to hear a voice message coming from Dedede. He got one every morning, it was either "Rise and shine, servant!", "I want my latte served by 7:00, and if it's not perfect, then I'll fire you!" or "Blah blah blah concerning your job...........*strange sounds*...oh yeah, that feels real good...oh poo, I forgot to turn the microphone off..."
But as he guessed which one would rant at him to get up, instead, he got a completely different one, starting with a sigh.
"...Because of a big storm last night, it snowed. Because it snowed, we've been snowed in. Because we're snowed in, I can't get my evilicious orders sent out. And because I can't get my orders out, there are no baddies to stop. And because there are no baddies to stop...*sigh and groan*...you have the day off...*sniff*...Boo hoo...Waaaaah! Waaaa........*click*"
Meta Knight watched the clock for two seconds and looked at his window. He noticed there was a white glow coming from it. No way of getting out, no way of getting in.
With the same feeling as a kid who just found out he had no school because of a snow day, Meta Knight smiled behind the mask, giggled slightly, then closed his eyes slowly before falling to sleep like a little baby.
Aww...even though guys like Meta Knight have their moments of cuteness.
I'M NOT GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
