Chapter1

(Fumu's Point of view)

Yes, I had to admit it. I'm in love with Sir Meta Knight. After all without his Battleship Halberd, I don't know how we would have defeated Nightmare. In our battles against that fiend he always helped me every time I was in a bad predicament and always made sure I was fine. But ever since Kirby defeated Nightmare, Meta Knight has no reason to be with me anymore. But, I will not give up. I will make this knight like me no matter what!

Now I know what you're thinking, "Meta Knight is too old for you". Well, recently I read in my biology book that Meta Knight's species mature a lot slower than normal beings. In my guess, Meta Knight must be in his mid twenties in human years.

Anyway, I'm going to celebrate my eighteenth birthday tonight so I guess I'll just go and see if Meta Knight would care to join the festivity. To avoid any trouble with Dedede and his stooge, Escargon, the party is going to consist of just my family, Kirby, and (hopefully) Meta Knight. I was going to ask Sword and Blade to come too, but they're going to be busy tonight (I don't know the details).

I trotted down the castle halls and stopped at Meta Knight's room. Not wanting to sound like a fool, I calmly prepared a conversation and repeated it over in my head. I knocked politely at his door and waited patiently.

"Hello Fumu." Blade said as she opened the door. "What's up?"

"Is Sir Meta Knight here?" I muttered.

"No not right now. I think he's at the courtyard right now. Why do you ask?"Blade queried.

"Tonight we're having my birthday party and I was wondering if he would like to come over for it," I replied.

"O. I don't want to seem rude or anything but Sir Meta Knight would probably refuse your offer since he doesn't care much for those sort of things"

"There's no harm in trying. Anyway for the birthdays in my family we usually have sherbet. Do you know what flavor Meta Knight likes?"

"Strawberry I think. He's very agreeable so he'd probably be perfectly fine with anything just as long as it isn't blueberry."

"Okay, thanks Blade. See ya later"

I rushed down to the courtyard and my heart skipped a beat as Meta Knight turned and faced me.

"Good evening, Sir Meta Knight" I spoke softly trying to keep my cool.

"Same to you Fumu" the knight responded courteously.

"Um... er… Would you like to come to my birthday party tonight?" I mumbled.

"…"

"You don't have to if you don't want to…" I stated trying to mask the disappointment that I felt.

"What time is it going to be at?"

"9 p.m."

"I'll be there."

"Really! Thank you Meta Knight!" I said happily.

Inwardly rejoicing, I left Meta Knight and went to go get Kirby.

(Meta Knight's P.O.V.)

Just seeing the look on her face made me feel I had to go… It isn't going to be very polite if I don't bring a gift. But what should it be? I walked up to my room and started looking through my shelves. I can't give any of this to a girl, I thought hopelessly. Then I spotted my well hidden candy jar. I grabbed some wrapping paper that was conveniently under my bed and tackled it.

It took me less than a minute to have it perfectly wrapped but I started to lose courage. It's not that I'm selfish or anything but I absolutely LOVE candy. I had to be there with a gift but this was my last canister. Since I had 3 hours to find a suitable gift, I resolved to give up my candy jar only if I couldn't find anything else.

I walked into town regretting that I didn't ask Blade for advice. I could get her flowers but they would wither so quickly and non-picked flowers are always prettier. I couldn't get her any clothes because I don't know her size and it would certainly be embarrassing to shop for girl's clothes.

It was starting to look more and more dismal when I remembered she likes books! I hurried over to the book store and found it to be CLOSED! I nearly fell over when I saw the sign. The book store was my last hope.

I sat at the shop thinking of a way out of having to give up my candy. Jewelry? Could I find any? Then I remembered the incident where Parm, (Fumu's dad) was trying to give his wife, Memu a ring. Perfect! I ran back to the castle and slipped over to Parm's room, unseen.

"Eee!" Parm gasped. "O it's just you Sir Meta Knight! Please don't scare me like that!"

"Excuse me," I said, motioning for him to keep his voice down. "But I was wondering if you knew where I could find jewelry or had some I could purchase."

"Ehhh? Jewelry? What do you what with jewelry?" Parm questioned.

"Well to make a long story short, you know how Fumu invited me over tonight. Well I don't have anything to give her." I explained.

"Hmm… I don't think she will mind if you don't give her anything but if you insist…" said Parm as he walked over to his dresser. After shuffling through some of his drawers he pulled out a shimmering, emerald bracelet.

"Here you go, I think this will do. I was going to give this to Memu, but I think I will look nice on Fumu," asserted Parm.

"Thank you," I replied."How much does it cost?"

"No need to repay me but if you insist, how about 100 deden?" said Parm.

"Fair enough," I stated. "Just don't tell Fumu about this."

"Will do." said Parm. "See you at the party."

(Fumu's P.O.V.)

The party is going to start in an hour and a half so I better finish setting up. I already got Kirby and Bun should be here in a little while. Now let's see… a few balloons, a clean tablecloth… That should do it. Now to make the dessert… O great, I was so excited about this party that I forgot what Blade told me! What flavor does Meta Knight like! I suppose since Kirby likes watermelon because he's pink, Meta Knight would like blueberry because he's blue. So strawberry for me and Mom, pineapple for Bun and Dad, watermelon for Kirby, and blueberry for Meta Knight.

"Hey Sis," greeted Bun.

"Hurry up and wash you're hands,"I commanded. "This party is going to start soon."

Bun nodded. He was suspiciously submissive but maybe he was just being nice since it was my birthday. I cautiously set out the desserts, making sure Kirby wouldn't gobble them all up. And at 9 sharp, my parents and Meta Knight appeared. Everyone sang Happy Birthday, and I blew out the candle on my sherbet.

Kirby handed me a paper with Happi Bithday written all over it and Bun gave me a new sketchbook. Mom presented me some new clothes and Dad gave me three new books. I was thanking my family and Kirby for the presents when Meta Knight handed me a small box.

"For me!" I exclaimed.

"Open it," Meta Knight replied.

My heart was beating fast as I took of the lid to find a sparkling, emerald bracelet.

"Ah! It's so beautiful!" I cried. "Thank you so much!"

"The pleasure is all mine," said Meta Knight.

"Let's dig in!" shouted Bun.

(Meta Knight's P.O.V.)

I smiled under my mask on seeing Fumu's delight when she opened my present. Quite a success I thought as everyone ate their sherbet. I was about to 'dig in' myself when I noticed mine was flavored blueberry. I HATE blueberries! But how was Fumu to know that and just because she didn't I wasn't going to spoil the party. I lifted up my mask slightly and forced the sherbet down. It was just as disgusting as I thought. I kept my composure but I was sure my eyes were changing color. Thankfully the party was soon over; I wished Fumu many happy returns and hurried back to my room.

I jumped in bed with an upset stomach but was able to fall asleep quickly. Little did I know that a certain girl was gazing upon my gift with a grateful smile and a promise on her lips.
