The Next Day

I open my eyes, slowly awaken as I look around my room, having the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream that the person who gave me the rose was in my room. Man, and I still haven't figured out who had sent me the rose. Maybe I'll figure it out soon enough, but right now, I was hungry. I hopped from my bed, nightgown still on before I suddenly smelt pancakes. Wait, someone was in my room? Right now?! Oh crud, what if its a monster, like the last times when one tried to kill me. Oh no, I wasn't going to become monster chow, not today! Slowly, I reached for one of my pillows, tip-toeing quietly so I could sneak up on the monster. The delicious smell was getting close, then, I stop. I squeezed my pillow a bit, gulping as some sweat trailed from my forehead before I rushed out.

"Eat this, ya monster scum!"

I yelled out, readying my pillow before I stop. "Whoa Alexandria, relax! Its just us!" I hear a familiar voice say as I stopped the pillow quickly. It was Sword and Blade? They were cooking me breakfest? Heck, I didn't even know that they even cooked at all! I thought they just protected me like so, and Meta Knight too... Wait, Meta Knight, the rose, it all makes perfect sense! Meta Knight sent me the rose- Wait, am I really kidding. He wouldn't, were just friend. "Wait, you guys cook? But your knights, I don't get the concept.."I say, making things really weird now as Blade spoke up. "Hey, that's stereotypical ya know! We can cook good, right Sword?" He asked as he nodded. I sigh, shaking my head. "Ok, ok, relax Blade, I'm sorry. Promise I won't do that again.. Now, I'm hungry, so the sooner this is done, the faster it can get into my belly!" I say as Sword spoke up. "And you not ending up in a monster's belly.. Remember?" He asked as I sighed, remembering Leo. Man, did he really have to bring that up. "Yeah Sword, I still remember... It still haunts me to this very day." I say as small shivers went down my spine, my eyes closing as the memory came to me. God, I do not want to relive that moment again.

Breakfest Skip to Outside at Kirby's House

"Hey, Kirby, ya here? Its me, Alexandria! I brought over some leftover pancakes Sword and Blade made. They have honey syrup on them!" I shout as a small pink puffball came running out at me, stopping before he sucked the pancakes in a few seconds flat. He gulped, smiling as he jumped in joy. "Poyo Poyo!" He said happily before hugging me. I hugged back, smiling before I heard a familiar, yet annoying voice. "You feed that kid anymore stuff, and soon he's gonna crush ya." The voice said as I sighed, speaking up. "Relax Takori, they're just pancakes. Its not like he's not gonna eat anything else.. Which surprises me why he hasn't gobbled you up yet." I say, shrugging as he flew over, pecking at my head. "Hey, stop it, I mean it! I will swat you down!" I say, flailing my arms about before he scoffed, flying off. Man, that bird is a pain in my neck, I'm telling ya. One day, I really am gonna feed him to Kirby, even if I go down with him! He annoys everybody he sees or knows!

"Alexandria, Kirby! Hey guys!"

I turned, seeing Tiff and Tuff rush over as I smiled. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked them as Tiff spoke up. "Fine actually, we came to check up on you. We were just coming to see Kirby, then we saw you." She mentioned as Tuff spoke up. "Sword and Blade told us you almost hit them with your pillow, man, was that funny!" He said as I cringed to that one. Man, for some knights, they could be real gossipy too. "Yeah, I thought it was monsters that were gonna turn me into monster chow, but I guess I was wrong.." I say as I shrugged as Tiff laughed a bit. "Its fine. Besides, I wouldn't blame you. With all the countless monsters Dedede's thrown at you, I wouldn't be surprised if you thought those things." She said as I nodded, laughing a bit nervously. Yeah, Dedede, the big fat penguin. He's always trying to get rid of me or tries to throw me out of Cappytown, just like Kirby. And yet, he still fails, big time. After talking for a bit, we saw the Poppy Bros come our way, Poppy Bro Jr. balancing a cake on his head.

"Hey guys, what's going on!"

"We haven't seen ya in a while!"

They both said differently as we smiled, rushing over. "Heya Poppy Jr., Poppy Sr. Man, it has been a while, glad to see you guys are good." Tiff said Poppy Bro Sr. nodded. Tuff then saw the cake, curious. "Hey guys, who's the cake for? Smells tasty." He said, going to reach it before Tiff grabbed him, scolding him. Watching, I sighed before Poppy Jr. comes over to me, dropping it near me. "This is actually for Alexandria. Were lucky we ran into ya, or else it would have been a long trip downtown, but still! Here ya go!" He said, smiling as I slowly opened the box, my eyes widening in surprise as my mouth watered as well. It was a chocolate cake, being three layers big, that had rose petals on top and the sweet smell of honey in it. "Wow.. IT LOOKS SO DELICIOUS! OHMEGOD, WHOEVER DID THIS IS SO TERRIFIC!" I say in excitement as Tiff and Tuff watch me go crazy. "Who wants a piece!?" I ask everyone as they raised their hands, speaking up.

"We do!"

"Poyo!"

"Alright then, let's munch down!" I say as we did, eating as much as we can as I thought to myself once more about what has happened. First, there was the single red rose, now a freaking gigantic cake! Man, whoever is doing this must know me real well. I was thinking, but, nah, I'll do that later! WHO HAS TIME TO THINK WHEN I HAVE CAKE?! CAKE, I SAY!
