The little Waddle Dee found a mysterious looking mountain, with what appeared to be a castle perched on top. "What's that?" He inquired. Curiously, he ran towards the mountain, and that's when he saw something that left him in awe. There were more Waddle Dees, just like him, but they were carrying spears, and performing all sorts of impressive moves with them. "Cool!" He shouted... So loud that it scared the other Waddle Dees, who toppled over onto each other. One of them noticed the child, and walked towards him. "Hey, kid! What are you doin' yelling like that!? Can't ya see we're busy?" The older Waddle Dee huffed. "Oh... Sorry, sir..." The little one apologized. Then, a question popped into his mind; "...Busy doing what?" "We're busy training!" The older one replied. "Training? What are you training for?" The child asked. "You see kid, we're in King Dedede's Waddle Dee army! And we're training so we can be ready to fight off any monsters that might try to attack the king!" The older Waddle Dee explained. The little one tilted his head curiously. "Who's King Dedede?" he asked. All of the other Waddle Dees gasped. "You DON'T know who King Dedede is!?" They all exclaimed in unison. "No..." The little one replied. "Who is he?" "Only THE greatest thing to happen to Dream Land!" A Waddle Dee with bright blue eyes piped up, and she ran over to the child and handed him a poster with King Dedede's picture on it.
"That's him?" The child asked, staring at the poster, completely mesmerized. "That's him!" The blue eyed Waddle Dee replied. "Wow... He's SO cool!" The little Waddle Dee beamed. "VERY cool!" The blue eyed Waddle Dee replied. The little one was still looking at the poster. But suddenly, he looked at the others with wide eyes. "Someday, when I'm bigger, I wanna be part of King Dedede's army too!" He exclaimed. "He's just so COOL!" "Yeah, yeah, he's cool. Now can we get back to training!?" The other Waddle Dee from before grumbled, stamping his foot impatiently. "All right, All right!" The blue eyed Dee said, rolling her eyes at the older Dee. Then she patted the little one on the head. "You can keep that poster. It'll remind you of your dream. And feel free to come and visit anytime!" She smiled. And with that, she and the other Waddle Dee returned to their group, and they resumed their training.
The little one waved, and then he slowly tiptoed away so as not to scare the others again.
That night, the little Waddle Dee just couldn't stop admiring the poster. He stared it until he fell asleep. And all night, he had dreams about working for King Dedede and battling fearlessly in his army. The prospect of working for a cool looking king, and learning to battle like the other Waddle Dees was something that the little one just couldn't get off of his mind now, no matter how hard he tried.
The next morning, the little Waddle Dee headed for his favorite part of Dream Land, a huge field of flowers filled with beautiful butterflies of many different colors. He had fun chasing the butterflies, pretending that they were monsters that he had to chase away from King Dedede's Castle. "Leave King Dedede alone, you big monsters!" He giggled. He continued to chase the "monsters," for a while, but he wasn't looking where he was going. And he accidentally bumped into someone...
