Author's Note: Okay, let's see what happens where we left off with Kirby and Ness. Chapter 2, begin!
Kirby and Ness returned to the Mansion as they put away their snow hats and coats and skates. Suddenly, Ike came over to see how they were doing.
"Hey, Kirby, Ness! Are you guys having fun so far?" He asked excitedly.
Kirby and Ness didn't answer. They just nodded while having glum looks on their faces.
"Hey, what's wrong, you two?" Ike asked concerned.
Kirby then spoke up, "Well, we WERE having fun until Dedede asked, 'How does Santa Claus get down those skinny little chimneys if he's so fat?'"
Ness nodded and said, "Yeah, we got to find out how cause if Santa can't get down the chimneys, no one will get any presents!"
"Oh, I see. Well, maybe I can help you guys figure it out." Ike said.
Kirby and Ness's faces lit up. "Really, you will?" They both cried.
"Of course. After all, I'd be concerned too if Santa can't bring us our gifts. Here's the plan. The three of us will go around and ask the others if they know how Santa can get down the chimney." Ike said.
"Okay!" Ness and Kirby said as the three scurried around the Mansion to interview the other Smashers with the big question: "How does Santa Claus get down the skinny chimneys?"
"He probably goes on a diet around Christmas to fit through the chimneys." Link said.
"Maybe he has one of his fellow elves with him to help him if he gets stuck." Pit said.
"Well, Santa is a magical being so maybe he uses magic to grow small so he can fit into the chimney." Zelda said.
"How should I know that? If I were Santa, I'd just blow up the chimney to get through it!" Bowser answered.
"Maybe his reindeer help him to push him in to get through the chimney." Captain Falcon said.
After asking most of the Smashers for about three hours, Kirby, Ness and Ike returned to together and fell from exhaustion. "Oh, we asked almost everyone but no one seems to know how." Ness said as he tried to catch his breath.
"I'm sorry, guys. I thought for sure we'd find out." Ike apologized as he picked himself up.
"Oh, this isn't getting us anywhere! Christmas Eve is here and we might never find out how Santa gets down the chimney!" Kirby had tears in his eyes and he rushed upstairs to his room.
"Kirby, wait!" Ness called. Ness know too well that Kirby was deeply upset by all this. Ness and Ike looked at other worriedly and concerned then Ike said, "Ness, you should go check on him.
Ness nodded and said, "Sure thing. Thanks for your help, Ike."
"Good luck, Ness." Ike waved as Ness rushed upstairs to Kirby's room. Damn, I hope Kirby will be okay. I hope they'll find out this Santa mystery. Ike thought in his mind and then he heard his best friend Marth calling to him.
"Ike! Come on, we need your help to set the table for Christmas dinner!" Ike then said, "Okay, coming!" The mercenary went to join the prince.
Meanwhile, upstairs in Kirby's room, Ness was sitting next to Kirby on his bed to comfort him. "Don't worry, Kirby. Even if we don't know how, Santa will come down the chimney. Really, he will." Ness said as he tried to smile to reassure Kirby things would be okay.
Kirby wiped his tears away and just shook his head, "No, no. It'll never work." Kirby started to lose hope that Santa will never get down the chimney and no one will get presents.
Then, Kirby and Ness heard Princess Peach calling for them. "Kirby! Ness! Come down! Christmas dinner is ready!"
"Okay, we're coming, Peach!" Ness called from Kirby's door. "Come on, Kirby. Let's go eat. Maybe a delicious meal will make you feel better."
Kirby got up slowly and said, "Sure… okay."
