Ch. 3 The Ghost of Christmas Past (Lololo and Lalala)
Dedede decided to go to bed. Dedede thought about what happened today. Was it a dream? It seems real to Dedede. Dedede thought about it repeatedly. Just then, the clock began to toll. It is 12:00 p.m. Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Dedede immediately covered his ears. The tolls were so loud. Dedede tried to stop the clock from tolling. Still it kept tolling.
"Stop it!" yelled Dedede.
The clock stopped tolling. Dedede looked at the clock. It is 12:01 p.m.
Just then, a flash appeared out of nowhere. Dedede closed his eyes. The flash disappeared. When Dedede opened his eyes, he saw two creatures. One was blue with small feet and hands. The other one looks exactly like the first one only it is pink and has a bow tie on its head.
"Are you the ghost of Christmas past who haunts me when the clock tolls 12?" asked Dedede.
"Yes we are!" they both said. "I am Lololo," said the blue one. "I am Lalala," said the pink one.
"Long past?" asked Dedede.
"No, your past," said Lololo.
"Oh," said Dedede.
"Take hold of my hand," said Lololo.
Dedede did what the ghost said. Suddenly Lololo and Lalala began to fly with Dedede. Dedede screamed as they flew out of town. They finally landed. The town seemed younger.
"Do you remember this time?" asked Lalala.
"This is when I was a young boy." Dedede said happily.
"Come on, I think we have to show you someone you know," Lololo said.
They took them to an orphanage. They looked out of the window. Inside there are young Cappies. A lonely child sat on the floor. Dedede looked at him closely.
"It's me," Dedede said.
A Cappy opened the door. Dedede recognize him.
"Hey, that's the owner of the orphanage," Dedede said.
Every orphan looked at the Cappy.
"Kids, it's time to find your new parents," said the Cappy. "Be on your best behavior."
Little Dedede was excited. Unfortunately, no one took him. He was sad. The cappy looked at little Dedede.
"Sorry we couldn't find you a family, but you have to stay at the orphanage again," said the Cappy.
Little Dedede looked at the window. Dedede looked shocked.
"Don't worry, nobody will see us, there are the shadows of your memory," exclaimed Lalala.
Little Dedede sighed. "I don't want to stay here," said little Dedede. "I want a family."
Dedede looked a little sad. "Since my parents passed away, no one wanted me." he said.
The ghosts shook their heads.
"I will show you when you were a young adult." Lololo said.
A flash appeared again. Dedede closed his eyes again. When he opened his eyes, he saw another building. They looked inside. Inside Broom Hatters are cleaning. Dedede and Poppy Bros. Sr. are working. Suddenly, a Cappy opened the door.
"Everybody listen," said the Cappy.
Everyone turned their attention to the Cappy.
"Since you did a lot of work and its Christmas Eve, we will have a party," the Cappy said.
Everyone cheered. Suddenly, music started playing. Everyone danced except Dedede. He was sitting on the chair by himself.
"This music is great," Lalala said while snapping her fingers.
Just then, someone tapped Dedede. Dedede looked up. An artist appeared. Dedede recognize the artist.
"That's Adeleine," Dedede said.
Dedede was sweating.
"Care to dance?" Adeleine asked.
Dedede was still sweating. Adeleine kissed Dedede. Dedede begin to blush. Soon they begin to dance.
"I love Adeleine so much," Dedede said.
Dedede sighed. "She said we would be friends, but lately she's angry with me," Dedede said.
"Then we will show you the reason," Lalala said.
Another flash appeared. When the flash was gone, Dedede was shown counting money. Just then, Adeleine opened the door fast and stomped in without even asking.
"Dedede!" Adeleine said. Dedede looked up.
"Can't you see I'm busy," Dedede said.
"Busy doing what? Counting your money!" Adeleine said.
"Yes," Dedede said.
"Fine, I don't want to be friends with you anymore," Adeleine said.
She tossed the picture Dedede had given to her. "Goodbye. I hope you're happy with the life you've chosen," Adeleine said.
Adeleine stomped out of the room. The artist closed the door hard. Dedede looked up.
"What was that Adeleine?" Dedede asked.
The door was still closed.
"Oh, never mind, Adeleine left," said Dedede.
He went back counting money.
Dedede was now sad.
"Oh no, I lost Adeleine." Dedede said while sobbing.
"Goodbye Dedede." The ghosts said.
"Wait!" said Dedede.
The ghosts faded away. A flash appeared. When the flash disappeared, he was back in his room.
