OMG!!! I'M ACTUALLY CREATING A STORY ON FANFICTION THAT IS MORE THAN 10 CHAPTERS LONG! (O.o)

???: Good for you.

Review Button: Yeah. Great.

???: Aren't you supposed to be at the bottom of the screen, waiting for people to poke you?

Review Button: I'm out...!

...ANYWAYS...Yay! Thank you for ALL OF YOU GUYS WHO ARE REVIEWING! *bright smile* It makes my day. Especially the satisfied reviews. I'm glad you all like how my story is coming along. You know, it's not easy for an 11 year old (I'm almost 12, okay? June!) to cover all of this, with school..BUT NEVERTHELESS I AM HAAAAAAAAAPPY!

I TYPE TOO MUCH! LET CHAPTER 10 BEGIN!

Hikaru's POV

I smiled devilishly and walked away behind Meta Knight. Before we turned a corner, I stuck out my tongue to the little brats. I saw that pony tailed creature's expression...priceless.

I snickered quietly and turned my head back into the focus of Meta Knight's small round body. "Meta Knight?"

He stopped walking, but did not respond.

"Um...thanks for helping me out back there. It's really not easy, having someone push lies on you like that." I said. Meta Knight still didn't respond. I sighed and once again, I put on my play face. "Like I said, I'm really sorry about being all rude like that," I said, hoping he would buy every word I said. "I guess I was just...scared."

Finally, he spoke. "I understand." he said, his voice emotionless.

I stood there, looking for something else to say. "Um...anyways, I'm new here. My name is Hikaru. You see, I...I came here when I was exploring places throughout the universe."

Meta Knight remained emotionless in his voice, but he nodded his head without turning to face me. "I see."

I sweat dropped. This guy wasn't much of a talker. We continued to walk for about a few more minutes.

"So..." I tried to make some pep talk to avoid the awkward silence. "Who...does this castle belong to?"

"This is the home of King Dedede, the king of Dreamland. He has an accomplice, Escargon." That was the most I've ever heard him say. "Oh." I replied. I continued to follow him until I heard someone shouting.

"STOP! STOP RIGHT THERE!" I flinched and my feet quickly stopped. I saw a snail running towards me, with about a hundred Waddle Dees behind him. I groaned.

Meta Knight stopped walking. "What's wrong?"

Escargon angrily pointed at me. "Do you know who that is?!" Meta Knight responded calmly. "She is an adventurer from another planet."

Escargon shook his head, and the Waddle Dees surrounded me. A couple of them grabbed my arms so I couldn't move, and the rest had their spears pointed straight at me. "That's the one who broke into the castle! The one who charred his Majesty's walls!"

Meta Knight turned to face me. I was struggling to get the Waddle Dees off of me. "Okay, who told you that?!"

"I did!"

I looked past the crowd of Waddle Dees and saw Ponytail, Shaggy, and Kirby standing beside Escargon. I growled. Ponytail continued to talk. "If Meta Knight wouldn't listen, then I had to tell somebody else! You're really dangerous! Dream Land can't have you running around, burning things!"

Meta Knight then spoke. "Fumu," he said, turning back around. "When you told me this creature hurt Kirby, what exactly did it do?"

"It attacked Kirby by throwing bombs and shooting out flames all over the place!" Fumu said.

"Lair!" I said. "You told Kirby to start attacking me! I only did it because it was in self-defense!"

"But Kirby didn't even try to hurt you!" Fumu yelled.

"He did when he jumped on my head!" I protested.

"But that was when you tried to attack me!"

"QUIT FIGHTING!" Escargon yelled. "Commands from his Majesty is to have that fiery beast locked up! On charges for damaging the castle walls!"

The Waddle Dees holding my arms quickly pulled them behind me, and tied up my hands with ropes. "HEY!" I shouted. "Let me go!" I swung the Waddle Dees on my arm away, but the other Waddle Dees just ended up taking the other Waddle Dee's place.

I tried, and failed, to get those things off of me. There were just too many of them. Finally, I just gave up and let them take me away. I could feel everyone staring at me.

Especially Meta Knight.

Oh...Hikaru got taken away to the castle's jail/wine cellar.

???: That doesn't look to good.

(O.o)

Uh-oh...what's going to happen? Anyways, I'm planning to update the same day today, so look for another chapter today!
