Day 10

The sunlight burst through the window, causing Sword and Blade to jump up from their bed to shield their eyes. Sword carefully peered through the sunlight to see that it was Meta Knight who opened the curtains.

"Good morning," greeted Meta Knight.

"What time is it?" mumbled Sword, who felt very tired to move out of his bed. Blade looked over his shoulder and looked at the alarm clock.

"It is 7:30 a.m.," said Blade.

Normally their alarm clock would turn on, but the alarm had been disfunctioning during the past few days [prior to their vacation].

"It's too early for us to wake up," mumbled Sword who wrapped himself in his blanket despite the heat.

Eventually, Sword and Blade couldn't resist the bright sunlight burning their eyes, so they got up from their bed and dressed up.

[Do you actually think they sleep in that armor?]

"How long has it been since we were in vacation?" asked Blade.

"10 days," replied Blade.

"Today is the last day of your vacation," said Meta Knight.

Sword and Blade's eyes glowed and even became teary. They jumped up in excitement and hugged each other.

"Sword, if we can survive this day, we don't have to return to Cappy Town anymore. We can finally get back to work!" squealed Blade.

"You guys are worse than my fangirls," muttered Meta Knight.

"Let's go and get this over with!" exclaimed Sword.

Sword and Blade marched out of the room. Once they disappeared Meta Knight blew a sigh and walked out of the room to start his work day. Sword and Blade walked to Chef Kawasaki's place to have some breakfast.

As they sat on their seat they looked at each other awkwardly.

"Hey Sword, did Meta Knight tell us what are we going to do today?" asked Blade.

Sword stood frozen for a second, causing an eerie silence between the two. They heard a loud crash from the kitchen.

"Sorry," said Chef Kawasaki across the restaurant.

"Sorry for what, those are just dishes. It's nothing terrible," said Blade.

"Your food was on that plate,"

"What the heck!" roared Blade.

"Calm down Blade, I'm sure Chef Kawasaki will get you another plate," reassured Sword.

"He better!" snapped Blade.

"I don't have anymore pancake mix, would you like something else?" offered Chef Kawasaki not realizing the kind of danger he had gotten himself into. Blade slammed his fist onto the table.

"But I wanted my pancakes," sobbed Blade all of a sudden. He slammed his head on the table. "Give me some omelet."

Chef Kawasaki heard Blade's order and immediately began to cook. Blade drooled on the table as he watched Sword eat his breakfast. Sword took a glimpse at Blade, but he quickly ignored him.

"Can I-"

"no," responded Sword.

Blade slammed his face on the table, again. He perked up, when he smelt the omelet coming to his table. He got his knife and fork and prepared to eat his meal.

"You act like you didn't eat for days," said Sword.

"Of course I'm hungry, if that guy didn't drop my food, I would be enjoying my meal much earlier," said Blade.

Blade continuously shoved food down his throat, while Sword took his time eating his food. Once Blade finished eating, he gargled his orange juice and burped.

"Can I have some of your pancakes?" asked Blade.

"This is MY food Blade, get your own!" snapped Sword.

"But I'm still hungry," whined Blade.

"Then get yourself another plate, but you pay for it,"

"We share the same account,"

"We do? No wonder we have the same password," said Sword who became very surprised.

"You thought all of that money belonged to you!" snapped Blade.

"Yes," mumbled Sword.

"So how much would that be?" asked Blade.

"That would be $30.35!" exclaimed Chef Kawasaki.

"What!" screamed Sword who spat orange juice on Blade's face. Blade glared at Sword, but he quickly turned his attention to Chef Kawasaki.

"Why that much!" screamed Sword.

"I am not going to pay for the pancakes that fell," said Chef Kawasaki.

"Look CHEF Kawasaki, I am tired of eating your over-priced terrible food. Every time I eat one of your meal; I get the urge to vomit! And guess what? This is our last day here. We don't have to suffer from eating your terrible food!"

"So are you guys going to pay?" asked Chef Kawasaki, who was tending another customer.

"He completely ignored me, didn't he?" muttered Sword.

"Yes he did Sword, yes he did," echoed Blade.

"He's lucky this is out last day here," said Sword.

Sword and Blade paid for all of their meal and stormed off the restaurant. The place because eerily quiet once the two knights disappeared. Gengu popped out of the kitchen, counting a wad of cash.

"I told you it'll work," said Gengu, while he counted the wad of cash.

"Who knew even King Dedede's servant had a lot of cash," said Chef Kawasaki.

Their eyes glowed as they counted the money.

Sword and Blade sat next to the large tree that stood at the center of the town to get some relief from the heat. There was not a cloud in sight to provide temporary relief from the sun and there was no wind stirring to ventilate their bodies to cool them off. Sword and Blade suffered from heat as they stare at the sky, wondering what they are going to do next.

"Hey, do you want to see what Chief Bookem is up to?" asked Sword.

"Better than staying out here in this heat," said Blade.

Sword and Blade walked over to the small police station and caught Chief Bookem snoozing on his job.

"Is this what you do all day?" asked Blade, who made Chief Bookem jump up from the surprise.

"W-what? W-who's there?!" exclaimed Chief Bookem who looked around the small jail until he spotted Sword and Blade standing in front of him.

"Oh, hello Sword and Blade; how is your vacation going?" asked the Chief.

"Is this what you do all day? It's like you are already on your vacation," said Blade.

"Oh no, there is rarely any crime in this small town, so there is nothing much for me to do, but keep an eye on this only criminal," said Chief Bookem.

Chief Bookem turned his head to check on his prisoner, but he was gone. Chief Bookem rushed to the small jail cell and indeed he saw no one.

"Sword, Blade, can you please check in the cell to make sure he is not playing any games?" asked the Chief.

"Sure, whatever," said Blade.

The two knights walked into the jail cell. The stood frozen for a couple of seconds, as if they sensed something.

"If you dare try to escape by jumping off the corner closest to the door and locking us in here, you'll wound up getting stabbed," threatened and Blade walked out of the jail cell. The prisoner jumped off the corner he was hidden in and sat on his small bed.

"Thank you so much! If I would have gone in there, I would have been trapped!" exclaimed Chief Bookem in delight.

"Whatever, this place is just as boring as you are. Let's go Blade,"

Sword and Blade walked out of the small police station. They decided to go to the mayor's house to see what he is up to. They knocked on the door, hoping for some kind of response. A very old woman slammed the door open and squealed in delight.

"Look who's here honey!" exclaimed the mayor's wife.

"What is it?" asked the mayor as he walked up to the door to see who it was.

"Why hello there Sword and Blade, would you too like to come in?" offered the mayor.

"Why do you think we knocked on YOUR door," snapped Blade.

"These guys are hilarious," said the mayor to his wife as Sword and Blade entered the small house and sat on a comfortable sofa.

"Would you two like some tea?" offered the mayor's wife.

"Uh sure," hesitated Blade.

The mayor's wife skipped to the kitchen and immediately began to boil the water. Sword and Blade looked around the living room to see if there is anything of interest.

"So uh, as mayor, what do you do?" asked Sword, who thought that was actually a stupid question because King Dedede makes all of the rules.

"I sort deal with property issue, personal issues, stuff concerning this town," said the mayor.

"Here is your tea!" exclaimed the mayor's wife.

"Thank you so much Hana," said the mayor.

His wife sat on a chair across from Sword and Blade. An awkward silence haunted the place. No one could come up with a conversation topic.

"So, what is it like to live in the castle?" asked Hana.

"We just walked around the castle with Meta Knight. We also make sure that no one disturbs the king," said Sword as he sipped the tea.

When it comes to either eating or drinking, it was very awkward for the knights. The have to raise their mask slightly enough for them to eat or drink. The mayor and his wife looked at the knights.

"Why do you wear that armor all the time?" asked Hana.

"It is sort of a chivalry thing. It was for a crazy reason back in the days, but we do it because it is traditional," said Sword.

"Even though the crazy reason would apply to Meta Knight," said Blade.

"Yeah,"

"Well, we should get going now. It was nice meeting you guys," said Blade.

Sword and Blade walked out of the house as the mayor and his wife waved good bye to the knights.

"Where are we going next?" asked Blade.

"Let's go to the clinic. I wonder what kind of cases the doctor gets," said Sword.

They walked over to the doctor's office, which was one of the buildings that surrounded the tree. They entered the small clinic and found the place very empty. Suddenly, a mother rushed into the clinic holding her son in her arms.

"Dr. Yabui! My son has a stomach ache!" cried out the mother.

"This is getting really stupid," muttered Sword.

"Hey look, they have a book store," pointed out Blade.

"We should make a book about our lives during vacation, because that is how crazy it what!" cried out Sword.

Sword and Blade lied next to the tree. They heard something break and Mr. Curio yelling at some children.

"I swear no one can leave that house without breaking something," said Blade. Sword nodded his head showing that he , they heard Tiff scream from far away followed by a dragon's roar. All of the Cappy Town citizen began to scream and panic.

"Sword, Blade, there's a monster attacking Cappy Town!" cried out Samo who ran out of the bar.

"Hey, we're on vacation. We are supposed to nothing but relax, okay?" said Sword who obviously did not care about the situation. The two knights continued to lie next to the tree, enjoying the shade.

"Sword, Blade, the town requires our assistance. We have to stall the monster so Kirby can transform," said a VERY familiar voice.

"Look man, we are on vacation!" snapped Sword.

"Very well then,"

They heard a sword clash onto something hard.

"Could it be?" asked Blade.

Sword and Blade stood quiet for a moment.

"Nahhh," said Sword and Blade in unison.

The battle raged throughout the day, while Sword and Blade lied on the tree having random conversations. The battle finally endied with the dragon's deafening scream after they heard a loud 'whack.'

After getting some food from the convenience store, the sky turned a pinkish tint. They walked towards the castle, but they stopped when they reached the entrance.

"You know, I am going to miss those Cappies. They are very stupid, but I like them," said Sword.

"Yeah, but too bad this is out last day of vacation. Tomorrow we are going to work with Meta Knight,"

They looked at Cappy Town which can be seen from a distance. The sun was half-way through the horizon, allowing the stars to pop up from the sky.

"Let's go," said Blade.

They entered the castle and walked straight to their room. They were about to take off their armor when they looked at each other and smiled. Sword and Blade ran out of the room.

--

Meta Knight opened his eyes to see that the sunlight was burning his face. He grabbed his mask which he placed on a small table next to his bed. He looked up and saw Sword and Blade staring at him.

Meta Knight was thrown off the window. His cape and armor fell on top of him.

"Have a nice vacation Meta Knight!" said Sword and Blade in unison.

Sword and Blade disappeared into the window and began their first day of work. Meta Knight glared at the window, which he was tossed from. He fixed his masked and blew a sigh.

"Well, I can not enter the castle so I might as well see what I can do in Cappy Town," said Meta Knight to Knight wiped himself and decided to walk to Chief Kawasaki's place to have some breakfast.
