The end of school is almost here which I think might be the reason why I'm writing so much, because I'm all pumped up I guess.
DK waited at the Rougeport Harbor for the boatman to arrive. He literally just got done exploring the region over the course of a few days. He was completely stunned by the beauty of the surrounding areas, though not by Rogueport itself obviously. After hearing the news of Mario defeating the Shadow Queen in this very area not too long ago, he really wanted to see the place for himself. It was like a different country, something DK totally wasn't use to.
"Man, I had some fun in this place. Although I really can't see myself living in Rogueport, it still interests me...maybe I should rent an apartment in Poshley Heights or Glitzville. And I could take the Kongs with me for a vacation once in a while too. Yeah...that sounds quite lovely." DK said to himself.
Finally, the boatman arrived and this boatman was very familiar looking.
"Oh! You're Bobbery, aren't you? Mario showed me pictures from his trip here so I immediately recognized you. Mario told me you were a sailor, but I didn't know you did the boatrides from Rogueport to Mushroom City." DK said.
"HMPH!" Bobbery snarled and stomped angrily into the boat.
"Ooh, I guess he's in a bad mood." DK whispered and got into the boat as well. The motor started running and the boat immediately took off.
DK stood outside on the back of the boat, watching Rogueport get smaller as the boat got further away from it. Even though Rogueport was a dirty and odd place, the way the setting was with the sun shining brightly and crystal clear waters made Rogueport seem like a swell place.
As he took a few minutes to take it all in, DK went back in the boat.
"Sooooo Bobbery! What was it like fighting against that...what was it called, Shadow Queen demon thing? Must've been really scary. I don't even think Diddy or Dixie could handle it, haha!" DK laughed. Bobbery ignored him and continued to steer the boat.
"Err...I heard about your backstory with your wife and all. I'm really sorry to hear that, I can't imagine what it feels like to lose a loved one..." Dk said, trying to keep a conversation going. Bobbery still ignored him. This was frustrating DK.
"Hey, is there something wrong? You seem totally out of it."
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bobbery screamed and whipped his head back to him. Dk jumped as soon as this happened. His face looked demented and angry.
"Sorry, sorry! Didn't mean to make you...um...explode!" Dk quickly apologized and turned away from him. He felt that something was completely wrong here.
An hour passed by and the boat finally arrived at Mushroom Harbor. Dk sighed in relief as he had finally returned home. He got up and walked to the door.
"Um, thank you for taking me here. How much do I owe you now?" DK asked, reaching for his wallet.
Bobbery didn't say anything, still. He kept staring out the window.
"Uhhh, I'll just leave 100 coins here then. Is that okay?" He asked, putting the money on a small table near Bobbery. The bomb still didn't respind.
DK frustratingly sighed. He exited the boat.
"I'd really like to know what the hell that guy's problem was. Maybe he gets emotional when he goes out to sea..." He said to himself.
Suddenly, DK fell over on his face as he felt something grab hard of his right foot.
"OH! WHAT THE HELL?" He screamed.
He then was being dragged back into the boat. DK called out for help as he dug his nails into the boardwalk, screeching and leaving marks on the boardwalk. He tried to do anything he could to attempt to get away but it was a failure as DK was pulled into the boat and the door was slammed shut.
EOC.
Yikes. Screeching nails. You have no idea how much that unnerves me. But anyways, we're almost at the end so keep checking on this fic!
