Olimar left the nurse's office to get Kirby. He saw him by the fish tank with his little hands pressed against the glass, watching the fish swim around. Olimar smiled as he walked over and patted his head.
"See anything interesting?" he asked.
Kirby smiled and pointed to a bright yellow angelfish, "Poyo!"
Olimar chuckled, "Well, c'mon it's your turn."
"Poyo?"
"It's time for your checkup."
Alarmed, Kirby backed away a few steps, "Poy-poyo..."
"It's okay. It's just a checkup, so it'll be over before you know it." Olimar reassured.
Kirby shook his head, "Poyo!"
Olimar sighed, he didn't want to force the little guy, but what choice did he have? He picked Kirby up and carried him into the nurse's office. He could feel the little puff shaking in his arms.
The nurse started right away and measured Kirby's height and weight, then took his blood pressure. As the strap started constricting Kirby's arm, he panicked and tried to get it off.
"Poyo! Poyo!" he squealed.
Olimar tried to calm him, "It's okay Kirby, it'll be over soon!"
It took a full hour due to Kirby's occasional panicking, but to Kirby it was worth going through. After his checkup, he got a tootsie pop. A watermelon flavored tootsie pop!
"Poyoyo!" Kirby giggled happily.
Olimar chuckled, patting him on the head. He felt rather tired after trying to get Kirby to remain calm during his checkup, so he decided to turn in early.
Kirby followed Olimar, eating his treat on the way. Olimar opened the door to his room in brawl, and it wasn't half bad. It was moderately sized, it had a kitchen, a bedroom with a king-sized bed, and a closet. However, there was no bathroom... Oh well, there was one just down the hall anyway.
Kirby yawned wide, rubbing his eyes.
"Aww, you're tired, aren't you?" Olimar smiled, picking him up.
"Poyoy..." Kirby snuggled close to Olimar's chest before dozing off to sleep.
Olimar felt as if his heart had melted. He couldn't help but remember when his kids were younger and they would fall asleep in his arms.
