Somewhere in some time zone I am still on time.
Maybe double update if I have the time.
12. Proper Picnicking
of the mountains.
"Kirby, I have never met those strange things before!" Bandana Dee accused, sneezing into his scarf, which was pretty gross, but there was little you could do on White Wafers.
"They're my capsule j friends! You do know them!" Kirby retorted indignantly. "They kidnapped you once and brought you over to my house!"
"Oh god, it's them?"
"Yes, it's them. They owe me a huge debt, anyway." Kirby grinned in anticipation, and Bandana Dee found himself creeped out. "Okay, since we only have half a day, then we better do things fast!"
The waddle dee snatched a look at his surroundings. Nothing except for Kirby, the terrifying capsule js, and snow. And rocks. Completely devoid of any creature. Bandana Dee wouldn't have felt so afraid if he hadn't known that they were at White Wafers—speaking of that, that were they even doing?
He looked back at where Kirby was and the pink puffball was unpacking his picnic basket.
"Kirby, why are we having a picnic in the mountains?!"
"What? You don't like picnics?" Kirby looked past Bandana Dee, where the five capsule js were standing in a huddle. "Or is it those capsule js? They're not gonna eat you, Band-Dand. Capsule js don't really like waddle dees. They're herbivores."
Exhaling, Bandana Dee watched his breath dissipate. "No, not them." Although they did disturb him a bit. "This setting. In general. If you wanted a picnic you could've had it in one of the fields near your house, not up here, where it's freezing and completely unfit to host a picnic!"
Seeing as how Kirby had already laid the mat and taken out most of his packed food, it didn't seem like he would be stopping anytime soon. The capsule js behind Bandana Dee waddled up to the mat and began eyeing the laid food like a bundle of cannibals.
"Band-Aid, don't be so boring. It's called experience," Kirby said in a professional tone, though Kirby and professional never went together. "When you head back to the castle, you can brag about having a picnic in White Wafers all you like. In fact, did you bring one of those cameras? You should just take a bunch of polaroids to commemorate this unique event."
"It's dangerous here. They're a gigantic gorilla here that's said to snack on random tiny beings here every day," Bandana Dee warned, although his mental "do not argue with the Kirby, nothing will come out of it" note was kicking in.
"Oh, that's cool. Maybe it can be a boss."
"Kirby, this is creepy. Those capsule js don't even talk."
"They don't like you. They think you're really stiff."
Bandana Dee huffed and finally sat at the edge of the mat.
