Happy Thanksgiving everyone, enjoy this new chapter!

ARC 9: THE PENGUIN THAT CRIED UFO

Everyone was relaxing and eating in the lunchroom; however, they were a little anxious. Ever since it was learned that Wario is making active attempts to wreck their shit, they've been jumpy, freaking out at the sounds of motorcycles and screaming bloody murder when they smell garlic. When the Ancient Minister flew into the lunchroom that afternoon, several fired shots went at him, which he easily flew past.

"Sorry sir." apologized Samus, putting away her arm cannon. "We're not taking any chances, just in case Wario shows up."

"...WAS HE REALLY THAT BAD?" questioned the Minister.

"YES." said everyone in a ten-mile radius.

"...WELL, WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WARIO. IT'S NOT AS IF HE HAS AN ARMY OF, I DON'T KNOW, PUPPITS." The Minister floated over to the Normals table, which was the reason why he came in the first place. "DEDEDE."

The king of Dreamland was currently shoveling cooked ribs in his mouth, bones included. "Huh? Bhut do vou vant?"

"I AM HERE TO DISCUSS YOUR PUNISHMENT." replied the robot leader. Dedede spit out all of the bones into the Minister's face in dismay.

"What? I didn't do anything! Recently! Besides, you made all of us pay for the black market thing by making all of us cook breakfast, remember?" denied Dedede.

"Technically, the Minister's the one that ended up getting punished in the end." pointed out Lucario.

"YES. I STILL HAVE BREAD STUFFED IN MY CIRCUITRY; BUT THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE BEAM CLAW BLACK MARKET. THIS IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU STOLE EVERYONE'S STUFF DURING THAT WEEK WHERE LUCAS FINALLY LOST IT."

"Oh yeah. That was a thing." said Dedede sheepishly. Suddenly he gets assaulted by several thrown objects from Smashers around the room.

"You sold some of our things, too!" shouted Ganondorf, throwing forks and plates at the penguin.

"Yeah, you-a even sold my-a barbie doll!" said Luigi angrily. He immediately stepped down when he was treated with weird looks by everyone else in the room.

"FOR THOSE CRIMES, DEDEDE, YOU WILL HAVE TO... DO NIGHT WATCH DUTY FOR A WEEK." said the Ancient Minister ominously. Gasps came from all over the room, including the people who had been throwing stuff at Dedede. The penguin was as white as a ghost.

"What? No! Anything but that!" pleaded Dedede; night-watch duty was easily the worst chore anyone in the castle could get. It involved staying up all night on the roof of the castle, watching for any intruders; there were rarely any intruders anyway, since no one would want to fuck with the Smashers.

"That's what happens when you jack everyone's shit." muttered Falco.

"Hey, I returned your wallet, didn't I?"

"No."

"...Oh yeah." Dedede turned back to the minister, looking desperate. "Come on, can't I do anything else?"

"NOPE. BESIDES, WITH ALL OF THE RECENT PANIC CONCERNING WARIO-"

"Lord Asshole!" shouted at least three random people.

"-RIGHT, WITH LORD ASSHOLE, I FIGURED THAT THIS WOULD BE KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE. REPORT UP TO THE CASTLE ROOF AT 10:00 PM. OH, AND NO SENDING YOUR MINIONS TO DO YOUR JOB FOR YOU." The robot then flew away, throwing any other chance to change his mind out the window.

Dedede slumped into his seat, feeling a sense of dread inside of him; people, including the ones that hated his guts earlier, gave him looks of pity. Meta Knight encouragingly patted him back. "It won't be so bad. Besides, maybe this event will teach you to be responsible."

"Pfft. That will be the day." laughed Falco. Lucario and Dedede actually laughed along with him.

"Yeah... like that will ever happen." giggled a still depressed Dedede.

"Hold on, Dedede, don't they allow the people on night watch to order food to be taken up to them?" said Lucario.

"Really?" Dedede perked up.

Lucario took out a rulebook (which he kept on hand just in case another hostile takeover happens) and flips through it. "...Yes, you can order food; it's all free too!"

"Hell. Fucking. YES!" cheered the penguin, feeling cheerful about this one bright spot. Meanwhile, the Ancient Minister, having heard him, floated to the kitchen.

"HE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FOOD... GET COOKING.."

Dedede sat under the starry sky, gouging on a tray of cooked seafood. With the complimentary food, this job didn't seem too bad. Sure, it's still boring as hell and he has to stay up all night, but the food is definitely worth it.

"Hey, can you get me a drink? Thanks." Dedede said to a walkie-talkie. Half a minute later, a dumbwaiter brought a can of soda up to him. The penguin opened the can and guzzled the drink down. "Yep. This is the... life?"

He suddenly saw something strange in the night sky; a blue streak was traveling across it. The streak stopped, and the light surrounding the object dimmed. Dedede gasped in shock as he saw what had been traveling across the sky; it was a large metal disc, otherwise known as a UFO.

"Holy crap!" Dedede quickly brought up the walkie-talkie. "CODE RED! EVERYONE COME UP HERE! HURRY!" The king was panicking; he was not sure how to deal with this. He could try using his rocket hammer and hope to to god that it smashes into the UFO, but if it missed, well, good bye hammer. So, he waited for backup to arrive, and sure enough, a minute later, all of the Smashers burst through the door to the roof, armed to the teeth and alert.

"DEDEDE! WHAT IS GOING ON?" asked the Ancient Minister.

"Is it Lord Asshole? If it is, Charizard will chase him down and set him ablaze!" boasted Red.

"Guys, there's a UFO in the sky and I don't know what to do! See?" Dedede pointed to the sky; all of the Smashers had confused looks on their faces. Dedede turned to follow their gazes and he realized that he was pointing at absolutely nothing. There was a confused silence before everyone started laughing, and trust me, they weren't laughing with Dedede.

"Really? A UFO? Is that why we all came up?" giggled Peach.

"B-B-But, I saw it! This isn't funny guys!" said Dedede, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Hey, if we weren't laughing, we'd be beating you up. Be happy about that." growled Bowser.

"Dedede, are you sure it wasn't a hallucination from lack of sleep?" asked Meta Knight.

"Or did you just have too much sugar?" accompanied Lucario.

"Um... well, it was definitely there! You guys have to believe me!" pleaded Dedede. However, all of the Smashers were starting to leave, wanting to go back to sleep. The other Normals gave Dedede concerned looks before abandoning him as well; the only person up on the roof with Dedede was the Ancient Minister, and he wasn't very impressed.

"REALLY? A UFO? COME NOW, DEDEDE. I UNDERSTAND IF YOU WERE FEELING A LITTLE BORED, SO MAYBE YOU HALLUCINATED THAT TO ENTERTAIN YOURSELF. HOW ABOUT I LET YOU PLAY GAMES WHILE YOU'RE UP HERE, JUST SO YOU WON'T RESORT TO IMAGINATIONS?" said the Ancient Minister.

"I'd be fine with that, but I didn't imagine it!" shouted a now desperate Dedede. The Ancient Minister shook his head and floated back inside.

"I'LL GET YOUR 3DS FOR YOU. WHY DON'T YOU CLEAR YOUR HEAD A LITTLE AND ORDER SOME COFFEE?" offered the Minister. As he left, Dedede slumped to the floor; he scanned the sky, desperately looking for any sign of the thing he saw.

"But... it was real..."

To be continued...

Poor Dedede. Now, I'm putting up a poll, and the question is, "are you guys fine if I did writing commissions?" I'm just a high school student, and let's face it, everyone has things they want to buy, me included. I would like to see if anyone would be interested in commissioning me to write them things. I don't really have a solid plan yet, but I'd like to see your guys' opinion on this. Anyway, once again, have a Happy Thanksgiving!
