Hello, internet! I am here to give you something outside of my usual wheelhouse. I am here to give you a one-shot.
I must admit, when I first started writing on here, I never saw myself doing this. I always preferred writing multi chapter stories. So why am I doing it now? Well…
As stated in the description, this one-shot is a personal gift for another user here named Stuffulkins. He/she did me a huge favor some time ago, and this is how I promised to repay their kindness. They wanted a one-shot about King Dedede trying to get back at King K. Rool for what happened in K. Rool's reveal trailer. And I am nothing if not a man of my word. So, it's time to write a one-shot!
Well, let us begin. I hope you like it, Stuffulkins. I hope the rest of you reading this like it as well.
Super Smash Bros. © Nintendo/Masahiro Sakurai
The fifth Super Smash Brothers tournament was about to begin, and in order to make it the best tournament ever, not only was Master Hand bringing back everyone who had ever competed in Smash, but he was also inviting a large number of newcomers.
Normally, Master Hand would send one of his many Miis to take care of sending out these invitations. But today, he was, somehow, unable to find a single Mii to send out this particular invitation. So, he asked King Dedede to do it instead, and the king of Dreamland reluctantly agreed. This new recruit came from Donkey Kong's world, so Master Hand asked the big ape and his little partner Diddy Kong to accompany Dedede to show him where to go to deliver this invitation. But as expected, upon arriving, the two Kongs ran off to their old house to gorge on bananas and laze off until it was time to return to the Smash Mansion.
However, Dedede sort of expected this. And since he wanted to get back at the Kongs for thoroughly beating him in a Smash match some time ago, he decided now was a good time to enact revenge. He knew the Miis would sometimes wear funny costumes when they were sent in to fight against the other Smashers. So Dedede decided to 'borrow' some of the Mii's costume pieces and disguise himself as the Kongs archenemy, who, coincidentally, was also the one he was supposed to give the Smash invite to. A giant crocodile by the name of King K. Rool.
Donkey Kong turned off his TV since he couldn't find anything good to watch. After letting out a yawn, he threw another banana in his mouth before carelessly throwing the peel behind him and scratching his butt. Meanwhile, Diddy Kong swung lazily on a tire swing. Suddenly, the entire house shook with a loud 'thud'. This caught the Kongs attention. Before they could wonder where the thud came from, another, much harder and louder thud rocked the house. Both Kongs rushed to the window to see if they could find whatever was shaking their house. All of a sudden, a large shadow cast itself over the primates. It appeared to be their mortal enemy. None other than King K. Rool.
But right then, the disguise came off, and Dedede revealed himself. Both Kongs dropped their jaws at this revelation. In turn, King Dedede began laughing hysterically at the apes.
"Heh heh ha! You dumb dirty apes shoulda seen the looks on your faces! Boy did you look dumb! I can't believe y'all thought I was actually your dumb alligator enemy!" Dedede taunted while he was laughing.
However, just as Dedede's laughter was starting to die down, an even larger figure came up behind the Dreamland king. This was the real King K. Rool. And he was not happy to see someone carelessly impersonating him. So he smacked Dedede in the back of the head as hard as he possibly could, sending the overweight penguin flying several feet away. K. Rool then turned his attention to the Kongs. The primates were so surprised to see him again that their eyes bulged through the window they were looking out of, breaking the glass. K. Rool then looked down to see a letter with his name on it and a familiar seal on the back. K. Rool knew what this meant and let out a roar in triumph over getting to compete in Smash Brothers.
K. Rool was allowed to return to the Smash Mansion with the Kongs now that he had his invitation. Donkey Kong had to carry the unconscious Dedede back with him. Upon returning, Dedede was admitted to the Medical Wing with a severe concussion. Upon awakening and being told what happened, the Dreamland monarch was seething with anger.
"I can't believe I let that stupid reptile knock me out like that! And in one hit, too! Ain't no way I'm gonna let him get away with smacking around the king like that! I'll get that dumb alligator! Somehow, someway, I'll get him!" King Dedede ranted.
As dinner time approached, Dedede hoped that some food would soothe his nerves and let him think of a good plan to get back at King K. Rool for smacking him like that. But as soon as he entered the mess hall of the Smash Mansion, he heard a number of whispers that just set him off even more.
"Look, it's Dedede. I'm surprised he got out of the medical wing so quickly after getting his butt kicked by the new guy." Fox whispered.
"That K. Rool guy must have a lot of strength if he was able to throw a fat guy like Dedede around with only one hit." Young Link responded.
"Yeah, I thought Dedede was the biggest guy in the mansion, but if he got one-shotted like a wimp by K. Rool, I guess we have a new heavyweight king." Ike said.
"I'm more surprised Dedede's not dead. Have you seen how sharp K. Rool's claws are? That blow couldn't have been pleasant." Pac-Man added.
These, alongside similar whispers the he overheard, caused Dedede's anger to grow even more. After stuffing his food down his throat, Dedede got up and stormed out of the mess hall as loudly as he could. He knew he had to get back at K. Rool for not only taking him down in one hit, but also for humiliating him and making the other Smashers trash talk him. He was used to getting back at those who crossed him by pulling pranks and ruining their stuff. But this time, he knew he had to step up his game and truly humiliate K. Rool in the worst way possible. He just didn't know how to.
Then, he got an idea. An awful idea. King Dedede got a wonderful, AWFUL, idea.
In order to pull of this idea, Dedede knew he would need some help. After writing a letter to his head Waddle Dee, asking him to mail himself to the Smash Mansion, the King of Dreamland set off in search of someone to help him with his scheme. Or rather, two someones.
"So, what-a do you think of all-a the new arrivals?" Luigi asked.
"They seem alright. I wonder what their fighting styles are like. I admit I'm most curious about that Inkling character. I can't wait to go up against her." Ness responded.
The two Smashers were making idle chatter on their way to their respective bedrooms for the evening. They, like all the other Smashers, had witnessed the arrival of all the new Smashers and found themselves curious about them. Even though they were both veterans of the first Smash tournament, neither of them got tired of seeing newcomers enter the Smash Mansion.
"Do you think we'll-a get some late arrivals like-a we did last-a tournament?" Luigi asked.
"Maybe." Ness responded. "I did overhear Master Hand mention someone called 'Joker' a number of times earlier today. I wonder if…"
"Hey, fellas!"
Luigi and Ness turned around and saw King Dedede approaching them. He had a look on his face. It was a look that Ness and Luigi had seen before. It was a look that they did not like. It was a look that meant that Dedede was planning something mischievous.
Luigi immediately ran into his bedroom and buried himself inside a large pile of pillows beside his bed that he hid in whenever he was scared. He spent more time inside this pillow castle than he cared to admit. Ness was also somewhat scared of what Dedede was about to ask them to do. Ever since the Subspace incident that had occurred several years before, the three had grown close as friends. Though, they used the word 'friend' lightly when referring to Dedede.
"I've been lookin' for y'all. You guys need to help me with a little something." Dedede said.
"No thanks. I'm… busy… for the next few weeks. Or months." Ness stated, trying to get out before he was even in.
"Yeah. I just-a want to go to sleep in-a my pillow castle, thanks." Luigi added.
"You can sleep later. Right now, you guys are gonna help me cause I need to clobber that there K. Rool!" Dedede yelled.
"Why do you need to… Wait a minute. Is this because of all those rumors about how King K. Rool smacked you and knocked you out?" Ness asked.
"You got that right! I ain't gonna let some dumb reptile make me look like a fool and get away with it!" Dedede angrily stated.
"Yeah, well, we're not really into the whole 'revenge' thing." Ness replied.
"Yeah, why should-a we help you?" Luigi asked, still inside his pillow castle.
Dedede thought for a moment, wondering how he could get these two to help him get his revenge. Suddenly, he got an idea.
"How 'bout this? Luigi, I'll go and let you have some of my best pillows to add to that there pillow fort you got. Pillows fit for a king, 'cause I am a king, and they're all yours. And Ness, I'll go and make sure no one bothers your little Lucas friend for a month. Whaddya say?" Dedede offered.
Both Smashers thought on the offer. Luigi did like adding pillows to his fort, since the bigger it was, the safer he felt. And having pillows custom made for royalty would not only add to comfort, but security. And Ness was constantly upset that the bully like Smashers such as Wario and Dark Pit would pick on his blonde friend just because of his timid nature. To not have to deal with that for a month would bring him much comfort. So, against their better judgement, they both said…
"Alright, we'll help you." Ness and Luigi said simultaneously.
"Excellent! Now listen up, 'cause here's what we're gonna do." Dedede started.
Three days later, King Dedede and his conspirators, Luigi, Ness, and a Waddle Dee that had mailed itself to the mansion on Dedede's orders, had gotten everything they needed. They had agreed to meet up in Dedede's bedroom to begin phase one of their evil plan.
"Alright. Y'all got what I asked you to bring?" Dedede asked.
In response, Ness held up a bottle labeled 'Ipecac'.
"A bottle of Ipecac, straight from Onett's drug store. I had to make up a crazy lie in order to get this without sounding suspicious, so I hope it's worth it." Ness stated.
"Nice! And what about you, green bean? You got the goods?" Dedede addressed Luigi.
"The Mushroom Kingdom's finest-a laxative and-a itching powder." Luigi said while holding up two bottles.
"Heheh ha! Imagine what all these things goin' through his system at once is gonna do to him! Alrighty, pour 'em in this here pot and let's get stirrin'!" Dedede yelled.
Ness and Luigi proceeded to pour their ingredients into a cooking pot Dedede had stolen from the Mess Hall while the Waddle Dee began stirring it all together. As it was being stirred, Luigi took a sniff of it and instantly covered his large nose while his face adopted a look of pure disgust.
"Mama mia! That-a smells awful!" Luigi said.
Ness and Dedede also took a quick mix of the concoction and quickly covered their noses as well.
"Yuck! You're not kidding! How are we even going to get this to K. Rool? As soon as he smells it, he'll get it away from him as fast as possible. I know that's what I'd do." Ness stated.
"Quit your whining! I got a plan. Waddle Dee?" Dedede said.
The Waddle Dee instantly pulled out a bottle of his own and poured it in the mix.
"What is that?" Ness asked.
"This is a special invention of us Waddle Dees. It's a type of spice that makes whatever touches in both smell and taste better than it really is. We use it quite often when making his majesty's food." The Waddle Dee explained.
"That's right. This here could make anything smell better. Even cow manure. And don't get me started on taste. That's why I have them put on all my food." Dedede added.
"I see. Well, it certainly smells better than it did a few seconds ago." Ness said while uncovering his nose.
"Anyway, don't forget the plan. One of y'all is gonna distract K. Rool at lunch today while the other pours this all over his food. Then we wait and experience the humiliation!" Dedede said before following it with a hysterical laugh.
The Waddle Dee then took an empty bottle and scooped up a small portion of the evil potion into it and put a cap on the bottle. The Waddle Dee then handed the bottle off to Luigi.
"I guess I'll-a pour this on K. Rool's food." Luigi stated as he took the bottle.
"So I guess it's up to me to distract him so he doesn't see you pouring it on." Ness added.
"That's right. Now all we gotta do is wait for lunch hour, then that dumb alligator will know he messed with the wrong king!" Dedede declared.
"I think he's more of a crocodile, actually." Ness corrected.
Dedede sent Ness a glare that said 'Do I look like I care?' Ness got the message and tried backpedaling.
"In any case, I suppose everything's in place for your revenge."
"Darn right! Now don't forget your jobs, people! I'll see y'all at lunch." Dedede said.
The group then went their separate ways until lunchtime had arrived, and everyone had gathered in the Mess Hall. As soon as Ness walked in, his eyes began scanning the large eating room, looking for King K. Rool. He found the reptilian king eating at a table in the corner surrounded by some of the other villains. He then saw Luigi sitting a few tables away, ready to do his part of the job. As soon as the two locked eyes, they nodded at each other and put the plan into motion. Ness began walking toward the corner table, ready to distract King K. Rool, but on his way, he overheard part of a conversation.
"So, what's your next fight today, Ganondorf?" Bayonetta asked.
"I am to go up against that so called goddess Palutena in two hours' time. I assure you it will be a quick match, despite her so called divine power. She shall be defeated as easily as that whelp Dedede was when he was first confronted with K. Rool." Ganondorf responded.
Ness remembered that when Dedede first enlisted his help, the Dreamland king had requested that he and Luigi stop any discussion of Dedede's humiliating encounter as soon as possible. Ness didn't like having to go so far just over petty banter, but he was a man of his word, and did as he agreed to do. It also helped that Ganondorf was a huge jerk, so he didn't feel that bad about what he was about to do.
"PK Fire." Ness whispered as quietly as he could.
Ness aimed his attack at the edge of Ganondorf's long cape, causing it to catch on fire. The young psychic then walked away as quickly as he could without arousing suspicion.
"I must agree. The power of that goddess is extremely overrated. Next time I fight her, I'll… Is something burning?" Bayonetta asked.
Ness managed to make it to the table K. Rool was sitting at just as the commotion at Ganondorf's table was getting started. Luigi took this as his cue to get closer himself. Although the green clad plumber was extremely nervous about approaching a table of villains, he was determined to get through this. If for no other reason than to get it done and put this whole thing behind him.
"Excuse me." Ness said.
All the villains turned their heads toward Ness, glaring at the boy. Ness found himself glad he had taken this part of the job. Had it been Luigi, the plumber would has promptly passed out under all the villains glaring at him. Ness was also intimidated by the glares, but held his ground.
"What do you want, pipsqueak?" Bowser boomed.
"I was just sent here with a message. For King K. Rool. From King Dedede. He wants to challenge you to a fight later today at 4:00." Ness answered.
"Bah! If that preposterous penguin wishes to challenge me, he should have done so himself! Not sent a child to do it for him." K. Rool sneered.
"Maybe he's scared of you after what you did to him for mimicking you." Wolf commented.
"So, do want me to tell him no?" Ness asked.
As Ness and the other villains continued their increasingly loud discussion, Luigi slowly tiptoed over to the table, hoping he wouldn't be noticed. By the time he made it to the table, all the table's inhabitants were still talking to Ness. Luigi slowly pulled the bottle containing Dedede's little concoction out of his pocket. He then pulled the cap off of the bottle and poured it all over King K. Rool's food. Once the bottle was empty, Luigi quickly scurried back to his original seat, glad that his part in all this was over. Ness took notice of Luigi running away with the empty bottle, and knew that he had done his part.
"Well, if that's how you feel, I'll tell Dedede. But I don't think you'll like his response." Ness said to K. Rool before walking away.
With a growl, King K. Rool returned to his food, unaware that it had been spiked. The fat crocodile picked up his plate and unceremoniously dumped its contents into his mouth. He barely even chewed it before sending it down his throat. Both Ness and Luigi saw this out of the corners of their eyes, and both gave a slight smile that their plan had worked.
After sitting next to Dedede and telling him that his plan worked, Ness watched Dedede struggle to hold in his laughter, as the Dreamland monarch didn't want to give himself away before the prank truly set in. Ness then told Dedede everything else he had heard while talking to the Kremling king. This caused Dedede to stand up and walk toward K. Rool. Partially because he wanted to yell at the croc, and partially because he wanted a front row seat when K. Rool was finally affected by his evil concoction.
"Hey!" King Dedede yelled.
"Well, you came to challenge me after all, I see." King K. Rool replied.
"Dang right I am! I ain't gonna let you get away with what you did! You 'n' me are gonna fight! Right after lunch is over!" Dedede retorted.
"I'm surprised you came here yourself, rather than make someone else do it for you again. I figured you were scared." Wolf chimed in.
"Puh-lease! That ugly ol' reptile don't scare me none!" Dedede declared.
"Well, you should be sacred." K. Rool said. "For once we meet in battle, I will… I will… ugh! My stomach. It itches! Bad! My mouth and tongue, too! And I can't scratch them all! OW! Not only does my stomach itch, but now it hurts! What did I eat?! I feel like I'm going to… going to…"
Before he could get another word out, King K. Rool quickly put one hand to his mouth to keep whatever was in it from coming out. He put his other hand to his rear for similar reasons. He ran out of the Mess Hall as quickly as he could, knocking over tables and mowing down several of his fellow Smashers in the process. K. Rool quickly fled for the nearest restroom and slammed the door shut behind him. The Ipecac and laxative were doing their jobs, and the itching power made his stomach and intestines even more uncomfortable.
Even from outside the bathroom K. Rool was in, the other Smashers were able to hear the horrid agony K. Rool was going through. All could agree that the sounds coming from inside that restroom were downright unholy. And even from several feet away, the horrid, disgusting nature of what K. Rool was going through could be smelt. Everyone made it a point to stay away from that restroom for as long as possible. It was close to an hour before K. Rool finally stepped out of that bathroom. When he did, all the other Smashers he came across looked at him in pure disgust. It took several hours for Master Hand and the Miis to make that restroom suitable for use again. Not to mention getting rid of the smell.
At the moment K. Rool fled the Mess Hall, King Dedede burst into loud and hearty laughter. He was extremely happy that his plan had worked and that K. Rool was now pained and humiliated. His laughter continued for quite some time, especially when the crocodile exited the restroom with a pained look on his face. The penguin then approached the reptile.
"So, about our after lunch battle…" Dedede started while slowly twirling his massive mallet.
Once dinner time rolled around, everyone was engaged in conversation. Much of it revolved around the ugly display given by K. Rool earlier in the day. When the crocodile himself entered the Mess Hall, everyone stared at him.
"Is that K. Rool? I'm surprised he has an appetite after that grossness he went through earlier today." Captain Falcon whispered.
"No kidding. Who knew one Smasher could create so terrible a noise just because of something he ate? Surely whatever it was couldn't have been that bad. And I don't even want to think about what it must have looked like in there." Falco added.
"Seriously. I almost threw up myself just having to hear what was going on in there." Sonic commented.
"And did you see what he looked like when he came out? Yeesh. I thought he was ugly before, but after that…wow." Little Mac chimed in.
Once K. Rool got his own food, he sat down. Only for everyone who was also at that table to quickly get up and find a seat somewhere else. No one wanted to be near him after what happened earlier today.
King Dedede was extremely satisfied with how the day had turned out. Not only had King K. Rool been hurt and humiliated like he had been, but in the Smash battle that immediately followed K. Rool's little episode, Dedede dominated the battle since K. Rool was in no state to put up a proper fight. Needless to say, Dedede was pretty happy. Luigi and Ness then came and sat next to their fat friend.
"So, you seem-a pretty happy." Luigi stated.
"Darn right I am! I got everything I wanted! I'm so happy that I might just make me a celebration feast! In fact…"
With that, Dedede quickly finished his food and left the Mess Hall and went back to his room to prepare something special for tomorrow.
The next day, Luigi and Ness entered the Mess Hall for breakfast, only to find Dedede behind the counter cooking up something of his own. Confused, the two Smashers went behind the counter themselves to talk to their friend.
"So, what's going on here?" Ness asked.
"I'm still heap glad over what happened yesterday. So I decided to whip me up a victory feast and I'm gonna pass it 'round to everyone!" Dedede shouted as he was cooking.
"Smells-a good. What is this?" Luigi asked as he sniffed a sauce that was brewing in a pot next to Dedede.
"That there is a special sauce straight from Dreamland. I'm gonna slather it all over the grub when it's ready. Y'all are gonna love it!" Dedede stated.
"I'm sure we will. Anyway, I wanted to drop this off before I forget." Ness said.
As he spoke, Ness placed a small bottle on the counter next to Dedede's sauce.
"It's an extra bottle of Ipecac that I got alongside the first one. We don't need it since your prank was a success, so what should we do with it?" Ness asked.
Dedede quickly swiped the bottle and unscrewed the cap to get a quick whiff of the stuff. He then set it back down on the counter where it was without putting the cap back on.
"Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna save that and use it later for a future prank!" Dedede declared.
Both Ness and Luigi instantly got wide eyed at this statement. They were scared of what Dedede would do with it if left to his own devices. Their looks of concern did not go unnoticed by the Dreamland king.
"Ah, quit your worrying! I ain't gonna use it on you two. I know who my friends are!" Dedede shouted.
As he spoke, Dedede promptly wrapped both Ness and Luigi in a tight hug, similar to how he did when these two saved him during the Subspace incident.
"Anyways, you both best be gettin' outta here. The grub'll be up soon. Trust me, y'all are gonna love it!" Dedede shouted.
As he spoke, Dedede spread his arms wide. Wide enough that it knocked the still open bottle of Ipecac into the sauce Dedede was making. No one noticed as the bottle's entire contents were poured and stirred into the sauce, which Dedede quickly spread onto all of his food and had handed out to everyone at the Smash Mansion who had come down for breakfast. Everyone took a seat after getting a plate of Dedede's special food. At first, everyone agreed that the food was pretty good, and this made Dedede even happier.
Unfortunately, it wasn't long before it all fell apart.
"Ugh. My stomach feels-a weird." Mario stated.
"Mine too. What was in this food Dedede made?" Zelda asked.
"I don't know, but it's making me feel worse." Snake added.
Just then, Shulk's eyes began glowing blue. This was something that happened whenever he was having a vision of the future. When his eyes stopped glowing, his face adopted a look of panic.
"Oh no." Shulk whispered.
"Is something wrong?" Asked Lucina, who was sitting next to Shulk.
"Something bad is about to happen! We need to get out of here before…"
Before Shulk was able to finish his sentence, Simon Belmont, who was sitting two tables away, promptly vomited on the floor. Shortly thereafter, Captain Falcon did the same, followed by Cloud. Then Roy did it. Then Pit. Before long, every single Smasher in the Mess Hall was barfing up their food on the floor. This was because all of Dedede's food had been spiked with the leftover Ipecac that he had unknowingly poured into the sauce he made earlier.
It took several minutes, but eventually, everyone's vomiting fit came to an end, and was replaced with everyone groaning in pain and uncomfortableness while also trying to avoid touching and stepping in the disgustingness that now coated the floor and tables of the Mess Hall.
While the rest of the Smashers tried to recover from their ordeal, Ness and Luigi made their way to King Dedede, hoping for some answers.
"Mama mia, what-a happened?" Luigi asked.
"I thought you said you wouldn't use that stuff on us." Ness groaned.
"What're y'all lookin' at me for? I didn't do it. Someone must of knocked that bottle of yours into my food. I got what I wanted after humiliating K. Rool yesterday with that gunk we put in his food and made him mess up the bathroom. I didn't put any of it in today's food. Even if I did, so what? Not like I did it on purpose, pourin' that drug of yours into the food I made. Besides, y'all are the ones that gave it to me and helped me with my prank against K. Rool." Dedede defended.
"What was that I just heard?"
King Dedede, Ness, and Luigi all went wide eyed at the sound of this voice. They slowly turned around and came face to face with none other than Master Hand. And he did not sound pleased.
"Did I just hear you say you three are not only the reason the Mess Hall is covered in puke right now, but that you also caused King K. Rool's embarrassing accident yesterday, humiliating him and causing a mess in the restroom that took hours to clean up and sanitize?" Master Hand asked.
All three Smashers remained in a state of stunned silence at having been caught. Luigi took the opportunity to jump into his pillow castle, which had, inexplicitly, shown up right next to him.
Shortly thereafter, the three guilty Smashers were made to clean up the Mess Hall as punishment for messing it up in the first place. Ness and Luigi were working on cleaning off the tables, while Dedede was made to mop the floors, which is where the lion's share of the vomit had landed. And to make matters worse, they were being supervised by none other than King K. Rool.
"It looks like you missed a spot, penguin." K. Rool said in a condescending tone.
"Quit your yappin', I'm going as fast as I can!" Dedede grumbled.
"At this rate, real penguins will learn how to fly before this fat bird finishes in here." K. Rool said to himself.
Dedede, who had overheard this comment, got even angrier at K. Rool than he already was. The Dreamland king picked up the bucket of mop water he was using and chucked it at K. Rool. With quick reflexes, K. Rool pulled out his special blunderbuss and used its vacuum function to suck up the bucket. Just a second later, K. Rool fired the bucket out of his gun, causing both the bucket and its contents, which by now was just wet vomit, to spill all over the floor and splash onto Dedede's robes.
"Looks like you'll have to start over. I wouldn't do that again unless you want another hard slap against the head." K. Rool threatened.
Dedede was about to retort, but he couldn't come up with anything to say or do that he wasn't afraid would backfire on him again. With nothing else to fall back on, he just sighed in defeat and went back to his mopping.
Well, that's it for my one-shot. What did you think Stuffulkins?
Just to answer a couple questions you may have, I based Dedede's personality off of the one he had in the Kirby anime. I'm sure some of you remember that. I always found it entertaining. Also, for those who may not know, Ipecac is an over the counter drug meant to induce vomiting. Some of you may remember it from that one Family Guy gag where several of the Griffins drank some and went into a vomiting fit that lasted over a minute. That gag is where I got the inspiration to use it in this story. Any other questions? Well leave them in the comments and I'll get to them if I can.
Now that my one-shot's done, it's time for me to go back to writing my main story. Still, I hope you all enjoyed it. Take care of yourselves and remember, never prank a crocodile, it won't end well for you. Goodbye.
