CHAPTER 4: GETTING IN TROUBLE

Lunchtime at Kirby High School:

"Yo, Dedede, I saw you get a perfect score on Mr. Curio's dumb pop quiz!" mumbled Fluff.

"I'm feeling good today, guys!" said Dedede happily. "Last night, an older kid told me he'd watch over me and make sure I'll be able to get back to my old life again!"

Knuckle Joe smiled and thought about the therapy from yesterday and how it must have saved Dedede's life. He was probably going to get some major props for his duty to the young King. Mayne a castle?

Magolor laughed at the claim though. "Deeds, everyone knows that whenever an older kid says those kinds of things, it means they're just trying to catch you off guard and make fun of you later! It happens on television programs all the time!"

Dedede make a scowl at his friend. "This guy met me personally and I could tell in his eyes that he was honest!"

Magolor hated how Dedede was so sure about evry thing. He jumped up on the table and punched Dedede's lunch into mush. Dedede was really offended by this and jumped up on the table too. The two engaged in mortal combat and used the plastic forks to swordfight.

Just then, Mr. Rick barged through the doors and saw the took boys brawling. He grabbed them and bringed them to the principal's office.

"You idiots shouldn't fight like that!" roared Mr. Rick. "You're lucky I didn't join in and give you the what's for!"

Principal Kirby spun around in his chair and faced Dedede and Magolor. He adjusted his glasses and sighed. He typed words into his computer using his keyboard and the special program spoke for him. I see you are fighting again like a bunch of ruffians… I'm gonna have to give you more detention like last week, said Kirby's program.

Dedede and Magolor made angry eyes at each other and were about to punch each other again, but Mr. Rick took their fists and put it in their own faces, knocking them out cold.

When Dedede awoke, he was at home with bucket of icy water on his head. "What happened?"

Escargoon was their waiting for him to wake up, finally being nice for once. "Oh sire… You were tossed on the curb due to fighting in the principal's office. You and Magolor got expelled from Kirby High School!"

Dedede was about to cry, but then he saw Marx emerge behind Escargoon. "But don't worry Dedede, I got you back in," said the jester-like guy.

"You did?" said Dedede happily.

"Yes, I told the principal that Magolor started it and also was involved in crime. He was trying to trick you into being a criminal like him and you were just protecting yourself from tainted morals!" told Marx about his lie.

"You lied about my friend to save me?"

"Yes, they expelled him twice now, but that's okay, I gotta look out for my little bro," Marx said with a wink eye and then ran out window.
