CHAPTER 8: PROM PREPARATIONS
Susie Became the new principal to lead Kirby High School. They didn't change the name because it was too authentic. Instead she was just the principal until the other teachers could find out what happened to Kirby.
"Hey, Dedede, do you think you can Susie to get me back in school?" asked Magolor. "I don't really do crimes."
Dedede considered. "I will put in the good world, magolor." He said.
Dedede walked home with his crew after school. Dedede listend to his headphones and was listening to "The Middle" by Maren Morris. He kept one headphone off to hear his friends. "You should have seen my sisters face when she got our love card, guys!" said Tuff happily. The card that the club had made yesterday was about how Tiff was such a great girl and person.
"We did a miraculous thing!" said Lololo, loud enough for a cheer.
"But thereis still one more problem. We need to find her a new partner for prom," said Bandana Dee.
Dedede read messages on his cell phone and was mad at the one Knuckle Joe sent him. "Knuckle Joe and the rest of the troublemakers want to socialise with me tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll get in trouble too."
"You probably will, ditch them!" said Tuff. Tuff was kind of uncaring about the real issues in the world.
"Maybe you and them can just talk about prom since prom is in two days," said Adeleine. "See if they have gotten dates yet."
Dedede hated the girliness about talking about love, but realised that teenage boys do that a lot so it wasn't a girly thing like he thought back in the day. "Okay, we will be kind of less bad tomorrow, I guess."
The next day, Dedede met up with Prince Fluff and Knuckle Joe by the pier to throw rocks at passing ships. It was a meddlesome behaviour, but one that dedede could get behind casually. He owned those ships as king after all.
"So are you two going to prom this week?" asked Dedede finally.
Knuckles Joe coughed in disapproval. "I am only coming because me and Prince Fluff are gonna cause trouble!"
"Do you wanna join us, Dedede? Magolor's gonna sneak in with some stink bombs at midnight," says Fluff.
Dedede swallowed hardly. "I can't go cause I haven't got a date!" he announced and his friends was shocked.
"Well, why don't you ask Tiff since you seem so adament on cheering her up with Tuff?" asked Knuckle Joe.
"I can't do that! She's the prime minister's daughter! Plus, Magolor would kill me for stealing his woman!" said Dedede angrily.
In Knuckle Joe's head, he didn't think of this. But he knew Dedede had a brain and wouldn't jump to something stupid like that. After all, they were trying to get Magolor back in school and out of homelessness.
"Did you try asking that painter in your club?" asked Fluff.
Dedede was embarrassed! "I can't ask Adeleine. She is way out of my league. She was a member of the elites in the Art Club!"
"I'm sure you can do it, Dedede," said Fluff with a sly smile. "If you can't, then what kind of king are you?"
Dedede made a stubborn grin and then ran home. He studied for tommorow's test and then went to bed after dinner. He thought about all the things he could possibly say to Adeleine about asking her to the prom. "This is hard…" he murmured freaking out.
