CHAPTER 12: THE END OF PROM
Magolor and everyone else left the prom. It still went on because the show must go on! But when it ended and all punch was drinked. Then Dedede had to go home and that meant having to take his date Adeleine home. She was done throwing up because she got over seeing the dead Waddle Dee body for the first time that night.
Dedede was walking with his date and was nervous because he was starting to feel like being a teenager was really good. Now he could make friends and do cool teenage activities since he couldn't due to his parents pulling him out of school and forcing him to reign Dreamland.
"Dedede, did you have a good time at the prom?" asked Adeleine concerned.
Dedede nodded in approval. "I sre am sad that Prince Fluff couldn't' come and I was scared that Bandana Dee died, but I think the food and dancing were fun. I kind of like being a teen now."
"Will you ever find a way to get back to normal?"
Dedede was nervous. I am scared Adeleine because of my snail cohort Escargoon. He says that if I cannot become an adult again, he'll receive the throne from my absence."
"I can see your dilemma," said Adeleine. "Well, we are al my house." She went inside and waved goodbye to Dedede.
Dedede smiled, but was mad at himself for not telling her his true feelings. He headed home under the starry sky.
"There you are, Sire!" said Escargoon as he finished watering the garden. He did it late because he could see the salt on the ground better and not step on it and actidently die since he was a snail.
"Yo." Replied Dedede.
"What happened at prom. Did you kiss a girl?"
"No I kissed no one. But Bandana Dee got murdered!"
Escorgoon was so scared to here this. "This is a serious problem, Sire! You just told me your friend Prince Fluff died. Now that this has happened, I'm really scared for your safety…"
"I'm glad you care Escargoon." He said, still knowing that Escargoon had a nice heart even though he was mostly a jerk most of the time. "I'm tired though so I want to go to bed."
So Dedede went to bed and then woke up in the middle of the night to see Marx sitting by the windowsill. "Marx! You're back?"
"Indeed I am. I've been hearing about the tragedies at Kirby High School," said Marx. He walked over to the bedside and handed Dedede a list of potential suspects.
"I have narrowed it down to server people," said Marx illustratively. "It can't be Adeleine, you, or Magolor. We need to find out who has a sword."
"Who's the prime candidate?" asked Dedede.
"I think its either Kirby or the new principal Susie. We need more evidence though. Meet me at the gymnasium tomorrow after clubs."
