Chapter 7:

once again, I don't own Kirby.

"Escargoon, what the heck are you doing in that well?" Said King Dedede. "Well you see, it went like this..." said Escargoon:

Flashback Escargoon had left Metaknight's campsite to get a vacuum cleaner so they could suck up the poultrygeists. on his way, he was really thirsty, so, naturally, when he saw the well he just had to see if the water was fit for drinking. "Aw, crap." he said when he got there, "The water is all muddy and mossy." Just when he was about to turn and leave, he decided he didn't care if the water was disgusting, even if he did get a galloping case of cholera or dysentery. So he bent down...... and discovered that the water was much lower than he thought as he pitched headlong into the smelly black water. His last thought before the flashback ended was, "Oh, great. I can't drink water someone's been swimming in." End of flashback

"King Dedede, can you reach him?" said Kirby. To which King Dedede smartly replied, "No, I can't reach him! I'm a penguin, not an orangatan!" So, now they had a problem. How to get a snail out of a well with no ropes, cranes, or ladders. Kirby got the first idea. "Maybe I could put the Wayne Newton CD to work again!" "NO!!!" said Tuff, "We don't want to send him to h*ll like we did the poultrygeists!" Then he got an idea, "Maybe we could drop rocks in the well to make the water higher!" "No, That's too dangerous." said Tiff, "If we dropped a rock wrong, we could crush or drown him, and if we dropped pebbles, we'd be here 'till they do a Pokemon clip show. I say we form a human chain!" "But there are no humans here." said King Dedede, "Oh, yeah. I forgot." said Tiff. Then a lightbulb appeared above King Dedede's head.... Then went out. "D*mn!" said King Dedede, "I knew I should've changed that bulb before we left!." Then he unscrewed the bulb, Pulled another out of his backpack, and changed the bulb. The bulb promptly lit up again. "Hey, I've got and idea!" said King Dedede, "We could drop alka-seltzer in the water and float him out!" Everyone agreed that this was a good idea. "But where are we going to find that much alka-seltzer?" said Tiff. "There's a Mexican food festival going on in one of the clearings!" said King Dedede So off they went to get the alka-seltzer.

After the 4 of them got back, They began to dump armloads of the antacid into the well. Within minutes, black foam poured over the top of the well with Escargoon on top. "Can I do that again?" said Escargoon. "NO!" everyone said in unison. and they walked merrily back to the campsite where they slept long into the morning.

***

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN...." Escargoon woke up the next morning. The smell of coffee was in the air, as was the smell of slightly burnt fish. "Everyone else must already be up." he said, and he lifted the tent flap to walk to the campfire, where fish was cooking, and everyone was talking about their adventures. "How bout we have King Dedede sing a funny song?" said Escargoon, "That's always an adventure!" King Dedede swatted him with a tent pole. "C'mon, sing a funny song!" everyone begged. So he began to sing "I Ran Over the Taco Bell Dog"

~I was driving around in old Mexico~ ~I got lost, I didn't know which way to go~ ~I was confused, It was late and I was in a fog~ ~I ran over the Taco Bell dog~ ~ I felt that smoosh and I said "Oh Mama!"~ ~My lowrider crushed that little chihuahua~ ~I prayed for forgiveness in a synagouge~ ~I ran over the Taco Bell dog~ ~If I am caught, they will put me in a cell with Twenty locks~ ~Unless I can pin it on Jack-In-The-Box~ ~I'll be whipped and beaten and then I'll be flogged~ ~ I ran over the Taco Bell dog~ ~His last words were "Yo Quero el Medico!"~ ~ I flattened that pup, to h*ll I will go~ ~I should have skipped Driving and gone for a jog~ ~I ran over the Taco Bell dog~ ~I ran over the Taco Bell dog~ ~I ran over the Taco Bell dog~

By the end of the song, everyone was laughing till they were bright red. Suddenly, King Dedede began to laugh. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" "What's so funny?" said Tiff. "I'll tell you!" said King Dedede:

Flashback King Dedede and Escargoon were both eating two jars of nuts. one of them was a jar of mixed nuts, the other was a jar of peanuts. King Dedede was eating his peanuts really fast, and eventually, they were gone. so he whips out a jar of walnuts and begins to eat them. Escargoon says, "Can I eat one of your nuts? I've never tasted them before." King Dedede nearly died laughing. End of flashback

Everyone was laughing really hard by the time the story was finished. Tiff's face was red, Tuff was out of breath, King Dedede was shaking like a wuss at a horror movie, Escargoon was blushing so red, he looked like he was having a hotflash, Kirby was rolling on the ground he was laughing so hard. They all continued to laugh like hyenas until they noticed something was in the bushes watching them. Everyone was still. so was the thing. It jumped at them from the bushes with ghost-white fur, blood red eyes, and sharp teeth to top it off! It was........ a white bunny. It looked up at the five, and with a flip of its powder-puff tail, it was gone. They all watched it leave the clearing, relieved that it hadn't been the ghost. Then they went back to their breakfast.

***

Meanwhile, Metaknight was back at his campsite eating a jar of olives for breakfast. He was wondering over whether he should go see if the Kirby gang was okay or not. It was sunny overhead, and there were birds landintg in his clearing now and then. He was just wondering what was going on back in Cappy Town, when he heard screaming coming from far away. He jumped up and ran to the noise, ready to take on the attacker.

***

Kirby and company jumped at the sound of the scream. It was coming from far off in the woods. King Dedede said, "What was that?" as they all stood up to hear the sound better. It came again, the high pitched screaming that sounded like someone was really hurt. "We gotta go save whoever that is!" said Tuff. "Right!" said Everyone else, so they dashed off into the woods to rescue the person in distress.

***

Will Kirby and company make it in time to save the person in distress? Will Metaknight know what's going on? Find out next time!

End of chapter 7

Sorry it's so short, I just wanted to reveal what happened to Escargoon.
