The Dreamland Story firstdraft

by GameTrekker

This is the original version of my Kirby epic, my own interpretation of the Kirby universe from years ago. The revised edition, written years later when I got much better at writing, will unfortunately never be completed, so I don't blame you if you want to look at this one.

3. The Leftover

Chapter 3: The Leftover

Popopo sat at home. He always avoided occasions that involved large crowds. He was a shy Dreamlander of the color pink. Popopo didn't talk much and his worst fear was having to speak in public. Popopo ate a meal and went to sleep.

After his nap, Popopo went outside to find his friends. They weren't there. In fact, nobody was "there". Dreamland seemed to be completely deserted. Popopo got worried. When had he last seen his friends? Oh, yeah. When they had said that everyone was going to Dedede's castle.

Well, "everyone" wasn't back yet. Popopo thought about this. In order to take one's afternoon nap, one must go to bed, but no one had been to their house for quite a while. Therefore, "everyone" had missed afternoon nap! This was serious.

Popopo went to King Dedede's castle on Mt. Dedede to investigate. The entire place was sealed off! No way in, and, seemingly, no way out either! "Everyone" must be trapped in there!

Now, Popopo was really freaked out and he ran all the way home. Not stopping in case he might suddenly find himself trapped in a huge crowd for all eternity.

Popopo rushed inside, stuffed himself into a pillowcase, and hid under the covers, shaking.
