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.

8. That's MR Vacuum to You!

Chapter 8: That's Mr. Vacuum to You!

After a while of sitting and trying to figure out how the get some sort of power out of the star rod shard, Popopo decided to speak again.

"Ya know, Gooey," he said, "I figure I should have some sort of alias when on my travels. Something more heroic sounding than Popopo. Maybe Kakaka..."

"Naaah, that sounds stupid," replied Gooey. "No six lettered Dreamlander name is going to cut it."

"Don't insult Dreamland names!"

"You're just defending them because you've never heard any other sort of name before hearing mine. Let's try to find a name that pertains to your powers."

"Um..."

"Maybe I should come up with the name. You'll never think of anything that isn't six letters long and having a repeating sound. So, let's see... Good names have five letters, like mine... I got it! There's a brand of vacuum cleaners that I know of called Kirby! That would make a great alias."

"Kirby... I like it."

Then Kirby it is! And by the way, Kirby, help is on the way to get some power out of that shard."
