This will be a bunch of stories that start with the words, Ding dong. Here's the first one. Oh, yeah, the italics mean someone is thinking, or Dark is talking. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Candy Land

Ding dong

The candy store's door swung open and the cutest red-haired boy in the world poked his head in. His goal: to get a huge heart-shaped piece of chocolate for his good friend Riku.

He had been saving money for 3 weeks now in hopes of getting the chocolate for Riku, and today was The Day. Finally he had enough money!

I could have just stolen it, you know.

Daisuke ignored his alter-ego; all his attention was focused on the heart-shaped prize. Bumping into a few candy racks along the way, he marched to the counter.

"I want that!" he said, triumphantly pointing to the chocolate heart, almost as big as his head, wrapped in gold foil, with the words, "I love you," embossed on it.

And I want that! echoed Dark, pointing at something else. No one heard him.

The clerk frowned. "First, pick up all the candy you knocked over.

Daisuke snapped his fingers and Wiz popped out of his pocket. "Wiz, please go pick up the candy."

"Kyu!" The furry familiar saluted and started picking up and organizing the candy. The clerk gaped.

"Ok, now, can I have the heart now?"

The clerk dumbly nodded. He must be a sorcerer…she thought, as she stepped on a ladder and reached up for the heart. As soon as her fingers brushed the golden heart, it fell over.

"Oh no!" she screamed. And lost her balance and fell over.

Calmly, Daisuke somersaulted over the counter, caught the chocolate heart with one arm, and the stunned clerk with the other. He must be a super hero…she thought. While he proudly looked down at the clerk, the ladder wobbled, and also started to fall.

And landed on his foot.

"Owowowowowow!" Dropping everything, the young hero unheroically hopped around, clutching at his foot. Wiz immediately rushed over and saved the heart from falling, but the clerk wasn't so lucky. Thump. She fell. On the floor. Hard.

When she got up, she was furious. HE MUST BE A BAD LUCK CHARM! ARGHHHHHH! Daisuke had to clean up every corner of the candy store that he messed up.

Ooooo! Daisuke, look! Over there on the shelf to your left!

Glancing up fromthe floor he was sweeping,Daisukelooked in the said direction and shrugged. "So? It's just a bunch of Hershey Kisses…"

Hershey Kisses? Wow, they name kisses after me now? They've finally realized that ALL WOMEN BELONG TO ME! MWAHAHAHA!

Daisuke sighed and looked closer at the Hersheys. They were the type wrapped in purple foil. He picked one up and peered at the little piece of paper poking out of the pointy part.

"DARK," he read.

Yes, Dark Hershey Kisses! Say, is this Hershey person hot?

Daisuke nearly collapsed. "Hershey is a guy, Dark. Was a guy. I think he died. Listen, stop bothering me. I need to clean up."

Dark started singing a song from Barney. Clean up, clean up, everybody clean up...

Sighing, Daisuke continued sweeping the floor...

Forty fiveminutes later, he was done.

"30 thousand yen, please." That's about $250 in the USA.

"WHAT!"

"Yes. Damage fees too." The clerk smirked. She didn't like this young man, although he was very cute.

Daisuke rummaged around his pocket before coming up with about 25 thousand yen, or $212 in the USA. Uh oh.

Check your other pocket, whispered Dark. There are some "emergency funds."

Dark! You didn't! But Daisuke couldn't argue since the clerk was staring at him so viciously. He stuck his hand in the other pocket and paid up. Thank you Dark! He grabbed the huge golden heart and hugged it to his chest. Yes! Riku, here I come!
