Kirby, Pikachu, and the Cardboard Box

Disclaimer: If, for some reason, you thought that I owned Super Smash Brothers, Kirby, Pikachu, or a Cardboard Box, then I feel obliged to inform you that no, I do not.

This story is strictly intended to raise a few smiles. If you notice a lack of gore, romance, or anything in between, that's because there is none. (Oh, really?)

Last time, on Kirby, Pikachu, and the Cardboard Box:
Kirby and Pikachu found a Cardboard Box. They had fun. And they enjoyed having fun, really they did. Then they slept together through the night.

Now…

The sun rose. And everyone woke up.

Oops, that's ugly. Let me try again:

Slowly, gradually, clear dawn light began to beam down from the heavens into the Smash Mansion, glowing gold and lightening even the deepest of shadowy recesses, illuminating the serene, everyday beauty of the most ordinary of objects. And everyone woke up.

Kirby and Pikachu were still huddled under the box.

Pikachu opened an eye and noticed that, even under the box, everything was slightly brighter now.

"Psst! Kirby," he whispered.

"Mmm…?" mumbled Kirby, who was lying face-down on the ground.

"It's daytime," whispered Pikachu.

"Really?" said Kirby. He slowly stood up, looked around, blinking, and then yawned. As he yawned, the box rose up about a metre into the air, hovered, and then fell back down on top of them.

"Watch the yawns," said Pikachu.

"Hey, it's morning!" said Kirby, looking around. "We survived!" He was visible ecstatic now.

"I noticed that already," said Pikachu helpfully.

"That's because you woke up before me," said Kirby. He inhaled deeply. "Ah… sweet, fresh air…"

"Now what do we do?" said Pikachu.

"We continue our trek into the caves of candy planet," replied Kirby.

"Oh, of course!" said Pikachu.

Together, they upturned the box so that it was upright again. They both hopped inside.

"So what is our magic spaceship turning into now?" said Kirby.

"Well, if we're going into caves… hmm… how about a mine car?" suggested Pikachu.

"Excellent idea, Pikachu!" said Kirby, nodding. He raised an arm and proclaimed, "We are now in our magical boxy mine car! Let's go!"

They sat in the box for a moment.

"Whee!" said Pikachu.

"Oh, right," said Kirby. "Whee!"

They both waved their arms around in the air, as their box rolled along a track which seemed more suited for a fun park than a mine shaft.

"Look out!" said Kirby, "that's a huge dip!"

They both gripped on to the edges of the box.

"Aah!" squeaked Pikachu, "I'm going to fall out!"

"I'll save you!" said Kirby, grabbing one of Pikachu's arms, and holding on tight.

They held on like their lives depended on it.

"Oh no! It's a loop-the-loop!" squealed Kirby, closing his eyes.

"Help!" screamed Pikachu, closing his eyes and gripping even tighter.

At the breakfast table, various other Smashers were, as one might expect, eating breakfast, and chatting a bit.

"Mmm… breakfast," said Yoshi, guzzling down a bowlful of Yoshi Fruit Polyehdrons.

"So true, Yoshi," said Marth. "Very profound, if I say so myself. Isn't that right, Zelda?"

"Mm-hmm," said Zelda, who was staring vacantly at a box of Donkey Kong Cocoa Bloks, not eating anything. "That's a good idea."

"You know," said Luigi, "I-a read that breakfast really is the most-a important meal of your day."

Nobody responded.

"I-a hate you all…" muttered Luigi under his breath.

"Weird feeling in head…" muttered Link, "can't remember… last night…"

"Zelda said you had accidentally suddenly died," said Ness. "I helped bring you back to life."

"Thanks… I guess…" said Link. "Hey, has anyone seen Kirby or Pikachu?"

"Funny," said Mario. "I think they were in the lounge room last-a night… I'll go check."

"Okay, thanks," said Link, as Mario stood and left.

Pikachu and Kirby lay in the box, gasping for air.

"That was too close," said Pikachu. "Real exciting, though."

"Yeah," panted Kirby.

Nobody said anything.

"Hey," said Kirby, "I'm hungry. I don't think we've eaten for a while yet."

"Yeah," said Pikachu. "How are we going to get food in we're stuck in the middle of Candy Planet?"

"Food… Candy Planet…" said Kirby. "Hmm… let me think about that…"

"I know!" said Pikachu. "Almost everything on Candy Planet is made of candy… so we just have to wait for something chewable to come, and we can eat it!"

"Great thinking!" said Kirby.

They sat there.

"What if nothing comes?" said Kirby. "Then what do we eat?"

At that moment, Mario came into the room. "There you are-a," he said.

"Aha!" said Pikachu. "I mean… hi…"

"Yes, hi, mister… alien person… candy alien…" said Kirby.

"It's breakfast, you know," said Mario. "You should-a really be eating something."

"Really?" said Kirby and Pikachu.

"Really," said Mario.

Pikachu reached out and grabbed Mario's arm, and zapped him, knocking him out.

"I'll just have a foot or something," said Pikachu. "You eat more than I do."

"'Kay," said Kirby, pulling off a shoe and tossing it to Pikachu, who started nibbling. "Hurry up and eat, then we can go."

With minimal effort, Kirby tossed Mario into his mouth and ate him.

"Let's keep on going down the mine shaft," said Pikachu. "It's going to be less steep here, and I'll eat as we go."

"Okay," said Kirby.

Still sitting in their cardboard box, they continued down.

The chapter is short, because, uh, Kirby is. Yeah.
