Writer's Note:

Bees, a remarkable creature on the planet, one that you don't wanna mess with. It's also not fun to get buzzed or stung by a bee. Let's see how Kirby fairs when chased by one...

Kirby belongs to Nintendo and Hal Laboratory.


All was peaceful in Dream Land; it was a nice and sunny day. Squirrels gathered acorns, birds flew in the sky and insects roamed in their natural habitats. A bumblebee flew through a field of golden sunflowers, gathering pollen for its colony.

The bee landed on a sunflower and was gathering as much pollen as possible, minding its own business... until a large shadow fell over. The bee looked up and was terrified to see a huge, round pink creature with dark eyes observing the bee.

Curious yet willing to defend itself, the bee prepared its stinger and its eyes narrowed. Young Kirby's interest in this insect soon became replaced with fear when he saw the bee take flight and show its stinger, ready to attack.

"AHHHHHH!" Kirby ran for it, eyes wide with terror. BZZZZZ! The bee flew after the heroic defender of Dream Land, not keen on letting its predator get away. This bee was going to sting Kirby and would make him suffer.

Kirby made his way out of the sunflower patch and out into a grassy field, running as fast as his little feet could carry him and not bothering to look back as he knew the bee was behind him. If he stopped, the bee would catch up and the puffball would be stung like crazy.

In all his years, Kirby had heard of bees and had never been stung by one. He did see a few bees but had never gotten curious about one before, let alone try to make friends with a bee. Today, Kirby had let his curiosity get the better of him and was now being chased for it.

The bee chased Kirby through Whispy Forest, across Dedede Lake and through Grass Land, passing by trees and a group of Waddle Doos, who watched the scene with curiosity. Up above, Krako the Cloud was observing the world below when he saw Kirby running from the bee.

'Ugh, really?' The cloud thought, a bored look in its eye. Krako could not believe that Kirby was scared of just one bee, at one point, the puffball had to face his fear and confront the insect. Kirby could not run forever, everyone knew it, bees were also fast.

After countless minutes of running as fast as he could, Kirby started to feel tired and an idea came to him, he was going to eat that stupid bee. Coming to a stop, he turned around and, just as the bee was catching up, went into Kirby Inhale mode.

The puffball opened his mouth and a vacuum-like vortex appeared, sucking air into his mouth. Seeing this, the bee halted, its eyes wide with shock. The insect tried to fly away and escape, realizing the error of chasing Kirby. Try as it might, the bee could not escape.

In seconds, the bumblebee flew into Kirby's mouth and vanished along with all the pollen it gathered inside the bizarre pocket dimension. The bee was no more and Kirby was safe, he had overcome his fright of the bee.

Kirby danced a little jig happily and magically transformed into Bee Kirby as he copied the bee's form and powers, turning from pink to yellow n' black with two antennas and a stinger. Then the puffball flew off to sting some enemies and get some flowers for himself...

The End
