Gamelover41592: Who said four?

Matt (Guest)- Fair enough.

Time to jump back in the water so to speak. Let's begin.

"Yay, more water!" Owen cheered as he jumped back into the water.

"This place is definitely fitting for its name," Adeleine said. Aqua Star was covered in water, with only a few beaches here and there.

"Well, we can't just look at the landscape," Kirby declared. "We need to keep looking for the crystals!"

"Kirby's right," Ribbon added. "I can sense more this way!"

"I'm sure you'll be able to swim later Owen," Adeleine said as Dedede pulled Owen out of the water.

"Yeah, no way that some of 'em shards didn't land in the water," Dedede added.

"Yay!" Owen cheered.

"Ya know Kirbs, if ya hadn't kicked ma butt so often, I would be wondering how you are destroying things with an explosive snowman," Dedede noted as Kirby found another shard with the method Dedede had just described.

"Hey, with how often I see these things, I get creative," Kirby said with a shrug. "Plus, Owen likes them,"

"How come I'm not allowed to explode?" Owen asked.

"Because...you aren't ready," Kirby said. "Plus, you have a giant fire sword. I think you are lucky,"

"Fine," Owen whined as he crossed his arms, making sure that said giant fire sword didn't touch his body.

"Weeee!" Owen cheered as he, Dee and Kirby rode down a river on a log ride. It wasn't swimming in it, but it was still very fun.

"I see one of the shards up there!" Dee called out.

"We are gonna have to jump for it!" Kirby ordered. "On three. One, two, three!" They jumped and Owen was able to grab it.

"I got it!" Owen cheered.

"Good job, Owen," Kirby said.

"Look out!" Dee cried. The group then went down, screaming.

"I miss Rick," Owen said as he watched Kirby turn into the hamster in order to get a crystal shard.

"I see them sometimes. They never really leave their forest," Adeleine admitted. "Gooey hangs out there a lot too,"

"I think Gooey just...does things," Dedede said as he scratched the back of his head. "Don't know how much of a brain he's got in there...or even if there is one in the first place,"

"Maybe we should pay them a visit sometime," Kirby said as he came back with the shard.

"By the way, where's Meta Knight?" Dedede asked.

"He said he was training," Owen replied.

"Training for what?" Adeleine asked. "I thought he would be the first to jump at this,"

"He just said training," Owen repeated.

"You know how cryptic he likes to be," Kirby pointed out.

"Eh, fair enough," Dedede noted.

"Why are these currents so strong!?" Dee asked as he was swept away by one into another room, before getting spit back out into the room the rest of the group was in.

"This is fun!" Owen cheered as the currents tossed him around like a ragdoll. Not that he cared, as he was having too much fun.

"Let's keep moving before Owen gets pulled out of sight," Kirby noted. Having a kid really did make him more mature.

"A little late there," Dedede noted as Owen was dragged into another room, along with Ribbon and Dee.

"Owen! Get back here!" Kirby called as he swam after his son.

"ACRO? Is that you?" Dedede asked the group confronted the next "boss".

"I thought he was in Dreamland," Adeleine noted.

"Well, clearly he's here now," Kirby replied.

"Or it's his brother," Owen noted. Everyone just stared at him until Acro attacked again, causing everyone to scramble and begin attacking it was on.

"Why are all these monsters so interested in these shard thingies anyways?" Dedede asked. After beating Acro, the group had decided to go relax on the beach while they waited for the next portal to open. And so Owen could go swimming in safer waters.

"Well, the Crystal was very powerful and even just a shard can power a ship," Ribbon explained.

"So the shiny things are powerful?" Owen asked.

"Yes," Ribbon said back.

"Is that why they are so shiny?" Owen asked, causing everyone to laugh. "What?"

"Nothing," Kirby replied as he hugged Owen, causing him to hug back

"Hey, guys! Watch this!" Adeleine called out. With all her might, she tossed a rock into the sea.

"Cool!" Owen said as he picked up his own rock and threw it. It didn't go as far as Adeleine's but he was able to get it to skip a few times. Dee threw one, but it didn't go very far.

"Hmmph, let me show y'all how it's done!" Dedede said as he grabbed a stone of his own and chucked far, while also getting it to skip.

"Good job, Dedede!" Ribbon said. She threw a stone of her own, but it went the shortest distance.

"Check this out!" Kirby said as he began to wind up his arm. He closed his eyes.

"Watch out!" Dee called out. A giant wave was barrelling straight for the group.

"Everyone back up!" Adeleine said. Everyone quickly backed away, other then Kirby, who was quickly washed away.

"Ugh, I feel like I went through a blender…" Kirby groaned.

"C'mon daddy!" Owen called out as everyone rushed through the portal.

"Wait for me!" Kirby cried as he chased after the group.

Not going to lie, I really wanted to have Owen get hit by the wave too, but alas, gotta give Father and Son their shares of butt-monkey moments. Next time, we had for Neo Star! See ya then!
