Chapter Summary: Shadow Kirby thinks about the color pink.

IMPORTANT: This story will be on hiatus until the end of May at most due to a lack of free time. Apologies for the wait!


Pink.

Shadow Kirby thinks about it a lot—perhaps too much—but it's always existed in the Mirror World. The color itself is simply something that's been catching his eye.

Pink is the drooping flowers, a Leap's sticky lips. It colors the plumpness of a Bronto Burt and the heart-shaped arrowhead of a Cupie. And of course, no one can forget the pink of his other half, the original. Kirby's different, his shadow knows well—rosy shades absent from his own form.

Shadow Kirby looks at his mirror self and ponders.

Would things be different if he were pink too?


The title is based off of... Well, actually nothing. It's paralleling the first drabble's title though! Oh, look at how far we've come...

When I refer to Shadow Kirby, I don't mean the one that appeared in Triple Deluxe but the one in Amazing Mirror. I actually consider them as separate characters, and I call the one from Triple Deluxe "Parallel Kirby."

Shadow Kirby is undoubtedly one of my favorite Kirby characters. Even if it was for a moment, I was super happy to see Shadow Kirby in KSA. If only he was a playable character... I need to see him with a bigger role sooner or later.

See you next time, shadows!
