Authors note: this is based off the Hoshii no kaabi anime, so for those of you unfamiliar with the names:
Bun -Tuff
Fumu -Tiff
Cabnet Minister Pamu -Sir Ebrum
Memu -Lady Like
the rest should all be basically the same. As the story progresses, I'll add the names at the begining of the chapter. Now... the story begins! D

Dew glistened on the grass. It was a cool, early spring morning on the continent of Pupupuland. It was still too early for the residents of the sleepy little town, Pupu Village, to be up and about. But that didn't stop one round, masked denizen of Pupupuland from waiting around undert the tree in the middle of the town square.
"Are you ready to go, Kirby?" Meta Knight turned to face the pink Star Warrior approaching him from behind, "Do you have the supplies you need packed?"
Kirby nodded and set down the round, blue sack he was carrying. The knot on top of the sack came undone and revealed everything Kirby had packed: a round, green-striped watermelon.
"Suika!" he cried as he threw his tiny arms in the air.
Meta Knight chuckled, "I'm afraid you're going to need more than that for this trip, Kirby. I guess we'll have to make a trip back to the castle."
Kirby tilted to the side, confused at what Meta Knight was trying to tell him.
"Kirby! Meta Knight! Wait!" a young, blonde-haired cappy girl called as she hurried over to the pair. She was carring a red backpack, "Kirby forgot the supplies I had packed for him last night..."
She handed the back pack to Kirby. He answered her with a short, happy "Poyo!"
She smiled at him before looking concerned at Meta Knight, "Are you sure everything is going to be safe here with out you two? I know Nightmare has been defeated... but I still can't help but feel something isn't right..."
"We will not be gone for very long, only a year," Meta Knight assured her, "But just in case, I will give you this phone. We will not be very far away, and can hurry back if there is trouble."
Meta knight handed her a yellow phone, which had a picture of his mask on the back.
"Poyo?" Kirby tilted himself, looking anxious at getting ready to leave. Meta Knight nodded and began walking away. Kirby happily jumped up and down, following the old Star Warrior.
"Good bye! Take Care, Kirby!" Fumu called out to the pair, waving. As they disapeared into the horizon, Fumu began to look downcast. Was Kirby going to be alright? She couldn't help but worry. She wondered...was this how a mother felt?
Fumu began to walk slowly back towards the castle.
This is going to be a long year... she thought sadly.

The next few days passed by uneventfully. Waddle Dees patroled the castle, not straying too much from their usual routine. Though, the atmosphere among them was quite different. They just seemed to be going through the motions... not any sense of joy or pride in their jobs... at least, a lot less than they usually had. Bun was of playing with Iro, Hohhe and Honey... though they just didn't seem to have as much fun without Kirby around. Even King Dedede seemed to be depressed about the pink puffballs absence. Fumu sighed.
Kirby... please come home soon...
Sword and Blade were the only two who carried on their duties like nothing was wrong. Though Fumu knew they must be missing Kirby, too... They were so loyal to Sir Meta Knight, though that she figured that they wanted to do their best to please him. She decided she'd ask them about it later...
--
Night was slow to come, but come it eventually did. Bun was sitting in his bedroom, bored... just like yesterday. Things just weren't the same without Kirby around. The little Star Warrior had just become so much a part of their lives that they all missed him now that he was gone, even though they knew he would be coming back. Bun made a vow to tell Kirby that as soon as he did get back.
"Yup! Kirby needs to be told that we apreciate him!" Bun said, looking out to the night sky through the window, "I wonder what those guys are up to? Training, sure... Maybe Meta Knight's teaching him how to duel properly!"
Bun jumped up and swung his arm around, mimicing the moves of an expert swords man.
"Or maybe he teachin' him how to fly his warp star or some other cool flying machine!"
Bun began to run around the room with his arms outstreched, jumping onto his bed.
"Or they're probably learning things like math... but why would Star Warriors wanna learn something like that?" Bun wondered while bouncing on his bed.

It was close to midnight and Sword and Blade were patrolling the castle, like they did every night. Everyone else who lived int he castle was sound asleep too. Nobody noticed the shadow sneaking throught the castle, opening doors and peeking in. Finally the intruder came to the apartment of Cabinet minister Pamu and his family. The shadow looked to see if anyone was coming. Seeing the coast was clear it slipped in, closing the door quietly behind. The intruder then began ransacking the place, sifting through papers, going through cabinets, drawers, jewelry boxes, even overturning couch cushions looking for something...
Not finding that something, the intruder snuck into the closest room, Fumu's. Seeing the room was occupied, the shadow began searching, only being careful to be quieter just in case the room's occupant was a light sleeper. Not bothering to put things back int their place, the intruder continued into the next room, Bun's.
The intruder must not've checked the floor, because soon after walking in, a stray toy went off, blaring and lighting up after accidentaly being kicked. The shadow cringed, ready to flee if the kid in this room were to wake up. But luckliy Bun merely grumbled and rolled over. The shadow picked up the toy and shut it off, dropping it to the floor, not worried about the noise it made as it hit. This kid could apparently sleep through a hurricane... It was good, though. No need to be careful if the kid wasn't gonna wake up. The shadow moved to the closet, tossing clothes all over the floor, dumping out boxes, and thoroughly searching their contents. Not seeing what was being sought, the intruder moved to the bed, pushing out anything underneath. Something on the nightstand glimmered. The shadow jumped up on it and picked up Meta Knights pocket knife, a gift to Bun. The shadow chuckled, obviously finding what it was looking for, not noticing the alarm that had been kicked to the floor.
The alarm of the clock went off as soon as it hit the floor. The intruder ignored it, figured that the noise probably wouldn't wake the kid. Meta Knight's knife was turned over and over, probably to make sure that it was the real thing. Bum mumbled something, then sat up in bed. The intruder snapped to attention, turning in shock to see the boy awake.
Bun opened his eyes and looked i the direction of where his alarm normally sat, seeing the nearly glowing yellow eyes of the intruder. Bun yelled in fright and fell off the other end of his bed.
"Bun? Is evrything alright?" Fumu called into the room as she sleepily made her way there. But just as she got ready to open the door, it flew open and hit her in the face, the intruder flying past at an alarmingly fast pace.
"Sis! Yell for Sword and Blade!" Bun called as he hurried to give chase to the intruder, " There's an intrud--ah!"
Bun tripped over the intruders mess.
Fumu didn't waste anytime reacting. Her nose hurt, sure, but someone had broken into their apartment. She hurried to the door, stumbling over the mess in the living room. She yanked the door open and ran into the hallway.
"Intruder! There's an intruder in the castle!" She cried. Waddle Dee were stirring from their sleep, even though they were supposed to be standing guard. Fumu ran through the halls, running into Sword and Blade. After a quick explanation of what was going on, they were off, searching the castle for the intruder. along the way, they passed many frightened Waddle Dee, who were trying to hide in corners, their spears broken. The floor was littered with kunai knives.
Wait... aren't those knifes the same ones that ninjas use? she wondered.
"Sword, Blade, I'm going to go wake everyone else in the castle up!" Fumu told them.
"Be careful then," Sword said.
"We don't know if this intruder is intending to harm anyone or not," Blade added.
Fumu nodded, then turned and ran in the opposite direction.
"Should we really let her go by herself?" Sword wondered aloud.
"She'll be fine. Besides, the intruder is going that way," Blade pointed in the direction of the scattered knives and crouching Waddle Dee.
Sword nodded and they continued to chase the intruder. They ran until they had gotten to a window at the end of the hallway.
"Aug! We lost him!" Blade cried in disgust. At that moment, a breeze came through the widow, and the wall a little ways up and to the right of the knights began to ripple a bit.
"Did you see that?" Sword asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I did," Blade replied. The two cautiously walked up to the spot where the wall had rippled. Blade made a move to grab for it when the wall moved forward at them, covering the two of them up. The intruder quickly tied a rope around the two, trapping them in the sheet, and kicked their feet to knock them off balance, then quickly hurried out the window. It was the last they would see of the mysterious intruder that night.
