Kirby's picnic
Chapter 6: 1+1+1 is 4-Part I
Rick was running to the entrance of the forest.
Ever so often, he tripped on the tangling branches of the undergrowth.
Then, at the end of the woods, he collapsed.
Later…
"Rick? Rick?" a familiar voice spoke.
"Kirby? Is that you?" Rick said when his vision suddenly zoomed into focus.
"Duh!" Kirby said.
"Where are we?" Rick asked, looking around.
"Outside the king's castle," Kirby said.
"But how did you get past the guards?" Rick said.
"I star-" Kirby said, cut off.
"Don't tell me you ate them…" Rick said, sighing.
"You see, one had some salt, and I ate him, and then supposed everyone else had salt, so I ate them, and they didn't have salt, so I was disappointed, and-" Kirby said, cut off again.
"Kirby…" Rick sighed, accidentally revealing the contents of his bag.
"Is that… A cake?" Kirby said, staring.
"Oh, heck," Rick said, tossing the cake at Kirby.
The pair walked inside, looking at all the doors.
"I say we go this way," Kirby said, pointing to a door.
"Ackhem…" Rick said, pointing to a door that had a sign saying, "THIS WAY TO THE THRONE ROOM!!!!"
They went through, only to find a hedge maze.
"Why does the king have all these mazes and doors?" Kirby asked.
"To keep people like us confused and trapped inside the castle until we starve to death," Rick said, sarcastically.
Kirby started screaming.
"I was being sarcastic…" Rick said, and they walked on.
