Chapter 2 Welcome to Float Islands.

Yeah for once I'm doing authors notes! For those of you who have played super star you probably know what's going to happen in this chapter right? Wrong! Float Islands is going to have a huge civilization on it, not just a collection of islands with monsters on them. So Enjoy!

…

Kirby had just taken off from Green Greens, and was once again high in the sky. Kirby marveled at the sight of the clouds. One of the clouds had formed in a circular shape giving it the appearance of soft serve ice cream. Kirby's mouth started to water at the spectacular sight. He even stopped his Warpstar to gaze upon the cloud.

Finally Kirby couldn't take it anymore, and he started to inhale the cloud. He dreamed of tasting the gargantuan ice cream cone. However upon swallowing it he soon found out that he had just inhaled tons of water. Kirby spat out the water like a fountain, and groaned in disgust. Kirby, who was still disappointed at his snack, forced his Warpstar back into accelerate, and he continued on to Float Islands.

Kirby passed several more food shaped clouds that caused him intestinal distress. Kirby however had learned his lesson, and didn't wish to inhale several gallons of water again. Kirby continued to fly until late afternoon, and he was beginning to get very tired. Kirby started to doze off mid-flight, and it would have been the end for him if he hadn't had a nightmare about inhaling clouds.

One by one every cloud as far as the eye could see was heading straight for Kirby's mouth. Kirby attempted to spit out the water the immediately filled his mouth when it made contact with the interior of Kirby, but the clouds just kept on flooding in. Kirby was overflowing with water, and he soon exploded.

"Gaaaaaahhh!" Kirby jumped up and almost fell off the Warpstar. He realized that it was just a dream, and he regained his balance. Kirby sighed, for two reasons. Relief that he hadn't really swallowed all those clouds, and in exhaustion. He had been flying for seven hours now, and if he fell asleep his Warpstar would crash… again.

Kirby continued on flying through the never ending expanse of clouds. Then he noticed how hungry he was. Kirby rubbed his stomach, longing for any source of food other than clouds. Kirby's stomach growled and he moaned for food. He started to have second thoughts about not taking any fruit from Green Greens, but no he just had to go and run through the trees again.

"How could I be so stupid?"

However instead of sulking, Kirby decided to lighten his mood.

"The more hungry I am… the more food I can eat!" Kirby smiled in triumph. So proud was he that he had finally won over his worst enemy; hunger. Kirby was now more excited than ever to arrive at Float Islands. He decided that instead of pleasurably cruising along it was time to kick it into overdrive! Kirby caused his Warpstar into over drive, and he rocketed onward to Float Islands. Kirby could barely hang on as his Warpstar blasted through the clouds at breakneck speed.

Kirby could only see the blur of clouds rush by as he was propelled through the sky. Occasionally he could feel the moisture of the clouds materialize onto his face. It brought back memories of Green Greens. The moist ground, the morning dew. Kirby felt as if he was truly there. Then his memories caused him to start losing his grasp. Luckily another memory came to mind. His near death experience with Whispy. This brought Kirby back to reality, and he strengthened his grip on The Warpstar. Kirby was luckily not that far from civilization.

The clouds started to clear away, one by one. Eventually every single cloud had been cleared away, and Kirby could view the spectacular sight before him. Below Kirby was the largest collection of islands he had ever seen. They were littered with small buildings, and several lights pierced the night sky. The lights weren't the only thing coming into Kirby's view. The smell of food wafted into the air. Kirby could recognize each and every scent. The aroma of succulent steak, finely cut, and served with several slices of ripe juicy tomatoes, Kirby's favorite. And there the sweet scent of a chocolate cake. Its smell filled Kirby's nose, and he started to salivate. It was clear that the residents of Float Islands were celebrating something.

But Kirby couldn't keep his nose, and mouth, out of it anymore. He turned his Warpstar so it was facing straight towards the ground he did a nose dive straight for one of the islands, more specifically, the island with the smell of food. Kirby once again smelled the delicious food coming from the Island, and he felt like jumping from his Warpstar and free falling. Kirby kept his cool, and continued to dive towards the island.

…

"Well let's see. I would like a couple of sardines, and four trout please." The fish stall vendor handed the islander the amount of fish he had requested, and shoved him away to handle the next customer.

"Gee it sure is busy today, but I guess that's due to the Dream Festival, just means good business for me." The vendor stopped talking, and returned to his counter to serve the next customer. This one was a woman Cappy, and she wore a large visor hat, and a violet dress.

"Oh my, such a selection!"

"Pick your choice ma'am; here at Sakana's fish stall we sell just about any form of sea food. If we don't have it, it don't exist"

"Oh my, well I'm just looking for something like… uh what's the word…. crabby!"

"Oh well I think the best thing for you would be…" The stall vendor inspected his selection in the front of the stall.

"Hmmm, oh!" The vendor had spotted a crab.

"Here it is, some fresh snow crab, straight from Orange Ocean, and this specific crab is from the reclusive Secret Sea!"

"Oh how rare, how much for it?" The vendor pondered this for a moment. A lot of other vendors around Float Islands would charge her about 1000 Drands, but he wasn't some lazy cheapskate. He wanted to be fair with his customers. He wondered for a moment, and then decided that something so rare was to be made like a gift.

"I'll give it to ya free!"

"F-f-free? Well I-I don't know what to say!"

"Don't say anything, it's the time for the festival, and gifts are to be given at these times!" The Cappy lady blushed. She turned around and giggled. Then after bowing to the vendor, she skipped down the street.

"I could have made a lot of money off that… doesn't matter though; I don't need any more money!"

The vendor had decided that it was getting late, and there were no more customers, it was time to close up shop. He gathered up all of the unsold fish, and took them into the back room to be frozen for tomorrow. The vendor stopped on his way out, and glanced at the Maxim Tomato sitting on his counter. He looked at the large black M on its side. He shivered in disgust, he hated tomatoes, Even Maxim ones. He grabbed it and shoved it in his bag.

"I wonder what I'll do with it."

Having finished closing up, he pulled down the blinds that covered his shop, and locked them in place. He started to walk home. Usually he found that looking up at the stars would make the walk go by faster, and easier. This time he noticed that something was off about the sky. Not the kind of off he had seen this morning when The Sun and Moon were clashing. One of the stars looked particularly bright that evening, and it appeared to be shining brighter every second. It even appeared to be growing!

"Whoa, what a sight! Uhhhhh…"

He had noticed that the star was indeed growing larger, and more important, it was getting closer.

"Oh what…OH MY GOSH!"

Kirby came crashing down onto the street right in front of the Vendor. The Warpstar left a huge crack in the ground.

Kirby hopped of the Warpstar and looked over at the vendor who appeared to be unconscious. Then he suddenly jumped up, startling Kirby.

"What do you think you're doing, scaring me like that?" Kirby cocked his head at the stranger. The stranger looked like Chef Kawasaki, but his skin was much more peach colored, and he didn't have the strange catlike mouth of Kawasaki.

"Well are you gonna answer me or what?" Kirby didn't answer.

"Oh so you can't talk?" Kirby frowned at this. Of course he could talk… sorta.

"Well if you can't talk, I guess that leaves me with one option, introduction. My name is Sakana… what's yours?" Kirby smiled at the chance of proving that he had some form of communication skills. Kirby's smile broadened and he said "Kirby!" in a rather childish tone.

"Oh so you can talk? Well nice to meet you Kirby. Are you here for the Dream Festival?" Kirby cocked his in confusion

"What is the Dream Festival?"

"Uh… Kirby… so…. You don't know?" Kirby shook his head

"Oh then allow me to explain! The Dream Festival celebrates the founding of Dreamland, it was about…. Two thousand years ago!"

"Oh!" Kirby said in amazement.

"Yeah-yeah and it's held in a different land of Dreamland every ten years! We have fireworks, and lights, and-and lots of gourmet food!"

"Poyo!" Kirby's mouth started to water again.

"Wow it seems as if you sound excited! Well you've missed only the first event of the Festival, and that would be the hanging of the lights! Tomorrow is the fireworks event!"

"Ha!"

"Yeah… it would be the greatest ever… but…. HE'S ruining it!" Sakana pointed his hand in the direction northeast of them. Hovering over the sky was the large airship King Dedede had escaped on when Kirby fought Whispy. Kabula was marring the beauty of the night sky.

"It came here about ten hours ago, bringing King Dedede and his greedy snail Escargoon. The place that airship hovers above is the castle of our leaders. King Lololo and Queen Lalala. I have no clue what he's up to, but considering King Dedede it's got to be bad! There are rumors that he's trying to recruit them to steal all of our food… but they're just rumors." Sakana looked over at Kirby who was shivering.

"Cold!-Cold!"

"Oh you're cold! So sorry I didn't notice! Well I guess you could just stay at my place!"

"Ya-yay!"

"Yeah we can enjoy the Festival together! I have to work tomorrow though; if you want you can help me!" Kirby smiled

"Well I'll take that as a yes! You're probably also hungry!" Then Sakana remembered the Maxim Tomato in his bag.

"Do you like Maxim Tomatoes?" Kirby's eyes widened, at the sound of his favorite food. Kirby jumped up and said

"Max-Max!" Sakana's eyes widened as well.

"Oh thank goodness now I don't have to eat it!" Sakana took out the Maxim Tomato and outstretched his hand expecting Kirby to take it. Kirby instead started to inhale, and caught Sakana by surprise.

"Oh my! Well you've certainly got an appetite!" Sakana grabbed Kirby's hand and continued down the street. They walked, and talked well mostly Sakana. Kirby mostly contributed to the conversation by saying "Poyo!" They walked quite a bit more. Sakana told Kirby about his fish stall, and more about the history of The Dream Festival. After about an hour of walking they stopped in front of a two story building.

"I live in an apartment flat, there are two beds, and one bathroom there should be enough room." Sakana opened the door for an exhausted Kirby, and closed it behind him. They headed up the stairs and into the flat. It had a small kitchen, with a living room. The beds were located in the living room. Kirby ran over and took the bed with star designs on the sheets. He pulled the bed sheets over him and closed his eyes.

"Hmmm… how eccentric." Sakana walked over to the empty bed, he climbed into it and pulled the covers over him. Sakana turned the lights off and closed his eyes.

"Kirby if you're awake… I want to tell you something… this morning. I saw the sun and moon fighting… and now…. Dreamland is in total chaos… can't you feel it… and then there's King Dedede… I don't know why but… I think you can stop all of this… and return Dreamland… to peace." Kirby responded with a loud snore, signifying that he had fallen into a deep sleep. Sakana sighed.

"Maybe my intuition….. is wrong….. but…. Maybe… it's…rig…..ht." Sakana drifted off into sleep, unaware that his intuition was completely right.

…

So what did you think? I usually work on this story every time I have free time… which is quite frequent. Sakana means fish in Japanese. Well he does sell fish. Another thing is I need a new idea for the battle with Lololo and Lalala, the original battle is too stupid and easy. Yay Lololo is pushing another block. Oh my gosh I dodged the block by jumping! Yeah not gonna work so please anybody with ideas tell me through reviews, and I can't write the next chapter without it! So stay tuned in Kirby Super Star The True Story!
