Kirby and SSB isn't mine, I wish it was!
Tiff Pov
After another three hours of 'teaching' Kirby math equations, I eventually gave up, it's obvious he's daydreaming about something. I just wish he'd tell me, though, how I'll understand him I don't know. It's actually been about thirty minutes since I stopped and he still hasn't snapped out of it. Now, normally I'm not that impatient, being one of the very few Kappys who's head is properly screwed on and alert does that to you, but the frustration of the mystery place and it's connection to Kirby is testing even my patience…
"Kirby? What are you thinking about?"
"Poyo?"
I almost giggled, Kirby's expression was so innocent and cute, it really makes you forget this is a kid that can take down monsters of all kinds on a daily basis. I wonder if there were people out their, beyond Dream Land, who did the same thing Kirby did. I shook my head, why would I be thinking something like that, I'm no dreamer. I'm an intellectual, budding young teacher, or at least I hope to be.
"Poyo, poyo poyo poyo!"
Now Kirby seemed a bit agitated, uncommon for the cheery Star Warrior. I looked over to him to see him staring at me. Realizing that I'd been ignoring him while I was the one who initially started the conversation I quickly apologized and offered to play. A smile immediately split the pink blob's face, but he shook his head in the universal "no" signal. That was even more unusual for Kirby, he'd never refuse to play any game, even the one's Dedede creates for the purpose of trapping him. He started a tirade of "poyos," as though trying to explain something to me, it sounded urgent. Unfortunately, I didn't understand, I could tell my face showed it too. With one last saddened "poyo" Kirby wondered off, heading for his house, or rather, the house Ticcori stole from him, I still don't forgive the selfish bird for that. Honestly, it's not like Kirby had anywhere else to go…
"Kirby, wait! Where ya goin'? Don't cha wanna play? We came all this way!"
"Kirby!"
Tuff and his friends were rushing down the hill, however the young Star Warrior only smiled back before retuning to his task of returning home. I suddenly realized that the sun was setting, funny how time flies when your imagination runs wild. Though, late or not, it's strange for Kirby to go home so soon, in fact, I don't think he played at all today, a first for him.
"Tiff, what's wrong with Kirby?"
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out!"
And find out I did, though not in the ways I ever expected to, indeed, as I raced after Kirby I never realized that after tomorrow I probably wouldn't be seeing Kappy Town in a long time…
*First cliffy ever made in my entire life, I have to say, I never really expected people to actually like my stories. I don't own ANYTHING but the idea…
