"Each day brings hazy love," Meta Knight said to himself. "Now I wonder where Kirby is. "You had better hurry," said Jecra following close behind. "Why," replied Meta Knight, "I don't have to start until tomorrow. You said five days. That means five whole days!" "Not quite... The day you lost the bet counts as the first day." "But it's already four o'clock!" "Not my problem." Meta Knight gave Jecra an evil glare. "You really like torchuring me, don't you?" Jecra laughed. "Isn't it obvious?"
Meta Knight decided the best place to look first is Kirby's house. After all, Kirby usually relaxed more in the afternoon. After gliding there, with Jecra struggling to keep up, he stood firmly at the front door. "You're going to knock, right?" suggested Jecra. "I want to make a good impression. Hold on a second." The fancy knight made sure his mask and shoulder covers were shiny. He even made sure his eyes weren't dry. After spending minutes standing at the front door, he finally knocked on the round thing. Almost immediately, a pink puffball answered. As the door swung open, Jecra hid behind a bush. "He he, I saw what you were doing," said Kirby, followed by a giggle. "You don't come very often." "Yeah, well, um..." Meta Knight was stuttering. "I was wondering... if I could stay a while... and have dinner... maybe spend the night." "Sure," Kirby happily replied.
"Great..." Jecra said to himself. "Now Mety here's making me camp in Puffball's front yard. After Meta Knight stepped into the house, he was surprised how small it was. Then he noticed the fireplace. "He he, how romantic," he thought to himself as he pictured burning Jecra alive in it. "So what's for dinner?" asked Meta Knight trying to sound as casual as possible. Kirby stated, "well, at first I was going to make some noodle soup. But rice sounds good also. What if I combined them?" "That sounds great," said Meta Knight trying to look for a place to sit down. "Oh, you can just sit on my bed." So he did.
A minute later, Kirby sat down right next to him. "So how have you been?" the eager puffball asked. "Oh I've been fine, nothing too out of the ordinary." Meta Knight started getting nervous. He noticed an increase of sweat coming out of his pours. "Oh, do you have a fever?" Meta Knight, being even more nervous, replied, "yes, I think some of that rice noodle soup would help out." "Okay, I'll be back soon." "Wait! Where do you get your food?" Kirby gave a confused look. "I steal it from the neighbors, of course." With that, Kirby was off. Meta Knight leaned back and laid down on Kirby's bed. Moments later, he fell asleep.
