Hello again! Man, I wanted to get this out sooner but I was unexpectedly halted for a couple of days. Doesn't matter now though. I have to give my sincerest thanks to all of the people that viewed my first chapter (holy cow I did not expect people to see this) and to the two reviewers of my fanfiction. Thanks for taking the time to tell me that you enjoyed my work and think I did great for my first time. Let's hope this chapter is even better.

Chapter Two

Kirby comes to the rescue!

Last time we had met King Dedede, he was preparing his plan of grand theft food. And now, we are able to see that he, along with many of his loyal Waddle Dees, were sneaking off into the dead of night, skulking around in the black empty cover of the shadows. King Dedede and his elite crew of food snatchers tiptoed to all of the farms and markets scattered over Dreamland. No piece of edible delight was to be mistaken. Every apple, banana, melon, tomato, meat and just about any piece of food that you could think of. And, like the Waddle Dees had correctly guessed, no one in Dreamland had spotted them at all. King Dedede, after taking some candy from a baby, rallied all of his troops together in one spot and counted up all the food that were successfully stolen. The rustling noise that could be heard of the bags containing the edible treats were music to his ears.

"498, 499, 500! YAHOO! That's 500 pieces of food that Dreamland had hidden away from our grasp! Those ungrateful jerks residing in Dreamland had all this food and didn't even bother giving it to me? I refuse to believe it!"

When King Dedede spoke, it was in quite the mellow and happy mood, at least when contrasted to what his topic of conversation was actually about. The King really should have been mad but how could he? He was now in possession of all this food!

"I have to give credit where credit is due though."

King Dedede then started speaking directly to all of his minions that accompanied him on his food snatching quest. He held his arms out in a wide gesture with a smile on his face. The Waddle Dees could hardly believe it. Were their great and majestic King about to praise them?!

"All of you simple-minded, scatter-brained palookas are actually above average thieves. For a couple of nitwits like yourselves...meh."

All of the Waddle Dees started to do a variety of random things that even the King couldn't start to describe. Some Waddle Dees were hugging each other out of sheer joy, a couple were actually on the floor crying due to finally receiving praise from their benevolent ruler. King Dedede swore that he even heard two Waddle Dees confess their love for one another. It was anarchy! Anarchy! King Dedede tried to get their attention but failed. Now he was furious. With a sudden drop of his hammer causing an earthquake across Dreamland, the Waddle Dees all turned slowly to the blue penguin filled with anger. Then he spoke. Loudly.

"ALL OF YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING LACKEYS BETTER PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER OR SO HELP ME I WILL-"

But then King Dedede was interrupted when one of the residents of Dreamland stepped outside his house. He was sleeping peacefully until he was awoken by all the noise happening. He only wanted some sleep. But instead he found the sight of his mean-spirited King yelling at his cronies that blindly followed him. This confused him. But what he saw next was about to shock him to his very soul. Bags upon bags of food that piled up against King Dedede and the Waddle Dees. And all of the food had belonged to the people of Dreamland. Pointing his finger at the group before him, he yelled out loud so that all of Dreamland could hear him.

"STOP! THIEF! Bring that food back to where it belongs!"

King Dedede smugly replied back.

"Certainly! I can do that right now..."

So King Dedede held true to his word and made a mad dash towards his castle where he felt the food had rightly belonged. This sudden escape made all the Waddle Dees panic and make a run for the hills. The Dreamlander that had witnessed all this felt it only right to run to the middle of Dreamland and tell everyone the news.

"Everybody! King Dedede has stolen all of our food! I repeat, King Dedede has took every piece of food in Dreamland!"

Suddenly, all of the houses in town lit up and people emerged left, right and centre. All except for one sound sleeper. Who has pink.

The morning sun rose and quickly enveloped Dreamland in it's light. It was a beautiful day today. Birds were chirping without a care in the world and flowers were blooming with such energy. On days like these, Kirby would often wake up early and play outside on the grassy hills. But when Kirby had finally awakened from his peaceful slumber and skipped outside his house and into Dreamland, what he saw was not what he was expecting at all. All of the residents of Dreamland were gathered in one big area, looking and sounding quite distressed. Kirby got curious as to what was causing this much of a commotion. He asked one of the calmer looking civilians.

"Poyo?" (What's all this ruckus about?)

The civilian responded back to Kirby, a little startled that not even he knew what was going on.

"Oh! It's terrible, Kirby! King Dedede stole all of the food in Dreamland for himself!"

He interrupted himself though as he was bursting into tears a little moment after he said his statement.

"What are we to do? What CAN we do?!"

Kirby was about to comfort the poor broken down Dreamlander when he heard the uproars of everybody else in the area. All of the people of Dreamland were to starve if this problem wasn't sorted out soon. But who could dare stand up to nasty King Dedede? Kirby wanted to help but he felt like he would only get in the way. The residents of Dreamland weren't exactly making it a secret that they thought that Kirby was a nuisance. Kirby let his mind wander off on it's own.

(What could I contribute to the cause... I'd only mess things up...)

Kirby sighed depressingly as he walked back to his home...only to see that all the food was being stolen from it by a group of Waddle Dees! This made Kirby mad. He shouted in order to get the attention of the food snatchers.

"Poyo! POYO!" (Hey! Give me back my maximum tomato! NOW!)

It was at around this point that the entire population of Dreamland had all gathered to see Kirby spot the Waddle Dees stealing his favourite food. And what they saw next they could hardly believe with their eyes. Kirby, filled with rage, began to open his mouth and inhale some air. Only this little inhale turned into what could be basically summed up as a mini tornado with incredible force. The Waddle Dees realized that they were starting to run backwards towards Kirby. Scared about what would happen if they reached Kirby's mouth, they ran for their lives. But Kirby was able to suck them up in his body. Kirby then turned around from where his house was and spat them into a nearby river. They landed in it with a massive splash and began to swim away, back to Castle Dedede, to inform their wise ruler about this catastrophe. With a confident nod of his head and a satisfied expression etched onto his face, Kirby went to face the residents of Dreamland, who were staring at him in disbelief. Many of them had their mouths so wide open that they could catch flies in them. Feeling the awkward tension, Kirby spoke up.

"Hiiii! Hmm...poyo? Poyo po poyo!" (Hey everybody, erm... do you think that I could help? I promise to stop that Dedede and return your food back!)

Almost immediately, all the residents of Dreamland were back in an uproar. But this time not of worry, but of relief. The entire crowd was cheering and holding Kirby high above them like he was a hero to them. Well, as we find out, he soon will be.

"Kirby! Kirby! Kirby!"

Kirby himself couldn't help but tear up at hearing his name chanted. It was out of pure joy and happiness that they were calling his name, not out of sheer annoyance. Kirby had a feeling that all of this excitement meant that he was allowed to recover back the missing food. Kirby leapt off the crowd carrying him and landed safely back on the ground. Then he ran. He ran like he never did before towards Castle Dedede.

This was the beginning of Kirby's marvellous journey. This was Kirby's first tale as to how he trounced King Dedede and brought back the missing food to Dreamland. This was Kirby's first time meeting new friends and enemies that would become a part of his life. And, this was Kirby's first step into becoming the super tough pink puff that would protect Planet Popstar.

This was Kirby's Dreamland!

End of Chapter Two

Like before, if you enjoyed what you read or not, do not hesitate to leave a review telling me what you think. If you did enjoy this chapter, consider following the story! Also, at the end of each chapter, I will respond to your reviews down below. Starting now!

KirbyPwnz1234 - Thank you for the kind words! I felt like writing a story for the first game since I could follow a loose thread of a plot but also add in my interpretations of different events. For example, how people found out that King Dedede stole the food. I hope to live up to your expectations in the future!

Emiliano733 - Thanks for taking notice of my story! I never really thought that I wrote in a certain style before. I was just told that you had to be descriptive when writing a story. Also, Kirby's past, while not fully diagnosed in this story, will be decipherable if you read between the lines. (Did you notice how - 'It was out of pure joy and happiness that they were calling his name, not out of sheer annoyance.' - hints that Kirby was not accepted into Dreamland at first? I bet you did, because you're probably smart like that!)

Make sure to stay tuned for the next chapter. Bye!
