The confrontation

chapter 4 : moving on

And so Kirby, Tiff and Tuff went off to see if they could accompany Kirby on his quest. Although they could go anywhere in the vicinity of kappy town with out question this could be over all of

Dreamland and they wouldn't want to worry them.

"Do you think that they will let us go sis?" Tuff asked for the one millionth time. And quite frankly Tiff was getting annoyed with it.

"Like I said last time, if we explain ourselves well then they will at the very least consider it. That is all we can hope for." Tiff had basically gotten this etched into her brain because she had to

say it every two seconds. Aside from that she found herself worried.

If her parents let her and her brother go then who knows how long it could be until they would see kappy town again. She was deeply troubled by this thought.

Kirby on the other hand was thinking of how glad Meta Knight would be to see that his fellow star warrior had come to his rescue. He was not sure why he had suddenly thought of all the praise he would(hopefully)get from the well trained veteran. Yet he couldn't keep the thoughts away, it was like how a son yearns for a fathers approval. Kirby didn't have these thoughts pass through his squishy pink head because he hadn't had a father.

"So Kirby are we going to see Kabu before we leave? He could probably help us a lot, and we will need the warp star for the journey." as Tiff said this Kirby realized that Kabu was physic so if any one would know where the Storm Raiders had taken Meta Knight then Kabu would be the best shot. Kirby nodded vigorously and sounded excited about having a lead to finding Meta Knight so Tiff was happy to say she brightened her friends mood by making the search easier.

They had reached the door and were about to open it when Tiff and Tuff's father opened the door.

"Thank heavens that you kids are all right we were so worried." he exclaimed and gave his kid's a gigantic bear hug. "When you didn't come home while the castle was attacked we had started to fear the worst had happened, I am so glad we were wrong."

"yeah dad were fine, now will you pleas let us go so we can breath." Tiff had said as she was nearly suffocating and her father let her and her brother go said a quick apology and went to get their mother who was in her room, worried sick.

"Well if they are this excited to see us then it will probably be a lot harder to get them to let us go." said Tuff in a tone of disappointment. It was obvious to both Kirby and Tiff that he really wanted in in this adventure.

A short time after this Tiff and Tuff's parents came back into the room and sat down wanting to hear an explanation for why they didn't come home imidiately.

"Well we where going to come home but something had happened, Meta Knight got grabbed by the people who attacked the castle, we went with Kirby to his house to see what had happened up at the air ship." explained Tiff, she was dreading telling her parent's that they wanted to go on an expedition for who knows how long.

"After that Kirby got a letter from the king and we decided to go with him to make sure it was not a trap. Dedede wanted Kirby to find Meta Knight for him." Tiff was absolutely dreading what she or Tuff would say next, luckily her parents started talking at this.

"So the King actually asked something of Kirby other than him to leave the town. Well now I know that this must have been a dream." said Tiff and Tuff's father "Wouldn't you agree dear?" he then asked his wife

"Why yes that sound unbelievable at the least." replied the mother. "But it look's like our children still have things to say."

At this Tiff and Tuff looked at each other with a questioning look on their faces. Which of them would bring up the fact that they would like to accompany Kirby on his search.

It was silently agreed that Tuff would tell this portion of the story. And so he began in the most expected way of him to act. The way that made the choice of who would ask all the more easy to decide.

"So can we go with Kirby or can't we?" he said in the most normal voice possible, as if they had already been discussing the topic for several day's. At this their parents looked at them with wide eyed horror, they had just affirmed the fact that their children had indeed been alive. And they wanted to know if they could go travel across possibly the whole of Dreamland.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT!" they yelled in perfect unison. It had been obvious that they would say this but the way they did it surprised them. It was as if they thought they thought that Tiff and Tuff wanted to runaway or move out and live independently. Which was completely unacceptable at their age.

"Why can't we go help our friend. That seems completely unfair!" Tiff had gotten very angry at her parents when she saw how little trust they had in her and her brother. "Why can't you trust that we will come back when we find Meta Knight." Tuff had said in a defensive tone thinking exactly the same thing as his sister.

"You two are just children, you don't know how the rest of the world works. Dreamland can be a very dangerous place." Said the pairs father. "This is the end of the discussion we will not allow you to leave on such a potentially dangerous expedition even with the young star warrior." and like he had said they were not allowed to bring up the conversation at all after that. They were told to say goodbye to Kirby and to got to their rooms. They could see Kirby at any point before the trip was to start, but once he was scheduled to head out that would be the last sight of their friend for a possibly long time. Tiff and Tuff were extremely upset about this.

Later that night while Tiff was still awake in her bed she thought up a plan for how they could sneak out on this journey to be with Kirby. She had known Tuff had went to bed really angry but he was still really tiered and had probably already went to bed. She decided to tell him and Kirby tomorrow. With that last thought on her mind she drifted off into the land of dreams.

A/N: so for one sorry for not updating this in a long time for any one reading this story. For any one confused by previous chapters I had meant for all this to happen over the course of one day and night. All chapters before this to this point. If you see any thing wrong with something please tell me. Hope you enjoyed this part.

End long $$ authors note.(for my standards.)
