Okay, I've been having this good idea for a fanfic and I can't wait anymore. So I'm going to do what is probably a bad idea, and work on that story and this story at the same time. So when I upload it on to this website, give a review and say which one you like better. That way, I'll know which one to focus more on. So keep your eyes peeled for Bride of the Ice King (TNBC Fanfic). You know what belongs to who. Ciao!
P.S. If later on, you don't like having Kirby in the story, let me know through a review and I'll rearrange the story and...take care of him...heh,heh.
Chapter 10: The Worst Case Sceanario
The four of them stood in a square shape with three balls in their hands. A small crowd anxiously waited for the performance to begin, so they could judge whether or not their money would be worthy of the Mayor's hat, placed to the side of their performance. Next to the hat was a sign that said "Our dear rag-doll friend lost her memories, please contact us if you know anything about her."
Then, they raised their hands in the air and Sally shouted out, "Begin!"
It went well at first. Whenever a ball was tossed, someone else would catch it. However, the whole thing was un-coordinated and it wasn't long before nine balls were tossed at the Mayor, and even though he caught each one (which earned them a fair sum of cash) he was annoyed by the gesture, and threw the balls back as hard as he could. This was surprisingly hard.
They flew at the speed of a race car, and singed Sally's hands when she caught them. Another ball flew straight past Jack's face and grazed his cheekbone, and then proceeded to hit Torako in the head.
Mischievously, Torako took the ball and tossed it about in her hands. "You're gonna get it now, shorty…" Torako mumbled.
Quickly, she threw the rage-imbedded ball back to the Mayor, hoping it would hit in the head, but it stopped about mid-way and landed…between Jack's femurs.
"Just what were you aiming for!" Jack screamed.
"I was aiming for the Mayor's head, but you got in the way!" As she said this, Torako proceeded to throw another ball, this time aiming at Jack. However, Jack ducked about a millisecond before it hit him and Sally took his place as the new target.
"Ow!" Sally began to rub her forehead so she could get rid of the throbbing pain. "Mayor, why'd you throw that at me!"
"I didn't, it was Torako!"
"It's Jack's fault for moving his big fat head!"
"Right, right, next time I'll just take the hit…and then I'll knock you out with that frying pan from last night!"
And as predicted, the worst case scenario did happen; total chaos. But fate decided to spare the four and rewarded them with tons of cash from their audience.
"Best comedy act, ever!" One man shouted.
"Ah-ha-ha-ha! My sides hurt from laughing!" Another one shouted.
Although, it wasn't until the four performers had each other in a strangle hold, that they noticed their cheering audience. And once they were out of their savage holds, their audience scattered away and went back to their own business.
The Mayor excitedly grabbed his hat and peered at the wealth inside. It was more than they expected, much more. Inside, the hat was filled to the brim with souls (little gold coins used for currency, not the spiritual drive of a living being). But there was one extra thing inside that was very strange.
It was a small, gray, round creature with oval eyes, little stubs for hands and a ghostly tail. It greeted the four with a happy noise that sounded like "Poyo!"
Torako extended one of her claws and poked the little creature, causing it to giggle a bit. "What the heck is it?" Torako said.
Sally peered into the hat and said, "Whatever it is, it is sure is ghoulishly cute!"
Then Jack took a look at it. "It looks like a character from a video game that a lot of children in my hometown play. What was it called again? Kirby?"
"No way!" Torako shouted. "It's obviously a pokeball from Pokémon! Here, I'll prove it by throwing it at the Mayor!"
"How's that going to prove anything!" The Mayor hysterically shouted.
Without paying much attention to what the Mayor had to say, Torako pulled the little round…thingy out of the hat and looked at the Mayor, with a face that made the following statement seem like pure logic (to her anyways); " Look Mayor, for as long as I've known you, I've noticed something about you. You have all the qualities of a Pokémon: You're short, you're deformed and you're abnormal. So by throwing this pokeball at you, I'm going to prove that you are a Pokémon."
Then, with all the strength in her arm, Torako hurled the little round creature towards the Mayor, but little did they know the outcome would be similar to what Torako said.
About ¾'s of the way there, the little creature opened its mouth (which was surprisingly massive) and sucked the Mayor in. The only thing left of him, were his legs dangling out of its mouth.
"See, I told you!" Torako said, practically ecstatic about what happened.
"Hey, we could do that for our next performance!" Sally said.
"Okay," Jack said, "but first, could you help me pull out the Mayor?"
Torako walked over to the pathetic sight of Jack trying to pull out the Mayor, while Sally looked at the strange creature and said "From now on, we'll call you Kirby!
