I own none of the following characters, they belong to Hal lab and nintendo. The person that invented disclaimer's should go straight to hell!

Fumu and Kirby where led straight into a castle. The castle was palace-like with a pale, brown roof and brick coloured, stone walls. Inside the castle, the walls where painted the same colour as the outside of castle DeDeDe and where lined with silver framed portraits of previous rulers. The hallways where long and full of doors.

'What did he mean phantom!' Asked Fumu curiously

'I told you not to ask questions' Artrey replied 'Besides, its only a title, nothing to worry about'

'Well...'

Artrey put a hand over Fumu's mouth. 'Shut up'

They where approaching a large door when the stranger appeared again. He looked at the children 'The queen requested the phantoms presence, we will address you with her as soon as possible.' He now looked at Artrey 'Take them to room 3256 on the third floor. They can stay there'

'Yes sir' Said Artrey as he turned to a long, winding staircase.

'Poyo' Kirby whined as they finally reached the floor after about two and a half hours. They nearly collapsed as they arrived at the room.

'Here...this...is were...you...will be s...staying' Panted Artrey

Fumu and Kirby fell into the room, Kirby on top of Fumu. They scrabbled back to they're feet.

'T-thank you' said Fumu, obviously to tired to care about any thing any more. She closed the door behind them and the exsousted guard practically crawled downstairs.

Back on popstar, Bun was still looking for Kirby. 'Kirby! Kiiirby!' He called 'Where are you?'

'Bun!' His dad stood behind him 'Have you seen your sister? Its getting late and your mother and I are worried'

'No dad, have you seen Kirby anywhere?'

'No, but you should come home before your mother gets too concerned'

Bun didn't want to but knew what his mum was like when she was worried. 'Yes dad' He said and followed him back to they're room in the castle.

Once more, on Angelica's ruins, the blue knight had tucked the rock shard inside his cape and had started to head back.

Fumu and Kirby had drifted to sleep on some beds, only to be woken by the sound of laughter and loud music on the floor bellow them. Annoyed, Fumu got up to investigate. To her suprise, Kirby had not been woken up by the noise downstairs but had been by the floor creaking when she got up.

'Poyo' He muttered whilst rubbing his eyes.

'Sorry Kirby, I was woken up by all the noise. What could they be doing down there'

'Poyo' Kirby wondered

Fumu walked out of the room door.

'Poyo poy!' Kirby then ran to catch up with her.

They followed the noise down the stairs to an oak door. Fumu gently creaked it open.'Huh?'

It was a long hall covered in all sorts of colourful decorations and a tree in the middle. Everybody was smiling. It seemed to be some sort of celebration.

'What's going on?' Fumu asked, stepping a little further into the room

'Poyo poy poy' Kirby backed up

Artrey came forward. 'Don't worry about them everyone, I will take care of them.' He stepped out of the room with them

'Well little girl...'

'Fumu'

'Fumu, then. We are a different planet so our time and dates are different. On that star of yours, it was the day after valentines day, correct?'

Fumu nodded

'Well, here its christmas'

Authors note:Being nearly christmas, I thought I would write this. Its not my christmas special but its the chapter before it. Can someone please tell me how to get those faint grey lines that separate text on this site? Do they celebrate christmas in Japan? I should find that out before I write the next chapter so I know how Fumu would react. Also, I miss spelt exsousted but open office dosen't correct spelling so I gave up.
