*The sky is orange as the sun sets on the edge of a rocky cliff. Yet no one is enjoying the view. It's bright outside, much too bright as a star cuts through the heavens…*

"Faster." I pleaded to my star as another scream was cut off.

Our light's roar bounds after him. Four are after him now.

"Faster!" I keep going, pushing my star harder than I ever have before.

There's nothing left in our way. Only one is left to defy our light.

I glance back, seeing strands on top of strands of light coiling all around me. Above, under, and behind me. They're all closing in on me!

"Faster! Faster!" I will my star.

Within our grasp.

"Faster! Faster! Faster!" I plead to my star, feeling my very sight start to blur.

With you…

"COME ON!"

All will be consumed…

"It's behind me, so close. It hurts, it hurts so bad."

By our…

"Dedede, Meta Knight, anyone! This nightmare sucks!"

World of…

"Let me wake up please! I don't want to di-" *POP*

Chapter 4
Hi!

.

.

"WAH!" I scream, feeling out of breath as I sit up from bed. Huh? Bed? I look down and hug my blankie. "It is a bed! Thank you, thank you! It was just a nightmare, a horrible, yucky nightmare," I cried to myself, giving my blankie an even bigger hug.

But…

I blink a few times, looking at the end of… this blankie?

"Ehhhhhh! You're not my blankie!?" I yelp out, pushing the evil, gross blankie away. It was the opposite of my blankie. Mine was blue(like the ice), warm(not like ice but still), and had super cool stars all over it.

This one was NOT mine! It was gray (bad color), cold (like the ice but bad), and it didn't even have a single star on it! So lame!

"Wait…" I think to myself, standing on the bed to look all around the room. "Oh no! Did I sleep walk into someone's house again!? This isn't my room at all!" I panicked as I kept looking around the square, white box I was in.

"If I did… does that mean I stole someone's blankie," I thought to myself, feeling guilty as I picked up the gross blankie. "This could be someone's favorite blankie. Ah no, now I feel sad…"

"Eh, Wer ist da?" mumbled the little sleepyhead.

I looked in front of me and got super duper excited! I see a friend sized human! She was being really silly, doesn't she know that chairs are meant for sitting, not for snoozing.

Ha, I thought humans had parents to teach them that, guess I'll have to show her how sleepings really done!

I hopped down and waddled my way over to her and just when I was about to poke her awake, a lightbulb went off on top of my noggin. "Hold on a second… if she's sleeping on the chair," *GASP*, I gasped super big, putting the hard mystery to rest.

"That must mean this is her house! I need to wake her right now and say sorry!" I said loudly to myself, grabbing her leg to start shaking it. "Hey, wake up! I'm trying to say sorry!" I yelled, shaking her leg.

"Oh wait, she's probably cold. I'll get her blankie. That'll make her happy, huuuuff" I gulp up a big ton of air to float back onto the bed. I breathe out as I pick up her blankie.

"Visha, ist das du?" grumbled the sleepyhead, rubbing her eyes as she finally seemed to be waking up.

"Oh great, you're finally waking up!" I cheered as she blinked her big ol eyes. She still looked sleepy, but when she looked at me, it actually seemed to wake her up. "Hi!" I waved to her.

Strangely, she didn't smile back. Instead, she squeaked like a mouse, jumping right up onto the chair she was sleeping on. I frowned worriedly as I watched her breathe really fast as she gave me this funny look I couldn't put into words.

"That's strange," I thought to myself confused, "Did I do something wrong?"

~~~T~~~

"Of course Being Y was awake before I could be," I mentally scolded myself, calmly assessing the situation from the high ground. "Look at that thing, it's already putting on the cute act. Heh, it's almost doing as good of a job as I do when I ham it up. Though if it wasn't a potential enemy, I'd have told it that it's going too hard on the sad puppy dog face. No one's going to buy that," I smirked as I watched it attempt to trick me with its round, confused little puppy dog face.

"Alright well, since I got snuck up on, I don't know when strategic command is coming back with reinforcements, so I just need to collect myself," I say to myself, taking deep breaths as I slowly sat back down onto the chair. "This thing could attack me at any moment, so I just need to keep it busy with some small talk until the situation changes. Maybe I can find something out about this thing that'll let brass give me a damn day off."

I carefully got off the chair, standing on the ground at my full height. Meaning with Being Y standing there on the bed, we were just about at the same eye level. I steeled my nerves, holding my hands behind my back with as rigid of a posture as I could whilst I planned out what humanity's first true contact with alien life should be. "As crazed as Zettour was last night, his hypothesis that Being Y might be a part of a larger intergalactic empire does seem to hold merit. Most likely it was the brass's collective conclusion that he spouted out to me, so for now I'll take that as fact."

"Let me think… If I were a scout for an empire as large as that, it'd be either a good or bad thing to intimidate it. If it came here looking for an alliance, I can show this thing how strong we are as a nation amongst this divided world of humans. If it came here to invade and more than likely eradicate us all, intimidation might deter this thing from calling in a giant fleet of star cruisers," I nod to myself, picturing the type of star fleet that Star Trek had. "Heh, knowing Being X, I wouldn't be surprised if he summoned Being Y to wipe us all out. But I guess I don't have that many options on what to do now," I sighed, as I went into action.

And if all of humanity is riding on my introduction, I think I gave a damn good one. I first moved my right leg forward. I made sure that my step was carefully measured out, being as sure as I could be that I wasn't too close while also not being too far at the same time. This was done so I wouldn't impose too much intimidation in case this thing was secretly armed.

I then precisely moved my other leg next to mine, positioning it in a way so that my legs were as even and symmetrical as they could be. This would show that we aren't just stupid barbarians who can't even salute properly. I could feel myself start to sweat with all the concentration I was putting in, but I couldn't ruin the moment so I had to persist. And no! It definitely wasn't because I was nervous!

I then carefully moved my left arm up, focusing so as to not move it up too fast to alarm it. I chose to raise my left hand because I noticed it was situated in a way that the left arm would come off as the least opposing of the two limbs. I gritted my teeth under my lips. Keeping my form this clean was taking a lot out of me. "I hope Being Y is impressed by this because this is really hard to pull off!"

~~~K~~~

"Is she trying to poop?" I laughed to myself, watching the friend sized human move in slow motion.

"Maybe she… is? She's sweating an awful lot…" I thought, starting to worry about her.

~~~T~~~

Finally! I make sure my hand is as straight as a knife's edge as I move it to my forehead. It would probably look messy if I touched my hair instead of my forehead, so I take care to feel how low my hair is falling in front of my eyes. "And… I did it! The perfect salute!" I smiled to myself, my eyes beginning to sting as the sweat from my forehead rolled down. "And now..." I cough a bit, to prepare my Japanese for the first time in a decade.

"My name is Tanya Von Degurechaff, a Major in charge of Imperial Army 203rd Air Mage Battalion, one of the many far reaching armies of the Empire! I have many epithets but to keep it simple, you can simply call me Ace Of Aces!" I give a slight bow to the pink creature. "If you would grace my race with your name, my nation would be most gracious!" I say with the same tone that I would use if I ever met royalty.

"That's it! I totally nailed that introduction! In your face Being X!" I mentally cackled, my slight bow hiding my wide grin. Now I just had to wait for a response…

~~~K~~~

"Ooooooh, she was trying to say hi!" I finally realized, giving a sigh of relief as she took a bow. "That was certainly a weird way to say hi. No wait, I can't say that. All humans are different after all. They're… uhm, they're," I pouted trying to find the right word.

"Humph, what was that thing Ness and Lucas said about humans? Ah I got it! Ethaaa-, Ethaaaaa-, Ethaawincity? Uh oh, I think I forgot."

"But hey! At least she spoke in Dedenese! I was so worried I couldn't say hi to her! All I have to do is do that hello she did back at her."

"It's just… how did she do that weird wavey thingy again?" I thought really hard, raising my hand to my head. As I was trying to figure it out, she peeked up from her bow. "Oh mi gosh, she's waiting for me!" I panicked, thinking even harder to recall what she did.

"It was, ah like this. Wah!" I threw my hand off my head, but tripped on the bed falling over face first. I started giggling, "Gee, I can't believe I tripped like that. That's pretty embarrassing haha," I laughed to myself.

~~~T~~~

"Is it trying to insult me!?" I screamed as I watched this intergalactic scout do the worst salute I've ever seen! "Even a baby could pull off a better salute than that! Calm down, Calm Down Tanya! It's laughing, perhaps it somehow made a mistake on its part," I reasoned to myself, taking deep breaths to help calm myself down. "Not like I could enact any kind of punishment on it anyways," I grumbled as the laughing pink ball picked itself up.

"Sorrwe abouta that," apologized Being Y, speaking in it's carefully fabricated childlike voice. It's Japanese was coming out in a very thick accent that I couldn't quite place. "Whata meant to saya is, Hi! I'm Kirby!" waved the pink puffball.

"Kirby?" I muttered to myself. "Did it make it up on the spot? It sounds… strangely American?" yet all the same I extended my hand to this, 'Kirby'. "It's a wonderful pleasure to meet you… Kirby," I uttered, the new name for Being Y still feeling wrong in my mouth. "Welcome to Earth."

"Thank Yew Tanya," babbled the Kirby, using two of its nubs to shake my hand. It felt more than a little strange as the Kirby's fingerless limbs seemingly tethered to my skin like biological velcro.

"Fascinating," was all I could think up as a firm knock sounded outside. "Finally backup!" "Excuse me… Kirby, I have to step outside for a moment," I stated calmly as I ended the handshake. I began walking to the door, but I turned around as I realized I had to ask this thing one more crucial question…

"Kirby?" I asked the carefree puff ball.

~~~K~~~

"Yeah?" I said back to the stiff little human.

"Why are you here?"

"Why…?" I muttered, thinking super hard about it. "That nightmare, could it be…"

"Uhma, lost," I said kinda embarrassed.

The human kinda just nodded to that as she opened and closed the door, leaving me standing on her bed. It didn't last long as I sat back down, looking out the window at all the strange windowed blocks and toy cars moving around outside.

"I'm not sure if that nightmare was real but…" I reached my arm towards the window. "Why do I feel like I'm missing a piece of me out there, in the east?"

Raaaahhh! I'm so happy to be writing from the Kurb's POV! It's so much fun, I'm having an absolute ball!

I hope you liked it too! Make sure to, Fav, Follow, and Comment for more!

See Yeah! :)
