Episode 46: Dark Meta Knight Accidentally Drinks Shampoo and He is Hospitalized*

[Scene starts with Kirby, Tiff, Tuff, and the Dream Friends gathered in Meta Knight's quarters, discussing their latest adventure. The mood is light and cheerful.]

Tuff* "And then, Marx used his crazy ball attack! It was so cool!"

Marx* (grinning) "You should've seen the looks on their faces!"

[Laughter fills the room. Suddenly, Dark Meta Knight enters, looking a bit disheveled.]

Dark Meta Knight* "I require refreshment. This day has been long and filled with too much brightness."

[He walks over to a small fridge and pulls out a bottle, not paying much attention.]

Susie* "Uh, Dark Meta Knight, that's not—"

[Before she can finish her sentence, Dark Meta Knight chugs the contents of the bottle, then pauses, looking confused.]

Dark Meta Knight* "This...liquid. It is not quenching, nor tasty. What treachery is this?"

Elline* "That's because it's shampoo, not a beverage!"

Dark Meta Knight* "Shampoo?! Ridiculous! Why would shampoo be amongst refreshments?"

[Everyone exchanges bewildered looks, trying to stifle their laughter.]

Adeline* "Maybe you should pay more attention next time?"

[Suddenly, Dark Meta Knight begins to look unwell, clutching his stomach.]

Dark Meta Knight* "I... I don't feel so good."

Kirby* (worriedly) "Poyo?!"

Tiff* "We need to get him to a hospital, now!"

[The scene shifts to the group arriving at a nearby hospital, rushing Dark Meta Knight inside. The medical team takes him away on a stretcher.]

Tiff* (to the doctor) "Please, you have to help him! He accidentally drank shampoo!"

Doctor* "We'll do everything we can. Please, wait here."

[The group sits in the waiting room, visibly worried.]

Magolor* "Do you think he'll be okay?"

Ribbon* "He's strong. I'm sure he'll bounce back from this."

[Time passes, and the doctor finally returns with a smile on her face.]

Doctor* "He's going to be fine. It was a close call, but we managed to take care of it. He needs to rest, but you can see him if you'd like."

[Relief washes over the group as they're guided to Dark Meta Knight's room. He's lying in bed, looking a bit sheepish.]

Dark Meta Knight* "This is...embarrassing. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Kirby* (happily) "Poyo poyo!"

Tiff* "Just get better, okay? We all make mistakes."

Ms. Chalice* "Next time, just ask if you're not sure what something is."

Dark Meta Knight* "Yes, a lesson painfully learned."

[The group laughs, the tension finally breaking. They spend some time chatting with Dark Meta Knight, making sure he feels supported.]

Dark Meta Knight* "Thank you, my friends. Your kindness, even in my folly, means a great deal."

[As the episode ends, the group leaves the hospital, walking back home together under the stars, their spirits high from having helped a friend in need.]

Tuff* "So, who's up for some actual refreshments? I promise; no shampoo this time!"

Everyone laughs as they continue their walk, ready for whatever adventure comes next.]
