Tuff* "Hey, guys! Look who's here! It's the Dream Squad!"
Tiff* "Perfect timing! We were just about to start the tea party."
[Everyone gathers around, setting up a delightful spread of snacks and tea, when suddenly, a group of bullies from a nearby galaxy barges in, eyeing Marx suspiciously.]
Bully #1* "What do we have here? Is that Marx, the so-called 'mastermind' who tried to take over Popstar?"
Marx* [Stammering] "I-I've changed! I've been working with Kirby and the others for good now!"
Bully #2* [Sneering] "Sure, and next you'll tell us King Dedede is on a diet."
The bullies laugh mockingly, causing Marx to shrink back, visibly upset.*
Kirby* [Noticing Marx's distress] "Poyo! Poyo!" *Kirby stands protectively in front of Marx.*
Cuphead* "Hey! That's enough outta you guys. Marx has been a great help to us."
Bully #3* "What's this? A little pink puffball is gonna stand up for him?"
The atmosphere thickens with tension as Kirby's anger visibly grows. Just then, Kirby does something unexpected.*
Kirby* "*POYO!*" *His voice booms much louder than anticipated, and a wave of energy radiates from him, causing the bullies to stumble back.*
Ms. Chalice* "I've never seen Kirby this angry before!"
Magolor* "It's rare, but when Kirby sees his friends hurt... well, you won't like him when he's angry."
Realizing they have underestimated Kirby and his friends, the bullies decide to retreat, muttering apologies and excuses as they quickly disappear.*
Shadow Kirby* "Looks like respecting others is a lesson they won't soon forget."
The mood lightens as Kirby turns back, his usual cheerful self, and hugs Marx reassuredly, showing that all is forgiven and forgotten.*
Adeleine* "Let's not let that ruin our day. We have a tea party to enjoy!"
[The rest of the episode focuses on the friends enjoying their tea party, laughing and sharing stories, truly highlighting the strong bonds they've formed. Marx, feeling accepted and valued, thanks everyone, especially Kirby, for standing up for him.]
Marx* "Thank you, Kirby. I don't know what I'd do without friends like you."
Kirby* "Poyo!" *He smiles, indicating that all is right in Dreamland once again.*
[The episode closes with everyone enjoying the peace of the afternoon, reinforcing the theme of friendship, courage, and standing up for what's right.]
Narrator* "And so, another day in Dreamland ends with laughter and joy, proving once again that friendship and courage can overcome any obstacle. Until next time, dear viewers."
[The screen fades to black, ending the episode on a wholesome note.]
