"Mephhhehhifiii! Mehehifii!"

"Huh? Kirby, who put that tape on your mouth again?" Tiff sighed and she placed her pen down on her desk. The little star warrior was hopping and fidgeting, desperately trying to tell her something. He had two pieces of duck tape crossed over his mouth. The last person to do that was one of her parents in order to keep the secret of fololo & folala's origin (Kirby's a baby and babies parrot). Who hastily slapped the tape on Kirby's mouth now, is a mystery.

Tiff jumped down from her chair and walked up to Kirby. "Okay, Kirby hold still. I'm going to take the tape off now." and with that, she placed one hand on the puffball's side and the other on the tape and swiftly yanked it off. Kirby shut his eyes for a moment and yelped as he touched where the tape had just been.

"Kirby, are you okay?"

He nodded and frowned from the sting. However, his eyes lit up when he remembered why he ran here.

"M-mehpwah..he CA FWIH!"

"Wha…?"

"Mmmeh-pwha kni ca fwih!" Kirby repeated with a great effort while waving his stubby little arms excitedly.

The cappy girl placed a hand on the side of her face and sighed. "I don't understand.."

The pink puffball gave a frustrated look and noticed the pen and paper on her desk. He floated up onto the chair and flipped the paper that tiff was using and had started to draw. "What are you-"

Kirby hopped back down with the drawing and gave it to Tiff. It was a drawing of meta knight with…giant bat wings? (floating?) In what appeared to be kabu canyon (it was really a scribble of kabu and some lines and circles as the trees and cliffs. Pretty good for Kirby's drawing skills).

"Are you trying to say that Meta Knight can fly?" she asked in a low voice. If Kirby really did see this, she don't want anyone to find out. Kirby skipped happily around the room chanting "Poyo!Poyo!" and tried to grab Tiff's hand and pull her out of the room. "Hold on Kirby!" she sharply whispered. She slid the drawing in her desk draw so that no one could stumble across Kirby's discovery and use it against Meta Knight. "Look, if you really saw that and want to show me, we can't let anyone else know."

Kirby silently nodded.

"But we can't look to suspicious…" She turn away to think and turned back. "I've got it! Okay, we're going to calmly walk out of the castle and then when we're out, we'll run. That way, no one will wonder where we're going." Kirby gave another serious nod and started to walk out of the room with his happy-go-lucky attitude.

The two surprisingly exited the castle without a series of nosy questions and were almost at kabu canyon. When they got there, Kirby inhaled and floated Tiff and himself down to the ancient grounds. The duo scanned the whole place but didn't find anyone there.

Tiff cupped a hand around the side of her mouth. "Meta Knight! Meta KNIGHT!" Kirby mimicked her and called "Mewh Kni!" about once or twice before yelling "POYOOO!" due to frustration. He didn't want his close friend to think that he lied to her and be mad at him!

They looked and looked, while Kabu watched unemotionally. Tiff was just about ready to quit when all of a sudden, the little star warrior happily shouted, "POYOOO!" while pointing at a tree. She ran to him and looked up. "Are you sure you saw him here?.."

Kirby puffed up and floated to a branch and ran into the brush. "No! SHOO! GO AWAY!" a familiar deep, accented voice scolded. 'That's him alright.' Tiff figured. 'Although, if Kirby's trying to pull him down, Meta Knight's never going to move!' she gain her grip on the bark and with the same effort that Kirby had taken to make a sentence, she halled herself up the tree to where the star warriors were. "Meta Knight?…"

At the sound of his name, he snapped this head towards Tiff. His eyes shone a mortified whiteand then faded back to it's normal yellowish glow. "Tiff! What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the samething."

"…"

There was an awkward silence in the air. A few moments seemed like hours until the elder Star Warrior gave in. "Kirby, did you tell anyone else about this?" The baby puffball looked up at his mentor and shook his head "no".

"Okay, Tiff. I have something I believe that I am able to trust you with…" he trailed off.

She was shocked at the Mysterious knight's openness. "Um…sure! Meta Knight, you can trust me with anything!"

"Very well then." All of a sudden, she felt her heart skip a beat. "What Kirby said was true, I do have wings." Meta Knight revealed a pair of large, purple bat wings. "However, they have not been used for many, many years. Back when I was fighting alongside my comrades in the war against Nightmare, they were only used when in grave danger or to carry medical supplies or food. Only a few knew this secret and have managed to keep it a secret up to their last breathe…"

Tiff understood what he meant in his last sentence. Since he was the only surviving veteran Star Warrior and all…but why did he still trust her with this? Not that she was going to tell anyone! Tiff felt a warm feeling inside that this usually reserved, stoic, knight actually trusted her with something so important!

Meta knight went on, "Due to their lack of use, my wings have grown weak and need conditioning so I have been coming here to practice when ever I could manage to.."slip away" from everyone. No one in Dreamland or even in the galaxy carries my secret until now. Tiff, it is very important that it stays a secret because if the King were to get wind of it, Nightmare will take interest in controlling me not to soon after. However, I have actually grown a sense of faith in you as well as Kirby these past two years. You're a very smart and mature young lady and Kirby is very loyal to you and I."

"…So in that case, would you like some help..?Training your wings to get stronger?"

"I..do not see how you would be able to, with out being able to fly your self." Meta Knight replied as his eyes flashed dark blue. "You may try."

"OH WOW YOU MEAN IT?" Tiff clasped a hand over her mouth and then removed it. "Uh, what I meant to say was, perhaps we should see how far you can get off of the ground with your wings."

Meta Knight gave a curt nod before jumping down with a graceful landing, followed by Kirby. "Ummm..Meta Knight…"

"Yes?"

The cappy girl held on to a branch and leaned as close to the edge as much as she could without falling. "I can't get down."

Meta Knight gazed up at her and held out his arms. "Jump. I'll catch you." Tiff gulped before doing so and landing safely in the blue Knight's arms. He carefully set her down on the ground.

"Thank you." Tiff got to her feet. "Okay, let's get to work!"

Author's Note: Boring start, no? Well, hopefully that'll change in the next chapter! I just had this idea that I got from other fanfics where in the Hoshi no Kaabii universe that Meta Knight uses his wings. I really liked the idea of Tiff (Fumu) and Kirby helping Meta Knight like this and hope that some people won't mind if I use this FF idea…Anywho, I hope you liked the first chapter, this won't be a oneshot!

P.S.-This story may lead to a bit (more) of MK x Tiff :3 *shot*
