Kirby and SSB isn't mine, I wish it was!

Tiff's POV

A normal day in Kappy Town, Tuff and the children playing, Kowasaki managing his restaurant, with barely edible food, Chief Book'em directing traffic, the Burgler* is in jail as usual. Nothing strange, no monsters, and oddly enough, King Dedede and Escargoon weren't taking every possible opportunity to make the Dedede's "subjects" miserable or destroy Kirby. Overall, a nice, peaceful day.

At least, for everyone else it is. You see, Kappy's are rather… slow. A giant man-eating monster could be trying to murder their children right in front of them and they'd simply stand their and talk about the weather, believe me, it's happened before. Me and the other kids are really the only one who realizes the danger until the adults pretty much have it slapped in it's face. Granted I'm the one who usually points it out for everyone to see. Still, it's a normal day for everyone, except two people. And the reason is…

"Tuff, haven't you noticed in the past three years Kirby's been disappearing for months on end?"

"What? Sorry Tiff, we're busy playing ball!"

That's right, Kirby's been hiding something, disappearing for a couple months and suddenly reappearing like nothing happened! I've asked, scolded him, pretty much done everything I could think of to get him to confess what he's been doing, but to no avail. Star Warrior or not, that's unusual, especially for Kirby. I wish I knew what he was doing? Not only that, but it always happens during the same exact time period. In the fall, at least three months or more. I, of course, realized the first day, bringing it up with Meta Knight, the only other Star Warrior in Kappy Town, we did a small investigation… we turned up empty. Even Escargoon and Dedede didn't know, granted Dedede's IQs is the size of tinfoil.

Still, five months later Kirby reappeared as his normal cheery, childish self and everything was back to normal. At least, on the outside. Meta Knight took Kirby aside as soon as he returned, they disappeared for thirty minutes and when they returned Meta Knight looked oddly intrigued. A year later, Kirby disappeared again, along with Meta Knight! This time it was for six months! A half year without Kirby or Meta Knight. This time I wasn't the only one to notice, Dedede noticed as well. He searched high and low, even called in three monsters trying to find them. Sword and Blade Knight, Meta Knight's two trusty followers quickly kept that from becoming too much of a problem. They returned and it was pretty much a repeat of last year, this time it being Dedede who talked to them, Escargoon was visiting his mother, so he wasn't there.

A year later Dedede disappeared too! Of course, the Kappy's were joyous at that, while Escargoon took over the castle and all affairs in the King's "leave of absence." Oddly enough, it was one of the best years we've had ever since Dedede first came to the throne, despite missing Kirby. Their was a pattern, I was sure of it. They were all probably going to the same place, wherever they go. And this time, I was certain I was going to find out exactly where!

This is my first story, plz R and R! No flames plz!
