//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: You Guys Look Familiar... // Story: Kirby Star Allies: Friend Hearts are Magic // by The Kelduo //------------------------------// When I opened my big blue eyes after that bright flash ended, I found myself somewhere that looked really friendly from the fluffy clouds and blue sky. Then I looked down. I wasn't on the ground, which meant I was most likely falling through the air. Uh oh! I cried out in fear as I flew faster and faster towards the ground. Then I heard someone. "I've got you!" a female voice said. "...or at least your hat. Sorry!" As I got closer to the ground, I heard, "Twitchy tail!" Wait, does that mean--THUD "Hey, it looks just like a round me!" "It looks co cute! I hope it didn't get hurt." "Don't get close! It might be dangerous." "For once, egghead makes a good point." "Don't go callin' Twilight names like that, Rainbow." "Applejack's right, darling. That's just rude." "What is it?" Was I hearing right? I slowly opened my tired eyes, and I saw... colorful horses. I'd better not be seeing things. Pummeler would freak out if he saw the Mane 6 without entering a TV set with Rotom's help! "Hi!" I said, trying to act like I'd never seen them before. My comment caused the ponies to jump back. "Uh, hi," the purple Pegasus/unicorn hybrid (or alicorn), Twilight, said. "What's your name, little guy?" "Kirby!" Yeah, I'm the super tough pink puff all my friends talk about. "Hi, Kirby!" The pink Earth pony jumped forward. "I'm Pinkie Pie! I can't wait to throw a crash-into-Ponyville Party for you! We're gonna dance and play games and eat some cake and--" The orange pony with a hat, Applejack, put her hoof in Pinkie's mouth. "Whoa there, Pinkie. Maybe we should get to know him a little better first." "How do you know it's a he?" asked the light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane, Rainbow Dash. "Its pink coloring leads me to assume it's a female," said the white unicorn with a lavender mane, Rarity. "Why don't we ask it?" asked the yellow Pegasus with a pink mane, Fluttershy. The others looked at her. "Boy!" I replied. The ponies gasped. "He can understand us!" Twilight said. She stood firm. "That's it. I'm taking this creature to my castle for research and interrogation purposes. Spike, you're coming with me." Spike, the young purple dragon with green Yoshi-like bumps down his back, replied, "Sure thing, Twilight!" I'm going to be interrogated by the princess of friendship... I can't wait!
