Okay, Twilight wanted me to go and make myself a friend (the right way), so that's what I chose to do. I looked throughout the square in search of a good pony to befriend. Hmm... King Dedede might want to meet Bulk Biceps... Zecora's kinda mysterious like Meta Knight... But what about me? I mean, I've got Pinkie Pie, but we're already friends. Who out there that isn't basically a pony version of me will like me as a friend?
"Are you okay, Kirby?" Man, even I didn't know Fluttershy was so good at sneaking up on people. "You look kind of lonely."
"Poyo..."
"Don't worry, little guy. I'm here for you." I looked up and smiled at Fluttershy. "Let's go to my place so you can meet my animal pals."
"Poyo!" I jumped on Fluttershy's back, surprising her.
"Oh! You're... actually kind of light."
Heh, it's easy for me to be thought of as heavy when you think about my appetite. "Poyo?"
"I meant that in a good way. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings."
I gave Fluttershy a big hug before pointing in the direction of her home.
"You're right, Kirby. It's in the past, and we should be moving forward. So, let's go!"
We found ourselves in Fluttershy's innocent little cottage. The only one who didn't seem very happy about me being there was a little white bunny. Angel Bunny. "Don't worry about Angel Bunny, little guy. He just isn't used to strangers being here. Say, why don't I fix some tea to get you settled in?"
I nodded.
"Okay. Give me just a minute." Fluttershy went over to the cabinets to get some tea, giving me some time to have a look around.
The cottage was so nice and peaceful. There wasn't too much clutter, and it was small, like my own home back in Dream Land. And the view from the window made me right at home...
"Kirby, your tea's ready." Fluttershy poured some tea into a little cup and gave it to me.
"Poyo!" I said thankfully. I took a sip, and--huh? Something happened to me. Suddenly, I leapt up and flipped in the air. Could it be happening? I became surrounded by a tornado of something green, which threw me all around before disappearing. When it was gone, I had a hat made of leaves, with a green gem on the front. What was in that tea?
Angel grabbed the box that held the tea and looked at it, then he showed us the front. It had a leafy theme. No wonder I got the Leaf Ability!
Fluttershy grinned from ear to ear. "You look so cute in that hat, Kirby! Do you always get a hat when you eat something?"
"Abilities!" I only got a hat if what I ate gave me an Ability, like Leaf.
"So you get abilities from eating certain things?"
I nodded.
"That's interesting. What can this Leaf Ability of yours do?"
We walked outside so I could show her. I shot a few leaves around and spun, creating a leaf tornado. I then shot some leaves in the distance, hitting some clouds far away. After that, I hid in a leaf pile.
"Your Leaf Ability is pretty neat. I like it a lot!" Fluttershy hadn't seen anything yet.
