A/N: I guess this is another one of my ridiculously short one-shots... I stumbled across it recently, having written it nearly a year ago and completely forgotten about it. This is was originally a one-shot that went with an old story of mine, the "Accident." - (Hence the references to Tabuu: this was a Brawl story). However after that series was discontinued, this simplistic piece never got posted. (Along with countless chapters... -_-) Basically just Meta Knight thinking before he takes over Dreamland. Hope you enjoy, despite it's shortness and relative... pointlessness. Pardon for the less-impressive writing. It's not too bad, nevertheless. Least I didn't think so XD

Pupupu Village was alive with activity. An average day in Dreamland, it was bright and sunny, even in late afternoon, but yet not uncomfortably hot. Cappy children that were not glued to their televisions rushed up and down main street, laughing and wrestling playfully with each other. Mothers watched affectionately as they went about their shopping duties, and Cappy's of all ages waved and greeted each other, frequently stopping for idle chat along the way. The jaded town moved about its business gradually, as was usual. The sun was slowly making its way across the sky, and all the while, I stood at a distance, watching the activity with critical yellow eyes. I eluded the harsh sun rays and attention of the Cappy's by standing in the shadows of Kawaski's shop. Being a midnight blue puffball with a purple cape, I was well-concealed in the darkness, and had remained thankfully unnoticed by passer-biers.

Do not get me wrong; I was not here for any twisted purposes or demented intent. I would never even consider sadistic actions like that, and would be insulted if someone even suggested it about me. No, I was here to observe the town I had seen many times before. This single time was unique. By midnight tonight, the citizens of this town would be under my rule. There would be switched loyalty tonight; my true intentions would be revealed at last. The corrupt rule the Cappy's were under now would collapse beneath my power. I was eager for my plans to finally be carried out, but still I waited. After all, I had been waiting for years. I could sit out for a few more hours.

Sunset would be the ideal time to execute my plan; the greedy king, Dedede, would be at his castle, and the citizens all safe in their homes. I wanted to keep the citizens involvement in this to bare minimal, or even avoid it altogether if I could. I would not forgive myself if an innocent was to be hurt. Already enough innocent blood had been spilled upon this world and the worlds of others.

Almost all of it being by the horrid dark beings Nightmare and Tabuu. But now the long war caused by him and the destruction brought on by Tabuu were all over; the universe was once more at peace and the events that previously occupied my time no longer existed. I could fulfill my dream and overthrow the self-proclaimed King Dedede at last.

Aware of the lowering sun, I drew myself out of my reverie. My yellow eyes curved upwards and I took note of the golden sky and oncoming nightfall. It was time.
