Chapter 3: Teaching Talking

I looked out in the distance as usual, standing on top of a rock and watching the waves crash on the shore. Everything was calm and serene for once, King DeeDeeDee is in too much debt to buy a monster so everything was happy and calm. I actually felt somewhat relaxed in the atmosphere, even the villagers were peaceful. I looked and saw Tuff and the other kids were playing with Kirby, he was babbling in his nonsense of word.

All Kirby ever said was poyo, I don't blame him though. He crashed too early and wasn't fully grown so he was like a baby warrior, he never has even went to school once in his little life. I started thinking, maybe I could teach him how to speak? Then he could communicate and talk like a true star warrior. I hopped down and surprised Tuff as he screamed and fell backwards in a heap.

"Oh it's just you Meta Knight" he said, dusting off his pants "is there something wrong?"

"No, I just need to talk to Kirby for a bit" I said, glancing at Kirby who was smiling at me with a confused goofy grin

"uhhhhh" Tuff scratched his head "I guess, we don't need Kirby anyways to play!" Tuff said as they nodded.

"Alright, Kirby" I called out to me

"Poyo?" Kirby cocked his head like a dog then ran towards me chirping "poyo" happily

"Come with me" I turned around with my cape, walking onwards

We should go towards Whispey Woods so we may not be interrupted. After a few minutes of walking and waiting for Kirby to stop eating all the fruit in sight we stopped near the campsite where we had roasted marshmallows. The memories made me want to face palm, I don't want a smore ever again.

"Ok Kirby, I shall teach you to speak" I said, letting him sit down in a nearby patch of grass

"Poyo!" seems like he was saying 'ok!'

"First, try and say hello"

"Pooyoooo" Kirby said then frowned and tried again "poooooyoooo""

"Keep trying, star warriors never give up"

After a few minutes of failed attempts we tried different words. Simple words like 'the' or 'then' and even 'a' he could only get one word right and that was 'poyo' and another word he blurted out.

"Poop!" he said, a big smile on his face proudly

"Uh, that will do for now"

I never realized it was going to be this hard to teach Kirby how to say simple words from the English language, maybe Japanese would be better? No, I don't know much Japanese to be honest, what could I do to teach Kirby words? Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I hopped up swiftly and grabbed an apple, bringing it down in front of Kirby. His mouth watered and he tried taking it out of my hands but I quickly took it out of reach.

"This is an apple, can you say apple? If you do you can eat this" I said, juggling the apple in my hand.

"Aaapoooyol" Kirby said then gasped "apoyol!" Kirby cheered and then took the apple from my hand in an instant and started munching on it quickly.

"Good work Kirby"

Right after I said this a storm rose over us, black clouds hovering over Whispey Woods as lightning and rain struck down.

"Come Kirby! We must take shelter!"

Right when I said that a lightning bolt hit Kirby, making him go flying across Whispey Woods. I started running towards it, avoiding the thunder that was being attracted by my metal mask, I mustn't take it off. I kept running and running, I couldn't lose Kirby! I suddenly saw Kirby laying beside an apple tree. I ran to him, picked him up and rushed into a cave.

I got a good look at him through my mask and saw there were no serious injuries, only a bit of burnt marks. Nothing compared to some of DeeDeeDee's monsters. I kept guard at the entrance of the cave until Kirby became conscious again. I heard mumbles and saw he was conscious again and was trying to get up.

"Stay down my friend, I will take you to doc" I said picking him up and looking outside

The storm was gone now and only a few clouds stood in the sky. I started walking and was surprised Kirby hasn't said any words so far, well I mean any baby talk. After a few moments of silence I decided to talk a little

"Are you ok Kirby?" I asked

Kirby didn't answer, he looked like he was in an extreme daze. Finally we got out of Whispey Woods and was heading towards the town when I heard Kirby murmuring something. It sounded like he was trying to say words and I froze when I heard he said words.

"I… wyuv… you… Metoy… Knigghhttt"

I love you Meta Knight
