Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 1: Celebration After the Adventure

The final battle of Donkey Kong Country, the one in which Donkey Kong along with his nephew, Diddy Kong, faced the evil king of the Kremlings named K. Rool, who had stolen the precious reserve of bananas, that source of potassium and feeding for the inhabitants of DK Island.

... Those who have played Donkey Kong Country will already know that story.

This time, we will see another... story.

DK Island, a peaceful island for now, where some species of animals lived, especially several primates also known as kongs. At the same time, within this species, there was a particular family... This family was very united; not all of them were blood family, but their friendship showed as if they were:

Cranky, a grumpy old kong; Wrinkly, Cranky's wife; Funky, an energetic gorilla surfer and pilot; Candy, a sweet female gorilla; Lanky, a charismatic orangutan; Swanky, a gorilla full of luxuries; and we can't forget the famous Donkey Kong, the great hero and future ruler of the island; and, last but not least, Diddy Kong, a little spider monkey, Donkey's nephew and adventure partner.

Days after that aforementioned battle, some of the members of this Kong family were reunited in front of Donkey Kong's house. Everyone thanked Donkey and his nephew Diddy for having rescued that banana reserve from the reptilian clutches of King K. Rool.

"How nice it's to have our precious banana reserve back," Cranky said as he finished closing the cave where that reserve was stored.

"You two are heroes, we already have our reserve back, thanks to you!" Funky exclaimed excitedly to Donkey and Diddy. "You are the best!"

"Thank you, Funky," Donkey replied, smiling at them. "You know that we always want the good for everyone."

"And as a gesture of gratitude, we'll celebrate a party!" Funky added, jumping with excitement.

This Kong family always liked to celebrate for any reason, no matter how small or big.

"Oh, no, no, no!" Cranky exclaimed, looking contradictory. "No one will have any other party! Not after what happened in the last one!"

Well, unlike the older kong with a white beard and a cane, who was Donkey's grandfather, and who just needed reassurance and liked to compare his old times with the current ones. But even so, he had to tolerate the parties, because most kongs were much younger and more relaxed than him.

"Relax, Grandpa!" Donkey told him with a little laugh. "You got mad that time just because Diddy took your banana dessert by mistake while we were playing dessert war. If you don't want another party, don't go and that's all."

"Now it turns out that you want to exclude me!" Cranky grumbled, raising his cane, about to hit Donkey with his cane.

"But if you just said you don't want a party, then you're just not going," Donkey replied. "Why can't you stop being such an idiot and curmudgeon?"

"Did you call me an idiot?" said Cranky, casting a menacing look at Donkey, before raising his voice in fury. "DID YOU CALL ME AN IDIOT?!"

"Oh, no, no, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that to you, Cranky!" Donkey exclaimed, looking somewhat regretful. "WAIT, WAIT!... NOOOOO!" He shouted before fleeing, seeing that Cranky was chasing him to give him a couple of blows with his cane... and that's how it was. In fact, this type of situation used to be frequent between Cranky and his beloved grandson Donkey.

***

The day of the party that Funky had planned had arrived and, at dusk, Donkey and Diddy were at his house getting ready to attend. Both kongs lived in a treehouse, where beneath it was the cave that contained the entire reserve of bananas. Donkey had taken care of Diddy for most of his life as if he were a son, since his parents had been victims of a war when he was a very little child. He seemed to be a father to his nephew, although their relationship was more like brothers. Diddy greatly admired Donkey and one day hoped to be a hero like him.
