Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 12: A Long Season

A couple of weeks had passed and, to tell the truth, everything had gone normally and even with some tranquility.

It was another normal day of school. Dixie left her house and was heading towards Kong Kollege. She hadn't fared badly in her first few weeks as a student, in fact, homework and classes wise, she had been doing well.

She was walking calmly a short distance from Kong Kollege. When suddenly, a known voice called to her and she turned to look, adopting an expression of strangeness when she saw a certain orangutan kid.

"Hello, Dixie," Jemky suddenly appeared, wearing sunglasses and resting one hand against a tree.

"And what are you doing around here?" Dixie watched suspiciously, and put herself in position to fight if necessary.

"Hey, relax, I don't want to fight," Jemky replied with a few small laughs, walking next to her. "Why are you so alone around here? Do you want me to accompany you to school?" he said with apparent kindness.

"No. Do you need anything?" Dixie asked wryly.

"Well, I was just coming to see a... pretty girl," he said, lowering his glasses and looking up. Then, he took out a bouquet of flowers and held it out to Dixie. "I mean, you, Dixie. I brought these beautiful flowers for a beautiful monkey girl."

"Ugh, is it serious?!" Dixie replied, looking at him strangely. "And also, what do you bring those glasses for?"

"They're for you to see with a different style than who you'll have at your feet, baby," he added, winking at her. "Do you know something, Dixie? When I first saw you... I couldn't stop thinking about you," he said in a sweet tone as they continued walking. "Seriously, you are the most beautiful and precious girl I have ever seen."

Apparently, that orangutan boy showed some interest in Dixie. In fact, on a few occasions during those weeks, he had been trying to interact with her, but Dixie wasn't going to take it seriously, since he was one of those bad kids.

"Oh, and wait, I brought you other gifts," Jemky added, forcibly handing her the flowers and taking a box of candies out of his backpack. "I have these sweets for you to sweeten your little heart. And look also at what I brought you."

Jemky took out another smaller box from his backpack and showed it to Dixie, as they walked and she looked at him strangely. Inside the box, there was a pair of bright necklaces that had a rather fine appearance.

"These jewels are also for you," he said, handing her the box. "When I stea- I mean, when I bought them, I thought only you could make them look pretty," Jemky continued, gently grabbing her hair. "Look at you, you are a beautiful girl, I also see that you are strong and know how to fight very well. I haven't seen another girl who is as cute as you, and-"

"Yeah, yeah, thank you, but I have to go!" interrupted Dixie, giving him all the things back, almost throwing them.

Dixie tried to ignore him and kept walking at a faster pace, but immediately, Jemky stood in her head-on.

"Hey, not so fast, girl. What do you think if we hang out someday? Something... like a date, huh?" Jemky continued, winking at her again.

"And what makes you think I'll accept it?" Dixie replied, crossing her arms.

"A pretty girl like you deserves someone as handsome as me," he said with some pride. "You shouldn't be alone, or you could fall in love with a braggart; there are a lot of bad boys."

"Like you, for example," Dixie countered with a shrug.

"Me a bad boy? No, no, I'd do anything to have your heart, baby," he added, taking one of Dixie's hairs delicately. "We'd look great together."
