Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 54: A Friendly Ending?

In the mid-afternoon hours of the same day, Diddy and Dixie were at home cleaning and tidying up their room, as it was something they always did every beginning of the week as Mr. Pinky had indicated. Both of them were already a little calmer, as they now had information of his whereabouts.

Dixie went outside for a while to clean one of the windows, when suddenly, she could see in the distance certain known silhouettes that seemed to be heading towards the house. Immediately, Dixie entered the house again and headed towards Diddy.

"Guess who's coming here," Dixie said, rolling her eyes.

Diddy, while cleaning some shelves, turned and, from Dixie's expression, guessed who she was referring to.

"Don't tell me... It's those four fake ones, right?"

"The same. And now what will they want?" Dixie wondered.

"And what will those come to right now?" Diddy added with a look of disgust.

"No idea, but it sounds very shameless if they come looking for us... What in the world will they want to tell us?"

"If it's to apologize, I don't know about you, but I won't forgive them anymore," Diddy said firmly. "Not now."

"And what do we say to them then?" she added, crossing her arms.

"Well, let them go; we have nothing to say to them," he replied with a shrug. "And are they coming here exactly?"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door continuously. Diddy and Dixie looked at each other doubtful of wanting to open, but they had no choice.

"There's no one!" Diddy exclaimed before laughing quietly, to which Dixie nudged him a little.

Both went to look out the window and, indeed, it was that group, with whom they collided with some uncomfortable looks since they were right in front of the door. After hesitating for a few seconds, both proceeded to open the door slowly, at the same time looking at the four of them with extreme discomfort, and they returned their eyes.

"Yeah?" Diddy pronounced, looking at them seriously.

The four of them had much more tense expressions than the previous time. They gave each other small pushes and gestured to each other to talk.

"Uhh... can we talk to you?" Ricky told them with a forced smile.

Both Diddy and Dixie looked at them rather oddly at the shameless act of looking for them at their house; they even didn't lack the desire to kick them out of there.

"Talk... about what?" Diddy asked them, looking at them quite seriously.

"It's only a while," Mandy replied, forcing a smile. "Please."

Diddy and Dixie, almost without saying a word to them, nodded to the four of them, and then headed with them under the house to talk better... even if they didn't feel like doing it anymore. Arriving under the house, Diddy and Dixie just folded their arms as they stared and listened to the four of them.

"Hey... I know you're upset with us," Ricky told them with a low look and looking embarrassed. "But we wanted to tell you that... Well, yes... we did have that planned for you. Truly... sorry. We just came to apologize to you for all that... Sure, if you still want to."

"By the way, we'll sail the ship in four days," Mandy said with a forced smile. "We still have some adjustments to make. And we wanted to tell you that too, if you'll still go with us."

"Oh, excuse us!" Melvyn suddenly pleaded with them. "I know we were mean to you. Yes, we said all those things about the two of you and set these traps for you. But... we were thinking about it, and we really acted very badly. We wanted to know if... we could fix things with you."
