Some time had passed. Storm was now more mature than before.
"Okay... Where should I go? That person did say there were kind people on Popstar..."
Storm steered her ship towards a planet that looked yellow with two rings, in the shape of a star.
"Here goes..."
She carefully landed in a forest, then concealed her starship in the branches. Then, she took her Warp Star, putting it in her cape. She had discovered some time before that the cape was a Dimensional Cloak, which would allow her to teleport herself short distances and store items.
"Where is out?" She began to wander in the forest, then found a tree covered in red apples. "Oh, an apple tree!" Storm climbed the tree. Suddenly, to her surprise, the tree shook a little and a face appeared.
"Hello," said a wise and kind voice.
"Whoa, that startled me." Storm said.
The tree laughed, then said "Do you want an apple?"
"Yes please!"
"Okay."
The tree shook a branch, and a few apples fell.
"Thank you!"
"No problem."
Storm happily chomped on the apple, finding to her delight that it was as sweet as chocolate. She had developed a bit of a sweet tooth during her travels.
"Do you know how to get out of here?" She asked.
"Just travel along that path, the one with the flower."
"Okay. Bye, mister tree!"
"Goodbye."
Storm walked down the path, looking for the exit. After a few minutes, she found it. At the exit, she saw a small town, a field full of sheep, a castle on a hill, and a small pink ball that looked a lot like her chasing a butterfly.
"Hello," she said to the puffball.
"Poyo!" It replied.
"What?"
"Poyo...?"
Storm, completely confused, decided to tell it her name.
"I'm storm."
"Name Storm?"
"Yes."
"Name Kirby!"
"Hello Kirby."
"Poyo!"
Storm laughed, gently tickling the puffball known as Kirby, who pushed away her hand with a giggle.
"Poyo friends!" Kirby began pulling her towards the town.
"Okay."
Storm followed Kirby to the town, not knowing that the people she would meet would change her life.
