Under My Spell (Kirby Fanfic)

Chapter 5 : "Shape of a Heart"

Y/n's POV
A sudden news struck down upon me.
My mother became very sick after a few days staying in Dream Land. It's nothing major, but just the thought of it just makes me terrified. What if it worsen or there's no cure?
My father ensures to find a doctor and he has discussed it thoroughly with King Dedede.

“You’re the doctor??” I asked him in disbelief.
“Hehe... No liscense or anything but I have my experiences!”
Kirby, wearing a doctor’s suit, applied for the job...
Do I trust this kid?
“No no, that’s not right. I don’t trust you.”
“Well, maybe because I don’t have the medicine.... or ingredients to make them.” he let out a chuckle.
“Are you serious?!”
I quickly ran and barge into my father’s room.
“Father! Did you choose that Kirby to be the doctor??” I asked frantically.
“I don’t see why not. He can be available anywhere and Dedede seems just fine with it as well.” he let out a chuckle. Is this a joke? “Trust me.” Kirby said behind me. “Eh? You chased after me?”
“I wanted to try and convince you to trust me. I'll do something okay? And plus, I won't be alone.” he smiled. “Who will help you?” I asked. “He'll come later. He told me he needs to prepare his potions.” Kirby's smile grew to a wide grin. I still don't know if I could trust Kirby. But since he won't be alone, I can definitely trust them both. “Fine. I'll trust you.” I sighed. “Yay! Princess Y/n trusts me!” he cheered childishly, jumping up and down. Can't be angry at him for too long, he's adorable after all. “But, I'll be watching over you. Got it?” I said. “Sure, I don't mind.” he placed his hands behind him, giving me an innocent look. “Let's not waste more time.”
We both hurried to my mother's room, who had been left for too long. When we arrived, she looked slightly worse than before. I fear it might take a while to cure her fever. Kirby rushed to her side and checked her pulse and her temperature. Poor mother, she must be suffering...
A sudden knock on the door startled me, and I opened the door to find a man with a strange blue hood standing behind the door. I was mesmerized by his strangely familiar appearance before a yell came. “Ah! Magolor!”
Huh?
Why does that... sound familiar? “So, you're the friend Kirby mentioned?” I asked, letting him in. “Yes. Nice to meet you, princess.”
His voice is gentle and very enchanting. I couldn't clearly make out his face but just from those eyes, it's almost as if I've seen him once before. “You brought everything, right?” Kirby asked. “Of course! Anything to help my best friend.” he happily said. “Best friend?”
“Yeah, he's technically my best friend. Before, he was an awful, meanie guy.” Kirby stated. “Hey! That's not true at all! And don't speak of that incident anymore. It is in the past and I do not want to dwell in the past.” he said. “Ahaha! Yeah, yeah.” Kirby laughed. “Incident...?” I mumbled to myself. “Are you perhaps curious?” Magolor asked. “A little, I guess.” I shrugged. “Oh! Can I explain it to her?” Kirby enthusiastically raised his hand. “I'll do that. It's better if she hears it from the one who caused the incident.”
Oh, so he caused it. Whatever could it be? How come I don't know?
He clears his throat. “Long ago, I stole a ship crafted by the ancients, it is called the Lor Starcutter. I gave it extra modifications and went to fight a four-headed dragon, Landia, to obtain the Master Crown. An ancient artifact that's said capable of granting anyone who wore it limitless abilities. Naturally, anyone would want to obtain such item, including myself. And Landia is tasked to protect that. We fought, but ultimately I was defeated.” he explained. It's as if I am watching a play, with his dramatic gestures. “I brought the Lor Starcutter to Planet Popstar, where I knew that this fellow jolly friend would be able to help me.” he said as he placed his hand on Kirby's shoulder. “Huh? I wasn't paying attention.” he said, clearly more focused on my mother than his story. But, he was present, so he already knew, anyways. “Ahem, anyway. I lost 120 energy spheres and lost 5 important parts of the ship, which greatly devastates me. Luckily, Kirby and his wonderful friends came inside and offered their help. I was truly grateful of their kindness and took that offer. Thus, they set on their journey to find the missing parts and re-obtain the energy spheres. It was a long adventure, but I'm sure he had fun, and a nice meal.” he nudged Kirby and laughed. “Yeah, I ate a lot and got myself distracted often.” he added, still focused on my sick mother. What's taking him long? “Hey, Kirby? Is my mother okay?” I asked him. “Oh! Her fever is quite high, but with enough treatment she'll definitely recover.” he gave her a reassuring smile. “Magolor, you're not helping at all.” Kirby gave him a pout. “Ahaha! I will help with the potions, but right now my story is more important.” he chuckled. Seriously?
“After an incredibly long journey, Kirby and his friends collected every one of them back and as a treat, I brought him to Halcandra, my homeland! Of course, it was simply an excuse to bring him there so he could help me defeat Landia. I even purposefully went near Landia's domain so that they'd attack my ship, and make him look awful in front of Kirby!” he continues to explain anyway. “Don't you realize you're kind of making yourself look awful?” Kirby pointed out, finally done with my mother and sat down on the nearby chair. “H-hey! At least I'm being honest.” he said. “What kind of medicine will my mother need?” I asked Kirby. “Ah, well, we'll just see, I guess!” he just shrugged in response. They both seem like the troublesome duo...
“Um, were you listening to my story?” Magolor asked me. “Eh? Um.. yes, I was. I just need to concern myself with mother as well, y'know? And you are definitely not helping.” I joked. He's stunned, it seems. “D-don't worry, I promise I'll help.” he shyly said, different from when he's proudly explaining the incident. “Anyway, Kirby and everyone else decided to go out and head to Landia's domain. Once he's there, he gave him a good beating and retrieved the crown for me! It had strangely worn itself onto me, but I didn't find it strange up until I felt as if I couldn't grasp control over the power. I felt lost when I had transformed into a monster with an eye for a mouth, which Kirby told me.” in the beginning, he sound proud. But when he said that, he seemed devastated and sad. “It truly made me realize I was a fool. Even if I didn't adorn it myself, I still wanted that crown. Desperate and greedy. I wanted a destructive power I had no control over, and risked many lives in danger for no good reason.” he continued. He felt guilt, I can tell in his voice. “Aww...” Kirby smiled sadly at his friend's sadness. “I know you're sorry, though. I mean, you took all that effort to made me a theme park. How could I refuse?” Kirby said, stroking his arm. “I am grateful to have you as a friend. Thank you, Kirby.” even though his mouth was hidden beneath his scarf, I could tell he was smiling with relief.
“Wow, don't that sound familiar?”
A familiar voice rang through the room. “Ah! It's you.” Magolor hissed. Huh?
I turned around and saw Marx leaning on the door frame. “Oh, hi Marx!” Kirby happily waved. “Been a while since we've last seen eachother, you wizard.” he said with a smirk on his face.

Cliffhanger!
Dang, I am practically retelling the events of Return to Dreamland. Insane, I know. Why would I do that? I just wanted the chapter to be long. I hope you can forgive me for that.
I've read everyone's comment on the A/N. I'm truly happy to hear your thoughts about this kind of fanfic and I never really thought like the way everyone else does cuz I tend to forget. But now I realize it's not about writing a fanfic that's about a children's game that makes it weird, it should depend on the quality of my writing that decides whether it's weird or not. Thanks again everyone! I apprediate your continuous support.
Thanks for reading! Merry late Christmas and Happy New Year!
Now I shall return to the dead.
