Chapter 25: Sharing Secrets
Upon arriving back at the inn, the group walked in to find Dedede and the Waddle Dee trio in the lobby, chatting away with some of the Sugar Gnome staff, King Dedede having a glass of juice in his hand.
"And that is why no one steals our hats! Doopity-doo!" a Sugar Gnome finished telling their story.
"Hehehe, remind me to never get on a Sugar Gnome's bad side." Dedede chuckled, taking a sip of his juice.
"Great King!" Bandana Dee waddled up to him as the rest of the group walked past them "How was the juice bar?"
Dedede took another sip of juice. "Lovely! The juice there is simply phenomenal! You'd definitely love it too, Bandana. They have amazing apple juice."
"Mmmm, tempting. I do love apple juice. But Great King, how many cups have you had?"
"Oh, not that many."
"This is the Great King's ninth cup!" the smallest Waddle Dee snitched.
Bandana Dee's face went blank. "Ninth?!?"
"Relax," Dedede ordered the Waddle Dees "it's just berry juice, I'll be fine."
Dedede took a big gulp of the remaining juice within his glass, letting out a very satisfied breath once he was finished. Bandana Dee faced his fellow Waddle Dees, and the orangest one rolled their eyes, causing him to chuckle.
A cuckoo clock then went off, making the Sugar Gnome staff look at it, and proceed to wave goodnight to Dedede and the Waddle Dees as they went off to return to their work at the inn.
For about a minute, there was peace and quiet. Peace and quiet that was ended by Marx when he entered the inn, kicking the entry door open with his foot.
"(*YAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWN!*) Man! I am beat!" he bellowed "I'm gonna go get some shut eye before we have more fun tomorrow."
The chaotic jester walked by everyone, who all gave him funny looks.
"Marx, you know we're leaving tomorrow, right?" Elfilin sniffed, the fluffy little buddy being carried by Adeleine.
Marx faced the group. "Wait we are?? Where are we going?"
"We're going to the Vanilla Kingdom." Strawberry Cookie told him "We got a letter from a friend there, and not only did he find your friend Ribbon, but he's also going to help us find the rest of your friends."
"Wait, Vanilla Kingdom? As in vanilla ice cream?" Marx got excited "Are we going to an ice cream kingdom tomorrow?!"
As someone who absolutely adored ice cream, hearing this news filled Marx with huge amounts of enthusiasm. In his mind he pictured a land filled with ice cream for snow, waffle cones for houses, and popsicle sticks for sofas. All of which, Marx also envisioned as being edible.
"Ooooh I'd better get to bed then!!"
Marx sprinted off towards the stairs that led up to the rooms, rushing right past his friends. "Ice cream!!!!!"
Once he was up the stairs, the Cookies looked at each other.
"Uh... Should we tell him the Vanilla Kingdom isn't exactly made of ice cream?" Custard Cookie III questioned.
Wizard Cookie sighed. "Just leave that nuisance be."
"He didn't even acknowledge the fact that Ribbon was found..." Kirby frowned.
King Dedede walked up to the group. "We'd better get to bed too, we're pretty excited to go somewhere new, right Waddle Dees?"
"Yes Great King!" Bandana Dee stood firm.
