Of Gardens and Bubble Bath
Well, I did another ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
15minuteficlets challenge! For a fandom I haven't done in a while anyway... and I didn't think I could do this week's word, but I couldn't stop thinking of King Dedede... XDDD Anyway, I pretty much rushed through the middle, hence its shortness. Yet, I still managed to take the time for Meta Knight to say something obvious. XD I think I'm most proud of the ending... I found it cute, so I'm pretty happy with the rest of the piece too. ^^ Man, I think I use too much pronouns these days, though. XDD A little note by the way: I used the dub names for this fic, (And yes, Dedede's got his accent. XD) but I decided to call Nightmare Enterprises by their Japanese name "Holy Nightmare", 'cause honestly... it's for a good reason. XD
Title: Of Gardens and Bubble Bath
Author: Jigglypuff in Blue Ribbons
Fandom: Kirby (Animé)
Genre: 15 Minute Ficlet/Humor
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Pairings (if any) : Goonie thinking of Dedede.
Finished: Yes.
Word: Bathtub
“ES-CAH-GOOOOOOON!!!”
Never had he been so angry. Actually, it was the millionth time he had thought that to himself in a while. King Dedede had everything perfect—he had the bathtub all filled up with nice, warm water, filled to the brim with foamy, puffy bubbles fit for a mermaid. He had his towels and washcloth too, and the shampoo and everything. Only one thing was missing, and it was oh-so-major: the soap. And it wasn’t the regular soap he used whenever he was in the bathroom, either. Oh no, it was a special soap. It was provided to him as a gift from Holy Nightmare, and it was supposed to be just the thing to give his blue, puffy feathers some shine. And now, it was gone.
…And he had realized this as soon as he relaxed himself into the tub.
Frustrated, the penguin king splashed his way out, wrapping a pink towel around his waist. He dashed his way out the door, bubble bath spilling across the bathroom floor and marking his rabid footsteps.
“ES-CAH-GOOOOOOON!!! WHERE IS MAH SPECIAL SOAP!?”
Dedede zoomed right past a number of Waddle Dees, spinning them like dradyls. Right past the confused and baffled Tiff, right past the mischeif-causing Tuff and Kirby, and unknown to him, Meta Knight and his crew.
“…What was that?”
“I think that was Dedede, sir.”
“Babbling about some kinda soap, I think…”
“Hmm…” the veteran knight chuckled softly. “I’m sure he’ll find it somewhere.”
Soon, the towel-clad penguin was outside, searching rabidly for his snail servant. Alas, he wasn’t anywhere to be found, which only doubled, no… tripled his anger, at that.
“ES-CAH-GOOOOOOON!!!”
Underneath a tree in the shade, Escargoon sighed. It certainly did feel peaceful in this obscure side of the castle at least, and he didn’t have master whacking him with his hammer either. Yet… it certainly did feel a little quiet right here. The purple snail took a peek through a castle peephole through the walls, watching Dedede storm across the garden. It wasn’t the only time he had seen his master dressed like that, but his heart still fluttered at the sight of him. At any rate, he was going to find him anyway, and soon he’d be the one needing a bath.
With a sigh, Escargoon smiled as he stared at the pink rectangular object in his hands, and made his way back to the garden. He certainly hidden things well.
