[Escargoon stops King Dedede from barging in to his Waddle Dees' mess hall]
No, sire! I don't think you should go in the dining hall 'til you've calmed down!
King DededeI am calm and hungry too!
[grunts] Please, Majesty! This is not a good i..dea! You won't be able to control your temper or your appetite! [Pushing Dedede into backwards, grunting] We can't afford to upset the Waddle Dees, Majesty! They do all the work around here! Sire! Let it go! Back up!
King Dedede
Hey! Hold on. It don't make sense to me! How can that Waddle Dees eat gourmet grub when they don't got no mouths?
[cut to Escargoon and King Dedede find out how Waddle Dee eat]
King Dedede
See? No mouth. Waddle Dees can't eat cause they ain't no place to shovel in food!
But, Sire, every living creature needs nourishment. [he runs off and he runs back with a cookie] Let's see if he eats this cookie!
[A Waddle Dee eats a cookie]
King Dedede
No way!
King Dedede
Hey, how'd it do that? It's munchin' alright...
King Dedede
That's weird.
[Waddle Dee gulps and he walks away]
They and great didn't even say "Thank you".
[rattling sound]
King Dedede
Yeah...How much does it cost?
King Dedede
To feed them there Waddle Dees.
[to the Waddle Dees] The king's so stingy he put us on a starvation diet! Now our stomachs cry out for vengeance!
[cut to King Dedede and Escargoon being chased by angry Waddle Dees]
King Dedede
We in trouble! My own guards is out to get me!
I've heard of hunger strikes before, but this is ridiculous!
I think you'd be a much better candidate for something like "Take Your Tyrant to Lunch Day!"
King Dedede
Must be somebody out there appreciates me!
Oh, I wouldn't bet on that. [to Waddle Doo and Waddle Dees] Do you guys know anybody who appreciates His Majesty?
[offscreen] Don't you appreciate the king?
[As Dedede growls] I have somebody who appreciates me.
King Dedede
You liar, they're ain't nobody who appreciates you none neither!
King Dedede
Who could ever appreciate a slug-less slime maker like you. [laughs]
[Cappies laughing after throwing those pies at Chef Kawasaki]
[offscreen] Drop those pies!
[All the cappies exclaims in once]
I expect this from Dedede but not from you!
We're only doing what the king said we had.
Tomorrow's your Appreciation Day, Chief Bookem. But I guess it's your Dis Day now.
Oh, that's alright. Don't bother.
Looks like Tiff's trying to disrupt Dis Day.
King Dedede
Just wait 'til she finds out who we dissin' next!
[King Dedede and Escargoon laughing evilly]
I guess I was wrong of think Dedede have a change of heart.
You were wrong to think he had heart.
Deep down I'm sure he wants to be good just like the rest of us do.
I think he's rotten no matter how deep down you go.
Even so I--[She notices Kirby is missing] Kirby?
[Kirby is lured by a watermelon once again. King Dedede and Escargoon prepare the watermelon time bombs]
Sire, be more careful of this plan old backfire!
King Dedede
Look at these things got me all taking out. I sure wish Kirby would hurry up and get here.
Just make sure those watermelons you squatting on don't get crushed, Your Majesty. And don't forget they've all been hollowed out and have time bombs inside them.
[offscreen, angry] What's going on!?
This might be some kind of trap, Tiff.
[As she attempts to walk near the wagon] I think I better take a closer look.
King Dedede
NO! NO! STAY AWAY!
[Kirby latches onto the watermelon cart, pushing King Dedede and Escargoon down with it]
Sire, we have to get out of here.
King Dedede
What's the problem? It's only a watermelon patch.
You're forgetting about our explosive surprise.
King Dedede
Oh yeah. Don't eat yet, Kirby!
[Dedede and Escargoon laughing]
King Dedede
You fell for it!
[laughs] We got you got good this time, sucker!
King Dedede
Only a few seconds left! 10. 9. 8.
King Dedede
Here...
[Kirby's face becomes red and glows, and he then starts to spit gray smoke from his mouth, at such a force and speed that he is sent flying up in the air while spitting out more smoke]
He's worse than heartburn.
[Kirby crashes into Cappy Town; charred, but he still okay after the watermelon bombs explode inside]
Imagine someone doing such an awful thing.
[angry] DEDEDE'S GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!!
Yeah, he can't get away with turning Kirby into a firework!
I'm having an idea on how to get them back! And I'll need you all to help me!
[All the Cappies exclaim in once]
If he thinks these pranks is funny he's dead wrong!
[Cut to King Dedede and Escargoon in a throne room]
King Dedede
[laughing] So you think Kirby liked his present?
He was blown away by it, Sire.
King Dedede
[laughing] You know I almost feel sorry for that pink pea brain. Maybe I should get him a little thank you gift for being such a good sport.
In the market for a monster, Big D?
King Dedede
No thanks, I played a dynamite trick on Kirby and now I want to buy him a nice present.
King Dedede
Maybe a box of chocolate-covered watermelons, or a toy, or maybe a t-shirt that says "poyo" on it.
And wrap it up really pretty too.
You sure you guys are feeling all right?
King Dedede
Hush-up! Just send me a present for Kirby or I'll never order a monster from you again!
I'll do the best I can, Your Majesty...
King Dedede
[laughs, offscreen] That's more like it!
[runs into the throne room] A message for you, Sire!
King Dedede
Who's it from?
It's from Tiff. She's inviting us to Kirby's memorial service.
King Dedede
His what?
I regret to inform you that Kirby is gone. We're gathering to bid farewell to him this afternoon. Please, join us to pay our last respects.
King Dedede
Is Kirby really!?
All those explosions were simply too much for him to take!
[Dedede and Escargoon whimpering]
King Dedede
So, Kirby's in there?
Hard for him. What was left.
King Dedede
[gasps, then cried] KIRBY!!! [whimpering as he starts having flashbacks of Kirby in his mind. Back in reality, he tears up] ...I'm sorry!..
[Dedede and Escargoon start crying in front of Kirby's grave, while Tiff, Tuff, and the Cappies, still crestfallen, are standing in front of it]
King Dedede
It's all our fault!
Forgive us, Kirby! That prank was His Majesty's idea, but I was the one who came up with the time bomb part! For once I wish I weren't so brilliant!
King Dedede
[As he hitting Escargoon on the head] Now I wish you was dumb as me! [crying continues]
If only that were possible.
King Dedede
I never would have played that prank if I never knew this was gonna happen...I wish I could go and take it all back!
Unfortunately, it's too late.
King Dedede
But there's got to be something I can do.
You can't do start by promising not to play any more practical jokes on your subjects!
King Dedede
I PROMISE!! [crying] Here, Kirby. This one ain't got no time bomb.
I'm sure he'd like that a lot.
King Dedede
I MISS YOU KIRBY OL' BUDDY! [cries]
I think Dedede is really sorry.
Looks like he learned his lesson.
[Kirby then jumps out of his fake grave, and eats the watermelon. Dedede and Escargoon scream]
King Dedede
He even got a hungry ghost!
[Tuff groans]
Kirby's not a ghost. The runt's still alive! A-ha! You were all playing a trick on His Majesty, weren't ya?
King Dedede
[whimpers, then loudly cries tears of joy] I'M GLAD HE'S OKAY!!!
King Dedede
It was dull bein' ruler of Dream Land before you came along. I need me an enemy!
The king really has changed.
In his own twisted way he cares about Kirby.
King Dedede
Kirby...
[the townsfolk celebrate Kirby's victory]
Every day's Kirby appreciation day.
King Dedede
Huh? Somebody appreciates me too.
Here. Let's see. It's a bill from Nightmare Enterprises. They want 9 million D-Bills for that monster.
King Dedede
[whimpers, then cries loudly] THEY ONLY APPRECIATE MY MONEY!!
