Please, take it down! I don't deserve this!
Sorry, Kawasaki. King's orders!
[Kawasaki whimpering]
Maybe we should give this diss thing a try.
And it sure beats having to buy him a present.
You do have a point there, Gus.
Kawasaki deserves a little dissing.
His food disses all our stomachs.
[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.
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!
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.
[Kirby latches onto the watermelon cart, pushing King Dedede and Escargoon down with it]
Sire, we have to get out of here.
What's the problem? It's only a watermelon patch.
You're forgetting about our explosive surprise.
Oh yeah. Don't eat yet, Kirby!
[Dedede and Escargoon laughing]
[laughs] We got you got good this time, sucker!
Only a few seconds left! 10. 9. 8.
[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]
[laughing] So you think Kirby liked his present?
He was blown away by it, Sire.
[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?
No thanks, I played a dynamite trick on Kirby and now I want to buy him a nice present.
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?
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...
[laughs, offscreen] That's more like it!
[runs into the throne room] A message for you, Sire!
It's from Tiff. She's inviting us to Kirby's memorial service.
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.
All those explosions were simply too much for him to take!
[Dedede and Escargoon whimpering]
Hard for him. What was left.
[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]
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!
[As he hitting Escargoon on the head] Now I wish you was dumb as me! [crying continues]
If only that were possible.
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.
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!
I PROMISE!! [crying] Here, Kirby. This one ain't got no time bomb.
I'm sure he'd like that a lot.
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]
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?
[whimpers, then loudly cries tears of joy] I'M GLAD HE'S OKAY!!!
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.
[the townsfolk celebrate Kirby's victory]
Every day's Kirby appreciation day.
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.
[whimpers, then cries loudly] THEY ONLY APPRECIATE MY MONEY!!
[Kirby is hoisted into the air at the end of this episode]
