Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part One Chapter Nine

Milky Way Cookie stopped poking Kirby and tilted her head. "Is that so? What's your home called?"

"My home? It's a nice little place called DreamLand!"

Milky Way Cookie gasped in excitement "DreamLand?! Is that a land in the World of Dreams that I've never been to?"

"Oh no, it's just a land in my home planet Popstar." Kirby corrected her "It's not actually part of a dream realm."

Milky Way Cookie looked confused. "Wait, why is it called DreamLand if it's not part of the World of Dreams?" she questioned "Why do you call it that if it's not actually a dream land?"

Kirby chuckled. "Well it's called that because it's such a nice place, that it's practically a dream come true! Everyone there is usually very happy and in paradise!"

"I'm still confused," Milky Way Cookie raised her eyebrow "does it have any connection to dreams?"

"Kinda! There is a place known as the Fountain of Dreams, and it helps everyone have happy and pleasant dreams."

Milky Way Cookie's eyes sparkled "Ooh, a Fountain of Dreams? That sounds fun! We've got all kinds of dream themed items and architecture in this world, but I haven't seen a Fountain of Dreams before! It sounds very nice!"

"Yeah, it is." Kirby nodded, looking out at the starry sky some more "I've always felt a connection to it, as well as dreams and space in general. That's why they call me Kirby of the Stars!"

"Kirby of the Stars." Milky Way Cookie marveled at that name "That's a great title!"

Kirby smiled "Thank you!" he then sat down to look up at the starry sky some more, Milky Way Cookie deciding to sit next to him.

Kirby then had a thought, and decided to ask her about it. "Hey question, if this is a World of Dreams, does that mean anyone's dreams can be seen here?"

"Yes, the Slumbering Moon welcomes all guests to the World of Dreams." Milky Way Cookie confirmed "No matter what world they are from."

An idea popped into Kirby's head. "Hey, maybe if I found my friends' dreams, I could find out where some of them are!"

Milky Way Cookie tilted her head "Um, I don't think that will work. Dreams don't always reflect on where someone is, and even if they did, outsiders- aside from the Slumbering Moon- usually aren't allowed to enter others dreams unless it's part of a Dream Express' route."

"Express? Like a train?" Kirby asked.

"Yes!" Milky Way Cookie nodded, then did a proud pose "As you may have noticed, I am a train conductor! My train has been on many travels, all across The World of Dreams! I don't think it can help you find your friends though."

"Aw, that's okay." Kirby reassured her "I don't have a ticket anyway."

Milky Way Cookie then looked down at Kirby's hand. "You sure? Then what's that you're holding?"

"Huh? What do mean?" Kirby then held up his hand and his eyes widened when he saw that it was holding a ticket decorated in moons and stars. "WHA- Where did this come from?!?"

"Let me see it!" Milky Way Cookie held out her sleeve covered hand and Kirby handed the ticket to her. When she read the ticket, she gasped. "No way!"

"What?? What is it???"

"This ticket's destination is the Slumbering Moon herself!" Milky Way Cookie replied, holding the ticket up high "She must want to meet you!"

Kirby looked confused "Who's the Slumbering Moon??"
