Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part One Chapter Nine

"She's the one who looks after the World of Dreams," Milky Way Cookie started telling him "she's very powerful, and watches over all cookies when they sleep. If you want to find your friends, she can help!"

Kirby smiled widely. "She can?! That's great! And you can take me to her?"

"Kind of, your ticket is assigned to my train so you can definitely board my train to get to her. The problem is that this express train's current route is quite long, and due to some, um... incidents," Milky Way Cookie sweated "I'm not allowed to take the train off its course anymore. Nor am I allowed to leave it. Technically I can, but then I'd get in trouble again, and I'm already risking getting in trouble by parking it so I can talk to you. So if you want to meet the Slumbering Moon, you'll have to go for a LONG train ride."

Milky Way Cookie looked at the ticket again. "Honestly given that, I'm surprised you weren't given a ticket that assigned you to one of our trains that takes guests straight to her or Wizard's Way Station, but you're ticket was specifically assigned to this train and it's current route. Hmm... kinda strange..."

"Something up?" Kirby questioned.

"Eh, don't worry about it. The main point is, I can take you to your ticket's destination, but it'll take awhile, and I can't prioritize you without getting in trouble."

"Oh, well I don't want you to get in trouble." Kirby said, standing up "A long train ride in a dream world sounds fun! I don't mind how long it'll take."

Milky Way Cookie smiled and stood up herself. "In that case, let's go!" she then pulled out a conductor's whistle and blew it "All aboard the Sugarcloud Express!"

Milky Way turned around, looked at her surroundings, then shrugged "As soon as I remember where I parked the train..."

"I'll help you find it!" Kirby nodded, and started following Milky Way Cookie.

Thus, the two starry beings started to look around the area together, in search of a train.

Halfway through their search however, Kirby started feeling funny, and looked at his hand. A look of alarm appearing as he did so, as he saw that his hand was disappearing!

"Uhh, Milky Way Cookie? What's happening to me????" he asked in a panicked tone.

Milky Way Cookie quickly turned around and frowned when she saw Kirby was disappearing "Aw, you're waking up!"

"Oh." Kirby sighed with relief, but then realized that this meant he couldn't help Milky Way Cookie find her train. "Sorry!"

"It's okay!" she reassured him "Next time you dream, you'll likely come back here! So you can board the train then! And I'll have found it by then, hopefully..."

"What about my ticket?" Kirby asked.

Milky Way Cookie walked up to him and handed him back the ticket. "It doesn't have an expiration date, so you can still use it when you come back! Until then, see you later Kirby of the Stars!"

Kirby smiled, then yawned as he felt his consciousness start to return to reality. "See you later, Milky Way Cookie!"

Kirby woke up and saw that he was back in the room he, Elfilin, and Magolor were staying in.

Turning to his left, he saw Elfilin was curled up next to him and smiled.

Looking closer however, Kirby saw that Elfilin looked uneasy as he slept. Worried, Kirby brought up the blankets closer to him, hoping it would make him more comfortable.
