Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part Two Chapter Twenty-Five

No, I've never met that Cookie, but his name sounds familiar... Did someone tell me it?...

As Kirby dealt with this, Adeleine kept talking to the Cookie trio. "Thank you so much, I'm so sorry we didn't show this to you sooner, but-"

"It's fine." Strawberry Cookie told her "Thank you for showing us now."

"Yeah, we can understand wanting to keep it a secret." GingerBrave winked at Adeleine, who smiled in response "Especially after crashing into a new world! You're totally fine."

"And we'll help you solve its mystery, mark my word!" Wizard Cookie affirmed "As prodigy of magic, I will make sure this magical mystery will be solved!"

Adeleine beamed, as did Kirby. "Thank you all so much! Glad we could show you this! Sorry we kept you up for it, we should probably go to bed now."

"No worries!" said GingerBrave "Thank you for showing us!"

Strawberry Cookie yawned. "But you're right, we should be getting some sleep."

"See you in the morning!" Wizard Cookie waved his wand as he and the rest of the trio left, the other two waving goodbye as well.

Kirby and Adeleine both waved goodbye as they watched them go. Once they were gone, they turned to face each other.

"That went great!" Adeleine smiled.

Kirby lowered his face to the staff. "See Spelltwister Cookie? I told you it'd be fine!"

Hm... I don't know... I still don't trust them...

"That's fine, I'm sure you'll trust them soon!"

. . .

"What's all the commotion about?" Dedede yawned, sitting up from the sofa bed.

"Nothing to worry about Dedede." Adeleine told him "Good news though, we might not need to use your golf bag to carry around the staff anymore!"

Dedede yawned again. "Sweet, but it's fine if you still need to. (*Yawn!*)"

Dedede laid back down, and Adeleine let out a yawn herself. "I'm going to go to my room now, I'm pretty tired. Thank you Kirby."

Kirby raised his little hand for Adeleine to shake. "Thank YOU Adeleine!"

Shaking Kirby's hand, Adeleine wished them sweet dreams, and walked out of the room to head over to hers next door, closing the door behind her.

Once she was gone, Magolor floated over to Kirby. "Did you get any answers about the staff?"

"Kinda! We now know the crystal part is called a Cosmo Crystal!" Kirby told him.

"Cosmo Crystal? Oooh..." Magolor shook his head "Nevermind that though, can you put the staff away? There's something I want to ask you about it."

Kirby raised an eyebrow. "Okay, sure thing."

Kirby? What's this about?

(I don't know.) Kirby responded in his mind, walking over to the golf bag and putting the staff inside it (But I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.)

Once the staff was safe within the golf bag, Kirby skipped back over to Magolor. "Yes? Poyo?"

"I've been thinking... you say that this 'Spelltwister Cookie' doesn't trust others, despite her situation and the fact that most of the Cookies we've met have been very trustworthy."

Kirby hummed. "Maybe she's just shy."

"Perhaps, and yet..." Magolor continued "She says we can't trust them, but why should we trust her?"
