Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part Two Chapter Twenty-Five

The Waddle Dee trio however, seemed unsure. "Hmm, I believe so Great King."

Dedede noticed the tone in the Waddle Dee's voice. "Something up?"

"We'll talk to you about it in the morning," said the smallest one "goodnight Great King!"

The Waddle Dee trio made there way upstairs, followed by Kirby, Adeleine, and Elfilin, who all said goodnight to GingerBrave and friends. Chuckling, Dedede followed after them.

"Should we be off then?" Strawberry Cookie asked as she watched the Popstar folks head upstairs.

"(*Yawn!) Yup, I'm gonna go over to my Cookie House." Custard Cookie III told his friends "See you in the morning."

Leaving with a wave, Custard Cookie III walked out of the inn, leaving GingerBrave, Wizard Cookie, and Strawberry Cookie to stand alone together in the lobby.

"I'm actually going to have a chat with the innkeeper." said Wizard Cookie "Depending on how tomorrow and future endeavors go, we could be needing more rooms for Kirby's friends, so I'm going to discuss with the innkeeper about it."

"That's nice." Strawberry Cookie nodded happily "We'll wait right here for you."

GingerBrave nodded too. Realizing he now had some spare time, he turned towards the staircase, a contemplative look on his face.

Up stairs, Bandana Dee and the other Waddle Dees had headed inside their room- saying goodnight before doing so- while Adeleine helped carry Elfilin into his, Kirby, and Dedede's room. At the door, she was going to ask if anyone had seen Magolor, only to open it and find Magolor already inside the room, sitting alone at the small table.

"Hey." he simply greeted.

"Oh, there you are." Adeleine greeted back, following Kirby into the room as the pink puff led the way to his and Elfilin's bunk.

Dedede walked up to the mage, noticing he seemed pretty glum, evident by his solemn expression and how he was resting his hands on the sides of his face.

"You okay?" the king asked.

"Meh." Magolor grunted, his ears slightly droopy.

"Yo, what's up with Maggy?" Marx suddenly said, peaking his head into the doorway.

Dedede glanced at him. "Marx, shouldn't you be in your room?"

"I was, but no one had said goodnight to me yet, so I came over to fix that!" he answered, walking into the room and prodding Magolor with his foot "Why the long face Maggy?"

Magolor pushed his foot away, which just made Marx use it to prod him even more. Frustrated, he full on gave his foot a shove, causing the jester to stumble.

"Leave me alone Marx."

Dedede closed the door, then walked over and sat down next to Magolor. "What happened?"

Magolor sighed. "I tried to go Prune Juice Cookie's vacation home and talk to him, but he never answered the door, and it sucks because he's leaving tomorrow as well, so that might've been my last chance to talk to him."

"That potion guy?" Marx questioned, getting back up "Where's he heading off tomorrow?"

"I don't know, and I don't think I'll be able to find out in time."

"Hey, he might've just been asleep, why do you need to talk to him?" asked Dedede.

Magolor recalled something. "Oh wait, I never told you. So... Dedede, you know how you suddenly got a big speed boost at the end of the Gourmet Race today and that helped you earn second place?"
