Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part Two Chapter Twenty-Five

"Ah if you ever need help in learning to have bravery, I can help out with that!" GingerBrave told her.

"That'd be nice."

Silence came over the two again for a moment.

"So, does your world have Cookies? And if yes, are there living ones in it too?" GingerBrave asked her.

"We do have cookies, but there aren't any sentient ones. At least, not that I know of, but if there were, I assure you we wouldn't eat them." she promised "(Well, Marx would, and maybe Gooey. Kirby... he'd hopefully only eat them if they were trying to cause harm.) If I do ever end up meeting a living Cookie in my world, I would definitely befriend it. As would my friends."

GingerBrave smiled. "I'm sure you all would, you're all good friends to us after all!"

Adeleine looked at him. "You... really trust us that much?"

"Yeah! Why wouldn't I? You and your friends have been super kind to us! Err, okay Marx has been a lot, but Gumball Cookie and the Cherry sisters seem to like him at least, so even he's not all bad! You're good folks, I can tell."

"...Even me?" Adeleine asked.

GingerBrave winked. "Especially you."

An appreciative smile grew on Adeleine's face, she raised her hand to GingerBrave. "Thank you GingerBrave."

GingerBrave smiled back, and gave her a high five. "No problem Adeleine! You're cool, I promise."

"Thank you." she continued to smile "You don't suppose you could keep the fact I am a human a secret though, could you? I don't know if the other Cookies would be as understanding as you are."

"Hmm, probably not." GingerBrave agreed "Don't worry! I promise I won't tell anyone else, unless you feel comfortable with telling them."

"Would Strawberry Cookie and Wizard Cookie understand?"

"Ummm..." GingerBrave seemed unsure "Maybe? If you don't feel comfortable telling them, you don't have to! But if you do, and they understand, I promise you they'll help keep it a secret! We'll be your trio of secret keepers!"

"Heh, thank you."

Adeleine wiped some of the sweat off her forehead. "It's honestly kind of relieving to talk to someone about this, being turned into a Cookie has been a lot."

"I can imagine!" GingerBrave said "Going from super mega tall to our size? I'd probably have trouble getting used to it too!"

"Yeah, except I am sadly not that tall, since I am still a kid/preteen."

"True, but as a fellow adolescent, I assure you we'll both become super tall when we're older!"

"Heh, that'd be nice." Adeleine chuckled, her face then went contemplative "There is something that's been confusing me since I found out there were humans in this world though. If this world has humans, then why was I turned into a Cookie?"

GingerBrave tilted his head. "Hm, I'm not sure. Maybe the vortex that sent you and your friends here transformed you into one so you'd fit in more?"

"Maybe, but it could also be due to something else." she told him "Maybe it has something to do with the world itself?"

"I don't know..." GingerBrave then got an idea "Say, if you're comfortable with telling him, we could ask my friend Pure Vanilla Cookie!"

"Would... he keep my identity as a human a secret if we told him?" Adeleine questioned.

"Yeah! I'm sure he would! He's a good friend! He'll be able to help you, just like how he's going to help out tomorrow, I know it."

Adeleine's face beamed as she nodded. GingerBrave was such a kind friend.
