Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part Two Chapter Twenty-Seven

Chapter 27: Ursa Major

That night, as what was becoming the norm for Kirby in this world whenever he fell asleep, he awoke to find himself in the World of Dreams. The timing for this particular visit was a bit awkward, as he had woken up within the dream world right when the train was at the latest station he needed to go to.

Something he quickly found out thanks to being woken up by Milky Way Cookie making an announcement.

"Attention all passengers! The Sugarcloud Express will be departing from Ursa Major Station in five minutes! Please prepare for immediate boarding."

Hearing this, Kirby immediately stood up on his seat and looked out the window to see that the train was at a huge train station that was decorated head to toe with Bear Jelly themed decor.

As quick as a flash, Kirby got down from his seat and ran out of the train car to quickly explore the train station.

Upon exiting the train, Kirby was almost immediately discovered by Milky Way Cookie.

"Kirby!! There you are!" she called out to him, holding onto her telescope as she bolted over to where he was standing, her twintails bouncing around a little as she ran.

"(*Pant, pant*) Cutting it a bit close there huh? You almost missed this station, and I think that would have been bad for your assignment."

"I know! Apologies for the timing!" Kirby glanced around the station "I heard you say the train was leaving soon, but do I have enough time to explore it briefly?"

"Yes, but make it quick! We'll be departing in five-ish minutes and I can't delay the departure! So go as fast as you can and come back!"

"Okay! I'll do just that!"

With that promise, Kirby sprang forward and started looking around the station as fast as he could, bringing out his special train ticket as he ran.

(Let's see, if the last station I went to was any indication, then maybe I'll find another star here somewhere and it'll go into my ticket as well!) Kirby thought (But I don't see any stray stars here so far...)

Searching the station as closely- and as quickly- as he could, Kirby wasn't able to find any stars, but he was able to see and admire the train station's decor. Unlike the other stations, this station was less industrial looking and more natural with parts of it that kinda resembled a cute little park. Throughout the station there were fences that separated the station from a chain of starry fields that surrounded it. Along the fences were some signs that Kirby couldn't read, but he was able to see drawings of what appeared to be Bear Jellies drawn onto them. He wondered what they meant.

While Kirby was searching, he eventually came across a little area just behind the station's main building where the fence looked out onto what almost looked like a little habitat. Kirby was very invested by this, did this mean there were magical space animals in this world?

Gazing out into the habitat, Kirby saw what almost looked like a giant tree, yet it blended so well with the starry sky, it was almost hard to tell if it was a tree or a constellation. Said supposed tree was surrounded by what looked like floating Bear Jelly heads that had little magically colored waterfalls coming out of their mouths and created little pools that brought an air of tranquility.

As his eyes gazed around, Kirby noticed something that made him squint his eyes a bit. The apparent tree had a little hollow near its trunk, and they could swear something was inside it...

"Hello? Anyone there?" Kirby tried calling out.

There wasn't a response, just the burble of the dreamy waterfalls.
