Kirby Run Part one and Two

Part Two Chapter Twenty-Seven

"I'm so sorry that happened to you!" Kirby sympathized.

Space Doughnut made a little humming sound. "Kyu-kyou."

The hug between the two of them lasted for a few moments, endeared by the sweet display of genuine sympathy and kindness, Milky Way Cookie scooted closer and joined in on the hug.

"Aw thanks Milky Way Cookie." Kirby said in response to her joining the hug, Space Doughnut wiggled their ears to show they were happy as well.

"He he, glad to participate."

After a few more seconds, the three finished the hug and Milky Way Cookie's smile grew. "Good news is Space Doughnut should be safe from all that now, and they have friends like me and Stardust Cookie."

A sweet smile formed on Kirby's face too. "That's super nice to hear! And hey,"

Kirby turned his entire body to Space Doughnut with his arms held up. "you and I are definitely best friends now, right?"

Eyes sparkling, Space Doughnut did a happy little bounce. "Kyyu! Kyu-kyu!"

What happened next made Kirby giggle like crazy, as Space Doughnut proceeded to pick Kirby up with their limbs and nuzzle him a bunch.

"Hahaha! You're welcome, Space Doughnut! Say, if I'm ever able to bring Elfilin into this world, would you like me to introduce you to him?"

"Kyyu-quo! Kyu kyu!" Kirby's extraterrestrial friend enthusiastically agreed.

"Then I shall gladly do so!" the pink Cookie puff decided, giving Space Doughnut another hug as they continued to nuzzle him.

"Aw, you two are cute." Milky Way Cookie commented as she observed her friends "I'd definitely like to meet this mysterious Elfilin too. On the subject of him actually, I'll be sure to look more into that popping up into others dreams thing you mentioned."

Space Doughnut set their pink friend back down, who proceeded to look at Milky Way Cookie. "You will? Thank you!"

"Heh, my pleasure." she winked "From what you told me, it does sound like the other half that joined back with him that had mind/dream powers could be the cause, which if that is indeed the case I might know what's going on, but I'll have to do some research to check and make sure I'm correct, meaning I'll have to read a bunch."

A yawn escaped from Milky Way Cookie. "Another thing to add to my to do list... (*Yawn*)"

"You don't have to help out if you don't want to." Kirby said, not wanting his conductor friend to overwork herself.

"Nah it's fine. It's not that much of a problem for me, plus it's at least more interesting than the other things I have to do for work."

"Speaking of which." Milky Way Cookie checked the clock in the train car, then got down from her seat "My break is just about over, so I've got to head back to managing this train and all the going ons."

"Aw, okay." Kirby watched her walk away "Want me to help you like last time?"

"That's sweet of you Kirby, but considering how last time went, I think I'd better take care of this myself. Besides, our current route is going to take us through a pretty perilous field soon, and I've got to make sure this train and it's passengers are ready for when we-"

Thud!

"Wah!" Kirby jumped in response to the sudden noise, Space Doughnut and the two passengers that were in the train car with our trio looking spooked as well "What was that??"

"Ah, sounds like we reached it." Milky Way Cookie said calmly "One sec."

Waddling up the hallway, Milky Way Cookie made her way to the front end of the train car and pulled out a little phone/intercom that was attached to the wall near the train car door. She then pressed some buttons and began speaking into the phone to make an announcement for everyone on the train to hear.
