     “Break time!”

     An exasperated sigh dropped Adeleine to the ground, bookbag slipping quick off her back. She and Ribbon had been walking and flying respectively for a while now, traveling through the planet's prettiest sights. So a camping sight on the mountain's sunsetting peak was the perfect way to end the day. 

     From her bag, a blanket was laid out, snacks set up and large tent painted, laid down with a light hanging from the inside. It was time to relax with Ribbon after exploring the day away with her.

     “Kirby!!” 

     Oh man, it was always the best to see her friend Kirby! Adeleine wasted no time in giving the puff a hug, nuzzling into him before giving a pat to his head. “Want something painted, buddy? Coming right up!”

     With a swirl of color here, a dash of life there, the artist went to work! And right off the bat, it was clear what she was drawing. It was a beautiful Strawberry Shortcake, topped with the name of the delicacy and multiple more laced within the soft body of it all. Luscious whipped cream piled on for maximum fluffy deliciousness! It was great! Except it wasn't a simple slice. Oh no. It was an entire cake!

     A finishing touch of a place circled underneath, slapping the cake off the easel and handing it off to Kirby. “It's the least I could do. Enjoy! ...Wait.”

     Don’t ask how she'd gotten in, when she'd gotten in, or why she'd come in in the first place. Because she probably didn't remember either, thanks to every bit of her brain being honed in on this card game she'd been playing on the floor of Dedede's castle with three other Waddle Dees. If the silence was anything, it was pretty serious.
