Episode 41: Race Ace - Part 1
"Wow, did someone really record this?" Tiff asked as she watched the recorded video of last year's racecar race with Tuff, Iroo, Honey, and Spikehead at her room. "Ah! So that's how the mayor won the race!"
"He really deserved it," Tuff said.
"He was the only one who didn't cheat in the race," Honey said.
"Only cheater was Dedede!" Spikehead said.
"What about me?!" Dedede asked as he bursted in. "I know one of ya punk is talking behind my back!"
"Well then we'll say it in front of your big fat belly!" Tiff said. "We were just watching last year's race and we said that you were the only one who cheated in the race. Looks like you never win, even if you cheat so badly."
"In fact, you end up finishing last," Tuff said.
"Shut yo traps! Kids!" Dedede bellowed.
"You always say that when you have no counter argument," Tiff's roast was on the point.
"Y'all can just watch! I'll be da first place in dat car race even when I don't cheat!" Dedede said.
"Good luck with that," Tiff scoffed.
********
Dedede hurried to contact Susie. Tiff's taunt and roast made him extremely furious that he had to prove himself right.
"Yes, your majes-" Susie started her greeting until Dedede cut her off.
"I want me a racecar and a race track! Pronto!" Dedede said.
"Well, what got you in the mood to have a car race, your majesty?" Susie asked.
"I just wanna do it!" Dedede said. "No mo' questions!"
"Did someone taunt you for being bad at it?" Susie asked. "Or did someone make fun of you because you never win in this kind of activity even though you cheat?" Susie analyzed everything based on Dedede's personalities.
"Wow, Susie, how did you know?!" Escargoon asked as he walked towards Dedede's throne with the tray of Dedede's cake and tea for snack on his hands.
"You shut yo' pie hole!" Dedede said as he hammered Escargoon's head with his mallet, and the cake and tea splattered all over his head. "Just get me a racecar and race track!" He demanded to Susie.
"It may take some time, your majesty," Susie said.
"Why though?! I need it now!" Dedede asked before Susie was able to explain.
"First of all, sire," Susie started to explain after she rolled her eyes. "You must tell me how many people are competing, what kind of race track you want, what kind of cars you want, and all the other necessary parts and tools so that you can fix the cars and tracks. It's much more work than building a robot, your majesty. Well, at least in my opinion." She flipped her hair.
"Well, whachu want meh to do?!" Dedede asked.
"I'll send you a document that you are required to answer so that I can send you everything you want," Susie said.
"Now I half tuh fill out what?!" Dedede complained.
"This is the best way your majesty," Susie said. "Why don't you stay connected so that I can get back to you immediately when you don't understand some parts of the document?"
"We'll do that," Escargoon answered it for Dedede. "All right, your majesty, first question: how long do you want the track?"
"As long as possible! Mm-mm!" Dedede replied with his eyes closed, arms crossed, and head nodding.
"The longest we can give you is 2,000 meters," Susie said.
"All right, 2,000 it is then," Escargoon wrote down. "Next question, what kind of race cars do you prefer?"
"Like the ones we have! Mm-mm!" Dedede replied.
"Can I draw it out for you?" Escargoon asked.
"Sure, you can," Susie said.
"All right then," Escargoon said as he drew out the car. It was extremely sloppy. "Next, how many audiences will be there?" Before Dedede was able to answer, "I'll just write 200."
"Hey! What about my suggestion?!" Dedede said angrily.
"You don't even know how many people there are in Cappy Town," Escargoon said. Susie tried hard to not laugh. "All right, next question," Escargoon started to continue to fill out the document.
"What?! How many questions are there?!" Dedede asked.
"There should be about 35, your majesty," Susie replied.
"Why is there too much?!!" Dedede bellowed.
"I need that much information so that we can get you a perfect race track that you need," Susie replied.
"I can't take it no mo'!!" Dedede complained and stormed out the room and slammed the door behind him.
"I'll just fill out the document with my opinion," Escargoon said.
"Go ahead," Susie said. "Jeez, it's not like he is filling out the form."
"I need to teach him to write," Escargoon said. "I only taught him how to read."
Susie sighted with frustration and put her hand over her eyes and forehead.
"Well, I think I just finished this," Escargoon said and sent the documents over.
"Hmm... hmm... mmm..." Susie mumbled as she read through the documents. "Well, yes, you have everything I asked for. I'll send you the workers right away. Payments will be available after the construction, which will last for an hour or two."
"Thank you," Escargoon said.
Susie sent the workers right away. They looked exactly like the ones who built the golf course and the rocket.
"Are they the same workers?" Escargoon asked.
"Yes, they are all engineers and architect, they can pretty much build anything," Susie said. "I'll keep this transporter on until they are done with building your racetrack."
"Thank you so much!" Escargoon said.
"Don't forget to tell me who's going to be in the race," Susie said. "And make sure Kirby will be in the race.
"Gotcha! By the way, can you be the announcer for the race?!" Escargoon suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea..." Susie confessed. "Some cappies may remember my face, and some may know my identity. Especially Meta Knight."
"It's fine!" Escargoon insisted. "Come on, please~" His eyes started to shimmer like a pond reflecting the sunlight.
Susie let out a sigh and said, "Fine, I'll do it."
"Yes! You'll be the best announcer ever!" Escargoon cheered.
"Oh dear... hope this turns out alright," Susie said.
********
After the racetrack was built, Dedede made Waddle Dees pass out flyers that recruited racers.
"Another race?" Mayor asked.
"Looks like we're gonna win another trophy, my dear," Hana said.
"I got a bad feeling about this," Chief Bookem said.
"Nothing bad happened last time, did it? I think we should go," Buttercup said.
"Well, I predict, the king is going to lose again," Mabel said.
"I believe so," Samo agreed.
"Another one?! Dedede's up to something really bad!" Tiff said.
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby was definitely excited.
"There's another race, Meta Knight!" Sword Knight said.
"Rouler plucore!" Blade Knight said.
"..." Meta Knight did not respond in any way.
"Meta Knight, you're not gonna do it are you?" Tiff asked.
"If Kirby wants to do it, I will," Meta Knight said.
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby definitely wanted to give the race another shot.
"Well, he wants to do it, promise you'll not let anything bad happen to him," Tiff pleaded.
"Of course," Meta Knight said.
"I wonder what his intention is..." Tiff wondered.
"Heh-heh-heh! The gold trophy is mine!" Dedede bellowed.
"I hope..." Escargoon said under his breath. "Just make sure you do not mess up, your majesty."
"Whachu mean? You're drivin!" Dedede said.
"Well, good, don't make me distracted by anything," Escargoon said.
"Did you guys set up the thing that I asked up to?" Susie asked the builders. They all nodded yes. "Good... good... that pink fluff is really going to get it!" She chuckled by her evil plan. "Even if this fails, I have plenty of other ways to turn your pink circle flat like a plate. No one will get in the way of President Haltmann!" She laughed evilly for few seconds, then her joy turned into concern. "Oh dear oh dear oh dear oh dear... I hope I can announce well..." She took a deep breath.

"Weeeeelcome to Cappy Town's! Second race of aaaaall time!" Susie's enthusiastic voice on microphone echoed in the race track. Every cappies cheered as her enthusiastic voice flew through the air. "Whoooo's ready for some speedy exciiiiiiitemeeeeeent~?!" Cappies' cheers roared throughout the tracks.
Susie introduced every racers as cappies' cheers calmed down. "As we can see there, look at our lovely racers there:
On the first lane! The most handsome and daring king and the most loyal servant of all time! Dedede and Escargoooooon!" Dedede and Escargoon waved, but no one cheered.
"On the second lane! The most dashing Star Warrior! Meeeta Kniiiiiiight!" Susie felt disgusted when she said that, but she had to act natural and stay calm. Meta Knight waved once. Everyone, especially female cappies, screamed with joy.
Susie is the announcer... she's definitely up to something... Meta Knight thought.
Susie... what is she up to...? Tiff wondered.
"On the third lane! The most respected mayor of all time and his lovely wife! Mayor Len Bluuuuustergas and Haaanaaaaaaa!" Every cappies cheered for their favorite mayor and his wife.
"On the fourth lane! The cutest pink ball-shaped Star Warrior! Kiiiiiiirbyyyyy!" Susie said. By the time, she wanted to vomit.
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby cheered. Kirby had the loudest cheer. They expected Kirby to be first place this time.
"As soon as these racer are ready with their cars, we'll get started as soon as possible! Please take this time to use the restroom or grab something to eat!" Susie announced.
"Hot dogs! Popcorn! Sodas!" Kawasaki announced as he walked through the stairs to sell his food. Thankfully, few cappies bought them, but as always, they were not satisfied with the taste.
"Escargoon! Come on! Get dat motor work properly!" Dedede bellowed.
"I'm on it sire!" Escargoon screamed back.
Meta Knight silently shined his car.
"We better get that gold trophy again!" Hana said.
"Oh honey, just be glad that today is not our anniversary," Mayor said.
"Kirby, be safe, all right?" Tiff said as she made sure everything in his car was properly working.
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby answered.
"All right, all racers ready?!" Susie announced. Every racers had their motors on. "Now, ready... get set... five... four... three... two... one... GO!!!"
They all stepped on their gas pedals. The race has begun.
A/N: My documents never come in time so I have to redo the whole Driver License process all over again... and I commute to school... So I wrote a chapter about car race so I can have less stress and rage with my whole Driver License issue...
Btw, so sorry for the wait. Major writer's block here, but I really want to do it on my own. Hope y'all understand.
