Susie hummed while listening to her playlist and solving math and science problems from her old textbooks for fun. These days, she was able to solve at least 150 questions less than ten minutes, and she would get bored that she does something else to get rid of her boredom. She dusted her awards and degrees and looked back into the past when she first attended university. She would sometimes correct the professor because they either got the formula wrong, or they miscalculated some calculus problems. Those were the days... Susie thought as she gently touched her Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degree. Her university lifestyle was basically like a playground for children. Now that she earned so much money, she wanted to try out for a Professional degree. Although she loved working as Haltmann's secretary, she dreamed of becoming a professor at a university to teach future professors. Because she would always correct the professors' mistakes, she wanted to be one of the best professors.

"Susie, dear, may I come in?" Haltmann asked as he knocked on the door. 

"Please do, Mr. President," Susie said.

"What were you doing, my dear?" Haltmann asked.

"Looking at my degrees," Susie replied. "And... I was thinking that I may want to teach one day. But that is a conflict because I love working for your company also."

"You can always have two jobs," Haltmann said.

"Really?" Susie asked with her eyes wide open.

"Of course, I don't want to crush dreams of my favorite secretary," Haltmann said with a warm smile.

"Well, that's less concerning for me," Susie said.

"You're helping me achieve my dream," Haltmann said. "I'll never destroy yours."

"Well thank you," Susie said as she flipped her hair behind her. "By the way, did you need something from me?"

"Not really, but I was here to give you something," Haltmann said as he handed out a white envelope. 

Susie received it and opened it, and her eyes were widened by how much pay she received. "Really? This is twice as much as my usual!"

"Consider it as your increase," Haltmann said.

"Thank you, Mr. President," Susie said.

"You'll be needing that much for future tuitions if you want to finish your education," Haltmann said.

"You're very generous, Mr. President," Susie said.

"I'll be in my office now," Haltmann said as he exited. Haltmann went into his office and locked the door behind him. His office is pretty small, about half the size of Susie's room. Behind his gold and purple seat, there was a large gate. He pressed 57 buttons, which opened the gate. Behind the gate, there was a gigantic room, with an enormous robot. He continued to work on the robot. "My dreams are about to come true," Haltmann said as he screwed in the nails and arranged the resistors.

Tuff was playing video game ALL day. From the moment he woke up and until the sun was starting to set, he was in front of the television and game console, holding his game controller the whole time. With curtains closed, lights all off, blanket over him, bowls of snack next to him, his thumbs aggressively tapping on the controller, he was basically being a no-lifer who thinks that video games are only things he needs in life.

"Tuff! What are you think you're doing?" Lady Like asked in horror.

"You need to stop playing for today!" Sir Ebrum demanded, but it didn't sound like a demand with his gentle tone and voice.

"I don't wanna!" Tuff said.

"Just what do you think you're gonna be when you grow up?" Tiff asked in her criticizing tone.

"I'm gonna be a professional gamer!" Tuff said. Everyone else put their hands on their forehead and sighed.

"Professional, har har... he's gonna be the professional in being lazy..." Tiff said as she shook her head.

"Poyo...?" Kirby asked.

********

"Dreams? Well, there are two definitions for it," Meta Knight said.

"Poyo?" Kirby asked.

"One is an image that is going on in your head while sleeping," Meta Knight explained. "One other is your goals and desires."

"Poyo!" Kirby said understandingly.

"What's your dream?" Meta Knight asked.

"Poyo..." Kirby said as he looked down.

"You'll find it one day," Meta Knight said as he stepped forward and stroke Kirby's head.

"Poyo! Poyo?" Kirby asked.

"My dream? Um... well..." Meta Knight hesitated. His dreams were crushed by Nightmare Enterprises anyways. "Kirby, there are serving food for Waddle Dees right now. Why don't you go down there and have some?"

"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby said as he ran out to head to Waddle Dee's cafeteria. Meta Knight watched him leave and sighed silently.

Tiff dragged Tuff out so that he can get wash up and get some fresh air while Tuff was trying to resist. No matter how Tuff resisted, Tiff was still stronger that she was able to drag him to the bathroom so that he can take a shower. 

"Tiff! Let go! Let go!" Tuff screamed as he resisted.

"Mom and dad told you to take a shower two hours ago!" Tiff scolded. "You smell like homeless cappy when you're supposed to be the royal subject! Don't forget we're living in the castle! Act like one!"

When they arrived at the bathroom, Tiff pushed Tuff in the tub full of warm water. She already filled the tub with hot water, but by the time they arrived, the temperature was warm enough to not burn Tuff. She did not bother taking clothes off of her little brother, so she just pushed him in the tub.

"Tiff! What's wrong with you?!" Tuff screamed and muffled by the water running down from his head and to his face.

"Even if you like it or not," Tiff said. "You still need to keep your hygiene!"

"What's with all da fuss in here?!" Dedede screamed and asked as he burst in. Escargoon followed after him. "Whachu doin' in ma bathtub?!"

"You use it almost every day! Let us use it for once!" Tiff screamed back.

"It's his majesty's bath time!" Escargoon said.

"Shut it, Escargoon!" Tiff said. She was DEFINITELY not in the mood. "I wanted to practice writing to become an author, but here I am! Forcing my little brother to take a shower so that he can take a break from his dream of becoming a professional gamer!"

"Dream?!" Dedede asked.

"Dream?" Escargoon asked.

"Dream," Tiff confirmed. "I'm sure you have a dream!"

"My dream...?" Escargoon said. He imagined his dream. He was sitting on a throne. He ordered Dedede to fetch him his food, fetch his clothes, dust his room, clean the halls, give him a bath, cook for him, and do almost everything for him. Whenever Dedede disobeyed, he would slam his head with a mallet. He also chased Dedede around with a mallet whenever he tried to avoid Escargoon's command. In the end, he left a huge bump on his head with bruises and scars everywhere else in his body. 

Escargoon imagined with dreamy eyes and a stream of drool hanging from his mouth. 

"Escargoon! That's disgusting!" Tiff screamed as she was freaked out by the drool. 

"Wipe dat spit, ya nasty slug jug!" Dedede hammered Escargoon with his fist.

"Ow..." Escargoon groaned as he lied down on his face.

"What about you, Dedede?" Tiff asked. "Do you have a dream?"

"Dream?!" Dedede asked. "I don't need no dream!"

"Maybe you can dream about being the smartest person in the world because your grammar is way off," Tiff struck Dedede's bone with the unwanted fact. "But you seriously have no dream?"

"I need no dream!" Dedede said as he stormed off.

"I got a new dream now," Tiff said. "OF making him being the kindest king in the world."

"Honestly, I agree," Escargoon said as he raised his head. They fantasized:

Happy music was playing the background. Tiff and Escargoon skipped together in the palace. Dedede skipped towards, them with a happy smile across his face and basket of flowers and presented one to each Tiff and Escargoon. Dedede then wiped the sweat off of Escargoon and Tiff with different handkerchiefs and gave them to keep. Then balloons fell from nowhere as the three danced around with Waddle Dees joining them.

"But... that's kinda creepy..." Tiff said. "Ugh...ughghghg!" She shivered as goosebumps tiled through her skin.

"I think it'd be cute," Escargoon said, with dreamy eyes and drool sticking out from his mouth.

"Escargoon, why don't you join Tuff for the bath?" Tiff suggested. "You really need to snap out of reality."

"Heh..." Escargoon snickered as he continued to drool. 

Tiff shook her head, grabbed a hose, turned it on, and splashed Escargoon in the face. "Blbnblblblblblblblblblblblbll!" Escargoon blubbered as the water stream struck him in the face.

********

"Haltmann! HAAAAAAAAAALTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN!" Dedede screamed as he spammed the button.

"Yes, your majesty?" Haltmann appeared on the screen.

"I want a dream!" Dedede demanded.

"I can't make dreams," Haltmann said. "Dreams are made by the self individual. Please find someone else to find dreams. Bye~" Haltmann quickly disconnected.

"Wait! WAIT!" Dedede screamed as he spammed the button again and again until Haltmann counted exactly 214.

"Ugh! Your majesty! What do you want?!" Haltmann asked, very much irritated.

"Gimme sum tips of findin' ma dream!" Dedede demanded.

Haltmann let out a long, frustrated sigh and took out a pen and a piece of paper. "I can't believe I'm doing this..." he murmured under his breath so that Dedede can't hear. Then he cleared his throat and listed the question. "What is the thing you like the most?"

"Hmm! Ah' know! Messin' with Kirbay!" Dedede bellowed happily.

"Very good," Haltmann said. "Now your dream must be torturing Kirby for the rest of your life! And I have just a thing! All you need to do is agree to buy it from us, our company!"

"Bring it on!" Dedede exclaimed.

Haltmann sent the weird looking machine over. It looked like a mousetrap with multiple chains, multiple wires, and bulbs.

"What's dis'!?" Dedede asked.

"I would call it, Kirby trap!" Haltmann announced. "Basically put food on the tray, and when Kirby steps on the tile before the tray, he'll be trapped and will receive shocks! It's a foolproof plan!"

"I'm gonna buy it!" Dedede exclaimed happily.

"Go live your dream!" Haltmann said. "You must follow it!"

"I shall!" Dedede answered hysterically. 

"That'd be 80,000 D-bills," Haltmann said. Without reacting to his last statement, Dedede took the machine and ran off. "Okay, now he owes me in a total of 670,900 D-bills..."

********

Dedede went to the castle yard, placed watermelon on the plate and hid in the bush with a binocular and waited. A few moments later, Kirby skipped out happily humming 'poyo' multiple times. "Dat pink fluff came out just da right time!" Dedede exclaimed silently as he spied through his binoculars with a large, evil smirk across his face.

"Poyo?" Kirby noticed the watermelon on a large mousetrap. "Poyo!" Kirby happily ran towards it as he did not have watermelon for a while, which was two days. He went there to grab it, only to be trapped by the chains that he couldn't move. "Poyo... poyo..." Kirby groaned as he struggled.

"Time for revenge, ya li'l pink fluff of abomination!" Dedede said as he pressed the button that was on his hand. 

"POOOOOOYOOOOOO!" Kirby screamed as the electric shock flowed through his skin and inside of his body.

"Heh-heh-heh!" Dedede laughed hysterically with such satisfaction. "I got ya dis time without killin' ya!" 

"POOOOOOOYOOOOOOOOOO!" Kirby continued to scream in shock and pain. 

"What's going-" Tiff asked herself as she stepped out with Tuff and Escargoon following after with towels covering around them except their eyes, nose, and lips. Tiff gasped at the horrendous sight where Dedede was torturing Kirby with a large mousetrap. "Dedede! Knock it off!" Tiff screamed at Dedede.

"Ya don't tell me what tuh do!" Dedede screamed back. "Ya told me to follow mah dream and I'm doin' it!"

"I never told YOU to follow YOUR dream!" Tiff screamed.

Meta Knight's voice came across Kirby's head. He was there, but Kirby was not sure if Meta Knight was really there due to his lack of thought due to the shock. "Kirby! Concentrate! Inhale the spark!" Kirby did so, even though it took him a lot of effort to do so, and transformed into Spark Kirby.

"Use your sparks to destroy it!" Meta Knight coached.

Kirby released spark barrier. He was able to release himself from the mousetrap, but it was not strong enough to destroy the mousetrap. Kirby then called Robobot Armor. When the Robobot Armor arrived, he made the Robobot Armor scan himself so that it can be transformed into Spark Mode Armor. Kirby hopped on the Robobot Armor and released cannon blast, effectively destroying the mousetrap.

"NOOOOO! YOU DESTROYED MA DREAMM!!!" Dedede screamed.

"Dream is not a dream when it involves hurting someone!" Tiff scolded from a distance. "Nice try, Dedede! Good job Kirby!" 

"Poyo!" Kirby cheered as he turned into normal and hopped out from the seat into the air.
