“Lucky,” he pouted. “I wish I had wings. Meta says I might get them when I’m older.”
He sighed before narrowing his eyes. With a nod, he jumped onto the stalk and started to run to the new island.
“Come on, Ribbon,” he called.
“Right behind you!”
Funny how there's no dialogue or even description of Ribbon's reaction to that statement.
Here, have a little snippet of what I think was going through her mind in those few moments.
Funny how a single sentence could so easily cause Ribbon's train of thought to derail and explode.
Wings.
Kirby.
Kirby with WINGS.
Ribbon wondered what they would look like. Would they be leathery and bat-like, like Sir Meta Knight's? Would they be feathered and soft, like a bird's? Or maybe...
...maybe...
...they'd be fairy wings. Like hers.
' That would certainly be... something ' Ribbon thought, her face heating up.
Several pink-tinted fantasies played through the young fairy's mind.
Kirby's wings fluttering and buzzing with his ever-present joy and excitement.
Ribbon soaring through the air alongside Kirby, held aloft by their wings and emotions.
A tender embrace. Kirby giving her a warm hug, one of his wings gently wrapping around her and briefly brushing against one of her own.
' WH-WHAT AM I THINKING?! ' Ribbon mentally chastised herself, smacking her beet-red face with both hands in an effort to banish the naughty thoughts.
Really, she should know better than to... to fantasize about something so... so... risque! And besides, Sir Meta Knight had said Kirby only might grow wings! It wasn't guaranteed!
' Wait. ' Ribbon thought, ' How does Sir Meta Knight know that Kirby might grow wings one day? '
"Come on, Ribbon!" Kirby's voice called, snapping Ribbon out of her musings.
She looked up to see Kirby running up the stalk to the next island.
"R-right behind you!"
Ribbon fluttered her wings and raced after her crush friend, strange thoughts shoved into the back of her mind.
For now at least. She would revisit those thoughts later.
1. Because it's funny. 2. Because it's cute. 3. Because Cody has already characterized Ribbon as having frequent, pink-tinted fantasies about her favorite pink puff. 4. All of the above.
Really shows how long I've been away from this fic that I, it's actual creator, could not for the life of me remember what incident established Ribbon as having fantasies.
I swear to Nova, it was like five minutes of going, "Did I? I think I did. Mind seems to think I did, so I must have. But what was it?"
3 minutes later:
Me: (Slapping my forehead) THE WEDDING DREAM. I FORGOT ABOUT THE WEDDING DREAM!
That's okay. Brains are dumb like that sometimes. I'm just happy to see this fic is back! You make Kirby and Ribbon weapons-grade adorable. And they were just plain weapons-grade to start with!
