| Kirby: I'm feeling mixed emotions here.. I don't know whether or not to be thrilled that this seems sidequest-y and short.. Be angry about wasting time... Or feel happy about a couple wanting to be with each other.
Kirby gave out a sigh as everyone arrived at the the port. Lo and behold, there was the Pianta couple they had setout to look for. Kirby: Hey! You two! Francesca: Hey, back off, you creep! You got something to say, or you like sidling up to people? Kirby: What...? Nevermind that. Look: The Don asked me to look for you two, and to have you two go see him. Francesca: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!? The yellow Pianta turns around to look the other Pianta. Francesca: Frankie, what should we do? If Daddy finds us now... Oh, I don't know... and the boat's coming any minute... Frankie: Dollface... Maybe we oughta head back and try to talk to da boss one more time. Francesca: No, Frankie! Don't say that! Don't you know what he'll do to you if we do that? Frankie: Francesca... Babydoll... If we can just talk calm-like wit' da boss, he'll understand. Francesca: Oh, Frankie... My Frankie.... Don't you love me? Francesca: Of course I love you, sugar cookie. More dan anybody in da whole world! Francesca: Then let's go, Frankie! Let's run! To the ends of the earth if we have to! At this point, there was a rather dull look on Kirby's face, as well as a hint of crimson pigments. Frankie: But, butter biscuit... Dey already found us out. We can't keep runnin' forever. Francesca: We can, Frankie! The more you try to put out the flames of love, the hotter they burn! Until I marry you, no one will extinguish these flames of passion! NO ONE!!! *turns around and looks at Kirby* Don't you see, Mister? I beg you: pretend you never saw us! Can you do that? Kirby: But.. I... *sighs* Of course  ;;
Francesca: Thank you, Mister! You're a really swell guy! Real standup! |

| Kirby: ... Ahum... I dunno.
Kirby turned around and started walking away from the port. Kirby: I'm not fond of that thing about our luck turning, but maybe we should try talking to the Don again. We could go and tell him that we couldn't find them. Of course, if he tries to start something, I wouldn't mind busting some skulls. |

| Grey: "Actually..."
He considers for a few seconds, and grins. "Technically, we found out where they are. Whether or not he can go searching for them is up to him. What do we care if he knows where they are now, as long as they're not here when he is? I don't think he can catch up to these guys; They're fueled by something he ain't." |

| Fem: Hmm... *pulls out tricorder and pretends to scan the air* According to these readings we should go back and tell Don Pianta that we found them, and that even though we will do so everything will be okay.
Jack: ... You've got the script on there, don't you? Fem: ...  |

Kirby: Variable script!  Can't you people get it through your heads, even after all these years?!
A nice little walk and walking across a bridge later...... The Don: Look who's come back. Da pineapple head and his little goonies. Youse gonna brighten my mood? So give. What you got? You know da wehreabouts of dese two runaways? Kirby: I.. Kirby looks at Fem for a moment, then turns to the Don. Kirby: Can't tell you that. The Don: What? I must be goin' deaf. Did you just say to me dat you couldn't tell me? You come waltzin' in here an' say dat to me? To ME?!? Do I look like a sucker to you? I warned you, wise guy! We're gonna need a mop pick up what's left of you! Kirby noticed Vincent and Jules were inside the room, cracking their knuckles. Kirby: Fine, I wouldn't mind a good scrap right now. Francesca: Daddy, wait! Francesca and Frankie quickly run inside the building, panting pretty hard. Kirby: Aw man, I really wanted to fight, too... Can't believe your "intuition" was right, Fem |

| Grey: "So I guess I don't need this, then?"
His baseball bat disappeared in a puff of smoke. "This seems very cliche, though. A female heroine coming in at the last moment to confess and such. I'd have liked the surprise ending more, myself." He looked around the room at the large goons, and reconsidered, remembering what his buddies used to do with Zangief back home. |

Kirby: *looks at Fem* .... You're kidding me 
The Don: Francesca! Frankie: Boss! Forgive me, Boss! I-I'm sorry! Truly I am! The Don: Frankie! So! Back you come, head hung low an' wit' your tail between your legs! Francesca: No, Daddy! Don't hurt him! I'm the one who said we should elope! It was ME! But Frankie said no! He said we should come back to talk to you, Daddy! Frankie: Boss! Listen, I don't care what you do to me! I deserve it all for bein' disloyal! But you gotta forgive her. Forgive your daughter Boss! Dat's all I ask. Francesca: No, Daddy! No! No! No! I'm the bad one. It's my fault! If you're going to punish anyone, punish me! Frankie: No Boss! It's all on me. It's my responsibility! All da blame, right here. It seems like the two kept inching closer and closer to the Don, standing infront of each other. Francesca: Daddy! Frankie: Boss! Kirby: Holy cucco, this has got to be the biggest waste of time... Grey, I'm with you on that secret ending. The Don: YAAAAAARRRGGH! Enough! QUIET! BOTH OF YOU! Francesca! My headstrong daughter... You used up your last favor long ago! An' you, Frankie! You were like a son to me! Dis is how you repay your debt to Don Pianta? I feel such disappointment in you two, it's like a Poison Shroom in my gut. The Pianta Mafia boss turns his back on the two. The Don: I don't ever wanna see your mugs again! You hear me? Get outta my sigh! Both of you! I don't care where, just go!! That's what you wanted, huh? Then that's what I'm sayin'! Go! Do what you want! Even if it means gettin' married! Francesca: Oh, Daddy!!!!!! ♥ Frankie: Dad! ...No! Wait, I mean... BOSS!!!!!!!!! ♥ Francesca: Thank you so much, Daddy! Thanks for your blessing! Frankie: Boss! I'll make your daughter a happy woman! I promise you! She'll want for nothin'! The Don: Enough already! Just go! GO! *sniff* Kirby: We can stop taking the backseat to the story anytime now... |

| Grey spoke almost inaudibly through the side of his mouth. After a few seconds of stealth movement, the sound waves reached Kirby's ear...
Grey: "Kirb... This is bullshit... What are we doing here...? There's gotta be a better way to get a blimp ticket than this." He twirled his baseball bat behind his back, which had reappeared discreetly as the drama went on. It was just itching to hit something... Anything to make this stop. (thinking) 'What's worse now, is that because we didn't fulfill the Don's wishes, he won't be giving us that blimp ticket any time soon. I'd have much rather beat it out of him.' |

| Francesca: Goodbye, Daddy! And thank you so much!
Fracesca and Frankie quickly head out the door. Kirby looked at Grey, and then looked at Don Pianta. Kirby: ... aHEM! The Don: You still here? Kirby: Yeah
The Don: Hmph! Well, you found my daughter an' got her to come back here.. Kirby: In a manner of speaking.. The Don: An' just lookit how things turned out! What a complete an' utter soap opera! But hey, a deall's a deal. You can have your blmp tickets, like I said. The Don tosses a pile of VIP tickets onto the desk, and then turns around. The Don: Who knew? Dat guy's got her smilin' ear to ear! She's.. happy. Dat's good. Hey, I knew you were da right man for da job. Thanks a bunch, pally. But I don't ever wanna see your mugs no more. Don't ever come back here! Kirby: Say no more. Kirby yoinked a ticket for himself and started walking towards the door. |

| With a ticket floating in the air beside his head, Grey trudged out the door of the Don's room, and went on ahead of Kirby to the outside. He clutched his baseball bat firmly as he slammed the door to the mafioso house behind him, snatched his ticket from the air, jammed it into his pocket, and immediately swung his bat at a nearby trashcan, slamming it so hard that it dented about halfway into its structure, ripped out of the ground, and toppled over. Amazingly enough, nothing poured out of it. In fact, it, much like every other trash can around it, was mysteriously empty. Grey paid this no heed as he hurled his bat into the air and it disappeared upon leaving his hand.
As they exited the building, the rest of the group would find him calmly standing next to the trash can, which now floated a few feet off the ground as Grey meticulously pulled the dents out of it via telekinesis. He set it back on the ground gently and clapped his hands together, transmuting it back into its former pristine state upon laying his hands on its battered surface. As soon as everyone had assembled outside, he smiled and approached, his usual pleasant demeanor having returned. Grey: "Well, that could have all been avoided rather easily, hm? Seems we've got some tickets. Let's go!" |

| Kirby: I'll be sure to point you being the culprit when they come around asking. Joik.
Kirby shrugged and started running towards the location of the blimp. It was just around the corner, past the Pianta Parlor casino, and through an alleyway. Looked around as soon as he got past the brick and mortar surroundings. It seemed like nothing but country past the city, until you notice the high tech looking train stationed nearby. Kirby didn't bother fussing over the train, however, as he noticed further a way something that looked like a floating Cheep-Cheep fish. Kirby: I really would've assumed it was going to have the face of Don Pianta. Just then, a red Cheep-Cheep with a white pilot's hat flopped over to Kirby. Stewart: *deep, croaky voice* What's it to ya? Kirby: Oh, just wanted to know who to give the ticket to get on the blimp. Stewart: That'd be me, matey. |

Jack: And I thought Kirby was a fish out of water here. Fem: I don't know, there seems to be a lot of... "treasure hunters" |

| Kirby: Hey hey, what's that's supposed to mean? <____<
Kirby proceeded to snatch the others' tickets, not bothering to wait for them to snap out of their OT'd states. He handed the tickets to Stewart, and then starts pushing everyone towards the blimp. Stewart: Arr, prepare yerselves for the flight. Kirby: ... Are you really a pirate? Stewart: ... no v_v Kirby: Right. Can we go? Stewart: But I've always wanted to be a sailor! Kirby: Yeah, okay. You're an air-sailor then. Can we go? Stewart: An air-sailor? Sailing the skies.. Hm.. Hey, I never thought of it like that! Thanks, matey! Kirby:
The blimp finally took off, and started its journey to Glitzville.... CHAPTER 3 Of Glitz and Glory (edited by Brixikyent on 06-07-06 04:23 PM) |

| Grey: "Air sailor, huh... Sheesh."
Grey peered out of the window of the zepplin's aft side, and stared at the quickly shrinking ground below them all. He hated flying... "I don't trust zepplins, you know." He pushed his glasses up his nose and addressed the group, preparing for a monologue. "Zepplins are interesting things. They, as I'm sure you know, use hydrogen gas to form a giant lighter-than-air balloon that lifts us up and away. But have you ever thought about the dangers associated with it? Flying around in a giant hydrogen bomb would normally put people off, and make them think of such terrible things as the Hindenberg or whathaveyou. But zepplins aren't all powered by hydrogen. Hydrogen only increases the lift capacity of a zepplin by about 10%, so a good bit of them are powered by helium. That's not nearly as reactive as hydrogen, so a zepplin is actually one of the safest (if slowest) ways to travel aerially. That reminds me... The don of the pianta mafia is in charge of ticket distribution for flights on these things, right? I recall there being some speculation a while ago as to whether or not they used the zepplins for the trafficking of illegal goods, but all claims were more or less unfounded... I mean, a zepplin is so slow that it could be caught by air police any time. I guess, for a legitimate business front, this one is actually pretty clean. It's strange, though. The piantas never used to use zepplins for travel. Most transportation to Delfino Island was caused by jets and other, faster aircraft. It's doubtful, considering the sheer size of one of these airships, that a landing on the Delfino International Airport would be plausible in a zepp. In any case, zepplins are a pretty comfortable, if slow, way to travel. You meet some interesting people on them, too..." He leaned back against his window, and toyed with the idea of heading to his cabin until the end of the flight. |

| Stewart: Land ahoy!
Kirby: Huh? The sleep-bubble hanging off of Kirby's head popped as he heard the cheep-cheep's voice. Kirby groggily looked out the window, and noticed nothing but clouds. Kirby: Ahum... If I didn't already know Glitzville was a floating island, I would've said something else... Then again.. I don't see any-- Stewart: Brace yerselves! All of a sudden, the flooring beneath everyone began to descend. Kirby managed to keep his balance from the sudden movement, but still felt a bit unnerved in being unable to see anything but the sky. He then noticed a balloon float by. And then several balloons. Kirby: ... Oh! We're being lowered onto Glitzville! Kirby was half right. Several meters before reaching the Glitzville ground, the floor beneath everyone disappeared and basically dropped them onto concrete. Kirby: Ow! Hey! That was so lame! The island wasn't very big. It had a few buildings, like a hotel, a bar, a souvenier shop, and the main attraction, the Sim-Battle Arena. Kirby: What? Erm, the Glitz Pit Arena. Kirby: Thought so. |

| Grey smacks the narrator in the face, a quick five across the eyes.
Grey: "Go ahead. I dare you to screw up again." He slows his fall onto the cement, and places his hand to his forehead in an attempt to cover up the searing bright lights that shone before him. "Eesh, they weren't lying when they called it Glitzville. A little too heavy on the neon, eh?" The signs that adorned each and every building were almost unbearable to look at. It was a wonder they got any business at all. Conveniently enough, there was a widely-grinning sunglasses vendor just outside of the area where the ship had made its dropoff... |

| Fem: I'd suggest we spread out and search for the Star Stone, but in all likelihood it's in the big building with the "wrastlin'"
Jack: I never saw the entertainment in these mindless battles... I much prefer something with a real plot, and character development... Fem: ... You know, we've been leaning on the fourth wall an awful lot lately. Jack: I've noticed. |
