[Twelve days had passed since his arrival in Ponyville. He had befriended(if you would call it befriending) a butterfly and Luna, both who had helped him go through the ins and outs of being a newcomer in Equestria. And ever since then, he had been cocky and arrogant, laughing at a few ponies' misfortune during the Poison Joke episode or being an overall jerk to others by demanding food to be cooked or attempting to rile those who had crossed his path. But today is different, very different. As of now, he's homesick and missing the way things used to be.

He wanted to go home and rule Dreamland, to boss his Waddle Dees around and have a few Gourmet Races with Kirby, but is it wise to want that? Before he made it here, he was captured by a huge spider who imprisoned him in a barrier and was taking him away to some unknown place. He doesn't want to deal with that. He doesn't want to experience the fear he had then, not knowing what was going to happen to him. Course he had been through worse and had came out of it with little trouble, but the fact that it's been happening constantly is getting to him. He haven't talked to anyone about it since those events occurred, not even to Bandanna Waddle Dee. He kept it all to himself. And now, sitting under an apple tree at Sweet Apple Acres staring at an apple in his hooves, he contemplates giving a small piece of himself to the public. But he isn't sure if that's a good idea, especially since he doesn't know anyone that well.

Taking a bite of the apple, he opens up the scroll and began to write. He isn't sure what came through his mind at the time, but he wrote it there anyway. Maybe he'll get an answer, maybe not. Regardless, he felt somewhat better asking a question like that. Not enough to eat all the apples on the apple tree, but enough to keep his hopes up or at the very least entertained. That's all anyone could ask for, right?]

So... you ponies who decided to make this your second home. Would you rather return to where you came from if you had the chance? Or would you live here to get away from it all?

My "home" is where the people I care about most are. For right now, that's here.

But there are things I want to do that I need to return to my own world for.

[Dedede had finished eating his apple when he received this response. It's an interesting one to say the least and he had never thought of it that way before. He had heard of this saying before... "Home is where the heart is". Could that be what this one's really trying to say? If so, where does Dedede's heart lie?]

So you want to make Equestria home just because you met a few ponies? [Call it strange, but Dedede doesn't really think that's a good reason to ditch your own home for.] At least you want to fix things up in your world, so I guess that's something.

But you wouldn't want to leave there once everything's fixed, right?

No. I'm not making Equestria my home. But while my sister and the people I care about are here it's "home" enough for me. I'm not attached to one location over another; that's not what a home is.

My world has problems that I was in training to help fight against. Problems that there's no easy fix for. I was also in the middle of an important mission with my teammates when I was brought here and I want to see that through.

[Particularly since her friends have told her ~~some of~~ what happens afterwards and no way is she gonna miss out on that.]

[Dedede can understand staying around when you have family at your side and also understands wanting to return to fix up what mess your world is dealing with at the moment, but he is confused about what home really means. For all he knows, home is where Popstar is]

I don't understand what you would consider a home, and to be honest, I don't really care. But I hope that whatever that's going on at your world can be fixed.

[Honestly, Yang wants to travel and her future job is likely to require it, so it doesn't make much sense for her to get tied to any one place.

She's also gonna ignore that assertion that he doesn't care because please.]

We're gonna give it our best shot.

[She's heard the phrase somewhere: "Even the smallest spark of hope is enough to ignite change..."]

Good.

[Dedede had to do a lot of saving as far as Popstar is concerned. He remembered breaking the Star Rod to pieces to keep Nightmare from taking control of the Fountain of Dreams. Even though Kirby got most of the credit, since Dedede was blamed for the Dreamlanders having nightmares, he did what he could to protect his home.

There are other times when he helped the pink puffball, but as usual, he gets the credit. It angers him, but now's no the time to be angry, is there? Instead, he sighed, not at all sure what else to write on the scroll. So he left it blank; it's up to the receiver if she wants to say her peace.]
