"So it's ma fault?!" Dedede asked.
                          
Haltmann wanted to be really sassy with him, but he kept his calmness. Then he remembered that he needed to give Dedede something. Something that would make everyone's lives much easier and much more comfortable. "Um, your majesty, I'll send you something real quick, and I want you to eat it immediately," Haltmann said as he sent a small bottle of potion. 
                          
"What is it?!" Dedede asked, but drank it anyway.
                          
"It makes you silent for several days..." Haltmann as he chuckled.
                          
Dedede mouthed, as his voice did not come out, "WHACHU SAY. YA MEAN I CAN'T SPEAK FOR DAYS?!"
                          
"What's that, your majesty?" Haltmann asked as he rotated his head to his left and put and next to his right ear. "I can't hear you, hehe!"
                          
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR DIS!!!" Dedede mouthed, his voice still not coming out.
                          
"Buh-bye!" Haltmann disconnected. He was sitting in Susie's room the whole time when he was talking to Dedede and Escargoon. Susie was sitting out of the monitor vision. "I gave him the potion, Susie."
                          
"Finally he's gonna shut up for several days," Susie said with a smirk. "I don't want you to end up getting a headache like mine, Mr. President."
                          
"You smart sly girl," Haltmann said. "Makes me glad I made you my secretary."
                          
"I'm honored, Mr. President," Susie said.
                          
"Now, why don't you get some rest, dear?" Haltmann suggested. "I don't think we have to deal with the obese, egotistic penguin for a while."
                          
"Sounds good to me," Susie agreed.

Escargoon bawled into his room's bed, which he couldn't hear. Tiff, who was next to him, was trying to make him feel better by patting him on the back. Kirby was... well... he was just standing there because he had no idea what was going on. Tuff was standing next to Kirby, hands behind the back of his head, not knowing what to do.
                          
"I can't... I can't hear you... can you write for me...?" Escargoon asked in his tears.
                          
"Is it that much?" Tuff asked.
                          
"Poyo?" Kirby asked.
                          
Tiff had a marker that had an eraser on the other side. She erased the last sentence and wrote: "What did Dedede do to you to make you deaf?" 
                          
"That mean old penguin..." Escargoon sniffed. "I forget to... dust one part of his room... and he screamed in my ears..."
                          
"Poyo..." Kirby said, sympathizing him.
                          
"Wow, that's messed up," Tuff said.
                          
"Man, that's horrible!" Tiff said as she wrote something on the board. She showed the board that says: "Do you want to visit Yabui? He might know what to do."
                          
"What?! No!" Escargoon rejected. "I trust him less than I trust you!"
                          
Tiff wrote: "He just cannot do the shots! He might treat your ears well."
                          
"Hey, now you remind me," Escargoon said. "That's actually very true!" 
                          
Tiff wrote: "Let's go. I'll go with you."
                          
"I'll come along!" Tuff said.
                          
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby cheered.
                          
"Yeah!" Escargoon cheered.
                          
"Come on, Tuff, come on, Kirby!" Tiff said.
                          
"Poyo, poyo!" Kirby cheered for another adventure.
