As they enter the town, some people recognize them from when they were younger, while some new faces do not. Tiff and Tuff's old friends recognize them and welcome them back into town. but Tiff and Tuff tell them that they're only visiting their old birthplace as a part of their vacation from their careers. their friends understand and tell them they missed a lot while they were gone.

as Tiff and Tuff walk through the streets, they find more Puffballs like Kirby casually talking. the Puffballs are revealed to be Amethyst and Dylan. As they greet them, Amethyst and Dylan introduce Tiff and Tuff to Cappy Town's guild, where fighters earn money by defeating monsters, finding lost people, or finding lost valuables or treasure. Envy, Platinum, and Autumn arrive and meet Tiff and Tuff too. the three also show Tiff and Tuff the Gem Apple Tree, which was said to be a gift from the goddess Estrella while adding the powers of the mystical Gem Apples.

part 3: the tie-in with KRBAY
We see a little backstory of what happened to Tiff, Tuff, and the rest of our familiar Cappy Town residents after Kirby defeated Nightmare. The unfortunate news is that Chief Bookem, Mayor Len, Professor Curio, the elderly mailman, and a few other elders passed away from natural causes. However, their legacy was not forgotten. The late Mayor Len Blustergas' 3 grandsons are revealed to be the new mayor of Cappy Town, the Landlord for the town's houses, and a Police officer to replace Officer Bookem. Their names are Lenny (sometimes Len Jr.), Mike, and Takashi. Tuff's love for the sport of Soccer made him become a good Soccer coach. He trains his team hoping one day his team will enter the championships. when Tiff got older, she moved out of Cappy Town to a university to study her pursuit of biology. eventually, she graduated and works as a science teacher at a different school.

part 4: something missing in Cappy Town
as Nikki and Tiff continue with their conversation, a thought suddenly crossed Tiff's mind. She remembered that Cappy Town still hadn't had a school. She adds by saying Cappy Town had a school approximately three times, but a teacher always up becoming a monster from Nightmare and blew up the school from Kirby's actions. Nikki tells Tiff not to worry. Since Nightmare Soul is defeated, she doesn't have to worry about monsters blowing up the school anymore. Nikki decides to fulfill Tiff's wish of building a school. Brandon wants to join in the construction too. The three then team up to start construction of the school, the same place it's always been the past few times. Cappy Town's residents started to notice so they decided to help out with the construction. the strong ones helped out in carrying the heavy materials while the ones that can fly will bring in the needed materials. soon enough, everyone in Cappy Town helped out in building the school.

part 5: building the school
As Nikki, Brandon, their friends, and all of Cappy Town's residents build the school, Tiff is in charge of supervising. She kept the blueprints of the school King Dedede kept in case he needed to discipline the children again. She crossed out the tall electric fence draft that surrounded the school's backyard for recess and swapped it out with a simple rope fence with square wooden stakes, complete with structures like swings, a slide, monkey bars, see-saws, and even a playground. the children happily watched the construction of the playground. building the school seems to be going along great. However, while in the middle of building the school, Tiff had trouble coming up with a new name for the school. Nikki asked what the school's name used to be, to which Tiff answered it used to be Dedede Academy. After brainstorming for a minute, Nikki came up with the idea to name the school Star Academy. Tiff loved the name and agreed with it. Brandon also had no complaints.

part 6: Star Academy
After building the school, the construction was finished in only a few days thanks to everyone's cooperation. the construction of Star Academy is now officially complete! Nikki allowed the kids to play in the playground while also adding that the playground of the school is open to the public every day except for night which is when their curfew is. However, there is only one problem left. the only thing left is to hire teachers. Since Nikki and Brandon are royalty, they spread the word about Cappy Town's new school. soon enough, lots of teachers who were looking for schools to teach come into Cappy Town to help with education. Tiff even has a reunion with Mr. Chip, a teacher she met around the second time the school had to be rebuilt, who decided to stay in Cappy Town for the school.

part 7: the first day of School
a few days after preparation, Star Academy is now open. a Cappy Town's families enroll their children in the school. a few children were nervous to go since the school usually involves King Dedede's schemes, but Nikki and Brandon assure everyone that there will be no brainwashing or monsters this time around. a curious Luna wants to enroll in the school too, so Nikki and Brandon happily allow their daughter into the school. Mr. Levia's also allowed his son Loki enroll in the school too. Tiff temporarily teaches the science subject while her bother Tuff will temporarily be the gym teacher. As all the kids enter the school, they have fun learning about Popstar's history (unlike the ones King Dedede made up) and all kinds of topics from other subjects. the teachers also hand out homework, but not the usual big amount like the evil teachers would do.

part 8: the school's over
School is going along great as the bell rings whenever the subject of the class changes. when lunch was around, there was even a cafeteria along with a door to outside with picnic tables where the students can eat outside if the weather was nice. every kid at the school enjoyed the school more than the previous times. Luna was thinking of staying in school to learn all other the wonderful things Popstar has, which makes Loki want to do the same since he's just as curious and not to mention he's best friends with Luna. soon enough, the final bell rings as school comes to an end. all the kids are happy school is not as grueling as the lessons in Kind Dedede's antics. Tiff is happy the children will have the education Cappy Town finally deserves. Tiff is also surprised there hasn't been a monster all day no since the construction of the school began.

part 9: school under attack
however, Tiff's words were jinxed as a monster approaches the school. Nikki and Brandon won't let the monster destroy the school for the fourth time. they fight the monster while also diverting it away from the school as well as Cappy Town. Luna, Loki, and other fighters join the fight to protect Cappy Town and the school. with everyone's assistance, they easily defeated the monster without blowing up the school. Tiff wonders how the monster arrives as well as why it was targeting the school, which everyone is confused about as well. Luna guesses that perhaps the school is some kind of monster magnet. hearing Luna's guess, Gold thinks Luna might be onto something as she makes a charm disguised as a Japanese wind chime that will repel any monsters from attacking the school. with the charm now active, Star Academy is no longer in danger of being destroyed by monsters

part 10: goodbyes
after a week has passed, Tiff and Tuff's vacation was almost over, and it was time to say their goodbyes and return to their careers. Tiff wishes she could stay and be a teacher at Cappy Town, but she already works at a different school. Tiff and Tuff were thinking of moving back to Cappy Town once they retire. Nikki shakes hands with Tiff and tells her that she is welcome to return to Cappy Town and teach at Star Academy anytime. as Tiff and Tuff leave Cappy Town by walking down the road, our heroes and even Tiff and Tuff's old friends wave goodbye. Nikki suddenly remembered that she'll have to plan for some kind of graduation or what grade the students will graduate at. Brandon assures Nikki that things like this will come in due time, but for now the kids can finally get the education they desired. Nikki takes Brandon's words to heart as they watch Tiff and Tuff leave in the horizon.

Trivia:
This is a bit of a timeline fact, but this episode occurs exactly 10 years after Nikki beats Nightmare Soul, which was 20 years after the original series. In other words, there is a 20-year gap after Kirby defeated Nightmare and the series started. The timeline for my series and the anime is confirmed!
plus, this episode is followed by the episodes eNeMeE Elementary, The School Scam, and Teacher's Threat.
This episode is a crossover with the Kirby Right Back At Ya series and my Warriors At Galaxy's End series. I thought it would be nice if the Kirby anime and my series had a crossover episode since my series takes place after the events of the anime.
the thumbnail of this episode also includes my own version of grown-up Tiff and Tuff.
the late Mayor Len Blustergas' 3 grandsons' headcanon names Lenny, Mike, and Takashi, are references to his first name, his English voice actor, and his Japanese voice actor respectively.
