The note fell upon Banjo's face as he slept in his bed. It tickled his nose, making him wake up. "Huh? What's this?", he
asked himself, opening his eyes. Banjo opened the badly folded note and on the inside it read: "For old time's sake, come
on down to Tanktup so we can all have a reunion. Signed-Diddy, Drumstick, Bumper, Conker, Tiptup, Pipsy, T.T., and
Timber."Banjo was so excited, he forgot all about sleeping. He stood up and smacked over Kazooie's coatrack. "Brack!", squaked the small bird, "Watch it!" Banjo looked down at his feathered buddy. "Sorry, Kazooie....Hey, do you want to come?", asked Banjo, forgeting that he hadn't read her the note. "Come where?", moaned Kazooie in a sleepy voice. "To Tanktup, so we can reunight with my old friends, and you can meet everyone that I raced with....", began Banjo. "You mean your "buddies" in those racing stories you've told me about 50 times? I'm not going!", insisted Kazooie. "Okay then......I'm gonna have to leave you here with Bottles then.....", taunted Banjo. Kazooie hopped in Banjo's backpack. "I'll take my chances with your racing buddies.", said Kazooie.
When they arrived to Bubble Gloop Swamp, they pounded on all of Tanktup's feet. "Password?", asked a voice. "Ummm....we didn't get one.", replied Banjo. "Okay that's good, cuz if you didn't know there wasn't a password I wouldn't have let you in.", said the voice, then Tanktup's mouth opened up. "Errrr... Come again?", asked Banjo. Tiptup greeted them at the mouth. "Come on in!", he called. "This is your "exciting friend, Banjo?", asked Kazooie, rolling her eyes, "I wonder why I ever came." Banjo wrang Kazooie's neck, them scuttled inside Tanktup. Diddy was in there at the refreshment table and all the rest were dancing to music that the Tiptup Choir were singing. Banjo noticed something wrong, so he edged over to Diddy. "Hey, where's Krunch?", whispered Banjo. Diddy looked at the floor. "Hi Banjo....Krunch is.....gone....forever.....", he replied. "Why, did he move?", asked Banjo. "NO! He was murdered!!!!!!!!", shouted Diddy. Banjo gasped. "Oh no, Crocodile checked out...so what?", said Kazooie. "Hey, who's your rude friend, Banjo?", said Timber. "Oh, this is Kazooie.....how did Krunch die?", Banjo asked. "Well, when we got there," replied Conker, "It was apperant that he was hit with something blunt, like a turtle shell...." Tiptup just took a step back and grinned a little. "HEY! I KNOW WHO MUSTA DONE IT!", said Banjo, bouncing up and down. Every one said "Who?" at the same time...except Tiptup, he just gasped fearfully. "Maybe Gruntilda did it!", answered Banjo. Tiptup sighed, then fainted. His choir came to his aid. "When did Grunty ever have a turtle shell, stupid!", said Kazooie, pecking Banjo on the head. "I heard that," agreed Bumper. Tiptup woke up and gasped, "No! I know I killed him, don't take me to jail!" Banjo smirked. "You didn't kill Krunch, Tiptup!", he laughed.
