Introduction/Chapter One
A new arrival
All of the smash bros. have spent their whole day cleaning the mansion (except Wario who was more causing mess than cleaning it); in order to greet a special person who was now joining the smash bros. Peach was prancing around dusting everything that looked dusty, including the smash bros. themselves.
"We have to get ready for this new friend! They said they have some trouble remembering their past…. So we want everything to be perfect!" Peach announced to all the smashers she passed.
"They can't remember all of their past? What the hell, they mental or something?" Sonic asked.
"That's rude Sonic!" snapped Zelda, she was about to tell him off but Peach interrupted.
"I'm not sure…" said Peach "The letter they wrote just said 'There are some things from the past that I can't remember, so I would prefer if my past is never brought up.' It's so tragic!" Peach cried holding the letter to her heart.
"What about gender? Is that mentioned anywhere?" asked Pit flying up to dust a shelf Peach couldn't reach. Peach shook her head.
"No, there is nothing mentioned about their gender. Just that, their name is Sai, but that's a name used for both males and females."
Ike, Snake, Link, Mario, and Luigi all walked into the room where all the others were.
"We finally finished fixing up that storage room, now it's like all the other rooms in the mansion." Ike said tiredly.
"Oh good, you can help us clean the entry way now!" Peach said excitedly.
"You mean there's still cleaning?" Ness said.
"What about T.V.?" said Lucas.
"T.V. can wait, now go clean the entry way! Our guest will be arriving just before dinner, so Zelda and I have to go prepare a good meal!" Peach half angrily, half uppity said.
Zelda and Peach walked into the kitchen, Peach sat down with the letter in hand reading it over, and Zelda read it over her shoulder.
'Dear Smash Brothers,
Thank you for sending me an invitation to become a smasher. I will gladly accept your invitation. Though there are some things you must know about me ahead of time. I specialize in closer combat, for I wield a sword. I am not very talkative when in bad moods, or thinking deeply. I wish to not be bothered when sleeping; I will sleep when I want, as long as I want, brawl or no brawl. I have some issues with cleanliness, although I, myself, am quite a slob. I will change habits to meet your needs if you compromise for me. There are some things from the past that I can't remember, so I would prefer if my past is never brought up.
Other than those I'm pretty happy-go-lucky and will love to meet you all. I should arrive just around six pm, if that is alright with you. Once again I thank you for the request.
Yours Truly,
Sai'
Zelda sighed "I see."
"Yeah" Peach replied sadly before jumping back into her pleasant mood. "Let's get working on dinner!"
It was just about a couple minutes to six before Peach asked Zelda to attend to the rest of the meal while she got ready to welcome Sai.
Peach walked into the entry way, her heals clacking against the floor. The entry way wasn't much of a way as it was a room. The ceiling was high with a chandelier hanging high. The clock was ticking and Peach paced back and forth. Soon the clock chimed 6 o'clock and some smashers started piling in the room, waiting for the person to arrive.
Soon there was a light knock on the big wooden door. Peach jumped and ran over, unlocking and opening the great door to reveal a person not much taller than herself, they wore tight white boots and grey-green pants that cut off above the boots, and a short sleeved, high necked, dark purple shirt complimented by gloves that matched the boots. Blond hair chopped short in the back and shoulder length in the front, with straight across bangs. Green eyes shone in the light from the room. The person had a rough looking sack slung over their shoulder and a silver sword in one hand. But had a very gentle face.
"Hello! Welcome Sai!" Said Peach excitedly, she rushed the person in before extending her hand, "I'm Princess Peach! Welcome to the Smash bros!"
"Hello and thank you." Sai said softly, shaking Peach's hand. The whole room looked a Sai which made Sai feel embarrassed, face turning bright red.
"So you're a girl are you?" said Sonic smiling as he skidded in front of her, "I actually couldn't tell until I got a side view. Then I could tell from your-!"
"Sonic that's rude!" said Zelda as she pushed him aside. "Please ignore him Sai, I'm Princess Zelda." She said with a smile on her face. Sai's face was an even brighter red now.
"Wow, two princesses in one room?" said Sai cheerfully, "Any other royalty while were at it?"
"Yep!" Peach said "Marth is a prince! You'll meet him at dinner."
This is when most smashers started crowding around Sai to introduce themselves before Peach pushed them all away announcing that it was time to eat. Kirby made the fierce decision that he wanted to sit beside Sai because he had never got a chance to talk to her before. Everyone gathered around the great table and took a seat. There were some seats empty as always, but Peach noticed some of her "workers" missing. She was about to go call for them when they walked in. Ike, Marth, Link, and Pit all walked in the room and took the remaining where ever they could fit. Kirby poked Sai and she looked at him carefully.
"Yes?"
"Sai, do you like it here so far?" Kirby asked smiling
"Well…I haven' been here that long…but yes. Everyone seems really nice, and this place is beautiful…it's nice, it feels like a home…" Sai said smiling as she traced the design on the table cloth.
"That's good," said Kirby "everyone here is pretty nice. There are some that are not so much but they aren't usually around and you can tell when you meet them. Also Sai…"
"Hm?"
"This is your home now…so you don't need to say 'a home' you can just say 'home'." Kirby said shoving a loaf of bread into his mouth.
"That's right!" Fox said eating a piece of meat "You seem like you'll fit in here perfectly, so don't worry."
"Thank you…both of you." Sai said.
Peach noticed that Sai wasn't eating anything "Oh Sai, you have to try Zelda and mine's cooking! Please have some! Don't tell me you're not hungry." Peach said pouting.
Sai giggled a bit "Sorry, I was dozing off, I'm really tired. I'm also very hungry…walking that far can take a lot out of you, but there's so much to eat, it all looks delicious! Why don't you pick something for me to eat?" Sai said handing Peach the empty plate. Zelda and Peach quickly filled the plate with their marvelous cooking and handed it back to Sai. Surprisingly she ate every bit of it. Everyone was surprised that she ate it all, not complaining once. She also asked for seconds, but not only seconds, THIRDS! Kirby and Sai almost seemed like they had the same type of stomach, bottomless. That's probably why they were friends immediately.
After dinner Sai offered to help clean the dishes but Peach and Zelda pushed her out of the kitchen saying that she didn't have to on her first night. Sai tried to insist but Peach and Zelda told her again, she shouldn't have to on her first night here. So Sai just gave up. She was walking to the entry way, when she bumped into Marth and Ike.
"Oh hello!" she said smiling.
"Hello Sai! Welcome to Smash Bros., I'm Marth, and this is Ike!" Marth said excitedly. Ike just slightly smirked and waved.
"Oh so your Prince Marth? And you're Ike?" Sai asked "How nice to meet you both, I was just heading out now for a walk."
"Oh okay Sai! Hey, you should come join a group of us at the bar on the smashers next day off. I think it's going to be next month. Also you'll be able to find the bar easily; it's just down the hall from the dining room. That way we can all chat more!"
"Sure I'd like that, thank you." Sai said as she waved and walked out the door.
(INTRO END)
Sai couldn't believe how nice everyone was…most of them all smiled at her and each other. Although she was happy it was hard to keep up with everyone else's smiles and high fives. Sai was just walking along the beach thinking about the last 5 years and how the all played out. She was just recalling the pain when she bumped into a figure that was also apparently not paying attention to where they were walking.
"Ouch" Sai said softly as she collided with someone. She looked at the person. "I'm so sorry, I'm sorry, I should watch where I'm going! Are you okay?"
"It's okay…it's not your fault, I wasn't paying attention either." The male said "Hey your Sai, the new smasher?"
"Yeah…" Sai softly replied before she could ask, the male extended his hand and spoke.
"I'm Link. You do sword combat? " Link said looking at the sword in Sai's hand.
Sai shook Links hand, "Nice to meet you. Yes…it's called Fish-Blade."
"So what are you doing out? Shouldn't you be cleaning up from all the dinner you ate?" Link said jokingly.
"Peach and Zelda won't let me clean. Maybe they think I'll eat the leftovers." Sai Said laughing.
"Hey, after Kirby gets in there, there won't be any leftovers!" Link laughed. Sai had sat down on the sand still laughing about Kirby, and Link sat next to her, also still laughing.
They were laughing more about her bottomless stomach for a while, and then there was a short silence.
Sai's mind was not completely cleared of all the thoughts she had before. Sadly they all started coming back when Link asked,
"So, seriously, what are you doing out here?"
Sai placed her chin on her knees and look out to the sea, "I was thinking…of my past," she sighed "and trying to forget it."
"Oh" Link said, "Sorry I didn't mean to bring it up."
Sai smiled and said, "Hey, you didn't know, it's not your fault. Besides, I couldn't forget even if I wanted to."
Link smiled "Yeah, I know what you mean."
"Link, do you think you can listen to me for a bit?" Sai said.
"Um, yeah sure." Link said in amazement. He never for a second though she'd ask that, especially after what Peach had read from the letter. Sai took a deep breath before she began her story with "It happened four years ago…"
