NOTE

Ever since the whole Super Smash Bros x SpongeBob funny stuffs, I am starting to do a fanfic about it. While my writing isn't the best, keep that in mind that I am only doing that for fun. The stories won't always feature the same cast however, as each stories (which represent each episodes, and usually separated in a few parts) feature their own casts in a slice of life situation with almost very little connections with each other (pretty much like the show itself), and all kind of references will be included, like a fanservice.

Also, I wouldn't mind some suggestions of yours, because I want to portray the characters IN-CHARACTER and I want to put as much references as possible.

Midnight Monado Boy

Shulk feels so depressed he can't "feeling it". Pikachu and Kirby decide to make him feel better by inviting him in their boys night out party, with unexpectedly hilarious result. (Based on Mid-Life Crustacean)

(part 1)

Welcome to V.G.S.S, the Video Game Soundtrack station, the station where you may get the feels from our video game soundtracks and make you depressed. We miss you AKA the Love theme, from Mother 3.

The said song begins to play on the radio. Still sleeping, Shulk decides, at this moment, to open up his teary eyes (And has a bit of a hard time to do so).

In a distant town,

The young British man gets up from his comfortable blue bed

as the dark grows deep,

and walks through his room, in the darkness, with no lamp.

Unfamiliar words resound, whispered and weak,

He heads up to his bathroom and wash his face.

Let me heal the pain,

When he looks at himself in the mirror, he sees a sad, horrible face: he had bags under his eyes, which were red due to tears.

drive away despair,

He pulls his eyelid downward to see the conjunctivitis behind it, which almost cover the entirety of his eye.


Shulk arrives at the Smash manor's dining room. Being the first there, he picks a random sit, and tries to drown his despair alone.

-Good morning, Shulk! a masculine Brooklyn accent voice greets him.

It was Doctor Mario. He pats the young man on the back. He tries to ignore him.

-I made you breakfast.

He takes a look at his "breakfast", which surprises him a bit: his breakfast is entirely made of wheat, oatmeal and raisins.

-Ah, thank you Doctor. I see that you have fun trying to make a healthy breakfast today.

-Well, thank you. By the way, it's time for your medication, the doctor says as he pulled his pill out of his white coat.

-Grr, I hate the pill! the boy groaned a bit.

Before he could finish his sentence, the doctor shoves the pill in the blonde's mouth, who reluctantly swallowed it. After he finishes the deed, he begins to ask to the brown-haired man:

-Doctor Mario, do you think I'm… depressed?

The Italian man smiles as he answers:

-Why, of course I do. But that's fine. Young men can be depressed sometimes.

-But I'm still "feeling it", right? I mean, a boy like me is really feeling it.

- You see, no one care about that phrase anymore. It's old new now. Now we say "salty", like "this choice makes me salty".

-Salty?

-Pff, when you said it, you make it sound different, Doctor Mario chuckles a bit at his accent.

-Well, how about I said it in another accent? Saretiruuuuu!

-Don't you have a tournament soon? The doctor asked, rolling his eyes in annoyance.

-Darn it, you're right, doc! Shulk realizes as he finishes eating his breakfast as soon as possible. When he is done, he runs away and leaves the dining room. Goodbye, have a "salty" day!

The annoyed doctor pulls out his cellphone and press a number.

-Hey, Luigi? Trust me; "salty" is definitely getting old now!


Outside the mansion, Shulk walks through Smashville in order to get in the tournament just in time. He walks through the crossroad as he chuckles:

-Depressed? What am I talking about? I am NOT depressed at all!

But then, he sees Lucas holding his left arm like he was hugging it tightly and sorrowfully.

-Don't worry mister, I will make you feel better.

-Leave me alone, you little brat. I am not sad! he rejects him in annoyance.

Though, feeling sorry for him, he couldn't help but give him a sad look. When he continues walking, a guy named Wario follows him from behind and sneered at him harshly:

-C'mon pretty boy. Do it. Can you look any dumber?
The fat short man walks pass him, patting his back as he continues his insults.

-The last time you were actually cool was when you lost to me by humiliation!

When he leaves him laughing like mad, Shulk decides to stop ignoring him and looks behind his back; a paper note that is written "Kick me" badly is stuck there. Humiliated, he rips it off, hoping no one sees it. He continues to walk, and he sees a soccer ball rolling toward him.

-Hey mister.

Shulk sees Bowser jr. and his fellow Koopalings in front of him. The Bowser kid says:
-Can you give us back the ball, please?

Shulk begins to smile. Perhaps it's a chance to get out of his depression.

-Children, care to join the fun? He offered as he tries to be cool.
Unfortunately for him, none of the kids feel the same toward him. They look at each other and…

-Uh, no. It's ok! Larry quickly declines.

-Yeah, you can keep the ball, Ludwig agrees.

Then, the Koopa kids go away.

-Why do older and unhappy people always ruin our fun?

Watching this, Shulk can't help but feels horribly rejected. He drops the ball on the rocky ground without seeing. As he continues walking (or rather "shuffling"), now even more sad than before thanks to those Koopa kids, he unknowingly walks pass a people (and other kinds of creatures) line.

-Hey! Don't cut the line! A huge pterodactyl-looking creature named Ridley exclaims to him irritated. You have to wait like everybody else!

Shulk takes a look at what they were really waiting for. It looks like they are in line for… the Rejects Cemetery! This, of course, makes the man really scared: for him, that means one thing.

-No. NO! I don't want to get rejected!

He runs as fast as he can, hoping to avoid getting the boot. The waiting characters are perplexed by his strange behavior. A young blue-haired swordman named Chrom begins to ask:

-What is wrong with him? We were just waiting for our Non-playable Smashers snack.

Indeed, the line is actually for the food stand. Isabel, the one who sells the food, is selling an apple to a green-haired woman named Lyn.

"Next!"
