A/N: Just a cute little one-shot I thought of yesterday. The Robin in this fanfiction is female, in case anyone is wondering. Also, in this fanfic, Robin is not Lucina's mother, and she is single. (Who is her mother? I'll leave that up to your imagination.) I hope you like it! :]
Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Bros. or its characters.
The fourth Super Smash Brothers tournament was only a few months away, which meant that there was still time for new Smashers to be invited. Whenever a newcomer was announced, there would be a celebration in honor of the newcomer(s) the day after their introduction. The most recent newcomers were Robin and Lucina. Both of them were very happy to join the other Smashers; they had been looking forward to this tournament for a long time. However, tonight, on July 15, Robin the tactician was...not so happy, for some reason.
Part of the reason Robin was unhappy tonight was because she was nervous. What would the others think of her? Would she be accepted? That was understandable. What the other Smashers didn't quite understand, however, was that the main reason she didn't want to attend the party was because...
"I'm busy reading," Robin said, looking up from the book she was reading.
"Please, Robin?" Princess Peach pleaded, holding up a white spaghetti-strap dress. "I even picked out this nice dress for you!"
Robin attempted to read the next line of her book. "I'm sorry, Peach, but the answer is still no."
"Aw, come on! Please?" Peach begged.
Poor Robin was becoming rather irritated. Peach, along with Zelda and Samus, had barged into her and Lucina's room a few minutes ago, requesting that she attend the party. When she had said no the first time, they kept on pestering her. All the poor tactician wanted to do was read in peace. Why couldn't she just read her book in peace?
Zelda, who was wearing a lavender knee-length, spaghetti-strap dress, smiled at Robin. "Are you sure you don't want to come, Robin? This celebration is for Lucina and you, you know."
"Yeah, that is true. You're pretty much required to go, Robin," Samus said as she looked herself over in the mirror. She was wearing a light blue strapless, knee-length dress. "I look ridiculous in this dress," she murmured, scowling at her reflection.
Sighing, Robin looked at Samus. "I really have to go?"
"Yep," she answered.
Reluctantly, Robin agreed to go with them.
"Yes!" Peach squealed happily. "Now, put this dress on," she said, shoving the dress she had been holding towards her. She stared at her for a moment, then gasped slightly, as if she had gotten an idea. "Oh! I'll be right back." She walked out of the room.
Robin looked at the dress and sighed.
"Don't worry," Zelda said reassuringly. "It'll be fun."
"No it won't," Samus said. Before she had come into Robin's room, she had also been forced by Peach and Zelda to go to the party.
Peach returned to the room with a small box and a pair of white high-heels. "I found it! Here, put this on too," she said, showing Robin the contents of the box: a white pearl necklace. After handing her the shoes and the necklace, she walked over to the mirror.
Robin walked into hers and Lucina's bathroom and closed the door. As she changed into the dress, she listened to the girls' conversation.
"What do you think of her?" asked Zelda.
"I like her, but..." Peach's voice died down to a whisper. "All she ever does is read. I haven't seen her talk to many people other than us."
"It wasn't exactly by choice, though," Zelda whispered. "Anyway, you can't force her to interact with the other Smashers. Give her time, Peach. She'll warm up to everyone."
As Robin put on the pearl necklace, thoughts came to her mind. Zelda's right. I've introduced myself to some of the Smashers and said hi a few times, but I've never actually had a conversation with them before. Then again, there is Lucina, of course... She put on the heels.
After making sure that everything was where it was supposed to be, she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom. "Um...How do I look?" she asked with a slight tone of awkwardness in her voice.
Peach squealed, Zelda smiled, and Samus...honestly didn't seem to care.
"You look fantastic!" Peach squealed.
Zelda nodded in approval.
Peach skipped over to Robin, went behind her, and pushed her towards Zelda and Samus. "Let's go, let's go, let's go! I don't want to miss anything!" She pushed them out the door, and they were off to the party.
Minutes later, the girls arrived in the Smash Mansion's ballroom. This room was usually used for celebrations.
Robin looked around at the room. The floor was made of brown tile, and the walls were almost completely white, with the exception of one large black near one of the corners of the room. There was a table covered by a large, white tablecloth set up in one part of the room; there were many foods and drinks on it. Master Hand and his brother, Crazy Hand, stood (?) at the center of the stage that was set up at the front of the room. A microphone was also set up on stage. The Smashers were scattered about the room, talking and interacting with each other.
"I'll be right back!" Peach said before walking up to the stage. She whispered something to Master Hand, then stepped down.
Master Hand cleared his throat (?) and spoke into the microphone. "Attention, everyone!"
All of the Smashers stopped what they were doing and looked at Master Hand.
Master Hand looked around to make sure that the room was completely silent, then spoke again. "One of our most recent newcomers, Robin, has just arrived!" He gestured (?) for the one he had just named to come up to the stage.
The Smashers, still silent, all looked at Robin.
Robin blushed slightly in embarrassment and began walking towards the stage. The only sound in the room was the sound of her heels touching the ground.
When she reached the top of the stage, she picked up the microphone and began to speak.
"Um..." It took a minute for her to think of the right words. "Thank you all for your support. Without all of you, I wouldn't have been able to join Super Smash Bros. I look forward to facing each one of you in battle." She put the microphone back on its stand and walked off of the stage.
Most of the Smashers, with the exception of the villains, of course, clapped in congratulations, then went back to their business.
"Robin!" Lucina called as she ran over to her. She wore a long sleeved, dark blue dress.
"Hm? Oh, hello, Lucina," Robin greeted. "Are you giving a short speech as well?"
"In a few minutes, yes," she answered. "Actually, I came to tell you that I have some good news. I just talked to the Hero King, Marth, and I asked him to train me." She smiled. "He said he would be glad to."
"That's wonderful news!" said Robin, smiling.
"You should come join us," Lucina said. She walked over to the part of the room where Marth and the Radiant Hero of Legend were. She looked at her, then back at them.
Hesitantly, she walked over to the group.
Robin stared in awe at Marth and Ike. She couldn't believe she was meeting both of them...at the same time!
What was even more shocking to Robin was how handsome Ike was.
CLIFFHANGER! Yes, I'm finishing this at 2:30 in the morning, so I plan on stopping this chapter here. This was actually supposed to be a one-shot, but...I guess it wouldn't hurt to make it a two-shot or a three-shot. XD
I really hope everyone's in-character. I tried my best. QAQ
Anyways, I'll be writing one or two more chapters for this fanfiction, then it'll be over. For those of you who are currently reading Strange and A Pokemon Fanfic: The Prequel, I'm also working on those, so don't give up on me yet! I hope you're enjoying this so far! :]
