So, um, hi. You might have noticed, if you were one of the three people who actually looked, that I've changed my name, along with several other things. I might go back to those other stories eventually should I be given proper motivation, but this is all I have inspiration for right now... This is inspired by the Hearth Series by SpeakingThroughWrittenWords, which is an excellent Hetalia fanfic. This, however, is a Super Smash Brothers fanfic, and probably actually nothing like it, sooo... Unlike my other fictions, this will have relatively short chapters, with footnotes instead of notes at the beginning, with this obvious exception. This will be a somewhat medieval/steampunk/fantasy/I don't even know AU. Also, everyone's human. Assume any pairings are canon for now, IE ZeldaxLink and PeachxMario. Also, I own nothing. Let the games begin!

Samus Moves In

She had to wonder for a moment why, exactly, she had chosen this of all places to move in, before remembering that she had a half-insane dragon-king after her and that she needed to find someplace Ridley would never think to find her. Still, looking up at the weird town (Smash Village? Who names a town Smash Village?), she had to wonder why, exactly, she had decided to run here.

Probably because no one in there right mind would come here. She hated her life sometimes, she really did.

Samus looked down at the small bag on her shoulder, and her clothes. They all still fit exactly how she wanted them to. Her toolkit was around somewhere in that bag, too, so using that shouldn't be a problem. She could get a job. She had some skills as a mechanic, after all. In that way, she took after her dad. She would still be with her dad if it weren't for that stupid Ridley and his stupid taxes and his stupid laws. She would have to get revenge later, but for now she needed to run.

Taking a deep breath, she walked in to the town. It was late at night, so she didn't expect many people to be around. There weren't that many. Maybe she would be able to get to the Mayor's Office to ask for some sort of room and board without running into anybody. That would be nice. She was still learning to deal with this.

Alas, she instead managed to walk directly into somebody, and those hopes were crushed.

"Oh! I'm so sorry!" said the voice, and she looked up to see an odd girl with pink hair and a pink outfit. She was pretty sure that it was called a kimono and that it had no business being somewhere that wasn't Asia.

"That was my fault," she replied, her breath catching as she tried to maintain the voice she needed to. Come on, come on, buy it...

"It's okay!" replied the girl. "I'm super clumsy so it was probably my fault and I was just going out to sing some! I can't do it at daytime because everyone always falls asleep for some reason, which isn't fair!" Samus blinked. That couldn't be normal.

Then again, she'd already established that the town wasn't normal before even walking in, so...

The pink girl started up again. "Anyway, I'm Oichi Jigglypuff! Nice to meet you...?" she said, shaking her head and sticking out her hand. Now that Samus thought about it, the girl had some sort of distinctive Asian accent. She wasn't sure from where, as Samus had never really had to pay attention.

"Sam. Sam Aran." she responded in the lowest register she could manage. She'd have to get used to it.

"Oh! Nice to meet you, Sam! Are you lost? Because I can totally help you find your way if you need me to because I've been living here for a while with my friend Lucario Ranmaru and so I know where things are!" Samus felt vaguely like this Oichi girl didn't actually use punctuation.

"I am lost. could you help me find a place to stay?"

"A place to stay? You're probably looking for Mr. Watch's Inn! Some people stay there so long that they live there and he really doesn't mind at all! Yoom-Pah! Follow me!" Samus followed after, wondering how in Palutena's name she was going to get out of this mess.

Who knows, though? If the town was this crazy already, maybe no one would notice a mechanic who had cut her hair and was now disguised as a boy?

Yeah, keep dreaming, Samus.

Notes:

Jigglypuff's human first name and Lucario's human last name are references. I will love you forever. Also, you'd be surprised how often people get lost and end up in Smash Village, hence Oichi's assumption. It's not like people get there on purpose!
