Whaa!! Don't kill me for another chaptered fiction!!! I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIEEEE!!!! (runs away screaming)
Crystal Medalis: Weakling. (sigh) I guess I must explain her ideas in this fiction then? Please read it, and at the bottom I will explain. Neither of us own any characters in Super Smash Brothers (and Sisters).
Oh, I almost forgot. This is a Jigglypuff X Meta Knight fiction, also known (by Medalis) as AccidentShipping. What is the actual couple name, I wonder?
Shangri-La
Chapter One
- Jigglypuff's POV -
Super Smash Brothers… you've heard of it, right? If so, I bet you've unlocked every character by now, right? So you must know who I am.
I'm Jigglypuff, from Pokémon. I'm one of the least liked characters in Super Smash Brothers. I'm sure you've heard of me. The character with the worst Final Smash. The weak character. The worthless character.
That's why I had been planning to leave the Smash Brothers Tournaments before Brawl started. Master Hand wouldn't let me though; he had promised Kirby that. To think I was still around just because of him was nice. I had fallen in love with him in the first tournament; Smash.
I remember that starlit night so well. We were sitting out there, holding each other's paws. We paid no attention to the stars, only each other. We kissed, but now that kiss echoed in me emptily.
Why?
Because I fell in love with someone else.
Let me explain…
---
It was the beginning of Brawl, and everyone was back. I was happy; despite being a fan-dislike, I had friends within the Smash Brothers and Sisters. It was true; these people were practically my family. I had never had one before, since Wigglytuff leave their children alone when they're born. I had grown up a lonely Igglybuff, silently singing for my own sake.
Master Hand started reading off names and dorm-mates. I was roomed with Peach. Good! Kirby was on the floor above me, roomed with Pikachu. I smiled; the two would fight. After all, Pikachu was still after my heart after all this time.
I wondered who Lucario; a good friend of mine, would be roomed with. I never heard, since Kirby started asking me if I wanted to go to a movie with him tomorrow tonight. I nodded, always loving to go to movies with Kirby. We would laugh at funny parts, but all we ever went to were comedies. Neither of us liked any other genre. Although I always wanted to watch a romance movie. I loved stories about true love.
It was during dinner I first saw him. On the first night, last night, and holidays, we ate in the big dining room Master Hand had inside the mansion. Me and Kirby loved it; me because of the beautiful imagery painted on the walls and ceiling, Kirby because of the food. I was looking around the table, wondering where Lucario went to.
I found him after a minute of searching. He was sitting near Master Hand, like all newcomers. I smiled and waved, which he returned. Something, or rather someone, caught my eye.
I blinked several times in shock. It was a puffball, like Kirby. He wore a gleaming silver mask, black armored shoulder pads, a silky looking cape, and a snow white mantle. His snake-like eyes were focused on me; and me alone. I shivered. It felt like he was staring right through me. Who was he?
The stranger looked away only when Master Hand tapped on his glass, nearly breaking it. Everyone stopped chatting and looked at the right hand glove, waiting for his speech.
"Welcome, all Smashers." He started. "I'm glad that all of you have decided to come back."
The puffball looked at me again, as if knowing that line was meant for me. But his gaze returned to Master Hand.
"Today marks the beginning of Super Smash Brothers, and Sisters, Brawl. Let us all give a toast to the good health of us and all who visit." Master Hand said, raising his glass. Everyone else copied; except for the puffball. He just stared at it.
"Cheers!" everyone said at once. We lifted our glasses to our lips, drinking the liquid. I smiled as I put my glass down for more. Everyone looked at Master Hand again, but just waved off our patience. How un-Master Hand like.
The big wooden doors opened, and the servants (Wire Frames) walked in with our food. The male Captain Falcon-like Wire Frames looked funny in a tuxedo, while the female Zelda-like Wire Frames were very pretty in maid outfits.
Once again I felt the puffball's icy gaze on me. Why couldn't he look at someone else? Kirby glared at him, and pulled me closer to him. Whoever that puffball was, it was obvious Kirby didn't like him. I snuggled closer to my boyfriend, smiling.
A Zelda-Wire Frame gave me and Kirby our food, which Kirby happily accepted. A male Captain Falcon-Wire Frame gave the puffball his food, which he pushed away and got up. All eyes were on the puffball as the doors threw themselves open and he walked out. Kirby sighed, and hugged me.
"Let's ignore him." Kirby said, and I caught a hint of hatred in his normally happy voice. I smiled and nodded, but throughout dinner thoughts of the puffball plagued me. Just like his icy glare, which made me think that he was still sitting there.

Later on, Kirby walked me to my dorm. We parted at my door, and exchanged a quick kiss as goodbye. Kirby waved to me as he walked down the hall alone, heading towards the elevator. I sighed. It was too early to go to bed, but the stars were out. I walked outside, smiling.
Everything turned cold.
There he was, standing on top of the garden fountain. My first thought was to run, but he didn't seem to have noticed me yet. His cape fluttered in the breeze, making it difficult to tell if it was velvet, silk, cotton, or leather. The cloth seemed to flicker from each material.
I swallowed the lump that had risen in my throat, and backed away from his silent figure. Even as I threw the sliding door to my room open, he hadn't moved. I closed the door, panting. I looked at my suitcase, and decided to unpack.
Peach walked when I was almost finished unpacking. She smiled, pulling her own pink suitcase inside. We unpacked together, with Peach yammering on about something to do with a mushroom infection in the Mushroom Kingdom. I remained silent, as I normally am when I'm thinking.
That man… who is he? What about him makes it so I can't stop thinking about him?
"Jigglypuff!" Peach snapped me out of my thoughts. I look up at her, blinking. She pointed out which bed was mine, and which was her's. I nodded, not really caring where I slept. Heck, I could sleep on the small sofa in the room if I wanted to.
"Hey, are you okay? You seem distracted." Peach asked me, worried. "Is something wrong?"
"I'm going to a movie with Kirby tomorrow." I lied. Well, it wasn't a total lie. I was going to a movie with Kirby, but the only puffball on my mind was that dark one. Peach's eyes turned sparkly, and she started yammering on about how cute we were together. I rolled my eyes, sighing.
I crawled into bed, telling Peach goodnight and shutting the light off. I fell asleep quickly.
But even within my sanctuary of dreams, the dark puffball's eyes watched me. And outside, the wind circled around his round body, as if his pet.

Morning was one of my favorite times of the day in the Smash Mansion. Most of the heroes, and heroines, I sat with were morning people.
Master Hand, since he didn't want needless fighting to break out within the mansion, separated the heroes and heroines from the villains and villainesses. I sat with the rest of the female heroines, like I did in Melee. Pichu sat next to me, smiling the whole time and shifting her blue goggles. Peach was on the other side of me, giggling at everything we said about boys. Zelda and Samus sat across from me, with Nana on Samus' side.
"So then, I said that--" Peach continued her long talk about some girl named The Shadow Queen. She was interrupted by loud guffaws. She turned around in her seat, and I looked behind myself.
The Villains and Villainesses table was behind us, and a large penguin-like thing was laughing at Bowser, who had sculpted his muffin into a Mario shape and was roasting it.
I froze.
The dark puffball was sitting at the Villain table. He was reading a book, with a plate of what looked like cinnamon rolls and a mug of tea in front of him. Ganondorf was sitting next to him, laughing as the penguin took an oversized hammer out and pounded his Kirby-shaped egg with it. The puffball rolled his yellow snake-like eyes, scoffing.
Bowser noticed us, the Heroines, looking at them. He waved at Peach, who turned pale. Ganondorf and the penguin laughed, pointing at Peach. The puffball looked up, stealing my gaze away. I shivered, looking back at my breakfast of Oran Berry muffins. I could still feel his icy glare on my back.

-Meta Knight's POV-
I narrowed my eyes, glaring at my "roommate" Ganondorf. He was pointing at Dedede and Bowser, who were destroying their breakfast. I rolled my eyes, returning my attention to my book. My gaze shifted upward.
That girl. What was her name again? Oh yes; Jigglypuff. She was certainly not like those other females at the table she was sitting at. Something about her made it so I couldn't resist looking at her, no matter where we were at.
"Hey, Mena Knight, ya listenin?" Bowser asked, throwing his burnt Muffin into the air and swallowing it whole.
"My name is Meta Knight." I responded, my gaze flickering from Jigglypuff to the large Koopa. Bowser rolled his red lizard eyes and started on about something to do with that princess girl Jigglypuff was sitting next to. I was not listening to him, since by my standards Bowser was a follower, and I am a Leader. He was not important.
Dedede added something to do with another princess, but I ignored him and looked at Jigglypuff again. She was… beautiful… so beautiful…
I mentally slapped myself. I must keep my heart to myself! I will not become a love-sick fool, pining for some female brat!
Jigglypuff glanced behind herself, shivering. Our eyes meet, my plain yellow eyes focused on those Aquamarine pools. She gasps, and looks away, shivering uncontrollably.
Normally, I would laugh at her weakness, but all I felt was my lonely heart. I looked back over to Dedede, who was being strangled by Ganondorf, who was yelling something similar to "keep your grubby paws off Zelda, SHE'S MINE!!!"
I rolled my eyes, taking another sip of my tea and returning to my book. Dedede, if I was correct, was turning bluer than normal. Master Hand had to come over and "save" that bastard bird from Ganondorf. Bowser was laughing by the time Master Hand was done scolding the two like children, and I must admit I was holding my laughter in too.
"It wasn't funny!!" Ganondorf took a "sword" and aimed it at Bowser's head. "How 'bout you try laughing with no head?"
Bowser stopped laughing, and hid under the table. I simply rolled my eyes, getting up and throwing my garbage away. For one last time, my gaze shifted to Jigglypuff. She hadn't moved from her seat, and was laughing.
I tore my gaze away, and walked out of the cafeteria. My metal shoes clicked on the stone, although I feel lost in my thoughts.
Why the hell can I not stop thinking about that godamn Pokémon?! She is nothing to me! Nothing! Compared to me, she is the lowest servant!
Footsteps echo down the hall, heading in my direction. As quick as the blue hedgehog, no, quicker, I dash into the shadows behind a pillar.
Jigglypuff and Kirby walk down the hall, unaware of my presence. They were holding hands, both with near identical smiles on their pink faces. I feel my fist tensing with envy.
Such a feeling is normal to me now. Ever since I met Kirby, I have strived to become stronger than he ever dreamed. I gained what I could, stole from him what I could not. I am his rival… no, I am his worst enemy!
Jigglypuff giggles, and Kirby laughs in that stupid high-pitched voice of his. I will my hearing to catch what they are speaking.
"That sounds like a perfect movie!" Jigglypuff twirls, giggling.
"I thought you might like it! We have about a hour or so before it starts, so hopefully we won't be late this time…" Kirby trails off, looking behind his shoulder at me. Dammit, I forgot he could sense my power! I slide farther into the shadows, willing them to hide me from his eyes. Jigglypuff asks him what's wrong, he tells her nothing, and they continue on their way.
I slink out of the shadows, and continue my own way to my room. Why not? After all, it is not like I have anything else to do.
Crystal Medalis: Was it enjoyable? Please let me know, since my counterpart is... well, she (while you were reading) knocked herself into a coma by slamming her head on her desk. Now, will you bear with my explainations?
"What's Shangri-La?" Shangri-La is a place in Chinese mythology. Most likely comparable with Heaven, or Eden. Also a song by Angela, which can be found on Youtube in English (translated by thedarknessvoid).
"Meta Knight isn't a villain!" Well, you have no proof. My counterpart holds no interest in what... side, let's call it, that the Anime; Hoshi no Kaabii (Kirby of the Stars/Kirby Right Back At Ya!) placed him in. She prefers his "Game" counterpart, who has shown more "demonic" actions and evil intentions. Therenfore, the Meta Knight in most of her fictions is "evil".
I hope you will continue reading. Thank you. *bows*
