Hi! Insan here!
Just to let you all know, I'm new here, so please don't be too hard on me. This is my first story and all…
Super Smash Bros. Brawl © Nintendo
1- The New Job
I don't really know how it happened, but I finally did it! I got a job!
By the way, my name is Mai Kappougi, I'm 18, although I look about fourteen, at best, and I've got horrible luck.
…Well… I really guess I shouldn't completely blame this on luck; I've never been good at anything but cooking, so I guess that kind of limited my options…
But I'd found a job! I was so happy when I saw a want ad in the newspaper, and I called in and got accepted right away! Recently, jobs have been scarce for cooks, considering every restaurant in Japan seems to already have a cook.
Come to think of it, I never really found out what this job was.
The ad merely said "Cook wanted" then listed a number, and when I called in, they accepted me almost right after I called.
Hmm… I began to walk through a tunnel. Come to think of it, they never mentioned any tunnels on the directions; maybe they forgot to add it on?
I found the tunnel so devoid of light, it was sickening. I began to think it would never end. If I wasn't walking, I'd probably have something so I could, al least, see the walls of the cave.
I groaned. This was taking forever! What…
But then I saw something… Light!
A Glimmer of hope!
I ran towards it (You would to if you knew how long I was stuck in there) but got quite a surprise at the end.
I gaped, "Th-this isn't p-p-possible!" I stammered.
My surroundings could be considered normal… if I was living in the mushroom kingdom my whole life!
It was so weird… there was purely green, almost carpel-like grass, and everything had eyes! Oh, god, if I had a 100¥ for every pair of eyes there, I could live without any worry about money ever again!
I had to go on, though I found it odd. even the path had gone from a reasonably normal grey to a strange, red-and-yellow… I can hardly describe it!
I walked on and got more and more curious, was this really the mushroom kingdom? Would I have to work here?!
"Maybe it's some kind of Mario-based theme park." I thought to myself, but then I noticed something, "My god… It's a koopa!"
This was getting weirder and weirder, and even weirder when the koopa just walked off the cliff
…Then again, only red koopas turn around in the game, so why not here?
I began to run, not for any real reason just out of fear, until I reached this weird looking tower.
I stopped, not wanting to run into it, and looked up, "m-my, doe this tower even heave a top?"
I stood there gawking until I herd a "Ding!" and I looked down.
Right before, where there had only been a black wall, there was now an opening, and inside was something of an elevator.
I walked in, not knowing what else to do, the road ended there.
Inside I saw a multitude of buttons marked strange things like "Super Mario World", "Flat Zone", and "Hyrule".
Without really thinking, I pressed one that seemed normal enough "Lobby".
The opening just seemed to kind of disappear, and, having nothing else to do, I waited.
I recognized most of the named places, and I figured that before I was just in "Super Mario World".
Eventually I stopped, but where I stopped seemed more like a field then a lobby. I was about to step out when some guy dressed in- I gasped. That was link!
My Well-kept, jet-black hair began to stand up on end. This was clearly Hyrule, but why…
Link walked in the tower… elevator… thing like it was nothing new.
He walked in and immediately looked to press a button, but I guess he wanted to go to "Lobby" as well, so he turned around and noticed me.
He offered me a friendly handshake as if to say "Hello, stranger! Who might you be?"
I blinked, and then, slowly a cautiously took his hand and shook it, saying shakily "H-Hi… M-m-my name is…" I stumbled for a second, "…M-Mai."
He grinned widely, then, looked over at my bag and made a kind of gesture as to say "What's in there?"
I blinked, not aware of this at first, then realized he must have smelled the cookies I brought to make a good impression on whomever the employer may be.
I cautiously took them out and offered one to link. He took it and stared at it puzzled.
I thought, "Maybe Hylins don't know what cookies are."
I took one out for myself and said to him "It's a cookie it's food. You eat it," I took a bite, "see?"
Link looked surprised, and, cautiously, took a bite.
He gasped in delight and instantly snatched the bag from me, wanting to eat more.
"I-I can guess you like cookies." I stammered. Link nodded.
He opened his eyes wide, like he realized something, and reached into his pack, pulling out a glowing bottle.
"What's that?" I asked. Link just grinned and unscrewed the cap.
A fairy flied out! A fairy!
I was wild with excitement, "A-a fairy?" I asked.
Link nodded, smiling, "Y-Your g-giving her to me?" I asked. He nodded again.
The fairy flew in close to me and looked me in the eyes, and then it began flying around me playfully, Link and I couldn't help but laugh.
When we got to the lobby, it was like nothing I've ever seen before!
Nintendo stars all around.
My heart missed a beat; I didn't think there'd be so many people here. It was like walking into Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
My thoughts raced to that game, which was one game I had no talent in.
My fairy floated over my shoulder, at least with it I didn't seem too out of place.
"Where do I go now…" I wondered to myself, when suddenly someone grabbed my hand.
I nearly jumped. "Wha?" I looked, and it was a fat midget wearing red.
"M-Mario!" I stuttered in amazement.
"Yes, it's-a-me," he said, "So, Who are you?
