Toon Link's peaceful slumber was rudely interrupted by an enraged shriek that nearly made the little warrior fall off his bed. A cackle also came from the hallway, which was followed by another shout, this one deeper. Wondering what could possibly be happening at seven in the morning, Toon quickly slipped off his brightly-colored pajamas and into his normal outfit. He scurried to the door but quickly stopped and glanced back for a moment. Surprisingly, his roommates, Ness and Lucas, were both missing. Had they already woken up? Hearing more shrieks and breaking sounds, the blonde snapped his attention back to the door and yanked it open, carefully walking out of his room, closing the door behind him with a click. Another mischievous laugh echoed from another part of the mansion, which Toon Link now recognized as Wario. He facepalmed.
What could that man be up to now?
Wario was notorious for causing trouble for the other Brawlers, it didn't matter who it was. He even pulled pranks of Samus and Snake, and no one did that! Toon Link turned to his left and dashed off toward, what most called, the main room. It was basically a giant living room filled with couches and tables for the Brawlers to socialize as they pleased. As expected, some were in there more than others. As the green-clad boy ran, his boots made dull thudding noises against the red carpet.
Upon reaching the main room, he was greeted with a mess. Pieces of wood, which had once been elegant chairs, scattered the floor and most of the tables had been flipped (Haha). Mario and Fox were in the room, picking up what was left of the chairs while Falco grunted as he set the tables back to where they were. Toon Link spotted several purple and blue shards of what he guessed had been a vase to his right. One of the couches, which happened to be Toon Link's favorite, had been nearly ripped in half. Standing in front of it was a very irritated looking Zelda, her gloved fingers on her temples. Careful not to startle the frustrated princess, Toon Link softly asked while walking over to her, "What happened, Zelda?"
The pretty brunette lifted her head and placed her hand back to her side, her blue eyes glimmering with emotions. "Oh, hello, Toon.", she greeted, obviously barely restraining herself from yelling at the much smaller Brawler, "Wario decided it would be a good idea to ruin all of Donkey Kong's bananas AND dye Ganondorf's cape pink." Her voice was high-pitched with stress, though Toon Link couldn't help but giggle at the thought of the proud and dark Ganondorf wearing a bright pink cape. This earned him a glare from the princess. "S-sorry..." he mumbled, ears lowering. Zelda was usually a very kind person, but her glare was like ice. Seeing the boy's reaction, Zelda's face softened, she could never be mad at him for long. "No, it's fine. I just-"
She was cut off as a loud beeping noise rang from the kitchen, hurting both Hylian's sensitive ears. Sonic rushed out of the kitchen and began to run around the wrecked room, shouting, "Run for your lives, Ike set the kitchen on fire!" "I did not!" came the blue-haired warrior's reply as he stormed out of the kitchen, his cape badly burnt, "It was your fault, you stupid hedgehog!" The insult made Sonic screech to a halt and his green eyes became daggers, "You're the one who set the kitchen in flames, how am I stupid?!" While the two continued their argument, Yoshi let out a few of his trademark cries while rushing out of the kitchen, which now had smoke floating out of it, and Pit shouted, "I regret nothing!" before disappearing down a hallway, a door being slammed shut.
"Will everyone just calm down?!" cried Zelda, trying to get everyone's attention.
Toon Link covered his ears and whimpered, all of the shouting and beeping was giving him a headache. Another sharp pain shot through him as a roar erupted from one of the hallways that was connected to the main room. Wario was a purple and yellow blur as he ran down the hallway that Toon Link had came from, a wicked grin spread across his face as usual. The blonde warrior didn't know the stubby man could run so quickly. Not far behind him was Donkey Kong, his face twisted in anger. An equally mad Diddy Kong rode on his back, letting out shrieks and cries. Right behind the furious mammals was Ganondorf, his cape, which once made him even more intimidating than he already was, was now a bright pink, it was almost blinding. The three vanished down the hall after Wario, their yells still audible all throughout the mansion.
Toon Link sighed, his headache slowly becoming a migraine. He had learned long ago one cannot get a full eight hours sleep in the mansion.
