Note: This is a special holiday triple-shot (three-part) story in honor of the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch (which I got from Santa on Christmas Day), taking place on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day 2019! Does not connect to my upcoming 2018 Christmas crossover, but it does have a lot of fun, laughter, friendship and a bit of fluffy romance. There will also be some pairings different any of the game series. Rated K+. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. Enjoy.
SMASHERS IN THE HOTEL
PART 1
New Year's Eve. 5PM.
All the Smash Bros. fighters (including echoes, new challengers, extra variants, and both Master and Crazy Hands) were almost at the end of their five-day promotional demo tour for the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game, for the New Year of 2019.
Their last tour of the year took part at cities such as Denver, Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco in California; and lastly Portland, Oregon.
They were on their way back to the Smash Mansion since their tour was finished.
All of the Smashers were travelling in a big and wide Greyhound-like Smash bus that Master Hand and Crazy Hand owned. Of course, Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Fox, Samus, Donkey Kong and Yoshi were sitting in the front, while others like Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Falco, Zero Suit Samus, Lucina, Pit, Ice Climbers, Marth, Snake, Zelda, Peach, Villager, Duck Hunt, Bowser, Ganondorf, the two Pokemon Trainers, Ridley, Wolf, Simon, King K. Rool, Isabelle, Incineroar, Joker, the Piranha Plant and the rest were all seated in the bus.
Master and Crazy Hands were driving the bus, on route back to the Smash Mansion after their long roadtrip across the state.
"It was-a so nice-a for us to showcase the newly-released Smash-a Bros. Ultimate for the last time this-a year before 2019. The game has-a been selling out like-a hotcakes when-a Nintendo first launched it. Thanks to-a them, it must be one of the best-a games of the year!", Mario stated to all his Smasher friends.
Master Hand delightfully said whilst driving, "Right you are, Mario. Just letting you all know that we will be arriving in maybe two hours and 15 minutes."
"So hold on tight everyone, because it's almost New Year's Day!", Crazy Hand excites.
Kirby asked, "Poyo?", to Mario, translating 'You were saying?'.
"It's-a possible that for some people-a think our game-a is one of the best-a this year, and of all time.", the plumber mascot said again.
Link said, "Unless if some have to judge on God of War, Celeste or Red Dead Redemption 2 on their lists that would beat our game."
"Or maybe even Tetris Effect!", Pikachu judges.
Donkey Kong anticipated, "Who knows? What's more exciting is that we had a fun time in our five-day tour. And New Year's is upon us!"
"Oh darn heck it is!", King K. Rool said at the back of the bus seated next to Isabelle.
Mario cheered with his fist up, doing his Mario jump, "Let's-a go!", with some of the Smashers laughing.
Lucina couldn't help but watch Mario excited for the coming new year. She never felt so happy for him like her compassion with her father Chrom and her boyfriend Robin, those said are in the Smasher bus with her (the latter two different genders like Corrin, Wii Fit and Pokemon Trainers).
Everyone in the bus but Lucina, and both Master and Crazy Hands, began singing the traditional New Year's ballad loudly in unison.
A few moments later, both hands spoke to everyone, "COULD YOU KEEP IT DOWN?", resulting in all the Smashers turning silent after their outburst; the hands both apologized, "That's better. Sorry for yelling. Hard to drive when you all sing like that."
"Sorry.", all the Smashers said.
Pichu mutters spoilishly, "Why does Master and Crazy Hand have to ruin our fun sometimes?"
"Looks like some people are feeling grumpy on New Year's Eve.", Mewtwo agrees, resting his arms and looking out the
Ness nervously said, "Now what can we all do while we wait?"
"Oh cheer up, Ness. Yes, we're sure we can figure out a way to entertain ourselves for the rest of the trip back.", Captain Falcon hoped, patting Ness on the back.
King Dedede sighed, "Wonder if there's a movie we could all watch for some entertainment. Since our coach bus has a DVD player."
"Oh! I got one! How about...Super M-m-m-ma-a-a-rio B-b-bro-o-o-others?", chillingly said Luigi in embarassment, slowly holding out the Super Mario Bros. 1993 movie on DVD.
Everyone but Luigi responded, "No."
"That-a movie was-a horrible! They did-a awful for us-a Mario characters!", Mario conned about the movie, "But not-a to blame, the special effects-a was-a so impressive.", giving Luigi a thumbs up, "How about-a you, Sonic? Any suggestions?"
Sonic told him, "Unfortunately my movie doesn't come out until November 2019. But as an alternative option, how about we try Rampage?", holding out a DVD of the 2018 movie Rampage.
"That-a could work.", Mario said.
Link asked, "Pikachu? You?", to the Pokemon if he has a movie suggestion.
"You mean Pokemon: Detective Pikachu? No. Sadly, it doesn't come out until this May.", Pikachu spoke.
Ridley grunted, "How about Warcraft?"
"That's maybe a good one too.", Fox accepts, as Samus glares at him due to agreeing with Ridley (Samus' nemesis), "What? I love Warcraft."
Wolf said to Ridley next to him at his seat, "So do I."
"Okay, is there one more suggestion in the crowd before we vote?", Marth asked everyone.
"Street Fighter, the 1994 movie?", Ryu and Ken asked.
Cloud suggests, "Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within?"
"Tomb Raider? Heard that chick is hot.", Snake guessed.
Link chose, "No, no and no!"
"Is-a there any film that isn't-a video game related?", Mario facepalmed.
"Crazy Rich Asians?"
Mario looks over to the one who suggested the movie.
It was Lucina, who was holding out the DVD/Blu-Ray combo of Crazy Rich Asians.
"Why-a...yes? Thank-a you, Lucina.", Mario thanked, borrowing the DVD/Blu-Ray boxset.
Lucina smiled softly, "You're very welcome."
"Okay, the vote is-a on. We-a. Who wants-a to watch-a Warcraft?", Mario, the leader of the Smashers, questioned.
About 25 of the Smashers rose their hands, such as Link, Bowser, Ganondorf, Pit, Dark Pit, Dark Samus, Sheik, Fox, Wolf, Ridley, Roy, Meta Knight, Male Corrin, Simon, Richter, R.O.B, Shulk, Palutena, Charizard, Ivysaur, Ryu, Ken, Cloud and Young Link.
"Who wants-a to watch-a Rampage?"
26 more of the Smashers rose their hands, including Pikachu, Kirby, the Mii Fighters (Brawler, Swordfighter and Gunner), Yoshi, Captain Falcon, Ness, Lucas, Samus, Marth, Ike, Zero Suit Samus, Snake, Male Robin, Ice Climbers Popo & Nana, Mewtwo, Toon Link, Wario, Piranha Plant, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Incineroar, King K. Rool, King Dedede and Bowser Jr.
"And who wants-a to see-a Crazy Rich Asians?"
The remaining Smashers rose their hands, involving Peach, Daisy, Female Corrin, Female Robin, Little Mac, Greninja, Lucario, Male and Female Wii Fit and Pokemon Trainers, Squirtle, Rosalina & Luma, Mr. Game & Watch, Chrom, the Koopalings, Inkling Boy & Girl, Bayonetta, Olimar, Joker, Sonic, Duck Hunt, Isabelle, Pichu, Jigglypuff, Dr. Mario, Villagers, Mega Man, PAC-MAN, and especially Lucina.
"Okay, 46 beats-a 26 and-a 25. Crazy Rich Asians it is!", Mario decided, putting the disc in the DVD player.
Lucina looked out the window and saw the beautiful highways and snowy weather. Then, she heared Mario's voice, "Lucina?"
"What is it, Mario?", Lucina kindly mannered.
Mario wondered, "Would it-a be okay...", while Lucina was curious about what he's gonna say, "...if Marth and I-a switch seats?"
"Oh, of course.", Marth politely said, as he got out of his coach bus seat and took Mario's seat beside Link, while the legendary plumber sat down beside the brave princess of Exalt, both focused on the movie playing.
The 25-year-old plumber thought to himself, 'What am I-a doing? I-a should be sitting with-a the lovely princess Peach. But-a...Lucina looks...looks...', somehow induced by Lucina's beauty, who was about 20 years old.
"Mario?"
The Nintendo mascot gasps in surprise, turning to Lucina, "You scared-a me. I was-a thinking about-a how the New Year will go for all of us. No need-a to be-a rude."
"That's alright. Christmas was good too. I loved that new Super Mario Odyssey game you and Nintendo made for the Switch. It does look like a true Game of the Year to me.", Lucina complimented.
Mario added, "I-a too loved-a Fire Emblem Awakening on the 3DS. All of us-a have lots of-a great games, and-a lots of-a stories that must-a tell."
"Don't forget Online?", Yoshi waved to the two of them.
Meta Knight said a few rows back, "Online unfortunately was awful due of it's prices and features."
"Or how about Persona 5?", Joker said at the back, sitting next to Piranha Plant, "Obviously my RPG game is GOTY-material.", the Piranha Plant agreeing by snatching its jaws.
Link lastly said, "And The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Takes over hundreds of hours to complete the game and it's worth it. It takes the top GOTY prize back in 2017, thank you very much!"
"Can we just watch the movie?", Bowser and King Dedede blurted out.
Master Hand said when driving, "Thank you, Dedede. You can watch Crazy Rich Asians while we drive back to Redmond."
"Ok.", everyone in the bus but the two master hands said, continuing to watch the Crazy Rich Asians movie playing.
Of course, Mario believed the movie direction by Jon M. Chu was extremely well done (after his critical mishaps with G.I. Joe Retaliation, Jem and the Holograms and Now You See Me 2), and Lucina loved the jazzy swing-like original score by Brian Tyler, especially during the texting scene.
While the two watched it like everyone else, Mario slowly puts his arm on the seat's armrest where Lucina rested her arm, advertenently touching each other's hands.
"Oh!", Mario and Lucina felt and turned to each other, putting their arms away from the armrest and both blushing, turning away in embarrassment.
Like Mario thought before, he knew that his love is for the princess Peach.
But towards Lucina...or was it...
...was Mario starting to have a crush on Lucina?
7PM
Two hours have passed while Master and Crazy Hands were busy driving the coach bus. The Smashers, over the course of watching the majority Crazy Rich Asians, have never laughed so hard by some of the hilarious scenes in the movie.
The movie was reaching it's final scene of Crazy Rich Asians, the proposal, and some of the Smashers like Isabelle, Pit, Fox, King K. Rool and Bowser were whistling in surprising happiness, while everyone else clapped and laughed happily at the ending.
As the credits start to roll, Master Hand spoke, "Okay, everyone. I know you had fun watching Crazy Rich Asians on the movie player, but I wanted you all to know that we're arriving in Seattle very shortly.", before hearing his hand brother Crazy Hand yawn.
"You know, I'm starting to get a bit tired, bro.", Crazy Hand tiredly said.
Lucina rose her hand and agreed, "I believe Crazy Hand is right. It's starting to get dark."
"And we're all tired.", Corrin (Female) kindly asked.
Incineroar, who is sitting next to Ken, pleaded respectfully, "I don't want to be sleeping on the roof of the bus, or on the seat during the trip again!"
"Was that really necessary?", both Ken and King K. Rool sarcastically question.
Incineroar shrugs, "I beg to differ."
"Would it-a be possible if we check in to a hotel for only the night-a?", Mario requested, "It's New Year's Eve-a after all."
Master Hand hesitates for a moment on this decision. It was becoming night faster than they've thought by the time they would get there. Of course Master Hand wanted to drive all the way back to the Smash Mansion all in one piece. But he wanted to celebrate the new year with all the Smashers and his brother too.
He then answered, "Fine...by me.", in a tough and acceptable manner, "I suggest we shall go to Four Seasons."
"We never heard of that kind of hotel, other than the ones we stayed at before, around the world in the past. Is it good?", Simon and Richter ask.
Lucina admitted, "Me neither. When we did the tour for our previous games for 3DS and Wii U, we went worldwide over ten locations in about two weeks. That hotel, I've never been to."
"Oh, Four Seasons is-a amazing, Lucina.", Mario nodded, "Think of it as the perks of-a what luxury can-a bring you."
Sonic rose his hand, "As in like one of those super sweet over-the-top, five-star hotels. We all, including me, Mario, Luigi, Snake, Ice Climbers, Marth, Ike, Olimar, Toon Link, Wolf, and others, been there at the end of 2008 after Brawl came out. That happened before some of you guys debuted in the 3DS/Wii U and Ultimate installments, like you, Lucina, your father Chrom, King K. Rool, Villager, Little Mac, Incineroar, Isabelle, Simon, Ridley, Bayonetta, Ryu, Cloud, Inkling and many more."
"Is it true you went there before? And are you sure it's five-star?", the heroic princess of Exalt said.
The Nintendo mascot ensured, "It is-a."
Lucina was happy by this answer.
"Me and Crazy Hand remember, and we were there. A sweet paradise that we both may call. By the way, we'll be reaching the hotel in about five minutes.", Master Hand confirmed, as the Smashers (as well as Crazy Hand) immediately burst into cheers.
Mario and Link pointed to Master and Crazy with their thumbs, "What Master Hand said is true too. Paradise, here we come!"
"Stow the excitement for a bit! We're almost there.", Zelda and Peach say in unison.
Mario and Link apologize, "Sorry.", while Lucina giggled cutely at Mario's hilariously short misfortune.
The Smash Bros. coach bus was already arriving at Seattle, reaching the Four Seasons suite five minutes after, where it was not far from the Space Needle.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand then park outside the entrance of the Four Seasons hotel with ease.
"Ladies and gentleman, we're finally here!", Master Hand spoke with his Announcer impression.
Mario delighted, "Shall we?", reaching out his hand for Peach while closing her eyes.
But someone else took his hand. Mario opened his eyes to look who it was.
Once again, Lucina had took Mario's hand accidentally, unaware because she had her eyes closed in anticipation, the same way Mario did.
She looked at him the same time Mario did, and both jolted their hands away.
"My bad.", surprised Mario and Lucina in unison jinxing, "I thought you were... I was going to...", before turning to see the continuous inevitable.
Peach and Robin were looking at the two, asking respectively, "Mario?", and "Lucina?".
"This isn't what it looks like.", Mario and Lucina honestly sputtered, blushing, the former saying, "Let's-a just check-a into our suites for the night. Sorry you had to see that-a."
Both Peach and Robin momentarily became silent, before smiling and saying, "That's okay. At least it was an accident."
"PARTAY!", Bowser and Bowser Jr. said, excited like frat boys, and the first to come out of the coach bus, waiting for everyone else.
Luigi shell-shocked, "W-w-w-w-w-what's their deal?"
"They're gonna get lit, that's why.", Wendy, Roy (Mario), Ludwig and Lemmy all said.
Marth and Ike assume, "And so is Duck Hunt.", as they saw Duck Hunt leap across and out of the coach bus, but not before Jigglypuff and Ice Climbers follow suit, "And Jigglypuff- AND Ice Climbers!"
"Just wait for us, okay?", Sheik and Pit exclaimed.
Master Hand tells everyone, "Don't go inside until we all get a chance to get out of the bus."
A few minutes pass by, and everyone, including Master Hand and Crazy Hand, finally left the bus.
"Mind if-a me and-a Link lead?", Mario inqueried to the two master hands.
Master and Crazy Hand allowed, "Yes, Mario. You and Link may go. You're the two most famous characters after all."
"Thanks.", Link high-fives and fistbumped Mario, as the Smashers all went inside the Four Seasons hotel...
To be continued...
