It was a cold, January morning. The holidays were over and it was the beginning of the year 2015. A young male tactician, whose name was Robin, wanted to go out for a hot chocolate. He decided to go to his favorite coffee shop because it's not only a place for him to warm up, but also to study his magic. He wanted to improve his magic skills in the next Smash tournament, which was coming up in a few weeks.

Robin went into the coffee shop after walking in the cold for 5 minutes. He went up to the clerk and asked for a large cup of hot chocolate. Once he paid for his drink, he waited for it to be ready. After he received his drink, he sat at one of the tables close to the fireplace. He felt that if he sat by a heat source, it would help him with his studies more.

While Robin waited for his hot chocolate to cool down a bit, he opened his magic book and read it for a while. He was currently on the thunder section. While he studied his magic book, a huge Native American guy walked into the coffee shop. Once he paid for his drink and received it when it was ready, he sat by the fireplace right next to Robin. Robin looked up and saw the guy sitting next to him.

"I haven't seen you here before," Robin said. "Are you new around here?"

"I'm just a tourist," said the big guy. "I'm on vacation with my girlfriend and decided to get something to drink while she is sleeping in at our hotel room,"

"I'm studying magic," said Robin. "I came here to get my study skills improved,"

"What kind of magic are you studying?"

"At the moment, I'm studying thunder magic. I'm trying to learn how to improve my thunder casting skills,"

"Is learning magic hard?"

"Yeah, but once you study a lot, you can get the hang of it,"

"What's your name, by the way?"

"My name's Robin. What's yours?"

"I'm Thunder Hawk, but you can call me T. Hawk for short,"

"Very interesting name," Robin said as he took a sip of his hot chocolate. "Are you enjoying your vacation time here in Smash Bros City?"

"It's a nice place," said T. Hawk. "I come from the Street Fighter world. Ever heard of Street Fighter?"

"I haven't," said Robin.

"It's just like this world, only it's very different. In Street Fighter, you don't have a damage percentage meter. Instead, you have a health bar. You get KOed once your health bar runs out. We also have moves that are similar to your Final Smashes, but we don't hit a Smash Ball just to get our power. Our moves are called ultra-combos and super combos. Some of them can KO an opponent instantly."

"You have a very interesting world, it seems," said Robin. "How long have you been a Street Fighter?"

"Since 1993," said T. Hawk. "How long have you been in Smash Bros?"

"Since October of 2014," said Robin. "So, I'm new to the franchise."

"Well, welcome to the fighter club," said T. Hawk. He took a few sips of his black coffee. "Someday you should check out the world of Street Fighter. If you ever plan to take a vacation there, you should challenge me."

"That would be wonderful!"

T. Hawk took some more sips of his coffee. "Just be aware that my fighting moves are not like yours at all. I am not a magic caster, as you probably know. I fight more with physical attacks. Pretty much everybody in the Street Fighter universe fight with physical attacks."

"Here, we have our own styles of fighting," said Robin. "Since you're still here in the Smash Bros. universe, how about if we meet up at the Fire Emblem stage in a few days and challenge each other there?"

"I'll accept your challenge," said T. Hawk. He finished up his coffee and stood up. "Well, I have to go, but before I go, here's my cell number." He wrote down his cell number on a piece of paper and gave it to Robin. "If you call or text me, just tell me who you are so I'll know you're not some creep trying to call me,"

"I'll call you tomorrow," said Robin. "It was nice meeting you, T. Hawk!

"Nice meeting you too, Robin," said T. Hawk. He exited the coffee shop. Robin smiled and drank some more of his hot chocolate. He was happy to have made a new friend from another universe. Once he got done with his studying, Robin walked home and went on the internet to read more about the Street Fighter universe. Will Robin and T. Hawk have an epic battle next time they meet?
