So I actually decided to do something a bit different. Instead of making a new fic altogether, I'm going to fix and finish an old one I made that was never posted.
((Also, if anyone has read Leonanson's fic "Camp Smash", that is the fic that motivated me to start my own. You may find that mine has some little similarities to theirs, so if you read and enjoyed that fic, you might like mine as well.))
Side notes: It's really important that you look over these before reading, to avoid any confusion. If you don't want to look at the ship list, that's perfectly okay and it can be skipped to avoid spoilers. The injuries and characters sections are very important though, so to properly understand this fic is recommended that you take a look at them.
DLC: I started writing this before all of the DLC characters were out (stupid, I know) so this fanfiction does not include Cloud, Corrin, or Bayonetta. I know I could have just edited the fic a little to put them in, but I didn't find they would have much significance so I just left it as is.
Characters: The roster has been slightly altered, due to my creative(?) mindsets on some characters. Robin and Villager have both been divided into both a male and female version of themselves. They behave differently, and are separate as individuals. A female version of a character is indicated by an asterisk at the end of their name. For example: Robin = male, Robin* = female. Wii Fit trainer is one, genderfluid character, but I use the pronoun "she" to avoid confusion. The Koopalings all exist separately, but only one (different each time) competes in organized combat. Samus and Zero Suit Samus have been combined into one character.
Language: AU where everyone can understand each other's means of communication. Tw: swearing. (Not excessive)
Injuries: Smashers cannot be physically damaged while in any form of organized combat. This meaning practices, tournaments or anything that is set up and planned. They can, however, be injured outside of organized combat.
Ships: (In order of relevance, with intensity description)
-Ness/Lucas (platonic/romantic) *most important*
-Sheik/Robin* (romantic/suggestive)
-Pit/Marth (romantic/flirty/suggestive)
-Link/Shulk (romantic)
-Samus/Zelda (romantic)
-Villager*/Megaman (platonic/romantic)
-Rosalina/Palutena (platonic/romantic)
-Robin/Peach (platonic/romantic)
Chapter 1. Early morning excitement.
"No way! Everyone knows that I could beat you with my eyes closed!"
"We'll have to see about that."
"HAAHHH!"
I was awoken by a loud thud coming from the hallway. I looked over at the clock and groaned; it was 8:30 and I could already hear the other smashers arguing over something. I rolled over so my legs hung off the bed, and sat there until I could see straight. I stood up and walked over towards the door; opening it carefully.
"Good morning Ness!" Pit greeted me cheerfully from under Toon Link.
"Uhh, everything okay guys?" I giggled, a little confused as to why the two were in such a situation.
"Yeah we're fine, Pit still thinks he's going to win the archery competition today. He got sassy so I tackled him." Toon Link loosened his grip on Pit's shoulders and stood up. "I think it's pretty well known that I'm the best archer of all time." Toon Link bragged, sticking out his chest a bit for effect.
"Oh right, that's today!" I exclaimed. How could I forget about that? "I wish you both the best of luck."
"Thanks; I've been practicing all week!" Pit said. He sounded proud of himself.
"I'm still gonna kick your butt though." Toon Link snickered, shooting Pit a competitive glare.
"Is that so? You're so short you probably won't even be able to see the targets!" Pit teased back.
"Now, guys; no insults before lunch, remember? We've been through this before." Said a female voice from behind me.
"Oh, hello Zelda! Me and Toonie were only kidding around." Pit laughed in embarrassment. I turned around, to see the well dressed woman with long brown hair that matched the voice we just heard.
"I know, don't worry. I'm aware the two of you are friends." Zelda had such a mellow sense of humour.
"Ness, you're still in your pyjamas; why don't you go get dressed and the four of us can go have some breakfast. I heard Jigglypuff and Kirby were making pancakes!" She said with a gentle smile.
"Pancakes?!" Toon Link nearly flew through the hall, knocking Pit back down in the process. Zelda caught him by the back of his tunic.
"Wait, Ness still has to get dressed!" Zelda chuckled, amused by Toon Link's energy.
"Don't worry Toon Link," I said while helping Pit back up. "I'll be quick!"
I scurried into my room in a rather fast manner, seeing how hungry Toon Link was. It was spring, so I pulled on a white shirt with royal blue sleeves and my favourite denim shorts. I stepped into my shoes, tied them and headed back out to meet the others.
I was nearly ran over by Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong, who heard about the pancakes from Falco and came barreling down the hallway right after. The Smash mansion was usually pretty hectic like this in the mornings.
"Ness is ready! Come on guys lets go!" Toon Link announced as he bolted towards the cafeteria. Zelda smiled and followed behind him. Pit stayed back to walk beside me.
"So Ness, who do you think is gonna win today?" Pit questioned as we walked to breakfast. I thought for a moment.
"I'm not really sure. I'd say you'll do quite well, but Link and TL might be a bit of a competition. After all, they have had a lot of practice." I responded respectfully.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. As long as I have a good time, I'll be satisfied with how it goes." Pit added. He was always so optimistic about everything.
We got to the cafeteria shortly, and to no surprise we were met with several other smashers commenting on the pancakes being made.
"Aww, cute!" Toon Link commented on Kirby flipping pancakes with his chef hat. Kirby made a few happy sounding noises upon seeing us.
"Good morning! If you guys wanna go pick some seats, we'll deliver you some personalized pancakes when they're ready." He said with a smile.
"Personalized? Wow, he's really giving it his all." I said, impressed by his efforts. Kirby and Jigglypuff were both pretty creative. We went into the dining hall to find somewhere to sit and await our breakfast.
"Hey Ness, do you and your friends want to sit with us?" Villager called from across the room. He was joined by Rosalina and Yoshi; who both waved at our group.
"Sure!" I answered, signalling the other 3 to follow me. Before I could even sit down, Toon Link was already jumping around and screaming over the others pancake designs.
"Woah, that's so cool!" Toon Link exclaimed, as he took Rosalina's plate to look at it closely. "Look guys, hers are shaped like star bits! Isn't that awesome!?" The others all gathered to admire the pancakes.
I took a seat beside Villager and Pit. Villager's was shaped like a leaf type thing, and Yoshi's looked like spotted eggs; similar to the ones he traps the other smashers in during practice.
Toon Link ran over to sit with Villager, which is nothing out of the ordinary; those two were pretty close. Zelda made friendly chat with Rosalina about the upcoming events, and Pit was soon joined by Shulk, who came over to sit with us as well. I could hear his foreign accent slip through during their conversation.
I just sat amongst myself while everyone else spoke. I never had a really good friend that I was always around in the smash mansion. Sure, I had people I hung around with, but I didn't really have someone to call a best friend. I'm sure there were others who don't really have best friends either, but it would be nice to have someone to talk to.
I was then cut off from my thoughts by sounds of excitement from the rest of the group.
"Look guys, our pancakes are ready!" Toon Link said gleefully. Jigglypuff scuttled over to pass us our plates as various "ooh's" and "ahh's" came from the others.
Mine was shaped like a Mr. Saturn, which I found quite cute. I didn't pay much attention to what the others had. It had to do with hunger getting the best of me and the fact that Toon Link and Pit practically inhaled their pancakes.
Everyone else finished and continued on with their normal conversations, none of which I joined. I'm not sure why, but I just didn't feel myself this morning. Maybe it was the stress of having so many people around all the time.
Yeah. That was probably it.
