Another story, this time, with the song "The Moon Rises" by ponyphonic on YouTube, with Lucina in mind. Funny story, actually; I was reading some SSB comics and then, I had a thought: hardly nobody likes Lucina because of the fact that she's a clone of Marth. I even heard some people say that they would switch out her for Pichu on a webpage, and that's just sad. She's a good character to have in Smash. I mean, people don't have a problem with Dark Pit and he's technically a clone of Pit in cannon. Dr. Mario's been a clone since his introduction in Melee, so no one really cares if he's a clone or not. But as for Lucina and Pichu, my mains in Smash 4 and Melee, respectively... I feel like nobody wants them around. Well, what if they felt the same way, that in Smash, no one likes them because of the mere fact that they're clones? Well, I think it's time for them to show the world that they're just more than merely clones of more popular characters from their series and get the spotlight they should have been deserved to them a long time ago. I own nothing, the song is owned by ponyphonic and all respected things and characters to each their own company, blah blah blah, etc. To give you a guide on dialogue, when characters are either whispering or thinking, the text will be in italics. This is actually my first full story, so no flames, but any criticism and/ or advice is welcome. Without further ado, let's get on with it.

Chapter 1: Weakness to Bullying

Lucina had just came from another match against Bowser and Ganondorf, and it was brutal for her. "Even though it was a Free-For-All battle, they decided to put aside their differences and beat me for the sake that they both hate me in Smash as a clone", she muttered under her breath. "I was three stocks ahead of them, and yet I was the first to get out of the match." The only good thing that came out of it was that they were good sports to each other when Bowser threw Ganondorf in the air to give him that match. Other than that, some of the other smashers still made fun of her whenever she passed by them, calling her infuriating when compared to Marth. Well, it was the thirtieth time she was insulted by everyone she pasted. "Stupid people calling me a… grrrrr- Aw, come on people! I just got back from a match!" Apparently, to top it off on a sour note, she stepped on gum.

Right when she was about to go to her room, one of the main teasers of the smashers, the male version of Corrin, along with his female counterpart, caught her eye. Now, mind you, he only teases Lucina just to be friendly with her. The female Corrin, however, was strict, but friendly with her too. She's also the one who keeps her male counterpart in check whenever she was around.

"Hey! Lucina!", one of them shouted, followed by the other, yelling to her, "Over here!" She turned to see both Corrins waving at her. "Hey guys.", she said casually. Ever since they joined the roster, she's been kind to them both, since they were both… foreign royals and didn't know that you don't touch people's faces as a greeting. "How have you been doing these first three weeks here?"

Corrin, without giving any more thought, replied, "Great, thanks. Even though we'd have to join with Bayonetta, she's not all that bad and we'd even sparred with her a few hours ago, actually."

The female Corrin, nicknamed Core, finished with, "In other words, it was splendid. We miss our family a little, but we write to them when we can. How was your day?"

"How was my day? Okay, how do I put this…", Lucina mused. "Well, in the morning, I ended up smelling garlic cloves again.", to which they all muttered,"Stupid Wario.", "I forgot it was April Fools Day, so the younger smashers dumped a bunch of oatmeal, then at 2:30 PM, all of the Koopalings(including Bowser Jr.), Villager and his friends(for some reason), Toon Link and Duck Hunt chase me down like it was Duck Dynasty, and I just got back from a Free-For-All match…".

"Can you recap on what you did?", Corrin asked. "I lost you there."

"If you mean aside from the fact that Bowser and Ganondorf ganged up on me during my last match, had been degraded by a certain someone who always smells horrid earlier today, had oatmeal get dumped on my head at breakfast by most of the kids except Lucas(since he's a nice kid and one of my few Smash exclusive friends), and had the Villager, Toon Link, Bowser Jr., the Duck Hunt dog and duck, AND the Koopalings make me scream in horror as they act like they're in Duck Dynasty chasing after me... I don't know."

"Oh... That's… uh, great to… hear. Uh, excuse me a sec, please." As soon as he excused himself, he turned to his female counterpart.

"Uh, Core, we have a problem."

"What's wrong now, Corrin?", Core retorted.

"Uh, have you not just heard her now?! She's been getting bullied!"

"*gasp* That's horrible! The poor thing..."

"How do we tell her?"

"I don't know. Why do you figure it out yourself?"

"I can't do that! You figure it out!"

"What?! Why me?!"

"I'm the one who's the idiot between us. You know that. Look, I may be dumb, but I know that I'm dumber than most of the others here."

"Right… Stupid! I suppose we'll just have to ask."

"Good idea."

"What? What is it?", Lucina questioned. They were whispering something she couldn't hear.

"Nothing! Nothing, but... How do you handle all of that bullying?"

"I don't know, Core. I've been bullied by the majority of the people who are fans of the Smash community (besides the villains in here, duh) who hate clones. I mean, besides Mario, since he doesn't really care about if I'm a clone or not, but besides that, I was actually wondering if you have advice for me to deal with bullies."

Both Corrins looked at each other, then at her with a worried face.

"Uh oh..."

"What?"

"Uh... I guess try to prove that you're not a mere clone to everyone. not sure how, but it's for you to find out yourself, anyway. Do you need examples?

"I'm game. Fire away, Corrin."

"Marth is unique because his sword tip does more damage since Melee and was supposed to be in the N64 release of Smash, which is rare, but-"

"Wait, he WHAT?!"

"Not now. Ike is unique for being heavy and slow, but strong since Brawl. Roy is obviously unique for being one of the only two characters in a different series to be born in Smash (and the first one at that), has the most powerful move that's not a Final Smash, and is most powerful at the base of the sword since Melee too."

"That's… not exactly helpful. Any others?"

"Both Robins are unique, and for good reasons and downsides: they're the only ones from our series to not have a counter (bad), be even slower than the former slowest character in Smash (who was Jigglypuff, also bad), and the first to use magic (etc, good). Not to brag, but we're unique because we're dragons AND lords, etc. I would go on, but it'd take forever, and anyway, we have a match to go to now with both Robins, now that I think about it, so there's that. Oh, crap! We're late! We gotta go. I hope it was helpful."

"It was more than helpful, of course. Good luck in your team tag match against both Robins."

And what he replied was the reason why he's also the nick naming smasher: "Bye, Blueberry! See you soon!" And that also made Core slap him across his face.

"Corrin! What's with you and the nickname giving?!", she screamed.

"Ow! What was that for, Core?! It was just a joke!", he complained.

"Hee hee, you guys… Well, good night, then.", Lucina said softly, to which they replied, "Good night, Lucina."

As Lucina went into her room, she was thinking of how to prove that she's unique in her own way. As thought went to thought however, she then thought about her roommate, the one who influenced her life, and, who(unlike the other roommates her rivals and friends in her universe have, be it Marth with Ike and Roy(there's a two per room rule, but when Roy came, there was an odd number of Smashers in all of the rooms, so Master Hand let him pick which pair to bunk with, and he chose Marth and Ike) or the male and female Robins bunking with each other(as with the male and female Corrins when they were forced to bunk together, but they didn't care, so long as the don't go touching the others faces but their own)), was a former Smasher from when Melee was active named Pichu, her best friend, her roommate, and, dare she say it in her mind, her secret love interest so secret, even Pichu was oblivious to it.

This caused her to go into deep thought as she remembered how they first met.

"If I hadn't come along that alleyway after being bullied by Ganondorf, who'd knew what would've happened to her."

What do you think? Alright in the next chapter, I'll explain how Lucina and Pichu met for the the first time. Until then, see you later.
