Falco stared at the flyer that had just been slid under his bedroom door. ''What?!'' He questioned with confusion and annoyance. ''There's going to be a dance… Here at the Super Smash Mansion.'' Fox, whom shared the room with Falco, made his way towards his blue, feathered friend and snatched the flyer from his grip. ''Don't be ridic- woah. There really is going to be a dance.'' Fox scratched the top of his head awkwardly as he remembered how much of an awful dancer he was. ''Do you think we'll need to find a date?'' Falco asked.
''I hope not… Who'd want to date a fox? Even one as handsome as me.'' Fox caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror and winked at his reflection.
About two seconds later, Marth comes bursting through the door waving his flyer about. ''GUYS! HAVE YOU HEARD? THERE'S GOING TO BE A DANCE! THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY AND PULL THE LADIES AND SHOWOFOURDANCESANDEMBARRASSOURSELVESINFRONTOFEVERY ONEAND-''
''DUDE! Take a breath will you! The last thing I need is you collapsing on my bedroom floor from lack of oxygen.'' Falco rolled his eyes and clapped Marth on the back. Marth began to take deep breaths to stop him from hyperventilating.
''I thought you were gay anyway…'' Fox shrugged.
''I'M NOT GAY! What would make you think that?!'' Marth squealed.
Fox sniggered and turned to face Marth. ''Everything about you.''
With that, Marth huffed, turned on his heel and started towards the door whilst muttering something that sounded like ''you'll be sorry when I get a date for the dance and you don't, you vile vermin.''
Fox just shook his head and laughed to himself.
Meanwhile, Nana, Popo, Ness, Lucas and Toon Link were resting in the backyard of the Mansion. After all, it was a lovely day so they were making the most of the weather. They had just finished an 'intense' game of tag and were all completely out of breath. ''Should I go and get us all a drink?'' Lucas suggested.
''YES!'' The others yelled simultaneously. Lucas' eyes almost popped out of his head as he was taken aback by the loud and bold answer.
''Okay, you didn't have to shout.'' He half giggled, half panted. He was just about to take off to retrieve some drinks when Zelda stopped him and handed him the same flyer that all of the other residents had by now received. ''Don't forget to find a date!'' she told him as she skipped off. Lucas glanced at the flyer and then at Nana, Popo, Ness and Toon Link.
''Aren't you going to show us?'' Ness asked with his unique accent.
Lucas sat back down with the others and they all snatched the flyer from one another trying to read it.
''Give it here!''
''Don't snatch!''
''Ouch! You scratched me!''
''Stop it! I want to read it first!
''No, Give it to me!''
The flyer flew from hand to hand and was now crumpled and ruined.
''BE-A QUIET! I'M-A TRYING TO-A WRITE A LETTER!'' Mario stuck his head out from his bedroom window and bellowed with his thick Italian accent before shaking his chubby fists.
The younger brawlers were immediately silenced. Mario tutted and slammed his window shut and resumed his letter to the Princess of Mushroom Kingdom asking her to be his date to the dance.
''Right.'' Popo said. ''Let me read it out loud to you all. That way, we can all get to read it at the same time. So, let go.'' The other children loosened their grip from the flyer and dropped their hands to the beautiful, bright green grass of the garden. Popo was just about to start reading until Toon Link interrupted.
''How come he gets to rea-''
''SHUT UP!'' Ness screamed, frustrated.
Toon Link obeyed and zipped it.
''Go on, Popo.'' Lucas ushered for Popo to start.
''Dear Brawlers, this flyer is to announce that tomorrow at 7pm there will be a dance held in the Super Smash Grand Hall. I expect you all to attend. Dress your best and get practicing your dance moves as a huge disco floor will be fitted. Free Refreshments will be provided.''
''Free refreshments? Haha! Kirby will definitely be there.'' Nana joked.
Ness took the letter from out of Popo's hands and squinted to the bottom of the page. ''YOU MUST ALL BRING A DATE.'' He read.
All of the young brawler's heads shot up as if they were meerkats who had heard a suspicious noise. ''A-a date?'' Lucas questioned. ''B-but I don't know where t-to get a date… Nobody even l-likes me!'' He started fidgeting with nervousness as his eyes began to fill with tears.
''Lucas, don't cry!'' Toon Link patted him on the back. ''You'll get someone. Just like me! I'm going to ask Princess Zelda!'' He boasted confidently.
Nana narrowed her eyes at Toon Link and edged closer to Lucas to hang a comforting arm over his shoulder. ''I'll be your date, Lucas.'' She assured him, sweetly. Ness, Popo and Toon Link's mouths all dropped open.
''R-really?'' Lucas looked up to meet Nana's eyes with his own. ''You'd really be my date?''
''Of course! After all, you're really cute!'' Nana giggled.
Lucas instantly cheered up and gave Nana a hug. Nana smiled wiped his damp cheeks and gave him a small kiss on the cheek causing Lucas to blush a deep shade of scarlet.
''BLEARCH!'' Popo began making sick noises.
''Urgh shut up, Popo! You're so immature! Tell me, how are YOU going to get a date?'' Nana slapped him round the head.
''Don't know, don't care.'' Popo replied childishly.
''You will care when everyone is laughing at you.'' Nana told him.
Popo shrugged and stood up. ''Who wants to play football?'' He asked whilst picking up the purple football from the corner of the garden.
''I do!'' Ness stood up and snatched the ball from Popo. The other three children didn't look interested.
''I would… But, I'm going to come up with a plan to get Zelda to be my date.'' Toon Link grinned.
''Well, me and Lucas are going to go and find nice outfits for the dance. Aren't we honey?''
Lucas looked confused but nodded anyway as Nana took his hand and lead him to the back entrance of the Mansion, closely followed by Toon Link.
''Pssht, whatever. Who needs 'em?'' Popo flailed.
''Yeah. Pssssssht.'' Ness giggled.
