READ THIS! Okay, time to revise the first chapter of this story so it won't throw off so many people like the previous one. By the way, this is a sequel of sorts to a story I've deleted where NiGHTS joins the Smashers. Just letting you know that it's not a random inclusion I've made.
Disclaimer:I only own my Oc, Leon.

Chapter 1:Recovery

Dr. Mario walked into the infirmary room where the teen was lying in a bed, unconcious. He thoroughly checked his vital signs to make sure nothing was wrong. As he did so, Lucario, NiGHTS, and Meta Knight came into the room.
"How is he, Mario?"NiGHTS asked. MK sighed.
"NiGHTS, haven't we told you before?"he asked."He's DR. Mario, the Mario Bros. cousin."NiGHTS scratched the back of her head.
"Right, I keep forgetting about that,"she said embarrassedly.
"So, anyway, how is he?"Lucario asked.
"The same as ever,"the Doc said with a shrug."I still can't-a figure out how he survived a fall like-a that."
NiGHTS nodded."Yeah, how do you survive falling from space?"she asked. Before anyone could respond, all the equipment started going wild, and they all looked at the different monitors worriedly.
"What's going on?"Lucario questioned.
"Everything's a-going haywire!"Dr. Mario exclaimed, trying to fix a heart rate machine. The other three looked at the boy lying on the bed, who was now mumbling complete nonsense. The three leaned in closer to him.
But then his eyes snapped open.
They all quickly backed away as he sprang up into the air, throwing off any equipment that was previously attached to him. He then landed on the railing at the foot of the bed with his right hand and left foot, keeping his other two limbs held out. He looked amongst the four people around him, then looked straight at NiGHTS, who blinked in surprise. The boy's hand slowly lost it's grip as he continued to stare at her. Eventually, he completely let go of the railing and fell on the floor, face first.
"Ow, this floor taste like my face hurts,"he remarked, then laughed. Different thoughts went through the Smashers minds as this happened.
'Great. Another lunatic,'Meta Knight thought bitterly.
'This kid should certainly be interesting,'Lucario thought, amused.
'Looks-a like we've got a nutter,'Dr. Mario thought, scratching his head.
'This boy reminds of Jackle. That's scary,'NiGHTS thought as he stood back up and rubbed his nose.
"Three questions,"he started."Who are you, where am I, and why is your floor so hard?"MK stepped forward.
"I am Meta Knight,"he said."These people are Dr. Mario, Lucario-"
"That rhymes!"the teen interrupted happily.
"...Yes, it does. And this is NiGHTS,"MK finished, motioning to the purple jester with a hand."As for where you are, this is the Smash Mansion."
"So, uh, welcome, I guess,"Lucario said with an awkward shrug. The boy looked up at the ceiling for a moment.
"I'm...Leon,"he said, as if struggling to remember.
"We know,"Lucario said."You told us that before you passed out in the crater you made."
"Duh, what?"Leon asked, confused.
"You fell from space!"NiGHTS exclaimed."Don't you remember?"Leon's face went completely blank, unblinking and drooling slightly. After a moment, he held his head.
"I...can't...remember..."he mumbled."Anything!"He then looked back at NiGHTS and blinked in confusion."You're floating."
"Err, yes,"NiGHTS said.
"Cool!"he said.'She's kind of cute...Why didn't I say that out loud? Wait, why is it so echo-y in my head? Hellooooo? Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a...how does that last part go? But a...But a...Butter. Heh heh. Butter. Wait a minute.'He got a confused look on his face.
"Are you okay?"Lucario asked hesitantly.
"What comes after 'gently down the stream' in that song?"he asked. Now, the Smashers didn't know how he formed the question in his mind. All they knew was that he made many facial expressions in this order:Blissful, confusion, more confusion, then questioning. After that, he had started bobbing his head back and forth a little. Then he looked confused again, amused, and finally, confused.
"Life is but a dream,"NiGHTS told him, recalling the song from a visitor who had taught it to her.
"Oh, yeah,"he said.'Life is but a dream...Heh heh...butter. Wait, butter?"Suddenly, his stomach growled. He looked down at it for a moment, then muttered."I'm hungry."The four Smashers looked at each other.
"Er, Okey-Dokey, then,"Dr. Mario said."It's-a time for lunch, anyway."They all headed downstairs. All except for the doctor, who had to put his machines back in order.
