Author's Notes: I hope you guys enjoy this story! I'm really excited about the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games and new characters, which really inspired me to write this! And please forgive me for the lack of Animal Crossing knowledge. I did some research on the characters, so I'm going to describe them as well as I can with what I learned. That's good enough, right? Anyway, enjoy the story!
It was a typical day in the world of Animal Crossing. Tom Nook the Raccoon was distributing mortgages, Don Resetti the Mole was advising people to "save their progress", and Blathers the Owl was managing his educational and historical museum. Everything was running along smoothly just as they should.
And as for the Villager, things were going equally as planned. After exiting the front door of his humble abode with a huge smile on his face, he spotted Pete, the mail-delivering Pelican, soaring through the air with grace, carrying with him his trusty messenger bag.
"Good afternoon, Pete!" the Villager greeted as Pete landed gently in front of his house.
"Good afternoon to you as well, Villager!" Pete replied.
Suddenly, as if Pete had just remembered something important, he began to quickly rummage through his brown, leather tote bag, searching for a letter that was addressed to the Villager and had to be delivered as soon as possible.
"Here you go! It's for you!" Pete blurted out, panting from exhaustion.
"Oh really? It's addressed to me? Thank you, Pete!" As the tired pelican handed him the envelope, the Villager stared at it with curiosity. What could it be? Who did it come from? And why was Pete in such a hurry to locate it? He proceeded by opening the envelope and began to read the contents of the letter…
It read, "Dear Villager, it has come to our attention that you are one of the most requested characters for our well-known Super Smash Bros. game. We would like to invite you to our headquarters and reserve for you a special place on the character roster. If you accept, we ask that you make your way to our headquarters as soon as you receive this letter. We hope that you will take consideration for this special opportunity and request. Signed, Master Hand".
As soon as the Villager had finished reading Master Hand's invitation, he began to stand still, as if his astonishment had completely frozen him over. As he stood there staring off into the distance with wide eyes and mouth agape, he exclaimed, "I don't believe it! I'm in! This is so exciting! I better head on over to the headquarters so that I can reserve my spot on the roster!"
Before Pete could have a chance to respond to his friend's outburst, Villager took off at the speed of sound and was gone in an instant, letting go of the invitation in the process. At the exact time he let it go from his grip and disappeared, Tom Nook happened to be taking a little stroll through town and happened to notice the invitation as he did so.
"Hmm? Was it this that caused the Villager to exclaim his acceptance into something?" he asked himself. He knew it was illegal to read mail that didn't belong to him, but his curiosity got the better of him, so he picked up the intriguing piece of paper and began to read it.
Meanwhile, far off in a futuristic, distant land, Mega Man was sulking and reflecting on his past. He stood there in Dr. Light's laboratory, remembering how many times his games have been cancelled, which made it seem as though Capcom would never again release any games starring the iconic blue bomber. Dr. Light stared at his son with sympathy.
"Poor Mega Man," he said to himself, "I sure wish there was a way I could make it up to him. It breaks my heart to see him so sad and hopeless."
Just then, Light received an incoming message on his main computer. It appeared to be a letter sent via e-mail, and it was addressed to Mega Man.
"Hey, Rock! I received a letter addressed to you! I think you'll be very happy to read it!" Dr. Light called.
Mega Man dashed to his creator's side in a frantic manner. His heart-breaking frown slowly transformed into a cheerful smile as he read Master Hand's hope-giving letter.
"Well, would you look at that! It looks like they're finally accepting you into their little family, Rock!" Light exclaimed as he and his robotic son wrapped their arms around each other in an embrace.
"I can't believe it! I finally made it into the next Super Smash Bros.!" Mega Man cried in happiness. He had tears welling up in his eyes, but these represented all those years he had been anxiously waiting for this to happen. "I can't wait to finally meet my heroes!"
"What are you waiting for, then? Get a move on! Don't want to keep Master Hand waiting!"
"Of course! I'll be on my way! See you, Dr. Light!" As soon as the duo exchanged farewells, Mega Man made haste and pondered the future surprises that lied ahead.
