Lucas wondered about the garden, cutting shears in his hand. The boy looked around the large 'Smash Garden' as his fellow fighters christened it and spotted the bushes Princess Peach had shown him earlier, the one with the mass of overgrown branches on one side. It was Wario's turn to do this, but after setting fire somehow to the bushes, Peach decided that the garden needed a more delicate touch. Lucas offered, not only to avoid doing Dishes with the Pokemon trainer, but to also prove he could do something useful. After Peach tough Lucas how to use the shears, somehow he could cut the bushes so naturally, it became art.
Lucas became Peach's assistant in the garden, to put it mildly.
Lucas began cutting the bushes. It actually was rather cold out, but Any air felt good to him right now. For the past month, Lucas was stuck in bed with a terrible Flu. He missed out on 47 matches, 16 team matches, 8 home-run contests, 4 Smash Meetings, and apparently an epic Birthday Party held for Mr. Game-and-watch. After missing so much, being stuck in bed, he was more than glad to get out of the Smash Mansion and do something slightly productive. After all, no one wants to be stuck in bed for 29 straight days in a row, right?
Lucas continued acting as a barber for the bushes, making sure to cut only the long, unnessessary ones. After cutting one last, tiny branch, Lucas stepped back and peered at the nice and symetrical bushes that circled Peache's favourite part of the garden - The fountain.
Lucas nodded, satisfied. He turned to leave,but found his face being blocked by a Pink dress. Lucas stepped back, almost gasping, but breathed a sigh of relief as he found Peach's head upon that Body of Pink. "Hello, Miss Peach!" Lucas said with a smile.
"My my!" Peach said, "You've certainly did a Nice job of cutting the bushes!" She inspected all the bushes delicately, as if judging Lucas's work. "Not a branch out of place!"
"Thank you!" Lucas said, a warm feeling in his heart, "I'm glad you liked it!"
Lucas noticed that Peach was holding a basket under her arm, and by her feet, Kirby waited with a hungry face on his pink body. Lucas knew what this meant.
"Are we having a picnic?" Lucas asked with hope.
"Of course we are!" Peach said, giggling, "Olimar will be joining us shortly, actually, so I need a nice place to set up!"
Kirby pointed to a nearby tree, it's limbs waving slightly in the breeze. Lucas smiled as he got Kirby's message. "How about under that tree? Kirby seems to like it!"
Peach giggled once more. "That sounds perfect!"
The trio set up the Picnic sight under the Tree, and soon, just as Peach Promised, Olimar showed up, a trail of Pikmin behind him. Lucas couldn't help but laugh as the Pikmin all followed Olimar, some in line, some just wondering about. Thankfully, he said they did not need to be fed, as he just fed them only moments ago. Lucky them, more food for Kirby.
Soon, they found themselves gorging their faces with Cake, tea, bread and cheese, a bountiful feast. Lucas asked the three about what had happened during the past 4 weeks he was stuck in bed - no one had bothered to fill him in.
Peach looked up to think. "Oh ... Well, the last Smash meeting we had, we announced the new arrivals for the 'Eclipse Tournament'" She stated.
Lucas blinked and tilted his head. "The ... what now?"
"Oh right ... The Eclipse Tournament - I forgot, you were out for longer than I remember ..." Peach said, giggling slightly.
"The Master hand announced a Tournament that will happen with the Eclipse we're supposed to have next month. Apparently he finds a Natural Phenominom like that is an excuse to hold more fights." Olimar stated, drinking his tea.
"Oh! So we're going to have a Tourny? That's neat!" Lucas said, grasping the bread in his hand. "So, who will be in it?"
"Well ..." Peach crossed her arms again. "We're going to have 10 new fighters. 2 are returning veterans, 2 are moving up from assist trophies, and the rest 6 are new fighters in general."
"Cool!" Lucas said excitedly, his eyes wide with anticipation.
"Yes ... Roy and Mewtwo will be returning to the scene." Olimar said, shaking, "I hear their rough battlers."
"Don't worry about those two, Olimar. They may seem rough, but really, they're gentle lambs." Peach said, smiling, "I should know, I fought them!"
"Who's going to be moving up from being an assist Trophy?" Lucas asked, biting on a piece of bread.
"Saki and Shadow." Peach nodded, "Sonic basically begged us to include Shadow in."
"No surprise." Olimar said, drinking his tea.
"And what about these other 6 fighters?" Lucas asked.
"Ummm ... lets see ..." Peach thought again, "Some fresh faces ... Sonic Introduced us to a person named 'NiGHTS' ..."
"Fox also included his girlfriend into the mix." Olimar stated.
"Then there's a couple Mario introduced ... A man named 'Geno'." Peach continued.
"Link also included a friend named 'Midna'" Olimar Stated once more.
"And a new one that Master hand introduced to us ... A sort of Robot ... 'Mega Man X' ..."
Lucas Blinked. "Wow, they all sound so strong ..." Lucas said, a slight shiver.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll all like you, Lucas" Peach smiled, "I mean, with a face like yours, who wouldn't?"
Lucas slightly blushed. "Well ... Wario doesn't like me all that much."
"Wario doesn't like any one." Olimar stated. "Oh yeah! There was one more person. Who was he ...?"
"Well, they should all arrive tomorrow if Plans go as ... well, planned." Peach said with a slight smile.
"That's good. I can't wait to meet them all!" Lucas said, taking a bite out of his bread.
"Oh yeah! Lucas, Your Father's coming as well!"
Lucas's face turned blue as he started choking on his peice of bread.

Sonic sighed. He just did not want this day to come.
What the hell was he on when he suggested this?
NiGHTS?! I mean, seriously!
Only like ... half of the world knew who he was! Why did he suggest NiGHTS?!
Sonic Waited just outside the door of the smash mansion, waiting for the arrivals for the Eclipse Tournament. He was excited about this Tournament, sure, but he couldn't help but feel a bit antsy when it came time to meet all the new Fighters. He felt left out when the Fighters all celebrated the return of Roy and Mewtwo, and he felt unsure that NiGHTS was a good fit to be in this Tournament. He was just too ...
... happy.
Ah, well, At least he'll get along with everyone.
Including Shadow.
Sonic smiled and laughed. That'd be a match made in heaven. Shadow and NiGHTS hanging out together?
The tought was just too much to bear, and soon, Sonic found himself laughing so hard, he could barely stand up. From far away, Link and Shadow were watching, wondering if the blue hedgehog had finally gone crazy.
Link braved going to the sprawling hedgehog and poked him slightly with his boot. "Uh ... Sonic? are you alright?"
Sonic wiped a tear away from his eye and stood up, still laughing slightly at the thought (The fact that Shadow was still there as a constant reminder did't help him to stop either). "Yeah, Yeah, I'm alright, I'm just thinking of something ... funny."
Link stared at the hedgehog for the longest time before Shadow walked up to the two of them. "Yeah? Well, what's so funny?" Shadow asked impatiently.
Sonic wiped another tear from his eye and waved the hedgehog off "Nothing, Nothing Shadow." He said, still snickering.
Link decided to turn the conversation elsewhere before Shadow got too curious. "So ... Have they arrived yet?"
Sonic abruptly stopped snickering and went back to leaning against the wall. "No, not yet." He replied, rubbing his gloved finger under his nose, "Peach said they wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, but she told me to wait out here for them just in case."
Link sighed. "Too bad ... I was hoping to see Midna soon."
Sonic smiled slyly at his green-clothed companion, "Ooooh? Does wittew Winky miss his giwfwiend?"
Link's face turned a hint of red as Sonic cooed those words to Link. "Sh-shut up! She's just a good friend, that's all!"
"Tch, with a face like that I'm willing to bet she's more than that." Sonic quipped.
Link did not like where this conversation was going. Midna was indeed a very good friend to Link, and he did miss her a lot, but he tried to hide his feelings towards her desperately. Apparently he wasn't hiding it too well.
Shadow turned his head toward the side and pointed a finger in the distance. "I think I see some one now." He stated, not showing much of any emotion what so ever.
Both Link and Sonic turned their heads towards the Direction of Shadow's pointed finger, and saw a certain red-headed figure in the Distance. Link smiled: He knew who that was.
It was Roy.
Link ran to Roy with a smile on his face. After so many years of not seeing his fellow swordsman, Link couldn't help but feel a swell of happiness inside of his heart. He grasped the man's arm and shook it with gusto. "Roy! It's so good to see you again!"
Roy smiled and shook Link's arm with as much Gusto Link gave him. "It's been too long, my friend. Look at you! New Costume and everything!!"
Link blushed a little in embarrassment. "Yeah ... New Game, new Costume."
"I heard they replaced the younger you with a new version of you." Roy said, Leading his friend back toward the mansion.
"Yeah, but he is just as powerful as Young Link was." Link said, "He may look strange, but he sure can fight."
Link lead Roy to the two hedgehogs that were waiting at the stoup for them, and Roy's curiosity was flared. "Um ... who are these creatures?"
"Oh, this is Sonic" Link pointed a finger at The blue hedgehog, "Sonic the hedgehog. And the Black one's Shadow."
"Hey!" Sonic's voice flared with excitement, "Welcome to the Smash Mansion!"
"Actually, I've been here before" Roy said, Rubbing the back of his head.
Sonic stopped himself, then rerouted his train of thought, "Er, well ... welcome back!!"
"Thanks!" Roy said, shaking the Hedgehog's hand. "So your the famous 'Sonic the hedgehog', eh?"
"Fastest Hedgehog around!" Sonic said, boasting his talents. "Oh, besides fakey here."
Shadow glared at Sonic with red slits.
Roy blinked, then turned to Link. "Hey, Marth's still here, right?"
Link smiled and nodded. "Yeah. And you need to meet Ike too!"
Roy smiled and ran inside the house. "I can't wait to see him again!"
Sonic went after them, but shortly after Shadow had stopped him. Sonic turned to his fellow hedgehog, fuming. "Oi, what was that for?"
"Don't you remember? You said you had a job to do." Shadow reminded him, "wait out here for the fighters to show up."
Sonic sighed. "Geez. I was only going to -"
"No." shadow said, turning on his heal. "You stay, I go in. Buh-bye."
With that, Shadow slammed the door behind him, leaving Sonic still on the stoup waiting for any newcomers to come by.

Fox paced around the room. He wasn't bored, not exactly. He was anticipating the arrival of some one. Some one he hoped to hold in his arms, some one he wanted to kiss, some one he wanted to see again.
His Beloved Krystal.
Poor Fox was so lonely around the building. Falco's presence, despite his witty humor, did not help Fox's loneliness around the house. And Wolf? He was no help at all. Every single day was a day of dread without his blue fox by his side. He dreamt about the arrival of his girlfriend, about fighter along side her, against her, for her, with her ...
And after the tournament, he had something special for her.
Fox's ears perked up. That's right! He had to make sure it was still there!!
He ran to his dresser drawer and opened it. He looked sideways and all around the room to make sure no one was looking, then proceeded to remove the drawer from it's socket. he then layed the drawer at his side gently, making sure not to make a sound as he did, and reached his hand inside the socket. In the drawer hole, he took out a small, wooden box that was hidden within it. He opened the box, and inside he found a small, velvet-covered box. Fox delicately touched it and handled it with great care. He opened it slowly to reveal a glorious diamond ring gently enveloped by a soft, red cushion within the black box.
Fox Smiled. After countless matches, he saved up enough Smash coins to buy this baby. He had the plan all to well in his head: No matter who won the Eclipse Tournament, he would pull Krystal aside, just for a second, then showed this darling to her, and ask for her hand. She'll be thrilled, she'll be excited, she'll be-
"Hey! Fox! What d'ya have there?" Falco asked, slamming the door behind him.
Fox should remember to close the door next time he was fantasizing.
Unfortunately for Fox, Falco had spotted the diamond ring before Fox could hide it. Falco smiled and tilted his head, ready to quip. "So ... Fox ..."
"Falco, don't you DARE say anything about this to ANYONE!" Fox yelled at Falco, already predicting the situation, "Especially wario, he'll steal it if he hears about this! If you tell anyone I'll ..."
"Dude, calm down ..." Falco said, holding his feathered Fingers up towards his angry friend, "I won't tell anyone, I promise!"
"Good!" fox said, putting away everything in it's proper place. "I've worked hard for this, I won't have anything ruin this moment!"
"So, you're finally gonna do it, eh?" Falco said, smiling. "I can't say anything other than congrats, pal."
"Well, there's no need for that yet." Fox said, his anger turned to friendship. "I haven't asked her yet, but I plan to after this tourny!"
"Still, it's pretty obvious she's gonna say yes." Falco said, "So when's the bachelor party."
Fox laughed. "Falco!!"
"Hey! I mean it!"
Fox looked out the window again, but sighed when he saw his blue love was still not here. "I hope she arrives soon ..."
"Hey, hey, she'll probably arrive tomorrow." Falco said, trying to comfort his fellow Star Fox member, "Some others already arrived. I hear The Pokemon Trainer and Mewtwo are already bouting it out"
Fox smiled. "Yeah. You're right." He stood up and dusted himself off. "She'll arrive soon. I just need to get my mind off of things."
"Tha's a good lad!" Falco laughed, slapping his friends back, "Come on, I'll treat you to a drink!"
Fox smiled and followed his feathered friend out the door. He stopped for a moment to look out the window once more. He saw a figure, and turned to see who it was, but immediately turned back around when he found it wasn't his beloved. No, It wasn't her at all. In fact, it looked like some guy dressed as a cowboy.
Fox closed the door behind him, sighing.

Sonic studied the Man for a moment.
He studied him from head to toe, noticing every detail. His yellow shirt, red bandanna, brown vest, his cowboy hat ...
"Lemmie guess ..." Sonic said to the man, "Clint Eastwood?"
The Man did not laugh. He stood there, silent as ever, staring at the blue Hedgehog.
"Just Kidding pal!" Sonic said, laughing a bit. "But Seriously, who are you?"
"Flint." The man said "My name's Flint."
"Flint, eh?" Sonic said, tapping his Chin. "Ooooh, right, you're Lucas's father, aren't you?"
Flint nodded.
"Yeah! He actually talked a lot about you!" Sonic said, smiling, "He was sick all last month, seeing his father will surely brighten his day!"
Flint stared at the hedgehog, still silent.
"Go right in. Lucas is prob'ly in the garden or something. Peach trusts her bushes with him."
Flint stared at the hedgehog.
"Um ... anything wrong, Mister Flint?"
"You're a talking hedgehog ..." Flint said, tilting his head to the side. "At least ... I think you're a hedgehog."
Sonic rolled his eyes. "Yes, I'm a hedgehog"
"Sorry ..." Flint said, "I Guess I will be seeing many unusual types like you, huh?"
"That's what makes this 'Super Smash Brothers', friend!" Sonic said, winking, "No one's quite normal around here."
Flint Looked at the hedgehog, then glanced at the hugs building which was the Smash mansion, then back at Sonic, who had welcomed this man in. Finally, after several attempts to define the situation he was in, each leading to failure, Flint finally sighed and walked into the mansion.
He glanced around at the busy hallways of the smash mansion, strange yellow and grey Robots scattering about. He had stopped one long enough to find out that they were called "R.O.B." Units, and decided that he could find out more about his situation. He asked the robot where his son was.
The Robot clicked and whirred. "FOR-QUESTIONS-SEE-FATHER-R.O.B.-UNIT" IT shrieked, then proceeded on its way. Well, that was no help, Flint thought. How was he supposed to find out where his son was if he didn't know who the main 'Father R.O.B.' was? Flint sighed and walked down the hallway, seeing more and more of the strange Yellow and gray coloured robots fill the hallway. Without realizing, Flint had ran into a R.O.B. unit. Flint was about to kick it in frustration when he realized it was differently coloured that the other R.O.B. units.
"O-Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir ..." It said apologetically, "I was not paying attention to where I was going."
It talked like a normal human being. Could it be ...?
Flint knelt down to the White R.O.B. unit and eyed it carefully. "Are you the Father R.O.B. unit?"
The robot seemed to blink as Flint asked this. "Why, yes I am!" It said excitedly, "I was just making my rounds around this house, making sure none of my tribesmen are messing things up ... Can I help you in any way?"
Flint Blinked. While all the Other R.O.B. units seemed to be drones, this one here acted so much like a human, it was scary.
"Oh ... oh wait a moment ..." the R.O.B. unit said, it's eyes flashing, "I'm searching through my data bank - AH! You're Flint are you?"
Flint nodded, unsure of what to say.
"Yes, yes, I know you. I bet you're looking for your biological offspring, are you?" The Robot said cheerfully.
"Er ... yes ... I am ... Looking for my son, that is."
"Oh, well, I last saw him in the gardening area with Mistress Toadstool." R.O.B said cheerfully. "People usually call her 'Peach', but I've known her for so long, it's so hard to refer to people by their nick-names ..."
It was just as the Blue Hedgehog said. "Erm ... where is the Gardening area?" Flint Asked.
"O-oh! Pardon me sir, how terribly rude of me!" The robot said nervously. "Keep heading down this hall, past the kitchen and dining hall. To the left of the Dining hall on the far end is the doorway that leads to the Gardening area. You can't miss it."
"Thanks." Flint simply said, and left.
"Any time, Master Flint!" The robot said with cheer.
Flint Looked at the white-colored R.O.B. unit, then walked down towards the kitchen and Dining hall. It's only been 5 minutes and already he ran into some strange faces. And none of them were human so far. At least they were kind enough to let him in the house and point him to his son. They might be unusual, but at least they were friendly.
Flint opened the door to the gardening area, hoping to finally find his son.
