Author's Note: Hello everybody! So this is my first FanFiction story so bear with me please! And I don't own any of these characters, Nintendo does. Now on to the story...

It had been a long day at the Smash Bros. Mansion, Marth sighed and fell onto his bed.

"Wow, today was rough! I hate doing the cruel brawls in the stadium. Ow..."

"Sounds like you had a blast," Said his good friend Ike. He flopped down on his bed and stared at the ceiling.

"Hey, Ike..." Marth started to ask. "You know what I always have wondered?"

"There's a lot things you wonder about Marth," joked Ike. "What is it this time?"

"Well, I always wondered what will happen in our homeworld after we have died. Is Altea still around, or will peace be shattered and war breaks out again? Things like that. I know it's corny, but the thought has been plaguing my mind."

"To tell you the truth, I wonder similar things too," Ike confessed. "I have always wondered what will happen to the Greil mercenaries, and what will become of Crimean."

"Kind of hard to find out though..." sighed Marth "I wish we could find out these things, but then, maybe we don't want to find out. Well, I am feeling really beat right now so I'm going to turn in for the night. Good night Ike."

"Night Marth," said Ike. As Ike continued looking at the ceiling, he continued thinking about the future. He hated not knowing, but how was he supposed to find out about it? Frustrated with himself and tired, he sank into a fitful sleep.

Meanwhile in the world of Ylisse...

"Are you sure you want to go Lucina?" asked Chrom. "It sounds like it could be rough."

"Yes, Father, I'm sure of it. I'm up for any challenge." Lucina confirmed. "An invitation to the Smash Mansion is a huge honor, and I would really regret not going. Besides I would get to meet people from other worlds and forge new bonds. Surely you wouldn't stop me from going would you?" she questioned.

"Chrom, are you really worried about Lucina? She is quite capable and old enough and this would be a great experience for her!" interjected Robin. "I guess Chrom has the final say, but if it were up to me, you would already be there!"

Chrom stared at his daughter and wife and sighed. There was no changing their minds.

"Just promise me one thing, Lucina. You'll come home in one piece!" Chrom joked half-heartedly.

"Of course, Father!" Lucina said as she hugged her parents good-bye. "I will miss you."

"Well go on then!" Robin exclaimed. "Have a wonderful time!"

"Thanks, I'll see you guys later!" Lucina shouted. She was already running for the spot she was supposed to wait at. When she was almost there, her friend Gerome walked up to her.

"So, you're actually going?" He questioned. "Hmph, guess I should wish you good luck. But that isn't the reason I'm here. I just wanted to give you this." Gerome pulled out a little package from his bag and handed it to Lucina. Lucina opened it up and saw it was the mask like he had given her before they went through the portal to the past.

"Thank you Gerome, I was kind of sad when my old one broke. I'll wear it as a reminder of home. Now, I really should be going. Good-bye Gerome."

"Farewell and good luck Lucina," Gerome sighed as Lucina ran to the station that had materialized twenty feet away from them.

As Lucina walked into the station, she was amazed with the design, it was so...futuristic and cool. All the sudden, someone opened the doors to a bus and told Lucina to come inside. Lucina did as she was told.

"Are you ready?" the driver asked her sounding rather bored.

"Oh, yes! I am ready!" Lucina said excitedly. She could hardly wait to see what would happen at the Smash Mansion.

And there we have it! I hope you enjoy this story so far, and reviews are encouraging.
