Hello there!
This is my first ever fanfic on this site-one that I've been working on for almost two years, with an idea I have been fiddling around with even BEFORE I got my hands on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I have always believed that Princess Rosalina should be a member of the SSB team, and I'm surprised that most fanfics either include her in cameos or leave her out of the entire story. This just doesn't seem fair, especially since she is a pretty awesome character in her own right. This story means a lot to me, and I hope you enjoy it!

Prologue: Tears of Starlight
The sky was raining fire upon her home, burning with a light larger than the brightest star. Smoke crept into every corner, filling the air with an evil stench as the fires spread their flaming fingers. Rosalina watched as the Lumas-the race of star creatures she had watched over for so long- cried out in terror and fled the Comet Observatory, many becoming shooting stars and racing to the planet below to escape destruction. She looked up with sorrow as a dark brown Luma approached her, eyes wide with panic as he spoke. "Rosalina, the Lumas are fleeing the Observatory! Shouldn't we defend it to give them all time to escape?"
The princess closed her eyes, as if trying to block out the dancing flames in front of her. "Whoever is attacking has thrice the power we do. To defend ourselves would only mean that we would all die."
"Yet there must be another way!"
"No, Polari." As the princess opened her eyes, Polari could see that Rosalina was trying desperately to hold back tears. Only once had he ever seen her cry-which meant that this current situation was dire indeed. "There is no other way. We must leave the Observatory before it is too late. Find the other Lumas and take them someplace safe. I will meet you there."
Slowly she floated past Polari, who called out as she drifted near the edge of the Observatory. "Wait! Where are you going?"
Rosalina turned to look at her friend, raising her star wand above her head. "I must go to warn the others of this attack. If I am the first to fall…" Here, she paused and looked out at the cosmos that lay before her before continuing. "…then everyone is in grave danger as we speak."
Pointing her wand to the stars above, Rosalina watched as a clear blue bubble surrounded her, floating away from the Observatory slowly enough that she could still see Polari staring after her, amid the flames and smoke that surrounded him. A blast shook the Observatory, and without warning Rosalina rocketed down to Earth, leaving a trail of crystal tear drops floating in her path amid the stars.
