Chapter 2: Ness

Day 4, Month 1, Year 1

I can hear people knocking on my door. They want me to come out. But they don't know exactly what I'm doing in here…

See, in the last tournament, I found some blueprints for a landmaster, R.O.B, and Samus's varia suit in a storage closet. It's taken me a year to gather up all the parts I need, but I've finally done it. I've gotten Pikachu to bring me my food in the past several days I've been in here. And everyone thinks I'm in here because I miss Lucas… hah! Lucas was my friend, and I'm sad that he's gone, but seriously, it's not like he died or something. I'll see him again when I go home.

So anyway, back to what I'm building. It's a deadly war machine that I shall call the "Varia R.O.B-master"! With it, I'll be able to win this entire tournament with a flick of my wrist! No more people looking down on me just because I'm among the youngest of the smashers.

And for some reason, when Pikachu brought me my lunch today, he was wearing an odd rubber suit. He said it was something about Master Hand "not wanting another ketchup incident". Well yeah, I remember the ketchup incident from a few days ago, but how did Master Hand find out about that? Does he have security cameras in here or something? Maybe…

Day 5, Month 1, Year 1

So, my theory about the security cameras must be right! Because guess what? Today, Master Hand told me to cease the construction of the Varia R.O.B-master! He must've been spying on me while I was building it. Either that or he was reading my journal, but he's way too mature and sensible to do something childish like read someone else's journal of private thoughts.

…Or is he? I mean, basically the only interaction any of us have with Master Hand is fighting him, so aside from his powers and abilities, we don't know anything about him. Gasp! Or maybe Crazy Hand is reading our journals and then ratting us out to MH! Maybe that's also how they knew about the ketchup incident! I must warn the others!

Other than that, I'll be a very good and obedient child and stop building the Varia R.O.B-master. Yes, I definitely will. I am not lying about this in any way, shape or form. I'm not going to build the machine, no need to be alarmed. I'll stop. Like, legit.

Day 6, Month 1, Year 1

Ugh. I tried to warn the others that the hands were spying on us, but they didn't listen! I tried to talk sense into them, but they believed that our "masters" would never spy on us (except Mario, who suspected that they were probably watching us from above (which is even creepier than my theory), but he never liked the hands bossing everyone around, so of course he'd say something like that).

On a lighter note, the grown-ups are having a party tonight, but nobody under the age of eighteen is invited because, according to Peach, there's going to be "bad drinks that children shouldn't have". Dude. I'm thirteen. I know what alcohol is.

It's sort of a shame, really. I heard that the hands installed a new karaoke machine while we were all away, and I kind of want to see everyone singing while drunk. Oh well, I guess I'll just stay in my room and keep building the Varia R – I mean I'll play video games! That is most definitely what I am going to do this evening while everyone is at the party! No lies here!

…Nope!
