"Ugh..." Said a voice, coming from a large room that echoed. Roy was inside heaving weights over his shoulders, when Marth walked in. "You're going to sprain something there mate." Roy bent over and dropped the weights. "Sure, I've been training for like, a month and I'm going to sprain something." Marth stood at the doorway with his arms neatly crossed. "You're still working 'eh?"
Roy had been working out for the past month and a half. "The KO challenge is tomorrow Marth, you auta' be working too." Roy scuffed his hands together and continued lifting weights. Marth frowned, "I have been working!" He scurried over to a ten pound weight and grabbed it with both hands. "See?" Marth yanked the weight off the ground, sweat slowly dripping down his forehead. He stepped backwards and dropped the weight like a rock. "Holy, that was heavy."
Roy set down his 160 pound weights and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Marth wiped his forehead. Roy gently hit Marth on the back. "Going to get a drink," he walked out of the room, leaving Marth. "OUCH!" Marth rubbed his back, then bolted after him down the Smasher Gym's hallway.
While Roy was working out that day, everyone else was out doing their own thing to practise for the compitition.
"YO YO YO IT'S PEACH IN THE HIZ-HOUSE!" The princess make rock-on signs, sluggishly walking around the kitchen in baggy pants and chains hanging from everywhere. Mario looked over, "Peach, what the hell are you doing..." He shifted his eyes, going back to making a grilled cheese sandwich. Peach made a peace sign, "DOOOODE! I gotta try ma new look out. Link thought I should try a new style."
Luigi walked in. He looked at Peach, choked on spit and walked back out.
"What are you going to do for the compitition? Scare everyone away?" Mario chuckled, flipping his sandwich over on the sizzling frying pan. Peach raised her eyebrow, "no dawg, I'ma beat dem all easy!"
Mario smirked. "I'm sure you will."
Soon enough, night time came. Everyone in the Smash Mansion was preparing for a good night's sleep before the tournament the following day. Marth, Link, Zelda, and Young Link were just climbing into bed. "Will you keep it down?" Link sighed, glaring at Roy who was across the room doing jumping jacks. Roy frowned. "If I don't work out I won't be ready!"
Young Link shot up from his bed. "You've been working for the past like, 50 gazillion days!" He pulled the blankets over his head, "give it a rest!"
Roy just kept jumping.
Sooner or later, everyone fell asleep. Link was awoken to a disturbing sound at 2am.
"No... don't take the- ... CHEESE! COME BACK! Brenda can you just... stop... ooh is that a Twinkie?" Young Link spoke in his sleep to nobody. Link put his pillow over his head. "Thank you sir... your applaud means everything to me Brenda..." Young Link said drowsily. "Now please run around and make it sound like a crowd..." He sat up with his eyes tightly shut, and bowed. "Thank you... thank you..." He plopped back down and began snoring. Link rolled his eyes. "Big brother.. hand me the... one with the speckles and uh... Brenda nooo!" Young Link dozed off in his strange train of thought.
The night went on.
Finally, the sun came up and everyone sleepily rose from their beds. Young Link yawned, "well I got a good sleep!" He jumped out of bed and shook the older Hylian. "Link! Wake up! Today's the day!" He shook his shoulder. Link batted at him with his hand, then sat up and rubbed his tired eyes. "Gosh dude you're so annoying, I didn't get ONE wink of sleep last night." Young Link stared blankly, "why not?" Link sighed. "Do you know how much you talk in your sleep!" He complained. "Like, when you're asleep, just sleep, don't talk to me!" He grouched, then got up to make his bed. "And who's Brenda..."
Marth rolled his eyes and looked over, "wow, grumpy." He had already made his bed neatly. "I AM NOT GRUMPY!" Link stomped his foot angerly and continued making his bed. Marth rolled his eyes, "eh, grumpy!" He giggled, then went downstairs for breakfast. Young Link followed him, so did Roy. Link slowly made his way downstairs to get breakfast with the others. Meanwhile; Ness and Yoshi were training outside in the courtyard.
"And a left! And a right!" Yoshi jumped from side to side. Ness laughed, "you're getting pretty good there Yoshi." Yoshi smiled, "thanks, you too." Ness grinned, then made an attempt to hit Yoshi by surprize. He lashed out at him, but Yoshi dodged it.
"Wow..." Ness crossed his arms. "You really are good." Yoshi thanked him, then the two of them continued training.
Meanwhile...
Mario, Peach, Luigi and Bowser were huddled together, surrounding a tiny radio that was announcing when the tournament started.
"Shh!" Mario grouched to Bowser. "You shh!" He said back. Luigi had his ear up to the radio, "what did he say?"
"The tournament will start at 1 o'clock pm today." Said the announcer. Mario smacked Bowser for being loud. The two of them got into a girly fist fight. "Guys!" Luigi yelled, "shh!" He tried his best to listen to the radio. Peach, (in her gangster outfit) sat at the table with her feet up. "So when are we goin' dudes?" She asked. Mario stopped fist fighting Bowser, long enough to say, "soon."
"All combatants should make their way down to the town stadium soon." The announcer said.
"Hear that?" Luigi asked. "We'd better go guys."
"Alright," Mario lugged a bag over his shoulder. "Let's head out."
Luigi picked up the phone quickly and dialed Link's number.
Rrrrrrring... rrrrrringgg... rrriii- BEEP!
"Hello?" Link said.
"Hey Link, we're going down now 'kay?" Luigi put the phone on his shoulder, while he leaned down and grabbed his luggage bag. "They said we should be there soon and it starts at one."
"Okay, I'll get the guys and we'll meet you there." Link said, then hung up. "Roy, Marth, Young Link we gotta go now." He looked over at Young Link who was by the door, tying his shoes.
"Now the little bunny goes... around the.. tree." Young Link said to himself, trying his best to tie the laces. "Ouch!" He rubbed the side of his face. Roy looked down, "how do you hurt your face, tying your shoes...?" He asked, slipping his boots on. "I hit my chin on my knee." Young Link explained. Marth picked up two bags and brought them outside. "Link, what did Luigi say on the phone?" He asked. Link carried a bag over his shoulder and walked down the driveway. "He said they're starting at one, that gives us like... an hour pretty much."
Marth nodded. The four of them got to the end of the driveway.
Young Link looked both ways. "Where are we meeting everyone?" He asked. Link walked them across the road, "we're meeting at the lobby of the Exhibition Stadium. You know, the place with the big arena inside." The four of them continued walking down the road. Young Link finally got tired and looked up, "look! There it is."
Link began to run, "come on! Let's go!"
