Lady Palutena, Fox McCloud, Pikachu, and Lucina were all on their way to the picnic spot as the green haired goddess led the way, with her skipping ahead as Lucina took cautious glances around, feeling a bit nervous. Pikachu and Fox were both relatively calm and collective. The forest was giving Lucina some bad vibes.

"Are we there yet?" Lucina asked as she stuck close to Fox and Pikachu.

"Almost, mah gurl. The picnic spot should be pretty close." Palutena remarked as she rolled her left hand, smiling as she turned her head back forward, with it beginning to snow as it got darker.

"That reminds me..." Pikachu stated as he was texting on his cellphone, "I gotta tell Falco, R.O.B., and Bowser Junior that I'm not gonna make it to the bowling alley tomorrow."

"Wait, you guys go bowling together?" Lucina gawked in disbelief as she blinked, towering over Pikachu.

Pikachu nodded as he placed away his cellphone, having already texted his message to his bowling pals. "Yeah. We do it every weekend."

Lucina placed her hands on her hips as she tilted her head to the right. "And how long have you been doing this?"

Pikachu scratched the back of his right ear with his hand. "Since Brawl came out. That's why Falco, R.O.B., and I know Bowser Jr. a lot more than everyone in the mansion that's not from Mario's world."

Lucina began stuttering as she moved her hands around, generally confused as she couldn't understand. "B-but Link and the Villager are in Mario's world, too..."

"It's best not to think about it." Fox spoke up as he placed his hands on Lucina's shoulders, shaking his head.

"We're almost at the spot!" Palutena stated as she faced the other three Smashers, with all of them walking into smooth snow, with it getting deeper as they headed northward.


Back in the mansion, a depressed Pit was eating and drinking his sorrows away at Jigglypuff and Ganondorf's donut shop, with Mario and Luigi serving Star Beans coffee as Dr. Mario was present, trying his best to comfort the distraught white winged angel.

"Why are you so depressed, mah boi?" Dr. Mario remarked as he was a bit surprised to see Pit sad.

Pit sniffled as he munched on the vanilla powdered donut he was eating, his eyes filled with tears as he faced the human Italian doctor. "L-Lady Palutena d-didn't invite me with her for her p-p-picnic..." He began crying again as he closed his eyes, drinking up the coffee he got from the Star Beans cafe right next to the doughnut display.
