Hi you all! I'm sorry for taking this long! I don't have any excuse, just this apology. I'm really sorry, please don't hate me O_O

Okay, now this chapter is my first for this rewrite ( I feel like the other is more a prologue). And if I have to say this myself, my writing changed A LOT. So I hope you still like it. I haven't found any mistakes in my writing, please correct me if you find one. Some of you comedy-freaks (:P) may complain that the funny parts are weird or anything, just know that this is just the first chapter. You will all get your dose on drama and comedy don't worry.

So read, enjoy and make sure to leave a review! I hope you like it!

It was Sunday morning. The sun had just gone up and was shining brightly. It was a perfect day to go for a walk or take out your dog. However, some people were spending this morning quite differently;

The lobby of Smash Mansion was full of numerous bags and suitcases, full off clothes, personal things and weapons. If someone was planning on opening the gigantic front door, that person was sure to trip over them.

The chairs and couches were occupied by the Smashers, who were waiting patiently for Mario to come back with news from Master Hand ( whom I'll be calling MH from now on). They hadn't seen each other in 3 years and some of them took this great opportunity to tell fascinating stories and adventures. Others, the ones who weren't that talkative, had decided to only listen or even to ignore the rest.

'' Okay now listen, after that. I rode with such a speed that even sonic* would stay behind. You guys should've seen me! I defeated Samurai Goroh* with ease!''

'' Really? Wow! That's really amazing!'' Ness exclaimed, looking up to with a glimpse of amazement in his eyes. The captain smiled and, now focusing on only the child, continued his story.

Samus sighed, she had never liked the captain and listening to his story didn't change her state of mind. She looked around the lobby. It hadn't changed much from the last tournament. The only thing she didn't recognize was a modern-looking screen on the wall. She didn't seem to be the only one noticing it. Slowly the conversations died down and almost everyone , except for Jigglypuff who was sleeping, stared at the screen.

Fox was the first one to rise from his seat and he took a look at it from up-close. After examinating it thoroughly, he put his paw on the screen.

There was an going-on sound which could be heard all over the room. The screen turned from black to white. Suddenly an metallic and stoic voice boomed through the room;

'' Hello, I'm Robotic Operating Buddy. With whom am I speaking?''

Fox, startled from the unexpected voice, looked at the other Smashers, waiting for a sign to continue. Most of the Smashers nodded. The others, the ones who hadn't had any form of technology in their universe didn't react. He took a deep breath and spoke:

'' Fox Mccloud.'' The voice took no time to answer;

'' Hello Fox Mccloud, captain of team Star Fox and defender of the Lylat System. You are registered as a Smasher. It's nice to meet you. What can I do for you?''

It was dead silent in the room. Everyone was or scared or amazed at this new found gadget. Fox, being curious, spoke up again. '' what can you do?'' The short answer to this question, still having a stoic and metallic sound to it, caught some of the Smashers in surprise;

''Try me''

Captain Falcon's laughter filled the room. '' Hey I like this one! '' He focused on the screen. '' Can you set me up on a date?'' At this, more Smashers laughed. Even the stoic voice seemed a little less emotionless with its response;

'' I have to disappoint you Douglas, data says that nobody registered in this mansion will agree to go on a date with you. '' Laughter filled the room again as Captain Falcon glared at the screen. Before he could respond, the screen turned black and a going-off sound could be heard.

'' Donkey is confused…'' The giant ape commented.

'' What-a was that-a!'' Luigi exclaimed shaking. It was obvious that he was one of the Smashers who were more scared than amazed.

''Ah, I-a see you-a guys met-a R.O.B.'' His brother said entering the room, an pile of papers and keys in his hands.

'' I assume you have some information about this thing?'' Fox asked, pointing at the black-screen. Mario gave a grin and nodded, as if he knew something the others didn't.

'' R.O.B. is installed in-a the whole mansion. It-a serves anyone-a and the functions-a it has are-a fascinating. You'll-a figure them out soon enough-a. Anyways-a, I have-a your room numbers and-a keys. There are 2-a keys for every room, so I-a expect-a you to give one to your roommate.''

Hearing the last sentence everyone stared at the plumber, even Jigglypuff opened her eyes. All the tournaments had provided one room for each Smasher. Sharing had never been necessary.

'' you're joking, right?'' Samus asked, she was glad that her powersuit made her voice sound deeper than it really was. She actually sounded male wearing it. When Mario shook his head in response, everybody started to protest.

'' Hell no! I ain't sharing a room with any of them!''

'' Mario-a we will share one right-a? ''

'' I demand privacy!''

'' Pikawi!''

As the protesting continued, Mario's sweat dropped. Finding no clue in how to silence them on his own, he tried to get some help. And so, he turned to the most silent person of the Original 12. Almost immediately, a breaking sound could be heard.

The Smashers looked confused at the direction of the sound. Shards of pottery were spread across the floor. A green clad hero was leaning against the wall, making it obvious that he was responsible for it. Mario took this second of confusion and silence to speak up:

'' Okay-a listen, I can't-a change the rules-a. We all have to share-a a room! Can I-a please-a continue?'' After some sighs and nods he continued.

'' Tomorrow-a, all other Veterans and the Newcomers will arrive. However-a, some Veterans are-a not returning for this-a tournament.''

For the second time, only silence could be heard. The previous tournament concluded all fighters from the one before. It was hard for some Smashers to realize that some of their friends could not return. Especially Fox and Pikachu weren't fond of that idea.

Mario gave everyone their keys and at noon the Smashers were already busy unpacking their stuff.
The rooms were simple, every room had two beds, two nightstands and two closets. Rooms were located in the left wing of the Mansion. That wing had four floors. There were two huge lounges on the first floor. The rooms were located on the other three floors. Every one of these three floors had one bathroom, which could be used by all the Smashers. Everything else such as the canteen and the kitchen, together with the spectator room and the arena were located in the other wing.

The training center was an entirely different building located at the right-side next to the Mansion. This center contained various different training equipment. The building had 3 floors excluding the basement, which was more a place to relax than anything else. The 3 floors contained everything a Smasher would want to practice and train. The last floor could even change in purpose, thanks to advanced technology made by no other than MH himself.

At the left-side of the Mansion. There is a building known as 'Assist-Hotel'. This is a new building for this tournament where the 'Assists' would stay. Assists are temporal helpers of the Smashers in the Tournament. They are summoned by an item which can be used in-battle. Most of the Assists are known in the universes of the Smashers and some are even rivals and/or friends of some of the Smashers. The Assist-Hotel is also the place where visitors reside.

As I was saying, the Smashers were already busy unpacking. Most of the Smashers have the room for themselves, seeing as a lot of veterans and the newcomers haven't arrived yet. A couple of Smashers were already sharing a room. Mario and Luigi for example, they are brothers, so they had no problem sharing one. Others are curious about who their roommate will be. One child in particular didn't want to wait for the arrival of his roommate. So just like a child would do, he started asking a lot of questions;

'' Can you tell me who my roommate will be? Can you tell me who my roommate will be? Mario?! Mario! Do you even know? Do you? Or should I go to MH? I bet Crazy Hand will tell me, does he know? Mario! Marioooooooo!''

The kid was walking behind the plumber, who was heading to the dining room. The majority of the Smashers were heading to the dining room, lunch time was about to start. Luigi has offered to cook, as no one had been assigned for kitchen duty yet.

'' Mario? Are you ignoring me? Mariooo?!'' Mario let out a long and deep sigh. He kept ignoring the child and entered the dining room. Ness did, however, not stop asking questions. Samus saw this and chuckled;
'that kid.. he is too curious for his own good.. He almost discovered my secret last time.. I have to keep an eye out'. She thought to herself while she continued to fill her plate with food. She was about to walk straight out of the dining room when someone interrupted her actions.

'' Heya Samus! Where are you going? Come join us!'' Captain Falcon yelled while waving at the bounty hunter. He was sitting with Fox and Link. Samus sighed, this happened a lot.. every tournament.

'' Come on! You're not going to eat in your room again are you? You know, we ain't that bad. '' the vulpine said. Samus stood there, thinking about how to get out of this. She wanted to come up with a good reason, but she couldn't get her mind straight. Finally she mumbles a '' not in the mood'' and she left the room. Captain Falcon shook his head;

'' I don't get it.. this is the third tournament! And he is still so.. anti-social.'' He said while munching on a piece of bread.

'' That isn't even the weird part, has anyone ever seen him without his helmet?'' Fox asked, but he expected no answer, as the answer was obvious. They ate in silence and later on Mario joined their table.

Ness had taken a break from questioning Mario. With a plate filled with food he walked up to the table with Pikachu and Jigglypuff. He couldn't understand what the two were saying, but he felt more comfortable with them than with the adult members of The Original Twelve. Most of them ignored the child, except for Luigi and Link, but Luigi was on kitchen duty and Link was never a good person to talk to. It didn't take long for Yoshi and Donkey Kong to join their table.

'' Ness looks sad, Does Donkey need to help?'' Donkey Kong asked. Ness smiled:

'' I'm not sad.. I just hope there will be more kids this time around. '' Donkey Kong nodded.

'' Donkey understands, he hopes for you too.'' Ness nodded a thanks to the giant ape.

Minutes passed while the Smashers ate, talked and laughed. It was a peaceful lunch. However, one particular Smasher was missing. This pink puffball was walking to the door of the dining room. Standing in front of the door, he took a giant breath, preparing for what was about to happen. Kirby opened the door. Immediately the whole room fell silent. Everyone was looking at the cute puffball.

'' Maybe if we don't move he'll not see us..'' Captain Falcon whispered. The scene looked like it was frozen for what seemed like minutes, but it were only mere seconds. Slowly the puffball started moving, a smile appearing on his round face;
''Poyo?'' was the only word he said.
'' NOOO I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET!'' Ness yelled before stuffing everything left on his plate into his mouth, others quickly joined them. Fox and Link grabbed their plate and decided to make a run for it. Captain Falcon actually started to throw food at Kirby;

'' You demon! Eat this and leave our lunch alone!'' He yelled while throwing chicken wings. Kirby easily caught everything in his gigantic mouth, it actually looked quite cute. Eventually Captain Falcon ran out of food. Kirby saw this, and again a smile covered his face: '' Poyo.''

Immediately Kirby began inhaling air, more and more air. The plates began shaking. All food started flying through the air, straight into his mouth. Plates and loose objects were also a victim. The light-weight Smashers had to hold onto tables to avoid being inhaled by the puffball. Soon there was no food nor plates left. Kirby let out a cute but big burp and smiled before hopping out of the room.

'' Donkey's food…'' Donkey Kong sighed. Other Smashers also shook their heads.

'' We really-a have to do-a something about-a this.. ''

Everyone left the dining room. Most of them were returning to their rooms to finish unpacking. Others decided to relax a bit in the lounge, where they could watch some tv or play some games or even mix some drinks. Basically the lounges existed for the sole purpose of relaxing. Previous tournaments showed us that Smashers spend lots of time in the lounges.

The Kirby incident happened again later at supper. The following events are not interesting enough to mention. Eventually all Smashers were sleeping. They needed a lot of sleep for the chaos that was going to occur the next day.

Note 1: Sonic the Hedgehog, '' The runner''. This creature is, as his name says, a blue hedgehog with red running shoes. He has an amazing speed that he uses in his advantage in fights. He's best known for defeating dr. Eggman in his universe and for competing in the Olympic Games.

Note 2: Samurai Goroh. This is one of C. Falcon's biggest racing rivals.

Note 3: Donkey Kong's English is supposed to be crappy. I do this on purpose. Just putting that here.
