Hello everyone and welcome to chapter 2 of the Allstars Mansion. So as you read this chapter, I sort of am going to tie Christmas into this story, not that this will be a Christmas special but it will be happening around Christmas time since Christmas is a week from now as I'm typing this. Luckily since the Smash mansion is involved in this story, this will sort of make up for Warriorkitty's lack of writing any holiday specials this year since I'm not sure if she is planning on writing any this year. Anyways I hope you enjoy.

Spreading the news

"Attention everyone, I have a very important announcement to make", Sly said as all the Allstars gathered in the living room (which is just what used to be the lobby of the old motel they bought).

"What is it?, can't you see we have better things to do" Daxter said sitting on Jak's shoulder, leaning on his head.

"As you may know, Super Smash Bros is currently doing way better than us" Sly continued.

"Well gee, that's so encouraging isn't it" Dante said sarcastically.

"Don't you ever say that word!, 'Smash Bros'" Kratos said angrily, "it makes me sick."

"But that's two words" Nathen told him.

"Who cares!"

"Anyways" Sly continued, "you may have also noticed how we really have a very crappy place we have to live in".

"Crappy is one way to put it" Dax said, "our pipes leak too much and have a lot of problems, the hot water only lasts for 10 minutes, the air conditioner keeps malfunctioning, I think we might have a roach infestation, and the power goes out every once a month"

The lights then go out right after he says that. "Oh it's that time of the month again" Jak said.

"Ya there's that" Sly continued, "and I'm afraid to also tell you, we've gone bankrupt."

"WHAT!" they all said while gasping at the same time.

"No not bankrupt" Polygon Man tried to assure them, "were just on a low budget, that's all."

"We only have 500 dollars" Sly told them.

They all gasped again.

"Well, what are we gonna do?" said Kat looking very worried.

"We're not gonna get more DLC costumes are we?" said Kratos looking annoyed, "I really don't want anything like a clown suit or something".

"No" said Sly continuing with his announcement, "we have an idea of how we can get back on our feet, but you guys are probably not gonna like it."

"Well tell us", said Jak, "anything that can help us with our problems has to be a good idea."

"Okay" Sly continued, "my idea is, we should consider collaborating with the smashers to help our game get out there."

"Umm… what!?" Dante said looking confused but at the same time disappointed in what he just heard.

"Uhhhh….. Can we go back to Kratos's idea, having a clown suit might not be a bad idea" Jak said with a worried expression.

"Or we all could get genderbend alternate skins" Dax said with a pretty dirty smirk.

"Dax, that's evil" Jak told him giving him a look.

"Oh come on, you know there's a lot of fanboys who would like to see a female version of Sly or Ratchet" Dax said back.

"We're not doing that" Sly continues, "look, I know it sounds like a bad idea when you hear it, but my plan is, we make a proposal to the smashers to work together on a nonprofit fan game that people can download for pc called Super Smash Bros vs Playstation Allstars. If the game becomes a hit more fans might consider trying out our official games and then we could even make enough money to make a sequel."

"Are you sure the smashers are gonna want to do that after all of the pain and misery they were put through, trying to beat us at the super smash bowl" Dax said.

"Hey hey, we promised we'd never speak of that event ever again!" Polygon Man yelled, "and besides they beat us so it's not like they despised us after that."

"Ya but they did get pretty hurt a lot and I think sweet tooth might have scarred that Fox for life when he was chasing him with a chainsaw" Jak said back.

"Yes that is true" Sly continued, "but even if they don't like us, they're not heartless, surely they'll understand our pain and decide to atleast give this a try."

"But even if they do accept this proposal of yours, why should we be working with the enemy" Daxter objected.

"Oh come on" Sly said back, "just because they are our competitor, doesn't make them our enemy."

"Then how come everytime someone comes home a 3DS, Polygon Man always destroys it and replaces it with a Vita" asked Nathen.

"Spike is that another 3DS!?" Polygon Man yelled to Spike who had bean holding something in his hands and started holding it behind his back after Polygon Man asked that.

"Uhhhh no" he said.

Polygon man then took out a small hand attached to a blue wire that connected it to himself, and then turned spike 180 degrees around, revealing a 3DS in his hands. "How many times do I have to tell you child" he says throwing the 3DS in a trashcan at the corner of the room.

"Ummm… I don't know, I think he has problems or something" Sly continued, "but still, this is the only choice we really have, I mean Christmas is just around the corner, do you really want to spend it very crappily with a low budget like last year."

Dramatic flashback

It was Christmas eve 2015, at the Allstars mansion. Outside, there was pretty poorly made, homemade, Christmas decorations outside such as Christmas lights on the sides of the roof and around the windows that would continuously flicker on and off, poor artwork painted on the walls because they did not have enough for big Christmas decorations, and a banner (made out of a bunch of pieces of notebook paper taped together) with the words "Merry Christmas" spelled incorrectly on it (Mairy Krismass). Inside the house was a tall christmas tree that was actually a pine tree they had to cut down from the backyard, it was too tall that they had to put a whole in the ceiling so it would fit, on the tree were also cheap lights that would flicker on & off, and had ornaments made out of paper or cardboard. In the kitchen, Kratos was preparing the Christmas eve dinner, he had two timers on the oven since they only had one oven so he had to bake the turkey and the chocolate cake at the same time.

One of the timers then goes off, "oh, it's ready" Kratos said. He then takes out a partially burnt chocolate cake, "uummm…." he says, not knowing what to do, he then sees pink frosting on the counter next to all of the other baking stuff, "hopefully no one will notice" he says putting the pink frosting all over the cake, "looks good but something is missing, oh I got it" he says grabbing green and red icing and then using it to spell "Happy Holidays" on the cake, "there, know one should definitely notice".

"Ooh, is the cake ready?" Princess plump said walking into the kitchen.

"No Plump" Kratos said blocking her from getting near the cake, "you're not gonna eat the entire cake like you did on thanksgiving."

"Oh come on" she said, "Just a nibble."

"No" he said, "you're gonna wait until after dinner where someone will safely cut you just a small piece".

He then puts the cake in a safe with a note saying "incase of chubby princess's".

The other timer then goes off, "oh, the turkey", he then takes out the turkey only to see part of it has burnt, "crap, not again," he then covers the whole turkey with a lot of cranberry sauce, "hopefully no one will notice that either" he says.

"Is the dinner almost done Kratos?" Polygon man calls to Kratos from another room.

"Uh yeah I just need to set the table" he answered.

Kratos then sets the table with the burnt turkey covered in cranberry sauce, a poorly cut ham (that he cut using his giant blades, which is why it's cut poorly), there was mac & cheese and mashed potatoes with gravy that really did not have any problems, and a potato salad with broccoli on it that looked very disgusting. The Allstars than gathered and sat at the table.

"Can you tell me why we didn't spend that much money on a good christmas this year" Sly asked Polygon Man.

"Well I had to save money for the presents" he told Sly.

"Oooh, the presents" Spike said looking very eager.

"Slow down there child," Polygon Man told Spike, "you need to eat your dinner first, and your broccoli potato salad."

"Oh, come on," Spike said, "I have to eat that too."

"You need it to be big and strong", Polygon Man said, "and plus when you're done you get to have some delicious cake."

"I wouldn't say delicious" Kratos mumbled.

Spike then saw Toro happily eating his potato salad and grabbing more, so when no one was looking he poured his on Toro's plate and then was like "Shhhh…." when Toro saw him doing it. "All done", he said.

"Well I'm impressed Spike, you actually ate your vegetables this time", Polygon man said, "Wait a minute", Polygon Man then noticed how the cheese from his potato salad left a streak behind like it had slid off his plate, he then noticed Toro with a lot more potato salad then he last saw him with. "You put yours on Toro's plate, didn't you", he said.

"Uhh… no" Spike said.

"Well I'm afraid you're not getting any cake" Polygon Man said looking mad, "and you won't be getting any of that banana pudding you were anticipating for, and you won't be opening any presents until tomorrow."

Spike then had a very angered and pissed expression on his face, he then gets up, grabs the bowl of potato salad, and yells "This is what I think of your stupid potato salad!", he then shoves it all over Polygon Man's face.

Polygon Man then wipes it off and says "Oh it is on Child!", he then grabs some mash potatoes and throws it at Spike, he misses and then it hits Nariko in the face. Polygon Man then is like "Oh Shit" and then tries to say "NN-No I didn't mean to….."

Nariko then get's up and says "I accept your challenge!" she then starts throwing food everywhere.

Parrapa then yells "Food Fight!"

Parrapa, Sackboy, Daxter, Kat, Toro, and Ratchet all joined in for fun. Jak, Clank, Radek, Sly, and Nathen all hide under the table to avoid the chaos. Kratos and Dante tried running away only for them to get hit causing them to get angry and fight back. As their fighting, Plump then picpockets a note in Kratos's back pocket that has the code to the safe with the cake. She then dials the code, opens the safe, takes the cake out, and then takes a bite.

She then realizes that it's burned and yells "How dare you burn such delicious cake!, you will pay for your crimes against baking!" she then throws the cake at Kratos and then joins the chaos.

Someone then throws mac&cheese at the little sister (from Bioshock) causing Big Daddy to get mad. He then flips over the table, exposing Sly and the other's hiding spot. As all of that was going on, Daxter had been taking advantage of the situation by setting up a little stand in the kitchen with tomatoes that he would charge for 1 dollar each with people of course going and buying one. Jak after the table gets flipped over, goes over to Daxter's stand and says "Dax is this really the time to try and make a quick buck, you realize there's a freaking war zone going on."

"What can I say Jak" Dax says, "my Christmas wish has sure come true."

(End of flashback)

"So yeah, that happened" Sly said after reminding everyone of the chaos last year.

"And all our presents ended up sucking, too" Spike said, "I mean really, you said you saved a lot of money when all we got were cheap products that broke within months. And you even have the nerve to destroy stuff I spent with my own money" he said to Polygon Man.

"And I had to clean all of that up" Kratos said.

"Well I was able to make a great living that year" Dax says, "wouldn't you agree Jak?"

"Well, it did make me feel better when we went that bar after christmas" Jak admitted.

"Hey!" Kratos said getting angered, "you two were the only ones who went to that bar because you added to the mess I had to clean up, and you couldn't even take me along with you guys."

"Hey buying drinks for friends isn't cheap Kratos," Dax said, "I mean really, I only charged like 1 dollar per tomado, do really expect me to have enough for 3 people."

"But see this is what I'm talking about" Sly continued, "that happened mostly because we had crappy food, decorations, and equipment not good enough to make quality food, and it's only gonna happen again if we don't do anything about it, we need this opportunity. So I'm gonna message the Smashers to have us meet in Sega world to discuss our proposal."

"Why Sega world of all places" Dax asked.

"Well It's the only neutral territory I could think of without us getting into a fight with anyone" Sly answered, "I mean seriously if we did this in the Microsoft worlds, Master Chief would blow our brains out."

"Oh yeah, that's true" Dax admitted.

"So I'm going to Email them and we'll arrange what time we meet" Sly told them, "and when we do, pleeeeease for the love of God, don't pick a fight with anyone, if you think one of the smashers is harassing you, just tell me and we'll work it out, Okay"

"Okay" everyone said.

So now the Allstars are going to make their proposal to the Smashers, we'll see how this works out in chapter 3.
