Dinner consisted of a generous portion of grilled chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and gravy. The smashers all ate ravenously, remembering how good the food was at Smash Mansion. Marth was telling Link a very interesting, but also rather humorous story.

"So, Ike and I were visiting his home country of Tellius a while back. And when we get to his camp, there's this girl waiting for us. Apparently she knew we were coming. It was weird though, cause we never told anybody." Marth chuckled a bit then. "So this girl, what was her name Ike?"

"Mia," Ike answered, biting his tongue a little at the name. Mia was that one girl who could make any man's heart, even Ike's, flutter all about inside their chest. She was beautiful, yes, but she also had skills with the blade that could easily best that of an elite swordsman. She had even beaten Ike in a duel once.

"Yeah, Mia. She comes up to Ike and was all like, 'we've been waiting for you.' Naturally, Ike and I just stared at each other. So then she took me and Ike to the camp." Marth continued with his story. "Immediately when we get there we see all these mercenaries walking about, some of them obviously had a bit too much to drink."

Ike started to laugh a little, as the funny part of the story was approaching. Marth playfully punched him on the arm.

"Let me finish before you ruin it, dude," he said, smiling. "So anyway, there was this one guy who came walking out of one of the tents holding this huge cake. This guy was drunk too, so he was kind of stumbling a bit. He walks up to Ike, but doesn't notice the giant log obstructing his path." Link began to laugh loudly, for he knew where this was going. Marth started to laugh too, barely able to finish the story. "He comes ambling up to Ike, trips over the log, and the cake goes flying and lands right on top of Ike!" Link was pounding his fist against the table now, unable to control his laughter. Ike did the same thing, even though he was the victim. Several smashers stared at their table, but the three friends didn't care how loud they were. It wasn't until Zelda gently touched Link's arm, that he quieted down. Marth and Ike stopped too, realizing they were being a little rude. It wasn't long after that when Master Hand floated back up onto the stage.

"Alright, it looks like most of you are finished eating. So, without further ado, I would like to introduce you to our newcomers!" He said in a booming voice to make sure everyone in the room could hear. They all looked up at him and applauded. Ike remembered when he had been a newcomer, and smiled. Surely they would all welcome the newcomers just like they welcomed him. "First up, we have Bowser Jr. from the Mario series!"

A sly-looking little koopa came onto the stage from the side. He walked up to the podium and spoke a little about himself, mentioning that he was Bowser's son.

"That's my boy!" Bowser hollered out and stood up from his seat. When he realized no one else was standing, he sat back down, his face turning beat red. The smashers then applauded again, and Bowser Jr. took a seat next to his dad.

"Next, we have Daisy from the Mario series!" Master Hand announced. A redheaded girl wearing a yellow dress came out onto the stage. Luigi's heart rate picked up, and he found himself staring. He had always known Daisy as a friend, but he secretly wanted them to be something more. Maybe this was his chance. After making her short speech, she walked off the stage and sat down next to Peach.

"Up next, King Boo from the Mario series!" A white ghost wearing a crown floated onto the stage, but immediately looked away from everybody. "He's a little shy," Master Hand added. "It's alright, King Boo. You don't have to make a speech if you don't want to." The ghost floated down the steps and sat next to Bowser Jr. The smashers clapped again, but they all looked at each other oddly.

"Next is Louie from the Pikmin series!" A tiny little creature that looked like Olimar appeared on the stage, about a dozen pikmin following him. He didn't speak, mainly because like Olimar, he couldn't, so he ran off the stage and sat by his friend.

"Now we have Shadow from the Sonic series! You might remember that he was an assist trophy in Brawl." Master Hand announced the next newcomer, a black and red hedgehog that resembled Sonic. He spoke few words, then sped off the stage to take a seat by Sonic.

"Alright, now we have Isaac from the Golden Sun series! He was also an assist trophy." A young boy with blonde hair approached center stage. He wore a blue outfit, and carried a sword on his back.

"That's my kind of guy," Link said quietly to Marth, who nodded in agreement. Isaac didn't know what to say, so he said nothing. He looked out at the crowd of smashers for a place to sit. Link raised his hand in the air. "Come on over here, buddy!" he called out. Isaac smiled at the invitation and hurried to their table.

Master Hand seemed to be getting bored, but he kept on anyway. "Next is Medusa from the Kid Icarus series." A tall woman with pale skin and a head full of snakes walked onto the stage. Ganondorf's eyes went wide and he gawked at her with his mouth agape. A trail of drool dropped from his open mouth, and Bowser immediately shut it, looking at Ganondorf with a strange expression. If Ganondorf's green skin could turn red, he would've been a tomato at this point. Medusa said a few words, then walked off the stage. Samus flagged her down and she took a seat next to the bounty hunter, but not before giving Pit a death glare.

"I hope she knows we're all friends here," Pit gulped nervously.

"Up next is Krystal from the Star Fox series." A beautiful vixen made her way center stage. She immediately looked at Fox, who's tongue had fallen out of his mouth. When she finished her speech, she sat down next to Fox, and ran a hand through his fur seductively.

"Alright, only two left. They are both from the Fire Emblem series." Master Hand was relieved they were almost done.

Marth and Ike cheered loudly, wondering who the two would be. "First is Lyndis. She has proven herself to be quite the fighter through her experience as an assist trophy." A young girl with a long, green ponytail walked up to the podium. She talked for a while, then spied Marth in the crowd. She stepped down from the stage and made her way over to him. He got up from his seat, and instantaneously the two were wrapped in each other's arms, sharing a passionate kiss. Long 'awwwws' and wolf whistles were heard from the smashers. The only ones who didn't 'awwww' were Ike and Link.

"You didn't tell us you were going out with Lyn!" Link said, feeling a little betrayed.

Marth broke away from the kiss. "I wanted it to be a surprise." He offered Lyn a seat next to his friends, and she smiled at him warmly.

"And our last newcomer, but certainly not least, is Sothe." A young man who also had green hair walked onto the stage. He didn't stop at the podium to speak at all, but simply walked down from the stage toward Link's table, where Ike had made a seat for him. He sat down at the table, quietly. He didn't even smile at his fellow smashers. He just stared down and played with his hands. A small tear formed in his eye, but he quickly blinked it away. Ike noticed his neglect and elbowed him in the ribs, causing him to cough.

"What the hell was that for, man?" he asked, finally speaking. His eyes showed hints of anger and bitterness.

"Say hello to your new friends, Sothe!" Ike ordered. "Don't let them get the wrong idea about you."

Sothe looked up at Link, Marth, Pit, and Isaac. "Hey," he said flatly. His face was still expressionless.

Pit got up from his seat a little to look at what Sothe was wearing: a sleeveless vest that had a very high midriff. "Isn't that shirt a little small for you?" he asked, unable to keep from laughing.

Sothe shot him a dirty look and snarled. "For your information, cherub, this was made for me by my-" he stopped himself mid-sentence and went back to looking at the floor. Ike put a hand on his back and patted it softly. Link reached around Zelda and slapped Pit hard on the back, causing him to let out a rather girly squeak.

Link tried to come up with a topic that would save them from any further arguments. "So," he began, "when do we want to start training?"

Marth shrugged. "First thing tomorrow, I guess." His hand was intertwined with Lyn's and they nuzzled each other. Sothe looked up at them and immediately wished he hadn't.

"I'm so excited to fight!" Isaac trilled. "It's such an honor to be here with all of you guys!"

"I have your room assignments figured out!" Master Hand had taken a spot on the stage again. "They will be posted in about an hour. Also, the assist trophies will be joining you shortly." Master Hand sighed then. "There were several who tried out for a spot on the roster but didn't quite make the cut. I've offered for those people to become assist trophies, and they've all accepted. I will tell them to come in now."

A few people entered the cafeteria then, some being recognized by the smashers, others not. Among the new assist trophies was Lady Palutena, the goddess of Angel Land. Pit was overjoyed to see her, and rushed to give her a hug. A little white dog holding a guitar was behind her. His name was K.K. Slider, and he was from the Animal Crossing series. None of the smashers knew much about him, so no one offered him a seat. He was followed by a pink dinosaur creature with a funnel-like nose. Mario and his gang recognized her as Birdo, and rushed to meet her. Behind Birdo was another Mario character called Rosalina. Mario noticed her and kissed her hand delicately. Ike also took notice of her. She had long, platinum blonde hair with bangs that covered one of her eyes, which were a radiant blue. She wore a flowing, seafoam green dress and a silver crown. Ike found it hard to take his eyes off her. She was even more beautiful than Mia. Marth waved his hand in front of Ike's face and brought him back to earth, chuckling as his friend blinked his eyes several times.

"Link!" A little imp-like creature with fiery orange hair called out to Link. He looked her way and got up from his seat, rushing to embrace his dear friend.

"Midna!" Link shouted. "I thought I'd never see you again!" Zelda smiled at both of them and joined their hug.

Just then, a Goron stomped into the room. He lifted all three of them off the ground and squeezed them tightly. "My friends!" he said, and they all laughed.

Sothe watched all the commotion from his spot next to Ike. A thought occurred to him. I know she tried out. Why isn't she here? He looked all around the room for her, but he didn't see her anywhere. Maybe she decided not to take the job after all? He sighed and looked back down at his rough hands. He was closely examining them, when he heard small chirps. He looked up and saw a little orange bird flying towards him. The bird landed on his shoulder and continued to whistle in his ear. "Yune?"
