The other smashers looked like they were having a good time. As I was sitting down at my table with Fox, and… BLEH, Jigglypuff, I noticed that Mario walked in. I also noticed he was heading towards Peach's table. Ha, not until ROB stopped him. The Italian looked a bit dazed, because the robot had stopped him. Master Hand had set up a system, where you ALWAYS sat with your room mates. It may sound like a stupid idea, but when you think about it, it was actually a good idea (if you haven't, just trust me).

While ROB was explaining the system to him, I watched as Pit sat with Ganondorf, having a heated argument about the goddesses. Next to them was Ness, Captain, and DK. Ness seemed to be freaking out, as Captain and DK were making out. It seems that he was used to anyone being gay. Boy was THAT kid in for a reality check, especially since he had to share a room with them.

Yoshi and Kirby were having an eating contest. The referee of this contest was non-other than Zelda. One might not know this, but Zelda was REALLY into competitions. Only I really knew her, as both of us were from Hyrule. A couple of cheers came from across the room, cheering on the pink puffball as he put away another dozen eggs. This dino was not gonna get away with a challenge to the small guy's eating rep.

Peach, Samus, and Bowser were having a staring contest. I heard loser had to go out with Olimar (he also sat with us). Falco was recording the whole scene (he recently began an avid camera hobby), while Pikachu and Ike argued over who the next legendary pokemon would be. Master Hand was arguing with the Ice Climbers over who they would room with.

Oh, and who am I, you may ask? I'm Link, the hero of Time! And yes, I must say that every Time (YES!) I meet someone.

Apparently, the Ice Climbers and Master Hand still couldn't decide, as the giant fist began to walk up to the podium near the buffet (well, floated to it). I think he's learned that a simple "wave" wouldn't get anyone's attention, so instead he slammed to ground. Everyone stopped what they were doing (except the faggots who were still tongue-wrestling), intentively watching the hand in the back of the room. What could it be that he wanted to say?

"I think I've gotten everyone's attention.", said the hand. "There has been a few notes that have come to my attention as well. First of all, let me tell you that every one who is he-"

Suddenly, Luigi came running through the double doors, racing to his seat. As he sat down, everyone's eyes went back to Master.

"As I WAS saying, everyone in this room has been picked by me to attend this year's fight session. This is considered an honor, so give yourselves a pat on the back"

A couple of mediocre claps were heard, making Master tense up a bit. Great, now they've done it.

"Secondly, I want you all to know that you all will help me import in a couple of new recruits. But before that is to come, I must inform you on something you need to know."

Murmur aroused around the room.

Is it just me or is any of this familiar…?

"You have fought for me before, but I have put all your memories of past smashes in small orbs. Those orbs will appear at your table-"

In front of all of us, a little bubble appeared in front of us. It flashed many different colors.

"Oh, they've come early. Now shallow them."

A couple of questioned looks came from the crowd.

"DO IT! IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!"

No one objected. Everyone took the orbs to their mouths, and swallowed as told (save those thoughts for your hentai, you pervs). Then something miraculous happened.

I remembered everything. I remembered my fights with a couple of people in the room: a tag team match between me, Wolf, Bowser, and Sonic, a sudden death with Zelda's persona, Sheik, and a tournament with most of the smashers as well. I remembered the stash of trophies that we collected, far and wide. I even remembered a intense fight with Master and Crazy (I had beat them with one life)

And the funny thing is, I didn't feel as if anything had happened physically. Everything just came to my mind, like a head rush.

"You should remember past smashes, melees, and brawls now. Only a chosen few of those past fighters are still here, so don't you feel special?"

Lots of nods and yes's were seen/heard around.

"Ok, now that that's settled, we can go over those new recruits. Everyone in this room will have a friend from their realm come to fight with them. As an example, Mario and co, pick a person to fight with you."

The Mushroom Kingdom gang shouted across the room to each other, suggesting smashers to have fun with them. It didn't mind though. I'm gonna slash everyone with my sword, because I'm the HERO OF TIME!

Well, anyway, soon they came to a decision. They had wanted Geno (the puppet guy with magical powers, as I've been told) to join them.

"Ok, I'll put that on my list. -sigh- Everyone else, come to a decision!"

The next hour was the same as the past 5 seconds, except NO ONE could make up their mind. Well except, me that is.

As if it looked as if everyone had decided, Master went over the list.

"Ok, I have on my list: Geno, Tetra, Zekrom (now those two idiots can stop arguing!), a Waddle Dee, Funky Kong, Blood Falcon, Poo, a Metroid (?), Birdo, Lynn, Professor Layton. For smashers who do not know many people, Professor Layton will substitute for you."

A couple a looks from the crowd shot towards Master, that said 'who the fuck is Professor Layton?'.

"Now, their bunks will be divided as said: Zekrom, the Waddle Dee, Birdo, and Poo will be in room 8. Lynn, Funky Kong, Blood Falcon, and Metroid will be in room 9. Finally, Tetra, Geno, and the Professor will be in room 10. Oh, and the Ice Climbers get to share rooms with room 2, Pit and Ganondorf."

Two rather loud moans of complaints came from Table 2 as the two pip-squaks walked over to it.

"You two hush back there!"

Silence, just as he asked for.

"Ok, continue what you were doing before as me and my brother summon the new duelists."

Master floated down from the podium and headed for his office, as I can imagine is his only get away, him being the manager of this whole thing and all. While he did so, everyone returned to what they were doing (Samus, Peach, and Bowser hadn't even blinked! Well, I can understand why.) and I began to wonder what this year was going to be like…
