Chapter 3: Vacation Conference

The boxer gulped as he continued to read the letter over and over. Shaking his head, he wondered what he should say to the skittish Mario Bro. Should he accept? Deny? If he does deny him, he would hurt his feelings…but he loves Ryu! He can't cheat on the martial artist.

He decided to play along to not hurt Luigi's feelings. Grabbing another piece of paper and a pencil, he wrote:

To Luigi:

Hey sexy. I read your letter over and over again, and I gotta say: your letter is wonderfully written. I keep imagining you every time I read it. I would love to be your boyfriend! I can't wait to spend time with you, my little Italian plumber. Reply back!

Little Mac placed the pencil to the side of the desk and folded the paper, not bothering to put it in an envelope due to his still bleeding tongue. He walked out of his room and went down the hallway. Spotting the door that read Mario and Luigi, he slid the letter under the door. Sighing, he walked away, wondering what the hell he had done.


"All right," Master Hand said, looking over pieces of paper that were in front of him. "Summer vacations…summer vacations…" he muttered as he flipped over the papers, looking for what he needed. He then found it; cards and papers of some vacation locations, and he pulled them out. "Ah, there they are!"

"So uh…" Bowser spoke up. "Where should we go this time, Master Hand?"

"I…" Master Hand attempted to speak, but he shuts up. He began to think, as shown by rubbing his index finger and thumb together.

Ganondorf raised an eyebrow. "You don't know where?" he asked.

Master Hand shook himself as a way to shake his head. "I…no…" he stuttered.

Bowser sighed. "Well, what do the papers say?" he asked.

Master Hand grabbed the papers and looked over them. "Hmm…" he hummed, flipping one paper after the other. "We went to most of them already in the previous summers. How about…Coney Island?"

Ganondorf shook his head, trying to hold in a laugh. "No no, remember what happened with Kirby and Yoshi there?"

Master Hand chuckled, remembering that one time. "Yes…perhaps we shouldn't let that happen again. Anyway…" he flipped more papers. "Yoshi's Island…no…Dreamland…nah ah…Skyworld…hmm…huh?"

He then pulled out a card that spoke of a place called Revanosa Island. On the card were big, yellow letters that said: Congrats! You and your friends just won a trip to Revanosa Island! There were painted coconut trees with coconuts hanging there, and there was a beach under them. The sky was painted blue and the clouds were in the sky, making the card appealing to the eye.

"Aha!" Master Hand exclaimed, pulling out the card. "How about Revanosa Island?"

Bowser and Ganondorf stared at him. "What is that?" Bowser asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I…am not sure, but as you can see," he showed the card to the two villains. "It sounds like a good place to spend the summer vacation off."

Bowser looked over the card. "Hmm…" he hummed, reading the letters and looking over the landscape of the card.

"Interesting…" Ganondorf spoke, his finger on his chin. "I like that!"

"Sounds good?" Master Hand asked.

"Of course," Bowser and Ganondorf said simultaneously.

Master Hand moved himself up and down as a way to nod. "Good! I'll let the Smashers know where we're heading this summer. You two will stay here with me and Crazy Hand."

Bowser and Ganondorf groaned, facepalming at the same time. "Really? Again, Master Hand?" Bowser asked, rolling his eyes.

Master Hand nodded. "Yes. We do need at least two Smashers to help us."

Ganondorf sighed. "All right…"

"Conference dismissed." Master Hand said, balling himself into a fist and slamming himself on the table. The items that sat on the table jumped slightly before they landed back.

Bowser and Ganondorf got up from their chairs and walked out the door. The two began to complain about how they had to stay in the Mansion once again.

"Stupid Master Hand…" Bowser grunted.


Little Mac sat on his bed, still looking over Ryu's deserted bed. Sighing, he began to think about what he had done an hour ago.

Why did I even write that? What if Ryu finds out if he returns? He thought to himself, guilt beginning to fill him.

He then heard a booming voice from the intercom. "CALLING ALL SMASHERS!" Crazy Hand called in the intercom. "TODAY'S SUMMER VACATION IS IN REVANOSA ISLAND! YOU HAVE A FEW DAYS TO PACK UP! HAVE FUN!"

Once Crazy Hand was done with the announcement, Little Mac sighed. "Great…" he said. Thoughts of Ryu and the letter remained in his head. Shaking his head, he laid down on his bed, closing his eyes.

I don't feel like going… he thought to himself.


Constructive criticism is welcomed!
