Best Buy

The line for Smash-Fest was so long that a news crew had come down to the store to report on it.

Katherine Mulligan: This is Katherine Mulligan filling in for Malva, who is currently on maternity leave and I found out today is my 2nd cousin. We are here today at Best Buy, where the world record for longest line, previously held by the premiere of Stair Wax: The Farts Awaken, has been broken. We are currently awaiting the…

Another member of the news team walked up to Katherine Mulligan and whispered something in her ear.

Katherine Mulligan: This is Katherine Mulligan with breaking news! I have just received word that this line has not actually set that before mentioned world record. Someone in the line, who was impatient, was simply exaggerating when they said "This is the longest line ever!" This has been Katherine Mulligan bringing you news that I didn't know wasn't actually true. My apologies. I'm Katherine Mulligan.

The four Louds in Vanzilla arrived at Best Buy.

Luna: Geez, dudes! That line's longer than Mick Swagger's career. Should we just go home?

Lynn: YES!

Lily: The line's worth it.

Lincoln: Is it though? I mean, there's gotta be like 100 people there. And 100 times the amount of play time everybody gets is uhh…..

Lynn: A really, really long time.

Lincoln: Yeah, that sounds about right.

Lily: I still wanna go though. And the longer we sit in here talking about if we should, the longer the line's gonna get.

Lincoln: Good point. If we decide to leave, we always can while we're in the line.

Lincoln and Lily got out of the van.

Luna: Dudes, wait. I gotta park first.

Lincoln: Park and then meet us at the end of the line.

Luna: Ok.

Lincoln and Lily went to the back of the line, standing behind Karli and Emolga.

Karli: Hey, guys!

Lincoln: Hi, Karli. Is it just you and Emolga here? Where are George and Twin Anthony?

Karli: They said they wouldn't come because they thought it wouldn't be worth waiting in the line. They're no fun apparently. So, you guys wanna talk about anything?

Lincoln: …..This is gonna kill the mood, but uhh…how did you feel about Anthony dying?

Emolga got sad.

Karli: I would've been sad about it, but I think he's gonna come back to life.

Lily: Why do you think that?

Karli: Anthony wouldn't just kill himself. He would know about everybody who still wants him to be alive. So I think he only did it because he knew there was a way he could come back. It should just be a matter of time until that happens.

Emolga: Emol?

Karli: Yes, really.

Luna walked up to Karli and the others. They weren't in the back of the line anymore because more people stood behind them now. Luna was carrying Lynn, who was angry.

Lincoln: Why are you carrying her?

Luna: Because she refused to get out of the van.

Karli: Why's she here anyway?

Lily: Believe it or not, she's here to play the game with us.

Karli: Yeah, and Waluigi's gonna be a playable character. Speaking of which, what characters are you guys gonna play as?

Lincoln: Link.

Lily: Fox.

Lynn: NO ONE!

Luna: I'm not gonna play, I'm just here to watch.

Karli: Emolga too. I'm gonna be playing as the 8th Inkling. Because Whatshername hated him.

Lincoln: Man, you really did not like Whatshername. Why is that?

Karli: Because…..uhh….she was really…I can't remember.

Emolga: Emolga Emol.

Karli: Oh yeah, that's it.

Luna: What did she say?

Karli: I don't wanna talk about it.

Lily: Hey, look. The line moved up a bit.

Lincoln, Luna, Lily, Karli, and Emolga went forward.

Lynn: *groan* This means we're one step closer to having to play that stupid game. Literally.

Lincoln: Will you stop complaining?! No one's making you do this.

Karli: Also, I'm pretty sure Lori has the word "literally" copyrighted.

Lincoln: If you hate being here so much, you can go home.

Lynn: Gladly!

Lynn tried to leave, but she couldn't bring herself too. She kept trying to step out of the line, but her body just wouldn't let her.

Karli: Obviously there's some teeny tiny part of you that wants to stay. So why don't you just give that tiny part what it wants? After today, it'll leave you alone. Possibly. And please decide what you're gonna do quickly because you're being rude to the people behind you.

Lynn looked at the people standing behind her and could tell they wanted to move forward.

Lynn: Fine!

Lynn stepped forward, allowing the people behind her to do the same.

Lynn: You're lucky none of my friends are gonna see me here.

Lincoln: None of your friends hate video games. I've been told there have been many times when they play Madden, FIFA, and NBA Jam and stuff and they think it's ridiculous that you won't play with them.

Karli: I see one of Lynn's friends coming.

Karli pointed at who she saw.

Lynn: You do?!

Lynn looked where Karli was pointing. She saw Robin who was with Isabelle.

Lynn: Oh, that's not so bad. Robin's more of an acquaintance.

Karli: Still, the irony of you saying your friends won't see you and then Robin showing up could've been funny but the thing Lincoln said prevented it from getting the proper comedic timing.

Robin: Hey, Lynn. What are…?

Guy in Line: Hey! No cutting! Get to the back of the line.

Robin: I was gonna. I just wanna talk to my acquaintance a bit first.

Guy in Line: Oh, okay.

Robin: So Lynnsanity, are you here to destroy any and all video game stuff Best Buy has?

Lynn: I am now!

Lincoln: I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Lynn: Why not?

A Wynaut got in line.

Lincoln: Smelly Cheeses.

Lynn: …Aw dang. You're right.

Robin: You still haven't paid them back, have you?

Lynn: Not at all. Are you here to give me the money I need?

Robin: I'm here to play the Smash Bros. demo.

Lynn: I was hoping you wouldn't say that.

Robin: And I will be playing as PAC-MAN, not Robin or Villager.

Lily: Are you gonna pick him because he's round and your hands are…?

Lincoln: Sorry to interrupt, Lily, but I've got something important to ask Isabelle.

Lily: I feel my question was a pretty good one, but okay.

Lincoln: Isabelle, how's it feel to be in Smash Bros. now? I bet it's indescribable.

Isabelle got sad.

Lincoln: What? What did I say?

Karli: The feeling is indescribable because she's never gotten that feeling.

Lincoln: Huh?

Robin: The Isabelle in Smash isn't the one I know.

Lincoln: ….There's more than one Isabelle?

Karli: Robin is from a different universe than Villager. The Smash Isabelle is the one he and the other Villagers know.

Lincoln: I'm already confused.

Luna: I can see we've still got a lot to learn about this "multiple universes" thing.

Lily: Not me. It's a pretty straightforward concept. I don't get what you guys find so confusing.

Karli: I'm from a different universe. If you have any questions you can ask me.

Lincoln: You are?!

Luna: Does that mean there's another Karli who's from this universe?

Karli: Nope. Long story.

Karli looked to her right and saw somebody who she had never seen before.

Karli: I've changed my mind. If you got any questions, ask that person.

Karli pointed at the person she was talking about and everyone else looked in that direction. They saw a person who looked exactly like Lynn. She was wearing a full Team Rocket uniform and seemed to be mad about something.
