A/N: Thanks for the reviews! We'll have to wait and see what happens to Master Hand and his show. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

Pit was happy to return to Sky World. He had really missed it. He loved the Smash Mansion, but there just wasn't anything like home.
First thing on his to-do list was finding this universe's Palutena. He had to explain the whole situation around the dinner to her. That way, she could help him find a way to make food by himself.
:.。. o()o .。.*
No one had actually seen Pit leave. This meant no one knew where Pit had left the menu.
Link and Marth were the first to arrive for breakfast and were extremely thrilled by the menu's absence.
Link suggested that they ask around for information. But Marth argued that knowing Pit, he probably left the menu in his room and told no one about it.
Ike joined in suggesting they should just have everything be a surprise. This was met with glares from the two shorter swordsmen.
The three tried to come up with an effective plan. That was easier said than done though.
Ike was too used to having people plan for him and wasn't much help, while Link and Marth kept arguing about how the other's plan wouldn't work.
This was what happened every time Roy, the smartest guy of the group and the only one that can plan things with no trouble, wasn't there.
The three didn't know it, but the reason Roy wasn't there was because he had to show the newcomers around. This was all part of Master Hand's plan to have more funny moments in the show.
:.。. o()o .。.*
After finding Palutena, Pit had been given permission to use the goddess's kitchen and ingredients.
The goddess warned the angel to be careful while mixing the ingredients because one wrong move could make the food come to life.
The green haired goddess gave Pit a recipe with a lot of pictures to help him avoid a catastrophic scenario. She also told him that in case things went bad, she'd rush in to help him without letting his friends know.
Pit was thankful that Palutena was so kind to him. She had even allowed him to spend the whole morning practicing.
He had to make sure he mastered cooking before 3 pm. He hadn't planned anything too hard, so he was confident he could do it.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Realizing they weren't getting anywhere, Marth, Link and Ike decided to search for Roy.
They checked every room to no avail. Where could he be? Had he been kidnapped? Was he turned into a trophy by Tabuu? Did he get killed? No one knew.
Normal people would have given up, but these were video game protagonists. They didn't know what giving up meant.
:.。. o()o .。.*
By noon, Pit had managed to cook quite a few different meals. Every meal improved in quality.
He could feel it. The dinner was going to be a success.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Marth, Link and Ike were getting really tired and hungry. But they still hadn't given up.
Ike was about to suggest a quick snack break when he heard someone yell "Aether!". He ran towards the sound and was quickly followed by Marth and Link.
The trio entered a noisy room which turned out to be one of the training rooms. There, they saw a group of people watching others train.
Lucina, who was among the group of people, ran towards Marth with the biggest smile ever.
"Hero-King, Marth! You will never believe who's here!"
"Let me guess, we memed K Rool into Smash?"
"What? He's in Smash. But... Father is here! As a fighter!"
"Oh, great..."
"I know right!"
While Lucina was going on and on about her father to Marth, Link and Ike decided to look for the guy. They found him trying out some moves with Dark Samus and Ritcher.
Before they could speak to him, a huge explosion was heard and one of the room's walls came crumbling down.
Roy entered the room while avoiding any falling debris. He apologized for the destroyed wall and his absence. The redhead explained he wanted to get something heavy out of the way using flare blade but he tripped on a banana peel Diddy King had left.
Everyone was distracted and Marth took this opportunity to get away from Lucina. He rushed towards Roy and asked him what he had been doing.
After explaining that he had to show the newcomers around, Roy told his friends they could talk after 3 pm.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Pit felt he had mastered enough cooking to prepare his dinner. He was really looking forward to make food for his friends.
But he had something else to do. He had to prepare the entertainment. He was sure his friends would love it. They all needed to relax after all. How could they not love what he had planned? Link enjoyed healing fountains, Marth liked things that made him more "healthy and beautiful", Ike would love a relaxing activity and Roy would enjoy finally getting to do something calm with his friends.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Roy had finally finished with the tour and met up with his friends. Marth was about to ask Roy for a plan, but Ike had other plans.
He wanted to know why Chrom could use Aether. So Roy explained the whole situation to Marth and Link's dismay.
"So, he has the same recovery as me. But he uses a fighting style similar to yours," Ike summarized.
"Yeah, but since his sword is the same as Lucina's, he doesn't need to sweetspot," Roy clarified before being struck by an idea, "You know Dragon Ball right?"
"I swear, if you two do what I think you're going to-" Marth yelled before being cutoff.
"Fusion!" Roy and Ike shouted in unison as they copied the Dragon Ball pose.
After wasting an hour, the group had finally gotten to the topic of the menu.
"We can just ask Palutena to find it," Roy told his friends.
The group found Palutena and asked about the menu. She found it and let them keep it.
"I don't get it," they all said as they looked at Pit's terrible drawings.
:.。. o()o .。.*
It was finally time to go to Sky World. The four friends entered Palutena's portal and were greeted by Pit. The angel took his friends to the big dining hall in Palutena's temple after showing them around. Pit left to prepare his starter leaving his friends alone.
The four swordsmen stared at the menu intensely trying to figure out what the drawing was. It was all in vain. Pit was a terrible artist and his drawings looked like a three-year-old's scribbles.
Everyone agreed that the starter was probably going to be something unhealthy. They decided not to place any bets since last time everyone has bet the same thing and it has been a huge waste of time.
Pit returned from the kitchen carrying a huge bowl of fruit salad. His friends were utterly speechless at the sight.
"Um, are you guys okay?" the angel asked confused by his friends' silence, "You did get my menu, right?"
"Yeah, of course, we did," Ike laughed nervously.
"We just weren't expecting it to... look so good!" Link lied.
"My dinner's going to be awesome!" Pit boasted, "Just you wait and see, Link!"
The five friends ate the fruit salad that turned out to actually be pretty good.
:.。. o()o .。.*
It was entertainment time. This meant Pit was feeling extremely excited, but also a bit nervous. He really hoped everyone would like visiting the hot springs.
When the group arrived at the hot spring's location, they were hit by a realization. No one had brought a swimsuit nor a towel.
"You guys didn't bring towels?" Pit asked confused.
"Um… Roy was supposed to bring them. I made sure to tell him not to forget them," Marth lied trying to push the blame onto his friend.
"What!?" the redhead yelled, "You never told me anything!"
"I know! We can use our capes as towels," Ike suggested only to be met by glares from his shorter friends.
"But what about the swimsuits? We're not going in naked, right?" Link asked.
"Of course not! I always swim in hot springs fully clothed!" Pit smiled, "I'll go get you guys some towels. You guys can just jump in."
The angel ran to fetch some towels while his friends stared at the hot spring unsure on what to do next. Should they go in it with all their clothes or should they wait for Pit to return and discuss things over. Pit was expecting everyone to enter the water fully clothed and if he did it the whole time, there had to be no danger seeing how his clothes appeared to be in perfect condition.
Link decided to feel the water with his hands. It was nice and warm. It felt pretty relaxing. That is until someone decided to push him in.
"Water looks good, Marth! Look at Link he's having a great time," Roy pointed at the blond he had just pushed.
"But his hair is completely wet. I don't want to make mine wet! And my tiara? It will get wet too! It might even rust!"
"But look at Ike, he's happily washing Ragnell in the water. Link's doing the same with the Master Sword. If it makes you feel better, you can use my headband to protect your tiara."
Marth refused, so to try and get Marth in the water, Roy used a tactic that could get him killed. He dared to do what would get most people killed, especially if said person was hated by the prince. No one had ever come close to succeeding, they all ended up getting beaten up by Marth.
Roy was unsure if his plan would even work. He had a speed, height and strength advantage, but when Marth was pissed, he was pissed.
The redhead walked towards the Marth and stood close to him. Roy could see that Marth was confused, this was a good sign.
"Marth, I… I'm..." Roy said as he leaned towards Marth.
"Y-you're what?" the prince blushed unaware of what was about to happen.
"Wait, he's really going to do it?" Ike asked Link.
"Seems like it," the blond answered, "I didn't think he'd do it here and now! He could have waited until the dinner was done to get himself killed!"
The two friends in the hot spring watched intensely what was unfolding in front of them. Pit had even returned, all though the angle he was watching from made everything more confusing to him.
"Marth… I'm so sorry! Please don't kill me!" Roy shouted as he grabbed the prince's tiara and threw it in the hot spring.
"My tiara!" Marth screamed, "I'm going to kill you!"
"I said I was sorry," the redhead cried as he jumped in the hot spring.
The blue-haired prince jumped after him but remembered he had to find his tiara. He couldn't see anything because of the steam and was forced to rely on touch. This presented a few problems. The main one being that Marth was one inch too short to reach the bottom of the spring without making his hair wet.
Seeing Roy and Ike effortlessly picking up objects without making their hair wet only rubbed salt in the wound. Marth was still angry at them, mainly Roy though, for getting taller, manlier and leaving him as the shortest and girliest one of the trio.
While Marth was having the worst moment of his life, the other four friends were relaxing and playing. They were seeing who could find the funniest and most interesting object at the bottom of the spring. Roy had found a bow and Pit had found a weirdly shaped rock. Link thought he had found something, but when he picked it up, Pit fell into the water. Link looked at what he had grabbed and noticed it was the angel's foot.
It was Ike's turn to find an object and he found a tiara. He was pretty disappointed and was about to put it back in the water when his friends stopped him.
"That's Marth's tiara!" Pit noted.
"Shit, what do we do now?" Ike asked.
"I guess we can give it back," Roy suggested.
"That would be the logical thing to do, but Marth is pretty angry right now. Maybe if we throw it in his direction while he's not watching, he'll find it and he'll calm down," Link explained.
"All right, let's do this!" Pit said as he grabbed the tiara from Ike's hand.
The angel threw the tiara in Marth's direction. It was about to land close to where Marth was standing, but the prince moved and ended up in the tiara's trajectory. His friends yelled at him to move out of the way, but it was too late. The tiara hit Marth on the head and the prince fell into the water.
"Well, Pit, Roy… It was nice knowing you," Ike smiled.
"What he said," Link said as he ran out of the spring with Ike.
The two abandoned friends slowly turned around to look at the prince that was glaring at them. The two of them were royally screwed.
"M-Marth, I'm so sorry," Pit cried, "It was an accident, I just wanted to give you your tiara back! I'll give you the best meals if you want."
"Y-yeah! I'm s-sorry, Marth," Roy apologized, "I-I'll make it up to you! I'll do whatever you want or I'll buy you anything you want. Just please don't kill me!"
The prince seemed amused by the begging and said he'd think about it. Of course, he would come up with something cruel for them to do. It wasn't as though he was a big softie or anything.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Everyone returned to the dining hall and waited for Pit to bring dinner. The angel returned from the kitchen with burgers. Link and Ike were the only ones talking which was pretty unusual since they were usually the most quiet ones. The others just ate in silence waiting for dinner to be over.
Link and Ike excused themselves to go the bathroom.
Once they were out of sight from the others, they discussed on how to make the dinner less boring.
"They must be really angry at each other," Link sighed, "They're not saying a word."
"We've got to do something, but what?"
"Maybe we can play a game that forces us to speak?"
"Great idea! Which ones do you know?"
"Truth or dare, seven minutes in heaven, spin the bottle-"
"Which appropriate ones do you know?"
"Never have I ever?"
"Perfect!"
The duo returned to the dinning hall and suggested that everyone play Never have I ever. Surprisingly everyone accepted.
"The first one to lose won't get any dessert. I'll start," Link said, "Never have I ever killed a dragon."
Ike, Roy and Marth glared at Link who laughed.
"My turn!" Pit yelled, "Never have I ever puked after eating."
Roy and Marth turned pale as they remembered the previous dinner.
"Never have I ever," Ike started, "Been the shortest person in a trio of friends."
Ike's statement was met with a lot of disapproval. A lot.
"Uh… Never have I ever had a friend who was shorter than me grow taller than me," Roy smiled nervously.
Marth felt extremely targeted by Roy's statement. He was sure Roy only chose that to brag about how he was now only shorter than Ike.
"Never have I..." Marth glared, "Ever not been a prince."
"Oh, come on!" his friends shouted simultaneously.
The group of friends continued playing for ten minutes. Marth ended up losing and seemed quite happy about it. Pit left to prepare the dessert leaving his friends alone.
"Um, did you guys finish your dinner yesterday?" Link asked nervously.
"No, why?" Marth answered.
"Well… Pit, Ike and I ate it all!"
"It's okay, we really don't mind," Roy smiled.
"Yeah, I'd never say no to someone wanting to eat my food," Marth added.
"Guys, you don't need to pretend to not mind," Ike told his friends.
"We really don't."
Pit returned with four ice creams and strawberry shortcakes. They looked so good that Marth regretted being happy because he lost.
Everyone, except Marth, was eating their dessert happily. Roy noticed Marth seemed sad and offered him a piece of his cake. However, Link stopped him stating that they had all agreed that the loser would get no dessert.
But for once, luck was on Marth's side. A vegetable was walking down a hallway.
"Guys! There's a walking eggplant!" Roy shouted.
Link, Ike and Pit quickly stood up and ran towards it. Roy pushed his plate towards Marth and told him to eat some before the others returned. Marth was about to eat some when the Link, Ike and Pit returned. Roy and Marth froze at their friends return.
"Almost forgot this," Pit said as he took his plate.
Link and Ike also picked up their plates and the trio ran towards the eggplant while eating their cake. Marth and Roy sighed in relief and quickly finished the cake on the plate before catching up with their friends.
"You already finished your cake?" Ike asked Roy.
"Uh, yeah! It was really good so I kinda ate it all in a few bites."
"Everyone, attack that eggplant!" Pit yelled.
Everyone slashed at the vegetable. It was now cut up and dead. However, it had not gone down without a fight. The group of friends were now covered in eggplant.
"I guess we should go home and take a shower," Pit laughed.
:.。. o()o .。.*
Back in the smash mansion, everyone took a shower and met up afterwards.
"That was an eventful dinner," Link smiled.
"Sure was! We killed an eggplant, I almost died and Roy and Marth managed to friendship break up and reconcile in the same evening," Pit yelled in joy.
"Who's turn is it tomorrow?" Roy asked.
"Not mine," Marth answered, "I need to mentally recover."
"All right, Link, you're up."
:.。. o()o .。.*
Later that night, Link was staring at a blank piece of paper.
"I can't come up with anything!" he yelled.
"Shut up! I'm trying to sleep!" Toon Link shouted as Young Link laughed.

Master Hand was looking at his statistics. The last episode had performed better than expected. He knew he was on his way to fame. People were already starting to make merch of his new show and only the first episode had been released.
The hand laughed as he edited the second episode. But not loud enough so that Crazy Hand wouldn't hear anything. He couldn't afford anyone in the Smash Mansion finding out.

A/N: Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed.
I'm finally back home! I'll try to update this story every week. I also need to start working on my serious fic again.
I originally wanted to include other KI:U characters but couldn't really find a good way to introduce them. I haven't played it in over a year, so I can't really remember all the characters very well besides Viridi, Palutena, Hades, Phosphora, Black Pit and Medusa.
See you guys next chapter.
