"Okay, why are we doing this again...?" asked Samus as she and Snake walked into the airport with a now two year old Dakota who was babbling on about the planes and how lame they were compared to "Uncle Fox's". She was walking beside them, holding on to her mother's hand.
"I'm telling you, Master Hand thinks something weird is going on inside of the Smashers. I'm just worried about Dakota's safety, that's all," Snake explained. He was dragging a small baggage of luggage decorated with Transformers characters behind him. "Besides, Mei Ling loves Dakota."
"It's not Mei Ling I'm worried about," Samus admitted as they went through the security. Dakota poked the man that cleared them. "It's your friend Otacon and the Colonel... I actually like Dakota interacting with Mei Ling. She could learn a lot from her."
Snake looked at his wife oddly as he considered what she said. "What's wrong with Otacon and the Colonel? They would teach her how to defend herself."
"At two?" Snake returned with a sly smile. "I highly doubt that."
"Look at that plane!" Dakota added in randomly. "It's stupid."
The two looked at the plane she was pointing at. It looked fairly normal, like the other ones. The two gave each other confused looks before turning to their daughter.
"And why's that, Dakota?" Snake asked her as the two year old made faces at the plane.
Dakota looked up at her father, a confused look on her cute, two year old face. "Can you see it? It's not like Uncle Fox's, or Uncle Meta Knight's! Their planes are cool."
Of course. Dakota was surrounded by tons of people who had far more high tech things than the 'real world' outside of the World of Smash. Since Dakota interacted with each and every one of the Smashers, she would consider an everyday plane 'stupid' and a normal every day high definition 51' plasma screen television set 'boring'. When you live with Meta Knight and Fox, you get far better definition and speed.
"Well..." Snake was not sure how to respond to what his daughter had just said. Years of fighting Metal Gear and hanging out with Smashers did not prepare him for being a parent.
"Um..." The same thing qualified for poor Samus, who had interacted with all the kid Smashers before finding out she was pregnant. She thought she was ready... but quickly dumped that idea when Dakota was born and already had no fear and even laughed whenever Bowser held her.
"Look! Look! Daddy, look! Do you see me now! I'm waving my hands! Over here! Daddy, look!" The two turned to Dakota.
Or, where Dakota was now. She had somehow escaped them and ended up climbing a nearby pedestal that had no bars, no crevices to climb up it and nothing near it to climb up that way. All in all, the pedestal that Dakota had climbed at the age of two (about two feet and three inches tall...) was over seven feet tall, with no way to climb it in the first place.
Both parents, like this was an everyday occurrence, had blank and bored looks on their faces as those passing by looked completely astounded at what the two year old had done.
"Daddy! Look! Over here! Look! See me now? Daddy!"
"Aw, crap," Snake muttered. "Sam, call security."
"I'm Spiderman! Daddy, see? I'm Spiderman!"
Samus nodded. "Got it." She walked away towards the security desk.
Snake sighed and rubbed his face with his palm. "This kid is going to be the end of me..."
"Daddy! See me? I'm Spiderman! Whee! I'm high! Look! See me now? Daddy! See me?"

To this day, Snake can still not figure out how Dakota climbed the pedestal.
It's time for: SMASH GENERATION SIDE TRACKS!

Riley jumped up, dressed like Naruto in the first season. He even had a wig. He placed one hand on his hip, and pointed the other in the screen.
"I'm going to beat you! Believe it!" he exclaimed.
Then Pear flew by on a platform in the background dressed like Sakura. She was leaning forward so that one hand was placed on her knee, and the other was in a 'peace' sign. She had one eye closed and was wearing a wig, too.
"Dattebayo!" she said, not quite understanding Naruto.
