Disclaimer: See Summary.

A/N: You know, I've notice that between the two stories I'm actively working on (the other being Two Souls, One Goal), this one is getting a lot more attention. I wonder why that is.

Anyway, this time around, Link and Corrin go on their date, which leads to a surprise appearance, and Samus gets her revenge in a very satisfying way.

Also, there will be some mild implications of suggestive material, but nothing explicit.

Enjoy.


"Link," Corrin whined. "I think I'm having second thoughts."

The Hylian champion glanced at his girlfriend, who had switched out her battle armor for a dark gray T-Shirt, sweatpants, and to her chagrin, a pair of flip-flops. She wiggled her feet in discomfort.

"Oh, lighten up, Corrie." Link said. "It's not that bad."

"Easy for you to say, elf boy." Corrin pouted.

"Why do you even prefer walking around barefoot, anyway?" Link asked.

Corrin's brows furrowed. "Honestly," She said. "I'm not one hundred percent sure. I think it could be because of my dragon lineage, but that's just my guess. But still, it feels so...I don't know, unnatural, for me to wear shoes."

Link sighed. "Alright," He said. "Then just carry them with you, and remember to put them on before we go inside."

"I like that plan." Corrin said eagerly, kicking off her flip-flops. She picked them up as she walked towards the door.

"Hang on, Corrie." Link said. "I'm not ready yet."

"Okay," Corrin said, jumping over the back of the couch and plopping down on it. "Wake me up when you're ready to go."

"I won't be long," Link said. "I just need to grab my phone."

Corrin sighed. Link was a sweet guy, and she was grateful to be his girlfriend, but the fact that he still stumbled over simple things like remembering his phone or wearing matching socks.

"Some boys just don't know how to act around women, I suppose." Came a voice from nearby. Corrin jolted, nearly falling off the couch. Bayonetta was sitting in a chair nearby, calmly sipping from a teacup. "Are you two going anywhere special?"

"Oh, sorry, Miss Bayonetta." Corrin said, straightening herself out. "Uh, Link mentioned a new pizza place that he wanted to try out."

"Ah, I see." The Umbra witch nodded. "I can't recall going there, but I've heard good things about it." She stood up and walked over to Corrin, making the younger woman's eyes widen. The dragon princess had forgotten that even with the enchantments adjusting certain resident's heights, the Umbra Witch still towered over her by about a head.

"So," Bayonetta continued. "Do you two have any other plans for tonight? Perhaps there's a movie playing that you two want to see, or perhaps you two will just come home and-"

"Watch a movie here?" Corrin finished quickly, cutting the Witch's suggestive comment short. The taller woman raised a slender eyebrow.

"Hmm," Bayonetta thought. She bent down so that the two were looking into each other's eyes. "So, you two haven't...gone there yet?"

Corrin blushed. "Personally," she replied. "I'd like to wait until we get married before we consider...that. It just feels like it makes the moment more...I don't know, memorable."

"Well, to each their own, I suppose." Bayonetta said. "But still, I'm sure you two will have a fun time tonight."

"Thanks." Corrin said. "So, what's going on here tonight?"

"Oh, not much, I'm afraid." Bayonetta said. "I think you two will have more fun than us tonight."

"Yeah, I guess." Corrin muttered. The taller woman sat down next to her on the couch, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Is something the matter, dear?" Bayonetta asked.

"No," Corrin said. "I just, worry about Link sometimes."

Unbeknownst to the two women, Link heard Corrin's comment and paused. Unaware of his presence, Bayonetta turned the younger woman around to face her. "Darling," Bayonetta said. "You can tell me if you think he isn't satisfying your needs. I'm sure I could find someone better for you."

"No, no." Corrin said quickly. "It's not like that."

"Then what is it, dear?" Bayonetta asked.

"It's just," Corrin sighed. "The way Master Hand presented the tournament opening, this may be the last official tournament."

"It would certainly seem that way," The Umbra witch said.

"Well, I love Link." Corrin continued. "And when the tournament is over, well..."

"Ah," Bayonetta reasoned. "You're afraid that once the tournament is over, you won't be able to see him again. Is that it?"

"Yeah," Corrin admitted, her voice shaking. "Back home, I'm being forced to choose between several different paths. It literally feels like I'm being pulled in different directions. But here, with all of my friends, the biggest decisions I make are usually what to eat, and what to wear, and that's about it. When I'm with Link, I just feel like I don't have any responsibilities hanging over my head. With Link, I feel..."

"Free." Bayonetta finished for her. Corrin nodded. From where he stood, Link absorbed that information. "Well, I can understand your concerns about the tournament ending."

"Really?" Corrin asked.

"Absolutely." The Umbra Witch replied. "Kirby is practically my son. It would break my poor heart if I could never see him again."

Corrin took a moment to soak that in. "Maybe we can talk with Master Hand about that at some point. He did say that the tournament existed as a means of uniting legends like us in friendship."

"I'd say the results were better than even he expected." Bayonetta joked. Corrin chuckled. "But you're right, dear. We need to discuss this with Master hand at some point. But for now, you and Link have a date to get on with."

"Yeah," Corrin sighed. She jolted slightly when Bayonetta pulled her into a hug.

"Contrary to popular belief," The Umbra witch said. "I care about a great many of the residents here, not just Kirby." She chuckled. "But my son still holds a special place in my heart. If you ever feel like you need someone to talk to when Link isn't around, you can always come speak with me. We are like family here, after all."

Corrin smiled and returned the hug. "Yeah." She agreed. "One big, dysfunctional family."

Link smiled. It was always nice to know that almost everyone in the mansion looked out for each other. Even Ganondorf, despite his disapproval with being brought back to life on someone else's terms, was happy to be back in the mansion.

"Link, dear," Bayonetta said, breaking the Hylian warrior out of his musings. "Don't you know it's rude to eavesdrop?"

Link stepped forward, blushing slightly. "Sorry," He mumbled.

"Don't be," Corrin said, as she and Bayonetta pulled apart. "I'm guessing you heard all of that."

"Yeah," Link said. "I didn't want to interrupt. I never knew you had it so bad back home."

Corrin hummed. "I didn't think to tell you," She admitted. "But that's why I took up the invitation for the Tournament. It gave me a chance to be me, instead of what other people want from me. And if that means falling in love with an elf, so be it."

Link smiled. "And I couldn't ask for a better woman to be my girlfriend." He said.

"Not even Zelda?" Bayonetta asked mischievously.

Link's eyes widened as he turned to face the witch. "Maybe in a past life," He replied. "But certainly not in this one. Samus would kill me. Don't you remember what happened after she found out Zelda was pregnant?"

"Hmm," Bayonetta pondered. "Perhaps you could refresh my memory."

"Well," Link began. "First, it looked like her brain had flat lined. Then she turned to me like she was ready to ram my sword through my throat. It took both Donkey Kong and Bowser to hold her back, remember?"

Corrin nodded. "Yeah," She said. "I think that was the angriest we'd ever seen her. At least, well, until earlier today of course."

"Ah, now I remember," Bayonetta said, even though she'd already known. "She'd thought that you had...ah, of course." She smirked. "I remember the panic in your eyes when you found out about Zelda."

"Yeah," Link replied. "So much for being the wielder of Courage, huh?"

"Don't worry about it, Linky." Corrin said. "A lot of people think Samus is scary when she's angry."

Bayonetta hummed quietly. "Don't you two have somewhere to go?" She asked.

Link's eyes widened. "Oh yeah," He said. "We gotta go, Corrin."

"Right behind you." Corrin replied, as they made their way to the door.

"Have fun, you two." Bayonetta said.

"Don't worry," Link replied. "We will."


Samus found Zelda sitting in the backyard, under a tree. Rinka was off playing some sort of game with the other kids. It looked like soccer, but Samus couldn't tell from the distance. She turned her attention to her wife.

"Hey, babe." Samus greeted.

Zelda looked up. "Oh, hi Samus." She said, as she moved over to let Samus sit down. The huntress sat against the tree, and Zelda sat down in her wife's lap. Samus wrapped her arms around Zelda protectively and sighed.

"You have no idea how much I've missed you." She murmured, rubbing Zelda's arm.

"I could say the same," Zelda replied. She leaned back into Samus' embrace. "Did you get all your anger out of your system, darling?"

"Most of it," Samus admitted. "I'm still steamed that Ridley's here. But I'm confident that I can get back at him later."

"Don't go overboard, my love." Zelda warned. "Violence only begets more violence."

"She says even though she, her wife, and all of her friends beat each other up on a regular basis." Samus quipped.

Zelda chuckled. "You know what I mean, Sammy." She said.

"Yeah, I got it, Zel." Samus replied, kissing the side of Zelda's face. "So, what are your plans for tonight?"

"I don't have any," Zelda replied.

The Bounty Huntress smiled. "Good." She said. "Because I do."

"Oh, really?" Zelda asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Samus replied. "Do you want to be a part of it?"

"Mmm," Zelda hummed. "That sounds nice."

"Good." Samus said. "Because your attendance is mandatory." She smiled as she buried her face in her wife's hair. "I love you so much, babe."

Zelda sighed. "I love you too, Samus."

Their moment of intimacy was interrupted when a familiar pink ball crashed into the tree with a loud shout. The sounds of branches breaking drew their attention upwards, just as Kirby fell out of the tree and landed next to them.

"Poyo..." He grumbled as he came back to his senses.

"Oh, Kirby." Zelda said. "Are you alright?"

"Poyo..." Kirby mumbled as he rubbed his head.

"Kirby!" Rinka shouted, running over to them. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do that, oh goddesses, are you okay?" She reached down and hugged him.

Kirby shook himself down and nodded. "Poyo." He said, as he wrapped his stubby arms around her.

"Oh, thank goodness." Rinka replied.

"What happened, sweetie?" Zelda asked.

"We were playing soccer and Kirby and I both ran for the ball." Rinka explained. "I accidentally kicked him instead."

"Poyo." Kirby cooed, patting her arm with his own. "It's...ok." He got it across that it had happened a lot to him back in Dreamland, when he was playing ball with the other kids.

"Are you having fun, princess?" Samus asked, directing the question to her daughter.

"Absolutely." Rinka replied. "I love it here! Everyone's so cool."

"My thoughts exactly," Samus replied. "Well, I'm glad you're having fun, baby."

Rinka frowned. She turned to Megan. "Hey, could you you guys give me a bit? I wanna talk with my moms for a second."

"Sure thing," Megan said, kicking the ball up into her arms. "C'mon, guys."

As the other kids ran off to go play some more, Rinka turned her attention to her moms. "Are you okay, mama?" She asked, facing Samus.

"What do you mean, sweetheart?" Samus asked.

"You got really angry earlier," Rinka explained, sitting next to them. "I wanna know what happened."

The two women looked at each other, and then Samus turned back to their daughter. "That creature, Ridley, is a monster." She said sternly. "In every sense of the word."

"What happened?" Rinka asked.

"He ate both of my parents in front of me when I was a kid." Samus replied. Rinka's eyes widened. "Yeah, that messed up my childhood a lot. But when I saw him on that stage, I just lost it. I don't want to have to watch my family die in front of me again, especially because of that monster."

Rinka leaned over and hugged Samus, who wrapped an arm around her. "I'm so sorry to hear that, mama." She whimpered.

"It's fine, sweetie." Samus reassured, brushing her hand through Rinka's chestnut brown hair. "It's in the past. Besides, I know I'll be able to keep you and your Mommy safe."

"You and nearly everyone else here." Zelda chimed in.

Rinka sighed. "It's so nice out today." She said wistfully. Her eyelids fluttered shut.

Samus petted her daughter's hair as she wrapped her other arm around Zelda. "Yeah," She said. "A nap with my wife and daughter sounds like a good idea." Zelda just smiled as she adjusted herself around, so that she could more effectively snuggle up to Samus.

The huntress sighed as she closed her eyes. Sure, she still had Ridley to deal with, and that made her blood boil, but this, having her family in her arms again, put a smile on her face. And she wouldn't give it up for anyone or anything.


"So, this is the place." Link said, as they arrived at the pizza place. It had taken them about half an hour to walk there from the mansion.

"Looks nice." Corrin said, slipping her shoes on. "I hope the food's good."

"Me too," Link said, holding the door open for his girlfriend. "After you, milady."

"Thank you, good sir." Corrin said with a small curtsey.

The first thing the two noticed when they entered the building was that the hostess had snow white skin. She had her navy blue hair bunched up in a bun. She also seemed to have navy blue blush marks on her face. She glanced up at them and smiled as she readjusted her glasses.

"Ah, welcome." She said. "I assume you two have a reservation." The couple exchanged a look, and the hostess smiled. "I'm joking. We don't do reservations here."

Corrin looked around, and noticed that there weren't many people in the restaurant. "Business must not be very good." She observed.

The hostess, whom Link noticed was wearing ballet flats despite wearing knee socks and a fancy skirt, simply chuckled. "Oh, don't worry." She said. "We're gearing down for the dinner rush. Trust me, you two are lucky to be here right now. If you give us about half an hour, the place will be packed."

"Okay, then." Link said. "Table for two, please."

"Of course, sir." The hostess said, picking up two menus and walking down the rows of booths. "Right this way, please."

She ushered them to a booth, setting their places. "Can I start you two off with some drinks?"

"Uh, cherry soda, please." Corrin said.

"I'll just have water." Link said.

"Coming right up." The hostess replied, as she wrote down their orders and walked off.

"So," Link said, turning to Corrin. "What have you been up to since I've last seen you?"

"Not much." Corrin replied. "You?"

"Well," Link sighed. "I got knocked out for a hundred years and woke up with nearly no memories of...well anything."

"Not even me?" Corrin asked, making a puppy face.

"Not even you," Link admitted. "But don't worry. All my memories are back now." He paused. "What's your name again?"

"Shut up." Corrin giggled. Then the waitress came around.

The pair was caught off guard by her appearance. Much like the hostess, her skin was bone white, but her color palette was red, as opposed to the hostess. She also had ruby red hair, bunched up in twin pigtails. Her sharp green eyes looked back at theirs with all the charm of a performer.

"What'll it be, guys?" She asked as she set down their drinks. "We have more than just pizza."

"I don't know," Link said, as he glanced through the menu. "What would you suggest, miss...?"

"Oh, where are my manners?" The waitress said. "My name is Bianca."

"Wait a minute." Corrin said, recognizing the name from the restaurant's name outside. "Isn't this your restaurant?"

"I know," Bianca replied. "I get that a lot. My sister told me that how unusual it is for the owner to double as a waitress, but we're kinda understaffed at the moment. Two of the usuals got sick and can't come in, so I gotta be the bigger woman and cover for them."

"That's nice," Link said. "I'm guessing your sister is the hostess. Is that right?"

"Oh, yeah." Bianca replied. "Her name's Ballora, by the way." Then she remembered why she was there. "Oh, right. What do I suggest? Uh, my ziti is well received. I'd definitely recommend that."

"You're the manager, waitress, and head chef?!" Corrin asked, wide eyed.

Bianca giggled. "Well, no. Not all at once." She said. "But yeah, a lot of the items on the menu use my personal recipe."

"Hmm." Link said, thinking it over. "What do you say, Corrin?"

"I'm thinking of trying that ziti." Corrin replied.

"Alright," Link said. "We'll take a shared order of ziti."

"Excellent choice." Bianca replied happily, as she wrote down their orders. "It'll be out shortly."

"Thank you," Link said.

As Bianca left, Corrin tapped Link's arm. "Hey, Link?" She asked.

"What's up, Corrie?" Link replied.

"Did something seem...I don't know, off, about those two?" She wondered.

"Off as in 'They're serial killers who are secretly plotting to poison us and stuff our bodies in the freezer'," Link asked. "Or off as in something else?"

"They don't look...natural." Corrin explained. "They almost remind me of...Metal."

"Metal?" Link asked. "You mean Sonic's brother?"

Unbeknownst to them, the woman they were talking about froze for a second.

"Yeah," Corrin replied. "You don't think..."

"They know each other?" Link finished. "Most likely."

"Should we ask?" Corrin wondered.

"I mean, it wouldn't hurt, right?" Link said.

A few minutes later, Bianca came back around with their food. "Alright, here you go. Enjoy."

"Thanks, ma'am." Corrin replied.

Bianca raised an eyebrow. "I have a name," She said jokingly. "Please use it."

"Sorry, Bianca." Corrin apologized.

"It's okay." Bianca replied. "I get it a lot."

As Link dug into their pasta, he turned back to Bianca and cleared his throat. "Hey, I know this sounds like a weird question," He began. "But my girlfriend and I were wondering, are you and your sister...robots?"

Bianca's face remained unchanged, but she sighed. "Sort of." She said.

"Sort of?" Corrin repeated.

"Well, the more accurate term would be synthezoid." Bianca clarified. "Essentially, I'm nearly an organic being, except I have metal skin. It's...kinda hard to explain."

"Okay," Link said, nodding. "It makes sense."

"By the way," Bianca continued. "I couldn't help but hear you mention someone named Metal."

"Do you know him?" Corrin asked.

"Well," Bianca responded. "As his girlfriend, I'd hope I knew him. So, how do you guys know him?"

"We're part of the Smash Bros Tournament." Link explained.

"Okay," Bianca said. "I figured that. I also know that Sonic the Hedgehog takes part in the tournament. He's one of my closest friends. So I'm guessing he's talked about his brother a lot."

"Actually," Corrin cut in. "Metal's been invited to the tournament."

The clown girl's eyes widened. "Could you...please describe him to me?"

"About your height." Link began. "Navy blue hair, green eyes, sort of metallic skin."

"Yeah," Bianca said, as if her mind was wandering. "Yeah...That's him."

"Uhh," Corrin asked. "Are you...okay?"

Bianca didn't answer right away. Then, "Could...Could you tell him something for me?"

"Sure," Link said, taking another bite. "What is it?"

"Tell him..."Bianca said sternly. "Tell him that he needs to come talk to me."


Dinner in the Mansion that night was a mishmash of things. Samus had picked out the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, where as Zelda had taken some sort of traditional Hylian dish.

"You certainly seem to be in a better mood, Samus." Bayonetta said. "Do you think you can get through this meal without blowing something up?"

"Yeah." Samus replied. "I think I'll be fine."

"That's wonderful, dear." Bayonetta grinned, sipping her tea. "It's better for your health, anyway."

"You're starting to sound like Wanda," Zelda joked.

"I'm free to worry about the well-being of my family if I feel the need to." Bayonetta replied. "You two are very much like sisters to me."

"Aww, that's sweet." Samus smiled, wrapping an arm around the Umbra Witch's shoulder. "We love you too, Bayonetta."

"Almost as much as we love each other, of course." Zelda chimed in.

"Naturally," Bayonetta replied, placing a sisterly kiss on Samus' cheek. "By the way, where's your little angel?"

Zelda pointed over to one of the other tables, where Rinka was sitting with the Inklings, Ice Climbers, and Bowser Jr.

"She's already making friends." Bayonetta observed.

"Yeah," Zelda said. "I raised her to be kind and polite."

"Of course," The Umbra Witch agreed. "Highly valued traits in a future queen. Which reminds me, Corrin and I were speaking earlier about what will happen once the tournament ends."

"But the tournament hasn't even started yet." Samus argued.

"True," Bayonetta replied. "But she mentioned that this may be the last official tournament. Which could mean that we may never see each other after this."

The two other women's eyes widened. "I will never forgive those two hands if I can't see my wife again. Or my daughter." She wrapped her arms around Zelda protectively.

"Corrin and I agreed that we'd take it up with them soon." Bayonetta explained.

"Hopefully we can negotiate something with them." Zelda said.

At that moment, Samus noticed Ridley walking over from the buffet area back to the villains' table, where Bowser, Wolf, Wario, and Ganondorf were sitting. He had a whole roast turkey in his claws, and he was munching away at it with little regard for table manners. A wide grin lit the huntress' face.

"What are you planning, love?" Zelda asked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Samus denied.

"A likely story," Bayonetta replied. "I know that look. You're planning something mischievous."

"Is it really that obvious?" Samus asked innocently.

"Yes." Zelda and Bayonetta replied simultaneously.

"You wanna know that badly?" Samus asked, before turning to Kirby. "You know what to do, buddy."

Kirby smiled, before hopping off the table. Samus turned to her wife and her surrogate sister. "Watch and learn." She said.

Kirby bounded over to Ridley and latched himself to the space pirate's leg. "Poyo!" He chirped. Ridley froze, and his eyes widened when he looked down and saw Kirby. The baby star warrior looked back up at him with a wide smile. "Hiii!"

"AHHHHH!" Ridley shrieked. "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!" He shook his leg, desperately trying to pry the little guy off. Then he remembered where he was. He looked around, as if only just realizing that he just made a fool ofhimself in front of everyone in the mansion.

Nobody moved as they took in the sight of the most violent being in the mansion cowering in fear of arguably the cutest resident of the mansion. Ridley's eyes narrowed. "I do not want to hear a sound out of any of you." He seethed. "One word of this, and I will burn you all, and this mansion, to the f(honk)ing ground!"

Even as he said this, he could see that many of the residents were fighting their hardest not to laugh. A tear leaked from Knuckles' eye, Toon Link's face started turning red, and Metal's hands dug into the wooden table, all in an effort not to crack. Then he and Sonic made the mistake of looking at each other.

And the gates burst.

Metal was the first to break, gasping out a long wheeze, followed by King Dedede, who spat out his soda. And everyone else, excluding the Meta Knight clone (and Bowser, for some reason) burst out laughing.

The penguin King of dreamland started heaving with laughter, and fell out of his seat. He started rolling on the floor, clutching his sides as he kept on laughing. Donkey Kong slammed his fist on his table, while Diddy buried his face in the table. Wario, who had been eating a grilled cheese and onion sandwich, started choking and gagging on said sandwich.

"I can't breathe!" Metal wheezed, even though he technically didn't need to breathe.

"I can't see!" Dedede replied, tears leaking from his eyes as he continued to squirm on the floor.

Samus clutched at her sides, but as she had already known of Ridley's fear, she wasn't laughing quite as hard. Bayonetta, who'd been in the middle of sipping her tea when Kirby "attacked" Ridley, spat her tea out in a very unladylike manner. "Oh dear," Bayonetta managed, setting her cup down as she started laughing.

At his table, Mewtwo, who also wasn't completely hysterical, smirked. "Kirby's..." He began, fighting back snickers. "Kirby's a fairy type, confirmed." The residents near him started laughing even harder.

This continued on for several minutes, with Ridley still standing in the same place. Kirby was still latched on to the space pirate's leg, smiling. Then, Corrin and Link entered the room.

"What in the hell did we walk into?" Link asked, perplexed. Cloud and Shulk just kept on laughing.

"I can't..." Jake choked out. "I can't breathe. Help me."

"I think...I think I'm gonna pass out." Megan wheezed.

"It wasn't that funny." Wolf said, even though he was also chuckling. "Please don't pass out."

"Hang on," Link asked. "What happened?"

"Yeah," Corrin added. "What did we miss?"

Shulk, still shaking with laughter, turned towards the couple. "Mate," He sputtered. "Have a...have a lookit that." He pointed at Ridley, who was simply standing their with an unimpressed look on his face. Kirby was still latched firmly to his leg.

Link smirked as he put two and two together. "Oh, goddesses." He said. From Sonic's table, Metal uttered a sound that could only be described as a goose getting choked, which made those around him laugh even harder.

Corrin started chuckling. "Wait, wait, wait." She said. "Are you telling me that Ridley, the most vicious, relentless, heartless monster this tournament has ever known, is afraid of Kirby? Are you freaking serious?" She burst out laughing.

Metal's infamous wheeze echoed through the room again, and the other residents kept on laughing harder. Finally, Ridley decided he was fed up with this crap, and forced himself to grab Kirby and throw him as far as the murderous beast could, before storming towards Samus.

"The deal is off, Aran!" He roared. "Enjoy the time you have with your family while it lasts, because the second I get the chance, I will kill both of them while you watch!"

"Ah, ah, Ridleyson." Samus replied, wagging a finger at him. "I technically never told anyone. They kinda figured it out on their own. Which means, the deal can't be broken."

"That means nothing." Ridley snarled. Then he slashed his tail across her table, and stormed off, huffing under his breath.

Metal glanced over at Dedede, who was still shaking on the floor, gasping for breath. "Oh, geez!" The synthetic human gasped, rushing over to the fallen king. "He's dying! CPR, CPR, does anyone here know CPR?"

"I'm fine," Dedede managed, pulling himself to his feet. "Hoo-wee, that was the best thing I've seen in forever."

"I'm crying, holy cow." Knuckles gasped, wiping a tear from his face.

"Dude, my jaw hurts from laughing so hard." Sonic added, clutching his stomach.

"Mate, we're all gonna have six packs tomorrow morning." Shulk sputtered.

Bayonetta, who'd managed to catch Kirby out of the air, snuggled her adopted son closer to her. "Oh, my little star baby." She chuckled, kissing the top of his head. The pink puff seemed distraught that Ridley didn't want to be his friend. "I guess some hearts just can't be melted."

"Oh, his heart is a rotten husk." Samus added, half-seriously. She wiped some tears away.

"So," Zelda said, as she regained most of her composure. "You already knew?"

"Yeah," Samus admitted, grinning. "After I spoke with the hands, I gave Ridley a warning about staying away from you and Rinka. Then Kirby showed up, and Ridley launched himself up to the ceiling. So we made a deal. I wouldn't leak his secret to everyone, and he would stay away from you two. But I really couldn't let this opportunity pass me by."

"You're evil." Zelda said.

"Yeah, you still love me, babe." Samus replied.

"Always, honey." Zelda added.

"Well," Bayonetta said, clapping slowly. "I hope you are proud of yourself, love."

"Every day of my life." Samus replied confidently, before turning to Zelda. "Shall we, my love?"

Zelda chuckled. "We shall." She replied. Samus scooped her up in her arms, bridal style.

"Leaving already, dears?" Bayonetta asked, smiling.

"I haven't seen her in ages." Samus said. "She hasn't seen me in ages. You do the math, Bayo."

"I got it." The Umbra Witch replied happily. "Would you like me to tuck Rinka in for you two?"

Zelda nodded. "That would be nice, Bayonetta."

"Cereza." Bayonetta corrected.

Samus turned around, careful not to accidentally smack Zelda's head against one of the tables. "What's that?"

"You two are like sisters to me." The Umbra Witch explained. "Cereza is my real name."

"Okay, then." Samus said. "See you tomorrow, Cereza."

As they walked off. Kirby looked up to his momma in confusion. "Poyo?" He wondered.

Bayonetta simply smiled. "I'll tell you when you're older, dear."

A/N: So there you have it. I'm sure it's obvious that Wanda refers to the Wii Fit Trainer. I was originally going to add a scene where Bowser explains why he wasn't laughing along with everyone else. Also, I will get around to explaining why I keep saying "Meta Knight Clone," but that will wait a few chapters.

So, next chapter, Metal learns about his girlfriend's whereabouts, Bowser talks with the other villains, and Rinka bonds with the Inklings.

Until then, please read, review, favorite, and follow, and I'll see you all next time. Peace out, and may the Force be with you. Always.
