Ray and Toon Link were playing checkers in the commons.
"Aaaaaaand...Checkmate!" Ray gave a smug look.
"You cheated, you cheater! I totally had that game!"
"If by 'totally had' you mean 'definitely lost' then sure, I'll humor you." The young hero pouted. "It's not fair, you always win at checkers!"
"You just have to think ahead, my good sir." Ray leapt off of his seat and prepared to go back to his room. "Ray, WAIT!"
"Huh?" Toon Link grabbed Ray's hand. "Let's spar!"
Ray's hesitated. "Uhh, how about no? I'm not a good fighter, trust me-" Tink hadn't let Ray finish his sentence before he was pulling him off to the training ground.
Meanwhile, trouble was brewing elsewhere in the mansion...
Chrom paced back and forth, clearly upset. Lucina, his daughter, sat on the edge of the bed, clearly distressed.
"And you say you love this man?"
She cupped her hands together. "Yes, Father! I'm endeared by him; I love him with all of my heart!"
Chrom facepalmed. "He's not even a Fire Emblem character! You are not going to marry someone of his caliber under my eye!"
Chrom got out his sword. "If I see you ANYWHERE near him, so help me, I'll-"
"Yes, dad! Okay! I won't see him anymore..." Chrom sheathed his sword, and softened his look. "Listen, Lucina. I just don't want you to be hurt. You're better off with your own kind. Corrin's a nice man."
"But I don't LOVE him, dad!" She got up forcefully and stormed off. Chrom sighed. "I really wish her mother were still here, she'd know what to do..."
Lucina was crying in the garden, when she heard footsteps approach her.
"Lucina, my dear," A man with white curly hair spoke, "What trouble is ailing you?"
"Didn't I tell you not to talk to me? Get out of here, Corrin!" Corrin pretended to be hurt by her words. "My fair maiden..." He stooped down, and grabbed her hand.
Lucina pulled it away. "Don't think you own me just because my father is forcing us to marry! I promise, I WILL find a way out of this and marry my true love..." She daydreamed about Shulk.
Corrin's face twisted in disgust. "Him!? What does he have that I don't!?"
"Actual decency." Lucina stuck out her tongue, and Corrin went red with anger. "I'll have your hand in marriage by force if I must! You are mine, and mine ONLY!" He walked off back into the mansion.
Lucina resumed her crying, which attracted Ray.
"What's that sound...ow, this black eye is killing me..." Toon Link had done a number to Ray; when he said he didn't really know how to fight, he was right.
Ray poked Lucina with a finger. "Hey, lady! What's wrong?"
She looked up, her eyes puffy. "Hmm? Oh, it's you!" She pulled him into a hug and muffled him into her chest, resuming to cry.
"Hmm Luphina? I phan't brefth." Ray wiggled out. "What's wrong!? I haven't seen you cry this much since you thought Shulk broke up with you."
"My father is forcing me to marry this jerk!" She pointed towards Corrin, who was staring at them both in the window. He did a 'I'm watching you' gesture before sinking from sight.
"Umm...okay. So what's the problem?"
"Are you dense!? I don't want to marry him! He has no regards for me whatsoever!" She sighed. "Shulk's allowed nowhere near me, otherwise my father's going to do something bad to him."
Ray had no idea how to approach the situation, he had no idea how love worked, in all honesty.
A pink-haired girl with ponytails entered the garden. "Hi, Lucina!" She noticed her friends tears. "Oh my! What's wrong!?"
"Hey, Robin..." She sniffed. "It's nothing..."
Robin sat next to her friend, clearly concerned. "Clearly it's something, you don't come to the garden unless you're really upset!"
She spilled. "I can't marry Shulk! My dad's forcing me to marry Corrin! I don't want to marry him!" She bawled in her friend's shoulder.
Robin couldn't help but sigh a little, she actually liked Corrin. She consoled her friend. "There, there."
Ray opened his mouth to speak, but Toon Link suddenly showed up and started to speak. "Why don't you both just run away? I'm sure your dad won't notice if you do it, like, now or something."
Lucina's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea! I'll get Shulk right away!" Lucina grabbed Robin's hand, and the two sped off.
Ray gave Tink a look. "What? I was just helping."
"Running away never works! I should know, I've tried it before!"
Tink paused, realized what he said, and regretted it. "Suddenly, I don't feel so good…"
"Come on!" Ray grabbed his hand. "We have to stop them before they leave!"
SD? Smash Domain?
Yeah!
Come on, Gera Gera Po, Gera Gera Po! (Yeah!)
Gera Gera Po, Gera Gera Po! (Come on!)
Ahem, so sit back, here's their story!
RAY, say hey yo no!
Sasuma, go cracka-lacka boom boom!
We got hit by comet and got kicked outta there, so now we're stuck here! UH OH!
But hey, don't worry! Don't feel bad! There's a lot of friendly faces here!
All this Gera Po, come on yo! See what we can see!
Oh my lost home, where did it go, lost in the endless void...
People from this town, they have family, where will they stay now?
Doomed to roam in space forever, lost in a trance...
Hey now! Gera Gera Po! Gera Gera Po! (Yeah!)
Gera Gera Po, Gera Gera Po! (It's easy, come on!)
People from SD...are weird, indeed!
So you should Come Along! And SD...SD With Me!
Gera Gera Po, Gera Gera Po! (Yeah!)
Lord, what fools these mortals be! A Midwinter Day's Nightmare!
Somewhere else in the mansion, Wario, Luigi, Waluigi, and Roy (Smash) were trying to get a play together.
"Are you guys stupid!? That stage prop looks atrocious! Start over from scratch!"
"But WAHrio!" Waluigi dropped the prop on the ground in protest. "We spent all morning on that! WAHy are we even doing this anyway!?"
"A play is a surefire way to earn some dough! If we do this right, people will be throwing money at us and begging for more!"
Wario suddenly grew sentimental. "Back during the days of my prime, I was once an actor…"
Luigi deadpanned, "Are you sure a person like you could be an actor?"
"Shut up! At least I had a stable career back then! The most you've ever done is unclog toilets!"
"And save princesses." Wario threw a shoe at Luigi.
Getting back on task, Wario cleared his throat. "Now, what kind of play do we want to show? I was thinking a comedy!"
"WAHngst," Waluigi put up a finger. "When your audience cries, you know you've done a good job."
Luigi opened his mouth to suggest something, but closed it when Wario shot him a dirty look.
Roy (Smash) raised his hand. "Why not a historical play? We could do one on the greatest figure in all of world history."
Wario's eyes lit up. "Yes, great idea! We'll make a play...about ME!" Everyone's jaws dropped.
"When I said 'greatest figure' I didn't exactly have YOU in mind." Wario grunted. "This is going to sell out quick! We'll make the greatest play of all time, and it'll be about my life!"
Wario left, laughing, leaving Luigi, Walugi, and Roy (Smash) alone. "Oh brother..."
Deep in the forest, which just so happened to be a magic forest, conveniently placed right next to the mansion that no one knew existed, a young fairy was zipping through.
"I'm gonna be late to the meeting! I'm gonna be late for the greeting! I'm gonna miss all of the eating!"
He was actually just in time. "Ah, just in time!" He pulled up a chair made out of vines and sat alongside the rest of the Fairy Council.
"Gait, you're late, again." Gait drew a finger on the table. "I apologize. My alarm wasn't set!"
The King of all Fairies, Brighton, and the Queen of all Fairies, Twila, were at the head of the Council. "Salutations, everyone. It's time for the annual Meeting of the Fairies." Brighton got out a hammer, and slammed it down, starting the session.
"Now comes the question: How can we better life in the forest?"
Gait raised his hand and spoke out, "We'll need more light! Lots and lots of light, so plants can grow even when it's dark!"
Twila rolled her eyes. "Plants still grow when it's dark, just a lot slower. Nighttime isn't so bad, you know."
Brighton turned to his wife. "I don't know, you can't really see at night. And, that's when all the bugs come out."
"Well, in the day, it's either too hot or too cold."
"It's ALWAYS cold at night!"
Twila was beginning to lose her temper. "In the day you can SEE the BAD things HAPPEN!"
The fairies began to duck under their seats, watching in terror at was unfolding.
"At night is when ALL bad things happen! Deaths, murders, oh the horror..."
"Day's too bright!"
"Night's too dark!"
"That's IT!" Twila stormed off, tired of her husband.
"Wow, wonder what she's all sore about." Brighton huffed. He turned to Gait. "Gait, go make sure she's alright."
Gait saluted. "Yessir!" Brighton shushed him. "Not so loud! You don't want her to hear you!"
"Oh whoops! I mean, yessir!" He said a bit quieter. He silently followed the queen.
The King turned back to his subjects. "Umm...meeting adjourned."
"Look, I don't love you! So back off!"
Corrin was being nagged and bothered by the advances of Robin. "You attract me to you, like a cruel magnet!"
"How many times do I have to tell you!? Quit following me!" Corrin began to walk faster, and Robin did all the more to keep up with him.
"I'm your little dog, Corrin. The Juliet to your Romeo, the Sleeping beauty to your Prince Charming, the Tom to your Jerry-"
Corrin gave her a weird look. "Tom and Jerry are dating?"
"I wouldn't be surprised." She got down on her knees. "Please, PLEASE give me a chance! I'll do anything!"
"I think I'll just lie to you and leave you for the wild animals." He said extremely loudly so that she could hear. "Oh, jeez, look over there! A spaceship!"
Robin looked. "Huh!?" Corrin made his getaway.
"I said it out loud and she STILL fell for it." He snickered as he ran as far away as he could from Robin.
Robin sniffled. "He really, really hates me…" Instead of sitting to cry, though, she got up, more determined than ever.
"I WILL have his hand in love before the end of today! Just you wait, Corrin...I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth…."
Meanwhile in another part of the forest, Brighton and the little fairy Gait were plotting.
"She's really gonna pay for this….Gait! Do you have the flower!?"
Gait got out a purple flower. "Check, my king!"
"Excellent...she will rue the day she called night better than day! Listen, drop the juice from this flower into her eyelids. It'll make her fall asleep-"
"What good will that do, sir?"
"Shh, I wasn't finished! ...And when she wakes up, she'll fall in love with the first person she sees! It's a foolproof plan! What sweet revenge!"
Gait shrugged, and immediately found Twila among her fairies.
He flew right up to her, the flower in hand, and dropped the flower's juice into her eyes.
"Don't mind me, just dropping poison into our Queen's eyes. Carry on." The Fairies gave Gait a weird look.
The Queen tried to protest, but she quickly fell off to a deep sleep. "Just as planned! Thanks guys, I'll be on my way now."
The others were left dumbfounded as Gait quickly disappeared back into the shadows.
Ray and Toon Link were quickly running after Lucina and Shulk, determined to stop the two before this episode got too long.
"Guys, STOP! Wait!" Shulk and Lucina turned around.
The blonde asked, "What's up, guys?"
Ray, out of breath, held up a finger. "Phew...just in time…"
"You can't run away!" Lucina and Shulk gave weird looks to the children. "Why not?"
"Because, if this plays out like I THINK it is...and I know my Shakespeare…" Ray got out a book and a pair of reading glasses, and perked up when he found what he was looking for.
"Ah-hah! Right here! Your relationship will be thrown into turmoil! There's no telling what could happen in that forest!"
The couple erupted into laughter. "That's ludicrous! There's no way that'll happen to us! Remember, this is real life." Lucina bopped Ray on the nose. "Not fantasy!"
"No, you don't under-" They left before he could finish his sentence. "...stand."
Ray looked to Toon Link and gulped. "As much as I don't want to, I have to go in and stop them! Are you with me?"
Toon Link was halfway back to the mansion. "HEY! YOU'RE STICKING WITH ME WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT!"
"Well I don't!" Ray extended a hand and grabbed Toon Link, dragging him along.
"How on Earth did you do that!?"
"Cartoon Physics."
On the other side of the mansion, Robin had caught up to Corrin and began pestering him again.
"Please, Corrin! Let me have your hand in marriage!"
"As if! Isn't the man supposed to propose to the girl? And more importantly, I DON'T LOVE YOU!"
Robin cried, "Please, please!" She suddenly got an idea.
"If I tell him about what Lucina and Shulk are doing...yes! He'll go after them, and then he'll owe me his love for sure…"
Robin yelled out loud, "WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT LUCINA AND SHULK ARE PLANNING ON RUNNING AWAY!?"
Corrin's interest peaked. "Oh? Go on."
Shulk and Lucina had arrived in a clearing. "I think we should rest here for the night, love."
"Phew. What a day…" Lucina sighed. "I can't believe we're really doing this."
"I can't either, but hey! We'll be together." Shulk looked toward Lucina's eyes.
"Thanks, Shulk…" Lucina fell asleep, and Shulk did likewise.
Close to them, Gait flew towards the snoozing couple. "Huh? What're those humans doing in the forest? At this time of night?" He eyed Shulk.
"You know, the King told me before I left…"
"Oh, and if you see some weirdo with blonde hair, he broke some girl's heart. Give him the ol' one two, if you know what I mean."
"That must be him! Wow, the nerve of some people, that poor girl!" Gait dropped flower juice in Shulk's eyes. "This ought to teach him a lesson."
The fairy flew off, just as Corrin and Robin came into view.
"Come back, Corrin! I helped you! You owe me!"
"I owe you squat! Get away from me! Why haven't I filed a restraining order against you yet…?"
Corrin outran her, and left her alone, out of breath. "Wait...please...come back…."
She sighed, slumping down onto a tree. "I lost him again...why won't he love me!?"
Robin turned to cry, but instead saw a sleeping Shulk. "Huh? Oh, I guess him and Robin took a break for the night. Though, best to make sure…"
She knocked him on the head. "If you're alive, Shulk, wake up!"
He stirred, and the first thing his eyes saw was Robin. "Do my eyes deceive me?"
"Your eyes do what now?" Robin looked side to side, and pointed to herself. "Huh?"
"You are the fairest looking maiden I have ever laid my eyes upon!"
"Woah, woah, woah! Aren't you supposed to be Lucina's boyfriend?"
Shulk scoffed. "Lucina? Forget her! I only love Robin." Robin fumed, and turned red.
"Oh, I see how it is! Make fun of the odd-looking tactician lady! The insults haven't been this bad since everyone found out my brother and Cloud were dating!" She stood up. "I'm out of here!"
Shulk raised a hand to go after her, but ultimately didn't.
Ray and Toon Link came into view. "Weren't we like? Important to this episode at one point?"
"Eh, I think we're just here to play the straight men now. Hey, look! It's Corrin! Way, way over there!"
They followed the white hair...but it was actually a mop. It was on Luigi's head.
"Luigi? What the heck are you doing here in this forest at this time of night?"
"I could ask you the same thing…" He sighed. "Wario wants us to do this play, see…"
Wario yelled out, "Luigi! Look alive! It's time to start rehearsal!"
"Yeah, yeah, ok…" Luigi turned back to Ray and Toon Link. "Listen, I can't talk now! I'm...a little busy at the moment…" The boys shrugged.
Wario smiled, and talked to his crew. "This'll be the greatest play yet! It'll be called...Pyramid and Frisbee."
"But I thought this play was going to be about you…."
"It will be! But I don't want my audience to know that!"
Roy (Smash) folded his arms. "Then aren't you lying to the audience by not telling them straight up that it's about you?"
"Hush! Who cares about what they think!? They'll waste money on tickets for this if they believe it ain't about me!"
Wario got a newspaper out. "Now, you guys work on props. I'll be back, I must go to the little boy's room!" He scampered off.
"Sheesh, what a cheat…" Ray rolled his eyes.
Roy (Smash) sighed. "He's been working our butts off since he had this stupid idea...why'd we even agree to this!?"
"Because we love WAHrio?"
"I sure don't! He's mean, and cheap, and rude…..and mean." Luigi looked away.
Speaking of, Wario came back. Except...something was different.
"Umm, Wario?" Wario seemed completely unaware his head had transformed into that of a donkey.
"What? If you're looking at my handsome face, back off! This is the appearance of a true god!" He posed. Ray, Toon Link, Roy, and Luigi could barely hold their laughter.
"What a handsome stranger!" Someone came from the bushes. It was the Queen!
"Uh...wha?" Love potion. "Ah."
"I'm glad someone appreciates my excellent physique." Wario flexed. The Queen was absolutely swooned by him.
"You have GOT to be kidding me."
Gait, followed by four other fairies, came onto the scene. "Woah, woah, WOAH! What is going on here!?" Love potion. "Ah."
"Gait, my dear. You and the other fairies fetch my love some of the ripest fruit in the forest. I must satisfy his hunger."
"Y-Yes, m'lady…" Gait took a good look at Wario and cringed. "I feel extremely queasy all of a sudden…"
The fairy went on his way, when he was suddenly grabbed out of the air.
"Gait! How goes the operation!?"
"King! Uhh...she fell in love all right." The King fist bumped in the air. "Mission accomplished! Who did she fall in love with?"
Gait gulped. "A buffoon from the Smash Mansion, sir." Brighton did a little dance in place. "This is going even better than I expected!"
The King remembered something else. "Oh, did you happen to see that other jerk from the Smash Mansion? You put juice in his eyes, right?"
"Yessir. I found him asleep and did exactly what you asked."
The two of them heard footsteps. "Shh, quick! I think some of those guys are coming now!" They disappeared out of view.
"Why are you so rude to me, Lucina!? Don't you know how much I love and adore you?"
Lucina huffed. "Away from me, Corrin! Shulk's gone, so I'm clearly not in the best of moods right now."
The Dragon Prince sighed. "Alas. Even when confronted by her true love she still rejects him. I'm quite sorrowful."
"Put a sock in it! I DON'T LOVE YOU!"
Corrin huffed. "Maybe you'd treat me better if I told you where Shulk is."
Lucina's eyes lit up. "Shulk!? Where is he!? I haven't seem him since last night! Please, Corrin, won't you find him for me!?"
"I'd rather feed my corpse to the dogs."
"Ugh, you villain! Did you kill him then!? That's sure sounds like something a rat like you would do!"
Corrin folded his arms in protest. "Misunderstood much? I obviously didn't kill him! As far as I know, he's not even dead…"
"Then please, tell me if he's alright."
He smirked. "And just what would I get out of it, huh?"
"The privilege of never seeing me again. Now, I will bid you adieu, sir." Lucina flipped around in a rage, and went deeper into the forest.
Corrin pouted. "Clearly she's upset. I suppose I mustn't dwell on it...sadness only gets worse if you're awake, so I might as well sleep."
Brighton and Gait saw the whole thing.
"Gait."
"Yes, my lord?"
"I don't think that was the right guy."
"Me neither, my lord."
The King pulled down on his face. "Gaaaaait! You idiot! You got the WRONG PERSON!"
"You should have been more specific! I was only following orders!"
"How am I going to fix this…." Suddenly, he got an idea. "Gait! Bring the one known as Robin here, I'm fairly certain she's also from the Smash Mansion. We'll drop the juice onto the sleeping boy's eyes, and then we'll have at least one problem out of the way!"
Gait hovered up. "I'll go! Faster than an arrow from Pit's bow!"
The fairy zipped off, and the King got the flower in his hand. "And…" He dropped the juice onto Corrin's eyes. "Bingo."
Instantly, Gait was back. "That didn't take long at all sir! Robin is nearby! Shulk seems to be there, too…"
"Shh, quiet down! You'll wake up Corrin."
Shulk and Robin came into the clearing.
"Why do you reject me even as I am repeatedly telling you that I love you!?"
"Because it's just not right! You're Lucina's boyfriend, not mine! You've already promised your love to her!"
Shulk scoffed, "Well I clearly wasn't thinking right when I made those promises."
"And I certainly don't think you're thinking clearly now, considering you're BREAKING THOSE PROMISES!"
He stuck his tongue out. "Corrin loves her, and he doesn't love you."
At that moment, Corrin woke up, and saw Robin. "Oh, do my eyes deceive me!? An angel upon this sinning Earth!?"
"What the HECK is going on here!?"
Ray and Toon Link just so happened to enter at that moment. "Uhh...what's going on here?"
The King dragged them into the bushes with him and Gait. "Shh. Love is about to happen."
"Don't be so cruel, Corrin! I came to her first! I know you love Lucina, so I am giving up my claims on her and passing her to you!"
Robin sniffled. "No one's ever gone through so much trouble just to humiliate me…"
"Puh-LEASE, Shulk! You keep Lucina. I don't want her. Even if I did love her before, all that love is gone now. I'll love Robin forever now."
Shulk turned to Robin. "It isn't true, don't listen to him!"
"Don't insult me, you cad! Don't you dare insult deep love you can't understand." He turned to his right. "There goes the woman you love now. Why don't you pledge your allegiance to her?"
Lucina entered, and her jaw practically dropped. "Sh-Shulk? Why do you have Robin cradled in your arms!?"
"Why are you here, Lucina? I had to hurry to my love, the beautiful Robin. Why are you here, even though you know I hate you?"
Ray could practically hear Lucina's heart break into pieces. He turned to the King. "What did you do?"
"Uhh...maybe messed a little with their little love triangle?" Ray facepalmed.
"You can't mean what you're saying, Shulk. It's impossible!"
Robin leaped out of Shulk's arms, her face red. She got up in Lucina's face. "Oh, so you're in on this little 'joke' too!? Well it's not funny! Have you forgotten that we're best friends!?"
"I'm just as dumbfounded as you are, Robin! I'm not insulting you, it sounds more like you're insulting me!"
"Confess! Didn't you send Shulk to praise me as an insult!? To highlight how ugly I am and embarrass me!?" She started to cry.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
She folded her arms. "Fine! Keep up your little game, then nudge and wink behind my back. I hope you get a kick out of this!"
Shulk pulled on Robin's arm. "Stay, lovely Robin! My love, my life!"
Lucina glared. "Don't insult her like that, Shulk!"
Corrin pulled on Robin's other arm, and shot a look at Shulk. "If you won't listen to your girlfriend, then I'll certainly make you!"
Shulk pulled harder. "You can't force me any more than Lucina can! Your threats are no longer threatening."
"I love you, Robin!" Corrin pulled even harder.
"No, I love you!"
Sparks practically flew between both men's eyes. "I say I love you more than he does!"
"Fine, if that's what you say, let us duel and prove it!"
"You're on!"
Lucina tried to hold Shulk back. "Shulk, what do you think you're doing!?"
The blonde turned to Lucina. "Get away from me!"
"You'd better listen to her, Shulk! I'll surely make you pay!"
Shulk struggled. "Stop hanging on to me, you cat! You thorn! Let go of me before I shake you off like a snake!"
Ray gulped. "Okay, do we need to intervene!?"
Toon Link looked on to the fight that was happening before them. "Naaah. They're good. Just sit back and enjoy the show."
Now Lucina started to cry. "Do you really hate me that much, Shulk!? What's happened to you? Am I not Lucina? Aren't you Shulk? So you really never loved me in the first place…"
"I certainly didn't, and I never wanted to see you again."
Lucina's tears turned to anger, and she turned to Robin. "You! What did you do to Shulk as he was sleeping!?"
"Me!? Oh, that's rich! Coming from the person that set this whole thing up in the first place!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Lucina lunged towards Robin, but was stopped by Shulk and Corrin.
"I'll defend you my fair maiden."
Robin smirked, and decided to play along. "Oh, I'm so scared! Please, defend me from that witch! I'm shorter and weaker and more frail than she!"
"SHORTER!?" Lucina practically blew a fuse.
"Yes! Get lost, you scrape! You morsel! You acorn! You tiny little weed, you insignificant petty dwarf!"
Ray rolled his eyes. "How many more insults do ya need?"
Corrin glared at Shulk. "You're doing far too much to defend a woman you don't even love! Robin has nothing to do with this. Leave her alone!"
"We'll settle this, Corrin! Follow me if you dare to compete for Robin's love!"
The two men kept glaring at each other as they left, leaving Lucina and Robin by their lonesome.
"All this fighting is because of you! I hope you're happy!"
"I'm not sticking around here anymore. I don't trust you."
Robin stuck up her head and left. Lucina got up to leave too, but not before saying, "I just don't understand any of this. What happened?"
Ray, Toon Link, Gait, and Brighton came out of hiding. "Gait! This is all your fault! What sort of sick fun do you get out of this!?"
Gait stuck up his hands in defense. "Me!? You told me to go after 'that jerk from the Smash Mansion'. How was I supposed to know which one!?" He snickered. "If I must admit, though, I find all of this commotion quite entertaining."
"Same here!" Toon Link high fived Gait, prompting Ray to rub his temples.
"So, King Brighton." Ray turned to the bumbling ruler. "Any bright ideas on how to fix this?"
"Well, as you can see, those lovers are looking for a place to fight. Gait!" He turned to his fairy. "Hurry, use your magic and make the area dark, dark enough so they can't see."
He reached into his pocket and got out a new flower. "When they're exhausted from swinging at nothing, drop the juice from this flower into Shulk's eyes. It'll fix this whole mess completely! He'll be able to see normally again, and when all four of them wake up, this event will seem like a distant nightmare…"
"A Midwinter Day's Nightmare?"
Ray swatted Toon Link's forehead. "No title dropping. Bad, Toon Link, bad."
"While you're busy with that...I guess I'll go make up with Queen Twila. Night's not so bad after all, I suppose."
He sighed. "Soon, everything will be peaceful again…"
Gait flew up. "We must act fast, then! Night's dwindling away, and there isn't enough time left!" The fairy turned to Ray and Toon Link. "You two! Come with me!"
"If you insist…" The three rushed off to fix the problem at hand.
"Up and down and up and down,
I will lead them up and down!
I am feared in field and town,
Goblin, lead them up and down!
Oh, oh! Here comes one now!"
"Could you stop singing?"
"Sorry, sometimes I can't help myself! But someone's coming!" They leapt into the bushes.
"Where are you, Corrin!? Come out, you coward!"
Gait cleared his throat, and said in Corrin's voice, "I'm over here, you jerk, with the Yato and ready to fight. Where are you?"
"I'm coming!"
Gait continued, "Let us go to a flatter area where we can fight more easily."
Shulk groaned in anger. "Why is he leading me? Corrin! Show yourself! Why do you insist on hiding!"
"Over here, over here!"
"Ugh...darn you, Corrin…" Shulk felt himself getting weaker. "I'll rest here and wait on him. He can take his time." The blonde fell off to sleep.
"One down, and three to go!" Gait turned to Ray and Toon Link. "It's up to you both now."
"Come on, Toon!"
Down the foggy path, Corrin was fighting to see his way. "Why is it so dark all of a sudden!? Shulk, if this is a trap, I swear-"
He saw a light...no, a fire in the distance. It swayed back and forth. "Shulk, is this some kind of trick! I'll kill you where you stand!"
Corrin lunged for it, but it flew out of his reach. "Grrr…."
He kept leaping for it, but it was always one step ahead and pulled more and more back.
"Curse you...fine, when you decide to fight like a man, I'll wake up, and we'll duel!" He eyed a stump. "But for now…" Corrin fell off to sleep as well.
The fire revealed itself to be Ray with the Fire Ability, attached to Toon Link's hookshot. "Nice!"
A little ways from them, Robin was panting. "Oh, what a long and tedious night! I'm so tired...I wish this would end already!" She found a patch of grass. "I'll rest here for now, hopefully it'll be over in the morning…" She fell off to sleep.
Gait scanned the area. "Only three so far? We're still waiting for one more. Two of both makes four!" The fairy spotted Lucina. "Ah, there she is! Angry and sad. Oh, Cupid's such a bad boy for making these poor women go crazy like this!"
"Cupid? Isn't this your fault?" Gait folded his arms. "Let me have my fun!"
The woman was catching her breath. "I've never been more exhausted or upset. Sigh...I'll sleep here until morning. Maybe this entire thing will blow over by then…" She looked up. "I do hope if they fight, Shulk will be alright!" Lucina fell to sleep.
"Alright, all done! Bring them to the clearing!" Ray and Toon Link grabbed Corrin and Shulk, while Gait used his magic to get Lucina and Robin. They dropped them around each other in a circle.
"Now…" The fairy got out the flower and dropped the juice on Shulk's eyelids. "When you wake up, you'll be truly delighted to see the woman you love. And all will be right with the world."
"I'm glad this is over…" Ray turned to Toon Link. "Wait, aren't we forgetting something?"
Toon thought for a moment. "Oh! Wario!"
"That's right!" Ray turned to Gait. "You have to change Wario back to normal! I mean...you could leave him be...would be an improvement, honestly…"
"As commanded, I shall!" Gait zipped off again, leaving the two boys.
"So...what now?"
"I guess we wait until these guys wake up."
Roy, Luigi, and Waluigi were watching Wario be made a fool out of by the fairies.
"Isn't he aware of what's happening to him? I mean, seriously."
One fairy was stuck in Wario's nose. "HELP, HELP!" The other three pulled him out, and he shivered.
"Oh, yes, my Queen Twila. Fetch me more grapes, if you please."
"Yes, my love. Oh, fairies!" The four fairies turned their heads slowly, scared looks on their faces.
"WAIT, WAIT!" Gait came just in time. "My lady, if you'd allow me…"
"What? Gait, how did you-" He hit the Queen with a sleeping powder. "I've gotta fix this up too."
Gait hit Wario on the head with a frying pan. "You know, that was oddly satisfying. Now." He used his magic to turn Wario back to normal, and dropped the other flower's juice onto the Queen's eyelids.
"Finally, everything's as it should be. My work here is done." He flew off, and the four fairies sighed with relief.
"...Anyone willing to run by me what just happened?"
"We wrapped up the B-Plot, Roy."
"Ah, okay."
In the other part of the forest, a worried Chrom came looking for his daughter.
"Lucina? LUCINA!"
He eyed her on the ground. "Lucina! No, are you dead!?"
She stirred, and got up. "What….oh….Dad!" She saw her father looking at her with tear-filled eyes. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
"I was so worried about you, Lucina! Where have you been?" He looked to her side, and saw a sleeping Shulk, Corrin, and Robin.
"What on Earth happened here!? More importantly…" He looked down and blushed. "Why are you all naked?"
Lucina turned red and covered herself up. "I-I have no idea! But enough of that!"
The other three stirred. "My, my...what a night…" Robin saw Lucina, and initially frowned, but…"Hmm...maybe all of that was some kind of nightmare."
"Robin! You're okay!" The two girls embraced.
"I had the worst dream, Lucina! We were fighting, and Shulk and Corrin were fighting over me, and-"
"I had the same dream!"
Shulk and Corrin got up. "My head hurts…"
The both saw Chrom, and bowed down immediately. "Ah! Lucina's father!"
"Now, now, you both. There's no need for that."
Chrom scratched his head. "But I thought you both were enemies? You seemed to be sleeping next to each other just fine." Corrin and Shulk looked towards each other.
"You know, I never really understood why. Corrin's actually a pretty cool guy."
"Same to you, Shulk."
Chrom noticed something else. "Corrin? Are you still in love with my Lucina?"
"I apologize, m'lord, but Robin is the one for me. I don't know why I was so mad for her before...I guess something in me changed."
Lucina had a sigh of relief. Were things finally looking up? "I guess I have no choice, then. Shulk, you shall marry my daughter!"
"Thank you, Chrom!" The blonde shook Chrom's hand. "I'll take great care of her!"
"And Robin…" The pink haired tactician looked up. "I wish you and Corrin the best of luck."
"Thank you, Chrom!"
The two couples went, arm and arm...and butt naked, much to the confusion of Chrom, back to the mansion.
"All's well the ends well, am I right?" Well, that's the thing. Remember when I said we needed to hurry before this episode got too long?
"Yeah."
This is the longest one yet.
"RATS!"
Well, at least everyone was happy in the end. I'm sure the King and Queen are happy with themselves now.
"NO WE'RE NOT!" Queen Twila was chasing after King Brighton with a mallet.
"YOU PUT ME TO SLEEP AND MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THAT UGLY MAN!?"
"I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!"
Wario peeked out. "What!? I'm not ugly!"
Well...for the most part.
Cia let out a frustrated yell. "He FAILED! I gave him the ability to enter our world, and he goes and messes up his mission!"
Cyrus put a hand on Cia's shoulder. "There, there. We'll kill Ray another time."
"No, I want him dead NOW! When he finds out we're coming, he'll rat us out for sure! Then the entire mansion will be on our butts!"
"We don't have to kill anyone. Let's just go there at night." Naos suggested.
"Night….hey, that's a good idea! Let's go there at night!"
Cia hit Cyrus in the head. "Now, hold on a second! What makes you think we can just waltz up in there and show ourselves!"
"That's why I said at night. Everyone will be asleep. Then, we can find Link and convince him to join us."
Cia looked away, puffing up her cheeks a little. "I guess you're right…"
Fawful spoke up, "But, what if the Link does not want to join the Super Evil Band of Villains?"
"We are NOT the...whatever you just said! And trust me. He will." Cia saw the Smash Mansion in the distance and smirked. "Heh…"
