Chapter 11: A New Beginning
Two Months Later . . .
I was hanging out in the T.V room with Mario, Link, Toon Link, Kirby, Villager, Peach, Zelda, Brock, Clarabelle, Rosalina and Luma. We were sitting on the couches, taking turns telling stories. Ever since the fire, we've all pitched in until we had a reconstructed T.V room.
"So I said to them," I started. "Why don't you take the salad dressing instead?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
"So that's literally what happened?" Clarabelle asked me.
"I kid you not," I answered.
"I know a guy that said 'I kid you not' all the time," Villager said to us.
"Oh yeah?" I asked. "What was his name?"
"Uh," Villager thought. "I don't remember. But he said it. A lot."
"Oh, that reminds me of something," Brock remembered. "At my audition for Smash, there was this kid behind me who thought I cut in front of him, and he was all like 'No! Don't cut! I'm telling on you!' Then I punched him in the face."
We all laughed again. "Oh," Mario thought. "One time, when-a Luigi, Peach and I were-a visiting Rosalina, I tripped and-a fell off the side of the Observatory!"
We all laughed again. "Seriously?" Toon Link asked.
"Seriously," answered Mario.
"One time," Zelda perked up. "Link was visiting me, and he came riding his horse, Epona, but she jerked to a stop and flew him right off over her head!"
We all laughed again.
"Oh! At the very first Smash," Kirby started. "During our 'Souper Soup' tradition, I spilled some on me," Kirby said. "Now THAT made me run around!"
We all laughed again.
That was when a white gloved hand appeared, but it wasn't Master Hand. He was laughing, and had a different voice. We all stood up in alarm.
"YAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH! HAH!"
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"I," he answered. "Am known as Crazy Hand!"
Master Hand appeared. He gasped. "Crazy? Is that you? What are you doing here? How did you escape the seal?"
"HAH!" Crazy Hand laughed. "You think that seal can seal me? That seal was nothing but mere, uh, plastic tape, and stuff. You see, I just played with it, and ripped it, and, uh, but I'm back now! And I'm also taking your place!"
He zapped a huge laser at Master Hand. He started disintegrating. "Help me!" he said. "Everyone, stay . . . strong . . . don't . . . prevail . . ."
And then he disappeared into ashes, waving good-bye.
"Hello," Crazy Hand said, turning to face us. "My name is Crazy Hand, and I do things a little bit differently around here."
