"Hi, Link," Mario said as he walked into the room, a clipboard under his arm.
"Oh, hey, Mario. What is it this time?" Link asked, turning away from the gripping thriller he'd bought the day before.
"Well, I've been considering the chart and I believe that I should actually go in first- Oh, hi, Princess Peach!" Mario said, almost dropping his clipboard in surprise.
"Oh… The clipboard again… It doesn't bother me. We're under an alliance now so go ahead," Peach said.
"Um… Princess? Can you cook me something?" Mario asked.
Peach turned around slowly, a smile lighting up her face as she did so, until she was facing Mario when she said, "Yes. What would you like me to make?"
"Pass the salt, Princess," Mario said, a chicken wing in his hand.
"Here," Peach said as she grabbed it and handed it over.
"You know, you are a pretty good cook," Mario said.
"Thanks," Peach said nervously, wondering why she had made so much food anyway, as Link was too busy reading.
"So… are you going to stop eating Sonic's?" Peach asked.
"No, I can't. He'll be devastated. But I still don't know who's better at cooking," Mario said.
"Why don't we have a competition? To find out who's better?" Peach suggested.
"Oh, please, Peach! Can't we talk about it once we get back to Mushroom Kingdom?" Mario said, starting to feel safe in her presence again.
"Could you be quiet? I'm out of here," Link muttered but as he reached the door, he noticed Captain Falcon in his path.
"What are you doing here?" Link asked and everything went black, which was much more normal.
Roy woke up, the dream he'd experienced odd through his eyes.
He looked from side to side, but only saw Ike in bed, who liked to sleep in, due to the endless calls he received.
"What a weird dream," Roy murmured to himself, remembering when Mario and Peach had been talking peacefully.
"Oh, you're up," someone said from the doorway, making Roy jump.
He then noticed it was just Zelda and began to calm down, although he was curious to why he was still asleep.
He usually woke up early for some reason and never dreamed since… well, that's irrelevant.
"What are you doing here?" Roy asked, suddenly being reminded of Captain Falcon and wondering why he was in his dream.
"Oh… I was… Uh…" Zelda said, nervously looking around the room, only once stopping and looking oddly at Ike.
Roy slowly slipped out of his bed, feeling miserable, and said, "What's the time?"
"It's actually 5 in the morning. You're a deep sleeper, you know," Zelda said.
"…I assume something loud happened that awoke everyone in the hotel except for Ike and I?" Roy said, face to face with Zelda now.
"Yeah. Mario and Peach were fighting. Well, are fighting," Zelda explained.
Roy silently laughed, finding the everyday banters between Mario and Peach amusing.
"Should I wake Ike up?" Zelda asked but Roy shook his head and the two began to walk to the lobby.
Suddenly, Zelda stopped, grabbed Roy's arm, made him face her and said, "I've decided I'll go out on one date with you."
"…O- Okay," Roy said, looking nervously about the narrow hallway.
"Oh," Zelda said, noticing what Roy had noticed and letting go of him.
Roy kept his emotions hidden until they'd made it to the lobby, where he now knew why they'd been going there.
"You don't even try!" Peach screamed.
"Yeah? Well, every other second I have to be doing work, you know!" Mario shouted back.
"Work? What work?" Peach asked, her voice whiny with question.
"Rescuing you! Yeah, my job is to save you and if you weren't such an idiot, maybe I'd have more energy to do things!" Mario shouted, pleased he had saved his insult up.
While Peach gasped, Bowser stood up and said, "Come on, guys! What's the use of screaming and screaming at one another? Wouldn't it be better to sit down and have an actual conversation with each other?"
They both turned to him and snapped, "No!"
They then returned to their argument.
"Seriously, why are you so stupid?" Mario asked.
Peach looked as though he face were about to explode when she finally breathed out and murmured, "Well, I've actually got a lot of things on my mind."
Everyone began to clap except for Samus, who was trying to be sensible, and Sonic, who's hands were actually tied together because of Luigi.
Then Marth walked up to Peach, lifted her arm into the air, and said, "Peach is the winner!"
Samus chuckled softly but when she realized she was laughing at something Marth had done, she went quiet.
"Hey, I thought the winner was the one who lasted the longest!" Mario shouted above the clapping.
"No. You see, this is a competition to see who's more sensible," Marth whispered to Mario.
"I thought those two were past that," Roy murmured to himself, looking at Mario and Peach, but then remembered they had only been nice to one another in his dream.
Ganondorf, beside Roy, began to laugh at the words that were supposed to be only his.
"What are you laughing at?" Roy asked, his eyes scanning the room for a moment in case there was another reason.
"It's just… What made you think they'd stop fighting?" Ganondorf asked, a tear of laughter in his eye.
"Nothing…" Roy said, beginning to wonder what was so special about his dream anyway.
Then he saw Link walking by and decided to tell him something that would change his life.
"For goodness sake, don't you people ever sleep?" another hotel guest said.
"Yes, someone else who speaks English in this country!" King Dedede cheered, increasing the volume of his clapping.
"You know, you must be breaking the law somehow," that same hotel guest mumbled as he walked back to his room.
"Don't worry! We already have," Mario said but before he said anything worse, Zelda clamped her gloved hand across his mouth and pushed him against the wall.
"What the heck is wrong with you? He could've recognized you!" Zelda muttered, staring with her snake-like eyes into Mario's squirming ones.
She finally let go of him, allowing him to breath and she began to hope that Mario wouldn't be so foolish.
"So, I heard that Dr. Mario was bailed out of jail by a mysterious stranger. What do you think of that?" Wario, on the other side of the room, asked Lucario.
"Why is Dr. Mario so interesting to you?" Lucario asked.
"Well, is it just a coincidence that he and Mario look exactly alike, have the same name, the same accent and one of the few people here in Spain who speak English?" Wario asked.
"…Personally, yeah. I think so," Lucario said and started to walk away.
"So, Link… I guess I should tell you now. Zelda asked me out," Roy said before Link could leave the room.
Link was speechless, literally incapable of speech.
"I just thought I'd tell because… it just feels kind of weird," Roy continued while Link opened and closed his mouth like a goldfish.
"But don't take it personally, Link! Well, take it a bit personally… but anyway, I'd just like to say…" Roy said, searching for the right words to end his sentence.
Why was it so hard for him and why was he even telling Link?
Was he mocking Link?
Did he feel bad because Link had been working for years to ask Zelda out and he had come in there, taking Link's prize?
Did he even want to go out with Zelda anymore?
"I'm going to go and read a book," Link said, regaining his senses.
"What?" Roy asked but Link paid no more attention to him as he walked back to his hotel room, which he happened to share with others.
Link had never wanted to read a book before. Is my dream coming true?
Actually, that was phrased wrong. Is the prophecy of my dream becoming reality?
Meanwhile, Peach sighed, annoyed that everyone laughed about the matter with Mario and her, even Mario himself.
"Hey, Peach! Can I talk to you in private?" Zelda said from the sidelines.
"Oh, okay," Peach said, wondering what Zelda had to say as she walked towards her.
Once she was close enough, Zelda grabbed her hand and pulled her aside. She then covered Peach's mouth with her grubby hand, fell back to back with the wall with Peach in front of her as her prisoner and whispered, "This thing with you and Mario has got to stop."
Wait, grubby hand? Zelda wears gloves! Peach thought and tried to look at her captor. Snake!
"So, deal? Stop fighting with Mario, it's ruining everything!" Snake said.
"…I can't!" Peach said, her voice muffled through Snake's fingers.
"Hey, where's Peach?" Marth asked and everyone began to search.
"Well, I'll see you later," Snake murmured and let go of Peach, beginning to run into the distant halls of the hotel.
"Peach?" the real Zelda asked as Peach stumbled back into the proper part of the lobby.
"…Snake… he said I'll meet him later…" Peach murmured and fell to sleep as if she were tired.
Had there been chloroform on his hand? What did he mean by 'I'll see you later?' What were her fights with Mario causing? Peach thought before she fully dozed off.
"So, Snake strikes again, and you still are no closer to the truth," Marth said to Lucario.
"…Well, yeah, but you don't have to rub it in," Lucario replied.
Zelda and Luigi lifted Peach off the ground, carefully carrying her to her room.
"So… where were we?" Marth said but before he erupted into noise on his own, he noticed the same English hotel guest glaring at him.
"On second thoughts, let's get more sleep," Marth said quickly and practically dragged everyone to their rooms.
As Zelda told Peach to sleep as she slipped in and out of conciseness, it seemed the hotel would finally get quiet, until Ike woke up.
He took one look around the room and wondered what bizarre world he had woken up in where everyone slept in later than him except Link, who seemed to enjoy reading books.
He slowly went back to sleep, afraid of what else would happen in this place, hoping it was only a dream.
Most people stayed up and among those were Mario, Zelda and Pit.
"So, what do you think we should do today?" Mario asked his accomplices, Zelda and Pit.
"This is stupid! Why do we need this money anyway? You're rich, aren't you?" Pit asked Mario.
"Well, you can't be too rich," Mario said.
"Yeah, but why do we need the money?" Pit asked.
"Wouldn't it be great if all of us were rich?" Mario said, starting to think Pit was bailing on them.
"Okay, but you're converting it," Pit said, leaning back in the hotel chair he lay upon, waiting for Mario's plan to be said.
"Well, our plan that we usually use is good but I think we should get even more people in on it… Link would be good, actually. It would give us 6 hours to get the money and run without being caught," Mario said.
"Wait, wouldn't that mean that other people could come in and steal as well?" Zelda asked.
"Yeah, but that doesn't concern us," Mario said.
Zelda began to question Mario's leadership and if what they were doing was so wrong, she should be in prison for eternity.
"You know, I don't think we should do this anymore," Zelda said.
"…Are you backing out?" Mario asked, his eyes dark as he grew to a strange height, cornering her.
"You can't hurt me. You don't even know if I'm a hologram or not," Zelda said, seemingly unafraid.
"Listen, are you backing out or not?" Mario asked and then placed his hand on her shoulder, proving she wasn't a hologram.
She had no idea if Mario had known she wasn't a hologram before he put his hand on her shoulder, but she was so scared at that moment that she murmured, "N- no…"
Mario beamed and returned to his crazy self, lighting up the room.
Zelda sighed with relief when Mario took his hand off her shoulder, as the experience had been fingernail-bitingly scary.
Roy was walking along the street, planning to go around the town, not afraid of the police, when he tripped with no cause.
"What the hell?" he said as he got up, brushed himself off and continued walking.
He then saw, across the street, the most fabulous looking restaurant he'd ever seen and, just looking at it, he craved its food.
He decided to cross the road to get there… once the traffic stopped.
Car.
Car.
Car.
Car.
Car.
What's going on? It wasn't like this yesterday and that was Saturday. What could all these people need to do on a Sunday? Roy thought and finally decided he would come another time.
Once his walk back to the hotel, he tripped again, grazing his knees, elbows and legs.
Bowser was still eating breakfast and wasn't thoroughly enjoying it.
He decided to eat an orange, as everyone seemed to be doing that, so he got up off his seat and headed over to the bowl of oranges in the centre of the table.
He reached in, seeing there was only one orange left, and almost grabbed it.
He looked up to see that Samus had beaten him to the chase for the last orange.
"Wipe that smirk off your face," Bowser muttered, but Samus only grinned even more.
He shrugged and decided to eat the last apple.
He picked it up and accidentally crushed it in his claws, to his enragement.
He decided to just go back to his seat but when he looked over, Wario was there, eating his food.
Marth grunted and realized he had awoken.
He shuffled the blanket which he lay under and decided to sleep in, again.
Link looked over to him and sighed from annoyance, then continued to read.
Marth grunted again, closer to the edge than ever before… and fell off the bed.
He immediately stood up, now fully awake, and rushed out the door.
"Where's-" Samus said but then a blue blur flew by here.
"-my orange?" Samus finished, only then noticing it had vanished within the blue blur.
Finally, Marth crashed into a wall, and Roy could be heard laughing.
Marth stood up again, finally going through his two normal stages before being awake; Laziness and sugar rush.
Usually he just crashed into the door of his bedroom but Red had left the door open when he had left.
"What the heck was that?" Lucario asked, who'd been peacefully eating until then.
"Sugar rush," Marth said and sat down next to him.
A waiter came by and gave Marth a splendiferous meal, surprising Lucario.
He felt strange in Marth's presence, for he had never eaten breakfast with him, but soon adjusted, until they had both finished eating.
Marth stood up and began to move.
Outside, a kid was playing on a skateboard and, somehow, was sent inside the building, never stopping once.
He went through the entire hotel until he arrived at the eating quarters, where he fell (safely) off his skateboard.
The skateboard, however, was sent flying through the air, but Marth saw it coming and ducked.
It then hit the wall, was sent rolling towards Marth, tripped him over and sent him somersaulting backwards.
The kid had stood up by then and jumped on the skateboard as it passed by, leaving the hotel.
Marth landed onto Samus's table, which she alone occupied.
Samus then proceeded to hit him on the head.
"That can only be bad luck," Lucario said.
