(Author's Notes- Ok… from what I got, it seems Ike better back off. He's irritating people. I think we can all agree with SpiritofSilverWater that Wolf is terrible with ladies. That made me laugh. Let's not tell him that though. That's a job for someone else. Thanks to all who answered my questions. I was happy to hear that people are reading my really long Author Notes! Yahoo! My poll is still up, and I'm excited to see the results. Without further ado, Chapter 14!)

Feel the Pressure!

Wolf giggles to himself. He crouches down behind a chair on the front porch, looking down at Samus and Meta Knight. Samus does target practice. She had tied some rocks to tree branches and wondered if she could make one of them explode or something. Meta Knight watches Samus from a safe distance. She rapidly shoots the rocks she hung.

The wind starts to blow through the trees. Samus's stray pieces of hair blow in the wind, harmonizing with the leaves rattling in the trees. To Meta Knight, it is so strange how much enjoyment this natural beauty gets out of destroying things. Was it her environment that made her like that or her past? As ugly as she could get when she was angry, you'd think she'd be Bowser ugly. However, as if fate could not see the outward beauty it put on such a soul, Samus was a beauty with a heart full of pain and battle. At least, that is how Meta Knight saw it.

Samus's shoulders drop. She has hit the same rock several times, and it has not shattered. However, maybe another could amuse her by shattering the rock. She looks at Meta Knight. "Hey, do you think your sword could shatter that rock like you were crumbling a cracker?"

Meta Knight returns to the real world from his thoughts. "Do I think?" He walks up beside Samus. Samus steps back.

Heroically, Meta Knight pulls out his cardboard sword! Wait what? Meta Knight looks at the cardboard sword he just pulled out of his scabbard. "What in Nova's name?" He looks at Samus. Samus smiles in amusement. Luckily for Meta Knight, he is wearing his mask, making it so Samus cannot see his cheeks blushing with embarrassment.

Wolf has to cover his mouth so he doesn't attract attention by bursting out in laughter. The night before, he had replaced Meta Knight's sword, Galaxia, with a piece of cardboard shaped like a sword. He could have sworn that sword was electrified. That was pretty painful. After many attempts to get it out, he finally managed not to wake Mr. G&W and Meta Knight and get Galaxia out of its scabbard. Even though it was the most painful weapon removing he has ever done, it was worth it to embarrass the knight in front of Samus.

"I uh… guess I left Galaxia inside. I will return shortly." It takes everything Meta Knight can muster to sound more confused that humiliated. As confused as he is, the humiliation level is greater. He walks back towards the house.

Wolf sees Meta Knight coming to the house. He then realizes that Meta Knight will surely see him when he passes. He feels his ears drooping. He'll have to do some serious acting to get out of this one.

Meta Knight does see Wolf when he reaches the porch. Wolf acts as if he just exited the house. He asks, "Whoa… how long has your sword been cardboard?"

Meta Knight can see right through the act, mainly because both of Wolf's ears are down, as if he is sad or guilty. However, the knight decides to play along. "I don't know. It was perfectly golden yesterday."

His sword is made of gold?! He's filthy rich! No wonder Samus likes this guy. "That's very odd." Wolf hears his voice getting dry. That's what happens when he is fearful and trying to hide it.

"Yes… it is very strange. You wouldn't happen to know why Galaxia is not in her scabbard this morning, would you?" Hoping to get an answer out of Wolf, Meta Knight uses his special technique for getting answers out of guilty liars. He normally uses this technique on Olimar when he is guilty of something back at the mansion. It works like a charm.

Wolf starts to sweat, and it is not because today is a warm day. It takes all of Wolf's self-discipline to not show his guilt through physical body motions. Just maybe, he could get past this clever warrior. "I cannot say I know what has happened to your sword. Perhaps you-," His voice cracks a little, and he has to swallow some saliva to moisten his throat. "Perhaps you should ask Mr. Game & Watch. He probably knows."

Yep, Wolf did it. He has too much self-discipline to crack. But… why did he do it, out of all people? Meta Knight shrugs and walks inside, without saying another word to Wolf.

Wolf sighs in relief and goes to Samus. Samus peacefully looks at the sky with a smile on her face.

"Hello Samus. Lovely day." Wolf says casually.

Samus looks at Wolf. Her smile turns to a blank expression. She replies, "Hi Wolf. It is warm."

"UH… ya. Hey, what happened out here? I saw Meta Knight with cardboard."

Samus can't help but smile as she looks at the sky. "YA. He pulled out his sword, expecting to see Galaxia, but instead pulled out that cardboard sword."

"Sheesh. That's embarrassing. He can't even keep track of his weapons, unlike me." Wolf pulls out his gun and shoots one of the hanging rocks. The rock shatters.

Samus glares at Wolf. "Number one, I wanted to destroy that," She looks at the sky and smiles. "And… number two, I don't think badly of Meta Knight for not having Galaxia."

Wolf is aghast. "What?!" He puts away his gun. "But, he lost his sword. Doesn't that make him less of a knight?"

Samus looks at Wolf with a blank expression. She says, "It doesn't make him any less of a knight; it makes him normal."

"Lunch!" Peach calls from inside.

Samus nods once to Wolf and walks towards the house. She realizes that she feels… humble. Wait… did I just defend Meta Knight in front of Wolf? HUH. That's new.

Wolf clenches his fists in anger. He stomps once. "Really?!"

"Really?!" Pit yells. "Would brushing your teeth just once kill you?!"

Captain Falcon responds, "It could. If you swallow too much Fluoride."

"You are not three-years-old!"

Bowser walks over to Pit's side. "You go on vacation, and Captain Falcon is three."

Pit's hair almost bursts into flames he is so mad. Instead, his face turns cherry red.

"Whoa Pit, maybe you need to see a doctor. You look like you're constipated." Link comments. He and Marth burst into laughter, banging their heads on the counter and rolling on the floor.

"You better shove a pie in that mouth Link!" Pit screams.

Marth is the first to stop laughing. "Pit, it isn't the end of the world."

"YA. The end of the world would be if Zelda fell for Ike or something." Link is able to stop laughing to speak.

"Ah ha ha! So as love saved the worlds, it can also destroy them." The mysterious voice catches everyone off guard, except for Bowser.

Bowser recognizes the voice. "Dimentio."

The jester appears on the couch beside Captain Falcon. He takes a chip from Falcon's bag. "It is incredible how small our world really is." Captain Falcon hugs his chip bag like a child hugs their blanket.

"Go back to The Underwhere Dimentio." Bowser's voice could scare a tiger.

Marth whispers to Link, "Where is that?"

Dimentio floats off the couch into the air. "Are you not happy to see me?" The sarcasm rolls off his tongue, like rain on a window.

Bowser plays the game of sarcasm too by saying, "No, it is a pleasure to see you."

"OH, that is wonderful news!" Dimentio lands on the ground. "I am pleased to hear I can stay to gossip a bit."

Like a bratty girl, Marth runs into the living room and asks, "Gossip?!" Link follows him with the same expression.

Amused at the stupidity of Marth and Link, Dimentio continues. "OH yes. I have very juicy gossip from right next door! Like an unopened library book, I am dying to share my words with listeners!"

In unison, Link and Marth yell, "Tell us!"

Bowser facepalms.

"You were saying earlier that the end of the world would be if Zelda fell for Ike, yes? Well, I guess the end of the world is near, because the fair princess we speak of has fallen for the warrior named Ike! I watched as Zelda leaned into Ike's arms. I can almost swear I saw Timpani and Count Bleck's love in those two."

Link's eyes are as small as baby flies, and his jaw falls to the floor like a weight. Marth smiles, as if he was Princess Peach getting proposed to by Mario. Link suddenly falls over onto his side.

Bowser scowls at Dimentio. "Now look what you did! You killed him!"

Marth asks in a high-pitched voice, "Seriously?"

"OH I'm deadly serious. It was beautiful." Dimentio wouldn't have said that if he knew that Link's sword was going to smash the ground right beside him. The Hylian has flames in his eyes. His next target; Dimentio.

"Maybe I should've stayed in The Underwhere."

A bowl of food is set on the floor. Pikachu claps with joy. Luigi rubs Pikachu's head.

"So, you found Pikachu in the forest?" Falco questions Toon Link and Kirby. Kirby nods.

"And don't forget those strange creatures in the tree. One of them had really strange glasses that made him look like a psychopath."

"YA. Thanks Toon Link. What I'm really concerned about is why Pikachu is here instead of with his team. I bet Olimar is really worried about him."

Pikachu looks up from his food, tuning into the conversation.

"Can we keep him?"

Falco laughs. "No Toon Link. We have to take him back to Team 5. I'll take him back tomorrow and ask what is going on."

Tomorrow! No! I have to find Jigglypuff! I can't go back yet! Pikachu forgets about his food. He needs to get back on the road, quick!

A limping Lucario walks into the room. He manages to grab the countertop before he falls. Pikachu looks around the island counter and sees Lucario. His ears drop.

"Lucario! What are you doing out of bed?" Falco asks with concern.

"Sorry to worry you. Ness needed to use the restroom for a moment, so I thought I might take a trip into the living room without being ordered to lie back down." Lucario's manages to say without coughing. He tries to take another step, but falls. Luigi runs over to him just in time to catch him. Falco walks over and puts Lucario's arm over himself to support him.

Lucario sees Pikachu. "Hey Pikachu. How are you doing?"

I'm not happy anymore. What happened?

"I-," He groans in pain. "I just got into a little fight."

A little fight! You look like you go hit by the Halberd!

Lucario chuckles to himself. "That bad huh?"

Toon Link gets irritated. "What is he saying?!"

Lucario coughs a couple times, and then answers, "Pikachu thinks I look like I got hit by the Halberd. Is that accurate?" Both Toon Link and Kirby nod.

Ness walks out of the bathroom. He sees Lucario. "Lucario! What are you doing out of bed?!"

"What are you, a miniature Falco?" Lucario jokes around. He is in a better mood than a normal person in his condition. Falco and Ness help Lucario back into his room.

Kirby, what happened to Lucario? Pikachu asks.

Kirby answers in 'poyo's, but Pikachu can understand him. All we know is that Lucario was tied to a tree and badly beaten when we found him. He hasn't explained to us what happened yet.

And Ness?

Ness is terribly worried. He is the only one who saw what happened, and every time he tries to tell us what happened, he bursts into tears. I'm worried he might have been scarred for life.

Pikachu thinks to himself about what would be best. I better stay for a little while. Just in case.

"You aren't still mad at me?"

"You bet I am!" Lucas argues with Ganondorf.

"Look, I wasn't trying to fry R.O.B. Case closed."

"NO case NOT closed! I've about had it with your attitude!"

"You are a teenager! You cannot tell me what to do!"

Lucas scowls. He runs into the kitchen and takes a decoration off a hook on the wall. It is a wooden mallet.

Ganondorf is amused. "You gonna hit me with that?"

"I might. It might just change your attitude!" Lucas says, holding the mallet high. Ganondorf walks up to Lucas and takes the mallet out of his hands with no trouble. Lucas stomps twice and runs to his room.

Ganondorf laughs. "That's better." He looks at the mallet. His eyes widen in shock and confusion. "What the?"

In black ink, words on the handle of the mallet say 'The Attitude Adjuster'. Scared, Ganondorf tosses the mallet at the glass door to the back porch.

On the porch, Mario hums his theme song. Nothing could go wrong. Then, the mallet crashes through the glass of the back door. It flies past Mario's head and off the porch. Mario starts to yell in shock and fear. Ganondorf stares at Mario from inside. He walks out the broken door. For about two minutes, Mario continues to yell without break. Finally, his face turns blue, and he gasps for air, ceasing to yell.

Mario looks at Ganondorf and then at the door. He looks back at Ganondorf. "Please, make a list of all the things you-a break, so the check for all the damages goes to you." He walks back inside.

Ganondorf sighs. "Spirit of Zant, do something."

Zelda stares out the window. Outside, Ike practices his skills. Zelda goes outside onto the porch. "Ike, you know that we are on vacation, right?"

Ike looks at Zelda. He smiles. "You can never get enough practice Zelda."

Zelda giggles and walks back inside.

Ike swings his sword in joy.

"Stop!"

Ike stops in his tracks, freezing the sword in middle of the swing. Dimentio leans back and holds up his hands. Ike stares at the jester in confusion. He lowers his sword.

Dimentio puts his hands back on his crutches. There are two bandages in an 'X' shape right above his left eye. One of his feet is turned around backwards.

"Dude, what happened to you?"

"I am not one to try to help," One of Dimentio's crutches falls down. Ike picks it up for him and hands it back. "Thank you. I am not one to help, but stop the love."

Ike is confused. "What?"

Dimentio glares up at the swordsmen. "Stop with the goo-goo eyes at Zelda!"

Ike looks back at the porch. He looks at Dimentio. He asks, "Have you been spying on me?"

Dimentio swings his hands around in fear. Both crutches fall down. Dimentio holds his hands in front of his face. "Not again! Please!"

Ike picks up the crutches. "I haven't attacked you, and I won't attack you." He crouches down so he is eye level with the jester. He hands the crutches back. Dimentio takes them slowly and puts them under his arms (if he has any).

"Ike, you liking Zelda is a bad idea. That is why I'm like this. I'm just the one that told the news. You are the one in the news." Dimentio warns.

Ike starts to understand. "So, someone attacked you because of it?"

Dimentio nods. "Most of the damage done was done by a fork."

"A fork?"

"You don't want to know where it is now."

Ike heeds the warning.

(Author's Notes- I miss Dimentio, ok! I just finished Super Paper Mario, and I really liked Dimentio. I don't even know where he went after the events of the game. That is probably what bothers me most. Anyway, so how was this huh? OH! The 'Attitude Adjuster' actually exists. On one of my vacations, a wooden mallet hanging from a hook in the kitchen had the words 'the attitude adjuster' on the handle. I thought it was so funny, I incorporated it here. Ike has been warned. Do you think he'll still go for Zelda? What will Meta Knight do now? What is wrong with Samus?! What will Pikachu do now that he's seen Lucario? Is Ness scarred for life? What do you think happened when Link attacked Dimentio? Anyway, the poll is still up, and tell me what team you think will probably win. I loved this chapter.)
