December 20, 2008 :: 5 days to go!
"I should've known, I should've seen it. You just can't trust him. As far as Smashers go...he's a really bad one!"
Link nodded out of habit as he followed Sonic into Smash Mansion. Sonic was ranting on about Knuckles, his rival, who had also been a Smasher for a small amount of time. Link loved Sonic's style of fighting but when he was ranting, he was just annoying.
Mario was in the living room, watching Luigi at MarioKart as always. He still had and used his original NES. He was smiling to himself, actually getting somewhere in the game for once in a lifetime.
"Hey, Luigi," Link greeted, throwing his keys down onto the table. "Having fun?"
"Y-Yeah!" Luigi struggled to say through his wild grinning.
"Good," Link replied, sitting down. "You know, we should chuck the telly away and just use Luigi for a free primary source of entertainment. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Watch Luigi play MarioKart!"
Luigi finished the race and paused the game. He threw himself down on the sofa, all tired out. Luigi's video game playing often took a physical toll on him - but it was all the exercise he needed.
"No wonder you're so tall," Mario said, turning on the TV.
"I don't like being tall," Luigi replied. But he was looking at Mario instead. "I want to be small like you, Mario."
"It sucks, quite rightfully."
Luigi blinked in astonishment.
