Okay, I'm back! This story bends the rules a little (the author, SamuraiNinja7000, even told me so himself), but I do agree with the 'announcement of admiration', that will occur. Also, this author told me that this story is about my character, Asriella, so don't think that I'm shoehorned in here, it was by request. Now, you can read "Life of the Party", by SamuraiNinja7000. [Note: True 3rd person P.O.V.]. Enjoy!
"And I want your family and-a friends to come-a too', Mario hollered as he waved an invitation in the air, 'please don't-a be shy, let your-a loved ones join in on the fun-a! Smash-a Brothers Summer Dance! Yahoo!"
Pit shuffled shyly up to Mario, wings tucked next to his tunic. "Can we really bring anyone?" he asked. "Well-a, who do you-a have in mind-a?" the Italian plumber replied. "Okay, she's not canon, but could I bring my little cousin Azey to the party? I think she would like it". Mario nodded and answered, "Of-a course she can-a come! The more-a the merrier"!
That afternoon, Pit was teleported up to Skyworld with Palutena, eager to tell his little cousin the news. In the courtyard, a few Centurions stood, guarding a large temple, which they stepped aside from to let in Palutena. In the atrium, many angels bustled about, getting things done. Pit couldn't see a thing!
Palutena rang a large bell, getting everyone's attention. "Has anyone seen Asriella', she called, 'we need to ask her something". "Auntie! I'm coming, gimme a sec", a little voice squeaked. A small angel, looking no older than 9 or 10, flew into the room with white wings outlined in hot-pink. She had glittering purple eyes, wild, snake-like orange hair, and she happened to be wearing a sweater that read: "I'm all about Bass", with a picture of said Wily-Bot striking an offensive pose.
"You guys are back from Smash Bros', she ogled, removing her sweatshirt and tying it around her waist, ink covered her hands, 'what for? Did something happen?" "No, we were coming to ask you a favor', Palutena answered, 'would you like to come to a party with us? I thought you would like it". Azey squealed, overjoyed, and gave her aunt a hug. The little angel nodded ecstatically, and Pit began to run his mouth.
"Okay Azey. I'm gonna need to teach you some things first', Pit took his cousin by the hand and began to talk, 'coming from experience, not everyone is nice, and floor-ice-cream can be hard to come by, so you'll need to be prepared. Don't worry, I'll teach you everything you need to know! Follow me". Azey groaned a little, as she preferred her ice-cream to not be covered in foot germs.
Pit pulled down a complex-looking chart, much to Palutena's amusement. Azey just looked at it, bewildered and a tad concerned. There were three columns on the chart: Nice, Neutral, and Avoid at all Costs. Among the Nice Smashers were Lucas, Sonic, Ethan, Mega Man, Mario, Peach, and other smashers of the sort. Neutral smashers included Quackers the Duck, Hunter the Dog, Banjo, Kazooie, Bayonetta, Snake, and the Dragon Quest people he didn't know the names of. And under Avoid at All Costs, there was Ganondorf, Wario, D.D.D, and many others. 'Wow', Azey thought, more intrigued than before, 'so many people, so little time! I wonder where I should start'.
Once the party day arrived, everyone was looking around the room for people to meet, but none were more obvious than the non-canon angel that was holding hands with Pit. "Okay, play nice, Azey', he warned, 'we don't want trouble, so don't go looking for it".
Azey giggled as she pranced to the refreshments table, where she was happily greeted by a certain bear-and-bird duo. "Well, hiya', the bear chuckled, 'can't say I've ever seen you here. You related to Pit?" The little angel nodded as she poured herself a glass of the alcohol-free Falcon-Punch. "I never thought you'd show up. What about the Goku thing?" Azey asked. "Well, the two of us were threatened into it, and, against all odds, Master Hand gave us a second chance', Kazooie hooted, 'now, Lumino, Solo, Cheese, and Erdrick, the Dragon Quest heroes, got to be released right before we did!"
Dark Pit, known to Azey as step-cousin Too-Too, was sitting alone at a table in the back, taking small bites of a cucumber sandwich while staring at someone in the distance. A big smile crossed Azey's little face as she raced over, tripping an Inkling in the process! "Oops! Sorry Squidbagger. Just so you know, Female Corrin is that way if you wanna play a prank on her', Azey apologized, turning her attention back to Dark Pit, 'Too-Too! How are you? I missed you so much!" She wrapped the clone in a big hug as he blushed a little.
"Okay, Asriella. You know how much I love you, and how much I actually enjoy that name, but if could you refrain fromusing it around', Dark Pit gestured toward Ganondorf and company, 'them. I would really appreciate it." Azey nodded slyly as her older step-cousin went back to staring. "Quick question: who are you staring at?" she asked curiously. Sighing, Dark Pit responded, 'That, Azey, is Lucina, the only female Echo Fighter that's tolerable. Trust me, you try being within a 10-foot radius of Princess Daisy for an hour at best." "Gimme a second. I have to go do something", Azey said suddenly, walking over to the DJ booth.
Dark Pit smiled a little as Wario came over. "Who is that? Your girlfriend or something", Wario teased, pointing toward the female angel. Dark Pit proceeded to smack him as Captain Falcon dumped the punch bowl on his head while screaming, "YES!" at the top of his lungs.
"Excuse me? Mr. ROB', Azey squeaked, 'could you play a slow song next? I think it's high time for that". ROB 'nodded' and the quick melody came to a close. Every Smasher and Assist Trophy gathered in the middle to slow-dance with their partners. Mario and Peach, Link and Zelda, and Luigi and Daisy were a few of the obvious couples.
Then there were a couple of more unusual ones. Gina has somehow convinced the shy, introverted, stoic-faced Mega Man to dance with her while Dark Samus pitifully attempted to break them up, Banjo was trying to slow-dance with Kazooie, Toon Link had somehow gotten to dance with Sunny, and all the female assist trophies, with the exception of Yuri and Lyn, were forever fighting over who got to have the dance with Zero and Ghirahim respectively. They both shrugged and tried to walk away, Callie and Phosphora in tow, unfortunately.
Dark Pit sulked over that fact that he had to slow-dance, but Azey was ready to cheer him up. "Come on To- I mean Dark Pit, (gosh, that name is so bad), you have to interact with someone. I can go get somebody if you want me to", Azey pleaded. Dark Pit shook his head as Solo, Young Link, and Ness came over to Azey, silly grins plastered on their faces. Dark Pit gave Lucina, who was chatting with Reflet in a long, midnight-blue dress, a long, wistful stare.
'Wow, she's so beautiful in that gown. You can tell she's a princess on the outside, even though she will always be stunning on the inside', he thought as Lucina turned in his general direction. Out of the corner of his eye, Dark Pit saw his little cousin dancing with Lucas, much to the dismay of many Smashers, but she found some time to give her step-cousin a thumbs-up. He took a deep breath and started toward Lucina, eyes filled with false pride. She saw Dark Pit's advance, and giggled slightly. "Okay, D.P, you can have this dance', Lucina smirked, 'us Echos have to look out for each other, right?" Dark Pit nodded shyly as he began to dance.
"Who did you set Dark Pit up with", Lucas asked as the fast song came back on. "I set him up with Lucina. Too-Too told me that he thought that Lucina was the best female echo, so I put 2 and 2 together, and found out that she liked him too! Magical, isn't it". Pit, who listened in on the conversation, smiled as Dark Pit gave Lucina a mini hand-kiss, a sign of chivalry, (Chrom was not amused), as she stared off into space.
Azey came up and hugged Dark Pit from behind, happy to have helped. As Phosphora tackled an annoyed Zero, the reploid looked up at the magical moment before him before turning to throw his fangirl off the freshly dry-cleaned tuxedo he was wearing.
"Wow, Pittoo', Palutena gleamed, 'good job on getting yourself a lady. Lookin' good, Lucy!" Dark Pit cringed, but overall enjoyed his evening with Lucina, even with Pitstain and the cousin that said angel didn't deserve (in Too-Too's humble opinion).
'Have fun while you still can, Smashers', someone thought from outside the mansion, 'darkness will flood this puny world and consume all but the soul of unlimited power. I may have been maimed by those imbeciles then, but a dark spirit existed on the light side, spying for me, helping me regain my old strength, and he doesn't even know he's assisting in my resurrection. Isn't that right, Maverick Hunter Zero?"
