A/N: I. Am. SO SORRY. I almost thought about giving up on this story. However, I then remembered that this is my first multi-chapter story, so... I shouldn't give up. Besides... I always get interesting ideas in my reviews, so my dear readers... I must thank you! If you do have any ideas, I might consider trying them out, and if I do, credit goes to you. I do need help because, again, this is my first multi-chapter fic and with this fic having a plot with a time-limit-ish thing, I need ideas. So, yeah. I thank you my dear readers! *blows kisses*
Pikachu, Wolf, Yoshi, and Meta Knight blinked.
"You guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Pikachu asked.
"We're gonna see why someone would place a banana peel near the pool?" Wolf suggested.
"Yup." Pikachu said.
"Well... It's sort of our job now..." Yoshi pointed out. "So, we might as well investigate."
"Agreed." Meta Knight muttered.
The four got out of their seats, going to the pool. It was pretty normal. And they still had no idea this place existed. The kids were playing around, the women were relaxing...
"Things seem normal." Meta Knight said. "Who would bring some food here? More specifically, a banana?"
"I don't know, maybe..." Pikachu started, only to be interrupted by a screech. It was Peach. She was suddenly in the pool, when she was clearly relaxing on a chair a few moments ago. She was shaking, pointing to her seat.
"S-Sp-Spi... SPIDER!" She cried.
The four rushed over to her seat... And saw a plastic arachnid.
"Girl, calm down. It's fake." Wolf reassured the princess who was getting out of the pool.
Splash~
Everyone turned their attention to the deep end, where they saw Lucario scrambling out, hair and clothes clinging to his body.
"...Someone pushed me." He growled.
Pikachu's eyes widened. "Guys. I have our mastermind."
"...What?"
"I think I know what's going on here! Follow me! We need to find Sonic!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Sonic stated.
"Dude. You hate water. You want people to feel the same way." Wolf explained.
"I wasn't there, though. I was here. I have proof!" Sonic pointed to Mario and Wario, who were beating the crap out of each other. "I. Was. Here. I was reading some comics!"
He pulled up an issue of Teen Titans.
Meta Knight cleared his throat, adjusting his mask. "Alright. But we're keeping a note of you!"
"Whatever." Sonic muttered, turning around, going to sit on the couch.
"Dude. It's him. I can feel it in my aura!" Pikachu hissed. "We need some proof."
He smirked. "I know how to get it. Wolf! Let's go! Meta Knight, Yoshi... Keep an eye on Sonic."
"Who died and made you king of anything?" Yoshi asked.
"...Latios." Pikachu said. (1)
"Okay than... Let me guess, Piks. Good cop, bad cop?" Wolf asked,
The blonde grinned. "Hell yeah."
"...Let's do this shit."
And the two bolted off, leaving a pouting Yoshi and an irritated Meta Knight. So while those two were keeping a close eye on Sonic, the other two were looking for answers. And how? What do you think? They managed to track down Link, who was in the backyard near the big oak tree. Wolf shoved him against said tree.
"Did you see anyone place that banana peel?!" He asked.
"Wh-What the hell? N-No!" Link hissed. "I just didn't see it!"
"Wolf. Calm down. Now Link... Why were you at the pool?" Pikachu questioned, crossing his arms.
Link's eyes widened. "Er..."
"Well?"
"I just wanted to see what was going on." Link said. "Okay?"
"Really?" Wolf wasn't buying it.
"Yeah! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the restroom!" Link snapped, shoving them out of the way.
Wolf frowned. "Damn it."
Pikachu thought for a while. "I think we should ask the little guys. Maybe Pichu. And Toon Link. They seem like they could be doing this stuff."
And there was a scream. From, obviously, the pool. And of course, they had to check it out. Look, you all know where this is going. They ran to the area, seeing a hole in the ceiling, and Luigi in the pool. Stark naked. The women fled, while the boys, with the exception of Pikachu and Wolf, laughed.
"Er, Luigi? What happened?" Pikachu asked.
"I-I... I fell." Luigi simply replied, face red.
"Well, you should get some clothes... And how the hell did that hole appear?!" Wolf questioned."
"I-It just appeared!" Luigi squeaked. "I was taking a shower, heard a boom, and then this hole appeared causing me to fall!"
Pikachu nodded, thinking that the mastermind behind this must be excellent with bombs.
"Okay. Wolf. Let's find Toon Link!" Pikachu announced, waltzing out of the room, the silver-head following.
"I-I didn't d-do a-anything!" Toon Link whimpered, cowering as Wolf loomed over him. "Y-You know that the An-Ancient Minister will get a-angry if you c-c-continue th-this."
"Just tell what you were doing a few moments ago." Pikachu said.
Toon Link gulped. "I-I was eating cookies! See!"
He brought up a container with a variety of cookies. "A-And was reading some c-comics!"
He held up an issue of Batman, shivering. Wolf and Pikachu blinked, looking at each other, than Toon Link.
"Kid. We're letting you off the hook. For now." Pikachu said, crossing his arms. "Now go! Shoo! Eat your cookies!"
Toon Link nodded, and fled. Pikachu sighed.
"Great. Just great. We need proof, but we can't find any." He rasped.
"Crazy, huh?" Wolf said. "As long as Meta Knight and Yoshi keep an eye on our prime suspect, we're fine."
"Can you stop following me?" Sonic asked, irritated.
"We apologize, but we must." Meta Knight replied. "You're the only one who has a motive. So we need to keep a careful eye on you, making sure that no one falls into the pool or bodies of water."
Yoshi nodded. "Uh-huh. You're in trouble."
"Whatever... You can't follow me into the bathroom, though!" Sonic then burst into a sprint, running to the nearest bathroom, the two others following close behind. As soon as Sonic slammed the door behind him, Yoshi banged on the door, letting out curse words in random foreign languages.
"Yoshi. Stay here. I'm going to the pool." He ordered. The green-head nodded.
Meta Knight bolted to the area. Basic Nintendo characters were there, except Wario and Ganon. Thank Arceus for that... Anyway, let's get back to business. I should mention the detail that the hole that cause Luigi to fall into the pool was fixed. And B-Pik was tied up, in the pool. With a different hole above him. Meta Knight gaped at the scene. Yoshi was soon behind him, gulping, putting on a nervous smile, shrugging, telling him that Sonic wasn't even in the bathroom. He checked. Meta Knight looked at Yoshi, questioning why he would check up on a humanized-blue hedgehog who was in the bathroom. Yoshi ran off, causing the masked, blue-head to roll his eyes.
"Sonic. It's definitely him." He muttered. "I should tell Pikachu and Wolf."
And so he did. Guess what their reactions were...?
"I FREAKING KNEW IT!" Pikachu hissed.
Wolf cracked his knuckles. "Alright. We need to knock some sense into him."
"Wait, we need some kind of proof. At least some proof." Meta Knight pointed out.
"How are we going to get this proof, exactly?" The blonde snapped.
"Cameras and bait." Meta Knight replied. "Cameras and bait."
"But first... We rest!" Wolf exclaimed.
-Month 2:Day 5 Ends. Month 2:Day 6 Begins-
Pikachu, Wolf, Yoshi, and Meta Knight looked over the diagram of the plan. Pikachu claimed it was too confusing, Wolf said it had too many flaws, and Yoshi thought it was just bad. Meta Knight frowned. He snatched the paper, did some revisions, and plopped it back down on the desk. The other three declared it better.
A/N: Alright! I already have the second part of this arc, and I will publish it by tomorrow, or in two days.
