February 20: Lucario: Preparation

All of the houses had been rebuilt. Perhaps not to Crazy Hand's specifications, but that really wasn't important. The Smashers no longer had to sleep on the cold floor of the stadium.

The child Smashers were back from school. And since it was a Friday night they were getting ready for the weekend where they had big and ambitious plans: Do absolutely nothing! And by that, they mean stay up and play videogames. And Lucario was invited to this.

"I can't believe how quickly the houses were constructed." Lucario said.

"It did go pretty quick with all of the Pikmin, Pokemon, wire frames, polygons, and alloys helping." Red replied. Red was busy making the dinner. Meanwhile Lucario was grating cheese.

"Is this enough?" Lucario asked having grated a block of cheese.

"Do another." Red said. "I doubt we will want to get up all weekend."

"Is this really a smart idea?" Lucario wondered.

"No, but that hasn't stopped us before." Red laughed.

Lucario continued to grate the cheese. "So why do we need all of this cheese?"

"For nachos." Red replied. "And any other food we are going to have over the weekend."

Lucario was silent until he had finished grating the second block of cheese. "Okay…" Red said seeing that Lucario was done. "Why don't you bring up the mini-fridge to the room!"

Lucario just nodded and rushed down to the basement of the house. There was a brand new mini-fridge lying there. Lucario grabbed it and then began to carry it up the stairs to the room with the Wii and the new HDTV. He plugged it in and opened the mini-fridge to see that it was filled with bottled water and soft drinks. Quickly he closed the fridge and looked over at the sofa.

Sitting there was Nana. It was obvious that she didn't approve of what the boys were doing. But they just reassured her that her sleep wouldn't be interrupted. She looked over at Lucario who immediately froze up.

"Hello." Lucario said.

"Save it." Nana replied. "Just make sure they aren't loud tonight."

"I understand."

"Stupid boys," she muttered walking away.

With the TV and sofa free Ness jumped onto it in order to claim it. He brought out a bag filled with Wii games and began to sort through them. "Multiplayer, single player, multiplayer, single player, single player." He muttered as he placed one on a pile.

Quickly Lucario went back to Red. "Do you have another job for me to do?" Lucario asked.

Red looked at Lucario and thought for a moment. "Was there a table in the room for us to put food on?"

"No." Lucario recalled.

"I see then." Red replied. "There should be a collapsible table in the basement."

Lucario jumped down the stairs and ran into the basement. The basement was extremely crowded with several boxes of new stuff that had been 'generously' given to all of the Smashers after Crazy Hand destroyed the town. Lucas, Claus, and Popo were opening up all of the boxes.

"Have you seen a collapsible table?" Lucario asked.

"There is one over there." Claus said pointing to a table that had everything on it. Claus quickly put down the box he was opening and went over to the table to clear it off and collapse it. After he was done, Lucario took it upstairs. "Ness, where do you want this table?" he asked.

Ness got up from sorting the games and helped Lucario open up the table. A few minutes later Red began to carry in food. Lucario helped Red with that. "Okay," Red said exhausted. "This is it."

"After a whole week of school we need this." Claus muttered collapsing on the sofa.

"March Break can't come soon enough." Ness muttered.

"Well who's ready to start this?" Popo asked.

Everyone just raised their hands. "Lucario, the controllers please!" Red said. "Choose the first four who get to start!"

Lucario just nodded and grabbed the controllers. He then noticed that three seemed a lot lighter than one of them.

"Um…" Popo muttered. "Did we get batteries?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Their calm looks were quickly replaced with panic and they began to scramble around. Luckily since this was a new Wii, and 3 new Wii remotes, they just had to check the garbage for the batteries.

They all breathed a quick sigh of relief and collapsed on the couch once again. This time Lucario handed out the remotes to Lucas, Popo, Red and kept one for himself.

"Looks like we are the first rotation!" Claus laughed. Ness however didn't look too pleased.

"Lets start with Mario Kart!" Lucas suggested. They all nodded and after Red put in the disk they began to play.
