The Smash Mansion was used for Battling, commercialization, and money. But tonight, it wasn't.
Thanks to a proposal from Master Hand, the mansion had been turned from a fighting stadium to a party plaza.
There was loud music, dancing Smashers, tables filled with an enormous variety of food, and blindingly bright lights.
Everyone was having a good time.
Everyone but Link.
The Hylian stood there with a plastic cup in his hand, dressed in a black three-piece suit with a red tie.
He had an issue. An issue that involved a romantic dance with a special someone, that certainly wasn't happening anytime soon.
Link was standing to the side of the enormous room full of partying Smashers and Assist Trophies. Everyone was there. Even Master and Crazy.
Link sighed and looked at his watch. They were late.
He was waiting for a couple people to come to his rescue, who would hopefully cure his lonely heart.
Maybe this was a bad idea.. intrusive thoughts ran through his head.
"Hey. Sorry we're late."
Link looked up at his approaching company.
Too late now..
Walking towards him were his friends, Captain Falcon, Samus Aran, Peach Toadstool, and Sonic Hedgehog, all dressed in expensive, hot attire.
Link felt a bit bad for asking them to do so much for him during a party, but if he ever had a chance with this person, tonight was the night.
"Are ya ready?" Captain Falcon asked, with that charming smile he always wore.
"Yeah. I think." A nervous Link replied.
What was he ready for exactly? It had all started a while ago, but wasn't put into action until just a day ago.
The day before
Ever since Link had first gotten into the Smash Mansion, he was looked upon as the Savior of Hyrule and Princess Zelda. People often asked if the two Hylian were dating.
Link, however, had feelings for someone else. Someone who he talked to on a daily basis, and shared a lot in common with.
Marth Lowell.
With his soft eyes and complexion, and his dark, silky hair, he was enough to make any girl fall in love with just a look. Unknowingly, His beauty also worked on Link.
And even though they were close friends, Link didn't want to risk losing the friendship they possessed over a stupid crush.
That's when the others came into play.
They all somehow managed to figure out about Link's feeling towards the prince and vowed to not tell a soul, but also help him out.
"So you guys really think you can help me..?" A troubled Link asked his friends at one of the tables in the cafeteria.
"Sure we can. We just need to figure out when and how." Falcon stated.
"What about the big party coming up?" Samus suggested, "that would be a good time."
"Oh! That's a great idea!" Peach chimed in, "As long as no one else decides to ask him to dance."
"That's how we could help," Sonic spoke up, "we could do whatever we possibly can to make this the perfect night more Link."
"You've always done so much for us, Link. Let us return the favor." Peach said endearingly.
Link sighed, propping his head on his hands.
"I mean, don't you guys think it'll go horribly wrong?"
"But we want to. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?" Samus pointed out, before sipping from her juice box.
"Alright, if you guys say so... thanks."
They had all come up with multiple plans on what to do to get Marth and Link closer.
If someone asked Marth to dance, Peach would request to change the music so that it wasn't dancing material.
Someone would stand watch by the bathroom, so if Marth went in, they could swap out with Link, so that the Hylian was the first person Marth saw when he came out.
If Marth came by the snack table, someone would be there to alert Link so that he could join him.
There were a couple other plans, but they probably wouldn't come into play.
They were ready. There was just one thing missing.
"So what should we call ourselves?" Sonic asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, every epic team has a super cool name!"
They all thought about this.
"How about the ultra squad?" Samus suggested dryly.
"Nahhh... although that does sound cool, it's gotta be longer, like The Super Mega Squad."
"Oh, how about that The Friendship Squad?" Peach asked, receiving a couple disgusted looks.
"Guys, does it really matter?" Samus asked, annoyed,
"Yes it does! It absolutely matters!" Sonic protested
"Okay! How about The Super Mega Ultra Friendship Squad!-" Peach was cut off by Falcon.
"Hold up. Me and Sam are more then friends at this point, so I feel like it's wrong to call us something we're not."
"Whatever, The Super Mega Ultra Friendship Squad With Benefits." Samus finally said.
After some consideration, they all decided that it was good enough.
So here they were, putting their plan to action.
Link then realized that his chances with the Prince could very well be ruined by the 'Super Mega Ultra Friendship Squad with Benefits", but at the same time, he couldn't do it without them.
All he could really do was trust them.
"Alright, since I'm one of the head council members here, I can have complete control over the music. So You guys will have to tell me when to request a slow dance." Peach started, glimmering in her puffy pink ball gown-like dress.
"Right. And in the meantime, we have to get Link and Marth closer together. Link has a better chance of asking to dance with him that way." Samus included. She was wearing a tight red sleeveless dress.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Link asked nervously.
"Yes. And if it doesn't? Non of us will ever be able to show our faces here again." Sonic answered sarcastically.
"Guess that's a risk we're all willing to take, since there's no really going back now." Sighed Falcon, "right. Let's get to it. Sonic, you'll stand watch at the restrooms, me and Samus will prevent anyone from dancing with him when the time comes and stay near the refreshments table, and Peach will stay near the music stand. We all have our microphones behind our ears in case of emergencies, right? Right. Link, go get him."
Link blushed a bit, before waving to them and merging into the crowd of Smashers.
It was a living hell trying to find the Prince.
Everywhere he looked, there were just Assist Trophies and Smashers.
There!
He spotted the prince talking to Cloud and Incineroar.
How was he going to get him on his own? But then he remembered that he had a backup crew for this very reason.
He already saw Samus and Falcon exchanging looks. And before he knew it, they were coming from behind him.
"Hey, Cloud!" Captain Falcon greeted, catching the Swordsman off guard.
"Uh, hey."
"Could I ask you about your attacks and how you use your sword? It's incredible.."
He talked on as Cloud slowly lost interest in Marth and walked away with him.
"Incineroar! Can I ask you a few questions? Like what's it like to be one of millions of Pokémon to of made it into Smash.." Samus started.
Now that Incineroar was gone, it was just the two of them.
Thanks guys.
"Hey... Marth.."
The prince turned his curious gaze towards the Hylian.
"Oh, hey Link."
Gosh he's cute.
"I was uh.. wondering.. would you maybe want to.."
Shit, what am I doing? What do I say? I can't just ask him to dance with me now.. shit, Shit SHIT-
"Talk about how we can both improve on the battle grounds?.."
The question, thankfully, seemed to grab Marth's attention, and he smiled.
"Sure!"
Link exhaled a sigh of relief, as the Prince talked on.
It must've been a least thirty minutes, until Marth had to excuse himself to use the restroom.
Link smiled at him as he went, then immediately turned around.
"Guys! There is no need to have me swap out with Sonic. Things are going pretty good so far, and he's coming back to me afterwards. Repeat, don't try to swap me out with Sonic."
There was silence on the other end of the microphone and then came Samus' reply.
"Aight."
Link was surprised. This was oddly going according to plan.
"Hey Everyone!" Called the Squid Sisters from the DJ stand, "Were going to take it slow now, so grab and partner and enjoy!"
Until it wasn't.
Where is Marth? He's either not back yet or with someone else? Where are the others?
Link started panicking, but before he could panic any more, a hand grabbed his shoulder.
"Hey Link! Care for a dance?"
Zelda.
"Uh... sure.."
What else could he say to the Princess. He would need to find Marth later.
Zelda led Link to the enormous dance floor, now covered in slow dancing Smashers and their partners.
Of course, they were being watched by the two bounty hunters.
"Douglas," Samus started, "We gotta do something."
Falcon then reached out a hand to her.
"Care for a dance?"
She smirked at him and accepted his offer.
"Gladly."
Link wasn't having a horrible time with the Princess of Hyrule, she was a good dancer, she looked beautiful, and she was overall a really nice person, there was just one thing wrong.
She wasn't Marth.
The two Hylians spun amongst the others, all swaying and spinning to the music.
Fortunately, Falcon and Samus were near by, getting ready for the switch.
If they had calculated correctly, when the switch came, Falcon would snatch up Daisy before she had the chance to get Marth, and Samus would grab Rosalina, who was supposed to get Link.
That way, it was just the Prince and the Hylian.
The music sped up a bit. Samus spun into Falcon arms as they approached Link and Zelda. Marth was in sight.
Three. Two. One.
The switch hit, but before Rosalina could switch to Link, Samus swung herself in the way and took Rosalina away.
Falcon mimicked the move with Daisy, which left Link face to face with the Prince.
Marth only smiled at him, causing Link to blush.
Unfortunately, since the switch up didn't go as it was supposed to, there was multiple confused Smashers, stumbling about. Samus being one of them.
Rosalina went off with Bowser, Leaving Samus a bit confused. She made her way off the dance floor, but bumped into Krystal and Fox in doing so.
"Watch it." Came Fox's snappy reply.
"Uh, sorry."
She scooted her way off, seeing Falcon having similar difficulties.
She the gazed towards Link and his companion. If she was correct, there wasn't going to be another switch off for the rest of the song. And there was a decent amount of it left. They would be dancing for a while.
This is great, but where the hell are Peach and Sonic?
Sonic was supposed to leave his post near the restrooms, but where was he now? And was Peach the one who had suddenly changed the music on them?
"Hey," Captain Falcon had finally freed himself and was now next to her, "are you wondering the same thing I am?"
"Yep."
That's when Samus saw it.
A banana peel, probably left from Donkey Kong, on the dance floor, threatening to create some sort of disaster.
And it was right next to Link and his Prince.
Shit.
Samus searched around for ways to avoid the situation, but came to only one conclusion.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
And with that, Samus bolted, surprising Falcon.
It was difficult to run in heels, but she managed, aiming her hand downwards.
She had only one chance to get this right.
And she would.
Link smiled at the Prince, and began to make his move.
"Hey, so um-"
Samus zipped past them, blowing their hair to the side.
"Who was that?" Marth asked, looking for the cause.
"I-I have no idea." Link said, sweating. Maybe now wasn't the best time to ask the Prince out.
Samus, on the other hand, managed to grab the banana peel, and steer clear from disaster.
Unfortunately, she was going too fast, and was immediately stopped when she bashed into the refreshments table.
It slammed powerfully into her gut, as she let out a painful gagging noise, then sagged onto the table.
Sadly, her voice traveled through the tiny hidden microphones, and echoed loudly out of Link's.
"AURGH-"
Link flinched against the loud noise, which apparently Marth heard as well.
"What was that?" Marth's curious eyes asked him.
"I uh.. I don't know! Probably just one of the other Smashers.."
Marth seemed okay with this answer, and dropped the situation.
The song ended.
Marth and Link split up, and went their separate ways.
"Guys. Guys! Marth and I have separated! Do you copy?"
Link asked impatiently into his microphone.
There was silence.
Some of the other Smashers and Assist Trophies were whispering about the racket Samus had caused, and glancing over at her once and a while.
Captain Falcon was one of the many to notice her miscalculation, and ran over.
"Are you okay?!"
All Samus could do was lay there limply, not even bothering to respond.
Almost all of the beverages and foods were now sprawled out on the ground, creating a horrible mess.
Finally, a feeling other then pain came to Samus and she spoke.
"Do I look okay, bitch?"
Falcon sighed in relief, now knowing that she was fine, and bent down to help her up.
"Here, let's go get you some ice."
"No time." Samus managed to grumble, "Link is separated from Marth.. we gotta do something.."
"Sam..."
"Douglas, I'll be fine." Samus reassured, clutching her bruised middle. "What we need to be now is find out where Marth went, and also where Peach and Sonic are."
Falcon looked at her concerned, but obeyed.
"Fine. I think I saw Peach over by the DJs booth. And sonic by one of non-destroyed food tables. Marth? I have no clue."
"Right, you take Sonic, I'll take Peach."
"Why, have you got a plan?" The Captain smirked at her.
She returned his sly smile, "I've got a little something up my sleeve. I'll tell everyone while I find Peach."
He nodded at her, then ran off to find the speedy hedgehog.
She made her way through a crowd, clicking on her microphone.
"Hey, guys. I have a new plan-"
"What the hell was that noise?!" Came Link's unnecessary loud rely.
"Just me having a small hold-up. Nothing major.."
She heard Falcon scoff on the other side of the microphone.
"Hey guys!" Peach finally joined the conversation.
"Oh good, Peach. Im headed your way now. Does anyone know if Sonic is here?"
"Yep." Came the hedgehogs reply.
"Okay, here's the plan.."
The 'plan' went something like this:
Peach requested some wild-ass song p, and the dance floor would fill up.
That would leave most of the rest of the mansion pretty much empty.
That was Link's moment to pull Marth aside and spend some time with him.
It was up to Sonic to keep the crowd at bay on the dance floor.
The others would sit back and watch as the plan unraveled perfectly.
Once Samus reached Peach, it was go time.
Peach walked up to the Squid Sisters, and leaned over to whisper.
"Hey, can I request a song...?
The music slowly turned from a lower instrumental piece to an up-beat pop.
And even though Samus didn't like the music, it seemed to be working.
Tons of Smashers started piling onto the dance floor, as bright blinding lights flashed around from the ceiling.
"Great, the plan is working. Link, try to find Marth."
"Right."
The Hylian began his search for the Prince, which thankfully didn't last long, as he was over by the spilled refreshments table, examining it.
"Hey, Marth!" He greeted.
"Oh hey, Link! Any idea what happened here?"
Link thought about telling the prince, but also thought about how angry Samus would be if he did, so he lied.
"No idea! Hey, it's getting pretty loud in here, wanna head somewhere else?"
Marth looked surprised by his suggestion, but agreed. "It is a little bit too exciting.. where should we go?"
"I think I know a place."
Link led Marth over to the balcony that hung from the mansion, overlooking a beautiful landscape.
Captain Falcon watched them go, then smiled.
"The main goal had been accomplished, and the plan worked. Link is with Marth on the balcony."
"Oh thank god-" Sonic was cut off by an elbow to the side.
"Ouch! The hell was that for?"
He turned only to come face to face with MegaMan.
"Oops. My bad." MegaMan lamely apologized.
"Dude, that hurt!"
"Well, not my fault you're so short."
"What was that?.."
"All I'm saying is that you're smaller then me, so I didn't see you. That's why I accidentally hit you."
The next few seconds involved Sonic flipping MegaMan off, and the the two of them leaping onto each other, throwing a series of kicks and punches.
A number of Fighters saw this opportunity, and decided to join in, socking each other in the faces.
Samus turned her head, hearing the noise, and frowned.
"Well that's not good."
Peach followed her gaze.
"Wha- oh.. someone should probably stop them."
"No, no. When Master Hand feels the need to stop it, he will. But in the meantime, we can just sit back and watch."
The balcony was a bit breezy, but the cold air was refreshing from being inside the whole time.
The two men stood next to each other, gazing around the beautiful property. The sky was dark, all except a sprinkle of stars splayed around.
"Wow.. this is beautiful.." Marth mused.
"Yeah.. agreed."
This is really the only chance I've got. If I don't do it now, I'll never do it. Just tell him how you feel.
"Hey Marth?"
"Yeah?"
"I've got something to tell you.."
The prince looked towards him, his big curious eyes sparkling amongst the stars. It was hard to remove your eyes from his once you were looking.
"I-I actually have been wanting to tell you this for a while now, but I've just never been able to figure out how to say it.."
Before he knew how to finish, Link had the Prince's soft lips against his.
"I've been wanting to tell you for some time now too.." Marth whispered against the Hylian's lips, before separating.
The Hylian grew flustered, trying to figure out what to say, but it seemed as if his words had left him. "r-really..?"
Marth nodded, cupping Link's face with a hand.
"Yeah.. I just didn't know wether you felt the same or not..."
Link straightened up, "I-I was having the same problem... "
The two just sat there, and then fell into a quiet laughter.
Link then leaned back, admiring the sky once more.
"You're smiling.. what are you looking at?" The curious Prince wondered.
"I'm looking at the stars and thinking of how they remind me of your eyes.."
This caught Marth off guard, reddening his face. Then he followed the Hylain's gaze.
The Hylian and the Prince were quiet for about ten minutes before Link spoke again.
"We should probably head inside. The others are probably wondering where we are.."
"Yeah..." Marth agreed, sleepily. His head had been resting on Link's shoulder.
Link then turned towards the door, leading Marth back inside by the hand.
While they walked in, they talked to each other animatedly, talking about the times when they almost came close to busting their secret feeling for each other.
However, they stopped when their sights were met with a huge crowd of fighting Smashers, trying to be split up by a furious Master Hand.
Link spotted Samus, Falcon, and Peach over by the DJ stand, leaning against the wall. He guided Marth over to them.
"Hey guys.. uh, what's going on..?"
"Sonic started a fight with MegaMan on the dance floor, and then pretty much everyone joined in.." Samus replied cooly, "oh, but look. Master Hand is about to end the party."
The giant Hand made his way up to the DJ stand, and grabbed a microphone.
"Everyone shut the hell up! The party is over! Get off the dance floor, and stop trying to kill each other! Jesus!"
This seemed to get the Smashers attention, because they all slowly began to file off of the dance floor, and out of the room.
"Great, now who's gonna pick of after this enormous party I threw.."
The only Smashers left in the room threw him dirty glances.
"Alright, alright. I'll do it... tomorrow!"
And with that, the giant hand crawled out of the room, leaving the small group of Smashers.
The next morning, The Super Mega Ultra Friendship Squad with Benefits were all in the common room, with their new addition, Marth.
"So you two are going out now? That's so sweet!" Peach cooed.
Link rubbed the back of his neck bashfully, but Marth only smiled.
"Yep."
"Ugh, can't believe that was a whole night wasted!" Samus complained jokingly. The huntress was on the couch with Captain Falcon, holding an ice pack against her now very bruised gut.
"It wasn't a complete waste," the Racer spoke up, "you and I got to be together for most of it."
Samus thought about this, and then agreed.
"Yeah I guess you're right." She admitted, leaning against Falcon's shoulder.
"Aw, I feel bad for Sonic though.." Peach pitied.
"Ya shouldn't. He was the one that started that fight to begin with." Falcon spoke up.
Suddenly, the hedgehog made his way into the common room.
He had bandages and bandaids smacked onto his face and basically everywhere else.
He then grumbled something that non of them could hear, and slouched onto a beanbag in the corner of the room.
"How was your night sleeping beauty-"
"Shut up."
There was silence before Link broke it.
"Well, we should probably go.. we've uh.. got a lot planned tonight."
"Oh! Like a date night?" Peach asked excitedly.
"Uh, yeah!" The Hylian flushed, but then practically passed out when the Prince placed a small kiss on his cheek.
"Yep, it's a date night." He smiled at them.
"Well I hope you two have fun!" Peach said excitedly
"I hope it was all worth it!" Samus called after them as they left.
