Christmas was almost here. The whole mansion was positively decked out in decorations, and even now the others were still decorating: Link was hanging colorful stockings over the fireplace, Isabelle was adorning the foyer with garlands, and while Rosalina, Ness, Lucas, Toon Link and the other young smashers were decorating the Christmas tree, Luma joyfully as the star on top, Ivysaur and Piranha Plant were placing potted Poinsettias on the windowsills. I was having a chat with Zelda and Daisy when suddenly Peach came by and dragged me away.

"H-hey! Peach, what are you doing…?" I barely managed to say as she continued to push me down the hall.

"Oh it's awful! Pichu got his head stuck between the balusters! Please, you have to help the poor dear!" said Peach. Strangely enough, just as we got to the stairway, I spotted Palutena across the hall with Sheik in the same predicament as me.

"Sammy, you're here, too? My, what a coincidence!" gasped Palutena. "Oh well! Come, Peach, let's leave them be! Ta-ta!" And she and Peach both took off. There on the staircase was Pichu and Pikachu as cheerful as could be, holding a mistletoe right above our heads. Well, what do you know…

"You were in on it too, little buddy?" And right around the corner was Peach and friends all smiles and giggles. Sheik was having fun, it seemed, because she went along with it and kissed me for all to see. It was embarrassing, sure, but tell that to my happy grin.
