The Simpson Smash Bros.

The SSBM stars fill in for the cast of "The Simpsons."

I don't own either the Simpsons or SSBM.

Director: Okay, Mr. Groening is on his vacation today.

(cut to a shot of Matt Groening in a dark room covered with cockroaches, screaming)

Director: .so we need people to fill in for his crude drawings.

Cameraman: Can't we just show a rerun?

Director: Of course not, think what this fanfiction would be like if that happened!

(pause while cameraman thinks for a moment, then grimaces)

Cameraman: You've made a point. Who do we con into doing this?

Director: I have an idea.

(Later, in the Smash Lounge, which coincidentally looks exactly like the Trophy Lottery room with sodas and snack machines and chairs, the Smashers are enjoying their spare time.)

Ness: (yawns) I'm bored. Anyone mind if I turn on the tube?

Link: What's on?

Ness: Let's see.

(The TV bursts on. Ness flips to the station that the Simpsons are normally on, but this message appears: "The Simpsons have been canceled for today. Instead, watch this infomercial starring Richard Simmons!")

Captain Falcon: NOOOOOOOOO! Infomercial! Get away from MEEEE! (runs screaming from the room.)

("Oof!" is heard just outside the door.)

Link looks outside. He sees Falcon sprawled next to the director of The Simpsons.

Link: Who are you?

Director: I am the director of The Simpsons. You don't, perchance, watch that show, do you?

Link: Do I ever! (to the Smashers in the Lounge:) Hey guys! Come out here! The Simpsons director is here!

(The Smashers crowd around him, voicing admiration, jealousy, and, mostly, anger.)

Bowser: I'll teach you to cancel The Simpsons! Why you little- (starts choking director)

Director: Aaaack!

Ganondorf: Bowser, stop that!

(Bowser loosens his grip.)

(Ganondorf starts to strangle the director too.)

Ganondorf: Now, Bowser, please continue.

(The two continue to strangle the director until he manages to utter a few words.)

Director: Need. people. fill. in. for. Simpsons.

(All of the Smashers let out a collective gasp, then, all is silent. Ganondorf and Bowser have even let go of the director.)

Mewtwo: What you say!

Ness: All your base are belong to us!. I mean, just because you're a cat, Mewtwo, doesn't mean you have to talk like CATS.

Mewtwo: Oh.

Link: Still, what did the director say? I missed it over the collective gasp.

Director: Never mind. Come with me and I'll take you to the Simpsons set.

(The Smashers follow him.)

Director: OK. Here we are.

(The Smashers look around in amazement. The set is the fanciest thing they have ever seen in their entire lives.)

Director: Now, let's get you briefed and suited up!

END CHAPTER 1

Next Chapter: The Smashers get assigned to the various characters! Review, telling me which character should be which, and I'll pick what I think are the best ones.
