Marth sat up, stretched his arms, and then got out of bed, thoughts racing through his head about competing today in his new job today at the Super Smash Brothers Melee building.
Link yawned lazily and rolled out of bed, plopping almost lifelessly onto the ground below him. After about twenty minutes, he got up and smacked his lips, walking into the bathroom.
Chatter filled the air as the new and old employees sat around in the same red walled room. All sorts of creatures were roaming around; a pink marshmallow looking thing was waddling near the snack bar.
Marth almost leapt through the doors and shouted in a hearty tone, "Hello fellow employees!!" He beamed at everyone. No one turned. Marth's happy mood wasn't spoiled, not even when Link pushed his way through the doors and knocked against Marth's shoulder, glaring back at him as if Marth had meant to be in his way.
"Hey ladies!" Link said conceitedly, holding out his arms to the entire room, glancing at each one of the females, even Jigglypuff. He winked at Zelda and pouted his lips for a split second to her. Zelda giggled and blushed, prodding Peach while whispering in high-toned voices.
Marth walked up to the snack bar and grabbed a carrot stick, munching on it and staring around the room with a content smile.
Link walked up to the snack bar as well, and shouldered Marth out of the way, then grabbed a powdered doughnut and took a large bite off of it, making crumbs and powder fly everywhere, including Marth's dark blue material, stretched over his armor. Marth stopped and stared at Link, a little wide eyed. Link kept eating casually, then glanced over at Marth, just taking notice someone was looking at him. "What? Got a problem, Tiara-head?" Link asked in a punk tone, spewing saliva soaked bits of doughnut all over Marth's face.
Marth's brow furrowed and he said calmly (While wiping off his face), "I was just thinking–"
"Yeh', well I don't care what you think." Link said, and then walked over to Zelda, putting an arm around her and pulling her close, making her giggle.
Marth shrugged and walked over to the person in orange armor, leaning against the wall in the shadows. "Hello, sir! Nice to meet you. I'm new here and..." He trailed off as the person took off her helmet, revealing beautiful long brown hair and chocolaty eyes. Marth cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were a...guy..." Marth just realized how tall the woman in front of his happened to be.
"Forget it." The woman said easily, and then placed her helmet back on, leaning into the shadows once more.
"Um...alright, then." Marth said, feeling a little rejected. He smiled again as he turned to see all the people chatting away. He walked up to a girl with long golden hair, flaring up on the sides occasionally. He tried to think of something to compliment her on. "Beautiful pink dress you have there! My name is Marth, what's yours?" He asked, holding out a hand politely. The girl, who was talking with Zelda, stopped for a second, then looked at Marth's outstretched hand. She chewed her gum a few times, then spit it out, placing it in Marth's hand, and then went back to talking with Zelda.
Marth looked down at his hand and began to wonder...he shrugged, sighed, and walked over to the trash can anyway, catching some phrase from the girl like, "I like the new janitor's new style of clothes. That sort of medieval sword and armor look."
Sighing again, Marth looked around at the room. Everyone seemed to have found a partner to talk with just fine. Even his best friend Roy had pried his way into a conversation with a tall man in black armor. He nearly jumped out of his boots as a white glove parted the curtains, and then began to talk. "Hello, old and new employees! I hope you're all ready to start your first day in fighting," the large glove echoed. "Those of you who do not wish to fight, may go to the training area if you wish, but the top rule is that you may not leave work until you have fought at least once, that is what you were employed for! No cowardly acts." It boomed.
Marth's eye caught Link, who stood up and began punching the air with his gauntleted hands, then pulled out his sword and slashed the air professionally. He sheathed his sword and put his hands up in the air as almost half the crowd cheered and clapped. He sat back down as the glove continued. "I will now be introducing our new members." The glove picked up a tiny piece of paper and read it somehow. "Roy." He boomed throughout the room. Marth's best friend grinned cheesily and took a mock-conceited bow. The girls giggled. "Ice climbers." said the glove. Two midget Eskimo looking things smiled happily out to the crowd.
Marth heard Peach whisper in the silence, "Aww, they're so cute..."
"Ganondorf." The man in black armor whom Roy was talking to, glared menacingly over the crowd, and then swung his huge sword out, making people in the chairs duck, even though it was many feet above their head. "Marth." Marth grinned and unsheathed his sword, just to do something as the others had. He did a five-slash combo, which most of the creatures stared at. He felt very good when he finished and caught Peach wink at him.
Right before the glove continued, he heard Link shout out, "Hey, it's Tiara-boy!" Zelda giggled and leaned back against Link's chest while most of the crowd burst out laughing. Even Roy had to stifle a snigger.
