Happy Birthday Samus!
This was chapter two. Reading through this again... it's not as bad as I thought it would be! Hahaha... well, enjoy...
The Accident
Marth walked into the Study Rooms, searching for Peach. Master Hand had fully accommodated them, with almost everything they needed in the Center. Sure enough, Marth spotted Peach sitting in front of a computer, typing furiously.
"What 'ya doing?" Marth asked, bending over behind Peach's shoulder.
"I'm making little name tag thingies, so people know where to sit." She replied happily. Marth was glad to hear that she was just as devoted to pleasing Samus and making her day perfect as he was.
"Great, print out a few copies, we can use them for games and raffle draws, too." Marth asked. Peach nodded, and pressed in '5' copies to be printed of each person's name.
All of a sudden, Captain Falcon burst into the room, cake smeared across his face and clothes. Marth and Peach jumped, and Peach's elbow hit the keyboard, adding a few extra 0's to her 5 copies, and making it 500,000,000.
"Marth, come quick!" He screamed at them.
"Why? What's happened?" Marth asked, dreading what he was about to hear.
"It's Kirby and Yoshi, they strapped dynamite to Zelda's cake, and it's gone EVERYWHERE!" C. Falcon yelled frantically. He turned on his heel and ran out, wailing like a school girl.
Marth swore loudly and followed C. Falcon out of the room. Peach, unthinkingly, hit the enter key for the computer to print, and dashed after him.
When they reached the Grand Hall, Marth let out a cry of despair and Peach clapped her hand over her mouth.
The walls were splattered with pink icing and cream, the ground was covered in burst balloons and tangled banners. Tables had been turned up, boxes and crates strewn carelessly all over the place, and people were getting up from the ground in a daze. At the far end, Yoshi was unconscious on the ground at Zelda's feet, who had Kirby in a headlock and was punching him repeatedly.
"YOU LITTLE FUCKING (uh-muh...) PESTS! FLEAS! WASTE! YOU RUINED SAMUS'S PARTY, YOU RUINED ALL THE DECORATIONS! AND, WORST OF ALL-" She drew and enormous breath, and pinned the pink puffball against the wall in fury.
She punched him, SMACK!
"YOOOOOOU-"
SMACK!
"-RUUUUINED-"
SMACK!
"-MYYYYY-"
SMACK!
"-CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!"
SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!!
Marth gasped and ran over to her, pulling her away from a now half-conscious, black-and-blue Kirby.
"Zelda! Let... (gasp) ...him... (gasp)... go!" Math gasped (lol), struggling to restrain a fuming Zelda. "ZELDA!"
Zelda's punches slowed, and she fell to the ground in a heap, sobbing ecstatically. "M-m-my... b-b-beautiful... c-c-cake..." She blubbered.
"It's okay, Zel," Peach said. "We'll just bake another cake... or... or buy one." Zelda looked at her as though she was a dirty big rat that had crept into her spotless bedroom ¬¬. Peach sighed and turned to Marth. "Marth, why don't you take a break, and go and get the cake." Peach sighed.
Ness giggled beside her rather crazily. "Bleehee, you rhymed!" He pointed and started to laugh even more insanely, but then flew through the nearest window when Peach's fist connected with his face. Oo
"As I was saying," She continued, dusting off her hands. "Marth, go and get the cake, we'll have this cleaned up before you get back, won't we?" She added, throwing a dirty look at Kirby, Yoshi and Zelda, who flushed. Marth nodded, and floated off, still in a daze and unbelieving that all his hard work had been ruined by this...
"Daisy, how on earth can you afford this?" Samus half-laughed, half-gasped. Daisy giggled, and chucked another expensive gown onto the counter. The two people serving them, which happened to be Jesse and James, from Pokemon (O.o), looked at them in shock, not believing that anyone could afford such expensive clothing.
"Jesse, I think we've run into a couple of deep-pockets!" James screamed gleefully as he scanned the tags.
"I think you're right, James! The boss will be happy with us!" Jesse replied, beaming.
"Well, when I sold off my castle," Daisy continued, ignoring Jesse and James' happy cries. "It didn't exactly sell cheap!" Daisy said with a chuckle. "Which is quite surprising, really..." She added, more to herself than Samus.
"Oh, these are so beautiful..." Samus said as she stared intently at the sparkling golden gown she had chosen. "I can't wait for Marth to see me in this..." Daisy suddenly had an idea, she wanted Samus to look her best when she arrived at her party.
"Samus, why don't you wear it back to the Smash Center, give everyone a little shock, huh?" Daisy asked, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
"Oh, great idea, Daisy!" Samus said, beaming. "So are we going home after this, then?"
"Er..." Daisy stuttered. If she wore the dress, they'd have to go home rather quickly in case it ripped or got dirty... "Well, there are just a few more shops I'd like to visit, but you can wear it, we'll go back right after, I promise!"
The two girls smiled, and they bounced out of the store, throwing wads of cash behind them at Jesse and James, who were screaming in delight as they grovelled along the floor seizing the money, stashing it in their pockets/bags/mouths and rolling around in glee.
Daisy had led Samus towards a strip of small shops, outside of Zippies and down the street to a little area that was surrounded with small shops, like cafés and little stores that sold bits and pieces.
They stopped in front of yet another clothes shop (how many clothes can a woman have?!) for a look at a top Daisy had wanted.
"Aww, that would look so cute on you, Daisy." Samus said, admiring the small yellow top. Daisy smiled, but then she felt something jabbing her leg. She turned around to see a Goomba humping her leg.
"Not again..." Daisy mumbled, and slapped it away. When she looked up, she saw there was a cake stall behind her. She thought of taking Samus in there, but then gasped when she saw Marth walking in.
"What's wrong?" Samus asked her, almost turning around and seeing her boyfriend walking in to the cake shop.
"Uhhm... nothing, just a horny Goomba..." Daisy said quickly, jumping in front of Samus. "Let's go in here, shall we?" She ushered Samus into the shop and pushed her to the very back.
"Stay here..." She ordered her.
"Why? What's wrong?" Samus asked, a little worried now.
"N-nothing... just... er... these are your size, aren't they?" Daisy said, snatching the closet dress and shoving it into Samus's arms. "Why don't you try this on?" Daisy asked her.
Samus looked down at the ugly, frilly frock Daisy had giver her. "Erm... Daisy?"
"Take these, too!" Daisy squealed, shoving yet more clothes into Samus's arms. "Try them on, go on!" Samus frowned and walked into the change rooms. As soon as she was out of sight, Daisy immediately spun on her heel and ran over to the shop window. Looking over the top of her sunglasses, she watched as Marth pointed to one of many cakes on the shelves. It was an enormous, orange, yellow and pink cake, with several layers and 'Happy Birthday' written around the sides in glistening white icing. Daisy was suddenly hungry.
"How do I look?"
Daisy spun around to see Samus wearing a pair of tight blue jeans and a white top with a smiley face in the middle.
"Oh, they're great! You should buy them..." Daisy cheered, turning Samus's gaze away from the cake shop towards the person behind the counter (Which was Paula, from Earthbound, by the way Oo).
While Samus was buying the clothes, Daisy returned to her position by the window. Marth was asking the shop owner (Hermione Granger... O.o wait a sec, she's not from Nintendo!) to do something. Hermione then zapped the cake with her wand and made the white icing re-write itself, now spelling 'Happy Birthday, Samus!'.
"What are you looking at?" Samus was standing right next to Daisy, peering out the tinted window.
"No!" Daisy yelped as she threw herself at Samus, knocking her to the ground.
They lay there for a while, both their eyes wide. Then, Samus spoke.
"Erm... Daisy... what the hell did you just tackle me for?" She asked, confused. Daisy gulped, and Paula giggled from somewhere behind them.
"I... er... thought I saw a Goomba... on your back..." She replied, and uttered a nervous laugh. Samus frowned and picked herself up. Glancing out the window, Daisy saw that Marth had already left in the time that she and Samus had been on the floor.
Daisy jumped up, and brushed herself off. "Well," She said, smiling and pretending that she didn't do what she just did. "I think I've seen enough shops for one day. Howza bout we go for a coffee somewhere?"
"There," sighed Peach, as she straightened the very last banner once again. The floors were spotless, the walls were glimmering with cleanliness and the tables had been wiped and tipped back up. Everything was exactly the way, if not, better than, it was before the... er... explosion incident.
Peach turned around to face everyone. "Now, I don't want anyone to do anything stupid, that is to say; no fighting, jumping, dancing, exploding, stealing or running around in here. If anyone disobeys me, I will personally see to it that you are sitting in the hospital wing in a bed with at least twelve broken bones, just like Kirby, Yoshi and Ness. Got it?" Everyone nodded, a few people whimpered. "Good."
All of a sudden, the doors flew open. Everyone gasped and turned, thinking Samus had arrived early. However, Y'Link, Popo and Nana appeared from behind the doors. The three kids were hoping that everyone would be too busy to notice them when they returned, and thought they could easily slip in and out through the hustle and bustle. But, as they stood dead still staring terrified at the group of trembling Smashers, and, in front of them all (And looking the most violent and furious), Peach, they realized they were terribly wrong.
"Where have you three been?" She screamed at them. The Ice Climbers backed away a little, so Peach fixed her Gaze of Death upon Y'Link.
"W-w-we just... er... went out to get some p-p-party games equipment." He wailed, avoiding Peach's eyes, afraid he may turn to stone if he met her gaze.
Peach's eyes turned red and her hair became a flaming mass of red fire, like Hermes from Hercules Oo.
"Games equipment?!" Peach roared, looking horrified. "You were planning to play games while we worked our arses off for this party!?"
"N-no! Of course not!" Y'Link squealed, looking utterly terrified. "Marth just said we could do the g-g-games, that's all... we had to..."
Peach just let out a cry of fury and stomped off, leaving them all standing there in shock. As she turned the corner, however, she smacked straight into Roy.
"Gyaah!" He yelped as he toppled to the floor once more.
"Roy!" Peach gasped, her maddened expression softening, and becoming aware that her hair was on fire Oo. She screamed and patted her head frantically to put out the flame. "Oh my god, Roy, I'm so sorry!" She said, squatting down to help him up.
"I'm... fine... ouch... just a sore back, that's all." He rubbed his aching back again, and Peach stood behind him. Wrapping her arms around his waist, she lifted him to his feet.
"Why are you out of bed? You should be resting..." Peach told Roy, straightening him up.
"I came to see if everything was all right, I feel so useless sitting in that bed..." Roy mumbled, rubbing his head while he leaned on his crutches.
"Oh, no, it's okay." Peach said sympathetically. "You have a good reason to not help, and I'd rather you stay in bed. We're practically done, already, anyway." She added, although she wasn't sure that was entirely true.
"Well, okay then..." Roy murmured. He turned and hobbled off to the Hospital Wing once more. Peach stared after him and sighed. What a cutie, she thought to herself. Sure, she had been with Mario now for years, but he was just getting old and cranky, and nothing exciting happened with him anymore, she just ended up getting kidnapped again. When she was with Mario, she was in danger, even their last vacation had turned violent. If she was with Roy, things might be different...
She jumped when she heard something smash from the Great Hall, but sighed with relief when she realised it was only Ness being thrown out of another window. Nothing too serious...
Suddenly, Marth walked in, clutching a large box that had 'Hermione's Cakes' written on the lid. He almost dropped it when he saw what a great job Peach and the others had done at cleaning the place up.
"Welcome back," grumbled Peach as she greeted him. She had returned to her grumpy tone as soon as she entered the room, she had just yelled at Ganondorf and Mewtwo after they decided to have a thumb-war. Oo
"Hi, what's wrong?" Marth asked, not seeing how anything could be wrong when everything looked so... so... perfect...
"Well," Peach started. "Did you ask Y'Link and the Ice Climbers to prepare the games?" She asked, a little annoyed at Marth's choice.
"Er, well... I never actually asked them, but, yeah, they are doing games. Why, did they do something?" Marth queried (Hehe... queried... I've used 'asked' too many times, so this'll have to do).
Peach looked over at Popo, who was carting a box labeled 'FIREWORKS' through the hall. "Let us hope," Peach said as she watched him enter the kitchens. "That nothing else goes horribly wrong." Marth smiled, and then looked at Peach once more. "Well, should we give Daisy a call?" He questioned (haha, questioned... Oo ahem...). Peach smiled back.
"Sure," She said. "Let's hurry before someone blows something up."
"Well, I'm sorry, it's just that I seriously thought I remembered you telling me that you were allergic to Goomba bites!" Daisy told Samus as she took a sip of her cappuccino. Hopefully, Samus wouldn't notice her lie.
"Well, okay then. At least now you know not to jump on me next time you see one." Samus said, making both girls laugh at what had just happened in the shop a few minutes ago.
Suddenly, Daisy's phone rang. The familiar 'Mario Bros. 2' ring tone sounded from her handbag, and as she reached into her bag, she looked at who was calling her before she answered. It was Peach.
"Hello, Daisy speaking..." She sang into her phone (She didn't really sing, it's just a happier word for said, OKAY?)
"Daisy, it's me, Peach!" Peach's voice came from the phone.
"Oh, hi, Peach!" Daisy cheered into the phone in a fake tone, just to let Samus know whom it was she was talking to. "How are ya, hun?"
"I'm good, Daisy. So then, if you can... come back here A.S.A.P., okay? We're ready."
"Oh, I don't think that'll be as hard as you think..." Daisy sighed. She was relieved she could finally take Samus home, she was exhausted.
"Great, I'll see you soon, then."
"Okay, buh-bye!" She hung up.
"What did Peach want?" Samus asked, resting her elbows on the table and staring curiously at Daisy.
"Oh, she just wanted me to return her sunglasses." Daisy lied, and sniggered at her quick thinking.
"Oh, I thought I saw those sunnies you're wearing somewhere before!" Samus laughed. All of a sudden, Daisy remembered that the sunglasses she was wearing were actually, in truth, Peach's. She snapped her fingers in disappointment and made a mental note to return them when they got to the Smash Center.
"Well, should we head off, then?" Daisy said with a sigh. "I'll walk you back to the Center, if you like."
The two set out towards the Smash Center. Jumping on a bus, they gave the bus driver (Which just happened to be Talon, from The Legend of Zelda: OoT) some money, and then sped off down the street towards the Smashers HQ.
Well, if you've got this far than it couldn't have been that bad. May as well keep going... eh? :)
