Eventually, everyone had gotten off the boat, and they were all strolling off to Peach's castle. Summer had managed to hitch a ride on Jigglypuff.
"Puff-Jiggly-puff puff," the pink puffy poofball commented. Zelda turned to Mewtwo, who sighed.
"She said 'don't expect me to do the same for you.'"
Link and Zelda exchanged glances, and grinned.
"WHEN ARE WE GONNA EAT?!" Bowser and Gannodorf shouted.
"Geez, hold your horses," Peach said.
"I don't have a horse," Bowser replied.
Peach rolled her eyes. "That was a baaaad joke, Bowser."
"I wasn't joking. I don't have a horsie."
Peach gave him a look, then said, "We'll be eating breakfast in my castle as soon as we arrive."
"YAAAYY!!" Bowser and Ganon cheered.
"Hey Peach," Zel said.
"Yeah?"
"I don't want you too be as miserable as you were last night. Would it be possible for you to sit with Link and me this morning?"
"SURE!" Peach erupted. Link and Zelda stared at her, and she blushed. "Heh, heh .sorry. But thanks, I will!"
There were many oohs and aahs from the smashers as they approached Peach's lovely palace.
"It's-a very beautiful, huh?" Mario asked.
"YES YES!" the ice climbers shouted, bouncing in perfect synchronization.
And with that, they all rushed up and into the building. They oohed and aahed at the interior decorating ("I just luuuv whatcha done wit yar room, dahlin,'" Zelda said in a weird accent). Summer was especially intrigued, having never been anywhere near Mushroom Kingdom before.
Finally, to Bowser and Ganon's pleasure, the smashers all sat down at the dining table (except for Falcon, who had been abandoned by Dr. Mario, and was still lying on the stretcher). Luigi pressed a button on the wall, and 30 Toads (waiter-like people) appeared out of nowhere and walked to him. The plumber whispered something to them in a huddle, and they all vanished to the kitchens.
"So have any changes been made in the tournaments this year, Peach?" Link asked, sitting down.
"Oh!" Peach exclaimed, almost tripping over her chair. "I completely forgot!" She clapped her hands for attention, and all her friends turned in her direction. "Linky here just reminded me.we have changed a couple rules of the melee tournament this year." They all waited for her to continue. "Some smashers thought it to be unfair that you could re-start games at any time you wanted-" Bowser, DK, and Ganon rolled their eyes and twiddled their thumbs "-so, contestants are no longer allowed to request a battle to start over until there is only one player remaining." Peach took a breath. "You are also no longer able to choose your opponents, team members, or battle grounds." There was an uproar.
"THAT'S LUNACY!" Samus shouted. "I COULD BE PLACED WITH MR. INVALID OVER THERE AT ANY TIME!!!" She indicated towards Falcon.
Peach grinned. "What a good idea. Mario, make note of that." Samus took off her helmet, and threw Peach an icy glare.
Then, the Toads returned, bearing enormous platters, and set them on the table. They hobbled off as quickly as they had appeared.
"FLAPJACKS!!!!" Ganon yelled, smiling hugely. He started funneling them into his mouth, with Marth and Roy giving him disapproving looks at his awful manners.
"Really," the Altean prince's friend said. "Instead of bellowing like a barbarian, you should say something more like, 'My gracious, how extraordinary, flapjacks!' A true gentleman never shouts."
Pikachu, who was walking towards the table (from the little mouse's room), caught a whiff of Captain Falcon. You must understand, the dear captain still smelled terrible after the whole poop deck affair. Covering his mouth, Pikachu ran to his seat. Gannondorf, who was turned and talking to Young Link, did not notice the pokemon vomit on his precious flapjacks. He turned around, and looked at Marth, who was staring back at him.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
The Altean prince hesitated before answering and turning back to his own foodstuff. "I wouldn't eat that if I were you." Ganon was confused.
"What's wrong with it, it's just a normal-" he finally looked down at his plate, and his eyes widened before he erupted. "OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!" (Plankton voice)
It was now Pikachu's turn to start whistling and twiddling his thumbs.
"Peach!" Ganon shouted. "Can I have some more flapjacks? This poopy pokemon threw up all over mine!!" Pikachu got very angry.
"PIKA -pi?! Chu-Pik!" he shouted. Mewtwo rolled his eyes.
"He said, 'I'm the poopy one? Look at Pooptain Falcon over there!'"
Ganon got some more flapjacks, and Pikachu calmed down.
"Ooh!" Summer whispered. "What's this?" She pointed down at her plate.
Zelda leaned over and said, "That's a-" her eyes widened. "LINK! LINK! LOOK, SHE'S GOT FROSTED FLAKES!!"
The two elves stood up and sang in loud voices, "THEY'RE MOOOREE THAAAN GOOD---THEEEY'RRRRE GRRREAT!!!" Gannondorf joined them on the last words. Then Link and Zelda noticed everyone was staring at them. They grinned at each other, then apologized quietly. Zel's cheeks were flushed with excitement.
"I haven't done that since Impa bought our first tv set!" she exclaimed. Then she frowned. "Oh yeah.now I remember why she threw it out."

"You know, I never really even liked Frosted Flakes," said Link.
"Me neither," Zelda agreed. "I guess I just like the song. Except that I wouldn't really want to be Tony."
"That was.charming," Roy stated awkwardly, walking up to them and smiling rather forcefully.
Goddesses! Zelda thought. How lame can this guy get?! She smiled and thanked him in an odd manner. Of course, Link wasn't about to be polite.
"What, you've never heard the frosted flakes song before?" he asked, looking at Roy like he was from Jupiter. "Hey, that reminds me."
"Of what?" Zelda asked.
"A joke. What do Tony the tiger and Winnie the Pooh have in common?" Roy stared at Link blankly. "They both-" he tried to stop laughing. "Have the same-" more laughter. "MIDDLE NAME!!! AH HA HA HA HA!!" He and Zelda burst out laughing. Roy chuckled nervously, then walked away. Link and Zelda stopped laughing abruptly.
"Brilliant, Link," she said to him. She grinned at him.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just come up with a couple lame Pooh jokes, and it'll drive anyone away."
"Ooh!" Peach said, not liking to be left out of the conversation. "That reminds me of another joke. Why did Tigger look in the toilet?"
"Why?" Summer asked.
"Because HE WAS LOOKING FOR POOH!!" Everyone laughed, except for Pikachu and Captain Falcon (who was awake, but not at the table).
"Pikachu-pi!" the rodent exclaimed angrily. Peach raised her eyebrows.
"He said 'That wasn't funny.'"
"I don't get it," Captain Falcon said. "I mean, isn't it only natural that Tigger would be looking for Pooh if he was missing?" (everyone sweatdrops).
Samus rolled her eyes. "Stop being such a dork, Falcon," she said.
"Ganon, I have a question for you," Young Link said. "Why do you always kidnap Zelda? I mean really, what's the significance of it all?"
"Ah!" said Ganon, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Now that is a good question! No wait, it's not. THE TRIFORCES, STUPID YOUNGER VERSION OF THE HERO OF TIME!" he shouted. "Oh, that reminds me. I wonder when we'll be starting training."
"Me go see," DK volunteered. He pushed himself away from the table, and walked towards Peach. "Peach," he said.
"What is it, DK?" she asked.
"Ganon want to know when training start."
"Well, considering that the first matches will be beginning in two days, we'll start after everyone's finished eating." DK returned to his seat and gave his info to Ganon.
"The first matches are in TWO DAYS?!" Link and Zelda asked.
"Yes," Peach answered, surprised at their surprise. "I mean, two days is enough for you to train, isn't it?"
"Well, well uh, I guess so," Link mumbled, turning back to his empty plate. "Oh, well I'm done. And it looks like everyone else is, too." The smashers had indeed finished, and were looking around, waiting for further instruction. They turned their attention to Peach as she stood up.
"Your bags have been brought off the ship and are being taken to your rooms," the princess said. "So you may go up, unpack or whatever, and then go to the gym or court yard for.practice."
