A/N Whew what a week. School's started just about... oh I don't know, a bit, and already I'm already having a few hours of homework. ::tired face here:: But I still find time to write! ::replace with happy face::

Well, read, review, you know the drill. Oh, and this time- for the person who didn't really say anything about my story but just followed my instructions- next, type wonderful praises for me. XD Well, just type anything that has to do with my story. Not 'anything that has to do with my story'. Just about my story. Thanks!

Disclaimer: Don't make me poke the creator of Super Smash Brothers until he gives me the copyright of the game. Just don't drive me there. I will! ::unleashes index finger:: Don't... make... me.

(Begin Chapter Three)

The Smashers stared at the gravestone for about six seconds before chaos ensued. Many things happened in the short time span of ten seconds:

Young Link grabbed Ness by the wrist and hauled out of the area, sprinting into the forest.

Kirby suddenly deflated, sinking to the ground in a small pink pancake-like form.

Yoshi and Dr. Mario both ran, and slammed into the other, knocking the other out.

Mario, Luigi, and the Ice Climbers all clung to the other and started screaming at the top of their voices, piercing the air with the high-pitched shrieks they were setting off.

The rest of the Smashers stood frozen in shock.

"No... way. The Master Hand is not below that, is he?" said Fox in disbelief. "I mean... he accepted all of our applications for joining the game cast...."

Falco snorted, but a shudder of fear ran through it. "N-never expected it, did we?" he asked, a nervous laugh slinking it's way in.

A yell erupted from the woods, and out came Young Link and Ness. However, the small Hylian appeared to be covered in furry brown moss. "Get it off, get it off!" he hollered, running in circles.

Ness quickly took out his bat and slammed it into his friend's chest, where the fuzzy spot was. The moss dropped off- and began to walk towards Ness!

"It's a spider!" screamed Peach. "Get it! Get it!"

Ness swung at the offending arachnid, but it easily ducked, and launched itself at the boy.

Young Link thwacked his boomerang on the spider's head, and slashed out with his Kokiri sword, hacking at a leg.

Ness was beating repeatedly at it, but was losing. The spider lifted itself for the kill-

WHAM!

Young Link thumped the creature on the head, stunning it, also cracking the boomerang in half.

Kicking the spider, he ran over to Zelda babbling, "I saw a- a tree and tried to climb it but the spider got me and I ran and ran and it tried to kill me and I broke my boom-er-aaaaang!"

Zelda softly stroked his head, whispering, "Shush, it's gone now..."

Older Link huffed. "Why can't she do that to me?"

Fox, temporarily forgetting the gravestone, elbowed Link with a furry elbow. "She is, doofus."

Link kicked the pilot. "I mean when I'm seventeen!"

Falco rolled his eyes. "This has to rank as one of the weirdest conversations I've heard for a while..."

Captain Falcon shrugged. "Well, there are a few of them if you mix foxes, heroes and princesses."

Peach pointed a shaky finger at the gravestone. "But what about that?" she asked in a squeaky voice.

Suddenly, another scream erupted from the woods, and bats fluttered out of the forest. Peach screeched, and fainted. Samus swiftly caught her, and looked up, her tone was wavering and seemed frightened. "Wha-"

"Ohhhh..." moaned a low, gravely voice.

The voice came from the gravestone. The ground near the tombstone shuddered, and began to lift, dirt crumbling off the sides.

"AHHHH! EVIL ZOMBIE!" screamed the Smashers.

Something emerged from the ground. Weeds clung to it's appendages, and dirt came off in clumps off of it's sides. Standing tall, arms forward, it began to walk towards the group of freaked Smashers.

Mario, who had stopped shrieking earlier, stared. "It's... COMING!" he gasped.

Link whipped out his boomerang and yelled, "The thing's a Re-dead!" He hurled the boomerang with all his might.

Spinning through the air, the weapon smacked the zombie and returned to Link. The figure yelped and hurtled down the hillside and came to a stop at Zelda's, or more, Young Link's feet.

Young Link yelled in terror and struck out, slamming his sword hilt on the zombie's head.

"Hey! Cut it out!"

The young Hylian, his fear gone, continued whacking the person. "You- evil- Re-dead- go- back- to-" and uttered a word that Zelda gasped at.

The zombie covered its head and cried out, "Stop it! I just work here!"

Zelda quickly dragged the furious and slightly confused Young Link away. "Wait, who are you?" she asked the zombie.

"Yeah," added Roy, "and what the heck were you doing?"

"What do you mean you work here?" inquired Marth, raising his eyebrows.

"Can't we just let him answer?" muttered Captain Falcon.

The zombie stood up, then collapsed. "I'm Howard the Coward, and I work for Hostiaterr campgrounds. I was testing out our new Halloween "Scary Fair-y" haunted hill feature. Why did you hit me?" he snarled to Link.

Link threw up his hands in immediate defense. "Whoa, hold on. I thought you were some kind of Re-dead or vampire or something!"

Zelda rolled her eyes. "Men," she muttered, "Always first to defend themselves." And then she turned to Howard the Coward. "But it's nowhere near Halloween."

Howard nodded. "You're right, but it's new, so we thought we should test it out."

"So all the screams, the bats.... was all fake?" asked Samus, tapping the ground with her foot. Howard nodded.

"And my arms were out because I needed to stretch them; it's cramped in there," he explained. "Everything scary here is fake."

"Does that include the restrooms?" murmured Marth.

"And the spider?" asked Young Link.

Howard's eyes widened. "What spider?!" he screeched, and jumped, attempting to head towards the bathrooms, which were roughly the size of computer modems.

Roy grabbed the zombie's shoulder, and ignoring the weeds and crumbling dirt, dragged him back. "Just tell us where we can camp, you weirdo."

Howard tried to crawl away, but Roy's grip was pretty strong. "Over there. Five bucks a person."

"Five bucks!" shrieked Peach. She had awakened, and not happily. "Like we're going to pay that!"

"Do you want me to show you the spider?" asked Link gently, but a hint of cruelty resided in his innocent statement.

Howard, after hearing that, let the Smashers camp for free.

(End Chapter Three)

A/N See? No one died (except that spider got knocked out and Howard got beat up pretty badly...) and no major horror scenes.

I haven't updated in a while due to hours of homework, busy weekends and extracurricular activities like tae kwon do and youth group and stuff.

Be sure to review! If you forgot how to, refer to the A/N at the beginning of the chapter.
