At least 3 chapters left…and then Australia will collide with Asia. Then Australians will become Asians, and the world will rejoice. Or something like that.

Jigglypuff. Ness. Roy. Dr. Mario. And that loser Mewtwo. How long could this continue? Just 5 left. Keeping this little venture discreet was tiring, nerve-racking, thrilling, and, on occasion, hilarious. And it also induced hunger, which was why Marth was now eating some chicken noodle soup in the dining room.

"Seriously, what the hell is Mewtwo doing?"

Pichu and Pikachu were still in the kitchen, unconscious. No one cared.

"I'll try Ness after this soup." Marth took a bite of soup and collected his thoughts, utilizing his solitude.

Ah, that Peach thing was fun…

After The Soup…

"That was some good soup."

Marth now walked upstairs to the source of those video game sounds. Ness had to be there. Not only was he there, Roy was there as well. They were playing Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and having a good time. No, strike that.

Ness was having a good time.

"Where'd that Spiny Shell come from? I wasn't even in first!"

"You were in first when it arrived…"

"Yeah, whatever."

They were racing at Baby Park, the mayhem capital of Mario Kart, in a Grand Prix. Roy was losing by 14 points. Ness already had 20. Yeah, Roy sucked.

"Roy, you suck."

"Not now!" Roy got hit by 4 Green Shells and Bowser's Shell in succession. He was now in 8th place, 2 laps behind everyone else. Meaning that he was on the 5th lap.

Roy melted his controller with his sword, flipped Ness off, and stomped away. Ness smiled and turned off the Cube.

"He really needs to learn how to drift…"

Marth snickered.

"Marth, you wanna give it a go?"

"No, that's okay."

"Hey, what's that there?" Ness pointed at our beloved statue. Marth snickered again.

"A mirror."

Ness quickly snatched it. "Let me see if I have any pimples, so Peach'll leave me alone." He looked at himself and fell to the floor instantly. His eyes were wide open and empty, and his body was motionless. For 6 seconds. When the grace period ended…

"Huh?"

Ness stood up slowly and stared at the Cube on the floor.

"Triangle…"

"It's a cube."

"…Kee-yoob?"

"Yeah."

Ness stepped on it, shattering it. "CUBE!" Ness ran into the television headfirst and stayed there for a little while. "BIG CUBE!"

Marth was speechless. Ness pried his head from the TV and rushed out the room, laughing like an idiot and drooling. Marth followed him to the stairs.

"Oooooooooooooh…" Ness stared at the steps for a few seconds, then fell down them on purpose. He laughed once, loudly, when he reached the bottom. Marth snickered.

"I fell."

"Hey, you said a sentence!"

Ness tilted his head like a dog. "Uh?"

Marth sighed and continued following him. Ness ran to a closet door and grabbed the doorknob. Then he attempted to eat it. Marth only watched his futile, painful attempts. Ness didn't know it hurt, but he kept trying. Then he stopped, punched the doorknob in, and cried.

"I wanna EAT IT!"

"Calm down, simple child."

Ness continued crying. "You're mean!"

"How am I mean?"

"You look like a girly girl, and you smell!"

Marth had no comment.

"Get out. I go to bed now."

Ness laid on the floor, eyes open, snoring, pretending to sleep. "Get in the car!"

Marth knocked him out for real and laughed a bit. "Guess he really is intelligent. Where exactly did Roy go? He seemed rather hotheaded back there."

Eh. I've written shorter.
