Chapter 2: Next Broadcast
The light went on in the newsroom, as Zelda scooted around in her chair. She seemed to be drunk.
The camera turned on.
"Today--" started Link.
"BEANS!" Zelda exclaimed.
"OK, remember how you shouldn't do that on TV?" asked the cameraman.
Zelda spun around in her chair.
"Today, a warpstar was stolen, but we haven't officially caught the criminal. But we have a slight idea," he added, looking suspiciously at a lamp.
"More news on that later," Zelda said.
"No, we—sort of have to finish first."
"Oh, oh! I get it!" said Zelda, attempting to give the cameraman a high five but instead throwing a mashed potato at him.
"Let's skip the weather," said Link. "Or just look out your window. Do something for yourself..." Then, in an exaggerated tone, added, "that includes not stealing!" He then shot another glance at the lamp that didn't respond. "Here's our special guest!"
Ness fell down into a chair.
"Tell me—how did you become a smasher?"
"Well, it was one day in my yard. I got angry and shot out electricity."
"BEANS!" screamed Zelda again.
"OK, stop doing that." said the cameraman.
"Then I decided to become a smasher!"
There was a pause.
"Do you have any other stories?"
"I tried to warn you," said Zelda.
The ground below Ness started shaking, and a giant can of beans came up and was launched out into the sky, with Ness in it, startling them both. It exploded.
Uh...ok.
