Link wandered into the dining room. He had been depressed lately over Zelda's demise two weeks ago – although he was handling it far better than Pikachu, who had just recently gotten over the death of his little self.

"Hi Link!" Nana greeted the swordsman. "How's it going?"

"Fine, I guess." He sat down next to her. "Where's Popo? You two aren't apart very often."

"He went to the bathroom, Link," Nana said giggled.

Peach walked in, carrying a plateful of hamburgers. "Okay…uh, I think the ones on the right have cheese…well, just check them and see." She turned to Link. "Oh, hello Link. Want a burger?"

"…um, were they made from Hylian cows? 'Cause I've kind of gotten to bond with them. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten milk from one by playing Epona's Song."

Peach blinked. "I don't know. I think they're made from Cornerian cows, actually…do you need me to check and see?"

"Nah, I'll eat it." Link took one of the burgers and bit into it.

"Wait, that's-!"

Link suddenly spat it back out. "What is this?" he demanded.

"It's my tofu burger!" Peach yelled. "Now I have to make another one!" She stormed back into the kitchen, stopping at the doorway to shoot a glare at Link.

"…"

"…"

"Hey, guys!" Popo greeted. "Hey, the burgers are ready!" He leapt onto a chair and began to eat the burger Nana had picked out for him.

"I think I'm going to go sneak into the pantry and see if I can get something to drink…" Link grimaced. "I need to get that taste out of my mouth!"

"I'll go," Nana offered. "It's probably best that you don't get within range of Peach's veggie throw." She hopped down and disappeared into the kitchen.

Popo glanced at Link. "What did you do?"

"I ate…evil." Link sighed and propped his head on his hands.


GW blipped into the arcade. What a wonderful opportunity to play Super Mario World! He shifted to "sitting form" and activated the platform.

"What are you doing?" Roy asked as he entered.

"Blip. Blippity beep."

"…uh, yeah. I'm just gonna stop talking…" Roy strode over to his computer and flipped on the monitor.

"What…what is this?"

His background had changed from it's usual Lilina picture to…who was that, anyway? Some ugly blonde with way too much lipstick and a burn.

"Who is that, anyway?" he wondered as he stared at the image. He finally noticed a small note near the keyboard.

"Hope you like Vaida! – Bowser"

Roy blinked. Vaida…the name sounded familiar. Like one of his father's allies…or enemies…or something…He went image surfing and found a more suitable picture of his current girlfriend.

A message popped up on the screen. "Download unsuccessful. A virus is preventing your computer from saving any files."

"I thought this didn't involve saving files!" Roy shouted into the computer.

"Beep." GW leapt over to Roy and smacked the hard drive with his m hammer, which let out an electric shock. The computer sputtered for a second, and then another message appeared.

"We are sorry for the brief inconvenience. Your download may now begin."

"Sweet!" Roy exclaimed. "Thanks, GW!"

GW shot him a brief thumbs-up and then returned to his game, which had somehow shifted from Super Mario World to Kirby 64.

Mewtwo floated into the room. "Excuse me, Mr. Game and Watch," he said, "but I was wondering if you by any chance stole five of my nuclear-powered Gameboys?"

GW leapt five feet into the air and made a mad dash for the other door.

"Idiot…" Mewtwo muttered as he floated back out. "It's not like I was going to hurt him…" He then let out a grunt as Pikachu Quick Attacked into the room.

"Will you watch where you're doing that!" he shouted as he left the room. Pikachu merely waved and picked up where GW had left off on his game.


Link wandered back into his room. Yet another slow day, and he was tired. It really surprised him how much energy it took to be bored.

He looked on the stand next to his bed and saw the Regal Sword. "Ah, yes…" he walked over to it and picked it up. "I really ought to-"

Suddenly a powerful force struck the back of his head! He fell forward onto the nightstand.

"YES! IT'S MINE! IT'S ALL…this isn't the Master Sword!" Young Link shouted. "This is some stupid shiny thing that wouldn't hurt a Miniblin!"

Link rubbed his head and gave Link a Stare of Incredible Death. "You'll be wanting to run away very, very quickly," he growled.

"MY REGAL BLADE! Roy yelled as he poked his head in. "YOU TOOK MY REGAL BLADE!" He charged at Link and brandished his measly Iron Sword.

"Whoops." Young Link said. He swung the sword over his head, but accidentally got it caught in the ceiling fan. Roy collided with him and the two sprawled on the floor.

"…This could be fun." Link sat down on his bed and watched the fight.


Fox walked into the hangar. "Noes!" he cried. "Young Link is supposed to be here!" He ran out before he could see his precious Arwing in its new form. He eventually came across the Links' bedroom, and witnessed the scene unfolding inside.

"YAAAH!" he shouted as he pounced on the two fighters.


The next morning, Peach walked into the dining room with Bowser. Their last plans had been successful…but would Bowser approve of this one?

"Bowser…" Peach began, "have you ever considered…um…lifelong…" she stopped to consider how to phrase this.

"What?" Bowser asked as he stuffed a pear into his mouth.

Oh, he's so hot when he does that, she thought. "Uh…marriage!" she blurted. She then clapped her hand over her mouth.

Bowser looked at her. She looked at him.

"HELL YEAH!" he roared.

Peach fainted.


Five minutes later, a very bruised Young Link walked in. "Oww…" he moaned. "I'm in so much pain right now…" He sat down at the table and fell asleep again.

Roy appeared a few seconds later. Unlike Young Link, he only had a bruise over his left eye – which, ironically, had been dealt by Fox. He also fell asleep at the table.

Fox was the last to enter. He had several bruises, but none were noticeable under his fur. He sat down, and…

"BREAKFAST!" Peach shouted. All three became immediately alert. "I made pancakes and waffles and sausage and potatoes and tacos and fajitas and I can do all this because I am ridiculously happy and I think I got an estrogen high or something and oh yeah I also made coffee I love the sound of coffee coffee coffee coffee,"

All three of the males suddenly fell back asleep.


Pikachu meandered down the hallway. Why? Because he felt like meandering, and no one was going to stop him!

Well, the Psycho Killer was, because as Pikachu entered the arcade, he was hit with seven shurikens.


Pikachu woke up with the dead Smashers. Well, all of them except…Captain Falcon? Where was he?

"Oh, hi Pikachu!" Ness called. Falco also turned to wave at the newcomer. "The others have gone to scout out the next area. What's going on?"

"Pika?" Pikachu asked. He then scrunched his face to demonstrate Captain Falcon.

"Oh, yeah. We left him in this giant room and sealed the door shut so he couldn't follow us. I figure they'll let him out when the contest is over. Anyway, look!" Ness showed Pikachu the rocket launcher…and…

"Boom thing!" DK screamed. He then swept forward and grabbed it out of Ness' hands.

"…oh, no…" Ness moaned.


Will DK rekill the victims? Will Peach ever get over her anger with Link and tofu? Will Amelia show back up (hint: duh)? Well, anyway…bye!
