GW stepped into the dining room, hoping to avoid a conflict with the cat-like Smasher. So far he had successfully evaded Mewtwo by going into his 2-D mode, but he was beginning to worry that Mewtwo could read his thoughts.

And…was that a telltale sign of a floating Pokemon? He blipped into his flatness.

Peach walked into the room and saw a disembodied shadow on the floor. She proceeded to scream and run around with her hands flailing around her.

Link, hearing this commotion, walked in with his sword drawn. "What's the matter?" he asked the distraught princess. Unfortunately, she didn't hear him or even notice his presence. Instead, she whacked him across the face with one of her crazed arms, causing him to stumble into the table and bang his head.

"And it's minus one stock for Link" Master Hand cackled over the intercom. Link shot an angry gaze at the ceiling before passing out.

GW took this opportunity to make a quiet getaway before he, too, was hit by the panicking Peach.

Ganondorf sat in his room, reading The Best Book of Dark Magic Ever Written, a collection of spells made by great-great-great grandfather. Every now and then he would look up, see Captain Falcon's empty bed, and sigh in contentment.

"Let's see…I wonder if there is a way to curse machinery? No, he wouldn't have known what robots were…I suppose I won't be cursing Amelia, anyway…" he frowned. While many of these spells were interesting, most of them were extremely impractical. One of the stranger ones he had seen was "IlikepuddingIlikeSkittlessendthisfluffballbacktotherealworldbecauseIsaidso" which allegedly sent light round objects back to the real world from a spiritual plane. Who would ever use something like that?

There was a light tap on the door. "Come in!" he called.

Roy appeared in the doorway. "What's up?" he asked.

"I've found a spell that gives you every malady that begins in the letter X," Ganondorf said.

"Hah!" Roy laughed. "What use is that? I didn't even know there were any."

"There could be," Ganondorf answered, "but you'd think he could have at least made it M or T. Or something."

"Listen…" Roy began. "I'm just curious, but...do you think that, since you and Nabooru aren't going out anymore…do you think I could hook her up with someone?"

Ganondorf stared at the redhead. "I suppose," he responded, "but I must warn you that they will die horrible deaths within one week of them coming into contact with her."

"…oh." Roy scratched the back of his head. "Okay, then. I'll have to find someone else…" He turned and left the room.

"He says that like Nabooru hasn't gotten engaged by now…" Ganondorf muttered before returning to his book.

Samus and Young Link were in the hangar, working on Amelia. So far, Amelia was starting to look a lot like a human – she had a face and something that resembled a body, although she still generally looked like assorted wires.

"I think we need to add more coolant around her flamethrowers," Samus said. "With what she has now, she might overheat and start melting her arm off."

Young Link handed her a tube of Portable Coolant, which she began to spray in the chamber.

"It's amazing how Amelia can defy the space-time continuum and all of the laws of mass," Young Link said. He smiled and patted his creation.

"I still don't understand how you got her to have an auto-response feature," the bounty hunter said wistfully. "I never could get my ship to do anything like that…"

Young Link looked at the clock hanging over the entrance. 11:14.

"Wow, I need to go to sleep," he said. "I want to be up early enough to have some of Peach's potato and egg tacos."

Samus stood up. "Yeah, I should go, too. Man…I really don't want to go to that horrible pink zone…"

Peach and Bowser sat in the den. So far, their unofficial date was a success – he had even held the door open for her! She considered asking him where he had learned manners, but then realized how incredibly rude and un-princess-like that would be.

"Oh, I love this part!" she said, snuggling up next to the dragony turtly king. He smiled and attempted to put his arm around her, but it had fallen asleep and was too difficult to move.

Mewtwo chose this moment to float in. When he saw the couple, however, he made a retching noise and quickly retreated.

"Why must they be so cute?" he growled as he rounded the corner to the arcade, where he saw the Ice Climbers playing.

"Who's cute?" Popo asked.

"Peach and the uber-dino," Mewtwo snapped.

"Oh…yeah, I don't know what to make of them…" Nana said. "I wonder what made her change her mind about him, anyway?"

"Who knows?" Mewtwo answered. "I'm not willing to find out, at any rate." He then floated over to his computer to update his black market website.

GW scampered down the hall, his paranoia forcing him to remain 2-D at all times. He wasn't sure what to do anymore – that Pokemon was everywhere!

Fortunately, his problem was solved for him in the form of a bizarre noise – the noise of a summoner summoning a summon!

Suddenly, Crystal King from Paper Mario appeared, complete with the Annoying Crown of Painful Landings and his own, personal theme song! He chuckled as he shot several Ice Polygons of Little Use at GW, who could not dodge them in his current form.

"Beebeebeebee!" GW cried as he disappeared.

When GW came to, he was surrounded by the dead Smashers. All except DK, at any rate.

"Beep?" he asked tentatively.

"Hey," Ness whispered. "DK went crazy with the rocket launcher, and we're coming up with a plan to get it away from him. He's in a craze kind of like the one we go into when we pick up those hammers." He gestured through a hole in the wall, which GW looked through.

DK was blasting stuff. Lots of stuff. Unfortunately for the Smashers, one of his shots hit the blast doors…

Captain Falcon leapt through. "LA LA LA LA LALALALALALALA!" he shouted.

"…was that his theme song?" Zelda asked, a horrified look on her face.

"Yes. In La." Falco grunted, a similar expression on his own face.

They all suddenly broke out in smiles as DK, in his terror, unleashed the rest of the rockets on the bounty hunter.

And that's Chapter 13.

Will the Smashers ever get rid of Captain Falcon? Do Peach and Bowser have a future besides arm fatigue? Will Samus survive the Pink Zone? We'll see…

Valete!
