"What?" yelled Lucina, seeming somewhat outraged.

"You're our a-writer?" asked Mario in shock.

"You're Ants?" exclaimed Peach.

"Uh, yeah. That's me." I say, a bit offended. "Why such a surprised response?" I posed, putting one hand on my hip and the other on my head, then placing my feet in a ballet stand. "Am I disappointing you?" I joking, shaking a bit from keeping the pose.

They looked me up and down, taking in my appearance. -Ooh! Finally! I get to describe what I look like! Okay!- I posed there, the sleeves of my dark red "I'm a Zelda" hoodie now unrolled, almost reaching my hands. My jean shorts folded up quite nicely, with different color jean patches sewed randomly onto them. Keeping my ballet stand was hard, considering the huge combat booths I was wearing. My skin was evenly tan, like I was raised on a tropical island; and my hair dark brown and wavy, blowing freely in the wind. I squinted at them with my eyes, that were almost the same color as my hair.

"Uhhhh, I a-guess?" was the reply I got from Mario. "Don't a-take this the wrong a-way, Ants, it's just..."

"We expected you to look stupid-er!" Dark Pit called out from a safe distance.

My arms dropped at the sound of this insult. "Oh, come ON!" I exclaimed at the same time Lucina left and went into her and Pittoo's tent. "First off, stupid-er? That's a stupid way to say I look stupid! Second, I'M NOT STUPID! And third, WHY WOULD YOU THINK I WOULD LOOK STUPID?"

"No no no, sweetie! I'm sure that's not what he meant." Peach shook her head in pure honesty, then turned to Dark Pit and said through her teeth, "Right, Pittoo?"

Dark Pit shrugged, figuring it would be better to add than backtrack. "Yeah, sure." he said as he crossed his arms. "We expected you to look wimpy-er, too."

I tried not to grind my teeth at the sound of another insult from that feATHERED LITTLE FREAK HOW DARE HE TALK TO ME IN SUCH A- No, Ants. Another random outburst is not the answer. You know what you can do instead.

Potato sack his little butt.

I slowly turned my head towards the anti-hero, my face in a look of utter disgust. I made intense eye contact with him as I reached into my big hoodie pocket for my-

Oh. Right.

I then slowly turned my head towards Peach, my face in a look of utter annoyance. I made intense eye contact with her as I walked towards her.

"Man, this girl is really bad at decisions, ain't she?" Mario asked Peach as I walked over.

"Oh, don't say that!" Peach scowled her boyfriend as I walked over. "She's our writer for goodness sakes! We should be thankful of her for choosing us to write about and revere the way she writes us. She deserves dignity and respect. We must not insult or even question her choices; being a princess and leader of this group of ruffians I declare we must treat Ants as a- What the heck are you doing?"

Peach looked down at me, who was digging through one of her chest pockets. "Nothing. Go on, I'm listening." I motioned for her to keep talking as I continued to dig. "Crap, it's not there." I got on my knees and began digging through her pants pockets in great search.

Peach threw her arms up while Dark Pit and Mario just stood there watching in utter confusion. "You... You mind telling me what you're looking for?" Peach asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Oh no, not at all. Go ahead." I muttered as I checked one pocket, then another. Gosh dang, where is it?

The princess rolled her eyes and decided to let me continue on my ridiculous little hunt. "You know what? I take it back. All of it back." I began looking down her booths as she turned to Dark Pit and shouted, "You can call her whatever you want, Pittoo!"

Dark Pit clapped his hands together in joy. "Oh, yeah! I was going to anyway, but I appreciate your approval! Okay!"

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. "Yay. More name calling." I sighed as I now moved to looking inside her freaKING SOCKS FOR IT OH COME ON! "As if I don't get enough of that from my mom."

The anti-hero pondered what to sneer at me first. "Hmmm... Oh! Hey, Ants! What do you call a dumba-"

"NO." Me, Peach, and Mario exclaimed at Dark Pit before he could even get to the punchline.

"We know what you were a-gonna say, Pittoo!" Mario said.

"And you know very well that you can't say that!" I added as I finished checking if Peach's crown had pockets. "Or at least, you can't say that without it getting bleeped, and I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that would ruin your joke."

Dark Pit smapped his fingers and disappointment. "Oh, fine. Hmmm... You got any ideas for a good zinger, Luci-"

He looked to his side and noticed that Lucina had left. "Oh. I guess not."

I got my hand out of one of Peach's cargo pockets and pointed to their tent. "She went into yo shimmer tent," I told him, then went back to digging.

Dark Pit looked over at me. "She did?" he asked, but immediately realized I just said that, so it was a stupid question to ask. "Oh, yeah, of course she did." he backtracked, "She's probably getting that huge sledgehammer we found months ago to use on you."

I was still going through that cargo pocket when he said that, so I was only half listening. "Huh. Where did y'all find that?" I asked.

"In front of Happy Mask Salesman's Shop," Mario told me as held Peach steady as I looked underneath her feet. "right after he attacked."

"Oh, how intere- WAIT WHAT?" My eyes shot over to Mario in questioning. "Whoa, wait. No, you mean when you guys beat the crap out of HMS and his store, right?" I tilted my head at him, thinking he just misspoke.

"What? No." Mario said in confusion. "HMS attacked all of us smashers and even kidna-"

"HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY!" Dark Pit yelled out, flying up to Mario. He grabbed the plumber seven feet off the ground and head him by the shoulders, up in the air, and shook him back and forth. "WE CAN'T TELL ANYONE, EVEN THE WRITER, REMEMBER?" He said, with his face right in front of Mario's nose. "HE'LL COME BACK IF WE DO!"

"YES! FINALLY!" I jumped up from the ground and held up my New 3DS. Peach took it back at the food supplies and I finally found it up one of her pant legs.

Before turning Dark Pit's outfit into barrel, I looked up at him shaking Mario while Peach tried to jump up and grab him in concern. No, I wasn't concern for the plumber, I was concern about what Pittoo said. HMS attacked the smashers? But he told me it was the other way around. And what's this about them not being allowed to tell me? Who scared them so badly that they not only shut up, but also left their friends behind somewhere?

"Hold on." I pointed at Dark Pit with a questioning finger. "HMS told me you guys attacked him and robbed him broke."

Peach, Dark Pit, and Mario looked down at me in horror, like I just said beetle juice three times or something. "You've... You've met with HMS?" Peach whispered, with her hands over her mouth in utter horror.

"Uh, yeah." I replied as I opened up my portable and tapped away on it. "The first place I visited was his shop in hopes of finding you guys." POOF! "Damn, that place was a mess. Oh, by the way, I hope you're into barrels, Pittoo, because you're cosplaying one now."

Dark Pit dropped Mario and looked down at himself. With the use of my New 3DS, I had replaced his emo jumper thingy with a highly unflattering barrel that he was now sporting like an overall dress. "ACK!" he exclaimed as he fell to the ground in shock.

Peach and Mario laughed while I smiled at the sight of this. "Ah, yes. That's much better." I said as I put my New 3DS in one of my back pockets. "Anyhoo, yeah, so after much yelling and trying to blow the sad man up, he confessed that you and the others ruined his shop, robbed it dry, then ran off. So me and Master-"

"WHAT." a voice boomed from behind me.

We all look over to see Lucina, inches away from my back, holding a huge copper sledgehammer over her shoulder.

"Hey!" I screeched, stepping back from the clearly manic princess. "Were you going to attack me?"

"THAT LIAR. THAT PATHETIC LIAR." she exclaimed, dropping the weapon and taking a step towards me.

"Okay, not going to answer me? Okay. That's probably for the best."

Peach pushed my aside to approach her fellow princess. "Now, Lucina, don't start this again." she begged as she took Lucina by the hand. "You remember what happened the last time you lost your tem-"

"OH, SCREW THAT!" Lucina screamed, pulling away from their leader. She pointed to me and shouted, "HE FED HER -OUR WRITER- A BUNCH OF LIES ABOUT US, TOADSTOOL! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH THAT, TOO?"

She walked towards me again. "LISTEN UP, WRITER! HAVE I GOT A STORY TO TELL YOU!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuh..." was all I could manage to reply.

Peach began walking around. "Pittoo! Help me calm down your girlfriend again!" she called out to where ever the anti-hero went.

Dark Pit actually flew up into a tree to hide his shame and consider if going naked was less embarrassing than wearing this darn barrel. "Uh, no thanks!" he yelled back from behind the branches.

Lucina ignored all that to yell in my face. "ARE YOU READY TO HEAR THE TRUTH?"

"Uh, yeah, sure." I replied as I sat down on the ground, for I knew this was going to be a long one. "But do you mind if I stop with the all caps just for your story. People will take it less seriously if I don't."

"GO AHEAD."

"Thanks."

Mario ran up to Lucina and tugged her cape. "No, Lucy, no! Don't a-break the treaty!" he begged as he pulled with all his might, in hopes of distracting the blue haired princess. But, as we already know, Mario never exercises, so his efforts were useless.

"SHUT UP!" she yelled at the plumber. She then turned to me. "LISTEN UP, WRITER! LISTEN GOOD!"

"Oh boy." I said as I crossed my legs.

"Oh no." muttered Mario as he kept on pulling.
