Outside the Council of 64 office, Toon Link sulked in the hallway as he waited for Dark Pit to finish. He held his tunic down as far as he could and kept his butt to the wall. Dark Pit told him that from the front it barely looked like he wet himself at all.
After what felt like an eternity to stand around in pee soaked leggins, the angel came back out holding a blue sweater. "They said we have to reset the breaker out back," Dark Pit told him.
Toon Link didn't respond, he just nodded.
"And uh… Samus gave me her sweater to tie around your waste," he added, getting down to Toon Link's level and wrapping the sweater around him.
"W-wait, you told Samus?!" Toon Link cried, his cheeks going red.
"Well I uh...I was telling everyone what happened and your accident sort of came up…" Dark Pit said, realizing he maybe shouldn't have said anything at all. He scratched his cheek awkwardly.
"Ugh!" Toon Link complained, putting his arms out to the side as Dark Pit tied the sweater around him. "Now everyone's gonna think I'm some stupid pants wetter!"
"Well they already knew about the calendar so it's really no big deal," Dark Pit said, standing up and seeing how it looked. He wouldn't tell Toon Link, but it really didn't help much.
Toon Link rolled his eyes. "Whatever, go reset the breaker or whatever. I'm gonna get some new pants I guess."
Now it was Dark Pit's turn to blush. "I uh...Ness says you have to go with me," he told Toon Link. Not only did Dark Pit have a problem with directions, he also couldn't be trusted to find the correct breaker to reset the electricity in the children's dorms.
Toon Link looked down at himself. "But I uh...my… I need a shower and...clothes..."
Dark Pit sighed and took his hand. "Come on, we'll get you cleaned and changed first then we'll take care of it."
o-o-o
After running the shower and helping Toon Link out of his wet clothes, Dark Pit waited in Cabin B for Toon Link to finish up. He remembered back to his time after being subjected to the Rewind Spring and being made into a helpless toddler, and how Toon Link had been there to help him when he was taken by Ganondorf. He remembered Toon Link getting a fairly nasty bump on the head and how not long afterwards Pit had mentioned Toon was beginning to have accidents at night again. Dark Pit couldn't say for sure, but he felt at least some level of guilt that Toon Link might be having issues because of him.
It's for this reason that Dark Pit was being so patient with Toon Link. Normally he'd leave the boy to fend for himself, but his code of honor wouldn't allow him to do that. Looking up above Toon Link's bed, he saw the calendar: they were on the 5th day and there were 6 rainclouds, with the newest one being on the 'daytime' portion of today. Toon Link was bound for diapers, he had no doubt.
As he was looking, Toon Link emerged with wet hair and a purple tunic. "Sorry I took so long," he said. "It just felt really...s-stop looking at that!"
Dark Pit turned away from the calendar quickly, pretending he barely saw anything. "S-sorry, I was just looking around!" he lied.
"Whatever…" Toon Link said with a sigh. Pit was such a blabbermouth, it's not like Dark Pit didn't know anyway.
Dark Pit scratched the back of his head and blushed. "Sorry…" he said, forcing a touch of anger into his voice.
"Come on, let's just get the power turned back on so I can go back to playing video games," Toon Link said, turning to the door. He let his own gaze rest on his calendar for a second, realizing he had one job for the day and he'd completely blown it.
"Do you maybe wanna try and use the restroom first?" Dark Pit offered.
Toon Link froze, hearing shadows of Pit in the question. "You didn't just ask me that. You iseriously/i didn't just ask me that, did you?"
"What?!" Dark Pit asked forcefully, defending himself. "I'm trying to help!"
"Well you're not helping!" Toon Link shouted back. He pulled out his phone and checked the timer, which said he still had 20 minutes before he had to use the potty again. It would be wise to use the restroom before he went, but it wasn't like the breakers were far. Besides, he couldn't give Dark Pit the satisfaction!
"Let's just go," he said, storming out the door. "This time, I'm leading the way!"
o-o-o
At the breaker behind the manor, Toon Link and Dark Pit stared at the massive panel with switches and tags everywhere. A place like Smash Manor needed a lot of electricity, and there were plenty of rooms and wings to power. While most fighters had their own circuits built to accommodate their energy needs, the children's rooms were once again shafted as they operated on a shared switch.
"Luigi said it would be labeled 'Children,'" Dark Pit told Toon Link, pretending to read the labels on the switches.
"Do you see it?" he asked.
"Can't say I do…" Dark Pit said, squinting like it would help.
After a few minutes, Toon Link finally found the right switch. He pointed up at it, well above his height level. "That's the one," he told Dark Pit.
Dark Pit looked to where Toon Link was pointing and put his hand on a switch. "This one?"
"No, the one that says 'Children,'" Toon Link said, pointing harder.
Dark Pit waited a beat and moved his hand to a new switch. "This one, then?"
"The one that says i'Children,'/i" Toon Link emphasized, losing patience.
"..."
"..."
"This one?"
"Ugh!" Toon Link hit himself in the forehead. He was beginning to feel the need to pee and he didn't have time for whatever game Dark Pit was playing right now.
Toon stood on his tippy toes to try and flick the switch himself but came up just short, so he looked around for anything to stand on. He saw nothing, however he did spot a wrench that looked like it was just long enough to let him reach.
"You've spent too much time serving that nature goddess," Toon Link told Dark Pit.
"I don't iserver/i anybody!" Dark Pit corrected him. "We just happen to have some common goals."
"Well regardless you're a terrible handyman," Toon Link said, standing on his tippy toes and reaching up. "Seriously, it's just flipping a switch."
Reaching as high as he could manage, Toon Link flipped the switch off, then back on. "See, it's-"
Considering the awkward way he was reaching, and the momentum needed to flip the switch, Toon Link suddenly lost his balance and fell back on his butt. The wrench, overhead as it was, went flying to the side in his clenched fist as Toon Link instinctively put his arm out to find something to catch his fall. Instead he found himself taking a 1 in a million shot, the wrench making contact with a test socket next to the breakers.
"Gyah!" The child let out a terrible yell as he convulsed for a couple of seconds, the electrical current flowing from the wrench, into his hand, and through his small body.
"Shit, shit shit!" Dark Pit cried, thinking fast as he swung his leg forward to kick Toon Link's hand away from the electrical socket.
"Holy crap, a-are you okay!?" he asked, leaning over Toon Link's body and lifting his head a bit, giving him a couple of slaps in the face to force him to regain some consciousness.
"Grandma…?" Toon Link moaned, opening his eyes. His heart was racing and he wasn't sure where he was or why he was suddenly on the ground. "What did...did someone Final Smash me?" He sure felt like it.
Dark Pit let out a sigh of relief and hugged Toon Link, glad that it didn't seem to be a serious injury despite it being a terrifying one. "No, it wasn't a horse," he said, quickly regaining his cool composure and pulling back. "You fell down and sort of shocked yourself."
"Oh…right..." Toon Link said, breathing hard and remembering falling backwards. The adrenaline was starting to wear off and he was regaining feeling. His flickering eyes stabilized a bit as he remembered how he got here, and they suddenly shot wide as he realized exactly what was going on. "Uh...Dark Pit…?"
"Yeah? What do you need?"
"Did I...pee?"
Dark Pit looked down and winced internally, though for now he was focused on comforting the boy. "Hey, don't worry about it. You got shocked, Pit will understand."
Toon Link, still dazed, nodded and accepted the logic.
"Here, let's see if you can move. Try sitting up," Dark Pit offered, pushing the boy's back forward a bit.
"K…" Toon Link moved to a sitting position, looking around for a second. Something didn't feel right so he looked down. Sure his pants were wet, but still...
"Pittoo…?" he started again.
"What's up?" Dark Pit asked.
"Am I...sitting on something?"
Pit shook his head. "Not that I saw. Thank Viridi you didn't hit your head or anything."
Toon Link nodded his head and wiggled his butt a bit. After a second, he realized just what he was sitting on. His eyes went wide and his hands shot to his butt, confirming his suspicion.
"I think I...I think…" he started, tearing up as he confessed. "I think I might have… maybe... pooped my pants…"
Dark Pit pulled away a bit in disbelief. 'Forget night diapers!' he thought to himself. i'This kid is totally not potty trained at all!' /i
