You walked into a dark alley, thinking about what happened that day and couldn't help wonder if you will ever find any friend.

You just joined the Smash universe two days ago. Everyone was super nice to you since you are one of the newest member of the Smash family. You felt happy. You've been the loner for as long as you can remember, and when you joined the Smash universe, you really believed people there was going to like you. But things weren't going as smoothly as you thought.

For one thing, on the first day of your arrival. You were in the cafeteria. You weren't looking and ran Peach over. The food got all over her dress and she was super upset about it. You apologized to her and she refused to accept the apology. You walked away, feeling defeated. Why is it so hard to make friends in a new environment?

Then, she takes you on for a challenge during your free time. She wanted to get even with you. You didn't want to look bad in front of so many people, especially in front of your crush Mario, who immediately took you and showed you around when you got here. So you accepted the challenge and fought with Peach. You were badly wounded and defeated. But you managed to get up and walked away. You didn't know Mario took all that in and secretly followed you.

You heard some strange noises behind you. You whipped around and saw a masked figure standing in your way. You asked.

"Who are you?"

The stranger made no reply. Then he came to attack you. You groaned. Today was just a bad day for you. Since you were still wounded by the fight with Peach, you couldn't resist much longer and eventually was forced against the wall by the stranger. Just then, a voice challenged.

"Ai ya ya, picking on a girl is not cool. Whoever you are."

You gasped and raised your head. A man with blue overalls and a red undershirt stood before the stranger. His signature "M" cap was especially bright against a dark moonless night. It was your hero Mario! You smiled and then everything went black.

When you came to again, Mario was holding you in his arms. He looked at you worriedly and asked,

"(Y/N), are you alright?"

You blushed and told him you were good and that no harm was done. He didn't believe you and was about to touch your arm when you cried out in pain. Mario furrowed his brow. He didn't like the sound of it. He insisted on taking you to the doctor's, but you were so afraid that you would mess everything up you were trying to talk Mario out of letting you go to the doctor's.

Mario was skeptical. He didn't like it when you pretend you were strong when you were not. Much to your dismay and protest, he took you to the doctor's, bridal style.

When you got to the doctor's, the doctor bandaged you up and told you not to do anything that require hard working. You sighed. You really wanted to fight, especially alongside of Mario. But the doctor said if you do not listen to the advise, then you'd ruin your ability to fight. You grumbled but accepted the fate.

Mario looked at you with an unexplained expression. He asked you if you are alright. In frustration and disappointment, you told him everything that was on your heart. He listened, sometimes nodded to show sympathy. Finally, you broke down and cried. You had never cried so hard like this ever since you were expected to act with dignity. But what happened next shocked you very much.

Mario had reached over to you and pulled you in a hug. He rubbed your back in comfort. You sobbed your heart out. He gently stroke your hair, whisper to your ears, telling you that everything is alright now and that he would do his best to take care of you for the rest of his life.

You stopped crying at the sound of that. You looked up suddenly and was met by that icy blue eyes of his. To you, time seem to stop at that moment. As if in a dream, Mario brought your chin up with his finger, leaned in and kissed you. It wasn't a strong kiss, just a gentle dab on your lips, then he stayed there. You widened your eyes in surprise, but managed to kiss him back. The two of you shared a romantic night, only the two of you.
