"Hiya!" You cried as you send a punch toward your opponent's way. He dodged it with a graceful jump in the air and came down charging at you. You gasped and leaped away.

"Phew, that was a close one, you've gotten quicker, Mario." You said to him.

The red capped plumber smiled and charged at you again. You were ready to fight back when a voice above you announced,

"Time's up!"

You groaned. You've just gotten ready to give Mario a hit when you had to stop and rest. You didn't think you needed rest, but because it's the rule so you had to follow or to get kicked out of Smash Academy. You didn't want to get kicked out so you did as you were told.

You walked to your locker room, but an unpleasant surprise was waiting for you.

"Look who's here?" Came a very sweet voice. You knew that beneath that honey-dripped voice was something hideous.

"What do you want, Peach?" You looked at her with distrustful eyes. She's always causing trouble for you ever since you first came to Smash Academy.

"Nothing but a little 'present'". Peach gave you a catty smile. You had a very bad feeling inside.

"Get out of the locker room now!" You commanded her, not afraid that she would do something to you. You were better than her anyways.

"Don't need to yell at me, I'm going~" She gave you a fake smile, you knew that something terrible had happened while you were out there fighting Mario.

You were right. Your water was spilled all over the floor, your towel was all dirty looking and disheveled. Your locker was pried open and all your personal belongings were gone.

You panicked. You dashed out after Peach to get her to give you an explanation, but she was nowhere in sight.

You paced back and forth, unsure of what to do next when Mario showed up with a very worried expression.

"What's wrong?" Mario asked.

"Everything's wrong!" You cried in despair. "Peach had gotten into mischief with me again. Look what she did!" You pointed at the damage she'd done, Mario looked shocked. He believed Peach would pick on you, but he never realized how much Peach despite you until today.

"This is outrageous!" Mario said, getting angry each second. "I never thought she would do such a thing until now. I should've been more attentive to what you told me all this time!"

"Let's deal with it after our battle." You said, not wanting things to get out of hand. Mario decided to go against it.

"No, what she did was bullying. Smash Academy would never allow such thing happen here. We need to go and confront Peach."

You were hesitant. You were kind-hearted and didn't want Peach to get in trouble despite the damage she did to you and the people around you. You knew she's a good person inside, but she was somehow not showing it to you.

Mario also saw your hesitation and mistaken it as fear, he told you that you don't need to be afraid of her.

"I'm not afraid of her. I'm willing to stand up to her." You explained to him. "It's just that I don't want her to get in trouble. She must have worked hard to be enrolled in Smash Academy, and I don't want to disappoint her by dashing her dream against a rock."

"She is going against the rules." Mario reminded you. "Even if you didn't want to get her kicked out, she broke a rule and will still get terminated despite all of our efforts in helping her."

He's got a point. You agreed to report Peach, but with a very unwilling attitude.

Together, you and Mario went to Master Hand, the principle of Smash Academy and explained everything that had happened while you were in your locker room. Master Hand was indignant. Peach was a good student, he couldn't believe that someone so smart as her would do such a thing as causing disharmony among the Smash community.

"This is disgraceful!" Master Hand pounded his fist. You felt guilty for reporting Peach, but she broke the rule, you reminded yourself. She should be eliminated because of it.

"Thank you for reporting all the incident to me, Mario and (Y/N). I'll do as I see fit with Peach. You may both go back to your training." Master Hand escorted you and Mario out into the hall way.

"Thanks for coming to my rescue, Mario." You said. You didn't expect Mario to help someone new like you.

"Oh, it's nothing really." Mario looked embarrassed as he scratched the back of his head.

You smiled, and both of you walked back to the battle arena to continue your hot battle against each other.
