I forgot who I am. My name, my past, everything. Well, not my name. It's Derek. But my past is forgotten. All I know is that I'm in a room of some kind and there is a woman and a yellow thing in front of me.
"Hi, my name is princess Peach. And this is Pikachu." The lady said as Pikachu walked on my lap and nuzzles me.
"H-hello." I said scratching behind its ears.
"Pika- Pikachu," it said.
"Would you like something to eat?" Peach asked. Well, I was hungry. And this lady seemed awfully nice... I think I'll trust her. I nodded with Pikachu shocking my hand. Well, that hurt like hell. I pulled my hand back quickly.
"Oh, be careful when you pet Pikachu. His cheeks store electricity and will shock you if you touch him." Peach said in a 'sorry for not warning you' voice. "Follow me. Dining hall is this way,"she said walking to the door. I got up and accidentally dropped Pikachu.
Apparently people here don't get injured because when he fell on the ground he bounced and got back up. He started walking to the door with his adorable little legs. I followed with a feeling that something nice would happen.
As Peach led me down the dining hall I saw people of all kinds. Pokemon, robots, 2D, humans, and unknown species.
Peach pointed at the dinner bar. "You get your food over there. I'll meet you back here. I want you to meet some people." Peach said.
I went over to the lunch line, which was about 6 people long. In my opinion, that is short compared to food courts. I saw a spaceman with five little flower people in front of him.
"Hi, I'm Derek," I greeted to him.
He turned around to face me. He was as short as Pikachu and looks like those people you see on TV that talk about friendship. I think his eyes are closed. Is he legal?
"I'm Olimar," he said with a jump wave, "Welcome to the Smash Mansion. These are my Pikmin. Aqua, Macho, Pyro, Thunder, and Daku." I took a deep whiff of the smell of food. I smelt burgers out of meat… and tofu!
"Yeah, some people here are vegetarian. So tofu is a must. Like me and my Pikmin." Olimar said with an informal tone. Once I got to the food I took the burger and saw Peach waving at me at a table next to another woman in a dress, an anthropomorphic bird, a cute little green dino, and a person with a cloak-like jacket on. I went over to the princess nervous about what and who these guys were.
"Hello Derek. These are my friends: Yoshi, Falco, Robin, and my best friend Zelda." She said in a lovely voice.
"Yo-Yoshi," Yoshi said, waving.
"Sup," Falco said, trying to act cool with a Coke in his hand.
"Greetings," Robin said, looking up from his book.
"So this is the new person?" Zelda asked with curiosity.
I nodded timidly.
"Hmm. You look pretty cute for one," she said, causing me to roll my eyes. She reminded me of those mothers that like to embarrass their child. Either that or she was flirting with me, which is weird.
Yoshi growled as he threw an egg at Zelda.
"Ow. Bad yoshi, bad," Zelda said, pointing a finger at Yoshi. Yoshi gave Zelda an innocent look. "Yoshi, why are you so cute?" Zelda said. And she was right, Yoshi was so adorable! He had that look as if he doesn't do anything crazy.
"You guys be quiet, I'm trying to read," Robin said glaring at Zelda with the 'I will end you' look. That look was used by most of my family.
"Anyway, you are welcome to hang out with us, Derek. As long as you follow this one rule. Do not fight anyone outside of a Smash Bros match."
Robin closed his book as he looked up at me. "What weapons do you have?"
As he asked me the question, I started to sweat. Nobody really accepted that I used the ones I do.
"Um… I use naginata and dagger…sorry," I closed my eyes, getting ready for a lecture of why it is wrong for me to use naginata.
I heard clapping behind me.
"Good job. Most people don't admit their powers until a tournament starts." a husky voice said.
I looked back to see who it was. He was a fox anthro wearing a military jacket. He was wearing khaki shorts and boots.
"I'm Fox, pleased to meet you. Derek right?" he asked shaking my hand, "Welcome to the mansion," he said before walking off to the table in the middle of the room. He looked cute with that smile.
"See ya tomorrow." Falco threw his can away as he walked out of the dining hall.
"I'm getting tired," I yawned. Not to be weird or anything.
A voice came from the ceiling. "Derek, Please come to the office." I heard.
"Oooh," Zelda said. "You're in trouble."
Peach rolled her eyes. "He probably is just getting Derek set up for his life in this place."
"Um… can you help me find the office, Peach…?"
"Sure, Derek, follow me." Peach instructed, walking to what I thought was a hallway. I followed and it turned out to be a lab. "Samus and Olimar do experiments in this place on alien life. They also do experiments on Falco and Fox because of their cornerian heritage." peach continued walking to the office-like room. I knew right then my life was just beginning.
