"Here it is," Peach said, pointing to the stone door. I looked at it amazed. I had never seen a door made out of rocks. They were always wood.
"Please knock before you go inside so he knows it's you," Peach asked. I nodded walking over and knocking.
"Derek, come in," Master Hand called. As I expected, he was a giant hand. He was a white glove basically.
"Please, sit down, Derek." Master Hand said in a stern voice.
"So, um, why am I here?" I asked nervously.
"I called you to give you your outfits for living in this place, along with assigning you your bedroom." he said. I felt so creeped out by him that I started shaking in creepiness. Why is there a hand for a headmaster? That is just plain strange.
"I have decided to give you a bedroom with a roommate. You will have the east side and he will have the west side. If you both feel comfortable in the same bed you could sleep like that.
I don't know why but I had a feeling. A feeling that somebody would be waiting there for me. As long as it is not Peach or Zelda. The reason why is because it would be awkward if a woman and a man were roommates. I respect women's privacy. Part of me hopes it's Fox. He is such a cutie. My face starts turning red at the thought of being his roommate.
"Here is your new outfit," Master Hand said. He handed me an authentic Fire Emblem spear fighter outfit. At least, the label on the package says so. It is a blue and gold uniform that comes in a clear package. I take it and look at it more closely. It had a tablet that comes with it.
"That is a moveset panel. You get to create your moveset for Smash Bros matches. Do it tonight so I can register you as a resident," Master Hand explained, "you can use the changing room down the hall."
I quickly moved to the changing room and I started to worry. How will I look in this? Will people take me seriously? I come out of the room wearing the outfit. The gold weirdly matches my caramel colored hair and it fits me just right.
I come out of the stall in the outfit.
"Wonderful, now you look the part," Master Hand approved, "now time for a moveset."
I picked up the tablet and turned it on. The first step was to create the specials.
For my standard I chose to use my throwing knives.
I then had to choose a side special. I decided to throw my naginata as a boomerang. That was a special trick I used to kill the people who threaten my sleep. Yes, I sleep with my weapon.
After that, I had to have my down special, which is my counter.
I chose my recovery to be the thing that I can go up and hover for a short time by spinning my naginata fast. It might do damage above me and that would be sweet.
Next thing I knew I saw a sphere-like thing come out of the tablet. "Destroy it!" Master Hand said. I hit it with my naginata. Or was it my dagger? Whatever.
Anyway, I felt energy flowing through me. It was like I have a hidden power just waiting to come out. I went to use it, and a critical hit with both my naginata and dagger.
"So, you have 2…" Master Hand observed. I did a slight nod. I did not not what that meant. Was that a good thing? I could not tell his facial expression because he has no face.
"Here is your room card. The room number is 19," Master Hand pointed to the card on his desk, it was a blue and green card with a number 19 on it.
He told me to go to the living room where the other fighters were.
I nodded and headed there. I suddenly hear a large Bang in a nearby room. I look in the living room and there are visible fumes in the area where there is a hole in the couch.
A woman in a blue jumpsuit entered the room. "Wario! Get back here!" she yelled.
A fat guy in yellow and purple came from the kitchen into the room. He had a box of garlic chips. "What is it woman?! I was just about to get more garlic sauce!" Wario said.
"Don't act dumb. One, my name is Samus. And two, I know this was you because you are the only one whose farts cause destruction!" Samus scolded.
I go over to the two while going against my thoughts. "Hello there, Samus, Wario. I'm Derek, the new guy." I said nervously.
"Hey, there, nice to meet you" Samus said.
"What the hell do you want?!" Wario sounded annoyed.
And like all people who act stupid because their friend list is small, he gets punched in the face by the lady. "Wario, at least act civilized!" Samus sighed.
I started laughing as I started thinking they are a couple. "You guys are so funny together. Are you guys a thing or…" I stopped as I realized that I got a glare from Samus.
"He'd wish." Samus rolls her eyes. "I'm going to see Peach now. Bye. And nice to meet you, Derek." Samus walks off to the couch as she sits with Peach and Zelda.
I looked at a clock on the wall. It was 5:27, and I was hungry. It was about 3 minutes until dinner was ready. I look around to distract me from my hunger.
I saw a section of gaming. Some kind of demonic woman and Fox were doing some shooting practice in the range weapon lounge..
I hear the sound of plates from the kitchen. I look outside and see a table. I was wondering Why the heck is it placed there. I go to it thinking about dinner. "Yoshi!" I know who that is... The cute little green dinosaur was setting the table for dinner. I swear, he is one of those you can just cuddle all day.
"I see that Yoshi isn't eating everything this time." I didn't quite recognize the voice. So I looked behind me. "Master Hand set you up?" It was Fox. "Um, yeah… He did. I have my room number right here." I gave him the room number. "Number 19 huh? Same as me. Looks like we're roommates." he gave the cutest smile. I felt my face starting to warm up. "Want to sit with me during lunch?" "Um… s-sure" "Ok, meet me where Peach is when it's ready."
He walks to Yoshi to talk to him. Yoshi looks at me and back at him. I wonder what they are talking about.
"Everybody, dinner's ready." Master Hand announced. I noticed there was a dog bowl and a plate on a platform next to the table. And right when I was about to see Fox, I heard a "bark" and a "quack". All of a sudden a dog and a duck run to them.
I looked around to find Fox. He is talking to Yoshi still. I walk over to them and tap Fox's shoulder. I don't think he was expecting me to show up since he punched me in the face.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't know it was you." he said with a sorry tone. "It's ok. It didn't actually hurt." I said. I saw the expression of his face change to happy.
"You can sit here" Fox pats the chair next to him. As I sit down on the seat the servers come over to the table. There were plates with fruit and fish. They really have it fancy do they?
They place the food in front of me along with everyone else. Everything looked so good.
I notice Robin is on the other side of me. "Hey" I greeted him. He looks over at me from his book. "Hello" He said. I noticed that the book was a war/action genre. I recognized the bow on the cover. 'The quest of Niles: a Conquest novel'
"I used to read that book" Robin was looking at me in curiosity.
I looked back a my food. It looked so delicious. I saw that everyone was eating. I took a bite of the fish. The seasoning is just right. It was the best thing I ever ate.
"It's good isn't it?" Fox said. I give him a look saying yes, yes it is. I saw his tail wagging. It makes him look so adorable. I felt my face getting hot.
"So um… Your tail is wagging. What does that mean." I get curious about that a lot. I never saw a fox wag it's tail. I know when a house dog has a wagging tail it means it's happy. But a fox…
"Oh, it means I'm really happy. It's because of this food. It's also because…" Fox drifted off leaving me wondering his second reason.
When everyone was finished with the food we had to clean the room. I decided to sweep the floor, it wasn't that bad. The only messy spot was Wario's place on the floor.
I put the broom in the closet that is weirdly next to the shooting range. I look over there and see that there is a section for throwing objects.
I went over to one of the booths and summoned a dagger. I prepare it and am about to throw it. I then heard a sudden noise that threw off my shot.
"Pikachu! Get over Here!" I heard a voice that sounded familiar as something ran between my feet and grabbed my right leg.
"Pika..." Pikachu said in a frightened voice. "What?" I ask it. "Pikachu, I know you took my sunflower seeds!"
It was Falco. I know because it was that anthro bird guy with a gun.
"Sunflower seeds?" I said in a tone meaning 'really'
"What? I'm a bird. I need my daily pieces if yumness."
"Just go to the store and buy more." i tell him
"Ok, fine!" Falco groaned walking back to the direction of the living room.
I prepare another shot with my dagger aim and… bullseye.
A couple throws later I grew tired.
I asked Pikachu where my dorm, number 19 was. He started running to the hallway and I followed him. He stops and points to the 4th door to the right. I go inside and find all my belongings put up somewhere in my room.
There was also stuff that weren't mine. Must be Fox's stuff. Who knew he likes darts?
I got to my bed, the one to the right. I changes into the night clothes that were folded on the top.
I hear a knock on the doorknob.
