The "Lifelight" song continued to chime and echo throughout the rooms of the Mansion Of Smash. Fighters like Red and Leaf (Pokémon Trainers) and Dark Pit (please don't call him Pittoo) just stood there, in front of the chiming phone, not even bothering to so much as to walk and pick it up, despite being like, five feet away. They were just standing there, folding their arms, bored with the whole affair.
"I'm getting fed up with this now," Red groaned.
"Tell me why Villager didn't choose ONE girlfriend to date?" Leaf asked sarcastically.
"'Cos then our lives would be, too quiet!" Dark Pit replied in a high pitched voice first and reverting back to his normal, gruff voice.
It's amazing how they just ignore the phone like it's not even ringing. It still continued to ring, however.
Then there was the sound of rushing footsteps coming from the stairs of the Mansion. It was Iggy Koopa, twin brother of Lemmy Koopa, one of the Koopalings and Bowser Jr's alternate fighters from the Fourth Tournament, now competing again in the Ultimate tourney. This guy was just TOO DEMENTED for words, seeing as he seemed to be only one that was even bothered to go pick up the phone. He rushed towards it, only to be stopped.
"NO!" Red, Leaf and Dark Pit screamed. That startled the koopa kid, and he froze.
The phone still continued to ring.
"Villager's mobile is getting repaired," Leaf explained.
"So, if you want to be like a koopa yo-yo, let it RING!" Dark Pit scolded.
Come to think of it, where was Villager himself during this? Well, it just so happened to be upstairs in one of the Mansion bathrooms, getting ready for his hot date with Turnip. Princess Daisy banged on the door to let him know that the phone was ringing. Again.
"Hey Vill, phone!" Daisy called, banging on the door.
"Well then, go answer it, dammit!" Villager snapped, who had just finished combing his hair.
"Everyone's refusing to!" Daisy replied.
Villager groaned. Of course. Every time one of his girlfriends called, the other fighters had the job of having to answer the phone for him. However, everyone had gotten sick and tired of the whole routine. He opened the door reluctantly for Daisy. By then the telephone had stopped ringing.
"And now, there's no need," Daisy said innocently.
Villager rolled his eyes.
"So, which of your girlfriends are coming to 'smash' with you this time? If you know what I mean….?" Daisy remarked smugly.
Villager decided to ignore that snarky little undertone. "I've got a date with my girl Turnip," he smiled.
Daisy then caught attention to what was glistening Villager's arm. It was actually a red velvet diamond watch that his girlfriend gave to him. A wide smile grew on the Sarasaland Princess's face.
"Now that, I like!" she marvelled at Villager's arm and he took out his arm for her.
"Turnip gave it to me."
"And last week Petal brought you new trainers! I must say having two girlfriends does have its advantages…" Daisy teased.
"Daisy!" Villager hissed.
Then, a thought suddenly popped into Daisy's head. This wasn't at all surprising! This girl was all about crazy ideas. Daisy's friend, Princess Peach had said that Daisy was practically famous for it. All I know, this scheme better not try and undermine Villager's simultaneous relationships with Petal and Turnip. Though I could be wrong…
"If you were to give me that fancy watch… it wouldn't be too hard for me to answer all your calls," she smiled sweetly.
Luckily, Villager knew what Daisy was like and shut her down.
"Daisy, you're NOT getting your hands on my watch!"
"Then step aside and let me take a dump!" Daisy sighed and pushed past Villager to get into the bathroom while he left.
Pathetic. Utterly Pathetic. Daisy's up to something, I know she is. If she wants to try and interfere with my love life then she's got another thing coming! Villager thought. In fact, I mean everyone!
Daisy's actions lead to some pretty big consequences later on, but we'll get onto that soon.
Meanwhile, let us bring us to the perspective of Princess Daisy's almost-boyfriend, everyone's favourite green plumber, Luigi Mario. He happened to be in the Training Area, where all the fighters were required to train and prepare for battles throughout the Ultimate Tournament. He was practicing to use his brand-new Poltergust G-00 that inventor Professor E. Gadd had made for him. It was the least that he could do, since he was bored. He was singing to himself, "Happy birthday to-a me, happy birthday to-a me… Happy birthday dear Luigi…. Happy birthday to-a meeee…..."
Yes. Today was his birthday. And let's hope that Daisy and Mario know! I mean, what kind of almost-girlfriend would Daisy be for not knowing when Luigi's birthday is…...? Oh man, she doesn't. She was busy trying to figure out how to get Villager to make her be his "love doctor".
When Luigi had finished with his ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner, a wave of sadness and neglect washed over him. He then suddenly fell onto the cold hard ground, feeling sorry for himself, and pulled out a green cupcake with sprinkles that Princess Peach had made for him a few days ago.
"Why-a meee? Why does everyone have to-a forget about Luigi?" he moaned like one of those ghosts he'd sucked up during one of his spooky misadventures in his mansion. In an attempt to gobble up the sweet treat, he plopped on the cake onto his sausage nose, leaving a sticky green blob of the frosting there. He then continued his lonely tune.
"Happy birthday to-a me, happy birthday to-a me… Happy birthday dear Luigi…. Happy birthday to-a meeee…..."
Notes: Yes, I know, just because it's Luigi's birthday, means it's Mario's, however, since Luigi's a supporting/main character here, I wanted the focus to be on him. Petal's design is based off Villager's female "alternate costume" (Daisy Top) and Turnip's female "alternate costume" is a "Turnip Top".
