Welcome to the oversized, luxury Smash Mansion Common Room, where all the fighters just like to hang out, rest, discuss and share stories about their universes, fighting strategies and pretty much everything about the Ultimate World.
The Common Room had a rather calm vibe – Sonic was sitting comfortably on the sofa, cuddling with his very favourite Pokémon, Pikachu. Those two have gotten very close since Galeem's previous invasion in this world. Pretty convenient, seeing as they're both rodents. Sonic nuzzled the electric Pokémon's ears, while the blue hedgehog was half asleep from running almost 20 laps around Windy Hill Zone. Yes! 20 LAPS. He can do it so, anyway, since he claims to be the "fastest thing alive". It's just a pity that he managed to get himself killed by Galeem. Though that was because he tried to save is very favourite Pokemon.
Other fighters in the roster and competing in the Ultimate Tourney, were Princess Zelda (A Link Between Worlds) and Lucas, Ness's friend. Samus was still drinking her blueberry milkshake, while chatting to Princess Peach and Villager's secretary, Isabelle. They happened to be talking about the lack of female representation in the smash roster, and Samus demanded there to some sort of "female only" tournament. But "some hopes!" were added. Meanwhile, Pit was fiddling about with his weapons, slumped on sofa near Sonic and Pikachu.
Young Link and Toon Link were sat next to other. Young Link was yet again chugging down another jar of Lon Lon Milk, while his cel-shaded counterpart, Toon Link, was humming a tune to himself. Toon just loves to sing. And he's actually kind of good at it. While Young Link just loves to drink milk all the time. If you happen to see Young anywhere around This World, he'll always be clutching a jar of cow juice in his hands.
"I tell you, if he doesn't stop with the milk, he'll have spots on his face soon," Champion Link (Breath Of The Wild) had sniggered.
But what do you think Young Link does about it? He carries on drinking the milk like he's 2 months old or something.
Anyway, I think there were a few other fighters in the room, but I can't talk about all of them, as much as I love them! Let's get on with the story.
So everyone was just chilling out, after a gruelling day of training and sparring all over the World Of Light…. until Villager stomped into the room and stood in front of everyone, and ruined the whole vibe. I guessed he was still pretty pissed about the whole telephone thing.
"Do I have any messages for me?" He asked patiently.
The others just carried on as they were, staring into oblivion, as if Villager wasn't even there, just like the Smash Mansion Phone. Which pissed him off even more, considering the fact that they ignored his girlfriend's phone call, and now they had the common decency to ignore HIM.
"I SAID, do I have any messages?!"
Everyone groaned, however, Sonic spoke up.
"Villager, in case you haven't noticed, we are SICK and TIRED of picking up the phone to your girlfriends!" he declared.
"Why two of them, may I ask?" Leaf asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Just dump Petal!" Samus suggested. "It's so boring, the way she goes on and on about you!"
"Uh, no way! Dump Turnip, instead!" Zelda shot back. She then smiled, "Petal's sweet."
That's when the whole room suddenly almost erupted into conflict into who Villager should date and whom he should keep. Wait.. Wasn't it his decision...?
"EXCUSE ME!" he began."This is so NONE of your beeswax! My private life should be just that. PRIVATE! So stay out of it!" he snarled, and walked out.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooh!" Everyone mocked.
I tell you, they are so, immature! Villager thought to himself. I shan't take any notice of them.
He went downstairs towards the door, ready for his date with Turnip showcasing his flashy red watch she had given to him. This idea of mine, dating them simultaneously was a great idea! I've just got to make sure Petal doesn't catch me with... oh CRAP.
Villager snapped back into reality and looked outside the Mansion window. Sure enough, it was his other bae Petal, who had a bunch of flowers for him, coming from Smashville to see his boyfriend Villager, who was about to go and meet up with Turnip at Moray Towers.
"Oh, Lordy, Petal!" he panicked.
Villager looked hopefully downstairs for help. He luckily saw Princess Daisy walking towards the Common Room.
"Daisy!" he called from the staircase.
Daisy looked up at the young Animal Crossing resident who had rejected him before.
"Daisy! You gotta help me out! Petal's just turned up and I've gotta go meet Turnip!" he begged.
Princess Daisy grew a sly grin on her face and leaned against the fancy staircase. So now Villager was willing to strike a deal with the Princess of Sarasaland.
"No prob, Vill. Consider it done. In return, however, a small settlement of: me challenging you to 8-fighter battles for the rest of the month, oh, and that flashy watch of yours," she beamed.
Villager glared at her, looked back at his watch and clutched it. There was no way she was handing his precious diamond watch to that crazy princess. And she knew very well that 8-fighter battles were complete and utter HELL.
"That's blackmail!" Villager whined.
"It's a free market!" Daisy shrugged. "what you need is someone with my expertise, to help you organise your love life." Daisy showed herself off like she was some sort of genius. Well, I did tell you Princess Daisy is known for her crazy ideas!
Villager made a scoffing noise at her.
"I think you'll find that my rates are very reasonable."
As Daisy said these words, the Smash Mansion doorbell rang, which also just so happened to be the first few bars of "Lifelight" on repeat. I guess Villager was desperate, as Petal was right outside the door. He knew that he'd regret taking Daisy's deal later, but anything to make sure that he didn't get busted would save his bacon right now.
"You're on," he sneered, taking off the watch and throwing it to Daisy, who picked it up and put it on.
"Pleasure doin' business with ya. I'll get to work immediately," she said.
RING RING!
"I've got it!" Daisy yelled to let everyone know that she was answering the door.
Villager ran up the stairs and took cover.
"Yo, Lucas! Look after Petal will ya, I've got some business to take care of!" Daisy had dragged the pink-haired villager by the arm towards the Common Room, where Lucas was. Daisy left the poor Villager, stunned and confused, and with Lucas beaming up at her.
Next thing you knew, Petal and the other fighters were all slumped on the sofa, listening to Petal's ramblings about her two-timing boyfriend. If only she knew!
"You know, I often get the feeling that I like Villager more than he likes me," she began.
"What do you think?"
Like, the others didn't give a crap how she really felt about Villager. Though people like Princess Zelda and Ness were interested.
Little did they know, that Villager was sneaking out to catch up with Turnip. Lucas looked discreetly to see Daisy and Villager stealthily make their way to the front door for Villager. Daisy put a finger to her lips at Lucas to keep a low profile as the two-timer left.
"...it's just that I really, really like him. I really, really like him. Do you know what it means to really, really like someone?" Petal asked.
The others just stared at her.
"No, Petal," Leaf sighed, and everyone did too.
"But I'm sure you're gonna tell us."
Notes: Referenced in the beginning of this chapter, this story takes place after the "World Of Light" story mode, when everyone is saved. I also made reference to Sonic and Pikachu's apparent friendship. Everyone seems to be talking about it, since the story mode trailer in November. Zelda is also clearly on Petal's side, and Samus is on Turnip's! Other fighters will be added later in the story.
Daisy is an evil genius. :)
