Meanwhile, Princess Daisy and Villager got to the door, he bolted out when they saw the coast was clear.

"I'll see you later!" she hissed, as Villager left.

At that very moment, Luigi (see, I didn't forget him, did I?) who had come back from the Training area with his Poltergust G-00, had seen Villager leave as he returned to the Smash Mansion.

"Where's he-a rushing off to?" Luigi asked.

Without responding, Daisy rather rudely yanked her almost-boyfriend's arm and quickly hussled him into the Mansion, slamming the door behind. Later, they were both in Daisy/Peach's shared room in the Mansion. Yes, the fighters have to sleep in the same bedrooms as one another. But NOT in bunk beds, thank goodness. That would have been a little... um.. "summer camp". The rooms are split in half. Everyone had to pull names out of Mario's hat to find out who was sharing a room with who. Peach and Daisy had been the lucky ones. People like King Dedede and King K. Rool... not so much. It is no fun for them at all. It is horrible!

But I digress.

Princess Daisy had taken Luigi to her shared room to give him the low-down with Villager and his Two-timing schedule. Oh, and the fact that she was his "Love Doctor". She looked down and admired Villager's red velvet diamond watch on her arm.

"So, I've convinced Villager that I should be in charge of his love life and- Luigi, am I talking to myself?" Daisy stopped.

Poor Luigi was still moping about the fact that everyone had forgotten his birthday. He had a right to! I mean, he's NUMBER TWO out of all these fighters, and yet they can't be bothered to put in their little calendars that Luigi's birthday is today! He snapped to attention when Daisy called him.

"Huh?" he grunted.

Daisy sighed. He likes her almost-boyfriend and all, but sometimes his shyness and wimpish nature could often get the better of him.

"I said, I've now been employed as Villager's romance manager!" she continued, and tossed a pink heart shaped pillow (belonging to Peach) at Luigi to wake him up a little, which he caught.

"But Daisy, what-a you know about, about-eh, love, romance and other people's-a feelings?" Luigi asked, clutching onto the comfy thing.

Luigi also knew what Daisy was like. Always poking her big nose in other's business.

"A great deal." she replied. "With my help and expertise, Villager will have the most successful love life in the history of the universe!"

Hmph. So Princess Daisy of Sarasaland clearly had a set goal here. To help Villager organise his love life, even though he reassures and tells everyone that he is capable of it all himself. By how things are going to go later, though, he may have second thoughts.. but like I said before, things will happen soon!


RING RING!

The first few bars of "Lifelight" chimed throughout the Mansion once again. Orange Ink (Inkling Girl) went to go and answer the door, and who do you think she met?

Turnip. Villager's other girlfriend, who he was supposed to meet at Moray Towers. Despite her pine green turnip top she wore and her girly hairstyle, she appeared to have a rather tomboyish voice, almost like Daisy's but a little less high-pitched. She looked rather worried, and had a box of sweets in her hand, presumably for her boyfriend.

Orange's eyes widened. "Oh, um... hey Turnip. Villager's gone out." she gurgled.

"I tried calling here earlier on to tell him that I couldn't make it, but no one picked up the phone so I rushed over to see if I could catch him before he left!" Turnip explained.

Orange rolled her eyes and looked behind her. "I'm sorry, but you're too late."

"Oh, man!" she face palmed herself. "That's really gonna annoy him! Villager will totally dump me when he finds out."

"Just because you missed a date?"

"No, it's not just that, it's 'cos he's been acting kinda odd lately. Kinda distracted," she continued.

"I even got him tickets for that new pop group, he's taken an interest in! The Squid Sisters?"

The very moment that name was mentioned, Orange Ink snapped back into reality. Whenever that pop duo was mentioned, it would send her and Blue Ink (Inkling Boy) into overdrive. They are both OVERLY OBSESSED the Sisters. Orange and Blue would do ANYTHING to see them live (even though I bet they've seen them perform like, a million times).

Orange let out a melodramatic gasp.

"O.M.G. I LOVE THEM!" she squealed. That's when a thought popped inside her head (geez, what is it with everyone and crazy ideas and schemes today?).

"You know what you gotta do, Turnip?! You have to leave the whole Villager situation in my hands! I can handle it!"

"What, will you put a good word in it for me?" Turnip asked hopefully.

However, when the Inklings are in overdrive, there's no stopping them. Orange had other ideas!

"Get me a ticket! I'll put in hundreds!"

Turnip raised an eyebrow and looked unsure.

"Trust me!" Orange went on. "Villager wouldn't make a move without running it past me first. We're like siblings! Be back at 2:00, with my tickets! Stay fresh!" Orange gurgled happily, taking the box of sweets that Turnip had in her hand, and shut the door on her before Turnip had any objections to raise.

At that same time, Lucas had just finished sorting things out with the girly Petal, who had realised that Villager wasn't going to be back for a while, and would come back later.

"Will you put a good word in it for me?" Petal asked, and Lucas nodded.

"Great, I'll be back around 2:00."

As soon as Petal left, Orange Ink came into the room, discreetly hiding the sweet box behind her back that she'd taken from Turnip. She saw Petal leave and pulled a face.

"Ahem, Lucas, I thought Villager clearly told us to BUTT OUT of his private life?!" she reminded him.

(ERM, LOOK WHO'S TALKING!)

"I know, but it's just that... I felt sorry for the girl!" shrugged the boy.

The orange squid kid got up close and personal to Lucas. I think she meant business!

"Well, you're gonna feel even worse, 'cos Villager doesn't want Petal, she wants Turnip!" she grizzled.

Lucas narrowed his eyes and folded his arms.

"Oh, so it's gonna be like that, is it? Well, what makes you so certain?" he squeaked, trying to sound tough.

"It's 'cos she's been bribed!" Blue Ink appeared out of nowhere, and snatched the sweet box that Orange Ink was hiding behind her back and showed it off.

"NO, I HAVEN'T!" Orange Ink shot back, pushing her mate.

A half-scale riot broke out between everyone in the room over this matter. Pathetic, really.

Blue Ink continued shouting at Orange, while Sonic had taken the sweet box from Blue Ink, however, Red the Pokemon Trainer had snatched it up from from Sonic and started waving it about jokingly, while the kids (Lucas, Ness, Pikachu, Toon Link, Young Link etc.) jumped about, clawing for the box of treats, while Princess Zelda and Samus tried to intervene with the matter.

I purely think the whole fight would've ended in a 8-fighter smash or something if they'd hadn't been interrupted by Princess Daisy and Luigi who'd come from upstairs and arrived at the scene.

"STOP!" she hollered. Surprisingly, that brought the riot to a standstill. I bet, in her head, Daisy was thinking smugly to herself: Power.

"None of you have any right to poke your noses in Villager's love life! She's personally entrusted all romantic negotiations towards me. SO DROP IT!"


Notes: And there you have it, dear readers, you're about to see how all this drama with Villager and his boos begins! Let's start the trivia.

First of all, I made reference to King K. Rool's reveal trailer released in back in August, with how he almost killed poor Dedede. I'm hoping for some sort of continuous beef or animosity they have between each other. (Future stories, perhaps?)

"Lifelight" is also the Mansion door bell, 'cos, WHY NOT, LOL? ^_^

I also named Inkling Boy & Girl "Orange Ink" and "Blue Ink" as I couldn't think of names for them. (I also had to mention the Squid Sisters to honor their universe. Though I don't play Splatoon.)

One last thing... did you notice that Petal and Turnip both agreed that they'd be back at 2:00pm? At the same time...? O_O
