And so drama begins.
Let's introduce the two teams who dare to decide Villager's fate with Petal and Turnip...
LEFT CORNER (Turnip): Samus, Blue Ink & Orange Ink, Leaf, Ness, Sonic, and Dark Pit.
RIGHT CORNER (Petal): Red, Princess Zelda, Lucas, Toon Link, Pit, Pikachu and Jigglypuff.
Which team will give Villager the girl of his dreams? It's time to find out...
Despite Princess Daisy's warnings earlier, even so they still were determined to hook up Villager with either Petal or Turnip, though it was plain to see that weren't thinking of their friend, Villager, anymore. They seemed to be only interfering and making decisions for him for perks, which was the whole point. Though at the same time, it was Villager's own stupid fault. Why did he start acting like such a two-timer in the first place?
Both teams were seated at the Smash Mansion Conference Room, which had a long glass table with silver, sleek swivel chairs. The room was magnificent itself; a giant gold smash logo was placed on the wall at the very end of the room, rather amazing, see that when the morning light shines from another part of the room, It looks as if the light is shining from the gold emblem itself. A velvety, royal purple colour adorned the walls, all shiny and jazzy, whilst in the atmosphere, shone a radiant smash-ball shaped chandelier, which emitted rainbow-coloured beams from itself, (kinda like the actual smash ball itself, or a spirit) engulfing the room with artificial light.
The most awesome room in the Mansion. Period. (well, in my opinion, it is.)
The teams were both shouting and screaming and arguing and hollering at the top of their lungs, as well as banging on the conference table, and taking notes about their ideas and demands on who Villager should spend the "rest of his life" with. This went on for a few minutes, until Princess Zelda shut everyone up.
"LET'S CALM DOWN, AND REVIEW THE SITUATION!" she commanded, stamping her foot.
Everyone then did shut up and got on with the meeting. Zelda turned to the widescreen board and began to write notes there.
"Villager warned us not to interfere," she reminded.
Orange Ink scoffed. "Who cares what Villager wants?! We're talking free tickets to the Squid Sisters here!"
Blue Ink nodded and the rest of the Left Corner agreed.
"Stuff that!" Pit yelled. "Petal's actually been teaching me how to cook and I'm that close to being a master chef!"
Everyone in the Left Corner pulled faced and rolled their eyes at this.
"Oh, get real!" Dark Pit replied. "Turnip works in the Smashville magazine, so that means free posters, coupons, tickets for everyone!" he clenched his fist and repeatedly punched it into his other hand to further emphasise his point.
"Exactly! Not like the cheap stuff they sell back in Onett!" Ness huffed.
The Right Corner looked helpless, but Zelda swooped in to save the day.
"Ah, but Petal works at the Smashville CupCakery, which means we get coffee and cakies all for FREE!" she shot back, as an insanely happy expression grew on her face.
"SO THERE!" Lucas, Pit, Toon Link, Jigglypuff and Pikachu screeched in unison (well, actually, the Pokemon both screamed "JIGGLYPUFF!" and "PIKACHU!" but, whatever) and blew obnoxiously loud raspberries.
That's when Sonic suddenly rose from his chair and declared, "I'm going to do everything I can to get VILLAGER with TURNIP!" He yelled, violently tapping his pen on his notepad before running away.
"ME TOO!" Samus, Blue Ink & Orange Ink, Leaf, Ness, and Dark Pit echoed.
As they left, Daisy and the lone birthday boy Luigi Mario, had entered the Conference Room to see all that they all hadn't listened to her.
"Well, I'm on Petal's side!" Zelda turned to her team. "WHO'S WITH ME?!"
"YEEEEEEAAAH!" Red, Lucas, Toon Link, Pit, Pikachu and Jigglypuff howled, got up from their seats and followed the Hylian Princess out of the room.
Princess Daisy began to feel uneasy. Maybe all this wasn't such a good idea, she thought. I bet she was really regretting the fact she told Villager she could suss everything out, but she thought wrong. Daisy looked at Villager's flashy watch for a second.
"I thought you were-a supposed to be the-eh, Queen of Romance and-a Organising," Luigi rolled his eyes.
The Sarasaland Princess put face palmed herself and groaned.
"Wee-gee, ya gotta help me sort this out!" she begged as suddenly Toon Link excitedly ran back inside the room to grab the sweets box that had been left on the table and ran back.
"Come on, it's not like you've got anything better to do!"
Luigi looked down shyly and mildly blushed. She still hadn't figured it out. Well, all he could do was at least help out his almost-girlfriend.
"I... I guess not," he sighed.
"Well, come on, then!" Daisy pulled Luigi's arm and dragged him out of there.
I just hope they aren't too late in doing so!
Back in the Smash Mansion Common Room, the Right Corner, were racking their brains to find a way to get Villager to win the heart of Petal.
"We have to think up a way to get Villager to like Petal more Turnip." she rambled.
Red the Pokemon Trainer saw Toon Link with the sweets box, and took it from him, but he found that it was full of sweet wrappers, and Zelda shook her head, while the Pikachu and Jigglypuff and even Pit whimpered as they wanted their share.
"Toonie, we could have used those!" Zelda whined.
Toon Link giggled nervously.
"Wait!" Lucas popped, suddenly coming to life. "I remember Ness when fishing at Tortimer Island with Olimar, a few hours ago. He's got fish!"
Zelda raised an eyebrow.
"For a romantic meal! We can cook the fish Ness bought this morning. That's if he lets me nab it."
The rest of the Right Corner, smiled at that. Zelda gave him a thumbs up.
Luckily, Princess Daisy and Luigi had entered.
She tried to console them one last time.
"Hey, if you guys don't back down, I'm sure Orange will do the same," she warned. "It's none of our business, after all!"
The entire team folded their arms and glared at her.
Daisy took a step forward. "All right, a day's supply of treats if you do."
"Daisy, we're not interested." Zelda said through gritted teeth.
Daisy bent down to Pit, Toon Link and the Pokemon.
"A week's?" she smiled smoothly. She knew very well that the temptation of CHOCOLATE was the one thing Pit, Toon Link and the Pokemon couldn't resist.
"YES!" Pit and Toon Link whispered.
"Guys!" Red hissed.
Zelda walked towards Daisy and Luigi and led them out to the door
"We want Petal in and Turnip out. So if you're not with us..."
She "gently" pushes them out the room-
"...you're against us."
Daisy and Luigi rolled their eyes and sighed as they left.
"The other team next, I guess," Daisy groaned.
Well, well well! It seems as if the Right Corner were super serious about their "fishy" diabolical scheme for Villager and Petal. Which will later turn out to be a complete disaster.
Our two heroes then make their way to the hideout of the Left Corner, in one of the many rooms of the Smash Mansion, where they were finalising their plans for Turnip and Villager.
"So, it's sorted. We cook a romantic meal for both Turnip and Villager," Leaf decided.
"We can cook my fish," Ness suggested.
Leaf and the rest of the Left Corner grimaced at Ness' suggestion, right when Daisy and Luigi barged in and slammed the cupboard door the team were using for cover.
"If you guys back down now, the others have said they will!"
The entire team folded their arms and glared at her. Again.
"I bet they're here, to spying for the other team," Dark Pit jeered.
"Yeah," Blue Ink glared.
"We're-a not! We're only-a here to-eh, stop things before-it-a goes too far!" Luigi fretted.
Well, you'd think after two attempts at trying to get both teams to stop the act, they'd have given in. But NOOOOO!
Daisy and Luigi found themselves being shoved into the outside of the Smash Mansion, unto the Ultimate Battlefield, by Zero Suit Samus and Sonic.
"Ring the bell, or snitch to Isabelle, and won't even be able to live long enough to be SORRY!" Samus snarled.
"YEAH!" Sonic hollered and they slammed the door behind them.
"UNBELIEVABLE!" Daisy screamed, as she and Luigi plopped themselves down onto the ground.
Daisy had tried everything to get the teams to stop everything, however, the whole situation seemed hopeless! And it was all her fault! Well, knowing that princess, she probably doesn't think it's her fault. But that is Daisy for you. Villager was probably going to be back from Moray Towers any moment from now, rather pissed off that Turnip hadn't showed up.
Daisy on the other hand, finally acknowledged the reason for Luigi's lifelessness throughout the events. Poor Luigi looked completely out of it and depressed (kinda like the unused Game Over for Luigi's Mansion, but it's NOT THAT DARK, OMG, THAT PICTURE SCARES THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME ARRGH).
"Wee-gee! You've been such a blank page since this morning! What's up boy?"
Daisy pulled out her phone and checked her calendar for the date. And she broke into a cold sweat and blushed furiously.
HOW COULD SHE FORGET HER ALMOST-BOYFRIEND'S BIRTHDAY? She had been so busy with being Villager's romance manager she hadn't known.
"Ohhhh, man!" she babbled. "Today's your BIRTHDAY! I so totally forgot!"
"It...it doesn't matter," Luigi sniffed.
"Look, Wee-gee, I'm REALLY, REALLY sorry! It just slipped my mind! If I just hadn't been so self centred and stupid I would've seen that-"
"Princess! Its-a fine!"
The Princess of Sarasaland looked down, full of guilt. Why am I like this? Peach had always said that my personality would get me into hot water someday. And I didn't listen! Look where it's got me. Villager's gonna be back soon and he'll try and take it out on me! Well, it is my fault.
No! I'm strong. I can handle this. Just like I was able to handle the fact I almost lost my Kingdom to Tatanga all those years ago.
With that thought, Daisy leaned toward the green plumber and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled weakly, and rubbed his now rosy skin.
"Happy birthday, Luigi." she said softly.
"T-thanks Daisy. I'll-a never wash this-eh, cheek." Luigi flushed.
"Aw, that's fine. Just make sure you wash the rest of your body first!" she joked, trying to lighten the mood.
A cold sharp breeze blew across the battlefield, and a few yellow flower petals blew in the across both princess and plumber as they both cuddled each other in the now-empty battlefield outside the Mansion.
Symbolic much?
Notes: I enjoyed writing this chapter, and how the both teams screw each other over this stupid matter LOL.
I made reference to the unused Luigi's Mansion Game Over screen, in this story. If you see that picture, it will DEFINITELY ruin your love for Luigi for practically, the rest of your life. Most of the fighters here are a little out of character, but I did it for comedic purposes.
I mentioned Tatanga, the villain of Super Mario Land, and how Daisy felt about the whole thing in the past, and how it made her how she is today! ^_^
Also, Toon Link, Pit and the Pokemon will do anything for food. Just wanted to point that out. :)
The fish that Ness and Olimar caught way back in Chapter 1 is a plot device.
The next chapter will be the two teams battling it out to see if Villager deserves Petal or Turnip! And Villager comes back to a nasty surprise!
