A/N: I just wanted to thank all the people who have read the first chapter of my story; it really means a lot to me! And a big thank you to the anonymous guest who told me that today, June 23rd, was Sonic's birthday! You're awesome.

Chapter 2: Sonic's Birthday
Sonic just exited the train station, where he met up with one of his best friends in Smash, Mega Man. After all, he was the Blue Blur, and Mega Man was the Blue Bomber, so it was basically destiny. And non-Nintendo franchises had to stick together in a Nintendo game, right?
Mega Man saw the shine on his face as he looked around the city. Sonic was one of the first people to welcome him to the Smash Bros. Sonic immediately took him under his wing, showing him the ropes, and they soon became good friends.
"Where to?" Sonic asked.
"I was thinking we could head over to the giant race track and rent a few go-karts." Mega Man pointed to the giant race course, filled with twists, turns, loops, fire rings, explosives, tanks filled with sharks… The perfect course for the two of them.
"All right, let's go! Race you there!" Sonic took off running, knocking over Olimar, who was stalking the mayor as he walked home. Before Mega Man took off after him, he checked his communicator. He sent a text to all of the smashers, except a certain blue hedgehog, that said: He's distracted… You have at least twenty minutes before he wants to check out the stadium.
With that, he closed his communicator, and headed off toward the race track.
"All right, we have to get this set up as fast as we can!" Mario, and the rest of the smashers were all in the giant stadium, which was basically a giant football stadium, in the center of the city. "Link, how's the music?"
Link was on the stage with his band "The Mystical Fairies." The band consisted of Malon on the Marimba, Zelda on the Harp, Groose on the timpani, Marth on the trumpet, Ike on the sax, and himself on the ocarina. They were going to be the opening act for when Sonic entered the stadium. Link twisted a knob on the speaker that was attached to the electric Marimba, and it emitted a shrieking sound that turned everyone within a thirty meter radius deaf. "Still working on it..." Link said, rubbing his ears.
"Well, hop to it! Kirby, how's the food?" Mario walked up to the concessions table, which had everything from fried koopa soup (Bowser threw up when he saw that), to Cheep Cheep fillet. Mario noticed that one vital food was nowhere to be found.
"Where's the chili dogs?" Mario asked Kirby. Kirby just shrugged, and walked off, eating half of the food, along with the table, as he left, leaving Peach and Mr. Game & Watch to make even more food. You'd think that Mr. Game & Watch wouldn't be the best chef out there, with him being 2-D and all, but he actually beat Peach in the annual cooking tournament. She never liked him since.
"Captain Falcon, would you go fetch me some Chili Dogs, please?" Mario asked the captain, who was just playing baseball with Ness and Lucas.
"Sure thing! Sorry kids, gotta go!" And with that, and a few "Aww"s from Ness and Lucas, Captain Falcon sprinted out of the stadium.
"Alright… So that's food out of the way… Hey Link! Are You guys ready yet?" Mario asked, looking at his clipboard.
"Yeah, we're all good! Want us to do a practise run?" Link asked.
"I'm sorry, but that won't be necessary!" The voice who answered back was not Mario's, but Bowser's! Bowser, Ganondorf, and Wario were standing on a truck they just brought in. Bowser was holding an electric guitar, Wario was holding a bass, and Ganondorf was sitting behind a drum set. Bowser let out a long, and loud, chord, which further deafened the people around the area.
"We don't need 'The Mystical Fairies' services anymore. Now it's our time to shine!" Bowser played a really epic and awesome guitar solo, which amazed a the smashers.
"Look, Bowser. While I admit that was indeed impressive, it doesn't suit well with the style of the party." Mario told Bowser.
"I understand…" Bowser said, "Let's pack up, guys…" They started loading their instruments into the truck.
"Maybe next time, Bowser." Mario called back. When Mario's back was turned, Bowser picked up a pie and threw it right at Mario's head! A large "oooohhh" went out through the smashers, like when a student talks back to their teacher.
Mario turned around, and his face was redder than his clothes! "Look, Bowser, I'm gonna be the bigger man here and ignore you. We Have to get ready for Sonic's birthday, and we can't unless we have everybody helping! So, I suggest either heading home and missing the fun, or helping us by not interfering!"
A cheer went up in the stadium, and bowser knew he had been beat. "Alright, Mario. You win. Frenemies?" Bowser extended his hand.
Mario smiled and reached out to grab it, but right before he could shake it, Captain falcon entered, holding an entire chili dog stand, person and all, with his arms. He saw the pie on Mario's back, and yelled, "It's not a food fight until I enter!" He put the chili dog stand down, and threw a chili dog at Mario.
Now, if you think this is going to turn into a giant food fight, you'd be dead wrong. Instead, it hit Mario's head, making him topple over Bowser, which caused him to fall on his back. When he landed, he belched out a fireball, which caused the concessions table to catch on fire! Everybody started panicking, and they were soon all trapped in the middle of the stadium, with the fire slowly, but surely, making its way toward them.
"Whew! That was tons of fun!" Sonic screamed as they exited the race track. He had one every single one of his races, and he didn't even need a go-kart!
"Yeah… It was great." Mega man rolled his eyes as Sonic went to go look for chili dogs. In the meantime, Mega Man checked his communicator, where he had only one new message: Help! Stadium's on fire! Long story… Involving Captain falcon bringing a whole chili dog stand to the stadium"
"Uh oh…" Mega Man said.
"'Uh oh' what?" Sonic, who snuck up behind Mega Man, asked. "Ah, never mind. Did you know that there isn't a chili dog stand here? Weird…"
"Um…" Mega Man said, "You know how it's your birthday today, right?"
"Yup."
"Well, I was distracting you while the rest of the smashers set up a surprise party." Mega Man said.
"Really! Awesome! Is it ready? I swear I'll pretend you didn't tell me." Sonic looked around for anybody hiding in the bushes.
"Well… It was supposed to be in the stadium, but… It caught fire." Mega Man nervously laughed.
"What? Oh, I get it, this is a joke, right! Part of the surprise! Clever, but you can't get anything past me!" Sonic said, looking accomplished with himself.
"Uh… Yeah! And since neither of us know where the stadium is, we gave you one clue: follow the smell of the burning chili dogs." Mega man said. "But we have to hurry, or else we won't make it in time!"
Sonic sniffed the air. "I caught a scent!" He said, "Really far away,though. Hop on my back, Mega Man! I do love a challenge!" Mega Man hopped on his back, and Sonic sped ahead, making Mega Man hold on for dear life.
They arrived at the burning building, and heard screams from the inside. "Wow, screaming, too? You guys tried to make this authentic!" Sonic exclaimed. "Now, how are we gonna fix this? Oh! I know!" Sonic went to the four corners of the outside of the stadium, and pried off a part of the fire hydrants at each; all of them were angled toward the stadium." The Stadium was on a lower level than the rest of the town, and the fire hydrants, so soon the entire stadium was filled with water, forming a giant lake.
The smashers all swam out of the water to Sonic and Mega Man, whose jaw was literally touching the floor because of what just happened. They all went up to Sonic and lifter him up. "Hooray for Sonic! Our hero!" They put him down, and Mario walked up to him.
"Sorry for ruining your birthday party. You see, when-" Mario was cut off by the Blue Blur himself.
"Sorry? That was awesome! Never had so much adrenaline pumping through me for a while! First the go-kart racing, then the dash through the city, and finally, saving the greatest warriors in the universe? Couldn't of been better! Unless I had a chili dog…" Sonic's eyes lost a little bit of its shine when he remembered about the chili dogs.
"Never fear, I am here!" Captain Falcon shouted. He reached into his shirt, and pulled out a soggy, dripping wet chile dog. "Saved it just for you!"
"Err… thanks." Sonic took a bite of the chili dog, and shivered. He pretended to swallow.
"Thanks a lot, man." Everybody laughed at him, and they all went back to have an actual party at Sonic's living area.
The mayor was walking around town, enjoying the view. "I think I'll visit that lake later on." He said to himself as he walked. "Wait a minute… we don't have a lake! And that's where the Stadium is supposed to be…"
He sighed a deep, heavy sigh, and went home, hoping it that his whole life was just a giant dream.
A/n: So, is this a good size for a chapter? I still don't know how long I want each of the chapters to be. Anyways, who should be in the next chapter? I'm hoping to update every other three days, with random updates if I'm in the mood. Suggestions/ feedback always needed. Until next chapter.
