"I think I'm now afraid of spiders." Marth whimpered while hiding under the golden and white covers.

After being thrown in the spider pit, Shulk had decided to take Marth back to the dorm rather than finding out Master Hand's 'big announcement' he had promised yesterday. No one had any idea what it was, and nobody really cared.

"I guess I can't blame you for that." Shulk commented as he put down his book. "Are you ok?"

Marth's head peeked out of the covers. "I was just in a bottomless pit of Tarantulas! Do you think I'm OK?" he snapped.

"Fair point." Shulk mused. "And by the way I saw those spiders. They weren't Tarantulas. They were Trap-Door spiders. You can tell because they came from underground."

Marth's eyes began to narrow. "How do you know that?" Marth asked.

Dang it! Shulk thought. There goes my smart mouth again! "My best friend is Arachne phobic- I mean afraid of spiders! So I did some research so I could assure him they wouldn't hurt him!"

"Really? Then what book are you reading?" Marth asked.

"Rumpelstiltskin" Shulk responded as he held up the book.

"O-Ok." Marth said like he was hoping for something else. "You really love fairy tales don't you?"

Shulk nodded. "It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but they all just…spark something in me. Don't judge me."

But before Marth could say anything Dark Pit walked in, closely followed by Lucina who slammed the door quickly.

"Wha-What are doing here?" Shulk asked appalled.

"Hiding" Lucina ran towards Shulk's bed and climbed under the covers. "Is this your bed? Because I'm taking it if you don't mind."

"Yes that is my bed." Shulk said. "Why are you hiding?"

"Because of the ball that's happening next week- anyways Shulk I felt bad about you only having a pop tart and decided to get you some tea and a crumpet." Dark Pit said while handing Shulk the items.

Shulk put the items on the table and smacked his head. "For…the…last…time" He growled. "I'M NOT BRITISH!"

"Of course you are!" Dark Pit sneered. "You have the accent and everything! Now do you want to pray to mother England?"

"I don't even know where England is!" Shulk screamed. "AND I'M CERTAIN THOOSE ARE STEROTYPES!"

"Anyways." Marth said while stepping out of the bed. "What did you say about a ball?"

"There's going to be a ball next week." Lucina said. "With dancing and dresses and everything. I'm hiding because most of the boys decided they need a date and have decided to ask me. Even Yoshi asked me out."

"And you don't want that?" Shulk asked.

Lucina pulled the covers off. "There's only one boy who I'll say yes to, and he hasn't asked me. Now there's a little bet I want to make with you." She looked at Shulk.

"Wha-do you mean me?" Shulk asked. "What's the bet?"

Lucina grabbed out some playing cards and smiled. "We're going to play go fish. If you win, you get anything you want from me. But, if I win you have to go dress shopping with me."

"OOOOOHHHH." Marth said while picking up the tea and taking a sip.

"Shut up." Dark Pit snapped.

"Dress shopping?" Shulk asked. "Whatever for?"

"A fairy godmother is definitely not getting me a dress for the ball." Lucina said. "I want you to come with me because well you're a guy and your super judgy about how girls look."

"That's another stereotype." Shulk pointed out. "Anyways, I'll do the bet, but if I win you have to let me wear your crown for the day."

Marth spit out his tea.

"EEEEEWWWW!" Dark Pit snarled. "Clean up your mess right now!"

"I accept." Lucina said while sitting down. "Let's play shall we?"

The game went on for about 30 minutes while Marth and Dark Pit watched while eating the food Dark Pit bought Shulk. The end result, however was Lucina winning.

"Looks like I won." Lucina said with a smile.

"Well then." Dark Pit beamed. "Guess you're going dress shopping tomorrow?"

"Looks like it." Shulk said while standing up. "Man. I was really looking forwards to wearing that crown of yours."

Lucina stood up as well. "That was fun." She breathed. "Now I have to pick out where we're going tomorrow."

Shulk smiled. "Looking forward to it."

And that wasn't a lie.

"Ganondorf." Bowser said with a sigh. "Why do you want to ruin the ball for everyone? I'm actually looking forward to it!"

"Because." Ganondorf snarled looking back. "People will be having fun. Even Link. He doesn't deserve it. I don't care what I have to do. I will find some way to ruin everything for everyone. You can count on it."
