"Sorry about what happened." Dark Pit said. "I was just mad that…"
"Woah, woah, woah!" Marth yelled. "Do not turn this into a seminar, I do not want to share my feelings! Anyways I'll forgive you I guess. I don't really care."
Did they switch personalities or something? Shulk thought as he held a mini flashlight up to his book (Hansel and Gretel) so he could read under the covers.
It was nighttime in the smash mansion, but everyone was wide awake due to the storm outside. Wind howled, and thunder boomed and as time passed it got even worse. So the good people of the smash mansion where entire partying, playing a game or vandalizing the portraits.
"Thank goodness!" Dark Pit yelled. "Whew. Got that out of the way! Now then. I have something to say to Shulk."
"Are you apologizing for calling me a genius?" Shulk asked as he popped his head out of the covers.
"No." Dark Pit said. "I wanted to yell at you. Seriously, why did you have to pick that fight?"
"What are you talking about?" Shulk asked.
"Peach has everyone convinced that you're a dangerous thug." Dark Pit snarled. "And now no one will talk to us! Well expect for Pit. Anyways, we can't even walk down the hallway without people throwing food at us!"
"In his defense she deserved it." Marth said as a put a mini cake in his mouth. "Lucina isn't the first person she has treated like this. First it was Zelda. Then it was Jigglypuff. She did it to a bunch of the assist trophies as well. I'm happy you said something. Someone had to stop her."
"Speaking of your girlfriend." Dark Pit said with a smile. "People are now calling you Beauty and the Bastard."
"For the last time!" Shulk screamed as he threw off the covers. "We aren't dating! And where is Peach? I want to talk to her!"
"At a party." Marth commented. "She keeps on posting pics on Instagram. It's pretty obnoxious."
"Then I'm going to." Shulk said as he stormed out of the dorm Marth and Dark Pit in tow.
In a couple of minutes, they finally arrived at the room that was used for parties. As they took a step inside they all gasped.
A glowing disco ball was hanging in the middle of the ceiling, shining light. A colored dancefloor was in the middle of the floor, and two copies of Dance Dance Revelation sat near the wall. A bar was near the end, and there Peach was. She was sitting with Mario, Rosalina, Zelda and Jigglypuff.
"That thug that some nerve to attack me!" Peach pouted. "He was way worse than Bowser ever could be! And my darling roommate won't even talk to me! What is she even doing with him? She should be with a handsome prince, not a stupid nerd!"
"I'm not a prince." Mario pointed out.
"You're the prince of plumbing." Peach pointed out. "At least that's what you told me! You haven't even taken me to your kingdom yet!"
Oh Bionis. Shulk thought with glee and disappointment. She thinks Mario is a prince! But it appears one thing Dickson told me was true, I'll never be with a princess.
"Hey." Lucina said sneaking th
sneass up behind Shulk. "I'm surprised to see you here."
Shulk nearly jumped out of his skin. "I could say the same to you!" He cried.
Lucina shrugged. "Peach dragged me here. I would much rather be at home reading a book. I still am reading, it's just loud here. Really loud."
"Shulk came to yell at Peach!" Marth yelled. "Now I'm going to play Dance Dance Revolution!" He walked over to the game and began to move his feet.
"I'll gladly support you." Lucina said as she revealed the title of the book.
"Sleeping Beauty huh?" Shulk asked.
Lucina nodded. "As embarrassing as it to admit I really love fairy tales. This one is my favorite. As embarrassing as it is I would love to be swept off my feet by the man I love. I don't care how it happens, I just really want a happily ever after. Is that crazy?"
"No." Shulk said while shaking his head. "I'm actually the same way."
Lucina's eyes lit up. "Really?" She breathed.
"Yay the lovebirds have something in common!" Dark Pit sneered. "Now come on!" He pushed Shulk forward. "Go confront her like you said you would!"
"Right!" Shulk yelled as he walked towards Peach. "Peach! We need to talk!"
Everyone in the room expect for Rosalina screamed when Shulk walked forward. Mario jumped in front of Peach as a fire ball lit in his hand.
"Touch my Princess and you'll burn for all eternity." He snarled.
"Relax Mario. I just want to-AAAHHHH!" he screamed as a strange orange creature rammed into him.
"Thank you Qbert!" Peach cried in delight. "I don't want this…barbarian anywhere near me!"
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." Shulk said. "Listen, I'm sorry I lost my cool. But please. Don't make my friends look bad because of the fight I started."
"No!" Peach cried. "Your friends are ruffians as well! Don't pretend they didn't attack me as well!"
"We DIDN'T attack you!" Dark Pit snarled. "I wasn't even there!"
"That's definitely a lie." Marth agreed as he got off of the game he was playing and walked off.
"Don't play dumb!" Jigglypuff screamed as she puffed up like a balloon.
"Jigglypuff." Peach cooed. "Go get me some water alright?"
"Sure thing!" Jigglypuff cried as she walked towards the waiter.
"Now." Peach narrowed her eyes. "Back to business. You all did attack me! Shulk punched me, Marth kicked me, and Dark Pit called me a slut!"
"I…didn't…say…that." Dark Pit hissed. "But it is a fact."
Everyone gasped in horror.
"See!" Peach cried while pointing. "Thugs! Also I have one last thing I'd like to talk about."
"What is it?" Marth snarled. The prince looked madder than when Dark Pit took the last taco (that was not a good day for anyone.)
"It's not for you, it's for Shulk!" Peach screamed. "Stay away from my roommate! She signed an agreement that said she'd do anything I'd say! Because of you she now thinks she doesn't belong to me, when she totally does!"
Shulk whipped around in shock. "Is that true?" He asked.
Lucina nodded. "She stuck it into the roommate agreement contract." She said as a single tear dripped down her check. "Now she owns me. She's been using it to control me for the past hour. I don't want to stop talking to you. No, I won't stop talking to you!"
"You have to!" Peach said happily as she walked over to Lucina. She stood on a chair and hugged her close as she patted her back. "Poor thing. I refuse to let you fall in love with someone other than a prince! This is the way things have to be! Besides" Peach said as she rolled out a piece of paper. "This contract gives me total control over you!"
"That's not true!" a voice screamed.
Shulk turned around to see a women with long sliver hair pulled into two pigtails. "She doesn't belong to you! That contract is illegal for two reasons, one being the fact I wasn't present and two being the fact that slavery is illegal!"
"Robin!" Peach sighed. "You old crow! It's not slavery! I'm just ordering your daughter around! How is that wrong?"
"You're ordering her to stay away from her friend!" Robin screamed. "How is that OK?"
"That friend is a commoner!" Peach cried. "Princesses can't marry commoners! And I've done this before! Remember when Link and Zelda where in love? I put an end to that real quick!"
"So that's why she rejected Link!" Marth snarled. "He was in tears for days! How could you?"
"I have my reasons." Peach mused.
"I won't let this happen!" Shulk screamed. "I will free her somehow!"
"Really?" Peach asked.
Lucina was in tears right next to her. Shulk wanted to hold her close, or promise her everything would be Ok, but if he tried Peach's 'friends' would stop him.
"I'd like to see you try!" Peach yelled before exploding into an evil laugh that never seemed to end.
