I would like to give a shout-out to Tigerwillow, Love2game and Bossrunner456 for commenting on the first chapter. So without further ado, I present Chapter 2. Hehehe, rhyme. First off, I do not own Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This chapter is more on the drama side, so don't expect too much humor. And, there's no Toon Link in this chapter. Sorry, Toon Link fangirls.

Chapter 2: Formal Dinners

There was much talk amongst the Smashers about the Fireworks episode, mostly on how Toon Link screwed up and got bomblings instead of the regular bombs. However, after a couple of days, said topic was completely forgotten. There was still minor talk about the ruined festival but otherwise, the subject merely became old news. Since the ruined festival, the Smashers enjoyed a few weeks of luxury and peace.

However, one day, something interesting happened. An alloy messenger came by the Smash Manor and requested that all Smashers that were of royal status and/or of high military status were requested to attend a formal dinner with the Master Hand.

Hence, the following Smashers were waiting at the front of Smash Manor: Pit, Peach, Zelda, Link, Marth, Ike, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bowser. A few minutes later, the Alloy Messenger returned for them.

"Thank you for waiting so patiently, lords and ladies," the Messenger said. Please follow me." He started heading towards a very extravagant-looking building. All the 9 Smashers could do was follow him. After all, this could be promising.

When they entered the building, all the Noble Smashers just stopped and stared.

This building was unlike anything they've seen before. It beat the dorm-like rooms of Smash Manor, that's for sure. Everywhere they looked, a chandelier was hanging over wherever there was a table. And there were a LOT of tables. The Alloy Messenger seemed to enjoy the 9 Smashers amazed expression, because it told them to follow it once more,which they did, until they came to a closed door.

"The Master Hand is inside," the Alloy Messenger said. "I do hope you find everything to your liking." With that, it opened the door, and all 9 Smashers walked in.

"Welcome, all Noble Smashers," a deep voice boomed. Obviously, this voice belonged to the Master Hand. "It is my sheer pleasure to welcome you all here and I do hope you enjoy your stay here. Would any of you like something to drink before the main course arrives? And please help yourselves to some bread."

Zelda and Marth, the only ones that were thirsty, asked for some Hakushu*. The rest of the Smashers helped themselves to some bread.

Pretty soon, the main course arrived. It was full of many different foods that nobody even knew existed. For instance, Link had just eaten what seemed to be a cross between crab meat and slug. While everyone else was unnerved by that, Link still ate hardily.

"Now that you are all here, I have a proposition for you all," Master Hand's deep voice boomed. This was enough for all 9 Smashers to stop eating and look up at him.

"I want all of you to join the upper ranks of Brawling," Master Hand boomed. "Just think about it. You will all be in a class of your own. Why, your status as an upper-rank will be acknowledged just by you simply entering the battlefield. All you have to do is leave Smash Manor and live here, it's as simple as that."

Zelda, who was eating a dish that was not as disturbing as Link's, asked "How long are we going to live here?"

"Well, permanently, of course. You can't be associating with those that are inferior to you. Otherwise, your status will be revoked," Master Hand boomed.

At that point, all 9 Smashers, even Bowser were shocked by this choice. If they joined the upper ranks, then they would be the most powerful smashers in Brawl. But that would mean leaving Smash Manor permanently, leaving all of the friends they had grown to love over time.

"Master Hand, with all due respect, I'm afraid we'll have to refuse your offer," Zelda said.

For a moment, Master Hand was silent.

"I see...," was all he could say. Suddenly he attacks Zelda, but Link managed to block the attack with his sword.

"How dare you," he boomed. "I invite all 9 of you to dinner and you have the audacity to refuse my offer to join the upper ranks. You maggots!" He attacks Zelda and Link again, but the attack is blocked yet again, this time by Marth. Fortunately, he performs a follow-up attack, knocking Master Hand unconscious.

"Well, Zelda-sama*," Marth asked. "Shall we go back to the Smash Manor?"

Suddenly, Link gets in between the two of them. "Yes, I think you should go now," he retorts rather rudely.

As the 9 Smashers return to Smash Manor, they kept thinking about how they refused Master Hand's offer to leave Smash Manor permanently. Although it was a offer that couldn't be refused, fighting alongside their fellow Smashers, on equal grounds, would be a whole lot better.

Upon entering the front door of Smash Manor, the Smashers heard something akin to a bowel movement, followed by a fart. Zelda looked back. "Link," she asked. "Was that you?"

Link, clutching his stomach, replied, "No..."

"Oh God, Link, what the heck did you eat?" Ike asked, covering his nose. Now, there was an unpleasant odor in the air.

"To be honest, I don't know. I ate some crab-meat, slug thing. It was pretty good, but now it doesn't agree with my stomach," Link said. Suddenly, Link's face turned green and he covers his mouth. "Gonna puke."

"GAAAH! LINK, HOLD ON! WE'RE ALMOST TO THE BATHROOM!" Pit was now carrying Link to the bathroom while Link did his absolute best to try and not puke.

XD Oh, poor Link. Then again, it serves him right to eat something gross. Anyways, I'm sorry this took so long to post. I haven't had too much free time on my hands.

*Zelda-sama= Lady Zelda

*Hakushu= Japanese Premium Whiskey
