The gentle sun rose and cast a golden glow across the valley. The female, grasping a book in one hand, swept toward the building. She smiled as the sunlight hit her face and twirled around in her adjustable outfit. She was garbed in a dandelion-yellow dress that ended at her knees with long yellow socks and tennis shoes. Her sleeves were puffy and her dress had a white design on the bottom and a white ribbon that tied around her waist. On her chest there was a white flower with a deep blue center that matched her brilliant blue eyes. She wore earrings that matched her flowery brooch. Her entire outfit complemented her deep brown hair. Eyeing it, her past memories flooded into her. She twirled around once more and looked up at the building to her front.
WELCOME TO THE SUPER SMASH BROS. STADIUM
She smiled as a couple of brown birds flew down from the sky, circled her, then flew off. Ever so softly, she sang a few lines of a beautiful song, then looked up again.
'This place looks very different from home...home, such a quiet place. Everything done there is by rote.' She sighed. Well, today should certainly be different!' she smiled slightly, then looked down at her blue book.
'I can't believe she dragged me down here. It looks exciting, to be sure, but I still think I'd rather read a book.' She looked up again. 'I wonder if anyone is even up at this hour.'
She opened the doors and walked in.
"HIYA!" Sounds exploded inter her body, the loudest coming from a blue-haired swordsman as he fought against a blue-haired axe-man. "Take that! And that!" Her eyes widened in slight shock. All around her in the building there was action. This definitely was different.
She had entered a cafeteria with a large variety of breakfast foods. She could smell the strange twists and smells of different cultures and styles, but that wasn't what added flavor to the building. You see, everywhere she looked there were people training and fighting against each other.
"Charzard! Go!"
"Squirtle!"
"Falcon punch!"
"Hiyiyiyiya!"
"Yoshi!"
She examined the different bends and ways of fighting as she searched for her friend. It was so fascinating! There were swordsmen, magicians, trainers, and creatures of many sizes and shapes imaginable!
She almost, but not quite, became accustomed to the matches and brawls that would appear out of nowhere. It was all fantastically different, but not was she was looking for. Besides, fighting all day wasn't exactly her type of thing. She sighed. 'I'm just a little too picky, I suppose. I wonder if I'll ever find somewhere where I feel I belong.'
"Good morning Daisy!" a voice yelled. She turned around to see her friend, Luigi, running into the cafe.
"Good morning Luigi." She greeted with a smile. Luigi was one of her best friends. They were like siblings with each other. They had even tried dating in the past, but they settled on a friendship instead.
"What are you up to?" he asked in his thick Italian accent.
"Well, one of my attendants went to town and gave me this fabulous new book. I just finished it. It was about knight and a dragon," she bashed out with pretend claws, "and-"
"Umm, that's a-nice," he interrupted. "Mario! Where are you?" he shouted in a friendly voice.
Daisy smiled and shrugged it off as she began to walk away. Luigi, his choice career being plumbing, was never one for books. In fact, he was never really one for stories or adventure, either. He liked things to remain the way they were. She cocked her head. In fact, that might have been the reason they broke up. She was always looking for adventure, while he was always...
Sleeping. She smiled once again. What was he doing here in the first place? Most likely explanation was that Mario had dragged him into it. She wondered off in her dreamy-looking state, as always.
Ike, the axe-man, nudged his friend Marth. They stopped fighting and stared at the brown-haired girl. "Hey, isn't that that new girl, Daisy?" he asked Marth.
"Yes, she was supposed to be starting today," Marth replied, "She looks just like that other girl, the one with the pink dress." He examined her closer, "She's quite pretty, I admit. It's a different style than the other one, but it's the same, too."
"She resembles her in her actions. Why, just look at her face. It's all dreamy, as if she was strolling in a field of flowers rather than a fighting stadium."
"Yes, she seems very distracted. I wonder why," Marth said.
"I wonder if she'll fit in," Ike said in a slightly worrisome voice, "In fact, I wonder if she even cares."
Daisy pretended not to hear the voices and walked away.
It was hard for her to get over the constant movements that surrounded her, all of it very different from her kingdom. This was the type of place where you could have a friendly conversation while battling fiercely with another opponent. To her left a little man called Olimar and two identical looking Eskimos were smiling and fighting. To Daisy's right a pokemon trainer and Lucario were arguing.
"Come on! Battle!" he demanded of Lucario.
"Hmph, you'll never catch me," Lucario said in an irritated manner. "No one here can capture me. Only one person ever has."
Daisy shook her head. She looked around again and, though she knew it was slightly ridiculous with all that was going around her, she thought, 'There must be something in this life for me, something more, something adventurous. I don't want to be the side spectator. I want to be in the midst of my own story.'
"Daisy!" a selfish-sounding voice exclaimed. Daisy looked over to see...oh geese...Wario, a fat and greedy man who she believed had a crush on her.
"Uh, good morning Wario," Daisy said, slightly put off.
"What's-a someone like you doing?"
"Well, I just finished reading this book. I couldn't put it down."
"Uh, Wario hates reading," he said, "Answer my question. What are you doing here?"
"Hmm, well, I was going to meet the princess here. I think I'd rather read my book though."
"Whaaaa?" Wario asked, confused, "Why would you want to read a stupid book?"
"Well, I know I've read it twice already, but it's my favorite. Far off places," she spread her left arm out, "daring battles," she thrust her arm forward, as if she was holding a weapon, "magic spells," she waved her hand around a bit, "prince in disguise-"
"Ugh, if you like it so much, keep it to yourself."
"But you just asked me-"
"Wario insists," he said, then drove off in his motorcycle regardless of the fact that he was indoors, leaving black tire marks all over the cafeteria floor.
Daisy wondered off again. She saw two boys practicing how to play with yo-yos. As she opened her book and started to read she heard the tan fox and the blue bird fellow whispering about her.
"Falco, look, there's that girl," the fox pointed out.
"What's she doing dressed in that outfit in a place like this?" Falco asked as he watched her pat Lucas on the head without slowing down or looking up from her book. "She looks like she's going to Sunday school. Is she all right?"
"Look, she's reading a book. A book, at the Smash Bros. Stadium. She doesn't even seem to notice what's going on around her. Oh no, she's going to get hurt!" Fox exclaimed.
Daisy, still reading, continued to walk forward. She used her perpendicular vision to guide her as she traveled. Link was battling his friend, Zelda, up ahead. Zelda shot out a fire blast in Link's direction. Link jumped out of the way causing the blast to flow past him and go towards Daisy. She calmly changed directions and continued walking, avoiding the searing blast of heat with the greatest of ease. Had she looked behind her she would have seen the bird and the fox run in her direction and reach to push her out of the way. The bird, being the faster of the two, got their first. He thrust his arms forward and launched all of his weight into the push while preparing his legs to run after Daisy would be at a safe distance. However, her change in direction was unexpected, and Falco instead lost his balance and fell onto his face. The fox, who wasn't far behind, didn't register what happened in time, and as a result he ran straight into the red orb of magic and received full blast of its fiery explosion. Though his over all damage wasn't bad, a patch of fur was burned straight off of the side of his face and didn't grow back for a few weeks. Falco never skipped at the chance of teasing him for it, even well after it had grown in again, and Fox would zing him back with his experience of falling on his face. Both would either laugh or, more likely, glare at each other and drop the subject. But before any of that happened, a wolf cast a snide remark their way.
"Nice going, guys," Wolf said. Falco and Fox's eyes shot bullets at him.
Meanwhile, Daisy saw a fountain shooting out water with four stone representations of metal alloys fighting in the middle. A small pink puffball of a girl was playing in the water. Daisy sat down next to the fountain and chatted with the girl.
"Oh, isn't this so cool?" she asked. The puffball stopped what she was doing and stared at Daisy with her mouth in a perfect 'o' shape.
"Jiggly?" the puffball asked.
"It's my absolute favorite part," Daisy said, pointing to a page in the book. Jigglypuff walked over to Daisy and looked down into the book.
"Right here, see? This is where she and Prince Charming meet up with each other."
"Uuuuuh, Jigglypuff?" she asked, looking up at Daisy.
Daisy smiled, then wagged her finger, "She hasn't figured it out yet. In fact, she won't know that it's him tillllllllll...," Daisy closed her eyes in thought, "somewhere around chapter three."
Jigglypuff blinked, then went back into the fountain and continued to play. Daisy rose from the fountain and, once again, continued to search for her friend while reading her book.
An angel named Pit flew over to Zelda, who had finished her battle with Link. She had emerged victorious. Zelda examined Daisy, taking in every twist and turn of her pretty hair and gorgeous smile. "Wow, just look at her. No wonder she's named after a flower," Zelda said to Pit, "I've never seen another face quite like hers." Pit smiled at her.
"Yes, she is very pretty, but she does not seem quite...there, if you understand," Pit said, not in an unkind manner. "She seems very different from anyone I have ever met."
"I agree," Link said, "she's definitely different than anyone here. I wonder how she expects to fight; she's wearing a fragile looking dress and doesn't appear to have any weapons of some kind. Maybe she's a magician."
Zelda shook her head, "No, she's from that galaxy the other princess girl is from, the pink one. There's no magic there, I mean, not any usual sort."
"Strange," Pit pondered.
Zelda looked from Pit to Link. "Did you say she was different from the rest of us?" Link nodded. Zelda raised an eyebrow, "Why, just look around. We're all a bunch of, for lack of a better word, freaks aren't we?"
Pit looked around slightly, then returned his gaze back to her. "But we're all bound together with a love for battle and fighting. We are here for a reason. She seems... out of place."
BAM! BAM! Two explosions resounded in the air as a very egotistical man announced his presence. Bowser Jr. gasped in delight and ran from his father, Bowser, to the man who had just shot two purple explosions of magic into the air. "Oh boy! He's here!" Bowser Jr. yelled while running towards the source of the magic.
"Wow you never miss a chance to announce yourself, huh Ganondorf?" Bowser Jr. exclaimed in an excited voice. "You're the greatest sorcerer in the whole world!"
Ganon closed his eyes and, in a cocky manner, but without smiling, said, "I know."
"Ya! No beast alive stands a chance against you!" he laughed with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"That's true BJ," the overly muscular Ganon said. He shot out his index and middle finger and made an upward motion in the air. Purple streaks of light, or rather, darkness, sent BJ flying into the air next to Ganon's face. He hovered there, flipping around without any control.
Ganon, not amused, shoved his face near BJ and said, "In fact, there is someone that will be irresistibly unable to resist my..." he smirked slightly, "physique." He jerked his head in the direction of a wondering girl.
"WWWwwwOOOoooAAAaaaHHHhhh," Baby Jr. yelled as he continued to flip around in the same spot. As he began to slow down, he looked in the place that Ganon had indicated. Confused, he said, "What? The princess's best friend? What about her?" BJ asked, confused.
"She's got a certain...charm about her."
"Eww, but she's, like-"
"The one most suited for a place by my side," he said.
"I know but-"
"That makes her the best!" Ganon, irritated at BJ, said. He shot a few tiny sparks of energy at BJ, zapping him.
"Owww," BJ complained.
"She must be a fighter, of course," Ganon said, ignoring him, "A fighter, a beauty, and a woman at that. She's fit to rule and conquer by my side. She's the best." Grabbing him in a headlock, Ganon growled, "and I don't I deserve the best?" he asked with exaggerated diction.
"Well of course I mean of course you do but-" BJ tried to explain.
Ganon threw BJ on the ground. "You don't understand, I've had my eyes on her since she first walked into this stadium," Ganon began, talking more to himself than to Bowser Jr., "She's perfect." He looked at BJ, "In this stadium she's the only one who's looks even come remotely close to mine. She'll have to be trained, perhaps, depending on her level of combat. I'll have her in my hands though, just you wait." He began to follow her.
On the opposite side of the cafeteria a few doors opened and three girls from the country of Agustria entered, all of them smiling and laughing. They scanned the cafeteria. One of them excitedly pointed in Ganon's direction. "Omg, OMG! Look! There he is! That sorcerer!" All three of them looked and screamed.
"Ohhhhh, like, I remember when I first laid my eyes on him," one of them said.
"Yaaaa, me too," said another, dreamily.
"That day was like, amazing," said the third. "Remember? We had, like, come to see the, like, amazing Ike in battle?" she laughed a deep and stupid laugh, "omg, like, like and Ike rhyme!" They all laughed and stared at each other in amazement and wonder. "But seriously, don't you guys, you know, like, remember?"
"Of course! We'd like, never seen him battle before. We thought he was so superb and like handsome. Those were like, younger times."
"But we're only around our like late teens," one piped in.
"So? We like, were like reckless back then, about like... like... like... like three weeks ago?"
"And we were like all excited to see Ike and Marth battle, like, with each other, and then he came."
"And took our breath away."
"What was it that like we noticed about him again?"
"Duh, he did magic," one pointed out, "We didn't think anyone from any other galaxy knew magic."
"But he like, did. And his is like so strange! It's all purpley and...stuff!"
"And he like was sooooo good looking. Man he's hot!"
"Gorgeous dark skin."
"And like, his muscles."
"And hair."
They all squealed again and ran off in Ganon's direction.
Ganon, ignorant of the fawning girls, smirked to himself as he hatched his evil plans in his mind. He started to walk faster, but not at a tiresome pace. Suddenly Daisy turned right into a fearsome fight between Ike and Marth.
"Whoa! Aiiieeeh!" They yelled as they narrowly avoided her. She skillfully dodged their thrusts and attacks and made her way to the other end without looking up once.
Ike and Marth stopped and stared at her. "Has she been walking in a circle?" They shrugged. Marth took the opportunity to strike, but before he hit Ike's armor Ganon appeared directly in front of the blade.
"Hey watch it!" Marth yelled as his sword flew in Ganon's direction. Marth tried to move the blade out of the way by sort of screwing up the positions of his arms, but before he could do anything Ganon looked saw the sword coming at him and lit up an explosion of magic. There was a loud boom similar to when Ganon first entered the room, and all three of them went flying in an opposite direction. Daisy turned her head in confusion, shook it, then continued on. Ike glared at her.
"Aauuuurrgh?" D.K. exclaimed as he and many others ran to see the cause of the ruckus. Rumors immediately began to spread. Many people shot looks in a chestnut-coloured haired girl's direction as she walked alone with her nose in a book.
"Ughh, you idiots!" Ganon yelled, getting up from the floor.
"Hey, calm down, it was just an accident," Marth said.
"Accident? Do you realize what you could have done?!"
"It's all right, no one got hurt," Ike said in an attempt to calm the man. He looked down at his bruised body. "Much," he added.
"AAAARRRGH!" Ganon yelled. He threw both of his hands down and an aura of black violet appeared around them.
"EEEEeeeeeeeeek!" the three girls yelled, fanning themselves. Ganon flexing his body and showing off his moves was too much for them to handle.
"I'm going to kill-" Ganon began, but stopped short. He looked around in confusion for the girl. "Where'd she go?"
In all of the commotion and fury, Ganon had last sight of Daisy. He looked around for her, but to no avail;
Daisy had disappeared.
End of Chapter One
