Lucario was waiting in the first floor of the Library, he was reading a book. The book seemed to be labeled "Super Paper Mario", and as such, a small version of Mario was on the cover along with Peach, Bowser and Luigi.

The jackal's ears perked upward, he turned his head to see the Kongs.

"You wanted to see us?" Diddy asked, innocently. Lucario nodded, lightly, "And I see you've brought Donkey Kong, as well."

The Kongs stared in shock, how could Lucario know what happened?

"Why are you two behaving strangely?" Lucario asked, he began to look smug, "Can't you remember? I can read auras."

"I-I kinda forgot about that," Diddy said, scratching his head, "I guess there's no hiding it from you, is there?"

Lucario shook his head, chuckling a little, "But listen, I will help Master Hand as much as I can. My only advice I can offer is that your weaknesses are now your strength and vice versa."

"What? You mean Diddy's over his fear of thunder?" Donkey teased. The big ape blushed slightly, looking away from his uncle, "DK..."

"Th-that's not what I mean," Lucario said as he began to leave the library, "You'll find out, soon enough."

Donkey just stared at the Pokémon with an unamused look. "Pokémon confuse me."

"Well, he did offer to help."

Donkey nodded in reply, "True...but we still have to lay low, for a bit."

"Yeah, yeah," Diddy grumbled as he crossed his arms.


Later, that day, the Smashers began to do whatever they wanted to do. In the kitchen, Peach and Luigi were making a cake. On one counter, Peach was mixing the cake. On another counter, Luigi was mixing frosting. Next to him sat a bowl of cherries.

Diddy walked into the room, he began to search through the fridge for a snack.

"Hi, DK," Peach said, waving. Diddy bumped his head against the fridge, the big ape rubbed his head in pain. "Owowow."

"Oh, are you OK?" Peach asked with concern.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine," Diddy said. He noticed the cherries, next to Luigi. "So...what are you guys making?"

"It's Cherry Chocolate Cake," Luigi said, "And we're starting now so there's enough for everyone."

"That's awesome," Diddy said, almost drooling. If it was one thing Diddy liked, aside from Bananas, it was cherries and cakes. "Er...is it OK if I grab a handful of cherries?"

Peach and Luigi looked at each other in confusion before looking back at the ape. Peach smiled nervously, "Usually, Diddy's the one who asks for cherries."

"W-well, I wanted to get some for Diddy," the ape said, scratching the back of his head, "He sort of had other stuff to do, and he asked me to get some cherries for him."

"Well..." Peach became lost in thought, "I guess it's OK."

"Thank you," Diddy said as he picked up a plastic bag from one of the kitchen drawers. Afterwards, he picked up a handful of cherries and placed most of them in the bag while others simply fell to the ground. Usually, a handful to Diddy wasn't too much...but the big ape grabbed almost half the bowl of cherries. before taking off from the kitchen.

"Luigi? How many cherries are left?" Peach asked, Luigi looked at the bowl, "Not enough."

Peach sighed, "Well, we're gonna have to buy some more..."


Donkey was walking down the Hall, looking for the gym. He needed to get his mind off the "Body Switch" thing.

When he came up to the gym, he heard Samus and Little Mac were fighting. Samus, was in her power suit, though she was missing her helmet.

The little monkey came into the gym, Samus had Mac in a headlock, the little boxer looked down at the monkey. "Hey, Diddy."

"Hey, Mac," Donkey greeted, "Mind if I join you guys?"

"Why?" Samus asked as she released Mac, "I mean, not that I'm against fighting you, but where's Donkey?"

"He's probably in our room," Donkey said with a simple shrug, "So can I join you guys or what?"

Samus shrugged, "All right," her voice turned serious, "But remember, just like in the real matches, I won't hold anything back!"

"Awesome," Donkey said as he climbed into the ring, pulling out two boxing gloves from out of nowhere. However, the gloves were a little big for his liking...then again, he expected something like this.

"All right," Samus pulled out her helmet and placed it over her head. "Ready? GO!"

Afterwards, the trio began to fight. Little Mac attacked Samus with his punches while Samus rolled out-of-the-way. Donkey attacked her by shooting her with one of his popguns. Little Mac punched Donkey in the gut while Samus curled up and placed a bomb behind the duo. It blew up, sending Mac and Donkey flying.

Donkey got up from his spot, looking at the bounty hunter, "You're getting pretty good...maybe even better since those times in Brawl," he commented.

"I'll say," Mac said, "Then again, all I was back then was an assist trophy, so it wasn't like I could officially fight you guys or anything."

"Well, if I'm going to win any matches, I'm gonna have to do some training." Samus said, proudly, "Especially now that my suit won't fall apart when I do the Zero Lazar."

"One question, though," Mac said, "Are you still gonna be Zero Suit Samus?"

"What kind of dumb question is that?" Samus asked, unamused, "Of course I will." She looked down at Diddy, "I'll be heading back to my room. Please let Donkey know I wanna fight him in Jungle Japes, tomorrow."

Donkey nodded, "Got it."

Afterwards, Mac looked down at Diddy, "Wanna rematch?"

"Sure, I-"

The speakers suddenly turned on, the Smashers looked up in confusion.

"NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP, NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN! NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESSERT YOU!"

"Crazy, get off the microphone!"

"NEVER GONNA MAKE YOU CRY, NEVER GONNA SAY GOOD BYE! NEVER GONNA TELL A LIE, AND HURT YOU!"

Mac lowered his eyelids, halfway, "Gees, I feel sorry for Master Hand. I don't even know how he puts up with Crazy."

"Believe me, none of the other Smashers know how to put up with him, either," Donkey said, with annoyance in his voice.


I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself XD

Welp, that's about it, for now...I'll have to see what else I can come up with.
