The group caught the Smash Bus home and lugged all their groceries up the stairs and into Ike's room.
They opened the door to find the kitchen missing and replaced with two small rectangular tables with small stoves behind them.
"Welcome, competitors! As you can see, I've setup this room so that you may be able to cook more efficiently,"
Ike said. "Plus it looks like a real cooking competition place!"
"Yeah yeah, that's cool and all but can we start? I wanna see the look on Pit's face when he finds out my dish is better than his!" Said Dark Pit.
"Well then let's get going!" Link said as he walked over and dumped their ingredients on the table.
"Alright! Groups to their tables! You'll have thirty minutes to make dinner with your ingredients. Ready...set...COOK!" Ike started the timer.
Dark Pit and Link both had a light bulb moment, "Let's make a sandwich!" They said together.
Ike interrupted them, "You can only use the ingredients you have now and water. No more, no less!"
"Dammit," Dark Pit said.
Pit and Roy heard their idea, "Thanks for the idea, guys!" They said together.
"I know! We can make scrambled eggs, with a side of spam and we can cut up the bananas and blend them with the toothpaste, melt the marshmallows and blend them in with milk, squeeze the lemons in, put some sugar in, put that in the freezer for a few minutes, and we have a smoothie!" Link said.
"That is literally the best idea I have ever had of!" Responded Dark Pit. "High five!"

Pit and Roy started on their sandwich. Roy cooked the sausages perfectly and set them on the bread. Pit put the fish sticks in the oven and waited for them to bake. Roy made iced tea with the mix and mixed in crushed Oreos.
"Drink is done!" Roy called
This was how they worked: The less talking, the more they got done.
"Fish sticks're done!" Pit called.
"Ten minutes!" Ike called.

"Crap crap crap!" Link grasped his blonde hair in dismay. "We're not going to finish!"
"Don't say that! We'll be fine!" Dark Pit reassured his friend. "The eggs and spam are done and I chopped up the almonds and sprinkled them in top of the eggs. All we need is the smoothie!"
"Okay okay. I'll cut up the bananas and add them in. You melt the marshmallows." Link said. He sliced up the bananas and put them in the blender. He measured out 1 cup of milk and pour that in as well. He cut a lemon in half and squeezed all of the juice out of it. He took a handful of sugar and sprinkled that in. He opened the tube of toothpaste and squeezed some in. He wiped his hands on a napkin. "Done!" He declared.
"The marshmallows are melted!" Dark Pit called as he ran over to the blender. He poured the marshmallows in to the blender and hit blend.
"Five minutes!" Ike called.
"Great! Five minutes in the freezer, then." Link poured the mixture into a cup and put it in the freezer. The partners let out a sigh of relief.
Five minutes later...
"Link's team, please serve your dish." Ike said.
Link carried the plate and smoothie over to Ike, "Here we have scrambled eggs with chopped almonds and spam on the side." He explained.
"Where's the rest of your ingredients?" Ike asked while taking a sip of the smoothie.
Link pointed to the smoothie at Ike's lips, "In there."
Ike spit out the drink as soon as it hit his tongue. "Well that explains it," he said. "The eggs, almonds, and spam are delicious, but the smoothie, not so good. NEXT!"
Pit came up with his dish and explained it to Ike, "It's a sandwich filled with sausages, salami, gummy worms, fish sticks, ham, and topped with frosting. We also have iced tea with crushed Oreos mixed into it. AND THIS IS ALL SPRINKLED WITH LOVE!" Ike bit into the sandwich and declared Pit and Roy the winners.
"THE POWER OF LUV CONQUERS ALL!" Pit and Roy cheered.
Ike walked over to Dark Pit and Link and tugged them to Lady Palutena's room, "Time to give you a memory wipe!"
"I can't believe we lost," Dark Pit sulked.
Link looked on the bright side, "Oh well. It'll be fun to find out how we'll get pranked!"
The last thing the two could remember after the memory wipe was Pit and Roy cheering.
