This story has been moving along slowly, but considering the completion of Know Your Smashers, it should be updated at least a little more frequently. Here you go. And I don't own an Anklyosaurus named Peppy, Yoshizilla does.


Chapter 3: Of Children and Carnivals

Ness and Yoshi playfully ran along the grassy lawn, tagging each other with their own abilities and the occasion tropical fruit. It kept them busy for quite awhile, until, of course, they grew bored. What a surprise!

"So…now what…do you…want to do?" Ness asked in between pants. He sat on a patch of soft grass and rubbed the sweat from his forehead.

"Yoshi!" the dinosaur replied cheerily.

"Huh?"

"Yoshi!"

"What does that mean?"

"Yoshi!"

Ness pulled out his baseball bat out of frustration and was about to hit him mercilessly. His eyes glowed in the sunlight with rage.

"Sorry, I was on 'Yoshi!' mode," he explained.

"You have different modes for speaking?" Ness questioned with a puzzled face. It made him wonder how he even triggered the different modes. He then decided he was better off not knowing.

"Anyway, I hear there's this carnival a few blocks away," Yoshi continued, fetching a soda can from the little red cooler that was parked by the window of the bathroom on the first floor. "We could go there and pull pranks on clueless kids."

"That's brilliant!" Ness exclaimed with enthusiasm as he jumped. "Will we need anything?"

"Well, you could bring a few cans of soda, and maybe some of Link's 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner from the salon."

"That elf-man…" the boy muttered before dashing up the stairs to the Hylian's bedroom.

Yoshi, in the meantime, pondered how such a hair product would affect the psychic boy's hair. It was probably a mess, considering the fact he always wore a hat, even to bed. Not that he knew, or anything.

By the time that thought was finished, Ness was back with an armful of shampoo and conditioner bottles and a variety of soda cans.

"I didn't know which one to grab, so I took all I could carry," clarified Ness, his round face framed by the fancy bottles.

"Whatever, get a trash bag and we'll go."

Ness pouted under his breath, feeling like Yoshi's slave. Of course, Yoshi didn't care.

He did as he was told and tied the ends of the trash bag into a knot and flung it over his shoulder. Smiling, he hopped on Yoshi's back.

"Giddy up, horsey!"

"What in the world are you doing?" Yoshi snapped.

"Well, I had to get the supplies while you sat here and got to be lazy, so you're taking me on your back!"

Yoshi mumbled to himself, but decided to do it anyway so Ness would stop kicking. He jogged and fast as he could, doing his best to keep Ness on his back, especially at turns. Eventually, both of them could see the carnival and some people on the Ferris wheel. This activated ideas in both of them.

Yoshi whipped out a phone from some place, probably his shoe, and used his extensive tongue to push a button, causing speed dial. He impatiently hummed while waiting for his friend to pick up.

"Who are you calling?" Ness asked out of nosiness.

"Shush!" Yoshi then began chatting on the phone with a good friend of his, whose name seemed to be Peppy the Anklyosaurus. After awhile, he hung up and stored the phone in a shoe.

"Okay, NOW will you tell me?" the boy whined as he fiddled with his stringy raven hair.

"No."

"Darn it!"

"Finally, we're here," Yoshi announced as Ness got off of the dinosaur's back.

"It's about time," Yoshi said with a mischievous smile. He and Ness got into a huddle and discussed what to do and how to do it.

"Excellent," Ness said in a sinister voice, much like Monty Burns'.

So the duo sneaked behind the merry-go-round first. Yoshi posed as one of the ponies, and Ness rode his back with fake yet believable excitement. Yoshi began singing in a soft voice until the ride stopped.

"WOW!" Ness screamed as he jumped off the ride. "That green dinosaur is the bestest one to ride! It sings!"

Several children believed Ness and pushed and shoved each other just to get on it. A redheaded girl turned out victorious due to her freakishly tall figure. She clapped with joy as the bored ride operator pressed some buttons, thus beginning the merry-go-round.

Yoshi began singing, so in return the girl clapped. After only seconds, Yoshi turned around and bit the girl's hand. Along with her height came a very high voice, which she proved she had by letting out a piercing yell.

Yoshi immediately evacuated the merry-go-round. His head darted from side to side, back in forth; just to make sure they weren't in trouble.

"Well, onto the next task," Ness said with a shrug. This time they tiptoed over by the cotton candy stand. And got close to the window, but not quite in view of the person running it.

"It's time for your break!" Ness called out arbitrarily in a deep voice.

"Like, okay!" she squealed before skipping out of the back door in her high heels. Apparently she was inexperienced with high heels, and ended up tripping.

"Like, oh my gosh!" the girl wailed. "I like, broke a nail! And that manicure, like, cost me a fortune!"

Ness and Yoshi rolled their eyes and slid into the booth. After fishing through a pile of year-old cotton candy bags, Yoshi found a bag of light yellow cotton candy.

"Perfect timing, here comes a midget," Ness whispered.

The little boy stepped on a wooden stool beneath the window that was there for short people like him.

"Can I have a bag of cotton candy?" The little boy asked, his aqua eyes shining with desire.

Although this was cute in a way, Ness followed their plan. "Yes, we made a fresh, big bag, and it's all yours."

"Really?"

"Yes, and it's made of pure dog urine."

The boy's facial expression went from exhilaration to confusion. "Huh? What's that?"

Ness and Yoshi giggled at the boy's lack of knowledge.

A person overheard and walked up to the boy. She whispered in his ear, causing his once-confused expression to change into horror.

"EWW!" He shouted at them, yanked back his money from the counter. "I'm telling on you people!"

"Time to run!" snapped Yoshi from behind Ness. They both scurried out, of course, after snatching some samples and stuffing them down Ness' pants.

At this time, Yoshi's good friend Peppy the Anklyosaurus found the two. The yellow creature had a rather sturdy figure with four legs and the snout of a reptile.

"Hi guys!" he shouted as he slowly approached them. He paused and eyed Ness' pants. "Did you not make it to the bathroom or something?"

"No, cotton candy. Anyway, do you have the Silly String?" Yoshi queried.

"So why did you make me bring all this stuff again?" Ness complained, becoming weary from carrying the bag.

"'Cause I thought it would be funny."

"You're mean!"

"Quiet you two, let's complete our mission!" Peppy fished around in a bag and pulled out three bottles, one blue, one yellow, and one hot pink.

"I'll take blue, Peppy has yellow, and Mr. Whiny here will take hot pink," Yoshi said, taking command.

"Aww, but Yoshi-"

Peppy covered Ness' mouth with his snout. Yoshi sighed in relief and thanked him.

That's when the now-trio ate the cotton candy while running about crazily, spraying anyone and everyone with Silly String. There were screams, insults, and for some reason, complaints and stale popcorn and politics.

"We're number one!" yelled Yoshi.

"You all stink!" Ness added.

"Like cat litter and linguini sauce on Tuesday morning!" Peppy finished, earning him stares from the others.

"Well, it does smell bad…"

Eventually, enough people complained, and two guys with important-looking uniforms stomped up to Yoshi, Ness, and Peppy, stopping their parade.

"I'm sorry, but we must ask you two to leave," one guard said.

"NEVER!" Yoshi shrieked as he and Peppy and Ness attempted to escape.

That must have been the sorriest escape attempt in history, as two police cars were already there. The three were locked up and shoved into the back.

So much for fun at the carnival.


Entry 3: Ness and Yoshi

Ness

Well, Yoshi's too bossy, so I know not to follow him again. And he made me carry Link's hair products and soda cans for no reason! Now my arms hurt! Hmm, maybe I should test out these hair products. I have bad hair, that's why I wear a hat.

Yoshi

Ness is a whiny baby. Perhaps boredom got the best of me, but it happens to everyone, right? I hope nothing serious would happen at the police station. I mean really, I didn't do anything THAT bad. I didn't kill anyone, just having good-natured fun…Right?


There you go! Next chapter will come sooner, so look out for that. Also, it's been a year since I made my FanFiction account. w00t.
