Chapter 2: First Arrivals
Smash Mansion, World of Trophies, Thursday, January 21, 1999
A portal opened up, and Mario stepped out.
He looked at the seal on the envelope, then the seal above the door to the building. They were a perfect match.
(This must be the place.) Mario thought as he walked towards the front door. (I thought it would be...bigger.)
It was a simple two story building. Next to the building was a garage to store vehicles. For a place that would host people for a tournament, it wasn't exactly what a person would expect.
(All right here goes.) The red plumber then rang the doorbell.
"Who is it?" Master Hand's voice said from the other side of the door.
(This is definetly the right place.) "It's a me, Mario."
The door opened up immediately, and Mario was greeted by Master Hand. "Hey there!"
"Hi."
"I see you're the first person the join the tournament."
"Apparently. My bro's not a sure if he wants to enter or no-"
"Save the small talk for when everyone else gets here." Master Hand opened the door up even wider. "What are you waiting for? Go explore a little!"
Mario walked inside. The first floor was simple and had open concept rooms, which included a kitchen/dining room, a living room with an SD television, and a few storage closets. There was also a medium sized basement, but it was unfinished. The second floor contained twelve rooms, one for each person that was invited.
"Which room is mine?" Mario asked Master Hand.
"The door that has the number 1 on it," Master Hand replied.
With ease, Mario found his room. There wasn't much to look at. The walls were a plain white color. The only contents of the room was a bed, a few shelfs, and the door to a closet.
"I know it might not look like the best room in the world," Master Hand said, "but I can assure you that your bed is comfy!"
"Thanks," Mario said.
"If you need me, I'll be in my office in the basement!"
"Why-a the basement?"
"Because it's unfinished and I doubt anyone will go down there, duh." He then teleported away. Mario simply laied down on his bed and stared at the ceiling as a way to kill time.
Friday, January 22, 1999
Mario never expected to wake up to someone screaming in pain.
"OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!" the first voice said. "WHAT IN THE NAME OF DIN IS THIS THING!?
The plumber put a pillow over his head in an attempt to block out the noise.
"Ha ha!" a second voice said. "You burned your hand on an oven!"
"SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING YOU IDIOT!"
"Absolutly!"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm doing somthing, just like you asked!"
"I meant help me, not eat a stupid banana!" A smack could be heard fo downstairs. "What was that for!?"
"Nobody calls my bananas stupid!"
"Don't make me slash you, you stupid tie wearing monkey!"
Mario immediately stood upright in bed. (Tie wearing monkey?!) He immediately jumped out of bed and ran downstairs.
When he got to the kitchen, he saw two people in a fistfight. Mario immediately recognized one of them.
"DK?" Mario asked.
"Not now Mario!" DK yelled as he countinued what he was doing. "I'm trying the beat up this elf boy!"
"I AM NOT AN ELF!" the other person said as he retailiated with several punches. Mario simply let out a sigh.
"Wait a minute, Mario?" DK asked. He stopped beating up the person and gave the plumber a bear hug. "It's great to see you again!"
"Can't...breath..." Mario weakly said.
"Oh, sorry!" The ape let go of Mario, and the plumber then took a moment to catch his breath. "How've you been?"
"I've been a doing great," Mario replied. "I even got an invite for a tournament being hosted here."
"What a coincidence! Me too!" DK held up his invite as if it was his most prized banana.
"Me...three..." the other person said. After getting a closer look at the person, Mario saw that his ears did resemble an elf. The person also wore a green tunic and had a sword and shield with him. He the held his hand out to Mario. "Hi...I'm Link..."
"Nice to a meet you Link!" Mario said as he helped Link to his feet. "I take it your the person that screamed in pain?"
"He sounded like a girl!" DK taunted.
Link gave him a glare. "It wasn't my fault! Ganondorf must have cursed that thing from his grave to burn me when I put my hand on it!"
"That's what happens when you put your hand on an oven," Mario said.
"...What's an oven?"
"...Something used to cook food.
"Like one of those black stoves?"
"Nobody uses those anymore."
"Nobody uses stoves here!?"
"No, people still use stoves."
"But I don't see one anywhere!"
"It's right below the oven." Mario pointed to the stove.
"THAT'S a stove?"
"Yeah."
"It doesn't even use fire to hear itself!"
"I think it uses electricity to do that or something."
"..." Link just stared at the stove.
"Are you okay?"
"I...I think I need to lay down right now."
"What for?"
"So I can determine wheatear or not I fell into a coma in my sleep and ended up on the future...again." Link then went upstairs to his room.
"What do you think he a meant by that?" Mario asked. DK simply shrugged his shoulders.
Saturday, January 23, 1999
"So just to be clear," Master Hand said to Link, "this isn't the future. You didn't travel through time, and you definetly didn't fall into a coma. The year is still 1999."
"Oh thank Nayru!" Link said as he wipes his forehead.
"Anyway, why don't you get used our appliances. You're going to living here for some time, so you might as well."
"Thanks again!" Link said as he headed off to the kitchen to see what other things were there.
(They're not cursed by Ganondorf.) Link thought. (They're not cursed by Ganondorf.)
*Ding!*
"YAH!" Link pulled out the Master Sword and was about to use it when...
"What are you doing?"
Link turned his head to see someone in a suit of armor. He didn't know it yet, but that person was Samus.
"Oh, uh, hi there! How are you?
"Don't avoid the question. What the heck are you doing?"
"I was just, uh, looking at this thing!"
"You mean the toaster?"
"Yeah, totally! That's totally what it's called!"
"And you were going to swing a sword at it?"
"...It was already broken?"
Samus just gave him a blank look. "Sure it was, because you know it's broken when it does what's supposed to."
"Oh, of course!" Link said as he scratched the back of his head. "But, just to be safe, could you remind me what a toaster does?"
Samus put her hand over her visor. (Is this guy for real?)
(Quick, change the subject!) Link thought. "So, you're here for the tournament?"
"No, I'm here because I happened to randomly stumbled upon this place and that Master Hand guy just let me in for no reason whatsoever," Samus said sarcastically. "What do you think?"
"...I'll take that as a yes?"
At that moment, Mario came into the kitchen to check on the bread he put in the toaster. "Hey Link."
"Hey Mario," Link replied.
The red plumber grabbed his toast before noticing Samus. "Who're you a talking too?"
"I think's he's another participant in the tournament." Link noticed that Samus let out a sigh. "What did I do?"
"I'm a woman."
A record scratched in Mario and Link's heads. "You're a woman?!"
"Yeah."
"But you don't look like a woman!" Link argued.
"That's because I'm wearing this suit."
"But you sound like man!"
"I'm wearing a helmet that makes my voice sound different."
"But I don't see your-"
"Finish that sentence, and you'll spend the next six months in a hospital bed."
There was a small moment of silence. Samus then started to leave the room.
"So," Mario said, "you want to a watch a some TV?"
"Sure," Link replied. "Just got one question."
"And that a is?"
"What's TV?"
Mario let out a sigh. (This is going to be a long day.)
