A/N: Hello, dear readers!

Now that I am actually awake to write this, there are a few things I forgot to address.

Because I know very little about anybody who isn't Hylian in SSB, if I get any details wrong, please PM me and tell me what I wrote wrong.

Also, I will be gone from the 14-31 of July. Just so you guys know.

Read and review, please! Reviews are my food; don't let me starve!

Thanks to my awesome beta: TheLinkDargon!


Twilight found herself in a rather tight spot.

Since she knew nobody in the Smash Mansion, how could she find the Princess Zelda? Wandering around decreased her chances of finding her, but she didn't feel like she could ask anybody. Plus, the halls seemed devoid of human life.

She came back into the corridor that the morning's events with the four men had lead. Major renovation work was commencing, from what she could gather.

The giant hole Link had put in the wall had somehow fixed itself, as well as the spot Ike had torn out. Both Link and the now fully clothed Ike, dressed in a red cape, blue tunic, white tights and brown boots with the sword Marth had been carrying earlier placed in his belt, were clearing away the rubble from their earlier encounter, Marth was cleaning up the white substance that he had sprayed on Ike earlier, and Pit was helping out wherever he could.

Somebody was barking orders to the four men. She was at the bottom of the stairs, telling Pit where to place a larger chunk of debris.

She was a brunette, with long hair that reached her waist in some sort of strange braid. Her dress was purple and white. That was all Twilight could make out, because she was behind the woman.

Link noticed Twilight at the top of the stairs and screamed out, "TWILIGHT!" He dropped the rubble he was carrying on Ike's foot, and ran past the brunette woman to embrace Twilight.

"You're alive! We were afraid that Crazy Hand was going to do something ridiculous to you!"

"I…need…air…"

Link relaxed his hug a little and screamed back down the staircase. "GUYS, SHE'S ALIVE!"

We gathered that much, Link," Marth replied.

"Who's this?" The brunette had turned around, and was looking curiously at Twilight.

She was rather pretty, with sapphire blue eyes and pointed ears. Her dress was very elegant, with a purple top and a white bottom, tied by a frail golden belt. The belt had a cloth with strange designs embroidered on it, including…

…the stacked triangle…

"Oh, Zelda! This is Twilight Sparkle! I know absolutely nothing about her!"

Zelda raised an eyebrow at the madly grinning Link, looking somewhere between endearing and exasperated.

Twilight looked the brunette over in interest. "Are you the Princess Zelda?"

She gave a small curtsey. "That would be me. Just Zelda is fine here. We're all equals."

Link dropped Twilight and embraced the princess. "That's my Zellie," he said, rubbing his cheek on hers. "She's so nice! And polite!"

Zelda looked a bit embarrassed. "…Um, Link, there are other people here…"

Link gave a sappy grin, and leapt down the stairs to continue picking up the rubble. Ike, however, intervened with that plan, dropping a chunk of debris on Link's head.

"So, what do you need to see me for," Zelda asked, oblivious to the scene going on behind her.

"Um…" Twilight briefly wondered about telling Zelda about the fight commencing behind her, but then decided that she was probably ignoring it on purpose. Either that, or she couldn't hear a thing.

"The Master Hand told me to see you. He said that you would tell me more about the Smash World and what to do and what's going on."

Zelda smiled. "Yep! That's me. So, you're a new Smasher?" Zelda looked Twilight over, deciding whether or not Twilight was up to snuff. "Hmm. I've seen worse material."

Was that supposed to be an insult or a compliment? She couldn't decide, and let the matter drop.

"Well, let's start with the intros. You'll meet everybody later during dinner, but let's start here. I'm the Princess Zelda of Hyrule."

"I'm…Princess Twilight Sparkle of Equestria."

Link looked up from the death grip he had on Ike. "Now, how come every girl here is either a princess or can kick butt?"

Zelda's foot was planted firmly in Link's face, with little veins throbbing on her forehead in anger, by the time Twilight had registered the insult.

"This doofus butt," she growled, stepping off of Link, "is Link, the Hero of Twilight, and is from Hyrule." Link crashed to the ground, sporting a bloody nose.

The other three guys scuttled to what they deemed a safe distance, breaking out in cold sweats.

Zelda tsked. "I assume you boys are all big enough to introduce yourselves?"

All three of them gulped, before Pit worked up enough courage to come forward.

"I-I'm Pit, from Skyworld."

Marth stepped forward, now convinced that Zelda wouldn't tear off his head. "I'm Marth, from Altea."

"Ike, from Crimea."

Twilight nodded politely at all of them in greeting, before Zelda took her arm and whooshed her down the corridor.

They stood in the room where Link, Marth, and Pit had confronted the enraged Ike.

"This is the kitchen. Just in case you don't know, that white box is a refrigerator, aka a fridge, and it holds food and keeps it cold and fresh. The cupboards are for dry food. There are usually foodstuffs from everybody's home world, so your favorites should be here soon. The list on the fridge is the grocery list. Due to certain people, we find ourselves having to go shopping a lot."

Zelda turned around and glared at the unconscious Link, who Pit was applying first aid to.

"Um…do you think Link is okay," Twilight asked, rather concerned for the green hero. She had taken blows worse than that, and had kept going. Maybe he was anemic?

"Nah, he's pretending. Wants to see me cry and stuff. He likes that girly crap."

Link sat up, looking extremely pitiful, blood running down his face, eyes welling up with tears. "Aw, Zelda, have a heart. This poor boy has been through fire and water to save your butt, and what does he get for it? FRIENDZONED!" Link put his head in his hands, pretend sobbing his heart out.

Zelda smirked, grabbing Twilight's arm and leading her up the stairs. "Tell you what, Rinku, come find me later and I'll give you a reward."


"So, fourth floor and up are the dorms, with the girl's dorms being the fourth floor. You'll probably get your own room, but depending on the mood Master Hand is in, you might bunk with Samus. Third floor has the gym and library, while the second floor has the accessories cabinet and stage room. First floor is kitchen, cafeteria, and a big hall in which we do various things," Zelda explained as she climbed the staircase. "We're going to meet the rest of the gals and find your room, and then go to the gym for some basic Smash training."

Zelda stepped off the stairs, leading Twilight into a huge room that looked like a lobby combined with a living room. On each of the room's giant sides were two doors. In the living lobby, there were plush sofas and coffee tables, each having some sort of décor placed on it. The living lobby was a nice off-white color, with a chocolate brown carpet, and the sofas' colors accented the room nicely.

"Man, you weren't lying when you said they were the fourth floor," Twilight gaped in awe.

"Yeah, we girls get the best treatment. And you should see the rooms themselves," Zelda replied, smiling at Twilight's awe.

Zelda lead her across to the right of the lobby, to the first door, which had a plaque with Twilight's name on it.

"Looks like Master Hand was in a good mood," Zelda remarked, while pulling a chain off the doorknob. She held it up for Twilight's inspection. A key dangled off of it.

"This is the key to your room." Twilight took it from Zelda and hung it around her neck. "Rules of the Smash Mansion state that all the girls must have locks on the doors, to prevent cases of…you know…" Zelda looked uncomfortable, fidgeting with her gloves.

"Oh…okay. But what about the guys…?"

"The girls should be more sensible than to do that…"

An awkward silence sprang up in the lobby.

"Hello, my pretty ladies!"

A pink thing sprang into the room, high pitched voice squealing in excitement.

"Peach," Zelda coolly greeted.

The pink entity revealed itself to be another woman, this time very girly, and not as regal as Zelda. She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes. Her dress was a shocking pink color, complimented by her round blue earrings. She wore white gloves, and had a light turquoise brooch on her chest. Her tiara was gold, with a pink jewel in the front, and other jewels lining it.

"Who is this," Peach asked, leaning forward in Twilight's face. Twilight could smell her perfume, a sort of peachy scent.

Not so odd, as that is her name…

"I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle, and I'm from Equestria."

Peach squealed in excitement. "Oh! A new Smasher! That's so awesome! I'm Princess Peach, from the Mushroom Kingdom!"

Peach did a couple jumps in exhilaration. Twilight was instantly reminded of Pinkie Pie.

"Yes, yes," Zelda interrupted, waving her hand. "Twilight needs to be shown her rooms, and I'm sure she needs to unpack."

Twilight snapped up from her reminiscence of Pinkie. "But, I lost my bag when I came here."

Peach looked at her. "It probably just disappeared to become your pockets. Here, try to pull out something."

Twilight bit her lip, and thought of the book that Celestia had stuck in there. It instantly appeared in her hands.

Peach smiled and clapped her hands. "See? Easy as pie!"

Zelda patted her on the back. "Now, to put it away, just put it like you were putting something in your pockets."

Twilight complied, and it vanished into thin air.

"Whoa…" she breathed.

Zelda and Peach smiled.

"Now, let's show you your room. We've still got a lot of stops to make."

Peach waved and headed back to the stairs. "Zellie, I'll see you at lunch. Sammie and I wanted to discuss something with you."

Zelda waved back before leading Twilight into the now unlocked room.

"Okay. This is your room (like we've been saying for the past chapter), so…yeah. Do you want to unpack first, or what?"

Twilight nodded hesitantly. "Sure. It'll only take five minutes; I didn't bring that much stuff."

~Time Skip~

Twilight closed the door of her room, finding Zelda patiently examining the back of her gloved hand.

"Hey! Ready to go?"

Twilight nodded, and Zelda lead her back to the staircase.

"So, next is the gym. Since the Smash World is a little dangerous, it's probably best if we get you used to fighting now. Link will probably be the one to train you; he trained me and a few others in the compound, but if you want I could try…" Zelda laughed. "Although, I'm not a very good teacher."

Twilight shrugged. "I don't really mind who does it…" She trailed off, wondering what made the Smash World so dangerous and how on earth she was going to fight without magic.

"Okay. Well, best let the pro do it!"

They arrived at a set of huge doors with the word Gymnasium painted over it. Zelda pushed open the door, said something about finding Link, and disappeared in a flash of green light.

Twilight was rather surprised by Zelda's disappearance. Maybe all the Smashers could teleport like that…?

No, Twilight thought, practical side showing. They wouldn't have installed stairs if that was the case.

She opened the door a bit farther, stepping into the gigantic gym.

It was tannish in color, with a lot of equipment set up near the walls. If you could imagine it, it was there. Blue mats littered the floor, making the wooden flooring better for practice. There were dummies mixed in with the equipment, which made Twilight rather apprehensive about what the Smashers actually did.

"Hey, Twi!"

Link stepped in, bloody nose gone, and looking very cheerful.

"Zellie says that it's training time! So, ready?"

Twilight gulped and nodded.

"Okay! First thing: What type of Smasher?"

"Excuse me?" Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"You heard me. Since people here are from different dimensions, some of them are magic, some use technology, yada yada yada. So, back in…wherever you're from-"

"Equestria."

"Gesundheit. So, what is your main method of attack or defense back home?"

Twilight thought about it for a few seconds. "Probably magic, but I don't like to fight."

"Okay. So your attacks will mostly be magic-based, much like my Zellie's."

"YOU DO NOT OWN ME!"

Link rolled his eyes, before gesturing Twilight onto a mat. "So, I'm gonna show you the basic 'A', 'B', and 'C' attacks. They differ from person to person, but I'm just gonna show you how to use them. Then I'll pit you against a dummy, and then you can practice your attacks. Okay?"

Twilight nodded, as Link chose a dummy from the bottom of an equipment pile. With a crash, Link disappeared in a pile of paraphernalia, and let out a series of words Twilight had never heard before.

"Okay, I hate this place," Link said, resurfacing from the pile of assorted equipment. "That happens every single time I come in here."

"Maybe you should stop choosing things from the bottom of the pile," Zelda suggested sarcastically from her spot by the door.

Link looked stunned, like he had never thought of that before. Twilight felt herself break out in a sweat.

Am I really letting this idiot train me?
