Me: Well, I like this story more than I should, and I sing more than I should in the story. I have nothing else to say…
Marth: What about you don't own SSBB?
Me: Yeah, I guess I could have said that…
Ike: Or that you don't own any of the Taylor Swift songs?
Me: You know what? Just get back in the story.
Ike: *snickering*
*SSBB*
We approach the house, when a thought occurs to me.
"Dang it! Wish said my parents aren't home, but she didn't say anything about my brother!" I say with a groan, then start thinking about what would happen should they meet. What was one of the first things I think of? Marth could tell him he was indeed a he. At that, I burst out laughing.
"Link, maybe you were right to question her sanity…" Ike says trailing off as I slow to just giggling. What is with them and doubting my sanity?
"Sorry, I was just thinking of something. It would be a bittersweet thing to meet my brother, I'd stay away from him," I say, thinking of how embarrassed I'd be if Alex asked Marth his gender. Though so happy when Marth ends the argument with me being so awesomely right...
"Why?" Ike asks, and I shake my head, indicating that it doesn't matter.
"Never mind. Anyways, I'll go in first, you guys wait on the porch. If you see him, hide," I instruct, opening the door and getting assaulted by our over excited German Shepard. I could swear I hear an alarmed noise from outside, though ignore it.
"Hey Midnight, how are you doing girl?" I say with a laugh, stroking her back as I listen for any sign of my brother being in the house.
"Alex? You in here?" I call out hesitantly, Midnight running off to go bring me a toy. No reply.
I open the door hesitantly, sticking my head through the small gap I made.
"Okay, come on in, it doesn't seem like-" I start, breaking off as Alex called to me from upstairs. I swear, closing the door quickly after telling them to wait just a second.
"Who were you talking to?" He asks, hopping down the stairs and looking up at me when he reaches me.
"Me? No one," I tell him nonchalantly, hoping he'll think I'm crazy or something. It doesn't work.
"That's a lie. You were talking to some one," He says, reaching for the door handle. I quickly grab his wrist, shaking my head.
"Uh, no. I wasn't. You're crazy," I tell him, though he narrows his blue eyes at me.
"Really? Then you'll let me open the door," He says with a smirk, and I swear mentally, knowing that I would if I wasn't hiding three supposedly fictional guys outside.
"Fine then," I say nervously, hoping they run. I turn the handle, saying loudly, "See, there isn't anyone outside!" I hope the get the message and hide, Alex poking his head outside.
"… Fine, you're right. You're just crazy then," He says, not seeing anyone, obviously the three boys getting the picture and hiding.
"I know," I say cheerfully and Alex sighs, going back upstairs to play Minecraft or something. I want to bring them to my room, also upstairs. Problem.
"Hey Alex, what're you doin'? I ask him as he continues up the stairs.
"Minecraft," He says simply in reply, running and going into the upstairs play-room. I nod, making the rash decision to risk bringing them in anyways.
"Guys, come in, but very, very quietly…" I whisper as I open up the door again, they emerging from the bushes next to the house. They nod, following me in and creeping up the stairs with me. I only breifly wonder why Midnight didn't assualt it, but just pass it off as, I don't care, thoughts. Luckily for all of us I had cleaned up my room the day before (thank every higher power I did…), getting in quietly and closing and locking the door. I take my iPod out of my pocket, putting it in my stereo, turning up the volume so no one would hear us talk. I quickly change the song as it goes to Enchanted by Taylor Swift.
I laugh lightly as all three boys look around the room, completely amazed by all my gadgets and technology. Link seems especially interested in my bearded dragon, staring at him. I manage to get them back to focusing at the task a hand.
"Okay, so you got us in, now what?" Link asks for pretty much everyone in the room. I blink, unsure.
"I have no idea, let's think about that, shall we? You can't stay in my room, that'd be awkward and very conspicuous, and we have no vacant rooms. I'm just as confused as you are," I say.
"Don't you have a basement or something?" Ike asks, and I shrug.
"Yeah, but we use it. Well, Alex does, he likes to play down there." I also don't like it down there, but hey, that's my opinion.
"Then what was the use of bringing us here? You just cornered us!" Link says agitated, and I shush him, telling him to be quieter.
"It's Wish's fault! She told me to!" I whine, Marth sitting on my bed while Link and Ike glare at me.
"You mean the supposed 'magical being' only you hear?" Ike asks, and I nod.
"That's exactly the one I'm talking about," I say, Marth speaking up.
"Well at least we have a house to go to," he says with a shrug and I plop beside him.
"Thank you!" I say, the others not liking it still, when I think of something.
"Hey! My neighbor's are on a vacation for this week, and they're letting me take care of their house! We can hide you there until we think of something better!" I say excitedly, all of them thinking about it for a second then nodding.
"Eh, better than nothing I guess," Ike says and Link agrees. Thank you, neighbors, for lending me your house... Without you knowing...
The rest of the day was spent teaching them about electronics and common attire, though unable to get Marth to part with his tiara, Link with his hat, or Ike with his bandanna. And they all wanted to keep their swords with them, it had been hard enough to convince them to hide the sheaths with some kind of clothing, I couldn't manage to make them part with it though.
At around seven o'clock, my parents get home. I nervously wait until they both go into the backyard to go turn on the grill to make food, barely getting the boys out before they see.
I open my door as they slip out the back one, looking in on them.
"Come on, while they're distracted!" I whisper, the boys slipping out and I leading them down the street to the house.
"They said they'd be back on Saturday, so that means we have a week to think of something," I explain, the boys nodding. "G'night, don't let the bedbugs bite!" I say, slipping away to go home.
I go back home and luckily my parents believing me when I say I just went into the garage for a Coke. I travel upstairs with a can of Coke, ready to just think about what happened.
But of course, there had to be a girl around my age with bright, sunny, yellow hair and an outfit to match sitting on my bed and watching the door as I entered. I bite back a scream, dropping my can of Coke as my hands fly to my mouth. Luckily both still closed.
"Hi there!" She says in a voice that nearly makes me scream again. TO HELL WITH YOUR CREEPINESS!
"Wish?" I ask incredulously, shakily bending down to pick up my can of Coke and slowly making my way to her, putting my soda on the nightstand next to my bed.
"In the flesh!" She says cheerfully, grabbing my hand and pulling me to sit beside her.
"What… How…" I stammer, causing her to giggle.
"I just came here to explain something to you," She says. It took me a while to notice what else was wrong with her, but then I glance at her eyes. Pure white, no pupils, no irises. Weeeeeeiiiiird.
"That being?" I ask hesitantly, unsure if I really wanna know.
"Well, when I brought the video game characters, I brought all the playable characters to life," She says, stunning me. From Marth to Pikachu, she brought them all to life…
"Well, where are the rest of them then?" I ask, again, causing her to giggle.
"Scattered around your hometown!" She giggles, again, making me confused.
"Let me get this straight, there are random Brawl characters scattered around Low Garden?" I ask incredulously, Wish giving me that ever creepy giggle.
"Huh?" She says in confusion, then giggles, as if laughing at a joke. "Silly me. I meant... Wait... That's not a word..." I sigh, becoming impatient.
"Just tell me what you meant!" I snap quietly, not wanting to get my parents or brother in here.
"Geez, chill out..." She says with her ever annoying grin. Honestly. The girl should be pink. Then I could call her Pinkie Pie. "I meant to say something along the lines of 'country you live in'."
I stare at her, giving that a moment to sink in. Okay... So not Low Garden... NORTH AMERICA?!
Before I can freaking scream at that, she cuts me off. "Oh, and you might want to start putting them back in the game soon." Back... Wah?
"Back in the game? What? Why?" I ask in confusion, because honestly, I really want to keep Pikachu.
She doesn't elaborate, but instead says... "Oh don't worry, I'm sure the world won't implode if you keep maybe one or two characters for yourself." Her creepy pupil-less eyes make me wonder exactly where she's looking.
"… I really don't get you… Or this…" I say with a sigh, Wish giggling yet again, vanishing in a startling puff of smoke. I cough and wave my hand in front of my face, my room smelling like a campfire and the smoke alarms going off. Thanks Wish, let me get some sleep why don't you…
*SSBB*
I blink blurrily, waking up in my room after nabbing about six hours of sleep, having stayed awake until three to look for the fire my parents thought happened. But no, it was just a crazy, magical girl vanishing in a puff of smoke after assigning me some crazy adventure to go on… Joy…
"So, how'd you sleep?" Speak of the sunny-yellow devil…
A stream of vulgarities escapes me as I sit bolt up-right, staring down at the pupil-less entity staring up at me, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"Well aren't you Little Miss Sunshine?" She says sarcastically, yet still a laugh in her voice. Again, she should be pink.n If ONLY so I can call her Pinkie Pie.
"Well excuse me, I don't exactly know what to say to someone who watches me as I sleep," I shoot back dryly, Wish laughing, sounding a bit like wind-chimes… If wind-chimes were stalkers…
"I wasn't watching you sleep!" She giggles, causing me to slump in relief. That would have been a bit too creepy, even for me. "For more than an hour," She finishes, and I seriously would have expected the sweat-drop and black lines appearing over my head had this been an anime.
"Well why did you just watch me sleep for an hour?" I ask in a mentally pained voice.
"Eh, not much else to do. I stick to granting one wish at a time, it's easier to keep track of," She says with a shrug. I blink at her, unsure what to say next. Wish looks over to my door, vanishing in a puff of smoke, though this time I hurriedly disperse the cloud of smoke in a couple quick waves, praying the smoke alarms don't go off. My parents walk in a moment later, telling me it's about time (Uhm, hello, only nine people, it's a Sunday…) and asking me why it smells like smoke in my room.
"I have no idea…" I say with a shrug. Because honestly, I really am wondering why Wish has to leave smoke as she leaves.
"Well get outta bed, we're having breakfast and going to church at eleven," My dad informs me after kissing me on the head and leaving. It's lucky he did too, so he didn't see my disdain. Oh I'm fine with church and all, it's just… Early… And I don't know what to do with the boys now…
I sigh, getting out of bed and changing into new clothes (which are, if you're wondering, jeans and a T-shirt with a Pikachu on it. What? Don't judge me!), slipping my over-used phone and my just as over-used iPod into their respective pockets, making an odd sound as I stretch, cracking my back once or twice. I travel out of my room, heading downstairs and stealing from the pile of ready made pancakes, stealing maybe half the pile.
At around ten thirty I hide in my room, pulling out my phone and blankly trying to remember my neighbors phone number, growling in frustration when I can't think of it. I really need to get out more…
"Arceus that's pathetic…" I grumble to myself as I put my phone back in my pocket, making a mental note to find the phone number some way and getting out of my room and almost getting dragged down the stairs by my parents, pushing Alex and I to the car and driving off. I watch out my window intently as we pass the house I have Ike, Marth, and Link hidden in, seeing some movement. Hope they don't leave the house while I'm gone…
Damn, I think I just jinxed myself.
*SSBB*
An hour later at noon, I watch out the window once more, passing the house on the way back to mine, feeling like a creeper as I watch through their window. Nothing.
I hurry in the house before anyone else, closing the door and calling for the boys, sighing in relief when no one calls back, proving they were smart enough to keep out of the house.
"If you wanna know where they are, I'd try the park." A familiar voice says in my head, nearly making me jump and my family coming in the house and scattering to do whatever now that we're back.
"Arceus Wish, you scared the crap outta me…" I hiss softly, hearing giggling on the other line.
"Yup, I'm scary, grrr." She says playfully, more giggling on the other line.
"Whatever you say, you're the one with magical powers…" I say with a sigh, asking why they're at the park a moment later.
"'Cause, it's the safest place they know best to go to."
"Why didn't they stay in the house?"
"They couldn't remember how to work half the electronics you told them about."
"Idiots." I go around the house, locating my mom and securing permission to go to the park, evading my mom's questioning to if I had any homework.
*SSBB*
"You guys are morons," I say dead-serious as I walk into the park, pulling my earbuds out and rolling up my iPod in the cord after I pause Taylor Swift's Better Then Revenge.
"Why is that?" Link asks from on top of the long, blue twisty slide, just perching on top of it.
"Never mind…" I say with a sigh, Marth looking down at me from on top of the pavilion. Arceus knows how he got up there…
"Where's Ike? I can't-" I break off a moment later, a crash and a multitude of swears coming from the pine tree next to the park.
"I… I meant to do that," Ike says as he gets to his feet, adjusting his shirt from falling from the tree.
"Yeah, and I'm secretly a unicorn," I say sarcastically, Link snickering and Marth eyeing me as if I'd grow a horn and prance away.
"Tell them, I dare you! Tell them, tell them, tell them, tell them!" Wish giggles, ad I blink in confusion.
"Tell them what, exactly?" I ask, thinking she means how to work electrical appliances.
"That you have to start rounding up the characters! The faster you do so the faster I can see if my list of who you get first and last is right!" Riiiiiiight, that…
"More magical communication with 'Wish'?" Link asks from on top of the slide, clearly still thinking I'm crazy. I glare at him. Promptly telling him yes, that's exactly what it was, and motioning for them to get off their perches, Ike coming over easiest seeing as he's already on the ground.
"Well what did 'Wish' have to say this time?" Ike asks, sitting atop the table underneath the pavilion, Link climbing over the slide and sliding down it to get to the ground, coming and joining Ike and I. Marth jumps off the pavilion, landing gracefully on the ground and coming over, sitting atop the table and listening as I explain what my magical stalker told me.
The expressions on their faces are priceless.
*SSBB*
