In the sky, somewhere
Fox grinned as he commanded his arwing to do a single loop de loop through the sky.
"Beat that, bird breath!" he challenged, laughing as the static in his ear piece crackled with an obscene phrase. "Come on foxy, challenge me a little!" the voice stated, as the blue bird who was talking appeared on the screen in front of Fox. Falco gave Fox a cheeky grin as he steeled himself for the task that he was about to perform. Fox smirked as the arwing beside him made an epic fool of its self, as it tried to perform what appeared to be a triple loop de loop. The smirk soon turned into a full fledged laugh as the scowling face of Falco appeared on his screen. Fox heard him mutter something about "stupid wind velocity", but he easily brushed it aside as he quickened his pace through the sky. "Race you!" Fox shouted. "It won't be much of a race Foxy!" Falco retorted, as he too sped through the sky. See, it's not often that you see Fox McCloud and Falco Lombardi, chief pilots of Star Fox, acting like such fools, but apparently today was an exception.
The usually stoic duo were now screeching and hollering as they sped through the sky, throwing in the occasional loop de loop which cause the other to burst into school-girl like giggles. Yes, today was quite the unusual day.
"Fox! Falco!" came an enraged voice from both of their ear pieces. The two sobered up immediately, as they could hear the nervousness laced in their mechanic, Skippy's voice. "Guys! You've flown into unmarked lands! You're not on our radars anymore! Get out imm-" But he was cut off with what sounded like….a weather man?
"Today in Mushroom Kingdom, the weather is super sunny! What a great day for a family day out. Let's all follow our beloved Princess Peach's role, and go out for a little bit of exercise! She can be seen destroying our favorite plumber in red, Mario, in the castle tennis courts! Don't worry Mario; I'm sure some toads will cheer you on! Now, onto Donkey Kong with the rate of banana stocks, which seem to have dropped considerably since Bowser's last…." The voice soon trailed off, leaving the two pilots in a tense silence.
Slowly and cautiously, Fox peered out the window of his arwing and came face to face with the overly cartoonized Mushroom Kingdom. He slumped back onto his seat and stared at an equally shaken up Falco. "Well who knew we'd hear their names again, huh?" Falco stated, trying to ease the tension with a nervous laugh. Fox gave a weak grin as the unwanted memories came flying back. The famously short man Mario, and the princess dressed from head to toe in pink, Peach. Donkey Kong the giant monkey that Fox had thought was on steroids, and Bowser the giant turtle, or as he liked to call himself, the Koopa King. The creepy toads that Peach seemed to pull from her back pocket…The time when Falco had finally snapped and shot them with his laser gun. Who knew Peach could resemble an angry rhino? All the memories came back, even though they weren't supposed to. The thing was, Nintendo had made it very clear that Fox, Falco, and anyone related to StarFox that they were never to think of the competitors from Melee ever again. And Fox, well Fox took Nintendo seriously. They were his creators after all.
A sudden beep caused Fox to snap out of his nostalgic state, and stare at his tragic gas tank. "Idiot." He heard Falco mutter from his aircraft. "I filled mine up before we even le-beep."Falco started to brag, but he was cut off by a beep too. Fox smirked as Falco cursed under his breath.
"I guess the only way to go is down." Fox stated, stopping his arwing in mid-air and opening the window with a parachute in hand. With a solemn salute, Fox dropped from the sky, hoping that the creepy toads that infested Mushroom Kingdom at least had soft heads. With a deep sigh, Falco soon followed, whooping as the adrenaline rushed through his veins. The two were officially "dropping" in to visit Mushroom Kingdom. Whether they liked it or not.
Princess Peach's castle tennis courts
"Take that Mario!" the unbelievably sweet voice of Peach shouted, as she swung her pink tennis racquet down for a smash. The plumber in red yelped as the green ball came plummeting to earth, and he cowered, using his own racquet as a shield.
"And Princess Peach wins another match, making the score Mario: 0 and Princess: 27!" a goomba on the side shouted, followed by Peach cheering daintily. She was soon swarmed with a crowd of toads, screaming her name. Mario, on the other hand, dropped to the floor and sighed. The Italian had survived 27, 27, games with the Princess and now he was ready to head home and sleep for the next week.
"Mario! Oh, Mario!" Peach called, causing Mario to groan inwardly. Not another match. Please. Nevertheless, Mario heaved himself up and walked toward the Princess, who was charmingly patting each of her admirers on the head and thanking them.
"Yes Princess?" Mario managed to splutter out, mustering as much energy as he could to the words. "I have a surprise for you! Come to the castle!" Peach stated, her voice filled with cheerfulness. Being Peach, it was probably a new addition to her wardrobe of identical clothing, but being the polite man he was, Mario followed. Soon, Peach was gushing on about the new tea room she was adding to the castle, making the grand total to 11. The princess sure enjoyed her tea. Maybe a bit too much for Mario's taste, but since he wasn't paying too much attention to the blabbering Princess, he managed to keep his sanity.
"…I was going for a rosier colour, like tea room number 8, but then I decided "Peach, it's time for you to branch out a bit more!" Yes I did talk to myself! How strange! Anyway, now I'm going for dark pink. Quite rebellious don't you think?" Peach rambled on, and Mario sighed. There was only so much talk about the colour pink that a man could take.
"…Can't you imagine it Mario? It's going to be so beautiful! Almost like the colour of Zelda's dress back in Melee!" Peach suddenly cut herself off and looked down at a shocked Mario. "I-I mean, uhh, um well here we are!" Peach stuttered as they approached her castle.
"Come on Mario!" she called, trying to bring the old cheer back into her voice. 'Into this room, now hurry!" The princess was practically bouncing with joy as she approached a tall door. "It must be a very nice new dress." Mario thought, as he started to open the door.
"Mario!" came an excited voice from the inside of the room, and before he could react, Mario was glomped, and all he could see was the colour green.
"Its-a me! Luigi!" the man cried, hugging Mario again. "Luigi! When did you get back?" Mario asked, quite astonished at seeing his younger brother again. Luigi had been away for quite some time now, at what appeared to be a haunted mansion. Why? Mario had no idea, but he had missed the fool dearly. Behind the pair, Peach was daintily dabbing at her eyes mumbling so something about a "beautiful reunion", though neither Mario nor Luigi found anything beautiful about it. It was probably just a princess thing…
"Mario! You won't believe it! I got accepted into a tournament! For actual fighters! Me! Luigi!" Luigi shouted, jumping up and down. "A tournament?" Mario asked, confused. "What kind of tournament?"
"Like the tournament you and Peach went on a few years ago! A giant hand stopped me on my way back from the mansion and said "I, Master Hand, unbeatable boss of…" Luigi rambled on, and Peach and Mario exchanged a glance.
"Could it be?" Mario mouthed to Peach, careful not to let the still blabbering Luigi notice his wavered attention.
"Master Hand? How could it though?" Peach mouthed back, fear in her eyes. Nintendo had firmly told Peach years ago that she was never to speak of the people from Melee again, but now here was Luigi talking about it like nobody's business.
"..And then, he said "Luigi, brother of Mario, you are now accepted into Nintendo's new franchise SUPER SMASH BRAAAWWL!" And then, he disappeared, but then he came back and said that you two were invited too! Then I asked him for an autograph, even though I was really scared! I felt so brave Mario I can't even-" Luigi continued, but he was cut off by Mario.
"Us too? Me and Peach?" Mario asked cautiously, and Luigi nodded vigorously in answer. "I've got to start packing!" Peach screeched in the background, and even Mario managed a small smile. Melee had been amazing, even though he had to stare at Bowser's ugly face every day. But now, to be able to go back? Mario jumped high and yelled his signature, "Wahoo!" which Luigi soon joined in on. "Wahoo! Wahoo! Wahoo!" the two brothers said in turn as they jumped up and down.
Suddenly their harmony was very rudely interrupted by a blood curding scream.
"FOX! THERE ARE SO MANY TOADS!"
A/N What did you think hmmmm? Yea, I just had to write Falco being afraid of toads. He's just that amazing. AND YAY LUIGI. RnR please :)
