ROOMMATES AND RUMORS PART TWO
Gabby-Star, Thank you for reading! I'm glad you like it! And no love for Fawful before he is my favorite character. He gets more love as the story progresses. Everybody else who reviewed, thank you for the encouragement! I actually wouldn't have attempted to continue this story if it wasn't for you guys!
Sorry for being so late with this. I have sooo many other stories and things to be doing... But since I had already finished the first and second parts I decided to finish the whole chapter! And on the plus side, I have completed the list of characters in what room, andtotallydidn'taddStickstothecharacterrosterinchaptertwo. Hope you enjoy!

Not surprisingly, the engineers and mechanical geniuses were in the same cottage, cottage number 4.
First there was Bokkun, Dr. Eggman's robot. He was rather short, only Kirby's size, and wore a jetpack on his back as well as a belt with the letter "M" on it. He was made of black metal and had two cat-like ears and big, gold eyes.
Then there was Magolor, the little Halcandran. He was a small cat-like alien, only instead of paws he had two gloved hands floating by his sides. He wore a blue hood which covered his ears, and the hood was decorated with white and gold, with a particularly pretty gold cog-shape around the opening. Attached to the hood was a white scarf which covered the alien's mouth. Wrapped under the scarf, with a little bit poking out, was a blue collar that buckled together at the front. Attached to the collar was a white cape with gold ends. And, last but not least, the main part of his ball-like body was covered in a sort of bodysuit, a blue one with a gold cog pattern like his hood, and lined with a royal purple.
The last person was Egad. You know what he looks like.
The three easily found their cottage, as Magolor teleported them there. He wasn't only an engineer and ship driver, but a mage, you see.
Their house was exactly the same as the one Kirby, Sonic and Mario were in, only covered in blue flowers.
Egad had brought a small suitcase along with him. As Bokkun watched him unpack it, he expected to see some cool gadgets. Instead, he saw an empty picture frame and...
"A hat?"
Yes, a hat. Sitting inside the suitcase was a blue party hat with red stars all over it and two black ribbons sticking out from the top.
Egad, who had been busy placing the picture frame on a shelf, quickly turned around and snatched it up.
"Yes. And it's mine. So leave it alone, Slick!"
Bokkun was slightly confused.
…Slick?
He brushed it off. It was probably just a slip of the tongue.
"Uh, what does it do?" He asked, sitting on the bed. "I mean, it must be a pretty cool invention if you decided to bring it here!"
"Invention? ... Ah! Yes. An invention! It... Um... Reads minds. Yes. It's so I can get into the minds of the other competitors before the events, you know, find their weaknesses and strengths."
He smiled, although Bokkun could see the sides of his mouth quivering.
"Okay then, Egad. Read my mind."
He could see the professor flinch at this. He started sweating slightly with embarrassment and nervousness.
"Uh, um, I can't. You're a robot. I can't read a robot's mind. Also, I'm still figuring out the bugs."
Bokkun sighed.
"Fine. Probably doesn't work anyway. You're a terrible inventor. A terrible scientist in general."
Egad fumed.
"What?! I am a BRILLIANT inventor! How dare you insult me?"
Bokkun was about to answer when a loud thud was sounded on the other side of the room.
It was Magolor. He had slammed his hand against the wall in anger.
"Great Ancients, you two." he scolded. "Really. These Games are meant to be for fun, and I will not let you two and your bickering ruin everything. Leave the fighting to the competition, will you?"
The robot and the human swapped glances.
"Gee, I'm sorry, Egad. I guess I was just jealous."
"Apology accepted, little one!"
"Good." Magolor clasped his hands together. "Now, what say we play a game of cards?"
oOo
Eggman, Bowser and King Dedede just happened to be together in cottage 5.
King Dedede resembled a large penguin-like creature dressed in red royal finery, with his personal emblem, a peace sign, embossed on the back of his robe. King Dedede himself is rather portly, is blue-skinned and has a yellow mouth/beak/thing. He had a round red cap, which had a yellow or golden rim and a white ball at the top and two yellow gloves covering his flipper-like hands. He had a tan piece of clothing under his robe which, however, didn't go all the way up to his neck, revealing a blue belly. In addition, he had a red and yellow zigzag patterned girdle-like band stretched across his waist. He held his trademark weapon, a large star-studded hammer on this shoulder lazily.
Bowser is a large, spiky-shelled turtle. His shell is green, his belly yellow, and he has a wild crop of red hair on top of his head. He was bigger than all the other competitors.
Dr Eggman is a normal person, considering all the other competitors, apart from his IQ of 300. He usually wears black pants, black boots with silver buckles and a red, long sleeved jacket, decorated with silver buttons and zippers, and with blocky yellow cuffs on each sleeve. He wears a pair of giggles on his head at all times, and while not wearing them over his eyes he wears a pair of dark blue tinted glasses. Much like Sonic, he always wears gloves.
The three had finally arrived at their cottage after a bit of conflict; Dedede started off reading the map, but Bowser took it off him saying he was reading too slow, and the two would've either torn it or burnt it if it wasn't for Eggman interfering.
"Really, if you two keep fighting, I'll kick you both out of the house!" He grumbled as they opened the birch wood door to get inside. Their house was covered in little red flowers, and the door had a flame pattern on it, pleasing Bowser immensely.
It you compared this cottage to all the other ones, you would find that it was much bigger. Not that it had more rooms, it anything, but it seemed like everything had been upsized especially to cater for the size of these certain competitors.
"Hey, I actually fit in the bed!" Bowser smiled, sitting in one closer to the window. "I might actually enjoy these games!"
"I agree." Eggman said, sitting on another bed. "You really outdone yourself organizing all this, Dedede."
The penguin smiled nervously, sitting on the remaining bed. "Um, thanks! I... Knew this would be a good idea!"
"Now," Bowser began, leaning down towards the others with an evil grin. "Let's discuss some evil plans..."
oOo
In cottage 6 were some of the prettier competitors; Princess Peach, Princess Ribbon and Princess... No, wait... Amy Rose. Just normal Amy Rose, a young pink haired, humanoid hedgehog wearing a cherry red dress, red high-heeled boots and a red headband in her hair. Oh, and holding a giant hammer in her gloved hands.
"Where the heck are we?" She asked, directing her question at Ribbon, the little fairy leading the way for them.
Princess Ribbon had dark blue eyes and rosy cheeks. She had light pink, messy shoulder-length hair. Her clothes consisted of a large red ribbon in her hair, long-sleeved crimson dress with two golden buttons and a frilly white collar, and a pair of small beige shoes. She also had a pair of nearly translucent cyan wings attached to her back that allowed her to hover in midair.
"Almost there." She replied, keeping her cool. "Not long now."
Princess Peach was taller than the two; a human with bright blue eyes, blonde, shoulder-length hair and fair skin. She was wearing a pink dress that covered her entire body, and had long white gloves on. Two large, round ear-rings sat on her ears, and she had a crown atop her head.
"I do hope we get there soon." She said in her soft, smooth voice. "It's getting rather cold…"
"Is that it?" Amy asked, pointing towards a house at random. It was in a small clearing, surrounded with a barrier of snow. It had a garden bed around the outside, holding the snow and preventing it from filling up the walkway. Not that that mattered, because the falling snow had already done that.
"Yes, yes it is!" Ribbon smiled, putting the map away. "Great job!"
"Wow, first try!" Amy giggled, running towards the house… only to trip face-first into the snow.
"Oh, do be more careful!" Peach exclaimed, helping her up. "Are you hurt?"
"Nope!" Amy replied, swinging her hammer into her shoulder, almost hitting Ribbon who had come up behind her. "I'm just so excited, that's all! Tomorrow after the games one of the Popstar competitors I was talking to told me he'd bring me and Sonic to a place called Nutty Noon for a double date! I'm just so excited and impatient that I can't wait!"
Ribbon had to decode what Amy had said. "So… one of the people from my team? Who was it?"
"Doesn't matter!" Amy replied, turning on her heel towards the door, just barely knocking the crown off the ducking Peach's head with her hammer. "He's pretty cute though! But not as cute as Sonic. Anywho, it's getting cold out here. Let's go inside!"
She walked inside, leaving Peach and Ribbon alone in the front garden.
"She's gonna be a handful, isn't she?" Ribbon grumbled, hunching forwards a bit in annoyance.
"Yes, yes she is."
"Thought so."
