This is the moment of truth. Please enjoy the story. Remember, I do not own any of the characters I use, because I have no creativity. I can't create my own characters, so I have to steal from Nintendo. LOL
4.000 words. OMG, this is not like me.

Chapter 13: The Valentine's Day Party.
"Wake up Jr!" yelled Yellow Yoshi.
Bowser Jr was still snuggled in his blanket with his eyes shut, but he was not sleeping. He was merely faking his sleep, but Yellow Yoshi is very persistent. She stared at Bowser Jr for a while and walked away. Bowser Jr doesn't know whether he should be relieved or worried. Suddenly, he felt cold water rush over his body. Bowser Jr jerked up and stared at the Yoshi menacingly.
"It was the only way to wake you up." teased Yellow Yoshi. She giggled at the koopa as he finally began to rise from his bed.
"Goodness, you wet my bed!" yelled Bowser Jr frustrated.
"I'm sorry, you wouldn't wake up so I had no choice but to do it." said Yellow Yoshi giggling once in a while.
"What are you planning?" asked Bowser Jr.
"It's Valentine's Day!"
"And."
Yellow Yoshi rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Are you always like this on Valentine's Day?" she asked.
"Yes, got a problem." responded Bowser Jr coldly.
"Good morning!" greeted Sword as he entered their room. Blade entered the room as well and greeted them.
"What's the problem?" asked Blade who noticed their silent argument.
"It's just Jr, he is so rude on Valentine's Day. He don't like Valentine's Day for some reason." said Yellow Yoshi.
"And it is gonna stay like that!" yelled Bowser Jr.
"Why don't you like Valentine's Day?" asked Sword.
"I just don't like it." said Bowser Jr.
"Oh, I see." responded Blade. "Oh yes, room service is going to be bring our breakfast. Many brawlers are out on Smashville, preparing for the Valentine's Day party."
"That sounds fun, wish I can go but I'm not a brawler." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Actually, people are allowed to bring guest and Meta Knight is inviting us to go to the party with him."
"Whoa, since when did Meta Knight became a party person?" said Bowser Jr all of a sudden.
"Nah, he's no party person, but he will be going to the party with Jigglypuff." said Sword.
"That is so sweet." responded Yellow Yoshi.
"Meta Knight has a girlfriend! That is so stupid. I feel sorry for Jigglypuff." said Bowser Jr.
"For what?" responded Yellow Yoshi.
"He is probably going to be sitting during to whole party. You can't imagine Meta Knight dancing on the floor with Jigglypuff." teased Bowser Jr.
"It's just a party, it's more than just the dance." said Sword.
"Oh that's right, it's Valentine's Day. Will there be some hugging and kissing." teased Bowser Jr.
"Oh Jr, that's enough." snapped Yellow Yoshi.
--
Smashville was unusually crowded today. The streets were filled with spectators and smashers shopping on Valentine's Day. All of the female smashers were together, doing what females do best: shop.
"Samus, you never take off that suit." complained Princess Peach.
"I just grew attached to this suit. I am so used to wearing this suit." said Samus.
"We should get you some clothes!" exclaimed Peach.
"No thanks." responded Samus.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea." said Zelda. "We should all go look for something to wear for the Valentine's Day party."
"Let's go!" exclaimed Nana.
"Are all girls like that?" asked Mario as he noticed the female smashers.
"Samus may be a huge exception, but yes, girls are like that." said Link.
"Instead of watching what the girls are doing, you should really pay those bills Mario." said Fludd.
"Can't believe I still have to pay the bills even though me and Luigi are not home!" exclaimed Mario.
"That's life my friend." said Link.
"I hate paying bills, such a waste of money." grumbled Mario.
"So you rather have a big fancy mansion with no electricity, Mario?" taunted Fludd.
"Shut up Fudd."
"Hey look, it's Fox and Falco." pointed out Link.
Fox and Falco were at the other side of the street, conversing with each other. They spotted Mario and Link together and rushed to them. A car honked on Fox and Falco as they intercepted the car's path, causing a close collision.
"Oh my gosh, Fox, you made me laugh so hard yesterday!" exclaimed Mario.
"I know, Falco was so pissed off. I was laughing the whole way home." said Fox.
"Who are you going with Fox?" asked Mario.
"Do you have to know these kind of things." said Fox.
"C'mon."
"Same as last time."
"You're bringing Crystal?"
"Yes."
"Falco, you're bring Katt?" asked Mario.
"Yes." responded Falco.
"typical"
"Well, you're going with Peach, typical." retorted Falco.
--
The female smashers eventually returned home with a couple of shopping bags. Peach grabbed her stuff and walked to her room. A small box and a letter stood in front of the door. She picked up the box and took out the letter. The letter was from Bowser. She read the letter and was somehow amused. She opened the box and took out the gorgeous pendant that Bowser bought. Peach loved the pendant, but it was from Bowser. She opened the door to her room and placed her bags on the floor. She took the pendant and put it in her jewelry box.
"Maybe one day, but not now." said Peach, commenting the necklace.
"Happy Valentine's Day Peach!" said Mario as he entered Peach's room. "The door was open, hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." said Peach.
"I got something for you, I know I never buy you anything, but this year will be different." said Mario.
Mario presented his large teddy bear to Princess Peach. Peach gasped in surprise and ran to hug Mario."That is so sweet of you." said Peach.
"Mario, let's go! Fox and Falco are waiting for us." said Link, trying to rush Mario.
"Sorry Peach, I got to go." said Mario. He ran off the room and shut the door.
Peach looked at the present that Mario bought her and though about the present that Bowser bought her. It was apparent that Bowser really loved her. Somehow, she felt pity for the guy, but she could never fall in love with a guy like him. It seemed that Mario was her only choice.
"Maybe Mario won't notice." said Peach as she went to her jewelry box to grab the present that Bowser bought. She wore the necklace around her neck.
"It is so beautiful." said Peach as she looked at herself in the mirror.

Bowser Jr was sitting on the balcony, looking at the vague image of Smashville at the horizon. A drop of tear fell from his eye as he looked out. The memory became clear, his mother died at this day, her favorite holiday. Of all the days of the year, her death was chosen at this day. He allowed the cool wind blow on his face to dry off the tears on his face.
"I miss my mom." muttered Bowser Jr. "Why did you have to die? I loved you so much. You were the only person I loved. You were the only one that took care of me. Yet, I am not realizing this until now. I finally get what Meta Knight was trying to tell me. I do not know what I have until I lose it! I didn't start caring about my mother until I lost her to death. I didn't knew I had a great mother until I lost her."
Why did he start realizing this on this day? Strange, he only realized this because of Meta Knight. It was hard for him to come up with a conclusion, because he don't believe in spirits, yet that was the only kind of conclusion he can come up with. He got up from the balcony and laid on his bed. He looked out towards the balcony, watching the sun approach the horizon.
"Bowser Jr." said Sword as he entered his room.
"Yes Sword." muttered Bowser Jr.
"We are going to the party now, so if you're ever hungry just call room service. We told Yellow Yoshi already, so don't worry too much."
"alright."
Sword closed the door after he left the room. Bowser Jr closed his eyes and drifted into slumber.

"Welcome to the third annual Valentine's Day party!" announced Master Hand. "Did that sounded good?" asked Master Hand all of a sudden.
This wasn't the actually party, it was only Master Hand's rehearsal. He tend to practice his announcements before actually making it.
"Don't worry, you sound cool." reassured Crazy Hand. "When do we get to boogie?"
"Tonight my pal, tonight." said Master Hand.
"Is it too early to crash the party?" asked King DeDeDe as he entered the ballroom.
"The party is not even started." said Master Hand.
King DeDeDe left the room in frusteration.
"How long do we have before the party starts?" asked Crazy Hand.
"Two hours." stated Master Hand.
"I can't wait that that long." complained Crazy Hand.
Two hours later…
"I told you I can wait." said Crazy Hand as he greeted the Smashers that are entering the ballroom.
If Master Hand had eyes, he would have rolled them. He too was greeting the smahsers as they entered the ballroom.
"Let's get the party started!" screamed Crazy.
Crazy Hand floated to the center of the ballroom and began to do some disco using his fingers as limbs. All of the smashers watched uninterested. A random cane grabbed Crazy Hand and pulled him off the room.
"I'll be back!" threatened Crazy Hand.
Jigglypuff was seated on the chair, waiting for Meta Knight to arrive. She looked down and daydreamed all the possible things that she can do on the dance floor with him. She came back to reality and looked at the entrance, to see if he was coming at all. Jigglypuff sighed.
"Did I made you worry?" asked Meta Knight.
"You suprisesd me Meta Knight, where were you?" said Jigglypuff.
"Looking for you." said Meta Knight.
Suddenly, everyone froze to see the mysterious woman that just entered the ballroom. All of the guy's jaw dropped. The mysterious woman was walking alongside Princess Peach and Princess Zelda.
"Do you like her?" said Peach.
"We did some serious persuasion to force Samus into a dress." said Zelda.
"S-Samus." stuttered Capt. Falcon.
"It wasn't easy fixing her up too." said Peach.
Everyone continued doing whatever they were doing. Some smashers were dancing at the center of the room, but most of the smashers were talking in small groups.
"C'mon everyone , boogie!" exclaimed Crazy Hand as Master Hand was trying to drag his brother off the dance floor.
"Meta Knight, can you dance?" asked Jigglypuff curiously.
"No, but I can waltz, because it is pretty basic." responded Meta Knight.
"Put up a waltz!" demanded Zelda, who was secretly listening to their conversation. The DJ popped out the CD and placed another CD in the player. The familiar down beat of the waltz is heard.
"C'mon Meta Knight, dance!" begged Zelda.
"C'mon Meta Knight, everyone is doing it!" said Peach.
"This is not necessary." responded Meta Knight, who did not know what to do.
Zelda began to pull Meta Knight into the dance floor. All of the smashers watched curiously. Meta Knight was feeling very embarrassed at this moment because he does not like to dance, let alone with a partner.
"You said you can do a waltz, so we put a waltz for you." said Peach.
"Don't worry Jigglypuff, we got this all under control." whispered Zelda to Jigglupuff.
"You didn't have to do this." said Jigglupuff.
"But this the day you get to do what you want. You helped out in every single event that the Smash Bros. holds. You need to do something for yourself." said Peach.
"Hold her hands." commanded Zelda to Meta Knight.
"Do I have to?" complained Meta Knight. Because he didn't want to start an argument, he grabbed Jigglypuff's hands.
"Awwh." said Zelda as she watched the two puffballs hold hands.
"Now dance." ordered Peach.
"How do I waltz?" asked Jigglypuff.
"Just stepped to the left and then to the right and repeat." instructed Meta Knight. "Just do what I do."
Meta Knight began step left and then right, following the rhythm strictly. Jigglypuff began to enjoy and somehow Meta Knight was beginning to enjoy it.
"Nice moves!" taunted Blade.
"Why thank you!" retorted Meta Knight. "Let's see you do a better job."
"Uuuh, no thanks." responded Blade, knowing that he can't dance himself.
All of the smashers joined in the dance, but Jigglypuff and Meta Knight were at the center of the ball room.
"Where's the boogie?" muttered Crazy Hand.
--
"Wake up Bowser Jr, again." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Heh, I guess I feel asleep." said Bowser Jr as he rose from his bed.
"Sword and Blade left for the party, do you want to go somewhere, it's safe for us to go to Smashville."
"No, let's go to the party."
"No Bowser Jr, ALL of the smashers are there including my brother and your father."
"That is why we have the invisible cloak."
"Fine."
--
Jigglypuff subconsciously leaned closer to Meta Knight as they waltz around the room with the other smashers. The only smashers that did not participate were the pokemon, the villains and Samus.
"Samus, you should join." said Zelda as she was waltzing with Link. "Find someone Samus, this is very fun."
Samus looked around the room, searching for a random guy. She spotted Snake at the other side of the room and walked towards him.
"Will you dance with me?" asked Samus regretfully.
"Nothing better to do." responded Snake. Samus perked up a bit, surprised by Snake's response.
Samus grabbed Snake's hand joined in the Waltz.
"Are you enjoying this?" asked Jigglypuff.
"I am enjoying this." responded Meta Knight.
Suddenly, an even slower music began to play. Jigglypuff leaned her head on Meta Knight's shoulders.
"Do you mind?" said Jigglypuff.
"Not at all."
"I never realized how pretty you are." said Meta Knight. Jigglypuff began to blush so hard that her face seemed to have changed colors. Luckily, her face was on Meta Knight's shoulders, so no one saw her blushing.
"Why do you wear this mask all the time?" asked Jigglypuff.
"Because I like it."
"Meta Knight, I loved you since the day I first met you." admitted Jigglypuff. She held her breath waiting for Meta Knight's respond.
"I knew you were in love." responded Meta Knight.
Meta Knight stroked Jigglypuff's cheeks. Jigglypuff blushed even more and even began to sweat from the anxiety.
"I look a lot like Kirby if you wanted to know what's under the mask." said Meta Knight.
Jigglypuff raised Meta Knight's mask, but Meta Knight made no response. She saw the face that Meta Knight was hiding for years. Indeed, he did look a LOT like Kirby.
She leaned closer to him out of curiosity, but as she neared his face, a different force was pushing her. As their lips slowly began to make contact, Meta Knight's blood began to rush around his body. His heart raced knowing that they were about to kiss. Suddenly, Meta Knight's mind turned blank. He pushed Jigglypuff and ran out of the ballroom at top speed. Jigglypuff stood, flabbergasted. She didn't knew what just happened. She stared blankly at the door which Meta Knight exited.
Meta Knight was running as fast as he could, but he didn't knew why. It was such a strange instinct. First he wanted to kiss, but the next second, he's running for his dear life.
Jigglypuff eyes dilated and even trembled a bit a what just happened. Peach saw her astounding look, but she knew trying to help her is just going to be an effort in vain.
Bowser Jr and Yellow Yoshi were walking towards the Smash Mansion, until Yellow Yoshi spotted Meta Knight running at top speed. She knew something was wrong. She let go of the invisible cloak and ran towards Meta Knight.
"META KNIGHT!" yelled Yellow Yoshi as she was chasing him.
Bowser Jr was clueless at what just happened so he continued to move towards the Smash Mansion.
Yellow Yoshi was chasing Meta Knight, but Meta Knight continued to run away. Yellow Yoshi became agitated and began to run at a much faster speed. She caught up to Meta Knight and pulled his cape. Meta Knight fell to the ground hard and quickly turned around.
"What are you doing!" scolded Meta Knight.
"I was asking you the same thing, what happened! I saw you run away from the party. Something is wrong with you, now tell me."
"You do not need to know my business."
"You can't keep everything to yourself Meta Knight!" scolded Yellow Yoshi.
"Get away from me Yellow Yoshi, go along with Bowser Jr, you can be caught." said Meta Knight attempting to change the subject, but Yellow Yoshi caught on to his act.
"I'm not going until I know what happened."
Meta Knight was boiling in anger as the Yoshi will not let him go on his own, not realizing that, that is how he calms himself.
"I said to go away!" threatened Meta Knight. Meta Knight withdrew his sword and pointed it at the Yoshi. Yellow Yoshi did not flinch, she somehow expected that.
"Do you worse, I am not going to leave you."
Meta Knight collapsed on the ground and began to, sob? Yellow Yoshi walked over to Meta Knight and patted him.
"I'm so sorry." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Don't be sorry, it was my fault this happened. I nearly threatened your life out of my anger."
"Don't blame yourself."
"I was about to kiss Jigglypuff until something took over me and forced me to run away." blurted Meta Knight.
"What!?!" said Yellow Yoshi shocked and confused.
"I guess I did loved her, but something is not allowing me." said Meta Knight.
"You should go back to the party, I'm sure she'll forgive you, but I guess you won't be able to lock lips with each other until you get over that instinct." said Yellow Yoshi almost mockingly.
Meta Knight nodded his head and walked towards the Smash Mansion. He felt better now that he talked about it to someone. Meta Knight walked in more confidently and found Jigglypuff, still flabbergasted.
"I'm sorry Jigglypuff, I didn't knew what happened. It just came over me." said Meta Knight.
Jigglypuff quickly shook herself out of her trance and looked at Meta Knight.
"I guess we weren't meant to be." said Jigglypuff disappointed.
"Can we still dance?" asked Meta Knight.
"Of course."
--
Yellow Yoshi was pacing around the court yard outside of the mansion, thinking why did Meta Knight ran away.
"Why did he ran away from that kiss? He said that he wanted to kiss her, but the next second, he ran away." though Yellow Yoshi.
"Well, if it isn't Yellow Yoshi." said a strangely familiar voice. Yellow Yoshi quickly turned around and saw that is was Diddy Kong!
"W-what are y-you doing here?" stuttered Yellow Yoshi.
"I saw you chase after Meta Knight, does he have something to do with you being here. You brother said that he didn't took you this year, but you're here." said Diddy Kong.
Yellow Yoshi was in complete shock. She didn't knew what to say to him. She only stared at Diddy Kong nervously.
"You snuck here, didn't you?"
Yellow Yoshi remained silent.
"I am going to tell your brother." threatened Diddy Kong. "He's going to find out soon enough, better to get it over with."
"He's not going to find out!" yelled Yellow Yoshi.
Diddy Kong grabbed Yellow Yoshi and began to drag her to the Smash Mansion.
"Please don't tell on me!" cried Yellow Yoshi. Tears began to form in her eyes, but Diddy Kong paid no attention.
"You brother cares about you, if something happens to you here, he is gonna go crazy when he gets home."
"Since when did you start caring about what my brother thinks. I came here by accident, he is not going to understand!"
"Maybe he will, you'll never know until you tell him!"
"Let go of me!" yelled Yellow Yoshi.
Suddenly, Bowser Jr jumped in front of Diddy Kong and took out his magic pant brush from his shell.
"Let go of her!" threatened Bowser Jr.
"I bet it was you, who was up to this. You must be working on some evil plot that includes black mailing Green Yoshi!" exclaimed Diddy Kong.
"That's not a bad idea, but all I care is getting my friend home safely, so you better let go of her or I will beat you up!"
"You can't beat me, I'm a brawler."
"I'll show you!"
"That enough!" yelled Meta Knight.
"What are you doing here?" asked Yellow Yoshi in surprise.
"Who are these two?" asked Jigglypuff, who followed Meta Knight.
"All will be explained later, if you dare tell anyone else about this, you are going to pay dearly. I have the right to brawl you right now." threatened Meta Knight.
"You are hiding them, but why?" asked Diddy Kong.
"As I said, I will explain everything later. I know you care about Yellow Yoshi, but she is fine. This town is very safe." reassured Meta Knight.
"I trust you Meta Knight, but I don't trust him!" said Diddy Kong pointing to Bowser Jr.
"Do not worry about him, he is suffering the same fate as the Yoshi. He has to keep himself away from his father. I beg of you to keep this a secret, you too Jigglypuff."
Jigglypuff and Diddy Kong nodded their heads.
"Lucario, Sword, and Blade also know of their existence, so do not be surprised if you ever seem these kids talking to them." added Meta Knight.
The party was finally over. Blade, Sword, Bowser Jr, and Yellow Yoshi returned to their hotel room and went straight to their beds.
Bowser Jr feel asleep to the singing by the voice of an angel.
"If Yellow Yoshi sings, let alone talk like this, maybe I would listen to her more often." mumbled Bowser Jr before he fell into slumber.
______________________________________________________________________________
Yes, more angst.
I love suspense.
Now the questions remained:
Why did Meta Knight ran away?
Why Diddy Kong wanted to tell on Yellow Yoshi?
Is Meta Knight's sayings foreshadows on what is going to happen to Bowser Jr?
Did you expect romance to just blossom?
One reason why I love romance. I just love the suspense and the fluff! J
I also like friendship and how it develops.
I want to say there will be a quick update, but my weekend is stupid.
I will definitely update on Monday. No School! Rock out loud!
Hope you enjoyed it.
I stayed up to 2: 00 a.m writing this. (I didn't want to go to sleep because I was so engaged in writing.)
