Chapter 21: Unusual Romance
Yellow Yoshi and her brother were taking a stroll through the town. Normally, she would be close to her brother, but because of her curse, she walked meters away from him. Occasionally, her brother would turn his head and just by the look of his face, Yellow Yoshi was signaled to hurry up, even though in reality, that was not the case.
The sky was turning dark, yet the street grew busier, that is because people are waiting for her brother to brawl tonight.
"Where are we going?" asked Yellow Yoshi.
Her voice was barely heard through the growing crowd, yet there was something different about her voice. It was more soothing than her "real" voice.
All heads turned towards the Yoshi. "Was that the little Yoshi who said that!" gasped a woman.
The woman grabbed the Yoshi and began to strangle her and shrieked, "was that you who said that!"
"You are such an adorable creature with the cutest little voice!" exclaimed the woman.
"Can you please let go of me." said Yellow Yoshi in her horrible voice.
"Ewww, it was only my imagination, how can such a cute little Yoshi have such an ugly voice!" said the woman as she dropped Yellow Yoshi on the ground.
"If I ever had more money, I would pay to get your voice box altered!" exclaimed Green Yoshi.
"I'm sorry brother, it's hurts my throat when I have to talk like this. When can I not hide my real voice?" asked Yellow Yoshi.
"Never, even back home you attract too many attention. I'm sorry if it hurts, just try to avoid talking. I though you'll get used to it by now." said Green Yoshi.
"That's not fair, what's wrong with attention?"
"There's nothing wrong with attention, it's just the type of attention you get. Do you know how angry I was when Red Yoshi flirted with you!"
"He wasn't flirting with me! He was talking to me. That could have been my first friend until you butt in and thought that he was flirting with me!"
"Did you not see those lustful eyes!"
"Goodness, he naturally has red eyes!"
"That's not what I mean!
"You are so paranoid Brother!"
"I don't care what you say, when I win my brawl, I will use the money to get you a surgery!"
"What! Only because that lady strangled me!" exclaimed Yellow Yoshi.
"More than that! You'll be attracting the wrong attention! You are going to get your voice removed."
Yellow Yoshi froze from shock. She is going to lose her precious voice. She collapsed on the ground and began to cry in her real voice. Her brother came to Yellow Yoshi and slapped her.
Her eyes glowed fierce red. It doesn't matter how someone is touched, the urge to kill will wander in her mind. Yet, her urge was overshadowed by her sadness. Her brother only waited for her to stop crying.
Yellow Yoshi wiped her tears and continued her stroll, away from her brother. They were silent during the rest of the way.
"Hey Green Yoshi!" hollered Falco from across the street, "who are you up against!"
"It's a surprise match! All of the smashers have to report!" hollered Green Yoshi across the street.
"This is going to be interesting." murmured Falco.
"C'mon sis, we're going to the stadium." said Green Yoshi.
--
The stadium was already crowded with people even though the match does not start in about an hour. The people were actually awaiting to hear Green Yoshi's opponent, which will soon be announced. Yellow Yoshi and her brother were in the waiting room, which is right next to the ground level entrance to the stage. Yellow Yoshi sat isolated from the smashers as her brother was conversing with Mario and Luigi.
"Remember, this is a chance to win 500,000 dollars!" exclaimed Master Hand.
"That's not fair! Green Yoshi gets much higher chance of getting the prize because his opponent is random!" complained Bowser.
"But what if it was you who was chosen?" said Master Hand.
"Then of I'll-"
"There you have it! You can't expect Green Yoshi to win!"
"Are you calling me a loser!" exclaimed Green Yoshi.
"No, I'm just say that-"
"Green Yoshi is getting an easy opponent!" interrupted Bowser.
Master Hand gave up trying to explain. Maybe next time, both the smasher will be chosen randomly.
"Master Hand and Crazy Hand, it's time to take the stage!" said a random guy.
Crazy Hand rushed out of the door and grabbed the whole stadium and began to fly away.
"Not like that Crazy Hand!" exclaimed Master Hand.
Crazy Hand returned the stadium back to its rightful position.
"Now my audience, look at the screen and you will see the image of Green Yoshi's next opponent." announced Master Hand.
"There's a large screen?" wondered the slow Koopa King.
All faces turned towards the large screen. The screen rapidly scrolled through pictures of smashers, randomly determining the next opponent. The arena became eerily quiet when the opponent is finally revealed, Meta Knight. Everyone's jaw dropped, including Green Yoshi himself.
Meta Knight walked out to the arena, eager to fight Green Yoshi. At first Green Yoshi was nervous, but he quickly became confident when he entered the stage.
"This will be a 10 minute brawl, are you ready?" announced Master Hand.
Both smashers nodded their heads.
"Fight!" screamed Crazy Hand.
"That was my line." muttered Master Hand who floated off the stage disappointedly.
Already, Meta Knight began his first strike by using his drill rush. Green Yoshi anticipated the attack and dodged. What Green Yoshi didn't anticipate was that Meta Knight used his dimensional cape to attack Yoshi from nowhere. Green Yoshi quickly recovered and grabbed a warp star and struck Meta Knight. Meta Knight survived the blow. Green Yoshi rolled in his egg at top speed towards Meta Knight. Meta Knight flew in the air and Green Yoshi popped out of his egg. Green Yoshi jumped above Meta Knight and ground pounded Meta Knight before Meta Knight had time to react.
Meta Knight flew out of the ring, but he quickly recovered and flew back in the ring only to be greeted by a charged super scope. Meta Knight flew off the ring and smacked into the shield that protects the crowd. [In this Brawl Match, the one to fall off the ring first loses.] Meta Knight flew back in to the ring and used his mach tornado to strike Green Yoshi.
The rest of the fight, Meta Knight was slashing with his sword as Green Yoshi dodged most of the strike. The timer on the screen showed that there was 2 minutes left in the fight. Green Yoshi was in better shape then Meta Knight, so there was a small chance of getting a knockout. It's not easy trying to defeat a Super Smash Bros Veteran, but Meta Knight have more heart and is determined to win despite the chances.
"No, my brother is going to win!" cried out Yellow Yoshi who was watching the fight through the door, instead of the large television provided.
"Why don't you want your brother to win?" asked Mario. "I though you would go for your brother, because he is your brother."
"Because if my brother win he is going to get my voice box removed if he wins." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Oh are you serious!" laughed Mario. "Oh my god, Green Yoshi is so hilarious, I'm sure he's only kidding."
"I hope he's serious, he's actually doing her a favor by getting her out of her own misery of her horrible voice." said Bowser.
Yellow Yoshi quickly realized how desperate the situation has become. Her brother is actually beating Meta Knight. Yellow Yoshi stuck her head out of the door and screamed in her real voice.
"Meta Knight, You can do it!"
All of the smashers were mesmerized, by her real voice.
"What the hell! My ears are betraying me!" exclaimed Bowser. "The Yoshi did not just sound like an angel in distress!"
Yellow Yoshi turned around, she has quite an explaining to do.
The fight became more intense as Meta Knight just got a smash ball and successfully struck Green Yoshi, but it wasn't enough for a knockout.
The timer was running to 30 seconds. Meta Knight spotted a smart bomb. He stood in front of the bomb, awaiting for Green Yoshi to arrive. Green Yoshi took the bait and Meta Knight hit the bomb. Both smasher were enveloped by a wave of explosion and both smashers were knocked out of the arena at the exact same time.
"It appears that we have a tie, you know what this means!" exclaimed Master Hand.
"Sudden Death!" said Crazy Hand as if it was actually a death match.
Two alloys dragged Meta Knight and Green Yoshi back to the stage. Green Yoshi and Meta Knight only stared at each other as they were too weak to actually brawl, but the weakness did not stop Meta Knight.
Meta Knight ran up to Green Yoshi and used his drill rush to deal some damage. Green Yoshi rolled in his egg to strike Meta Knight but Meta Knight easily dodged. Green Yoshi rolled in his egg again, but Meta Knight charged his attack and slashed Green Yoshi with full strength. Green Yoshi was knocked out of the arena.
A burst of cheers arose from the audience.
"That was awesome!" cried out a little boy from the crowd.
"How could I lose?" muttered Green Yoshi as he dragged himself back to the waiting room.
"Green Yoshi." called Mario. "Why do you want to remove your sister's voice?"
Green Yoshi dragged Mario away from Yellow Yoshi and whispered, "I'm just trying to scare her into not disobeying me. Would you really think I would do such a thing?"
"And he slapped me in public!" exclaimed Yellow Yoshi.
"Poor little Yoshi!" exclaimed Zelda. She rushed over to Yellow Yoshi in an attempt to hug her, but Yellow Yoshi dodged.
"I'm sorry, I don't like hugs." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Oh! Why did you made your sister anti-social!?" yelled Zelda.
"That have nothing to do with me!" exclaimed Green Yoshi.
"On the contrary, since you are her guardian, she learns from you." interrupted FLUDD.
"Who let you in to this conversation!" yelled Green Yoshi.
Zelda glared at Green Yoshi.
"If you ever abuse your sister, I will get the highest authority to act upon this horrific act!" exclaimed Zelda.
"What the heck can Princess Peach do." muttered Green Yoshi. "Where is she anyways?"
"GREEN YOSHI!" roared Princess Peach. "How can you be so abusive to your little sister!"
"You don't understand!" exclaimed Green Yoshi.
As Green Yoshi was having his argument with Peach and Zelda, Yellow Yoshi took the opportunity to sneak out of the stadium, but little does she know that she is being followed.
As soon as she spotted the hotel lights through the darkness, she ran towards it.
"Where are you going?" asked a strange, yet familiar voice.
"Meta Knight! Were you following me!?" exclaimed Yellow Yoshi.
"No, I was just going to the hotel to check on Sword, Blade, and Bowser Jr. until I spotted you."
"I just want to check on Bowser Jr., you know what I do every night." said Yellow Yoshi. "But this may be the last time I can visit him because, my brother is going to get stricter. I wish I can just get away from him."
"Don't say that, he only wants what's best for you…in a strange way." said Meta Knight.
"I have no freedom whatsoever. Why is he so dang overprotective!"
"I have heard because he knows that you are a pure heart, so he wants to protect you, do you know how desperate the villains are to grab a pure heart. Knightmare was willing to start a whole war just to get me."
"I just wish I can do whatever I want, I just want to be happy."
Yellow Yoshi jumped from balcony to balcony to reach Bowser Jr.'s room. She opened the door and looked at the sleeping koopa. Meta Knight stood outside on the balcony, watching the crowd exit the stadium and within the crowd was Jigglypuff.
Yellow began to sing the lullaby that she sings to Bowser Jr every night. Meta Knight was humming the tune as the Yoshi sang as if he wanted to sing to Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff already entered the smash mansion.
Yellow Yoshi turned around and smiled at Meta Knight.
"We should make a duet sometime." teased Yellow Yoshi.
She walked closer to Bowser Jr., but immediately stopped. She can't get any closer to him.
"Jr., I have to leave you." admitted Yellow Yoshi.
"Why." muttered Bowser Jr., he was too sleepy to actually get up.
"Do you know who I am?"
"No."
"Guess."
"I don't know, I don't know anyone with the same voice as you."
"Open your eyes."
"I'm too sleepy."
"Are you sure? This is your only chance."
"But, don't you come every night."
"That's the problem, I can't see you anymore, I can't get near you anymore, I can't even think about you because of the urge I will have."
"Open your eyes Bowser Jr.! You had an opportunity to see who I was everyday, please don't fall asleep on me." exclaimed the Yoshi in her true voice.
Suddenly, Meta Knight poured a bucket of water on Bowser Jr.
"What was that for!" roared Bowser Jr.
"Uh, thanks." hesitated Yellow Yoshi.
"Yellow Yoshi! What are you doing here! Did you see someone else come here?" asked Bowser Jr.
She forced herself to come near Bowser Jr. and whispered in his ear. "I am the one."
Bowser Jr slammed his face on the pillow.
"How could I be stupid enough to realize that!" exclaimed Bowser Jr. "But, you sound different! Maybe your possessed!"
"No I'm not! This is how I really sound, I just hide my voice by making it crack."
"I'm confused. Why are you telling me this today?"
"I said it already, I can't see you anymore!"
"Can't you sneak here like you're doing know."
"It wasn't easy sneaking from my brother. Do you know how protective he is? And guess what? This may be the last time I can see you! When I get home, I will be imprisoned by my stupid brother!"
"I know that guy is crazy, but he's not that crazy." said Bowser Jr.
"Well he is!"
"What is up with him!" exclaimed Bowser Jr. "Your brother is usually much nicer."
"He changed so much, ever since I was cursed or maybe because I came during his only time that he doesn't have to worry about me. Anyways, I can't see you anymore." said Yellow Yoshi.
"Fine then! I didn't even wanted to see you!" exclaimed Bowser Jr., "Get out of my room!"
Tears began to form in her eyes as she jumped off the balcony. Meta Knight followed silently. Bowser Jr. shoved his face in the pillow and began to weep.
--
Meta Knight and Jigglypuff were at the diner, searching for breakfast on the menu. The diner was very busy today, because many tourist were too cheap to cook at their hotel room. Somehow, this could be called their first date [really, at date at a breakfast diner!?!]
"What do you want to do after this?" asked Jigglypuff.
Meta Knight remained silent.
"Are you listening to me?" asked Jigglypuff.
"I'm sorry Jigglypuff, I was wondering if I should get the omelet or the pancakes." said Meta Knight.
"Hey look! The two puffballs are out on a date!" exclaimed Bowser as he entered the diner with the group of villain smashers.
"Meta Knight and Jigglypuff sitting on a tree, K-I-S-," said Bower until he was cut off by Ganondorf.
"Bowser, do you know how much you are embarrassing me, you shouldn't even be talking, we don't have a girl ourselves! The only girl we like ditched us for a plumber and a rancher!"
"No, Peach digs me." said Bowser.
"What are you talking about? She hates you! C'mon! Ya'll are different species!" exclaimed Ganondorf.
"Different species!" echoed Ganondorf.
"Okay, let's just have our breakfast." said Bowser.
Once Meta Knight and Jigglypuff finished with their plate, they exited the diner.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Jigglypuff again.
"Shall we go to the park." said Meta Knight.
"Great idea!" exclaimed Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff grabbed Meta Knight's hand and ran to the park at top speed. They zipped through Yellow Yoshi and her brother.
"Hi Meta Knight!" greeted Yellow Yoshi, but Meta Knight already disappeared.
Jigglypuff dragged Meta Knight to the small meadow. The same place where Meta Knight was so close to Jigglypuff, and the same place where Yellow Yoshi was "murdered."
They sat together at the small stream and watched the little fishes zip by. The sun shone on the river, giving it a translucent look. Jigglypuff leaned on Meta Knight as Meta Knight wrapped his arms around her.
"Wow, this is such a blessing, here I though that you would be cursed forever, but I guess love always find a way." said Jigglypuff.
"I never though that I would fall in love with someone in my life, that is until I met you. I love you." said Meta Knight
"I love you too, there are just so many reasons to like you, you are so nice and caring, especially when you agreed to help Bowser Jr. and Yellow Yoshi. I also love the way you talk. You talk so calmly even in desperate situation. It's like your voice can bring hope. How are you so calm all the time?"
"That is how I am."
"No, it is because you are a pure heart. Master Hand told me. Meta Knight, he said that you are the only hope for defeating the great villain."
"Indeed."
Jigglypuff began to take off Meta Knight and slowly made contact with their lips until they were interrupted.
"Meta Knight!" exclaimed Bowser Jr.
Meta Knight became quite annoyed and looked at Bowser Jr.
"Sorry to disturb you bud, but Master Hand wants to see you!" exclaimed Bowser Jr.
"Maybe some other time." said Meta Knight to Jigglypuff. "You can come with me if you want."
Jigglypuff and Meta Knight rose from the ground and walked towards the mansion.
… to be continued.

This is not really a cliff hanger, I was just getting too lazy to write. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Expect a quick update!
What a coincidence, both the pure heart have an unusually attractive voice. Yellow Yoshi has that gorgeous high pitch voice, while Meta Knight have his awesome Spanish accent. Not really, his voice is actually calm. If you ever seen Kirby Right Back At Ya, he sounds so calm in every situation. Even when he scold, there is still that calm tone in it.
Hope you enjoyed the story.
As you can, I made an attempt at an action scene. This is my first action scene. I do like action, because I am a tomboy, but don't expect me to write an action if! ;D
I totally stole a quote from on of my reviewer! Hope you don't mind.
