Roy was on a random cliff, a good distance away from the mansion. There was a slight constant breeze, causing Roy's hair and his headband to flow somewhat dramatically. He took a deep breath, and relaxed. So much had changed since Melee, but on this cliff, he felt at ease. Then, he heard the small sound of footsteps behind him.
Roy wasn't all that surprised when Female Robin took a seat beside him. "Why are you out here?" she asked,"It's too early in the morning!" Roy shrugged, stating, "It makes me feel… serene. Besides, the sunrise is amazing…" Roy was definitely surprised when a Female Robin planted a kiss on his cheek. "Wanted to do that since you arrived," she muttered, blushing.
More footsteps (as well as some yawns) quickly caught the pair's ears. Roy and Female Robin turned around to see Robin, the Original 12, and the other three DLC characters. They all took a seat at the cliff edge, and it surprisingly didn't break. The sunrise was a sight to behold, as Mario stood up, knowing well that the Smashers were starting to wake. "Well," the red plumber began, "Thanksgiving is upon us…"
Once the Smashers were back in the mansion, a majority of the females were in the kitchen. Peach and Rosalina were handling the turkey, the Samuses were toasting the dinner rolls, and everyone else followed with mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc. Captain Falcon let out a whistle, and walked away to the mansion's arena. Luigi also left, leaving the Male Wii Fit Trainer to ask, "What are they doing?" Peach wiped away some forehead sweat before answering, "Falcon's getting the 'entertainment' ready. Luigi's just preparing the screening room."
Lucas, Ness, and Mewtwo were helping Zelda prepare the gigantic Pumpkin Pie. "Sigh..At least there's some sort of Great Pumpkin…" Ness swooned, tossing Mewtwo the 100th Pumpkin to reduce to mush. Lucas was busy flattening out the pie crust and preparing the sugars and spices, while Zelda put the other ingredients together and finished the pie tin. "You can leave now, Mewtwo," thanked Zelda, the psychic Pokémon grateful for escaping Ness' "Great Pumpkin" phase. He hovered away as Zelda mixed the ingredients, Lucas evened out the pie, and Ness began cooking it with PK Fire.
Alph and Olimar were harvesting more of their crop for the Thanksgiving feast. Whether it be corn, wheat, or herbs, the two space explorers (and their Pikmin) dutifully plucked the delectable plants from the Earth. One Pikmin in particular was having a hard time lifting an ear of corn. Why, he actually dropped the corn, and was nearly blown away in the breeze! Luckily, Olimar rescued the Pikmin, and Alph picked up the corn, as the Lime Green Villager muttered,"The dangers of gardening…"
Speaking of the Villagers, they were helping Luigi prepare the decorations for the screening room, with some help from Isabelle. "Oh, Mayors!" she exclaimed,"You've become so independent by coming here!" Villager blushed, as the Yellow and Pink Villagers rolled their eyes. "The foods about to-a come! Finish-a placing the silverware!" Luigi ordered nervously. "YES, SIR!" the Villagers and Isabelle replied simultaneously.
Captain Falcon was racking his brain (or the lack of it) on who to put for the round of entertainment. At first his ideas would sound good, then something in his mind would shoot it down. "Hmmmm…" he muttered hopelessly, knowing he would either come up with an idea, and or fail trying. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Marth slashing the Sandbag around. Randomly, his brain gears began turning, as he wrote down: Roy, Marth, Lucina, Ike...Forget it.
At long last, the feast was complete! Link and Toon Link wasted no time on slicing up the courses into manageable proportions (except in the case of the ahem 'large' characters). "Here we go!" shouted Mario, as he led a small team of Smashers to the screening room, which Luigi made look GORGEOUS on his part. Marth, who was some distance away, was patted on the shoulder, and pulled aside. Peach then waltzed into the middle of the mansion, and shouted,"COME AND GET IT!"
The Earth shook at the might of hundreds of Smashers trampling over one another to get to the screening room. The Smashers who could fly were more at an advantage, as Palutena and her angels effortlessly flew over the mob. Once everyone got to the screening room, tears of joy filled their eyes. The decor was beautiful, and the food looked even better. The Smashers quickly sat down to enjoy turkey, stuffing, ham, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls, etc.
In the middle of the feast, Captain Falcon walked on stage, covered in sweat. "Someone forgot to bring the entertainment…" Peach muttered. Before the hopeless Captain could say a word, a random whipped cream pumpkin pie smashed into his face, knocking off his visor. "AtTaCk!" yelled the culprit, Villager, as he and a small group of Smashers lunged at the so-called "entertainer." The only thing Captain Falcon was thankful for that day was when it was over.
Poor Kirby's stomach was so unprepared for the first Thanksgiving meal, he was completely unprepared for dessert. Sure there was the pumpkin pie, and then there was the sugar cookie platter, there was even Apple Tart for Pete's sake! But no, that wasn't enough; there had to be a 50-layer Strawberry Vanilla-Ice Cream Cake stuffed with Pumpkin and Apple Pie, covered in ice cream, icing, and whipped cream! Everyone's mouth drooled at the sight, but Kirby created an ocean. Within an hour, that ginormous miracle from heaven was simply a memory… and a mound of crumbs & leftovers.
Every Smasher was on the cliff that evening. Some were finishing their leftovers, others were bursting with emotion, and others (coughPitcough) were praying. Who knew a day could end the same way it started. The Smashers looked over the horizon, as the sun settled beneath the line connecting Earth and Sky. Food fell onto the floor (which Pit obviously ate when people weren't looking) as the stars shimmered like diamonds, ending one of the best Thanksgivings the Smash Mansion ever held… and one of the worst the hands would have to clean.
Happy Thanksgiving!- MathewtonSmashBrawler
