Intermission 11

Wolf

Amidst the usual intermission chatter, Wolf O'Donnell sat in the very back of the auditorium, feet reclined.

"You'll do well to take your feet off of the table," Lucina sternly demanded from below, "It's bad manners,"

"Do you really think Wolf cares about that Lucina?" Robin asked rhetorically, "Ignore him,"

Lucina huffed, "Yes, you're right, I should have known."

Wolf chuckled, "And that's the smartest thing one of you pretty sword people has ever said."

Wolf grinned at the grumbling that received/ Wolf's ears twitched. He was eager to find someone else to annoy.

"Oh man," Lucas asked, "What was that Hyrulian place with the really good battered Cucco?" he asked Ness.

"Oh God, I can't remember the name. Uhhhh…" the boy in the baseball cap pondered.

"Fucking," Wolf spat annoyedly, "Telma's!"

Ness and Lucas both turned to the source of the noise.

"You boys are too young to be forgetting shit like that," chuckled Wolf.

Ness stomped his foot, "Yeah, well I'm surprised you can remember anything after the bender you went on in Smash City last tournament."

"Hey, don't take the fact that they have to keep interrupting your life every three months because your world's the fuckin' boonies."

"The hell does that have to do with anything?" shouted Ness.

"Remember back in the Melee days when there was all that debate about whether to add your Earth to the Galactic Federation? Well here's what I say to that!"

Wolf simply flipped a middle claw to the two boys.

"That measure didn't pass, but thanks for rubbing it in I guess," muttered Ness with as much sarcasm as he could muster

"Glad to see his best tournament performance in years hasn't humbled him any," Lucas muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Why would that humble him?" asked Ness.

Lucas stomped his foot, "I can dream can't I?"

Just as Wolf had begun to chuckle at the annoyance he had caused, a new voice interrupted him.

"You seem glib about all of this," crowed Ridley.

Sure enough, Ridley had scooted into the seat next to his, Dark Samus stood over Ridley, its eerie gaze fixed on Wolf. Despite the attempt at intimidation, Wolf shrugged.

"I either win this or I don't," he stated flatly.

Ridley's gaze snapped from Wolf to Red, who sat near the TV with his Pokemon, "Sounds like a weak man's excuse,"

"You think you can beat these three, especially after the roll they've been on?"

Ridley huffed, "I think you're greatly overestimating them."

Red

"I WANT MCDONALDS!" Squirtle shouted.

Ivysaur grumbled, shaking his head, "Kid, food like that ain't for Pokemon and you know it."

"Maybe for you herbivores," Charizard snorted, "I can eat meat just fine."

"But they have a ball pit!" Squirtle whined, "I wanna play in the ball pit."

Red sighed, "Yo Green! The Kids Corner in White City is baby 'Mon friendly right?"

Green giggled, absent-mindedly throwing the Pokeball containing Cinderace up and down, "Last I checked it is."

"We'll go there when we win," Red nodded.

Green raised an eyebrow, "When?"

Red pointed to Wolf and Ridley, the two scourges of space snickering childishly at each other.

"When," Red repeated.

Suddenly, the bell ending intermission rang.

"Wolf, you're in Tunnel B, Red you're in Tunnel A," announced Marth.

Both nodded, silently making the march toward their fates.
