Super Smash Bros Adventures chapter 29
A few days has passed since Mario saved Peach from Princess Shroob and Elder Princess Shroob. It's been a hard day since not only because of the return of his past enemies, but almost losing one of the most important person in his life. As things started to ease, everything was back to normal.
Mario and Luigi are finishing up a mission by saving a lot of kids from thieves by starting their attack with their Swing Bros attack. Mario grabs Luigi's arms, spins him around like a tornado, and throws him like a torpedo, hitting a Thief on the stomach with his Green Missile attack, sending him flying and knocking down multiple thieves at once. A Thief attacks Luigi from behind, but Mario charges in and Punches him in face, knocking him out. The rest of the thieves got scared and started to run away. Mario and Luigi got in position for their Fire Bros combination attack. Mario throws a barrage of Fireballs into the air, combining them into one giant Fireball. Luigi hits the Giant Fireball with a hit from his Hammer, sending it flying towards the Thieves and hitting them all at once. The Thieves were all defeated and Mario and Luigi won the battle.
"Yahoo!" Mario and Luigi say together, as they high-five each other.
The kids that were taken all run to them and thank them for saving them.
"Thank you so much!"
"We thought we won't ever go home."
"Will you take us home now?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't we?" Mario says.
"How about you teach us those moves you just did? So next time something bad happens, we'll be ready to fight!"
"Ahh… when you get older we'll teach you. Took us some time to practice these moves." Luigi says.
"We shouldn't be even teaching them at all." Mario thinks to himself.
…
After completing their mission, Mario and Luigi return back to the Smash Mansion.
"What a good mission." Mario says.
"The kids were actually attempting to do one of our special moves. Luckily their parents stopped them." Luigi says.
Mario laughs. "Kind of wish to see how it went."
"It's been a while since we did our Bros Attacks. We should do them again." Luigi says.
"Maybe even do them when there's a doubles tournament. We can surprise
a lot of Smashers." Mario suggests.
"Great idea! We should even think some new ones. The last time we made new ones when we were with your Paper version of yourself." Luigi reminds.
"Oh yeah… Wonder what he's up to." Mario wonders.
"Also I remembered I got kissed by both our Peach and the Paper version of her." Luigi mentioned with a grin.
"No need to rub it in." Mario says, crossing his arms.
Luigi laughs. "No need to be jealous. By the way… How you feeling after seeing Prince Haru the first time?"
"He seems like a really nice person. We were talking about the things he does, our adventures of saving Peach, and things we enjoyed doing. We even talked about things they did together and how they met. I'm actually glad to know more about him." Mario says.
"That's good to hear. I also thought he's a really good person. We were talking about our favorite cakes that Peach bakes." Luigi says.
"That's funny. Wish that I was there for that conversation." Mario says.
"You know… Lyn must've helped you a lot when you were all gloomy." Luigi says.
"She has and I won't ever forget it. I want to do something nice for her, but don't have any ideas." Mario says.
"Hmm… How about asking her out?" Luigi suggests.
Mario got surprised after hearing that. "Ask her out? You mean like a date?"
"What?! No, not a date. I meant like hanging out in Smash City as friends. You know… walking around together, going shopping, getting food together… Stuff like that." Luigi explains.
"Sounds like a date to me." Mario says.
"Well it's not. It's just going to be two friends hanging out with each other and that's it. Do you have a better idea on what you should do for her?" Luigi asks.
"Uhh… no." Mario replies.
"Then there you go. Just go with her to Smash City and get what she likes. Simple." Luigi says.
"I guess you're right. Shouldn't hurt to take her out and get her something. Thanks for the tip, Bro." Mario thanked.
"That's what brothers are for." Luigi says, patting him on the back. "I'll see you later, Bro."
"Yeah. See you next time." Mario says.
Mario looks around the Smash Mansion for Lyn. He looked in the Cafeteria, Ball Room, Library, and the Smash Room, but couldn't find her. Last place he checked was in the Training Room and luckily he found her training against a Sandbag.
Mario goes inside the training room. "Hey Lyn, are yo-" The Sandbag was sent flying towards his direction and hits him in the face, knocking him down to the ground face first.
Lyn gasps and quickly rushes to Mario. "Oh my gods, Mario!"
Mario takes the Sandbag off of his back and gets back up on his feet. "That was a surprise. You must be training hard."
"Oh thank Mother Earth and Father Sky. I didn't know that you were coming. Sorry about that." Lyn apologizes.
"It's ok, it's ok. Just wondering… do you want to go to Smash City with me? We can hangout and grab something to eat." Mario asks.
"Oh sure! I was actually thinking of taking a break from all this training. Getting kind of hungry too." Lyn replies.
"Great! Here, let me help you clean up." Mario says.
After the two clean up, Mario and Lyn head to Smash City.
…
The two Smashers arrived and walk around together. Smash City seems to be a lot livelier with all the people out shopping, eating, or just hanging out.
"Ok, everything is going as planned. Now to figure out what to get her and thank her again for always being there for me." Mario thinks to himself.
"Mario? Mario, are you listening?" Lyn asks.
"Oh what? Sorry, I didn't hear you." Mario replies.
"Is there anything you need to buy?" Lyn asks.
"Not really. What about you?" Mario asks.
"Well there's something I want to buy at Smash Mart. We can go there first before we grab something to eat." Lyn says.
"Of course! Lead the way." Mario says.
The two Smashers arrived at the Smash Market. They go to the hair accessories aisle, Lyn got the hair ties she wanted, and head to check out. As Lyn is about to pay, Mario quickly takes out some Smash Coins.
"Don't worry, I got this." Mario says, paying for Lyn's hair ties.
"Oh… Thank you for paying for me, Mario." Lyn thanked.
"All right! I got her something! But… is this really enough for her?" Mario thinks to himself.
The Smashers leave Smash Mart and walk around to figure out what to eat.
"What do you feel like eating?" Mario asks.
Lyn looks at the food places and found one that caught her eye. "Let's go to that place."
Mario looks and sees a Crepe stand not too far from them. "That looks delicious. Sure let's go."
Mario and Lyn walks up to the Crepe stand and look at the menu.
"Do you know what's a crepe?" Lyn asks.
"I describe it as a really thin pancake where it's filled up with fruits or sweets like chocolate. Think of it like a sandwich, but sweeter." Mario explains.
"Sounds delicious. I'll try the white chocolate crème crepe with banana and mango." Lyn orders.
"And I'll get the chocolate delight with strawberry and blueberries." Mario orders.
The Worker takes their order and start making their crepes. Mario and Lyn watches from the side and stare with awe at how the crepes are being made on the griddle, then filling up with the ingredients of each crepe they ordered.
"All ready. Is this paid separately or together?"
"Separ-" Lyn got interrupted.
"Together." Mario answers quickly.
The Worker tells the price of the crepes and Mario gives some Smash Coins to him. They left the crepe store and enjoy their delicious treat.
"Look at this beauty!" Lyn surprisingly says.
"Now you need to try it and see if you like it." Mario says.
The two Smashers take a bite of their crepes and were really enjoying their dessert.
"This is great! How's yours, Lyn?" Mario asks.
"It's delicious! Never thought I would experience something so good." Lyn answered.
"Knew you would say that from the reaction of your face." Mario says.
"Oh really? Now I feel embarrassed." Lyn says, slightly blushing.
"No need. I always act like that when I eat something delicious. Want a piece of mine?" Mario asks.
"Sure." Lyn replies.
Mario takes a piece off of his crepe and gives it Lyn. Lyn eats Mario's piece of crepe and enjoys it.
"Yours is really good too. Here, try some of mine." Lyn says, taking piece of crepe off.
"No it's ok. I'm actually getting kind of full with mine." Mario says.
"You sure? I think I should at least give you a taste of mine." Lyn asks.
"Don't worry about it. Just enjoy your crepe." Mario says, as he continues eating his.
Lyn continues eating and started thinking to herself, why Mario is being nice to her all of a sudden.
As the two Smashers finished eating their crepes, Lyn wants to stop by a store before they leave.
"Mario, would it be ok if we stop by one more place?" Lyn asks.
"Sure! You need to buy something?" Mario asks.
"Yeah, it'll be really quick." Lyn replies.
Mario and Lyn stopped by a clothes store for their last stop. Lyn was looking at some earrings that are shaped like three golden swords on each one.
"Wow, look at them. They look cool." Mario says.
"I always wanted to get these for a while now." Lyn says.
"They're one hundred and fifty Smash Coins for earrings. That's a lot of money." Mario says.
"Luckily I have enough to… wait." Lyn looks at how much Smash Coins she have in her purse and was short by fifty coins. "Shoot! I'm low on coins."
"How much do you have?" Mario asks.
"A hundred coins. Just needed fifty and I'll be able to get them." Lyn replies
"Maybe I can help." Mario offers.
"No it's ok. You already paid for my hair ties and the crepes. I'll get them next time when I get more money. Thanks for for the offer though." Lyn says.
The two leaves the store and head back home. Mario thought to himself that the ties and crepes aren't enough to thank her, so he decided to get the earrings no matter what.
"Guess that's it. Ready to head back home?" Lyn asks.
"Uhh… Actually, I need to go check something for Luigi right quick. Would it be ok if you stay here?" Mario asks.
"Go right on ahead. I'm in no rush." Lyn replies.
"Thank you. I'll be gone only for a few minutes." Mario says.
Mario arrived back at the clothing store they were at and bought the earrings that Lyn wanted. The Worker there placed it in a nice looking box and gives it to him.
"Here you are, sir."
"Thank you so much." Mario happily thanked.
"Those earrings, are they for the pretty lady from earlier?"
"Lyn? Yeah, they're for her. I want to get these for her for being a great friend." Mario explains.
"Oh? I thought you two are actually dating."
"Dating? Oh no, we're just friends. Nothing more." Mario explains.
"Is that so. You and her reminded me of me and my husband when we were young. I hope that she likes the gift."
"She will. Have a nice day." Mario says
Mario puts the earrings in his pockets and returns back to Lyn.
"That was quick." Lyn surprisingly says.
"Yeah, the store didn't have what my brother was looking for. Ready to head back?" Mario asks.
"Sure. Let's go home." Lyn replies.
…
The two Smashers arrived back at the Smash Mansion and can't get over how good the crepes were.
"The taste of the crepe I had is still on my tongue." Mario says.
"Me too. The crepes we got were amazing. Let's go back again next time." Lyn suggests.
"Of course! We should take some other Smashers to that place also. They would love it!" Mario says.
"You know… You're being really nice to me today." Lyn points out.
"Have I not always be nice to you?" Mario wonders.
"What I mean is you paid for my hair ties and treated me for a delicious crepe. You even offered to help pay the earrings I wanted, which made me really happy. I feel like there's a reason you're doing all this for me." Lyn replies.
"Oh that… I just want to… You know… Mario sighs and takes out a little box out of his pocket. "Here."
Lyn takes the small box from Mario. "What's this?"
"Open it up and see for yourself." Mario says.
Lyn opens up the little box and gasps as she sees the earrings she wanted to buy earlier. "Mario… You got the earrings for me."
Mario giggles. "Surprised?"
"Very! Why did you do this for me?" Lyn asks.
"Well… Since the day when I saved Peach from the Shroobs and Prince Haru came to visit, you really helped me out during that time. Since then, I've been thinking of what I should do to make it up to you. So Luigi helped me out by telling me to go to Smash City with you and get you a nice gift. Think of it as a thank you from me for helping me out." Mario explains.
"Mario, I helped you out because I care about you as a good friend of mine. You didn't have to do all these nice things for me. I can pay you back for everything you got me." Lyn says.
"No need to pay me back anything. I just wanted to do it because like you said, you're a good friend to me too. And I truly appreciate what you did to help me." Mario lets out a big smile. "Thank you for being a good friend to me, Lyn. I really appreciate it."
Lyn can't help but smile after what Mario said to her. Deep inside she feels a nice warm feeling of kindness coming from a dear friend of hers. "You're welcome, Mario, and thank you for everything today."
From a distance, Link, Pit, Luigi, Fox, and Shulk where watching from up stairs at Mario and Lyn.
"Well this is a nice scene we have here." Fox says.
"It's good to start up small and grow later on." Link says.
"Hey Shulk, can you use your future sight to see what it's like for them in the future?" Pit asks.
"No thank you. I rather just wait and not spoil it for all of us." Shulk says.
"Mario looks so happy when she's with Lyn. It almost made me want to cry." Luigi says, wiping off a tear.
Mario and Lyn say their goodbyes and went their separate ways. As Mario went upstairs he sees Luigi and rest gathered together.
"Hey guys. What you guys up to?" Mario asks.
"Umm… Nothing… just standing." Fox replies.
"Standing?" Mario wonders.
"Yeah! It's not like we're watching over you and Lyn after your date or anything." Pit says.
"Uhh…. What?" Mario asks with a confuse look.
"Pit!" Shulk cried.
Pit realized what he just said and covered his mouth. "I mean, we were just over hearing your conversation!"
Link sigh in disappointment. "Pit… you and your big mouth…"
"Sorry bro. We just wanted to see how it went with you and Lyn that's all." Luigi apologizes.
"No need to apologize. It was a great day since we got to spend time with each other. And I did something nice for her after what she'd did for me. So everything went well." Mario says.
"That's good to hear, mate." Shulk says.
"Glad everything went well between you two." Fox says.
"So does that make any progress with your relationship romantically?" Pit asks.
"Pit!" The Smashers yelled at him.
Mario looks at the Smashers and lets out a laugh as the rest join him.
Later at night...
Lyn is preparing to go to bed as Corrin and Bayonetta arrived in the room.
"There you are, Lyn." Corrin greeted.
"We've been looking all over for you." Bayonetta says.
"Oh really? Did you two go somewhere?" Lyn asks.
"Just went to go on a mission with Peach, Zelda, and Samus." Corrin says, changing into her pajamas.
"We thought you wanted to join us, but it seems you were busy." Bayonetta says, changing into her pajamas.
"I was busy training and then went to Smash City with Mario." Lyn says.
"So that's where you went." Corrin says.
"Those earrings look beautiful on you. Really fits your style." Bayonetta compliments.
"Thank you. Mario actually bought these for me." Lyn says.
Corrin and Bayonetta were surprised what Lyn said. They didn't expect somebody to give her something since Lyn's not looking for a relationship right now.
"How kind of him. You two seem close." Corrin says.
"Mario is a really special friend to me. Always so kind, friendly, brave, he's somebody I really respect. Earlier today I was supposed to buy these earring with my own money, but I didn't have enough Smash Coins. But he surprised me by buying them for me when he told me he wanted to check on something for Luigi. Instead, he surprised me with the earrings which made me really happy. I'll have to repay his kindness when I get the chance." Lyn says.
"Aww, how adorable. If you want to pay him back, how about giving him a huh?" Corrin suggests.
"A hug? Not sure if that'll be enough." Lyn says.
"How about a kiss on a cheek?" Bayonetta suggests.
Lyn's face turns bright red. "A kiss?! No way!"
"Why not? His Princess Peach always gives him a kiss on the cheek every time he saves her." Bayonetta says.
"But... I don't feel comfortable with doing something like that." Lyn says.
"Fine, how about making a cake with Peach? Mario loves Princess Peach's cakes." Corrin says.
"That I can do. Great idea, Corrin." Lyn says.
"Still... I think giving him a kiss on the cheek is a better gift." Corrin admits.
"Sorry, but the cake is something I'll be fine with. End of story." Lyn says.
"That's no fun. Would be cute if you do that one day." Bayonetta says.
"I'm going to bed now and forget all of this." Lyn says, marching to bed.
"Good night." Corrin says.
"Sweet dreams." Bayonetta says.
As Lyn about to sleep, she puts away her earrings and smiles at them as they're a really valuable gift to her from Mario.
