Author's Note:
Two reviews I must respond to. First one from gamegamegamegame:
"Wait... why were Fox, Falco, Ryu, and Rool being punished?"
These four were punished for their roles and involvement in Luma's disappearing in episode 19. Hopefully that answers your question.
Now for the second review, from Williambash:
"Absolutely amazing story, I have been reading this for quite some time now and it is awesome, also can you put back together the pitxviridi relationship because I happen to be a pitxviridi shipper, anyway it is a very nice fanfic and I am excited to read the next chapter of the fanfic"
Thank you for the kind words, Williambash, always great to hear some positive reception every now and then. And as for Pit x Viridi, the two will get back together soon, though it will be a gradual process until they're on the same page. I won't let the rest of you Pit x Viridi shippers down, since I know that's one of the best pairings in the Super Smash Bros/Kid Icarus archive.
Episode 21: Dissension
Luigi's wedding is less than a month away. Everyone was near excited for June 3rd, the date of the wedding - everyone except for the groom, Luigi, who's nervous to the bone. Why would the groom of all people be nervous about the wedding he'll be front and center in? Considering the many weddings he has attended, it will be nerve-wracking on Luigi to be a center of attention for once. He hasn't felt this way ever since the famous Year of Luigi, which saw the plumber grow in terms of self-confidence and determination. He grew out of Mario's gigantic shadow, and became his own, and he hasn't looked back since...well, sort of.
"Just finalized the readings, and the order of the ceremony," Chrom informed Luigi, entering the plumber's room. "Only thing left to do is purchase the rings and we're all...set?" Chrom noticed that Luigi was curled up in a fetal position, sucking his thumb. The stress of the wedding was starting to get to him. "Is everything okay, Luigi?" The prince of Yliesse took a seat next to Luigi, but the plumber moved away.
"Wedding's less than a month-a away..." Luigi said depressingly and afraid. "I don't-a think I'm quite ready yet..."
Chrom: Luigi better not cancel the wedding, especially after all the hard work Marth put into it. The guy's done everything for him - got him a wedding cake, sent out wedding invitations, and plenty of other stuff. Everyone has pitched in for the funding of the wedding, from Heihachi Mishima, to Wario. Though Wario was a bit of a pushover, so we kinda raided his savings account and took the money from there. Totally worth it, in my opinion. But the point of the matter is, it would be greatly asinine for Luigi to give up on the wedding, considering how far we have come.
"What's there to not be ready about?" questioned Chrom, hoping to pry an answer or two from Luigi. He's not exactly the most sociable person in the household, but at least he chooses not to be like Ashley and act all anti-social near others. "You got your bride, Daisy, your brother Mario as the best man, and everyone that you know and love - people like Bowser will be in attendance, so less emphasis on the love part - will be watching. Best thing about it is, you'll be forever united with the love of your life in perfect harmony. Is that not the greatest feeling ever?"
"Yes, that's-a great an all...but what if I screw-a things up? What if I mess-a up on the vows?"
"Now now, Luigi, it would be really hard to mess on on the vows; just confess your love to Daisy, and be over with it!"
Chrom's advice did not help Luigi, for the plumber looked down at the cover sheet he was on. He's practically hopeless at this point, nothing can alter his mood, unless...
"Why not have a meeting with all the brawlers?" suggested Chrom, enlightening Luigi somewhat. "That way we can discuss the most important aspects of the wedding, and go over all the roles and that good stuff. Sounds like a good plan?"
"It sure-a does," Luigi smiled, sitting up on his bed. That's the Luigi we all know and love!
With the consent of Master Hand, Mario and Luigi gathered all the brawlers inside the meeting room, so they could discuss the wedding ceremony and plan everything out, so that the wedding date will go smoothly as planned...or hoped, in Luigi's case.
"We're missing a few bodies, aren't we?" Master Hand observed the entire meeting room. "Where is Viridi and Jacky Bryant?"
"Jacky Bryant is putting on the finishing touches for his car," explained Isabelle. "As for Viridi, she's still depressed that she inadvertently ended her relationship with Pit."
"I thought I broke up with her or something like that?" Pit raised an eyebrow. Apparently the angel has no clue that "ending a relationship" and "breaking up with someone" both fit the very same context. That's how dumb the young chap really is. But then again, he's back to the mindset where he never liked Viridi in the first place, meaning that he chooses not to have any romantic connection with the goddess of nature.
Pit: Everywhere I go, people are always asking me the same darn question: why did Viridi and I break up? Funny thing is, I honestly don't remember being in a relationship to begin with, unless I might have brained my damage and memorized my loss...that totally didn't come out right, did it?
"Viridi can remain depressed for all that I care, the whole breakup thing was her doing," stated Master Hand. "Now for the fun stuff...Mario and Luigi would like to discuss with you all about the wedding, which is coming up in a few weeks."
"Boo!" jeered Sonic. "And here I thought we were gonna discuss something far more important, like whether or not chili dogs taste better with ketchup or mustard on top! What a complete waste of my time!"
"Sonic if you don't...you know what, leave the meeting room at once. Your cellphone privileges will also be taken away as your punishment!"
"Jokes on you, Master Hand, I destroyed my phone, in the event I ever lost my privileges!" Either that, or his girlfriend Amy Rose has been texting his nonstop, and would rather destroy his cellphone than getting a new phone number.
"Alright then, I'll just deprive you of your television privileges then, since you want to be difficult."
Sonic folded his arms and exited the meeting room in disgust. He should have known better than to destroy his laptop instead, for he doesn't use it that much (mainly because Amy bought it for him as a birthday gift) and wouldn't mind not being allowed to use it anyway.
"Thank goodness the major distraction has left the room," remarked Master Hand. With Sonic no longer present, the meeting can finally go on as planned, with little to no interruptions. "Mario, Luigi, would you like to take the floor?"
"Yes-a sir!" responded Mario, as he and Luigi came to the forefront of the meeting room. "Great to see everyone - well, mostly everyone - gathered-a here for this highly integral meeting. "I take-a it everybody is feeling well?"
"You got it!" Captain Falcon replied with a resounding thumbs up, on the behalf of the brawlers.
"And Fox, Falco, Ryu, Rool, and-a Bowser have fulfilled their 'punishments'?"
"Yeah, we sure did," replied Falco, on the behalf of the individuals mentioned. "But please don't make us go through that again, okay?" After learning about the five men's escapades in the previous episode, Master Hand devised of a punishment to hand down to them, but he felt that having them stand as statues in the middle of a hallway was punishable enough.
"Excellent! Time to discuss-a the wedding...anyone knows-a what the theme is?"
The brawlers exchanged looks with each other, indicating that they did not know the theme at all. Mario looked inquisitively at Luigi, who didn't know the theme either- in fact, he didn't even pick one out yet!
Luigi: Hardest part about-a planning the wedding is finding the right-a theme. The theme must be jointly agreed by those-a in attendance, for we must value-a the guests' experience. Doctor Who-a theme? Too nerdy. Seattle-a Seahawks theme? Too sportsy. Medieval theme? Might-a work, but only for people like-a Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. Can't say the same-a for the others...
"Why-a not a Mushroom-a Kingdom theme?" suggested Luigi. "We can have-a some mushrooms for decoration, and a giant cake of-a Peach's castle...does that not sound-a like a good theme?"
"It's never been-a done before, at least-a to my knowledge," Mario stroke his chin, musing over Luigi's theme suggestion. The plumber might even re-use the theme for his wedding with Peach - if it ever happens. "What do you think-a of the theme, Master Hand?"
"Hey it's Luigi's wedding, whatever he says we will go forth with," replied Master Hand. The Smash universe creator is honestly indifferent towards wedding themes and such; he just doesn't want the wedding to be a big, whopping screw-up.
"Alright-a then, the Mushroom Kingdom theme-a it is! Now that we have that-a taken care of, it's time-a for the fun stuff...Isabelle, do you have-a the list?"
"Sure do!" Isabelle soon came into the forefront of the room. A very uncomfortable feeling for her, since she once said back in episode 10 that she feels unnerved when all the attention is drawn to her. Externally this feeling isn't shown - not a single drop of sweat to be seen on Isabelle's face - but internally, the feeling presides. "Today I will be going over the roles certain people will have at Luigi's wedding, and who's doing what." At least Isabelle's voice isn't relatively shaky. "Already we have Chrom serving as the officiant, and King Dedede as the photographer."
"Red who on earth are you possibly texting at this moment, Isabelle is speaking!" Master Hand scolded the Pokemon Trainer, who was texting away on his cellphone. He would use his PokeNav, which is technically a cellular device, but that would be impossible - think of the countless Pokemon players that would rather text fellow Pokemon trainers than engaging in exciting Pokemon battles!
"I'm texting Viridi, trying to fill her in on this meeting," responded Red. The Pokemon Trainer received a notification, indicating another sent text message from Viridi. "She wants to know if humans will be attending the wedding, and if so, how many."
"Plenty of humans will be in attendance; what, does she think we're holding the wedding on Mars or something?!"
"To be technically correct, NASA is still trying to send humans to live on Mars, so having the wedding on that planet can happen sometime..." stated Roy.
"...sometime between 2025 and 2030," Samus pointed out. "Freaking ignoramus..." Samus shook her head in disgust, while Roy handed the space bounty hunter a death glare.
Roy: A wedding on a faraway planet like Mars sounds like a great concept in itself. All of us would be wearing cool, awesome space suits, and there will be zero gravity, which means we can float in the air while attending the wedding! What would be even cooler would be having aliens interrupting the ceremony, and taking Daisy away! Then we would engage in a raging battle against these aliens, with us swordsmen slashing our swords... *makes sword sounds while swinging his sword* ...and Samus blasting her gun... *forms his hand into a gun and makes futuristic gun sounds* ...and Luigi comes in and saves the day by unleashing his wicked fire attack on the aliens, and retrieving his woman!...Yeah, this is all my fault for binge watching those sci-fi movies. Might as well give my Netflix account up to Corrin...
Corrin: Contrary to popular belief, Netflix was not invented by humans; instead, this evil online streaming site was brought down from the aliens, who designed Netflix to brainwash the masses. They even invent lousy terms like "Netflix and chill" to demoralize the younger demographics, and make teenagers contract STDs! Why else do you think they cater to younger folks, they're gullible and easily misguided by the wonders of...Is that an alien cockroach I spy on the floor?! Oh, it's just a regular cockroach, only bigger than usual...
"May I have everyone's attention please?" Isabelle yelled at the top of her lungs and garnered the brawlers' attention, which is the last thing she wanted to do. "I will now be going over the roles I have decided for most of you earlier this week. Tails, you'll be the ring bearer, and Viridi shall be the flower girl."
"Ring bearer...it's not because I'm young, is it?" asked the yellow fox. Ring bearers are of a relatively young age (Tails is eight years old), and naming an adult a ring bearer would not only be weird and out of place, but would also break the wedding status quo.
"More or less, but you fit the role just fine! Continuing on...Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario will serve as the groomsmen, with Mario as the best man, and Peach, Zelda, and Rosalina will be the bridesmaids. That should sort everything out."
"Just texted Viridi about her role in the wedding," stated Red. In a matter of seconds, the Pokemon trainer received a text from Viridi. You know, for someone who's supposed to be depressed, Viridi sure can text pretty quickly! "She says she won't do the flower girl gig depending on how many humans are..."
"Enough of this crap about humans, just tell her that if she refuses to show up, I'll give her gardening duties to Olimar!" demanded Master Hand, not wanting to hear anymore about Viridi's xenophobic nature towards humans - despite living with them at the mansion.
"Hope that Viridi is a no-show at the wedding," joked Olimar. He doesn't mind being the mansion gardener, though having the Pikmin live in the gardens does sound like a great idea.
"Quick question: who is going to serve as the bridesman?" asked Ike. "We gotta have somebody walk Daisy down the aisle!"
"Don't worry, we have all of that covered..." Isabelle smiled. Who would the bridesman possibly be?
The bridesman in question was walking up to the front door of the Smash Mansion, grinning profusely. He was carrying a few presents in his arms, and the weight of them all caused his legs to quiver.
The very individual that was carrying these presents will soon serve as the bridesman at the wedding. His name, you may be wondering? Waluigi. This famous/infamous Luigi knockoff knocked on the door twice - the first time to grab someone's attention, the second just for added effect - and Jacky Bryant answered it.
"Hey man, what's up?" the blonde race car driver greeted Waluigi, taking note of the presents. "Need a little help with those presents?"
"Yes, I would greatly appreciate it!" nodded Waluigi. He and Jacky got the presents inside, and laid them out in the foyer, where hopefully no one will tamper with them.
Jacky: Overheard last night that Waluigi will be the bridesman... *bursts into hysteric laughter* Think about that, Luigi's mortal enemy is serving as the bridesman of his woman! Hoo boy, can't wait to see the fireworks that's gonna result from that!
"Ah, feels great to back here again!" Waluigi exclaimed after inhaling the luscious air in the mansion, though it wasn't that luscious to begin with. "Certainly the others don't mind me making my glorious return..."
"Waluigi is the bridesman?!" Diddy Kong exclaimed in utter disgust. "Looks like the wedding is officially screwed..."
"Let's boycott the wedding until Waluigi is removed!" suggested Popo. Some of the other brawlers nodded their heads in agreement, for they cannot stand to have Waluigi be a part of anything at the wedding ceremony - even if he was a lanky ring bearer.
"I agree! Boycott the wedding! Boycott the wedding!" the male Inkling chanted. Soon enough, mostly everyone else was chanting the Inkling's chant simultaneously.
"Everyone settle down!" Mario yelled at the top of his lungs. Peace and solace found its way back inside the meeting room again. "We are not-a removing Waluigi. However, in the event Waluigi does-a something that might get him-a banned from the wedding - and that's a huge-a given - we'll need some-a one as a 'backup bridesman', and I know one particular person who can-a fulfill the job...Doc Louis?"
"I ain't doin' it," the boxing trainer shook his head while munching away on a chocolate bar. Chocolate is perhaps the only thing that man is capable of eating, anything else he's probably allergic to.
"C'mon Doc, it's a once-a in a lifetime opportunity..."
"Still ain't doing it..." Doc Louis started to tense up, and surrounding brawlers, including Little Mac, were getting very cautious...
"I'll throw-a in some cash if you're-a willing to..."
"FOR THE LAST TIME, I SAID I'M NOT GONNA DO IT! You already got your bridesman in Waluigi, just stick to him and leave me alone, ya hear!"
Mario, Luigi, Isabelle, and practically everyone in the meeting room gave Doc Louis an astonished look. Who knew he had that much in him? He went from a calm dude, eating chocolate like it's his life duty, to an absolute eruption of angry emotions, lashing out at Mario.
"My apologies for-a trying to ask," apologized Mario, his voice shaky. Doc's outburst really frightened the living daylights out of him. "Meeting adjourned..." The plumber nervously walked towards the door, too afraid to look in Doc's direction.
"Woah mister, only I dictate whether a meeting is over!" Master Hand frowned...if he ever had any eyebrows or even eyes to begin with.
"Are you okay, Mario?" asked Peach, feeling slightly sympathetic for her man.
"Yes, Peach, I'm just-a fine, don't worry about me..." replied Mario, looking down at the floor. Sonic, who was waiting outside the meeting room door, quickly ambushed the plumber, asking him a myriad of questions about the meeting and how boring it was.
Peach: Oh my goodness, Doc Louis really scared the jeepers out of everyone in the meeting room! Poor Lucas was crying after the meeting was over, and Fox tweeted out Doc's outburst online for reasons unknown. But nobody was more affected by the outburst than Mario; he's still pretty rattled, and is perhaps fearing for his life! Mario and Doc can always forgive and forget...or so I hope.
Viridi remained in her room, sobbing her cares away. It has been a week since her relationship with Pit ended, and it was all because of a potion she gave to the angel, which made him dislike Viridi again. The goddess of nature would start a romantic relationship with Pit's doppelganger, Dark Pit, but an arrogant person like him would make that a huge risk.
"Brought some tea for you!" Captain Falcon entered Viridi's room carrying a plate with a kettle and tea cups on it. The racer placed the plate on Viridi's dresser. "Still saddened about that nasty breakup, huh? Well let me tell you kiddo, I've been on the receiving end of plenty of breakups - I've suffered from so many breakups, I should have my own record in the Guinness Book of World Records!"
"Go away, can't you see I'm depressed..." mumbled Viridi, her face buried in her arms as she laid on her bed. Captain Falcon laid a reassuring hand on the goddess' back; in any other given instance, Viridi would have snapped on Falcon, but she's too somberly saddened to give any sort of reaction. That's what breakups can do to ya!
"That's why I'm here for, to try and cheer you up! Can't stay in the bed forever in a state like this!"
Captain Falcon: Word has it around here that Lloyd still has some romantic feelings for Viridi...now that the young lass is single again, it would be the perfect time for Lloyd to make his move! Viridi wouldn't mind the guy at all, he and Pit both have similar levels of intelligence, and that will give Viridi a strong sense of familiarity! Only difference is, Lloyd doesn't have wings like Pit does...quick question: does Red Bull actually give you wings?
"How about we sing a song!" Captain Falcon wildly suggested. What song will they sing? "Ever heard of the song, 'You Got a Friend In Me'?" Oh joy, they're gonna sing songs from random animated Disney movies...it would take all day for them to sing them all, given that Viridi decides to cooperate.
"No, go away," Viridi responded apathetically. Why can't she just be left alone for five measly minutes, is that so hard to ask?!
"So you never watched the movie Toy Story?!" Captain Falcon felt almost offended to be sitting in the same room with a girl who supposedly never watched the movie. "Oh man, your childhood must have really sucked!" Anyone who has never watched Toy Story - or any other classic Disney film for that matter - should feel utterly ashamed for themselves. That goes for you too, Viridi.
"Fine, I watched the movie, and I know the song, but I'm not singing anything. Leave me alone, will ya?!"
"Leave you alone I will not! I shall not leave until you feel content again!" Judging by Viridi's stagnant cooperation, Captain Falcon may be stuck in the goddess of nature's room until midnight...or until Viridi gets over the breakup. Whichever one comes first.
"Why..." Viridi moaned as she buried her faced in her pillow. Today is gonna be an awfully long day for her...
One of the most important steps when planning a wedding is purchasing the wedding rings. For a reason that he'll end up regretting doing, Marth asked Sonic if he could purchase the wedding rooms from a jewelry store in town. Did the hedgehog fulfill his mansion, or did he ultimately fail? Only one way to find out...
"Earlier this week I asked you to purchase the wedding rings for the wedding, with the money I gave to purchase them," Marth approached Sonic, who was running on a treadmill in the fitness center. He had to make sure he got his workout in before giving Master Hand yet another grueling hand massage...or foot massage, if Master Hand wants his nonexistent feet to be massaged.
"About the rings..." Sonic pressed the button on the treadmill, turning it off, and skidded to a halt. "I got some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that I actually bought the rings. And the bad news is..."
"...You lost the rings?" Marth furrowed his brow in anger as he folded his arms. The wedding rings were both $800 apiece - Marth clearly is going all out for the wedding - and Sonic seemingly lost them.
"Correctamundo! Funny story is, I just exited the jewelry store, when..."
"I don't want to hear anymore..." a frustrated Marth walked away from the hedgehog, and headed towards the exit. Wii Fit Trainer, who was doing some light weight lifting, saw Marth's frustration, and felt a little bad for him.
Wii Fit Trainer: Sometimes I feel as if Marth...over-exerts himself when planning out Luigi's wedding ceremony. Initially, all of us were pitching then, but as time went on, the Hero-King alienated us, and proclaimed that he'll be the one guiding Luigi throughout the process. Sure, he gives certain brawlers tasks to fulfill, but other than that, he's the only person working tirelessly during the entire planning...
Marth stood outside the fitness center, disgruntled with himself. What in his right mind convinced him that having Sonic buying something expensive like wedding rings would be a great idea? Sonic's the type of guy that would snag you a girlfriend, only to find out later that the girl doesn't even like you to begin with. The hedgehog is one of the most unreliable persons in the mansion, and asking him to do a favor for you would be a colossal mistake.
But Marth is determined to find those wedding rings. Sonic said he lost them, which meant that the rings are located somewhere, but that somewhere can be anywhere. Good thing the Hero-King knows who to ask to retrieve the wedding rings...
This week has been a great week for Knuckles the Echidna. His mixtape, Chaotix, sold thousands of copies online and in stores, and racked up oodles upon oodles of cold hard cash as a result of the resounding success of his mixtape.
"We now have raised over $2 million from Knuckles' mixtape!" Big Top, the talking hat, announced to those affiliated with Star Records - Fox, Falco, Knuckles, and Little Mac - in the Star Records room. Knuckles' mixtape was truly one of a kind; many of the songs on said mixtape was critically acclaimed by critics everywhere.
"Sweet!" Fox pumped his fist in the air. "Now we can get that glucose monitoring system for Isabelle!"
"Should we have bought the system already with the money we raised?" questioned Falco.
"Yeah, true, but with the rest of the money, we can buy a pointless amount of crud that we'll ultimately regret buying in the first place! We'll be living like celebrities and rockstars!"
Fox: With the money from Knuckles' mixtape, I can buy Krystal a super-expensive ring that would be more expensive than the Empire State Building! Wonder if I can find one on Amazon...
Falco: With the money we raised, I can finally buy a red corvette! Heck, I'll buy the one Prince used to ride in...he did own a red corvette, right?...The song was about a woman this whole time?! No way!
Little Mac: I would use the money to buy Doc Louis is own personal chocolate fountain. We can put it in the backyard somewhere, and Doc can swim in the chocolate, and bathe in it, and even urinate or defecate in it! (Not that I would want him to do it, especially if he wants to eat the chocolate.) It'd be a dream come true for him!
Knuckles: Screw the others, once we buy that glucose thingy for Isabelle, I'm keeping all the money for myself! Buy some new Air Jordans, get my own personal fridge, maybe even rent a trailer that I can live in - ain't no way I'm sharing my money with anyone else!...Rouge is the only exception. Girl would have a hissy fit if I spent a single dollar without her knowing!
"Falco and I will buy the glucose monitoring system," Fox explained to Little Mac and Knuckles. "We want you two to keep Isabelle at bay, and make sure she doesn't find out about our plans."
"Not that hard of a task," Knuckles responded confidently. "How hard can it be?"
"Do you like designing houses? I know I do, it's one of the most fun experiences ever! Just painting the inside of homes and renovating the house exteriors...I also like to eat fruit, though I haven't eaten as much as I used to have before I got diabetes. What's your favorite fruit?"
"Any kind of fruit, doesn't matter," replied Knuckles, who was twitching his eye in a unnervingly way. He and Little Mac were conversing with Isabelle in her room - with the door locked, so she wouldn't escape - and the two never had known Isabelle to be quite the chatterbox. The shih tzu has been running her mouth nonstop, and Knuckles nor Little Mac can't seem to take it anymore.
"My favorite fruit is bananas," stated Little Mac, at least trying to play it cool with Isabelle unlike Knuckles. If he can keep calm in the boxing ring, then he can keep calm in any other given situation. "Mainly because it gives me protein, necessary for building strong muscles!"
Isabelle: The conversations with Knuckles and Little Mac were great, to say the least. Reason being is that they discuss interesting topics with me, and they don't pity me because of my medical condition like the others do. Not to mention that Knuckles is a bit more...peaceful, when talking to me, most of the other times he can be kinda rash and mean...hopefully he's not faking the candor he used with me.
"Let's change the subject, shall we?" said Little Mac. Isabelle braced herself for what subject Little Mac chooses to discuss next. "An associate of mine told me that you're particularly fond of K.K. Slider."
"Yes, that much is correct, I'm a huge fan of his," answered Isabelle, feeling slightly insecure. Not only is she a fan of K.K., but she also harbors a minor crush on the guitar-playing dog, though the depths of her love for K.K. aren't that much explored. "Rool try to get me to kiss him during the cruise, and that didn't go so well..."
"Why would Rool want you to kiss K.K. if you're just a fan?" questioned Knuckles. "That's like forcing a fangirl whose a fan of Harry Styles to run onstage and kiss Styles on the cheek! If you ask me, Harry Styles looks overrated, that long hair of his is goofy as heck!"
"How can anyone look overrated..." Little Mac raised an eyebrow, not able to comprehend Knuckles' reasoning. "You probably meant to say he doesn't look as attractive as fans make him out to be."
"Nope, his looks are overrated," Knuckles said as he defiantly folded his arms. Bet the echidna's girlfriend Rouge doesn't think he looks overrated.
Still pretty shaken by Doc Louis' unexpected outburst, Mario wearily walked his way to the mansion's workshop, and rested his head against a desk. Jacky, who was done working on his lovely car, Wanderlust, saw Mario with his head on the desk and wonder what was up.
"Dang Mario, you don't look like your usual self!" the race car driver told the plumber. "Looks like you accidentally walked into Peach's room while she was changing again!" Mario may never live that incident down.
"Doc yelled at-a me during the meeting..." stated Mario. His eyes were looking straight at the workshop door. "It was the angriest we have-a ever seen him..."
"So what are you gonna do about it? Let him overwhelm like that you forever?"
"What-a are you getting at?" Mario lifted his head up from the desk, suddenly feeling intrigued.
"Perhaps you should punish Doc by kicking him out of the mansion for a short bit, make him pay for yelling at you earlier! I'd say let him out for an hour or two, and let him back inside."
Jacky: Tried it one time with Link. Dude had the audacity to say that I used way too much hair gel on my hair, and so I kicked him out of the mansion, refusing to let him back in until midnight. It was kinda hilarious; when I let Link back in, he was all covered in mud, and his entire uniform was completely mangled, from the hat down to the boots. His face had a look that only a swamp monster would love.
"He would handle-a it very well," Mario stroke his chin. Doc wouldn't struggle that much, for he would just eat his precious chocolate to keep himself alive. "I'll-a give your idea a shot. Now where on-a earth is Doc Louis?"
"Heard from Lucina that he was in the gaming room, letting off some steam," replied Jacky. "Clearly he's still ticked about going off on you earlier."
"I would-a assume so...mind if you go with-a me to the gaming room?" Mario's gonna need some backup in the event Doc Louis steals off the plumber and gives him the beating of a lifetime. Despite his old age, Doc can still pack a punch.
"Sure, but just this once. If Doc wants to fight you, then I'll be running for the hills!"
In the arcade room, Link and Cloud were playing a game of Galaga, with Cloud's pet Chocobo Cloud Jr. to keep the swordsmen company. Well, actually, he's not really there to keep them company, Cloud is just watching over him, since he can't trust his Chocobo to be left all alone, for it would perhaps fly about in the mansion, doing things like pecking random people or disturbing the peace. If Cloud Jr. did this outside in a public area, it's fair game, but let someone like Falco do such things in a similar environment, and he would be arrested. Double standard at its finest.
"Gah, I lost again!" Link frowned as he lost to Cloud yet again in an intense two-player battle. Cloud seems to have Link's number in this game, but the hero of Hyrule feels pretty confident that he can change things around.
"Just the two guys I needed to see!" Marth ran into the arcade room to meet Link and Cloud, and was panting when he came to a stop. Either he did a heck of a lot of running, or he's not that athletic and should work out more. "Afraid I have some terrible news - Sonic lost the wedding rings after I told him to purchase them!"
Link and Cloud both had blank looks on their faces. Were they supposed to be surprised by this piece of information?
"To make matters worse, the wedding rings were both priced at $800!" Now Link and Cloud started to care about the situation at hand, as their eyes widened.
Link: Letting Sonic buy expensive wedding rings was a huge mistake on Marth's part. Letting Sonic do any favor for you is a huge mistake in general, and trust me, I learned that the hard way. My left knee got agitated in a football game I was playing in the mansion's backyard (and yes, our team won), and I entrusted Sonic to get me an ice pack while I laid in my bed. Apparently the hedgehog claimed he didn't even see an ice pack, even though Pac-Man saw him staring RIGHT AT IT, and instead of an ice pack, he got a small heater that he put on my knee, going on with some "no pain, no gain" crap that had nothing to do with my affliction. Because of him, the pain in the knee got worse. Why do I even bother with that guy...
"Did you ask him where he last had the rings?" asked Cloud. "Maybe we can retrace his steps."
"I would have, but I was too angry at him to ask him any hard-hitting questions," replied Marth. "Knew I shouldn't have walked away like that...he was relatively chill about losing the rings, and that only made me even angrier."
"We'll go ask Sonic about the rings, and we'll go from there," Link told the Hero-King. "Don't worry, we'll retrieve those rings real soon!" He and Cloud exited the arcade room, with Cloud Jr flying after them, and Marth smiled with a sense of confidence. Link and Cloud will most certainly get the job done.
"Marth, sorry if I'm bothering you, but don't you think that you have been stressing yourself out from preparing for Luigi's wedding?" Wii Fit Trainer approached the Hero-King from behind, startling him. Marth shrieked like the girly man he was and leaped in the air in fright, only to see the workout warrior smiling at him. Let's hope nobody heard Marth shrieking...
"My goodness, Wii Fit Trainer, you scared the living daylights out of me..." Marth began to hyperventilate, though he wasn't as shook as Mario when Doc Louis went off on the plumber.
"What you need to do is relax, take a load off! By empowering yourself during the wedding process, you're putting yourself at a risk of stressing yourself out and giving yourself unneeded anxiety! A cool-down session is what you need!"
Marth just gave Wii Fit Trainer a "What are you talking about?" look. He's in complete denial about what Wii Fit Trainer just said, feeling that he's not "overexerting" himself; due to him being the only married person in the Smash Mansion, he has to be the only driving force behind the whole wedding planning.
"Come with me, it's about time you take a nice, long break..." Wii Fit Trainer grabbed Marth's shoulders and showed him out of the arcade room.
"Where are you taking me?! I demand answers!" Oh, shut up, Marth, Wii Fit Trainer is actually doing you a huge favor.
In the living room, Waluigi was hanging out with Pit, Kirby, Shulk, and Toon Link. The lanky man in purple had some unfinished business with Shulk, and that business was immediately finished with a sincere apology.
"Sorry for calling you a big, lanky, weird mustached freak a long time ago," Shulk apologized to Waluigi. "Just trying way too hard to be funny." The Homs would have apologized to Waluigi at Daisy's birthday party, but who honestly apologizes to others at such occasions?
"Ah, don't mention it, I got that that moniker a lot!" grinned Waluigi. Does he not see a problem with this? Must have become acclimated to name-calling throughout his entire life...
Waluigi: "Big, lanky, weird mustached freak" isn't even the worst thing I was ever called. Back in high school, when my mustache was truly starting to take form and become more distinguishable, those dastardly jocks - you know, the ones that wear letterman jackets and look down upon anyone doesn't have at least more than 20% of muscle fat - mocked me and dubbed me names like the ugly Italian Ron Jeremy. At the time, I was unfamiliar with his Ron Jeremy person, and so I looked him up online...and now I've been scarred forever ever since.
"So Pit, I saw that you were dancing with that Viridi girl at Daisy's birthday party," Waluigi told to Pit. The angel furrowed his brow and looked around in confusion; apparently he doesn't remember dancing with Viridi at all.
"I wasn't dancing with that freak!" scoffed Pit. "At the party I was...doing something else, though I cannot remember what exactly it was." Seems like the love potion from Ashley made Pit forget every romantic thing he and Viridi used to do. It seemingly wiped his memory! (Or at least certain bits of it.)
"Hmm, must still be slightly denial in love, I see! How about we go to Viridi, and you fully confess your love to her!"
"Heck no!" Pit was strongly against his idea, adamant on not associating himself with Viridi. He may not remember his romantic moments with the goddess of nature, but he certainly remembers the tsundere tendencies she displayed. "You must be crazy!"
"Waluigi you should go to Viridi and tell her how much Pit loves her, while we contain Pit here!" Toon Link suggested to Waluigi. The lanky man nodded his head in agreement; he can complete his mission without having to worry about Pit chasing him down and beating him senselessly.
"Good idea!" exclaimed Waluigi. "You guys hold Pit down, while I'll go tell Viridi the good news!" The man ran out of the living room, and Kirby, Shulk, and Toon Link restrained Pit, who was about to run after Waluigi before the three pinned him down to the couch.
"How can you guys do this to me, I thought you were my friends!" whined Pit. Had they not been his friends, the angel would have used his arrows to pierce the three individuals.
"So are you still ticked off at Mario?" Ike discussed with Doc Louis while the two were playing billiards in the gaming room. Billiards was the only way Doc could "let off some steam", according to the chocolate lover himself.
"A little, but not a whole lot," replied Doc, hitting an 8 ball with his cue stick and sending it down into the gutter. He has been generally more calm after the incident happened, using measures such as light breathing to calm himself down.
"Mario is making his way to the gaming room!" Lucas entered the gaming room to announce this. "And he doesn't look happy!"
"That man Mario coming here?! Oh man, time to call my boys!" Doc Louis ran to a secret spot in the gaming room, and pulled out his phone, calling who-knows-who.
"Doc where are you?" Lucina, who was present in the gaming room, looked for the boxing trainer. She had been advised by Chrom to keep a close eye on Doc Louis, ensuring that he stays calm and doesn't feel the desire to fight anyone.
Lucina: While I'm stuck here in the gaming room monitoring Doc Louis, Father is in the computer room on some lousy dating simulation site. You'd figured that with all the interactions he has with women during the war with Plegia, he wouldn't have to use any simulator, but apparently he's still a lovable dork at heart...
Everyone in the gaming room feared for the worst when a defiant Mario stepped inside, accompanied by Jacky Bryant. Mario had a look on his face that meant that somebody is gonna pay, and they're gonna pay dearly.
"Tell me where Doc Louis is!" the plumber demanded to Lucas. The blonde teenagers (yes, he's a teenager, don't let his diminutive size and childlike appearance fool you, same goes for Ness) frighteningly pointed to the part of the room Doc was hiding. Mario and Jacky marched over to Doc's hiding spot (actually Mario was marching, Jacky simply walked) and confronted the boxing trainer.
"Alright man, see you and your boys later," Doc made these parting words to whomever he was talking to on the phone before hanging up. He stood up, staring at Mario. You could build the tension here with a machete, for a knife would not simply be enough. "Got a problem buddy?"
"I don't-a appreciate you yelling at me back-a at the meeting," responded Mario. "As a way to punish-a you for your actions, I'm temporarily kicking you out-a of the mansion!"
"Man you know you can't just kick me out without Master Hand's consent!" Doc was right, only Master Hand can dictate whether or not someone should be kicked out.
"Master Hand-a doesn't matter here, what does matter is that-a you learn your lesson!"
Soon Mario and Doc Louis were both embroiled in a hot-boiled argument that saw many brawlers in the gaming room to quietly exit, including Jacky Bryant.
"Kinda knew this was gonna happen," Jacky whispered to Lucina as they exited out of the gaming room.
"Had a feeling it was too," Lucina whispered back. "Hopefully they won't take long to argue..."
Link and Cloud went to go speak with Sonic, who was giving Master Hand a hand massage, and the hedgehog told them that he last had the rings at the jewelry store downtown. So the two swordsmen headed down there, and saw a bunch of burly black dudes flanked near the store.
"Sonic said he was talking to a bunch of burly guys," stated Cloud. "Those guys over there must be whom he was referring to." These dudes reminded Cloud of his pal Barret, who lowkey looks like Mr. T but with a flat top (at least in FF7).
Cloud: My street cred may not be on par, much to everyone's shock I would assume, but I gotta stay on my toes in order to avoid getting beat up. Sonic did say that the guys he was talking to are quite strong, so one bad move and I'm a goner...
"You go up to them and give them some dap," Cloud suggested to Link; the Hylian looked at his friend like he was insane. "We'll go from there."
"Why me, I would be beaten to a pulp!" complained Link. Compared to the burly dudes hanging near the jewelry store, the Hylian is a mere twig, toothpick, or whatever figure of speech you wish to use.
"Exactly, you'd make the perfect chew toy and guinea pig. Just go over there, and act as natural as possible!"
Cloud shoved Link forward to the burly men, and the men looked at the Hylian questionably. What happened next, you'll have to see to believe.
"Hey fam, what up, how you doin'?" Link walked up to each dude and gave them some dap, complete with the handshake and the pound hug, also saying things like "What's good, cuz?" or "Chillin' in the cut?". Cloud just looked at this mesmerized, wondering if some cool, thug dude infiltrated Link's body and make the Hylian act like this.
"How's it going," Cloud walked up to the men, and instead of giving some dap, the swordsman went with the classic fist bump, bumping fists with everyone. Inside his head, he's debating whether or not he would tell Link about his surprising level of street cred. Though it's a given that everyone at the mansion would want to hear about that!
"Nothing much, nothing much," replied one of the men, who had a distinguishable bald head."So what brings you lads here?"
"A friend of ours said he lost two rings around here," explained Link. "Got any idea where they can be?"
"Yeah, well, we would help you guys out, but we got our hands quite full. We're on our way to the Smash Mansion, to take care of some business. It's great to meet you!"
And with that, the burly men walked away from the jewelry store, and departed to the Smash Mansion. But for what reason?
"'Take care of some business'?" Cloud reiterated, trying to figure out what that meant. He suddenly feared for the worst. "They must be coming after Sonic!"
"Well what are we waiting for, let's go follow them!" said Link. Whatever Sonic had done, it's about to get the hedgehog in a whole heap of trouble!
Fox: We finally got that glucose monitoring system for Isabelle! But getting it was a very hard task in itself.
Falco: Indeed it was, none of the major retailers had what we looking for. Heck, not even a convenience store had a monitoring system! How are you gonna call yourself a convenience store, when you don't even have convenient stuff?!
Fox: Our last resort was to purchase the monitoring system from a cool gadget store in downtown Seattle. It was originally priced at $900, but thanks to a discount, we got it for $850! Say what you want, but a dollar saved is a dollar earned!
Falco: I thought that saying only applies to pennies.
Fox: Nah, not really, I've heard youngsters say that about Pokemon cards...bunch of nerds they are.
Fox and Falco proceeded to enter Isabelle's room, where Isabelle, Knuckles, and Little Mac were still having their conversations. Knuckles and Little Mac did an excellent job at containing the shih tzu; whenever Isabelle wanted something to eat or drink, Knuckles would kindly retrieve her something, and whenever Isabelle had to use the bathroom...let's just say that Isabelle was only allowed to exit the room for that purpose.
"Hey Isabelle, guess what we got for you..." Fox handed Isabelle a gift box, and the yellow dog wagged her tail with utter joy.
"This here present is to make up for infiltrating your laptop and private matters," explained Falco, as Isabelle tore apart the wrapping paper. She opened the box, and guess what was inside? The glucose monitoring system! If you honestly thought it was something else, then shame on you.
Isabelle didn't give any reaction to the gift. Instead, she just...stared at the monitoring system for a good while.
"So do you like it?" asked Fox, anticipating Isabelle to say yes, and not stare at her gift like she's having a staring contest.
"Not sure how to tell you guys this, but..." Isabelle was nervously scratching the back of her head. Fox and Falco were waited precautiously for what the dog will say next.
"You like the gift, don't you?" asked Falco. The anticipation and excitement was nearly killing him.
"I went to the doctor's office earlier this week, and he ran a few blood tests on me, and he confirmed...that I no longer have diabetes."
Fox, Falco, Knuckles, and Little Mac all stared at Isabelle with their mouths agape. The hard work they did to raise money from Star Records turns out to be all for naught.
"You're joking, right?" asked Fox, ready to go on a full-blown meltdown and destroy everything in sight out of rage.
"The blood tests were negative, and I'm no longer diagnosed with diabetes, although the condition may return with age. I was unsure about telling the others..."
Fox and Falco reacted to this news by displaying a flurry of emotions. Fox literally threw Knuckles out of a nearby window in anger, and Falco was so ticked that he kicked Little Mac where the sun doesn't shine. Hopefully the boxer is wearing a cup.
"Guys will you please calm down?!" fretted Isabelle. Fox and Falco did not listen; they were angry, and grumpy, and all sorts of negative emotions. Wii Fit Trainer just so happened to walk past by when he saw what was going down.
"Seems like you two need to take a chill pill!" she grabbed Fox and Falco by the ear (or for Falco, wherever his ear is located) and dragged them out of the room, while Isabelle looked on. If the Star Fox pilots reacted just like they did to the news, will the others react in a similar way?
Waluigi trekked through the mansion in search for Viridi. He would have found the goddess of nature earlier, but he was too busy chatting with Wario. When you haven't seen your best buddy in a good while, you gotta stop and chat every now and then.
"Viridi where are you, come out, come out, wherever you are!" called out Wario, who offered to assist Waluigi. Because that's what great friends do!
Wario: Me? Wanting to help Waluigi?! *laughs* I'm only there to take all the credit when he finds Viridi, should there be any! Don't get it twisted!
Wario and Waluigi would eventually run into the burly men that Link and Cloud met earlier. Kudos to them on making it inside the mansion without a hassle. Everyone fell on the floor...and two expensive-looking wedding rings fell out of the pockets of the leader of the burly guys, the bald-headed one.
"Hey man, watch where you're going!" frowned Wario. He saw the wedding rings on the floor, and reached out to grab him, but Waluigi restrained him from doing so.
"No, Wario, it's just gold, you can get gold anywhere, like the gold mines in South Africa!" Waluigi tried to tell Wario. Emphasis on "tried", since Wario was too entranced by the rings to pay Waluigi any attention whatsoever.
"These must be the rings!" Cloud exclaimed as he and Link ran into the scene after following behind the burly men. He picked up the rings, and inspected them. Indeed, they were the rings; time to give them back to Marth. But first, some questions must be asked.
"How did you guys obtain these rings?" asked Link. The bald-headed leader got up and dusted himself off.
"The hedgehog guy - his name was Sonic - we were speaking to him when he exited the jewelry, and after he was done talking, he sped off, only to drop those wedding rings unsuspectingly. I took the rings, and held onto them until he decided to come back for 'em."
"So you guys were hanging out near a jewelry store?" Wario raised an eyebrow. "Trying to ask out any lady that exits the jewelry store, huh? Why haven't I thought of that earlier?!"
"Our previous hangout was infiltrated by a street gang, and apparently the jewelry store was the other place he had for hanging out. It's better if you don't ask..."
"Yo, boss, we came here for something else, right?" asked one of the burly dudes. About time someone over than baldie decided to speak.
"Oh yeah, Doc Louis is in trouble and needs our help! Anybody got any clue where he can be?"
"He's in the gaming room, arguing with Mario," explained Wario. "To get to the gaming room, you just gotta go up those stairs, and make a right, and then..." The group of burly men had already left, and Wario got angry. He wanted to take credit for giving testosterone-filled dudes directions, but so much for that...
"Let's go give these rings back to Marth," Cloud told Link as the two swordsmen went to go find the Hero-King.
Mario and Doc Louis were still arguing with one another in the gaming room. Mario threw shade at Doc's boxing career, and Doc fired shots at Mario's relationship with Peach. All and all, a whole lot of personal jabs and nothing much else.
"See?" Lucas guided Peach and Zelda to the gaming room, interrupting their tea party, and showed them Mario and Doc Louis arguing. "They've been going at it nonstop! Nothing that we do is able to stop them!"
"Guess we have to take matters into our own hands," Peach sighed as she and Zelda went over to Mario and Doc; Peach closed Mario's mouth with her hand while holding his hands hostage, and Zelda did the same to Doc Louis.
"Don't you think you two have been arguing for a rather long time?" asked Zelda. Doc Louis was too much for the princess of Hyrule to handle, for he was using his strength to break himself free. Never underestimate a former boxing heavyweight champion, regardless of his age.
"Not really, I haven't insulted my adversary's intelligence yet," replied Doc Louis.
"What-a he said," Mario followed up the boxing trainer.
"Come with us," Peach and Zelda guided Mario and Doc Louis out of the gaming room, and to a place where they can at least be calmed down.
Black Knight: It's almost criminal to see the brawlers overlook my proficiency at making tea. Yeah, you're probably thinking, "Making tea is the easiest thing to do, just dip some tea bags into some boiling water, and add some sugar, and be done with it". Unlike the many other cretins out there, I like to spice up my tea, adding things like cinnamon, ginger, horseradish...hold up, be right back, Peach wants to speak with me... *exits talking head segment, returns a while later* Peach wants me to make more tea? Not a problem for the Black Tea-Knight! *sighs* What a horrible nickname...
Captain Falcon remained in Viridi's room, where the slightly less depressed goddess of nature was sipping tea after Falcon's urging to do so. Falcon and Viridi were not alone - also present in this room was Marth (instructed by Wii Fit Trainer to take a break from wedding planning), Fox (went full ham after learning Isabelle is no longer diagnosed with diabetes), and Falco (same reason as Fox).
"Got any room for another person?" Toon Link barged into the room, with the Hylian, Shulk, and Kirby carrying Pit, who was fighting back. The three threw Pit on the bed, and the angel conveniently landed...next to his ex-girlfriend, Viridi (Captain Falcon moved out of the way). "Have fun with Pit!"
"No guys, you're going the wrong way!" Pit said to the threesome as they left the room. The angel looked to his left, and saw Viridi - the girl didn't even want to look Pit in the eye. "Still mad over that breakup?" Pit is still unfamiliar with his breakup with Viridi, the love potion has done absolute wonders.
"Can't you see..." Viridi sighed depressingly. Just what she needed - some time with her ex-boyfriend to keep her mood negative.
"Well, I've kinda gave some thought, and I've been thinking, and...I was thinking about restarting our relationship."
In the blink of an eye, Viridi went from a depressed emo chick to a wide-eyed genki girl. Was she hearing this right?
Toon Link: Kinda talked some sense into Pit while we were holding him down - I told him that if he has Viridi as a girlfriend, he get can her to buy the latest Metal Gear Solid game for him, and he thought that having Viridi as a girlfriend would be totally worth it! Can't wait to see how he's gonna react when he finds out that they don't even make Metal Gear Solid games anymore. Very easy to take advantage of Pit's knowledge, or the lack thereof.
"Always knew you still loved me!" Viridi happily hugged Pit's arm, tugging on to it. Pit looked at Captain Falcon with a worried and afraid look, and the racer responded with a comforting grin and a thumbs up. Waluigi, who was planning on telling Viridi how much Pit loves her, stood and watched by the door.
"Looks like my work here is done, before I could even do it," he smiled. "Now I have some time to flirt with Samus..." He grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together as he walked away. Wario already has a tough time flirting with Samus, what possibly makes Waluigi think he'll have a better chance?!
Just when Waluigi walked away, Link and Cloud showed up, and gave the wedding rings to Marth, who was delighted to see them in one peace.
"Thank you two so much for retrieving these rings," thanked the Hero-King. "This will teach me a lesson to never rely on Sonic for completing favors."
Peach and Zelda walked Mario and Doc Louis into Viridi's room, and had them sit in the bed opposite from Viridi's, near Fox and Falco. The plumber and the boxing trainer seemed more tranquil, though their beef with each other was still apparent.
"Now where is the Black Knight with the tea?" Peach looked around. The armored knight showed up, right on cue, holding a large plate with a kettle and tea cups on it.
"Sorry I took so long, I've been doing a little experimentation with the tea," he apologized to the princesses. "Now who is this tea for?"
"For Mario and Doc," explained Zelda. "We thought that some tea might ease their temper." The Black Knight made his way over to the two, and handed them each a tea cup, pouring hot tea into it. Mario and Doc Louis both sipped their tea, and soon they felt relieved.
"Ah, nothing like some good-a refreshing tea to keep your spirits-a up!" gleamed Mario, before turning to Doc Louis. "As for-a earlier..."
"Yeah, about that...sorry for yelling at you like that and scaring your pants off," apologized Doc Louis. "Or should I say, overalls!" Doc laughed at his own joke, and was disheartened when nobody else was laughing with him. It wasn't like it was a hysterical joke or anything. "Anyways, I can be your 'backup bridesman', but only under one condition...I wanna eat chocolate during the ceremony, it will keep my energy levels up to par. That's why I initially didn't want to do the part."
"Feel-a free to eat chocolate if you-a like! I'll bend-a the rules, only for-a you!" Safe to say that Mario and Doc Louis are back on good terms now.
"Doc Louis, is that you?" the bald-headed dude stood at the doorway, flanked by his boys. Doc's eyes widened when he recognized who the baldie was.
"Hey man, come right on in!" he smiled. The bald guy did as he was told, and he exchanged handshakes with Doc Louis. Everyone looked on confused, wondering what was going on.
"You know this guy?" asked Link, the man who infamously gave dap to the bald guy earlier.
"Know this guy? This right here is Bald Bull! Me and him go way back!"
Bald Bull: How exactly do I know Doc Louis? We used to be rivals...or we became trainers together. Not sure which one is which, Nintendo canon loves the scramble things around.
"I see you and Mario are no longer angry at each other," observed Bald Bull. "That's good to see. I also helped out those blonde chaps over there, they were looking for wedding rings and they managed to find them. Also, I met this canine lass here...where is she?"
"Right here!" Isabelle emerged from the group of burly men, noticeably happy and reassured.
"There she goes! She's been going about the mansion telling people some rather exciting news, and I think she ready to share the news with y'all, isn't that right?"
"Yes sir..." Isabelle nodded, bracing herself. "So I went to the doctor's appointment, and he ran some blood tests, and it turns out, that I no longer have diabetes!"
"Why, that's-a excellent!" gleamed Mario. The others except for Fox and Falco shared the plumber's delight. "Why didn't you tell us this earlier?"
"Because I was a bit unsure about how you would react. I already told Fox and Falco, and they went completely bonkers..." Isabelle is clearly unaware of the fact that Fox and Falco raised all the money they did from Star Records, just to find out that saving up the money for glucose monitoring system and then purchasing it was all for naught - but hey, at least they have a surplus amount of money to spend their wants and cares on!
"Everyone reacts-a differently to different types-a of news, so there's no need to worry about-a them."
"Isabelle, since you're diabetes-free and all...care for a cup of tea?" the Black Knight offered Isabelle a teacup, filled to the brim with tea. Previously Isabelle would have said no, but now that she's free of diabetes for the time being...
"Yes I do!" Isabelle happily wagged her tail as she accepted the teacup from the Black Knight, and sipped it happily and gladly.
Isn't it great to see others overcome the many challenges and adversaries life brings to you?
