Author's Note:
Oh, would you look at this, another Thanksgiving chapter. Could you imagine if I did a Black Friday chapter instead? That would be fun. But I digress. Let's move on to the reviews:
"Is Daisy pregnant again? Will you add a scene of Mai from King of Fighters interacting with Eleanor from Tales of Berseria and Yang from RWBY and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle? (Ami Koshimizu voices all 3 of them) a scene of Chrom reacting to the anime Gintama? (Tomokazu Sugita shares the same voice with Chrom and Gintoki) can you add a scene of the Galar gym leaders interacting with the non-Galar Pokemon? And finally, what are your thoughts on Pokemon Sword and Shield selling well despite the backlash it got?"
Ooh, a spicy question about Daisy being pregnant...I'll leave it unanswered. I might do that scene. Chrom reacting to Gintana would be hilarious. If the Galar gym leaders appear, I can have them interact with non-Galar Pokemon. And it's no surprise that Sword and Shield sold well. Any game with "Pokemon" in the title can sell well, at this point. Now we have MarMan:
"This is the best fanfic I have ever read. Thank you for making this. As for my suggestion, I was wondering if you could include Hatterene, one of the new Pokemon in Sword and Shield. One of its Pokédex entries states, "This Pokémon can read the emotions of creatures over 30 miles away. The minute it senses hostility, it goes on the attack." Since we have a lot of hostility in the Smash Mansion often, I could see Hatterene going on a rampage."
Thank you for the kind words! Hatterene is at the mansion already, in the Pokemon sanctuary, but to see her go amok with all the hostility in the mansion...it could mean some serious trouble. Could have Hatterene in an epic face-off with Blissey. Next up is LiamTheYoshi:
"I have a random question though, what are your thoughts on Terry joining Super Smash Bros Ultimate?"
Terry is a pretty cool addition to Smash, always great to have characters from fighting games joining the fray. Will Heihachi be the next fighting game character in Smash? Seems very likely. Last is PinkRose4452:
"1. Can Callie and Marie join Star Records?
2. Athena Asamiya comes to visit the mansion, and when Fox and Falco find out that she's an idol, they try to convince her to sign up to be a part of Star Records."
1. I prefer Marie and Callie to be standalone musical artists, so no.
2. Fox and Falco would be pretty desperate to sign Athena to their record company...sounds like a good idea.
And now, the most important part of this author's note...happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Episode 206: DinnerGuest
Last week, the ladies at the sleepover were beyond shocked when Peach invited two guests hailing from an alternate universe - Ruby Rose, and Weiss Schnee. Ruby and Weiss came over to the Smash universe after what appeared to be a technical mishap in regards to install some Dynamax technology into the mansion grounds. NO one yet knew what this technical mishap was, or what caused it to begin with.
However, that certainly didn't stop Ruby and Weiss from attending the sleepover at Celica and Rinea's house, and having a good time. Since the two ladies couldn't return to their universe, even with the help of Dr. Wily, they had no choice but to stay with Mario and Peach until they found a way home.
Which, in a way, made it all the more easier for Peach to invite Ruby and Weiss to her Thanksgiving dinner, at her house. It was a great opportunity for Mario and Peach to know Ruby and Weiss better, and a whole bunch of other stuff.
Dr. Wily: Tried my best to bring Ruby and Weiss back to their universe, with my handy universe transport portal...but unfortunately I can't calibrate the right coordinates. The alternate universe I'm looking far seems to be very foreign, which only makes matters even more complicated. I hate to say it, but for this Thanksgiving Day, I'll be spending my time...downstairs. There better be enough turkey left over for me!
As is tradition, Mario was the first at his household to wake up, just to see a float in his likeness at the Thanksgiving parade. The plumber was in the living room in his housecoat, with his eyes glued to the television screen.
"Come on, come on, just show it already..." said a very impatient Mario, as Spyro and Hunter entered the living room. The two friends took notice of Mario's eyes, and saw how tired and strained they were. Mario was probably too excited to sleep last night.
"Good morning, Mario," Spyro greeted the plumber, trying to be friendly, but Mario did not respond. His eyes and his mind were only fixated on the television. "Um, hello? Earth to Mario? I said good morning!"
"Shush, you'll ruin-a my focus!" Mario aggressively shushed Spyro, before reeling his eyes in closer to the television screen. He knew that his parade float was coming, he could just feel it...
"Dude, you seriously need to relax, it's just a parade float," said Hunter; if the cheetah knew any better, he'd shut up and leave Mario be. "Nobody watches the Thanksgiving parade just to see some..."
"OH YEAH BUDDY, THERE IT IS, LET'S-A GO!" Mario started cheering the moment his parade float appeared on the television screen. The plumber stood up and cheered, before whistling and hollering and stuff. "Best-a float in the parade!"
"Why must you be so loud..." asked Ruby, who walked out of the guest room she and Weiss were staying in as she rubbed her eyes. "...Weiss is still asleep."
"Oh! Ruby! You're missing the best-a part of the Thanksgiving parade." Mario pointed at the television screen, showing Ruby his parade float. "My parade float! The only thing in this parade worth-a seeing."
"Is that a marching band?" asked Spyro, as a marching band was marching right behind Mario's float. Mario gasped when he saw the marching band, before grabbing the TV remote and flipping the channel. "Hey, I was watching that!"
"Like I said, my float is the only thing-a worth seeing. Not some lame-a marching band, or that lousy pop-a singer who acts-a like she's ten."
"Honestly, I thought she was an overgrown seven-year old," commented Hunter; realizing whom Hunter was referring to, Spyro shook his head in dismay.
"So Ruby, how would-a you like a Thanksgiving breakfast?" Ruby was pretty allured by the idea, as she smiled. "I'll give-a you and Weiss the works - some pumpkin pie, sage sausage, and-a scrambled eggs! How about it?"
"That would be very lovely," replied Ruby, who was interested in seeing Mario's cooking prowess. Couldn't be any worse than Palutena. "Never really had sage sausage before, but I'll give it a try..."
"Spyro, can I speak with you for a sec?" Hunter asked the dragon, before leading him away towards the bathroom so he could speak with him in private. "I think Ruby and Weiss are up to no good."
"You're only saying that because they're forced to stay here," Spyro whispered to Hunter; as always, Hunter was acting super paranoid when it came to guests living at the Mario household. "It's not like they're evil witches or anything. They're pretty decent chicks."
"That's what they want you to believe...they're trying to manipulate us! Their end goal is to kick us two out of the house, and then kick Mario and Peach, and have the house for themselves!"
"Yeah...Ruby and Weiss don't seem like the kind of ladies that would even think about doing that. Why would they do that in the first place?"
"It's simple - they're literally pawns, hired by Impa. Impa wants to spite the both of us, Spyro, and then have her last laugh."
"I mean that does sound plausible...if we wronged Impa in the past. Which we never did. Stop acting crazy, Hunter!"
"...are you two gonna move out of the way or not?" a voice asked Spyro and Hunter, who looked over and saw Weiss. The young maiden looked tired, having woke up from her slumber. "I have to use the bathroom..."
"Uh, sure, no problem!" Spyro and Hunter got out of Weiss' away, and allowed her to enter the bathroom in peace. "Hopefully she wasn't standing there the whole time...she might think you're insane, Hunter!"
"Just wait until I prove you right..." Hunter told Spyro, confident that he wasn't in the wrong at all.
While Mario had the Thanksgiving tradition of waking up early in the morning to see his float at the parade, Luigi had a tradition of his own...setting his turkey on fire. This occurred every Thanksgiving since Luigi moved out of the mansion, and it would nearly ruin the Thanksgiving dinner. But this year, Luigi had enough.
What exactly would Luigi do, to change things? Buy himself a pre-cooked turkey and save himself from all the trouble of cooking a turkey at his house. It saved the plumber a lot of time and energy, but would it save him from the turkey still catching on fire to begin with?
Luigi: Anna the merchant would make-a some turkeys, and minister it to the poor and home-a less around Seattle. Me, being the slightly advantageous one, posed as a homeless guy, and got-a myself a turkey! *holds up turkey* Sadly, Anna saw right through-a my disguise - kept yanking the scraggly beard I glued-a to my face, to see if it was legit - but she still gave-a me a turkey anyways. But the "barter", she said, was that I had to invite-a her to my Thanksgiving feast. So as long as Master Hand is nowhere near-a my house, I'm still a living man.
Because the turkey was already done, Luigi had more time to focus on making the other dishes of his Thanksgiving feast, like the smoked ham, the sweet potato casserole, and so on and so forth. The plumber hummed a happy tune as he was mixing the sweet potatoes in a blender, when the doorbell rang.
"I believe that's Anna, zzrt!" Rotom notified Luigi, using its sixth sense to determine who could be standing on the doorstep. "Shall I open the door, Luigi?"
"You have-a my word," Luigi nodded his head, as Rotom flew to the front door and opened it. As it expected, Anna was standing by, carrying a basket full of bread loaves on her right arm.
"Good morning, Anna, and happy Thanksgiving!" Rotom greeted the merchant, letting her inside Luigi's home; somewhere Master Hand was extremely furious. "Do you mind if I take this break basket, zroom?"
"Of course, go ahead!" replied Anna, handing her basket to Rotom. Rotom would put the basket away, as Anna made her way into the kitchen where Luigi was.
"Ah, I see you've-a finally made it," Luigi took notice of Anna, as he took the contents of the mixer and poured it into a silver bowl. "Welcome, Anna!"
"Thanks for inviting me, Luigi! I had absolutely nowhere to go for a Thanksgiving dinner, and knowing that Master Hand is at the mansion..."
"Don't mention it, I'm just-a doing what any great-a Samaritan would. I can't thank-a you enough for giving me that turkey!"
"Just be glad that I already know who you are...so, where is the turkey?" Anna looked around the kitchen, wondering where Luigi was keeping the turkey at.
"Glad-a you asked - I'm keeping the turkey in-a the oven. Gotta keep it pre-heated." Luigi would open the oven door, and looked inside the oven...
...and he nearly screamed when he saw a few embers on Anna's pre-made turkey. While the embers were small, they could result in a big fire if not dealt soon.
"Well, Luigi? Is it in the oven or not?" asked Anna, wondering why Luigi looked so shocked for. Luigi began giggling nervously, as he closed the oven door.
"Silly me - the turkey's not in the oven!" responded Luigi, doing his best to not let his nervousness overwhelm him. "In-a fact, there's nothing in the oven at all."
"Would that explain why the oven lights are on?" Anna saw a few lights on the oven dashboard, and Luigi almost screamed when he saw them.
"I'm pre-heating my oven, for uh...for the smoked-a ham! Ham is already seasoned - just needs to be warm-a enough for consumption."
"But Luigi, you already cooked the smoked ham, zzrt," Rotom pointed out, showing up behind Luigi. Luigi angrily shushed the plasma Pokemon.
"Smoked honey ham is what I'm-a prepping my oven for," Luigi would clarify for Anna, who was now fully convinced now. A smile from the merchant confirmed it.
"Two kinds of ham at the Thanksgiving feast...I'm so glad I came to your house now!" As Luigi placed some mini marshmallows in his sweet potato concoction, Daisy came down the stairs, yawning.
"Good morning Luigi, good morning Rotom, good morning Anna..." the princess greeted her husband, his pet Pokemon, and Anna as she walked through the kitchen...before stopping and turning around as she looked at Luigi. "Luigi, why is Anna in our kitchen?"
"Because I invited her to our-a Thanksgiving feast," replied Luigi, too reluctant to provide an answer. "It was the only way she would-a give me that turkey."
Daisy: Thought the plan for Thanksgiving this year was set in stone...it would only be me, Luigi, and Charles at our Thanksgiving dinner, with Yuffie having to mooch off at whatever Thanksgiving dinner she was allowed to attend. I wanted this Thanksgiving to be more of a family affair...but obviously Luigi wanted to have other plans.
"Last week, you complained about me withholding info from you..." Daisy scolded Luigi, remembering how upset her husband was when she never told him about Celica and Rinea's sleepover. "...and look at how the tables have turned!"
"It's not like I had-a much choice in the matter, I had to abide-a by Anna's terms," Luigi did his best to explain, not wishing to make his wife angrier.
"If it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't have been invited to a Thanksgiving dinner by anyone else..." Anna said to Daisy, who was glaring at the merchant like she had murdered Charles in cold blood. "...especially at the mansion."
"Better enjoy this Thanksgiving meal at this house while you can..." Daisy told Anna, angrily pointing at the merchant. "...because you're NEVER invited back to another Thanksgiving dinner at this house ever again."
"I never really planned on coming back here in the future, but...thanks anyways." With the mandate now officially set, Daisy marched away from the kitchen, allowing Luigi to resume his cooking duties.
Thanksgiving was a favorite holiday of Bowser's, because it was the one day in the year where the koopa king could do what it usually does best...adding new names to his world-famous List of Bowser. Since there were a handful of new residents at the mansion this year, Bowser's list could keep on growing.
"Like I said before, you can't go around messing with every thermostat you see," Veronica advised the Luminary in the foyer, as Bowser creeped around the corner. "People use those things, too!"
"But it's hard to keep warm in this mansion," replied the Luminary, as Bowser was soon within speaking distance of the swordsman and Veronica. Had his list and ink pen ready to go. "Not my fault we have to live up north!"
"Does it look like I chose to put this mansion in the pacific northwest? Just be mindful of the others, Luminary...I don't want you to be a nuisance."
"Veronica, why are you constantly chiding that man for?" Bowser snapped on the Keeper, grabbing her attention and the Luminary's as well. "You're not his grandma! You just made the list, you stupid idiot!"
"She's not a stupid idiot, Bowser," the Luminary sternly told the koopa king, who was furiously scribbling down Veronica's name on his list. "She's just teaching me right from wrong..."
"So a grown man like yourself can't make decisions on your own? Is that what you're trying to say?! Luminary, you just made the list too!"
"Let's keep away from that guy..." The Luminary would grab Veronica's hand, and lead her away from Bowser. Bowser kinda resented putting someone like Veronica on his List of Bowser, but he had to do it for the greater good.
"Hey Bowser, what's that list you got there?" asked a curious Jessie as she, James, and Meowth came over to Bowser. The trio was over the koopa king's shoulder, trying to get a look at his list.
"None of your business!" replied Bowser, shielding his list from Team Rocket's eyes. Only he was allowed to see the list. "It's a list that you guys aren't on...yet."
"Is it a list of the best residents in the Smash Mansion?" asked James, who was absolutely full of himself as his eyes were beaming. "We must be at the top of the list, otherwise it would be a tragedy!"
"Ha! The only tragedy I see are you guys existing...now go away!" But go away Team Rocket did not, as they chased Bowser into the nearest hallway.
"Seriously, if you don't add us to that list, it would be the biggest mistake you'll ever make," Meowth did his best to entice Bowser, who at this point had enough. Steam was coming out from the koopa king's ears.
"That is IT!" Bowser immediately snapped on Team Rocket, before wielding his ink pen. "You wanna know what happens when you pester me, and ask me about some list that I'm writing?! Wanna know what happens, when you make assumptions about what said list is?!"
"It means that we have great intuition?" assumed James, before Bowser shook his head at the purple-haired man as he got his ink pen ready.
"No, it means that you're a stupid idiot! And you know what happens when you're a stupid idiot? YOU MAKE IT ON THE LIST!" Bowser jotted down the names of Jessie, James, and Meowth on his list, before angrily walking away.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet cried out as he popped out of his Poke Ball, desperately wanting to be a part of things. He was the kind of Pokemon that would crash a party, especially if he was uninvited.
"Don't worry Wobbuffet, I got your name on the list, too...no need to remind me!"
Jessie: Our first Thanksgiving at the mansion, as residents, and we've made it unto the List of Bowser. Does that mean we've already peaked?
Meowth: We won't know if we peaked yet until we partake in the food fight later. I've heard that every year at the mansion, there would be a large food fight during the Thanksgiving dinner. But if you ask me, the others must start that kind of nonsense just to ham it up for the cameras.
James: But if we want to leave our mark on the mansion, then perhaps we should be on our "best" behavior...how about we ham it up better than anyone else has hammed it before?
Jessie: Oh yes! With smoked ham!
James: And honey ham!
Meowth: And don't forget about glazed ham, with brown sugar!
Wobbuffet: WOOOOOBBUFFET!
Jessie: *frowns at Wobbuffet* Get back in your Poke Ball, you imbecile...
As always, Cilan was in the kitchen cooking food for the Thanksgiving meal. With the connoisseur having baked and cooked all the regular food on the Thanksgiving menu, he moved on to perfecting the desserts. One dessert Cilan had in mind was the bread budding.
"This feels so wrong, yet so right at the same time..." remarked Cilan, as he was making bread crumbs...by mixing around bread in a bowl with a mixer. Sans was looking on, baffled by Cilan's interesting method of making bread crumbs.
"you could say that making bread pudding is very crummy," the skeleton grinned, hoping that Cilan would appreciate his pun. Unfortunately for him, Cilan was simply too frustrated to laugh or smile.
"Sans, if you're going to crack jokes at my expense, then I highly suggest that you take your comedic material elsewhere." Soon Isabelle came inside the kitchen, carrying some pound cake she brought from the tower.
"Here's some pound cake that Tingle made!" the shih tzu announced to Cilan...before the pound cake fell unto the floor. Isabelle just stared at the pound cake, like it would magically return to her hands. "We...we can wash off the bacteria, right?"
"At this rate, this will be our first Thanksgiving without any dessert...knew I should've bought stuff from the store." That would be against your own standards, Cilan. "Our Thanksgiving will be practically ruined!"
"relax, cilan, it's just the morning," Sans assured the connoisseur, as Isabelle started to wash off the slices of pound cake for whatever reason. "so how about you stop worrying about dessert...and start regulating in the dining room?"
"HAND OVER THE BUTTER, AND NOBODY GETS HURT!" King Dedede was heard shouting from the dining room, as Cilan gasped; somebody had to bring some order while breakfast went on.
"Sans, guard the kitchen, I'll be right back..." Cilan told the skeleton, running to the dining room like he had to defuse a giant bomb.
Cilan showed up in the dining room, where despite the discussion among the residents...everything was mostly tranquil. King Dedede, who was shouting earlier, looked perfectly content and smiling as he had his butter and was spreading it on his French toast with a butterknife. But the person seated next to Dedede, Roy, was sporting a bruised black eye.
"Thanks for the butter, Roy!" King Dedede thanked the swordsman, only for Cilan to angrily approach the penguin. Dedede looked at the connoisseur like he did absolutely nothing wrong. "What's with that face, Cilan?"
"I hope you weren't hurting poor Roy here," Cilan frowned at King Dedede, trying to make the penguin feel bad. But Dedede showed no remorse whatsoever. "Thanksgiving should be about brotherly love and compassion, not hurting each other!"
"I thought Thanksgiving was just about stuffing our faces with food and eating everything in sight. With football on the side. Who are you to add morals to holidays were no such morals exist?"
"That sure means a lot, coming from you..." remarked Roy, only to be backhanded by King Dedede. This triggered a fight, as Roy grabbed King Dedede and wrapped his arms around the penguin's neck.
"Stop it, stop it you two!" commanded Cilan as he did his best to stop the fight. But the connoisseur was no match for King Dedede and Roy, as a few of the other residents had to step in and break things up.
"It's only breakfast, and there's already a fight..." Ema Skye told Kamui, as the two ladies were watching the fracas from a fair distance. "...must be a new record for the mansion!"
Cilan was completely exhausted from breaking up the fight in the dining room, rubbing the sweat off his forehead with a white handkerchief. The connoisseur would return to the kitchen to resume making the bread pudding...only to see the goose pulling the oven door open.
"Wh-What are you doing?!" Cilan scolded the goose, who looked at the connoisseur with fear in his eyes. The goose quickly grabbed a turkey out of the oven and ran away with it, dragging it across the kitchen floor.
"Cilan, are you okay?" inquired Terry as he came inside the kitchen, as Cilan leaped for the goose. The connoisseur fell unto the floor, as the goose managed to escape with a turkey in his possession.
"Stupid goose stole our turkey..." Cilan began to pout, as he stood back up on his feet with Terry assisting him. "...and that was our last turkey, too. How are we going to feed everyone now?"
"We have more than three dozen turkeys at our disposal...it's not like it's the end of the world or anything. Get a grip, man!"
Rosalina: As a chef, Cilan usually takes Thanksgiving very seriously. But since he's under the heavy microscope of Master Hand, cooking on Thanksgiving for Cilan is like a matter of life or death. Everything at the Thanksgiving dinner goes well, Master Hand is pleased. Even if we have a very predictable fight at the end. On the flipside, if the dinner turns out to be a disaster, then there's a likelihood of Master Hand roasting Cilan over an open fire. Just the littlest mistake could put Cilan in some pretty deep trouble.
Dunban: Look, I was in charge of Thanksgiving the year before Cilan moved to the mansion, and I gotta say, it was THE most stressful experience of my entire life. Master Hand literally wanted to hire somebody to shoot and kill me in cold blood, just for putting "too much" salt in the dressing. It was only one teaspoon, for crying out loud! It was terrible, I tell you...couldn't come out of my room for two weeks because of how stressed I was.
"But we need all the turkeys, otherwise Master Hand would be deeply upset!" Cilan told Terry, fearful of what Master Hand might do to him. Cooking on Thanksgiving at the mansion was a lot more tasking than it seemed.
"Don't tell me that you fear Master Hand!" Terry said to Cilan in an encouraging manner, as he grabbed the connoisseur's shoulders and shook him silly. "You're Cilan, the greatest cook that has ever lived! Nothing should scare you!"
"The greatest cook that has ever lived? You sure that isn't a hyperbole? Cilan's humble side was clearly showing.
"No, I'm just trying to get you pumped up. Now tell me, are you scared of Master Hand? Because if you ask me, he's the biggest fraud that has ever..."
"What are you two even talking about?" asked Master Hand, as he magically appeared in the kitchen. He saw Terry holding Cilan's shoulders, and was left with more questions than answers.
"N-Nothing, just giving Cilan a Thanksgiving pep talk!" Terry smiled innocently, letting go of Cilan and keeping his hands behind his back. Would've been Terry's last Thanksgiving if Master Hand had heard him earlier.
"Master Hand, Cortex's pet goose stole one of our turkeys!" Cilan told the giant hand; probably should've kept that to himself, to save his own hide, but Master Hand deserved to know the truth. "Stole it right after I broke up a fight during breakfast."
"He did WHAT?!" boomed Master Hand, understandably furious since a stolen turkey meant less mouths to feed. "Thought I told Cortex to discipline that stupid bird. He has no leash on him whatsoever!"
"I'd want to go chase that goose down, but I have to make this bread pudding first. Promised the others that I would make one...why do I make so many promises?"
"Because you're a pushover, that's why..." Master Hand looked towards Cilan's bowl of bread crumbs, and could tell that Cilan had a lot of work ahead of him. "...you can go ahead and finish up on the desserts. I'll find someone else to track down that goose."
Luigi and Daisy were currently at odds, after Daisy had learned that Anna was invited to the Thanksgiving dinner at Luigi's house. By consequence, Yuffie had no choice but to remain at Luigi's household, with Daisy's plans to just have a family Thanksgiving dinner dashed.
Because Anna was invited, Yuffie took it upon herself to invite folks from the mansion and tower over to Luigi's house. So when the ninja girl entered Luigi's abode with Link, Champion Link, Zelda, Researcher Zelda, Cloud, Greninja, Asuka, Kat, and Ana...you could tell that heads were about to roll.
"Come in, come in!" Yuffie told the invited guests as they entered Luigi's home, before closing the door. Only Luigi and Anna were present downstairs, with Daisy nowhere in sight; everything was in the clear for now.
"Hey Luigi, you never told me that you had other guests in mind!" Anna, who was sitting in the living room, alerted the plumber. Luigi, who was washing the dishes, shrieked when he saw the folks that Yuffie had invited.
"Mama mia!" the plumber exclaimed in a panicked tone, as he quickly ran over to Yuffie and company. "Yuffie, you can't just invite-a all these people to our dinner! Daisy doesn't want-a any guests, remember?"
"Well you invited Anna, so it's only fair game at this point," stated Yuffie, as Luigi nervously looked back to make sure that Daisy wasn't around. "It was you who ruined Daisy's ideal Thanksgiving dinner first, not me."
"Look, I only invited Anna just so she could-a give me a turkey. It was the only way to avoid-a setting a turkey on fire again."
"Who's to say that your turkey still won't catch on fire this time around?" asked Cloud, aware of the bad mojo that Luigi usually had on Thanksgiving. "Also, is that smoke coming from your oven?"
"Smoke? What smoke?" Luigi looked at his oven, and saw some smoke coming out from it. The plumber screamed as he ran to the oven and opened it, before grabbing a fire extinguisher and spraying inside said oven.
"There was nothing inside that oven...right?" Asuka asked Luigi, who closed the oven after the deed was done. Luigi let out a sigh of relief, placing the fire extinguisher back where it was.
"Phew...crisis averted. Stupid Koffing, always finding a way inside-a our oven...gets-a on my nerves."
"But we seldom have a Koffing inside our oven to begin with, zzrt," Rotom appeared out of nowhere to make this statement, as Luigi gritted his teeth angrily. "Also, using a fire extinguisher on a Koffing sounds very hazardous."
"Shut up, you'll blow-a my cover..." Luigi muttered to Rotom, through clenched teeth - hopefully the turkey inside the oven was still okay.
Luigi: Yes, the turkey's still-a fine...covered in foam, but it'll still be edible once-a I clean the foam off. The embers are gone, so no turkey will be set-a on fire this year!
As Yuffie and others got themselves comfy in Luigi's living room, Master Hand would show up. The giant hand was looking for someone to take care of the goose, and he knew that Cortex wasn't authoritative enough to get the job done.
"There you guys are, I've been looking all over for you!" Master Hand told Link, Cloud, and everyone else that Yuffie had invited. "The goose took one of our turkeys, and our Thanksgiving dinner would be incomplete without..."
"Hi Master Hand, happy Thanksgiving!" Anna greeted the giant hand, as she smiled and waved at him. Master Hand turned around and saw the merchant, and was screaming out of his mind.
"Luigi, come quick - that evil capitalist is in your house!" Easily the most scared he's ever been, Master Hand was pointing at Anna, visibly shaking as he was struck with utter fear. "Hurry up, before she destroys us all!"
"At-a ease, Master Hand - I invited Anna to our Thanksgiving dinner," Luigi informed the giant hand, who deeply gasped at the plumber. Master Hand hoped that Luigi was telling a cruel joke. "She even gave-a me a turkey!"
"Where is that turkey? That turkey could be poisonous! What about Daisy, does she know that Anna was invited?"
"Yes, Daisy is aware...and she doesn't like it one-a bit." Wasn't that hard for Master Hand to see why. "She's up-a in her room, throwing a fit about it."
"I'd be throwing a fit too, if my spouse invited an evil being like Anna to my Thanksgiving dinner. Now do the right thing, Luigi, and kick Anna out of your house!"
"I believe you were telling us about a goose running amok," Resarcher Zelda said to Master Hand, having enough of the giant hand freaking out over Anna's existence.
"Ah, yes, the goose! How could I forget?" While Master Hand shifted his focus to Researcher Zelda and company, the very presence of Anna left him almost petrified. "Who wants to volunteer and catch that goose for me?
"I got some Sheikan technology that I could use to catch that goose," replied Champion Link, holding up his Sheikah Slate. Always came in handy for tracking down organisms of any kind.
"Great! Anyone else that would like to volunteer?" After Master Hand asked this question, Asuka yawned as she outstretched her arms. "You're on board too, Asuka! Way to take initiative!"
"But, I was just stretching my arms..." said Asuka, as the ninja girl looked confused. Nothing she could do nothing, as the mission was set in stone.
"I expect you two to find that goose and get that turkey back, before the dinner at the mansion starts," Master Hand told Champion Link and Asuka, before redirecting his attention to Luigi. "And I expect you, Luigi, to get rid of that evil capitalist."
"But she gave-a me a turkey," stated Luigi, doing his best to justify his his actions. "I can't just kick-a her out of my house!"
"Yeah, whatever...just remember to do the right thing." And with that, Master Hand vanished away, as Luigi nervously pulled on his collar.
Football was considered a huge part of Thanksgiving dinner, as there was always football played during the holiday. After breakfast was over, residents from both the mansion and the tower were outside, playing some football, with the mansion residents on one team, and the tower residents on the other.
"Alright, so here's the game-plan..." Sonic, the captain of his team, spoke to his teammates - Crash, Dark Pit, Diddy Kong, and Yoshi - in a team huddle. "Crash, you go deep and flank the corners. Dark Pit will run the slot and throw the defenders off-guard. Yoshi will run the run-pass option read. And Diddy..."
"Sonic this is just a fun football scrimmage, we're not professionals," Diddy told the hedgehog, daring to defy the captain. Which almost always led to trouble. "You don't have to go into detail like this."
"I could always kick you off the team if you like..." Not wanting to get the boot, Diddy shut his mouth and kept to himself, only to appease Sonic.
"You ladies done over there?" Shadow called out to Sonic in a taunting manner, standing by with his team of Bomberman, Isaac, Dillon, and Elec Man. "The sooner we start playing, the quicker you'll take your loss in peace!"
Shadow: Usually I hate being challenged to "friendly" competitions, when I have to force myself to work with others and win. But whenever I go up against Sonic, it gives me a strong competitive edge. Turns me into an entirely different animal. Like a wildebeest, or something.
Breaking from their huddle, Sonic's team where ready to play, as they met Shadow's team at the imaginary line of scrimmage. Shadow's team was lined up in a defensive stance, and Sonic's team was on offense, with Diddy ready to snap the ball.
"HIKE!" shouted Diddy, as she snapped the ball to Sonic, who then handed the ball to Yoshi. Yoshi didn't know what to do, standing around as his teammates ran down the field expecting the ball to be thrown to them. So the dinosaur did what he could do best, as he heroically ran down the field...
...only to run into Diddy, colliding against his butt and fumbling the ball. Isaac would quickly snatch up the ball and run the opposite direction, for an easy score.
"Guys, did I score the touchdown yet?" Isaac asked the others, who were checking on Yoshi as the earth adept kept on running. "...guys?"
"You okay, Yoshi?" Bomberman asked the dinosaur, as he and Dark Pit helped him up to his feet. "Sure got a handful of Diddy's...buttocks."
"Uh, I'm fine," replied Yoshi, shaking off his blunder and trying to play it cool. "Me fumbling the ball wasn't that damaging, was it?"
"I mean, your reputation probably took a big hit...but other than that, you're fine," assured Dark Pit, as the others nodded their heads just to make Yoshi feel good. "No pun intended..."
"Hey, where did Isaac run off to?" wondered Sonic, the first person to notice that Isaac had gone missing. "Don't tell me he stole our football..."
With the football game on hold, Sonic and Crash went over to Mario's house, to ask Mario if he had a spare football lying around. Mario would let Sonic and Crash inside his home, where the aroma of Thanksgiving food was in the air.
"You boys can forget about-a your silly football game, and watch-a some football with me," Mario proposed to Sonic and Crash, showing the two friends the football game on his television. "What do you say?"
"No can do, Mario - we got a game to finish," replied Sonic, regrettably turning down Mario's offer. That aroma sure was enticing the hedgehog to stick around. "That Isaac, stealing our footballs..."
"Mario, your pet dog was drinking from the toilet again!" someone called out from the bathroom, alerting Mario; Sonic recognized the voice, as some bad memories were rushing through his head.
"Is that who I think it is...?" Sonic's fears soon came true, as Ruby showed up in the living room carrying Poochy. The hedgehog became agitated upon seeing Ruby, not forgetting what the young lady had done to him in the previous episode.
"Oh, it's you again," Ruby said to Sonic, startled to see the hedgehog. Sonic was glaring down Ruby intensely, like she had stole his lunch money.
"You! You were the one that scribbled my face with makeup at that sleepover!" Wouldn't be much of a surprise if Sonic hated all the ladies from the sleepover after that incident. "What do you have to say for yourself?!"
"I barely even participated to begin with...I thought it was just cruel and mean." Sonic refused to believe Ruby, thinking that she was just saving face.
"Sure, but you standing around and doing nothing was just as bad! You must be the kind of chick that likes being bullied!"
"I'm sorry, what's going on here?" questioned Weiss, coming down the stairs and seeing Sonic in the living room. "Are you...are you that hedgehog from the sleepover?"
"You're darn right I am! And I got some major beef, with you AND her!" Sonic pointed at Weiss, and then at Ruby. Mario had to intervene, or else.
"You got beef with Ruby and Weiss too?" Hunter asked Sonic, walking out from his room; Sonic nodded, as Hunter smiled and gave the hedgehog a high five. "Aw yeah, that's what's up!"
"Can we not?" Mario sternly told Hunter, who held his head down and walked away as he returned to his room.
Hunter: Spyro and I, we're gonna expose Ruby and Weiss...we'll do it during the Thanksgiving dinner, so that everybody can see the light.
"Mario, can you just give us a football already?" Sonic asked the plumber, feeling disgusted to be in the same house as Ruby and Weiss. "Those two ladies are making me feel some type of way..."
"Actually...you two are gonna stay," replied Mario; Crash didn't mind as much, but Sonic greatly objected Mario's decision. "I'll tell the boys outside-a to call off the football game."
"Ew, you want me to stay around with Ruby and Weiss? After what happened to me at the sleepover? Lemme guess, you just want to see my face covered with mascara and lip gloss?"
"Is Thanksgiving not about-a getting along and being friendly, while splurging on-a food?" King Dedede would argue that Thanksgiving was about nothing BUT food. "You and Crash won't-a leave until you get along-a with our guests!"
"Man, this is so unfair...being forced to attend a Thanksgiving dinner is pretty low of you, Mario!" Sonic folded his arms and pouted, as Weiss came over to speak with Ruby in private.
"That...fox will be clean enough for the dinner, right?" Weiss whispered to Ruby as she was looking at Crash, who was busy picking into his ear with his index finger. Had no idea what Crash's species was.
"I don't know...he looks more like a mutated rodent to me..." Ruby whispered back, grimacing at Crash was now eating his earwax.
Wanting to be as close to Krystal as possible before the wedding, Fox decided to join his fiancee for the Thanksgiving dinner at the tower, with Falco offering to come along. The pilot would have to stomach Chef Kawasaki's cooking, but being with Krystal would make up for everything...well, almost everything.
"I've learned a lot from Cilan during Thanksgiving last year," Chef Kawasaki spoke with Fox and Falco, who were hanging around in the kitchen. "He gave me some really good pointers to make my food the best it can possibly be."
"So does that mean you didn't soak all your food in fat this time?" asked Fox, as Chef Kawasaki shook his head; both Fox and Falco let out sighs of relief.
"Thankfully I found a substitute for fat...melted better!" Chef Kawasaki giddily grabbed a pot of melted butter and showed it to Fox and Falco, who were both left at a loss for words. "Cilan did say that butter makes the world go around..."
"This might be my last Thanksgiving meal..." As Fox braced himself for an inevitable heart attack, Falco would faceplant unto the floor in response to Chef Kawasaki's cooking ability...or the lack thereof.
Chef Kawasaki would have to change his cooking method soon, as Bowser came around the corner and made his way inside the kitchen. Using melted butter for all his food would make Kawasaki an easy addition to the List of Bowser.
"Falco why are you on the floor man, don't you know that it's full of germs and bacteria?" Bowser scolded the avian pilot, who sprung back up on his feet. "You just made the list!"
"Uh, sorry, I must've slipped," apologized Falco, as Bowser wrote down the pilot's name on his list. "Wait, wasn't I on your list already?"
"Don't make me write your name again..." Frowning at Falco, Bowser would move on to Chef Kawasaki, who was holding his pot of melted butter. "...what's with the melted butter?"
"Um, that's a very good question..." stammered Chef Kawasaki, sweating nervously, for he did not wish to make it unto the List of Bowser. It would be heavily damaging to his confidence.
"Chef Kawasaki used that melted better to soak his food," Fox explained to Chef Kawasaki, who was now even more nervous as he hid his face behind his pot. The chef was definitely gonna be on the list now.
"Is this true, Chef Kawasaki?" Bowser would ask the chef for confirmation, as Chef Kawasaki was shivering in fear. "Do you want to kill off everyone at the tower or something?"
"I just...wanted to do what Cilan told me..." Chef Kawasaki nervously replied, with the sweat pouring down his body like a waterfall. Bowser was now convinced...
"Well why didn't you say so? And here I thought that you were a mass murderer!" Bowser laughed as he wrapped his arm around Chef Kawasaki, and Kawasaki would laugh along as his nervousness dissipated. "Still going on the list, though."
"AW DANG IT!" Chef Kawasaki would react by tossing his pot of melted butter backwards, on the floor...narrowly missing the goose, who was grabbing some spices from a kitchen cabinet and walking away. What was that goose planning...?
Chef Kawasaki: Being on the List of Bowser can't possibly be THAT bad. I mean, there's plenty of other losers that made it unto the list, too. *pauses* Probably meant to say winners...
"Fox, you're going on the list too, for being a liar," Bowser told the pilot, as he scribbled his name on the list. "Remember, Fox, lying is wrong!"
"Sounds pretty ironic, coming from a guy like you..." remarked Fox, as Bowser left the kitchen. Bowser would soon walk into Krystal, who was about to see her fiance.
"Very despicable of you to be engaged to a serial liar." Bowser had no sympathy for Krystal, as he wrote the vixen's name on his list. "Have fun being a stupid idiot!"
"Pot calling the kettle black much?" remarked Krystal, with a giant smirk on her face; Bowser glared down the vixen as he walked away.
The goose was carrying a few bottles of spices in his mouth, as he walked through the tower. Champion Link and Asuka were both spying on the goose, poking their heads out from a doorway.
"Doesn't look like the goose has the turkey with him..." observed Champion Link, who was able to track the goose's every step with his Sheikah Slate. "...he must want to season the turkey, with those spices."
"Nice one, Captain Obvious..." replied Asuka, rolling her eyes as the goose made a sharp turn in the corner of the hallway. "...but where would the turkey be?"
"Somewhere outside, I assume. That goose must have a hiding place. Might even have other food there, who knows."
"Who said that you could be in my room?" Waluigi confronted Champion Link and Asuka...while wearing a turkey outfit. Champion Link and Asuka were trying to stifle their laughter. "Please ignore the costume, I lost a bet..."
"Nice outfit..." snorted Champion Link, as he and Asuka left the room. Waluigi would enter his room, heaving a sigh as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Master Hand was devastated to the core upon learning that Anna was invited to Luigi's Thanksgiving dinner. The giant hand didn't know if Luigi had lost his marbles, or Anna duped the plumber into inviting her. Either way, Master Hand desired for Anna to be off Luigi's property at once.
With Anna still weighing in his mind, Master Hand was pacing back and forth in his room, with Isabelle looking on. Someone knocked on the door, and Isabelle answered it and saw Joker standing by.
"Hi Joker!" Isabelle happily greeted the young man, letting him inside the room. "You came here to speak with Master Hand? You might wanna come another time."
"What's the matter with him?" Joker asked Isabelle concerning Master Hand, who was pacing back and forth at an increased pace. "I've never seen him like this..."
"It's Anna, the merchant woman from the food market; Luigi invited her to his Thanksgiving dinner, and Master Hand's over here acting like Luigi had brought in Jeffrey Epstein."
"I need to speak with him just for a brief moment. It won't be long." So Isabelle looked over at Master Hand, and whistled loudly to get the giant hand's attention.
"Whuzzat?" said Master Hand as he stopped pacing, before he saw Joker in his room. "Ah, Joker! Care to do me a favor? I need you to say a prayer for Luigi and his family. And his guests, too."
"Actually, Master Hand, I wanted to speak with you about my friends," responded Joker, as he approached the giant hand. "Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei. Are they allowed to attend the Thanksgiving dinner today?"
"I would've, since their punishment's supposed to end today...but, since they dealt with Anna, they'll be punished until midnight. That'll teach them a lesson!"
"Where are those three serving their punishment at? I just wanted to speak with them, that's all..." Joker had a clear ulterior motive, one that he could not tell Master Hand straight-up.
"They're at the Yiga Clan hideout, doing some orders for Master Kohga. That's where they're serving their punishment, at the hideout. I'm sure that they're just dying for their punishment to end!"
"At the Yiga Clan hideout? Got it. Thanks, Master Hand." Joker would leave Master Hand's room, now aware of what he must do.
Joker: No way am I celebrating Thanksgiving without three of my best pals. Master Hand may keep them away from the dinner, but I'll do whatever I can to bring them back. Maybe I could also prove to Master Hand that Anna isn't that bad of a person, but that isn't on the top of my priority. Another time, perhaps...
As always, guests were invited to the mansion to be a part of the Thanksgiving dinner. Some of those guests included Cranky Kong, Adeleine, Blaze the Cat, Nina Cortex, and Dr. Brio, along many others. Cranky and Brio were in the living room with a few residents, watching a football game between the Buffalo Bills...and the Dallas Cowboys.
"Did you know that the wretched author of this wretched story likes the Buffalo Bills?" Cranky asked those watching the game, trying his hardest not to flex. "I have insider information that none of you peons have..."
"D-D-Did you also know that I invented the Buffalo Bills?" asked Brio, in a almost bragging matter. Gotta wonder how many patents the man had. "And the Dallas Cowboys as well? I practically founded both teams! Not to mention owning both of them!"
"Oh really then, how much is your net worth?" asked Samus, putting Brio on the spot; Brio didn't know what to say, biting his nails as he thought of an answer.
"I can't just outright tell you - that's confidential stuff! A wise multimillionaire never tells anyone their true net worth."
"Is your truth net worth insecurity and inferiority?" questioned Meta Knight, as everyone was now taking shots at Brio. Highly unnecessary shots, at that.
"I'm greatly disappointed in you guys...watching the Cowboys of all teams on Thanksgiving," Bowser shook his head as he entered the living room, looking for more folks to add to his ever-growing list. "You guys have no shame!"
"Not like we have a choice in the matter, Bowser," stated Chrom, who unlike Bowser knew how NFL schedule makers did things. "Cowboys on Thanksgiving is a tradition. After all, the Cowboys are America's Team."
"You still think that they're America's Team? Then that means you truly hate America! Congratulations, Chrom, you just made the list!" Bowser wrote down Chrom's name, even though Chrom might've been on the list already.
"I got another name you could add to the list," Shulk said to Bowser, who was now all ears as Shulk pointed at Brio. "Dr. Nitrous Brio...he's convinced that he owns two pro football teams!"
"Thirty-two pro football teams," corrected Brio; owning thirty-two football teams? Brio would be the most stressed man alive if that were true. "Invented every single one of them!"
"Well, unless you're a centenarian, or a man worth more than Jeff Bezos...then you're a stupid idiot! And you know what happens to stupid idiots?"
"They soon come to realize that their very existence is futile?" Bowser shook his head no to Brio's response, as he got his ink pen ready.
"Even worse...what happens is, you make it unto the List of Bowser!" Bowser wrote down Brio's name on his list, and Brio was greatly upset.
"N-N-No fair! You can't add me to that list, I invented it! You can't just add the inventor to the list, it would be pointless!"
"You invented this list, huh? Well how about you prove it then?" Instead of proving himself, Brio took out his ray gun and fired a shot at Bowser, nailing him in the face. Bowser winced in pain and dropped his list, as Brio scooped up the list and took off.
"Who's the stupid idiot n-n-now?" Brio would taunt Bowser as he left the living room. By the time Bowser recovered, Brio was long gone.
"Where did that loser? And where's my list? Ooh, don't tell me he stole it when he had the chance..."
As much as Nina loved her dear uncle Cortex, the goth girl refused to attend a Thanksgiving dinner with Brio. So with the opportunity presented itself, Nina escaped from the mansion and went over to Mario's house, where she found a few familiar faces...the Crash clan.
"Dang Crash, I didn't know that you had a human girlfriend," Sonic told the bandicoot, who was being hugged tightly by Nina. Crash was looking around the living room, feeling very awkward. "Some great taste you got there!"
"Ah, your fur is still as soft as I remember it..." Nina told Crash, with a smile, as the Crash clan was looking on. Coco, Crunch, and Aku...they were all feeling as awkward as Crash was.
"Nina, can you please stop hugging my brother?" Coco kindly asked the goth girl, who responded by giving the bandicoot a death glare. "It's making Crash and the rest of us...very uncomfortable."
"Why don't you just shut up..." Coco and Nina never played nice with each other, and their interaction just now was a great indicator.
Nina: Don't get it twisted, I still have some disdain for Crash (not as much as Uncle Cortex), but I really wanted to hug Crash... *smiles evilly* ...just so I could give him a swell Thanksgiving gift. *holds up empty jar, labeled "fleas"* Crash will be the center of attention during Mario's dinner...and for all the wrong reasons.
Sonic: Mario is forcing me to attend a Thanksgiving dinner with Ruby and Weiss, so to counter that, Crash and I invited a few of our friends to offset Ruby and Weiss' presence. Nina is arbitrary, but the others will help lessen the blow.
"How do you want the silverware, Mario?" Peach asked Mario, as she was arranging things on the table in the dining area. "Fork, spoon, and knife?"
"Spoon, fork, and-a knife, in that order," stated Mario, who was putting on a few finishing touches on his macaroni and cheese. Gotta make it extra special for his dinner guests. "The fork and the knife should always-a be together!"
"You're a terrible husband, Mario - making your wife do all the work!" Sonic called out the plumber. "Why not make your two special guests do the work instead?"
"Mario wants to make them feel entitled!" Hunter shouted from his room, loud enough so that everyone could hear the "truth".
"We're actually doing work right now..." stated Ruby, who was on dish-cleaning duty with Weiss; Ruby scrubbed the dishes, while Weiss rinsed them off. "...we volunteered to make Mario's job easier."
"STILL ENTITLED!" Hunter had a pretty big grudge against Ruby and Weiss, and it didn't look like it would go away anytime soon.
"Please-a be on your best-a behavior, Sonic," Mario encouraged the hedgehog, once he was done sprucing up his mac and cheese. "Today isn't the right-a day for starting drama."
"You started it first!" Having enough of Hunter's remarks, Mario angrily ran into the cheetah's room, pointing a knife at Hunter and scaring him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
As of now, Daisy had no idea about the guests that Yuffie had brought over, for she was beside herself in her room. Thankfully, the princess didn't hear any commotion from downstairs, even with Master Hand around.
Luigi did not wish for Daisy to know what was up, so he tasked Link and Cloud with hanging around upstairs and making sure that Daisy doesn't leave her room. Pretty boring task, but it had to be done...
"First time that Luigi hasn't burned his turkey since moving out," remarked Link, astonished at the very words that came straight out from his mouth. "That should be some kind of personal accomplishment!"
"I bet you he burned the turkey already, and is too chicken to tell us," Cloud said to Link, as he got the Hylian thinking. "Usually how Luigi rolls."
"What if...the turkey was burnt when Luigi's oven was smoking? If that were the case, then the Thanksgiving dinner is ruined!"
"Daisy thought that the dinner was ruined the moment Anna showed up, so that would mean everything would just come together. Don't know why Daisy is against having guests over..."
Speaking of Daisy, the princess left from her room, having gotten over Luigi inviting Anna. She saw Link and Cloud standing by, and was left confused.
"What are you boys doing here?" Daisy asked the two swordsman, very skittish as her left eye twitched. The princess was gonna snap at any given minute.
"Uh...we just wanted to come here and wish you...a happy Thanksgiving!" replied Link, who was all smiles as Cloud nodded his head convincingly. Daisy let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew, for a minute I thought that Luigi had invited another guest or two over to our house. Having one guest was already enough!"
"Give Ana back her katana, Polterpup!" Kat was heard yelling from downstairs, as Daisy suddenly got all suspicious. The princess looked over the staircase, having recognized Kat's voice.
"Those ninja girls better have come here to wish me happy Thanksgiving too.." As Daisy frowned, Link would approach the princess from behind...
...and hit her in the head with a frying pan he found on the floor, knocking out Daisy. The princess immediately went unconscious, falling backwards unto the floor.
"Link why did you do that for?!" Cloud scolded his best friend in a whispering tone, keeping his voice low. Didn't want to garner Luigi's attention, for all the right reasons.
"Had to do what I had to do, to save all our butts," replied Link, as he placed the frying pan back on the floor where it originally was. "Also, it's not my fault that Daisy had a frying pan lying around."
"Oh, Daisy!" Luigi called out to his wife, as Link and Cloud got nervous. Learning that Daisy was knocked out would greatly devastate Luigi. "Are you still angry with-a me? You can come down-a stairs if you like!"
"Crap, how are we gonna play off Daisy's unconsciousness during the dinner?" Cloud asked Link, realizing that he and Linkk would have to eat food AND operate an unconscious Daisy at the same time. "We can't let Luigi and the others know."
"I'll operate Daisy's movements and whatnot, while you can speak for Daisy," replied Link; Cloud was very much against the Hylian's plan, as he frowned. "You could do a better job than I can."
"Yeah, I highly doubt it...but why can't you do it instead? I don't think I have a high-pitched voice that could mimic Daisy's."
"While that may be true, you did dress up in drag once...that has to account for something." Cloud hated it whenever someone brought up that experience.
"I hate you so much right now..." Cloud grumbled at Link, having to be reminded of a very bad memory.
Champion Link and Asuka were now outside, hiding behind Luigi's house. They saw the goose, crossing the street with a few herbs in his mouth.
"First the spices, and now the herbs..." observed Champion Link, as he scratched his chin in deep thought. "...that goose must definitely be trying to spruce up the turkey, with some special stuff."
"I believe that was firmly established a while ago..." Asuka told Champion Link with a frown of her face, as the goose waddled off to who-knows-where.
"honestly surprised that the goose crossed the street, knew he wasn't chicken," remarked Sans, who was standing behind Champion Link and Asuka. Both were startled, as they jumped back from Sans.
Sans: a whole lotta fowl play, what with a turkey being stolen and all. but i'm just glad that nobody hasn't stolen the sweet potato pie. that stuff is just too a-peeling to be stolen, if you ask me.
"Aren't you such a wise guy..." Champion Link told Sans, as he and Asuka composed themselves after Sans' brief scare. "...a wise guy like yourself might know where the goose is keeping that turkey at."
"bet you haven't tried the yiga clan hideout yet," said Sans; Champion Link felt stupid for not snooping around the hideout earlier. "they don't call that place a hideout for a reason, you know..."
"Then it's off to the hideout we go!" So Champion Link grabbed Asuka's hand, and took off for the Yiga Clan hideout. Better find that turkey soon.
"wish cilan had some cranberry sauce at the dinner today," Sans had this to say, as he walked off. "that stuff sure is my jam!"
Joker, Haru, Makoto, and Morgana were at the Yiga Clan hideout, planning to break out Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei. The group would eventually find the three troublemakers, stuffing bananas into crates. But when Joker asked the three about returning to the mansion...
"...what do you mean, you guys want to stay here?" a very baffled Joker asked Ryuji and company, after the three had turned him down. Apparenlty the three troublemakers were intent with where they were.
"This place is the absolute BOMB!" grinned Ryuji, who was acting like he was on cloud nine. A Yiga clansman walked by, and Ryuji gave him a high five. "Light years better than the mansion!"
"I don't understand, I thought that you hated being away from the mansion," said Haru, greatly shocked by the amount of candor that Ryuji was currently expressing. "What changed, Ryuji?"
"I can tell you guys one thing - Master Kohga is way, way better than Master Hand," stated Junpei, saying a remark that would likely get him killed if he said it on mansion grounds. "Always considerate, and never spites us for anything!"
"Is that true, Master Kohga?" Joker asked the leader of the Yiga Clan, who was walking by sniffing from a bowl of collard greens. Gotta make sure all the food was perfect for the Yiga Clan's second Thanksgiving meal.
"What's true? That I'm the most awesome and caring leader of men to have ever existed?" Master Kohga asked Joker, as he had his mostly ginormous ego stroked. "You better believe that I am!"
"Master Kohga quickly took us under our wing, and has treated us with respect," explained Yosuke, as Master Kohga nodded his head very proudly. "He's actually cares for us, unlike Master Hand!"
"Master Hand still cares for you guys, too," stated Makoto; Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei looked at the brunette funny, before bursting into laughter. "Granted he might not show it at times, but..."
"Oh man, don't tell me that Master Hand brainwashed you into believing that crap..." giggled Junpei, wiping away a tear from his eye as Master Kohga was also laughing along. "...that is RICH!"
"Sure you guys don't want to come over to the mansion, for the Thanksgiving dinner?" Joker asked Ryuji and company, giving them their last chance to leave the Yiga Clan hideout. "Gonna miss out on Cilan's great cooking."
"Your friends are perfectly content here, Joker," stated Master Kohga, as he handed the bowl of collard greens to a nearby Yiga clansman. "Just let them be!"
"Yeah, we don't wanna celebrate Thanksgiving anywhere near Master Hand," said Yosuke, making things abundantly clear for Joker and company. "We'd much rather celebrate the holiday with the Yiga Clan instead."
"Well have it your way then..." sighed Joker as he walked away, seeing that Ryuji and company were staying put. Haru, Makoto, and Morgana had no choice but to follow after Joker, leaving three of their pals behind.
It was Marth and Caeda's first Thanksgiving together at their house, and the couple invited several Fire Emblem folks to their home. Namely Chrom and his family, Ike, Soren, Corrin's family, and a couple of members of the Red Eagles, Golden Deer, and Blue Lions houses. One of the guests wasn't of Fire Emblem fame, but invited themselves anyways...
"Did you know that I was the one who invented Thanksgiving?" Brio spoke with Soren, Xander, and Edelgard in Marth's living room. "I was in charge of the first Thanksgiving feast." The inventor was holding unto the List of Bowser, and was keeping away from Bowser himself.
"Then you must know everyone who participated in the dinner, by name," assumed Edelgard, unsure of why she was even entertaining Brio's shenanigans.
"Some of their names escape me at the moment, but I can tell you that they were great company. The nicest people to have dinner with!"
"C'mon Soren, you should've claimed that you started Thanksgiving first, before Brio could!" Ike told his best friend, as he aggressively slapped the wind sage's back. "Don't let Brio flex on you like that!"
"So basically you want me to tell a high tale to make people fascinated with me..." said Soren, who didn't like the fact that Brio was around. Just having to look at the inventor's giant head was unnerving to Soren.
"EXACTLY! You would be the cream of the crop, the most interesting guy in this house! Trying to build you up, man..."
Bowser: That Brio is officially the biggest stupid idiot of all time, for stealing my list like that...once I got my list back, I'm gonna write Brio's name between every other name, in caps, to emphasize how much of a buffoon he is.
"The Hoshidan folks haven't shown up yet," Caeda spoke with Marth, watching as Corrin and Kamui were hanging out with their family from Nohr. "Could be a good thing, since we invited the Nohrian family..."
"Got a feeling that Ryouma and his siblings will show up soon, regardless," remarked Marth, before there was a knock at the door. "Ah, that must be them!" The hero-king bustled his way through the crowd, before opening the front door...
...and seeing Bowser standing by. Bowser entered Marth's house, showing Marth to the side as he angrily confronted Brio.
"FOUND YOU!" the koopa king bellowed, as he grabbed Brio and held him up in the air by his collar. "Give me back my list, or else!"
"I r-r-r-refuse to give you back something that I invented!" retorted Brio, reaching for Bowser's hands as Marth and company came over. "Let go of me!"
"Why are you two fighting for?" questioned Dimitri, as the Blue Lions leader was standing around with his second-in-command Dedue. "Fighting over a list...?"
"Not just any list - the greatest list known to man!" stated Bowser, as he slammed Brio against the wall and knocked a picture frame down to the floor. "This bozo wants to take my credit!"
"I think you mean that you want to take my credit," Brio would clarify for Bowser, before showing the koopa king the list. Bowser would gasp deeply when he saw the list's title...and saw his name crossed out.
"The List of Brio?!" Bowser saw Brio's name underneath his, as he dropped Brio to the floor in shock. He then took the list from Brio, just so he could stare at the title. "How could you do this, man?!"
"Don't just look at the title...look at the names." Looking through the list, Bowser noticed that there were more names added to the list than before.
"No fair, you added a bunch of people's names to the list before I could! Why did you have to do that for?"
"Because everyone in this putrid world is a stupid idiot. And I should know...because I invented every single one of them!"
"Why would a smart guy like yourself invent stupid idiots for?" Raven would ask Brio this very rhetorical question. "Doesn't sound very much like you."
"Sh-Sh-Shut your mouth, stupid idiot that I invented!" Brio angrily pointed at Raven, before pointing at Bowser. "As for you...why don't you buzz off?"
"Fine then..." Bowser angrily responded, admitting defeat as he left Marth's home, not even bothering to close the front door. He was in a very sour mood.
Joker and pals were about to head out of the Yiga Clan hideout, despondent that Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei refused to return to the mansion. Joker was the most upset out of all, since he won't be enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner with his main man, Ryuji.
"Those three staying at the hideout better only be temporary..." mumbled Makoto, with Joker looking for a way out. Accidentally took a wrong turn. "...they can't stay around here forever."
"They seem to favor Master Kohga a lot, for whatever reason," said Joker, deciding to let bygones be bygones. No point in convincing Ryuji and company further. "That's their choice, so we just have to..."
Joker suddenly came to a stop, as he saw Champion Link and Asuka from a distance. The Hylian and ninja girl were perched on the ground, looking at something through an opening in some rocks.
"What is it, Joker?" Haru asked the young man, who stepped closer to Champion Link and Asuka. He knelt down next to the Hylian and the ninja girl, resting his chin on his fist.
"Hey Joker, check that out..." Champion Link whispered to the young man, as he pointed through the opening provided in-between the rocks. Joker looked through the opening...
...and saw Pit and Viridi, having a Thanksgiving picnic all by themselves. There was ham, rice, green beans, casserole, and most importantly, the turkey...which was provided by the goose, who was standing by. Watching out for intruders.
"Thanks for having this Thanksgiving picnic with me, Pit," thanked Viridi, who was still losing her hair thanks to Ashley's curse. Her ponytail was nearly gone. "You really are a great boyfriend!"
"Are you sure this is such a good idea?" Pit asked Viridi, while he ate a spoonful of some casserole. "Eating alone, by ourselves, near the Yiga Clan?"
"I would, but Master Hand wouldn't let me attend; all because of my xenophobia. At this point, I don't even know if he'll let me partake in Secret Santa!"
"Ah, forget about Master Hand! Hmm, now that I think about it...we should've had Thanksgiving dinner with Mario."
"I can't let Mario and the others see me like this, with how my hair is..." Never before in her life has Viridi cared so much about her hair. "They would laugh at me!"
"You don't know that to be true - you're just blowing this hair loss thing out of proportion."
"HONK HONK!" the goose honked, leading Pit to assume that he was agreeing with him...even though the bird was honking at a caterpillar walking by.
"See, even the goose agrees with me! He was the one who brought us that turkey, so obviously he knows better than us."
Viridi: I couldn't bring myself to steal a turkey for my own private Thanksgiving, so I got the goose to do the dirty work for me. Could have gotten Pit, but he would've burnt his head during the turkey heist. Or skin his knee. One or the other!
"This is where the stolen turkey was, this whole time," Champion Link explained to Joker and pals, as Pit and Viridi had already consumed one half of the turkey. "Viridi wanted one for her own private dinner!"
"Seems fairly understandable," said Haru as she looked at Joker...only to realize that Joker was no longer there. "Joker? Joker! Where'd you go?"
"Hello you two, sorry to interrupt..." Joker told Pit and Viridi, as the young man showed up to their picnic. The goose went on defense mode, honking at Joker and trying to intimidate him. "...mind if I take a seat?"
"Uh...sure!" replied Viridi, surprised to see Joker, as Joker sat down on the ground. The young man was pecked repeatedly by the goose, but it didn't faze him. "Didn't expect you to find us here."
"My friends and I came to the Yiga Clan hideout to get Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei for the Thanksgiving dinner at the mansion. But it seems like those three want to stay put, and celebrate Thanksgiving...here."
"So they want to have a Thanksgiving dinner with nothing but turkey and bananas?" questioned Pit, wondering where Ryuji and company's priorities were. "Sounds like a pretty lame dinner to me!"
"Pit you literally had a Thanksgiving dinner with popcorn, buttered toast, and jelly beans two years ago," stated Viridi; that was also the Thanksgiving where Pit and Viridi paraded around with a Mandibuzz. "You have no room to talk!"
"I don't want to have dinner without three of my pals, so...I was thinking that maybe you could deter Ryuji and the others from the hideout. What do you say?"
"I know a good trick or two to drive humans away..." Viridi had a devious smile on her face, as she rubbed her hands together. "...when do we start?"
Mario and company were now having their Thanksgiving dinner, with Mario and his guests gathered around the table. Sonic and Crash had invited more people over to Mario's house - Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Captain Falcon, Nowi, Nah, Piranha Plant, and Petey Piranha, to name a few - with Mario's permission.
"Nowi, could you pass me the salt?" Sonic asked the half-Manakete, as he was eating his turkey. "This turkey leg could use a little more spice!"
"Why can't you just ask Ruby to pass the salt for you?" asked Peach, who was cutting her ham with a fork and knife. Always ate like a princess. "She's closer to the salt than Nowi is."
"I would, but I prefer Nowi to do it. I trust her more." Sonic sure put his trust in the wrong person, as Nowi reached over Spyro's food to reach the salt shaker.
"Since you're a dragon person, I'll let this pass..." a ticked off Spyro said to Nowi, who handed the salt to Sonic.
"Glad you didn't mind!" smiled Nowi, as she reached over to pinch Spyro's cheek. Spyro felt embarrassed, as he tried to hold in his fire breath.
"Still trying to wrap my head around why those two were invited," Weiss told Mario, while pointing at Piranha Plant and Petey Piranha. Both plants had devoured their food, and were both all smiles as they rubbed their stomachs.
"Don't ask me, Crash was the one-a who invited them," replied Mario, before taking a sip of some eggnog that Peach wanted to save for Christmas. The plumber had his way eventually. "Plant-a lives matter, I guess..."
"So you invited those plants over, Crash?" Weiss would ask the bandicoot, who was doing more scratching than eating. "Is there something wrong, Crash?"
"Ah, he must have an allergic reaction to the food," assumed Captain Falcon with a smile, as Crash was scratching all over his body. Nina was looking on, stealthily grinning from ear to ear...
Luigi had yet to start his Thanksgiving dinner, for he and the others were waiting on Link, Cloud, and Daisy to come down. Three empty chairs were present in the dining area, around the table.
"Daisy, are you and the boys-a coming down yet?" Luigi called out to his wife, only to be met with no response. Which made the plumber very concerned.
"Coming!" Daisy squealed from upstairs, although it hardly sounded like Daisy at all. Soon Daisy came down the stairs, but there was something up...the princess was being helped down the stairs by Link and Cloud, who looked like they were escorting a paralyzed person. Daisy was still knocked out.
"What's up with Daisy?" asked Anna, as Link and Cloud helped the princess over to the table and sat her down. Some eyes were painted over Daisy's eyelids, and they weren't even convincing enough.
"I'm okay! Everything is okay!" Cloud would speak for Daisy, speaking in a high-pitched voice with his hand over his mouth, while Link controlled Daisy's hand movements with strings attached to Daisy's arms.
"Nice of you to join-a us, sweetheart!" gleamed Luigi, somehow oblivious to the fact that Daisy was knocked out, as the others seated at the table were whispering among themselves. "Cloud, would you like-a to say a prayer, before we dig-a in?"
Cloud: *shows an unconscious Daisy to the camera* We painted some eyes over Daisy's eyelids, and we attached a few strings to her arms to direct Daisy's arm movements. If the others see us through, we're screwed...but we're gonna be screwed regardless.
After Cloud said a brief prayer, Luigi and company started eating. Directing Link's hands, Link tried to force a piece of dressing inside Daisy's mouth, while trying to open the princess' mouth at the same time.
"Silly Daisy, you can't eat the dressing like that!" Ana told the unconscious princess, as Link kept pushing the piece of dressing against Daisy's closed mouth. "You gotta open your mouth."
"I'm well aware, dear...I was doing that to see if any of you would notice," Cloud would speak for Daisy with a hand over his mouth, as he felt his vocal chords straining. The swordsman glared at Link, silently telling the Hylian to stop.
"Your eyes aren't blinking, Daisy," Zelda alerted the princess, the first to know that Daisy was knocked out; she wanted to see how long Link and Cloud could possibly keep up with the act. "Something wrong with your eyes?"
"I like to keep my eyes open, all the time. All the better to see this delicious food..." At this point, Cloud was making Daisy sound like the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood...only a matter of time until Luigi caught on.
Gerudo Ganon was watching football on television in the living room with a few guests - B.D. Joe, Adeleine, and Silver the Hedgehog, to name a few - when Bowser angrily showed up. The koopa king was still bitter with Brio.
"Look at you, getting all angry..." Gerudo Ganon said to Bowser, who was feeling so angry that he wanted to punch hole through a wall. Didn't matter one bit how big the hole was. "...where's your dumb list?"
"Let's make one thing clear - my list is NOT dumb," clarified Bowser, very offended as he had to put Gerudo Ganon in his place. "Also, that stupid Dr. Brio stole my list, and renamed it the 'List of Brio'!"
"If only one of us actually cared..." remarked Silver, as he continued to stare at the television screen. Bowser wanted to punch the hedgehog in the face.
"How can I get my list back? Marth probably won't let me back inside his home, after the scene I had made. Perhaps I should sneak in through his chimney! If Santa Claus can do it, then I can!"
"Or you could just vent your frustrations, and talk trash about others...in a different way," Gerudo Ganon enticed Bowser, wrapping his arm around the koopa king. "How about you deliver everyone...a roast?"
"It's too late to give everyone roast beef..." Suddenly Bowser's eyes grew wide, when he realized what Gerudo Ganon was talking about. "...are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"Uh huh..." The smile on Gerudo Ganon increased by tenfold, as the Gerudo nodded his head.
Over at the Yiga Clan hideout, the Yiga Clan were ready to begin their Thanksgiving feast. But first, Master Kohga had to give Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei a little token of his appreciation.
"I can't thank you boys enough for helping me and the Clan out, over the past few weeks," the Yiga Clan leader told Ryuji and company, speaking in front of a long table with food where Yiga clansmen were gathered.
"No, you should be thanking Master Hand, for sending us here as our punishment," stated Ryuji, who was excited for whatever gift Master Kohga was giving to him and his friends. "Turns out that 'punishment' was the best thing ever for us!"
"Indeed...and so, for your hard work, I want to award you all, with this!" Soon three Yiga blademasters showed up, each one carrying a tray with a turkey on it. "One turkey, for each of you!"
"Our very own turkey?!" exclaimed Yosuke, with Ryuji and Junpei sharing his excitement. No way were those three gonna leave the hideout now. "Awesome!"
Before Yosuke and company could get their hands on the turkey, they heard some loud screaming coming from afar. Sounded like someone was dying.
"FIRE! FIRE! WILDFIRE AFOOT, WILDFIRE AFOOT!" the person was heard screaming, as everyone save for Master Kohga got scared.
"Calm down everyone, there's no fire..." Master Kohga did his best to soothe everyone, with fear in the area at all-time high. "...I don't even smell any smoke!"
"We're all gonna die!" a random Yiga clansman shouted, screaming at the top of his lungs as his fellow clansmen were now running about. The food was knocked over, as the Clan was in a frenzy.
"No, stop, this is just a false alarm!" Even the blademasters holding the turkeys were caught in the frenzy, as they dropped the turkeys and were running for their lives. Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei, not wanting to risk their lives, were retreating.
Pit: Viridi told me that humans hate it when chaos and disorder disrupts normalcy or something like that, so I flew over the hideout undetected and started screaming about how there was a wildfire. Now I'm convinced that Viridi and Joker Link are the same person...
"Where are you boys going, you forgot your turkeys!" Master Kohga called out to the retreating Ryuji and company; the turkeys were on the ground, they were a lost cause now.
"Screw the turkeys, we're outta here!" shouted Junpei, as he and his friends ran away. Master Kohga fell down to his knees, as his Yiga underlings were running and screaming all around him.
Champion Link and Asuka were hiding behind some rocks with Viridi, Joker, and his pals, watching a few clansmen run by. Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei were running among the clansmen.
"Pit certainly did the trick..." remarked Champion Link, watching everyone running for their lives, before the goose approached the Hylian. Champion Link looked down, and saw that the goose had brought a half-eaten turkey. "...eh, you can keep the turkey."
Crash was still scratching his fur, and it was causing a bevy of problems for Mario and the others at their dinner. Those sitting close to Crash had to keep away from the bandicoot, for their own safety.
"Mario, I think that Crash should leave," Peach told her husband, while Crash was scratching away like it was the only thing he knew how to do. "He's gonna get fur all over the food!"
"No, I think that Crash should stay," objected Sonic, refusing to be around his best buddy. Especially with Ruby and Weiss around. "His fur is just very scratchy today."
"You just don't want Crash to leave because he's your crutch," said Ruby, as Sonic shot a quick glare at the young woman. "Is it true?"
"Totally untrue, you know nothing!" Sonic immediately stood up on the table, as he pointed at Ruby. "You think you're a know-it-all, huh?!"
"Tell 'em, Sonic!" encouraged Hunter, who was patiently waiting for the moment that he and Spyro would "expose" Ruby and Weiss.
"Sonic, get down-a from my table this instant!" Mario barked at the hedgehog, as Crash fell out of his chair and unto the floor and scratched away.
"I will, but only until Ruby changes her attitude." Before Ruby could even change anything, Hunter arose from his seat.
"Guys, I think it's about time that Spyro and I expose Ruby and Weiss for the frauds that they are," the cheetah spoke, in a formal tone; Spyro couldn't care less. "It's painfully obvious to us that..."
"Ew, are those FLEAS?!" grimaced Amy, when she looked down and saw fleas all over Crash's body. The pink hedgehog shrieked, as she got away from the table. "How gross! Get Crash away from me!"
Nina: Heh heh...worked like a charm...
"You used those fleas to harm Crash, didn't you?!" Sonic asked Ruby and Weiss, pointing accusingly at the two ladies. Meanwhile, Nina rested her feet on the table with her arms folded behind her back, with an innocent smile.
"Why would we do that for?" retorted Weiss, while Crash was rolling around on the floor to get the fleas off of him. "We would never harm your friend!"
"Crash are you okay, speak to me!" Aku asked the bandicoot, who began screaming as the fleas were more itchy than before. Crash got up and ran out of Mario's house, leaving the front door open.
"Best Thanksgiving ever..." remarked Nina with a happy sigh, as Sonic and Hunter were both glaring down Ruby and Weiss. Nina had triggered a scene of dissension at Mario's home...and the goth girl was awfully proud of it.
Cloud eventually got tired of speaking for Daisy, so he focused on eating his food while Link directed Daisy's hand movements. Thanks to Link, there was a mess all over the table, where Daisy was sitting at.
"Hey Luigi, your dinner is missing a turkey," Anna told the plumber, who gulped nervously. That turkey might not be in good shape for eating. "My turkey, rather."
"Thanks-a for bringing that up, Anna..." responded a very nervous Luigi, as he went to the kitchen and approached the oven. The plumber opened the oven, and smoke instantly came out.
"What's with all that smoke?" inquired Yuffie, as Luigi screamed and slammed the oven door shut in an instant. "There isn't another 'Koffing' in there, is it?" Luigi opened the oven door once more, having to admit the hard truth...
"THE TURKEY'S ON-A FIRE YET AGAIN!" yelled Luigi as he took the turkey out form the oven, with the turkey ablaze and smoking. Luigi yelled loudly enough to wake up Daisy, who eyes went open in a snap.
"Wh-Where am I?" wondered Daisy, seeing the strings attached to her arms. That made her ticked, but what made her more ticked was seeing guests other than Anna seated around the table. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Luigi, what have you done to my turkey?!" an angered Anna asked Luigi, who felt his hands burning as he carried the turkey. Luigi would slip and fall on the floor, dropping the turkey in the process.
"Mama mia, I really goofed-a up..." said Luigi, as he sat on the floor. Soon a shadow came over Luigi, and the plumber nervously looked up...
...and saw Daisy glaring at him, holding a golf club and smacking into the palm of her hand.
Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei had returned to the mansion premises, and were outside in the front yard catching their breath after they ran away from the Yiga Clan hideout. Crash was also outside, rolling around on the grass to get the fleas off.
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU, LUIGI!" shouted Daisy, as she chased her husband out of the house. Luigi was running and screaming for his life, as Daisy chased him down with her golf club.
"Man, we looked cooler screaming and running for our lives than him," Ryuji told Junpei and Yosuke after he caught his breath, grinning and pointing at Luigi. "Imagine being Luigi, and being chased by your wife for doing bone-headed stuff!"
"That could be one of us, one day," remarked Yosuke as he, Junpei, and Ryuji shared a laugh together...before said laughter turned into nervousness, and then into thousand-yard stares. Reality was seemingly seeping in.
Anna: *facepalming* How is it even possible to burn a pre-cooked turkey...remind me to go to Mario's place for Thanksgiving next year.
Yosuke and company's thousand-yard stares would be interrupted, when Brio was heard screaming as he was flung out of Marth's house. The inventor landed on the ground, getting a face full of dirt.
"Forgot your list, buddy!" Golden Deer house leader Claude shouted, as he tossed the List of Brio at Brio before closing the front door. The list struck Brio in the back of his head.
"The audacity of Marth, to kick me out of his house for refusing to accept the truth..." grumbled Brio as he got up off the ground, picking up his list and dusting it off. "...how can he not accept that I invented his home country of Altea? No wonder he's on my list..."
"What are you boys doing out here?" B.D. Joe called out to the men out in the front yard, standing from the front door. "We got a Thanksgiving dinner inside! Lots of good eats!"
"A Thanksgiving dinner, huh?" grinned Ryuji, who was in the mood for sticking it Master Hand in some manner or fashion. "Yosuke, Junpei...why don't we start a food fight during this dinner, and stick it to Master Hand?"
"I'm totally fine with it," said Brio, as Yosuke and Junpei found themselves nodding their heads. "Got some th-th-things to get off my chest!"
So Ryuji and company followed B.D. Joe inside the mansion, with Brio following after him. Crash, who finally got the fleas off of him, saw the others enter the mansion, and would follow suit.
The tower residents - including Fox and Falco - were having their own Thanksgiving dinner, and there was little to no excitement present. Sure there were a couple of conversations, but not enough to elevate the mood.
"Anyone here in the mood for starting a food fight at the mansion?" Ashley asked everyone around the table, oddly craving for some excitement on Thanksgiving Day.
"Took the words right out of my mouth..." replied Waluigi, who was still wearing a turkey suit. Some folks looked at Waluigi, and was laughing. "...quit laughing at my turkey costume, dang it."
Meanwhile at the mansion, there was a more livelier Thanksgiving dinner taking place, as everyone was having a good time. That is, until Bowser showed up wearing a black turtleneck. Black enough to command's everyone attention.
"Bowser, why on earth are you wearing a turtleneck?" Adeleine questioned the koopa king, as the commotion in the dining room slowly died down. "It doesn't even look nice on you..."
"Shame on you for not knowing fashion," replied Bowser, who was holding a list in his hands. An entirely new list. "I just have a few thoughts to share with you all, from an entirely new list that I created."
"Thoughts such as...?" asked Cilan, as he raised an eyebrow. Bowser would clear his throat, as he cleared his throat and was about to read from his list.
"Cilan, you're over six feet and weigh less than a hundred pounds, and you still sleep with Pokemon plushies. Boom. Roasted. King K. Rool, you're fat and single. Boom. Roasted. Ema Skye, nobody even knows if you still live here. Boom. Roasted. Doc Louis...you look like Wesley Snipes if he never tried. Boom. Roasted."
"I'll take what I can get..." remarked Doc Louis, taking a bite from his chocolate bar to get his chocolate fix in for the day.
"Anyway...Dark Pit, you're a knock-off copy-and-paste version of regular Pit. Boom. Roasted. Luminary, your teeth called, your breath smells like women's perfume. Boom. Roasted. Mewtwo, your mom is a literal fetus. Boom. Roasted. Wii Fit Trainer you're so pale, you would go missing in the snow for an entire year. Boom. Roasted. And Isabelle..."
Bowser would be cut off, after a brave soul threw a list at the koopa king's face. That brave soul was Ryuji, who had thrown the List of Brio at Bowser; standing by with the delinquent were Yosuke, Junpei, Brio, and Crash, all of whom were armed with pies from the kitchen.
"Ha ha, got 'em!" sneered Ryuji, as Bowser saw the list that was thrown at him. The koopa king frowned, only for Crash to throw a pie at his face.
"No, why did you do that for?!" frowned Cilan, before he knew what was coming next. "Oh no...don't tell me..."
"FOOD FIGHT!" shouted Ryuji, kickstarting yet another food fight as everyone was grabbing food and throwing it at one another. Leaf poured gravy all over Bowser's black turtleneck; Jacky Bryant smacked Dark Pit in the face with a turkey; Shulk and Banjo were flinging mashed potatoes at one another; and Team Rocket was on the top, tossing dinner rolls at everyone.
"We're peaking, we're peaking!" exclaimed a very giddy Meowth, throwing the dinner rolls like it was nobody's business. As the food fight raged on, Fox and Falco entered through the backdoor with the tower denizens, with Rodin knocking the door down. All were armed with food.
"Oh, they already got a head start," observed Fox, seeing the carnage taking place before him, before shrugging his shoulders. "Oh well. Let's hop right in!" So Fox, Falco, and the tower denizens hopped right into the food fight, with Ghirahim forcing candied yams into Sans' eye sockets, the Arcade Bunny pouring roasted vegetables over Donkey Kong's head, and Shadow being pelted with stuffing by Cranky Kong.
Cranky Kong: Felt great to get my revenge on Shadow - made up for my lackluster performance last year. I'll never get tired of the traditional Smash Mansion Thanksgiving food fight.
Dr. Wily: Aw, what, I missed another food fight? *grumbles* Did they at least saved me some turkey?
Joker and his pals showed up in the dining room, where they saw the food fight going down. They stood where they were, not wanting to partake in the action.
"What's with all the commotion?" wondered Master Hand, showing up in the dining room. As expected, the giant hand saw a food fight going down...what he did not expect to see was Ryuji, Yosuke, and Junpei participating in said food fight.
"Hi Master Hand, did you get that turkey?" Isabelle approached the giant hand, who was absolutely seething as he watched Ryuji and his pals having fun. "Hello? Earth to Master Hand!"
"Isabelle, please arrange a meeting for me with Master Kohga...I have some things to discuss with him..."
Champion Link and Asuka returned to Luigi's home, where the Thanksgiving dinner was winding down. Thankfully Luigi had enough food for both.
"Then we told Master Hand what happened with the stolen turkey, and he was perfectly chill about it," Champion Link explained to Luigi and Daisy, who were seated on a couch; Luigi had an ice pack on his head, after Daisy savagely beat him with a golf club.
"So he didn't snap on you guys? That's pretty swell," replied Daisy, as she petted Luigi on his back. The littlest touch caused Luigi to wince in pain. "Don't you think so too, Luigi?"
"I guess..." replied Luigi, before the doorbell rang. With Daisy fearing that there were more guests, Champion Link answered the door, and saw Ruby and Weiss standing by.
"Mind if we hang out here, for a bit?" Ruby asked Champion Link, who apparently didn't know who she and Weiss were. "Sonic and Hunter are driving us insane over at Mario's place."
"Uh, no thanks," Champion Link kindly responded, before gently closing the door. The Hylian returned to the living room, where he saw Luigi, Daisy, and Asuka with shocked faces. They had seen Ruby and Weiss, in full view. "You guys recognized who those two ladies were?"
"Was that...Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee just now?" questioned Daisy, as Luigi fainted to the floor. Daisy got angry, as she pulled out her golf club. "Why didn't you let them in?!"
"Chill out Daisy, I thought you didn't want any guests over..." Champion Link backed away from Daisy, who was marching towards the Hylian. "Just take it easy, Daisy...Daisy? DAISY!"
Daisy would chase Champion Link around the house, making the Hylian scream for his life. Luigi couldn't stop his wife, for he was fainted, which meant that Champion Link was screwed for the moment being. And Anna, the guest that Luigi had invited, would watch Daisy chase after Champion Link, smiling with her index finger rested on her face.
Funny how a person's attitude could instantly change, just like that...
