Clone Sonic went to Mario as usual for his daily review. Mario congratulated him when he got Samus back. This time it was genuine too. Unfortunately the clone Ness never arrived. Mario ordered Sonic to go find him and bring him to the bunker.

Sonic ran around the mansion. He couldn't find him. He asked the other smashers, but they were too busy planning Mario's wedding. This is hopeless. Where could that knucklehead be? He was about to give up, but he found him. Ness had just left Leaf's room. He waved her off and zipped up his pants. Oh god, no. He's not following orders again.

"Ness!" Sonic called out.

"O-oh! Oh…"

"What were you thinking?!"

"Ugh, it's not what it looks like."

"It's so obvious, Ness. You can't be doing that. What if someone sees you?"

"Everyone is too busy planning Mario's wedding."

"Come on, you know you're not supposed to do this."

"What? You mean have fun? Come on, don't be such a wet blanket."

"If Mario finds out-

"Please don't tell him!"

"I have to tell him everything."

"Uh, what if I do something for you to make it up."
"No."

"Hey, I found a really good book that Ness keeps. It's Sci-Fi."

"Not interested."

"Are you sure? It's about aliens."

"I know what you're trying to do. It won't work."

"Please don't tell. He'll kill me."
"Sorry, but you keep ruining our plans. It's hard to work with you."
"Ok, look I am doing my job. I got Little Mac to believe my lie."
"Why isn't he at the bunker then?"

"Uh, because he uh…"

"Listen, I won't tell, but the boss wants me to get you. You can explain to him instead."

"No wait! C-can we look for Little Mac together?"

"No."

Sonic and Ness were on their way back to the bunker. Ok, quick just in case he needs to make up an excuse as to why he didn't get Little Mac. Uh, let's see… He simply couldn't find him. Yup, perfect. This mansion is big, so it makes sense.

Once the two walked inside the bunker, Mario, Mickey, and Goofy were there. Wow, Mario got a backpack. He's taking this whole take over smash very seriously.

Mario: "Hello, Clone Ness."

Ness: "Boss! How's it hangin?"

Mario: "Where's Little Mac?"
Ness: "I couldn't find him."
Mario: "You had a whole day."

Ness: "Mansion is big."

Goofy: "The place is big."

Mickey: "Nothing compared to my mansion."
Ness: "Then I definitely couldn't find him at yours."
Mario: "Sonic, where did you find him?"

Sonic: "Uh…" *glances at Ness*

Ness: *Gives him the thumbies*
Sonic: "I saw him looking around at the food court."
Ness: "I thought he would be there. Big boy gotta eat."
Mickey: "Weird, his name is Little Mac. For some reason I thought of him as a small tiny dude."

Mario: "Well he is short, but yeah he's also buff."

Goofy: "Is this Little Mac important?"

Mario: "Honestly, not anymore. He's dumb and we're going to take over smash soon anyway."
Ness: "Phew."

Goofy: "So when do the Hands come back?"
Mario: "Soon."
Sonic: "How do you know?"

Mario: "Oh trust me, I notified them about my wedding. They are going to be here in a month."
Mickey: "Perfect!"

Mario: "They won't miss my wedding. They always attend weddings in smash."

Mickey: "Alright let's start with the project."

Mario: "We're going to mimic Galeems chains and Darkon's time manipulation."

…

Little Mac has finally stopped crying. He has been for hours now. He turned on the tv. His and Kirby's show was on again. He started to feel defeated. He can't move on. It's too hard. She was his everything. He didn't even know what he did wrong. She started being distant, and he thought it was because she was going through something. It could have been about the tournament or clearly it's something he did. Damn, he tried thinking back to what he could have done to upset her, but his mind was drawing a blank.

Little Mac decided to go on a jog. Although last time he did that, he found Metaknight watching. Then he went to space and then everything after that got scary and complicated. He shuddered at the thought of going back to space. His first time did not leave a good impression. Sure, Popstar was beautiful, but then he saw a murder scene. He was not looking forward to going back there. In fact, he never will. Too traumatizing. Hmm, he'll go a different route tonight. He can't let trauma stop him from doing his favorite thing at night. Jogging is a must.

…

It's not been as crazy as it used to be since Kirby first got kidnapped. Villager has toned down his aggression. She never let her guard down despite him being kind to her lately.

Villager let her out of the cage and they were relaxing in his living room. She still had her hands tied behind her back with the shackles unfortunately. She asked if he could remove them, since they're 'in love.' As she expected, he said no. He still didn't trust her, which is fair. He still had doubts about her love for him. He's a smart guy, but if she can continue to cloud his judgment with false love, maybe he'll let her hands go.

Villager got up from the couch and went to the kitchen. "I'm going to cook dinner, Darling," He informed. She watched as he turned on the lights and started preparing. She also got up and watched him cook. There's nothing better to do. Well the tv was on, but he put it on a boring channel and the remote was up top on the tv. She watched as he took out the meat. Huh, something is familiar about that chunk of meat he pulled. Wait a minute, it looks like… No way it can't be. There were no feathers on it anymore. It was gutted, but the shape was familiar.

Kirby got up from the floor and wandered off to the hallway where she last saw Pit's wings. It's gone. His wings are gone. Oh Pit… The unwanted memory of Pit's bloody body lying on the floor with his wings hacked off right next to him was a terrifying sight. She hoped that he made it to the ER. She really wanted to see him and comfort him. She wanted to know what exactly happened to him, but she's trapped here. Then it hit her. She turned around to look at him. He was frying the suspicious meat on the pan. That's not chicken… He's cooking Pit's wings. He fed her Pit's wings. HE FED HER PIT'S WINGS! She needs to get out of here.

"Darling, dinner is ready," Villager chimed.

Villager plated the food and made his way to the coffee table. She followed him to the couch and together they sat. She didn't want to eat it. She has to make an excuse as to why she can't tonight.

"Thank you, but my stomach hurts," Kirby lied.

"It hurts because you need to eat, Darling."

"No, this is a different pain. I think it's because I overate."

"Did I feed you too much earlier?"

"I think so. I'm not really sure. I honestly feel ok, I just don't have the stomach to eat tonight. I'm sorry, my… D-Darling…"
"Oh! You called me Darling!"

"Y-yeah, we are together, aren't we?"

"I'm so happy! I'm glad you finally feel the same way. Don't worry about food. Here let me get you medicine."
"Thank you."

Villager left and then came back with medicine for stomach-aches. He

gave her two pills and she swallowed it. Hopefully it's just a normal pill and he didn't do anything to it. She wanted to deny it, but then her whole story would become fishy. She had to go along with it.

"Can we go to the balcony? I need some air," Kirby asked.

"Yeah of course."

The two went to the balcony. They sat and watched the stars together.

"You know what would be great?" Kirby spoke.

"What?"

"If we had a telescope."

"I have one!"

"Oh, you should get it. I've never seen one before."

"Ok!"

Villager left, leaving Kirby alone. It seems like he's listening to her more. In fact, she has an idea on how to escape now. She needs to be careful. It might not work, but it doesn't hurt to try. Once Villager came back with the telescope. She watched him set it up. After it was done. The two shared looking through it. It was beautiful. It's not as impressive as actually going to space and looking at the stars directly as she usually did back then, but this was cute. Humans are trying. She pretended to laugh and giggle as Villager was making silly impressions of the stars. He's so… Strange. Well he's in a good mood now, so now's the time to ask him the big question.

"Hey, Darling," Kirby said.

"Yes?"

"I uh, I want to hug you."
"Ok," Villager hugged her.

"Uh, well actually I want to hold you with my arms."

"I… I don't know…"

"Please," Her eyes looked like a galaxy. He wanted to resist, but she looked desperate to hug him. It wasn't fair that she couldn't hold him like he could with her. He also wanted her to hold him and pat his head. She hasn't been able to since she got here. He really wanted to feel her touch. What should he do? Her galaxy doe eyes are begging him to take off the shackles. What if she attacks him? She looks genuine though. It's been three weeks. A lot has changed since then. They started off rough, but she seemed to finally start to fall for him. She no longer denied that they were a thing and she seemed into the whole wedding idea.

"I know it's hard. This is a sign of trust. I promise I won't do anything. I only want to hug my future husband. Also, I was hoping that we could sleep together on the same bed tonight. I've been wanting to for a while," Kirby blushed.

She wants to sleep with him! This is the big moment he's been waiting for. He thought about them being all passionate. Tonight could finally be the night that it happens! He eagerly grabbed his key and unlocked her chains.

Kirby couldn't believe it. The chains were off. She hasn't been able to move her arms in three weeks. It was sore as she expected. However, she mustered the strength to hug Villager as she promised. Villager hugged her tight. This felt so nice. She finally loves him. They can finally be together. He no longer has to be alone anymore. He finally found his true love.

"Kirby, I am so in love with you," Villager nuzzled his face against her chest.

"Me too! Thank you for trusting me."
"Of course! Thank you for giving us a chance."

"Mhm."

"Can we kiss?"

"Of course. Close your eyes."

Villager closed his eyes and puckered his lips. This is her chance to strike. She kissed him and transformed into Villager Kirby! She got a new outfit. A cute casual tee with shorts. Villager looked at her in amazement.

"Y-you look beautiful! H-how did you do that?" Villager asked.

"It's my power. Remember? I'm Kirby."
"That's right. I remember you transformed by the kitchen."

"It's still me."

"It's so hard to believe."

"I know, I don't even recognize myself in the mirror."

"Wow."

"Did you want to kiss again?"

"Of course!"

Villager closed his eyes again waiting for another sweet kiss. His eyes are closed and she has power now! She swung a punch at him. He fell on the floor. She then stomped his throat. He struggled to scream. Perfect. She needs to knock him out. She picked him up and slammed him against the glass door. It caused it to break. He hit his head hard on the floor, which knocked him out. She grabbed the shackles and chained his hands up like he did with her. She made sure to grab the key. She used this chance to climb on the balcony and hop off. She landed on the floor. She finally escaped. Oh my god, she's free! She frantically searched around her area. Knock it off just go! She started running. She didn't know where, but her feet took her far away from Villager's house.
