-Finding The Travel Machine-
Little Mac borrowed Kirby's rouge robe he bought for her. Being stealthy is a must. He struggled finding his way out of the forest, but thanks to the Great Deku Tree, the trees suddenly talked to Little Mac and told him the way out.
He made it back to the bridge. He hid there for a little bit keeping an eye out on Metaknight. The bat was nowhere to be found. Perfect, he ran as fast as he could to the mansion. When he made it there, he ran to his room. He put away the robe and took a quick shower.
He left his room and went inside an elevator. He pressed B1. The elevator took him to the basement room. He searched for the item room. He did eventually find it, but like he expected it was locked. He needed a code to get in. No one knew the code except the Hands or the guards.
Hmm if only there was a way to trick the guards into telling him the code. Haha! Yeah right. Jeez, he didn't think this through. How else can he get in there? It wouldn't hurt to ask around. Someone must know, right?
Little Mac asked a few smashers about the code, but they all got suspicious and asked as to why he needed to get in there. That's a good point. He didn't have a good excuse. He stopped asking the other smashers. Everyone knew no one was allowed to enter the item room. Nor did anyone care about it.
Hmm, what if he asked an assist trophy instead? They have to be smart. He went to the main lobby. There's a giant book full of information about the smashers and assist trophies. He wasn't the strongest reader, but Kirby needs him. He went through the assist trophy table of contents. He hardly knew any of them. Dammit, he's going to have to read the whole thing.
…
-The Clones-
Clone Sonic was in his room reading a nice book. Usually he would be in the library, but he decided to stop going. He loves the atmosphere there, but he's going to get caught by Mario eventually.
A few more hours went by and he finally finished his book. That was a good one. Time to head to the library to get another one. He made his way to the hallway where the library is, but he stopped when he saw Mario by the library door. He's checking up on the clone Ness to make sure he's doing his part probably. Sonic immediately turned around and ran away. Hopefully he didn't see him. That would be bad.
Well now what? He could see if he could buy an e-book instead. He went back to his room and opened up his laptop. He went to to check the e-book section. Wow, there's so many. He started browsing through them, but his laptop showed the blue screen of death. Seriously?! This has got to be a joke. Dammit, ok well, the laptop is fried now what? Hmm, maybe the clone Ness could help him out. He should have a laptop.
Sonic left his room to find Ness. He knocked on his door, but no one answered. He's in the library for sure. Lucky bastard. Oh well, he'll knock again later. He went to the food court and saw Lucas sitting alone. He's Ness's friend, maybe he knows where Ness is. Sonic put his tray down on Lucas's table. The blonde looked at him nervously.
"Hey, Lucas, how are you?" Sonic greeted.
"Um, I-I'm ok."
"You sure? You sound scared."
"Do I?"
"Yeah. Anyway, have you seen Ness around?"
Lucas stiffened. "Today?"
"Yeah."
"N-no…"
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yes."
"Is it about Ness?"
"N-no."
"What did he do…"
"N-nothing, he definitely wasn't doing stuff with Luigi last night."
"What!"
"Uh… I mean, he was, they were playing video games without me. That's why I'm upset."
"You and I both know that's not what they did."
"I-I have no idea what you're talking about."
"That dumb idiot."
"Dumb idiot?"
"I need to talk to him. Do you know where he is and don't you dare lie to me."
"I don't. We were supposed to hang out, but I think he's still sleeping."
"Of course he is."
"..."
"Well thanks for the talk. I'm going to wake him up."
"I think he's sleeping."
"Ok, and?"
"Um, well he's probably having a nice dream and-
"Yeah, I don't care."
Sonic finished his food and left to go bang on Ness's door.
…
-The Clones-
Clone Ness heard someone banging on his door. Is that Lucas? He would never bang on his door so aggressively. Oh no, it's Mario. Shit! He fucked up. He checked if Luigi was still sleeping. He was. He was supposed to leave right after, but Luigi begged for couples. Ness didn't know why, but he felt sorry for him, so he let him spend the night. Dumb move. Very very dumb move. He should've kicked him out.
Ness aggressively shook the green plumber awake.
"Waaaaah!" Luigi screamed.
["Shut up."]
"Huh, wha?"
["Someone knocked on my door and I think it's Mario. You need to leave."]
["M-Mario?"]
["I think, I'm not sure."]
Luigi put his clothes back on. He was walking toward the front door, but Ness immediately stopped him.
["Are you dumb? Go out through the window."]
["Oh, r-right."]
Ness put his hand on his face. He watched Luigi struggle with the window. This is ridiculous. He moved Luigi aside and opened the window for him. Luigi nervously chuckled and jumped out.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Sorry, sorry I'll be right there," Ness called back.
He fixed his bed and cleaned up the room a bit. He made sure to spray the room with febreze just in case. He made his way over to the door. He took a long deep breath and opened it. To his surprise it was Sonic.
"Sonic? What're you doing here?" Ness raised a brow.
"I think you know why I'm here."
"I really don't."
"Can I come in?"
"Sure."
Ness moved aside and Sonic sat on the floor next to the coffee table. Ness soon followed behind and sat on his bed.
"So… What's up?" Ness said.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
"What?"
"Luigi? Seriously?"
"Huh? What about Luigi?"
"Oh, you know what I'm talking about. You fucked Luigi."
*Scoffs* "What? That's ridiculous. No, I didn't."
"Dude, Lucas told me everything."
"Lucas? W-what, I told him we were playing video games and we were."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah! We were playing GSA 6."
"That game hasn't even come out yet."
"Uh, yes it has."
"Show me then."
"Luigi took the copy with him."
"So if I find him and ask him about the game, he'll be able to show me the copy, right?"
"Um…"
"Stop lying!"
"I'm not!"
"I told you to stop doing this. I can't believe his brother out of all people. You're playing a dangerous game and I can't keep covering for you."
"Look, I'm not gonna get in trouble. If Luigi says anything, he'll get in trouble too. There's no way he'll nark on himself."
"It's Luigi. He's the reason why your original is a prisoner."
"Shit…"
"You Ness's sure got a sweet spot for the green plumber."
"There's no way he'll tell Mario."
"I can't believe you fucked him in the first place. Luigi of all guys."
"I mean, he's cute."
"Dude, you're a slut."
"No, I'm not!"
"I'm going to tell Mario."
"No, please!"
"If Mario knew that I knew, he's going to get rid of me too."
"I promise, Luigi isn't going to say anything."
"I don't know that."
"Ok, starting now, I'll stop. I promise."
"No, dude. I'm tired of this. I don't want to nark on you, but I also don't want to die."
"If Luigi does tell, you could say you didn't know. You don't have to tell Mario now."
"Ok, but what if he finds out that I knew. I don't want to take any chances."
"What can I do to make you stop?"
"Hmm."
"I'll do anything."
"Anything?"
"Anything."
"My laptop died on me. I was wondering if I could borrow yours."
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
"Why, so you could watch some porn?" *Smirks*
"No! I want to buy an e-book."
"Just use your phone."
"I would, but last meeting he said he's going to check our phones."
"He checks our phones?!"
"Yeah? Hasn't he checked yours?"
"No."
"Oh, well he told me he's going to start checking in our last meeting, which was two days ago."
"I wasn't there."
"I thought he texted you about it."
"No…"
"I bet you have a lot of stuff to hide, don't you."
"Fuck…"
"Dude…"
"Thank god, you told me now."
"Yeah no kiddin.'"
"Anyway, yeah you can borrow the laptop."
"Thanks. I promise, I'll give it back when I'm done reading."
"I don't care. I don't use it."
"That's surprising."
Ness handed Sonic his laptop. The hedgehog left and Ness immediately started deleting his messages between him and Leaf. Everytime they text, he'll read it and then delete them on the spot. Sonic really saved his ass.
…
-The Clones-
Sonic plopped on his bed and opened up the laptop. He texted Ness what the password was. Unfortunately the clone Ness never used it, so he didn't know. Dammit, well he hasn't bought an e-book yet. He could tell Mario that Ness gave him his laptop permanently because he wasn't using it, which honestly isn't much of a lie.
Mario knows the password. He's been on his laptop before. He texted Mario about the laptop and if he could have the password. Fortunately the plumber didn't care much and said that the password is password. Wait, seriously? That's the dumbest password that the original could've done. What was he trying to do, use reverse psychology?
Whatever, Sonic typed in the password. It worked. He went to to order an e-book, however something caught his eye. There was a second browser. Interesting it wouldn't hurt to take a peak.
He switched to the second browser and… Oh my god… Holy shit what the fuck?! N-Ness? Holy fuck! He immediately texted Mario to come over.
