Chapter 49: SSBB Field Trip: Part 1

May 26

6:30 P.M.

Most of the Smashers were very excited for tomorrow to come. Tomorrow was the SSBB Field Trip to the mountains! It was very loud and noisy on a warm night. Nobody wasn't allowed to sleep early because Master Hand didn't want anyone to pack their stuff on the day of the field trip. He would be very pissed indeed.

Marth, Link, Roy, Miru, and Pit were all in Ike's room, waiting for Ike to speak. They all sat on the ground, eating Gold Fish, Doritos, popcorn, gummy worms (basically any junk food you can think of), and Oreos. Kirby happened to be there for some reason. Perhaps the smell of snacks brought him here. Ike didn't really care, only if he didn't cause any trouble.

"So, Ike, what is it that you want to discuss with us?" Marth asked, breaking the munching and crunching in the room. "I'm sure it's important, since you brought us here. Mmhm. I love Pocky."

Ike grabbed an Oreo and stared at it. "Yes. . . It is." Ike muttered at the end. "It started about a week ago-."

"ABOUT A WEEK AGO!"

"Shut up Kirby!"

"Hmph. . ." Kirby stuffed his cheeks with string cheese and kept quiet.

"Ew." Pit said in disgust.

"As I was saying. . . It was about a week ago when. . ."

0_0

Minutes later. . .

"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" They all shouted in unison, except for Kirby, who was stuffing his face with chicken wings.

"So, let me sum it up." Marth started. He cleared his throat and began. "You make out with Samus, Makato sees it, and she flips you off?!"

"Basically. . ."

Comments from the guys went out of control.

"OMG!"

"LOL!"

"Wow! You two timer!"

"What's wrong with you?!"

"You bastard!"

"I'm going to kill you for making her cry!"

"Jerk face!"

"POYO!"

"That could only meaning she loves Ike. . ." Marth said to himself.

"I've been trying to apologize to her but she would just ignore me." Ike stared at the food.

"Well, duh." Link said.

". . .It's been a week now."

"A WEEK?!" They all exclaimed, expect for Kirby who was stuffing his face with marshmallows, Honey Grahams, and Hershey's chocolate, to make a s'more in his black-hole-like mouth.

Ike sighed, "I told you in the beginning, it started about a week ago-"

"ABOUT A WEEK AGO!"

"Shut up Kirby!"

"You've been apologizing non-stop. Still, I never noticed." Marth said, thinking about it. Marth then grinned to himself. "She always has a lovely smile. . ."

Ike sweat dropped. "To you that is. . .But for me, it's a death glare."

Roy got up from his criss cross position and stood on his feet. "I'd hate to say this but, we should help our old pal! He called us here for a reason!" Roy preached. "So we have to be there for him!"

"Amen!" Pit cheered.

"Roy, I never thought-" Ike was cut off by the redhead's mischievous smirk.

"Well, what are friends for?"

"Meow!" Whiskers De Pablo sat on Ike's bed.

"Well, tomorrow is the fun day, so during the fun field trip, you are going to apologize to Makato!" Pit said.

"Let's call it Operation Gomenasai!" Roy wrote the title on a random clip board.

"Operation Sorry?" Marth asked.

"What kind of name is that?" Link said.

"Is it too late now to say sorry?" Roy sang.

"Sounds interesting if you ask me." Miru said.

"Everyone. . ." Ike felt his eyes water up. He put his arm over his eyes, making little sniffs. "I. . . I don't know what to say."

Kirby thought it was total out of character for Ike to cry.

"Hehe, no probs!" Roy patted Ike's back.

Operation Gomenasai

Ike wrote the following of what the guys said to Ike.

"When it comes to apologizing, you just have to be yourself. . ." Miru said.

"Act casual." Link said.

"Act silly!" Pit said.

"Make her jealous!" Marth said.

"Show her your body!" Roy said.

Ike stopped writing and stared at them as if they were crazy. "Um. . ."

Next plan. . .

"Ok, let's rehearse everyone!" Marth clapped his hands together. "We are going to test out Ike's apology skills and how he confronts Makato. And how she might react to him. I would be playing the roll as Makato." Marth wore a pink, long wig with two buns on the side.

Link, Roy, Miru, Pit, and Kirby watched from the sidelines.

Ike had his back faced from Marth, waiting for his cue.

"And ACTION!" Kirby said.

"Makato, I need to talk to you." Ike started, he turned to Marth, only seeing the long, fake hair.

Marth-Makato turned around, crying small tears. Ike almost cringed. "Talk about what?! The kiss?!"

"Uh. . . yea. . ."

"Don't lose your swag Ike." Roy whispered.

Marth-Makato, started to bang Ike's head simultaneously with his manly fist. "YOU BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA-"

The guys sweat dropped while Kirby took pictures.

"Makato wouldn't act like that! My turn!" Pit said. And so it was Pit's turn.

"ACTION!" Link said.

"I'm so sorry Makato. . . It was just a practice. I hope you didn't take it the wrong way."

Pit-Makato turned to Ike with a sad face. "You're so mean! I rather go back to Mikoru!"

"Not funny!" Ike then started to choke Pit-Makato, forgetting Pit was suppose to act as Makato.

"You're going to kill her if she were to mention his name?!" Marth exclaimed.

"Alright! I'll show you how it's done!" Roy said.

"And ACTION!" Miru said.

"I'm so sorry Makato, that kiss was just a practice."

"That kiss, Ike," Roy smirked, "was a lie. Do you expect me to believe that?"

This time Ike really did cringed.

The guys gasp on the sideline. "What a comeback!" Marth was surprised.

"Keep going Ike!" Link shouted.

"Don't lose your cool!" Miru said.

"Who knew Roy was a cross-dresser. . ." Kirby stuffed his face with instant mash potatoes.

It felt like the day when he confronted Makato. She said the same thing, except it was on paper.

"This is. . . a battle. I cannot lose." Ike closed his eyes and opened them back up at Roy. "I messed up, I know. . ." Ike scrunched his fist. He knew he was in a deadlock.

Roy continued, "You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down. But wait. You tell me that you're sorry. Didn't think I'd turn around. And say. . ." Roy pointed his finger at the mercenary. "That it's too late to apologize. . ."

"OOOOOH. . . " The guys said in the background. Ike scratched his head. . . "It's like you want her to win."

"Well, this apology plan is not going to work. . ." Marth thought outloud. "Let's go for Operation Rescue Me Senpai!"

"Operation Rescue Me Sen-Oh my gosh. . ."

Operation Rescue Me Senpai

Ike, Link, Roy, Miru, Pit, and Kirby stared at Marth and his white board. Marth held up a dry erase marker and started drawing. "Ok, you know about the trip tomorrow? We all go hiking and to the hot springs and it's going to be a blast, right?"

"Right." The guys said in unison, nodding.

"So, okay. I thought of a plan only seconds ago. Makato gets lost in the woods. . ."

Marth's Story. . .

"Where am I?" Makato asked herself, looking around the trees. "Is anyone there?"

"Then Roy pretends to be a bear just to scare Makato!" Marth said.

"ROAR! I'M GOING TO EAT YOU AND YOUR POTIONS!" Roy the big, scary bear hollered.

"EEEEK! Someone help me!"

"That's when you come in Ike! You use your Great Aether at the bear!"

Ike made a flying side kick to the bear's face. "GREAT AETHER!"

"You save her live from the ferocious bear!"

"I'm so sorry for ignoring the heck out of you! Forgive me!"

"She forgives you, and the end!"

End of Marth's story. . .

"Sounds, like a good idea." Ike grinned.

"Hey! Why do I have to be the bear?!" Roy said.

"My turn!" Pit said.

Pit's Story

"A bear traps Makato between her and the cliff!"

"Roar! I got you cornered." The bear said.

"Ah! Someone help me!" Makato cried.

"Bear pushes her, just before she falls down, Ike comes to the rescue!"

"Makato!" Ike stomped on the bear's head for an extra boost. He somehow grabbed her arm, stopping gravity.

"She likes you and you're forgiven!"

End of Pit's Story. . .

"That sounds too cliche," Link shook his head in disagreement.

"Well, you got any better ideas?" Pit asked.

Link's Story. . .

"Ganondorf and Bowser harass her in the forest. . . After that, you save her from them!"

End of Link's Story. . .

"Woah! Woah!" Ike interrupted. "So saving her would mean forgiveness? Is that what you guys are saying?"

"YEP." They all said in unison, including Kirby. Ike sighed and shrugged."Whatever, I guess. Which idea are we going with?"

"Mine, of course." Kirby flipped his invisible hair. Ike sweat dropped. "You didn't even said your story yet."

"Pfft," Kirby rolled his eyes. "I would say my story, but unfortunately, if I said it, it would seem like I'm 'stealing' someone else's-"

"Ok, I don't want to hear it." Ike put his hand over Kirby's face to keep him from talking.

"We are using mine. It makes sense." Marth said with confidence.

Pit shook his head, throwing a pretzel at Marth. "No mine is better!"

"Obviously, mine makes more sense." Link said. The three of them began to argue to which plan was better.

"This is going to be a long night. . . ." Kirby sighed, shaking his head.

In the Middle of the Night. . .

"Where am I?" Ike looked around. It was a beautiful place. Nature danced around him. Birds sang, the winds whistled, the sun was slowly rising up. It felt like heaven.

"Hello, Ike." A girl's voice echoed through his ears. Ike turned to that voice and saw a girl, wearing a long pink dress. She looked at the sky. "I used to be afraid of the sky. But, not anymore."

"Who are you? How do you know my name?" He questioned.

She smiled and walked over to him. Almost meeting him up close, she tripped half way and fell flat on her face.

"Ouch!"

"Are you okay?" Ike sweat dropped.

She got up and dusted herself. "Don't worry Ike, everything between you and Makato will be fine. When the time comes, take her to the Holy Water."

"Holy Water?"

"Yep!"

The mercenary arched an eyebrow. "Would you mind giving me an explanation?" He blinked a couple times, then realized. "Wait, how do you know about Makato and I-?"

She giggled and skipped away. "Well, good luck!"

"Wait! Come back-!"

Ike felt his skull slamming against the flooring of his room. He groaned in pain as he slowly opened his eyes. "Wait, was it just a dream?"

He got up and stretched a little. Ike checked Miru's bed and he was sleeping soundly. He glanced at the clock, only seeing 1:20 A.M. on it. Ike walked towards his door. But he doubt anyone would be awake at this hour. Before he touched the doorknob, he heard a quiet knock.

"So, someone is up as well?" Ike whispered to himself as he opened the door. His heart raced when he saw the potion princess right in front of him. What was she doing here at this hour? Ike couldn't say her name. Instead he stared at her moist, ocean blue eyes. She looked kinda depressed. Was it coincidental that they were both awake at this hour?

Ike and Makato were outside of his room. The hallway was dark, but the moonlight shined in the background, bringing in some light.

"Ike, I've decided. . . to listen to your side of the story. . ." Makato started, "but first. . . tell me honestly." Makato stood silent for a couple of seconds and spoke. "Do you love Samus. . . more than me?"

Ike turned to Makato. "No, Makato, I. . ."

Makato turned back seeing his eyes, waiting for his answer.

"I-"

"IT'S EXACTLY TRUE! I LOVE SAMUS! XOXOXOXOXOXO! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!" Ike's voice was coming out, from not from his mouth, but from a jukebox that Marth held up in full volume. Ike closed his mouth, he didn't- -he never said any of that! Where was it coming from?

"Oh, Ike, you'll never learn. . ." Marth shook his head, hiding behind a wall, holding the jukebox.

"Mhm." Roy nodded.

Ike stomped over to Marth, grabbing his nightwear collar. "What are you guys doing?! I thought would help me! Turn it off!"

Marth tried to smile. The radio kept on repeating Ike's fake confessions. "We are Ike! But this isn't part of the plan, remember?! You'll have to wait to get another chance! Strike while the iron is hot!"

The mercenary popped a vein. "Why you little-! I never said anything of that so how-?!"

"Silly Ike, it's called technology. We did this just in case. . ." Roy said. "We just saved your big chance! Be grateful!"

Ike turned to Roy and punched him hard on the head. "Your big chance to live is up-!"

"Ow!"

A dark aura grew abnormaly behind the three guys.

Ike sweat dropped, as shivers crawled under Ike's spine.

Makato clenched her fist and glared at Ike. Many angry veins appeared on Makato's head as the dark, scary aura surrounded her. Her face darkened and her eyes glowed somewhat magenta. "Ugh, I can't believe you. . .!"

"Wait Makato!" Ike's mouth was then covered by the redhead's hand. The prince did the talking instead of Ike. He held up a microphone as well.

"He meant every single word, Makato. I heard him say that every time I passed by him. Boo hoo! Eya! Eya!" Marth pretended to cry. The sound of thunder and lightning crashed onto the Smash Mansion.

Marth and Roy didn't say anything after Makato left the hallway. A giant hand print was placed upon the mercenary's face.

"Uh, are you okay Ike?" Marth asked. He finally then turned off the jukebox.

Ike placed his hand on the beeping, painful cheek. "Thank you. She hates me more than Mikoru. . ."

"Don't you get it Ike?" Roy placed his hand on Ike's shoulders, "the more hatred she has towards you, the more guilty she will feel in the end! She'll love you even more! And besides, the Operation Rescue Me Senpai is for the SSBB Field Trip."

"Are, are you serious?"

"Yeppers!"

Marth agreed. "Just like what Roy said. She wouldn't help it, but to love the HATE."

Ike crunched his fist together and smiled. "Okay! Allow me to give you my token of appreciation!"

The prince gulped. "Um. . . I don't think I want one."

Roy made a nervous laugh. "Yea me too!" Marth and Roy backed away from Ike. Suddenly it turned into a wild goose chase all over the Smash Mansion.

May 27

8:20 A.M.

Mostly everyone had already packed their stuff on the SSBB bus. Now they just have to eat their breakfast, take role, and their off! The SSBB Field Trip to the mountains! An expensive resort they'll go to as they relax in the hot springs, eat delicious cuisines, play table tennis, go hiking in the deep forest, fish near the river side if they wanted, going to small gift shops, discovering new things, just fun! For just a low price of 10,000,000 dollars! The Smashers would leave at 10:00 A.M.

Everyone wore their comfortable clothing. . .

Dining Room

"Ah! This is going to be so much fun! I can't wait!" Michelle cheered.

"You'll love it! There's even monkeys that take a bath!" Pit said.

"Cool!"

"What happened to you two?" Link was about to eat a banana, but couldn't help but to ask about Roy and Marth's bruised faces.

"Heh, don't you worry about us." Marth said.

"Yea, we'll be just fine." Roy said.

"I do wonder how long." Ike growled.

"I'm guessing they did something stupid." Miru said, eating a bowl of cereal.

"Mario, you seem more excited than-a usual." Luigi said to his brother. Mario had a giant grin on his face. "Of course! Just think about it! Hot springs, Peach, hot springs, Peach! Walking together, alone in the mountains, Peach! It'll be romantic! Just the two of us!"

"Pervert! You just want to see her naked!" Ness blurted.

"N-no I don't!" He blushed madly.

Marth turned behind his chair, seeing the same two animals from yesterday. They had a little backpack strapped onto their backs.

"Oh, Master Hand said said no animals allowed!" Marth smirked.

"Woof!" The dog disagreed.

"Quack!" So did the duck.

"So, we can't go huh?!" Donkey Kong angrily said. Diddy Kong nodded his head.

"Yea? Animals can't go?" Fox questioned.

"Yea right. Don't make me laugh!" Falco said.

Marth sweat dropped and sighed. "Nevermind. . ."

"Meow!" Whiskers De Pablo said.

"I remember last time, Link got lost in the mountains. Remember when I found you? You were crying like a little baby." Zelda said. Link blushed in embarrassment. "Zelda! You said you wouldn't tell anyone!"

"Sorry, I just had too."

Chattering rose in the dining hall than chewing mouths. Ike looked around the dining table. No sign of Makato. Maybe she was still mad about yesterday or she forgot to eat breakfast. Or she's probably skipping it.

Makato's Room

"I can't believe it. . . He never loved me from the beginning." Makato cried to the mysterious man. The guy patted Makato's head and smiled. "That's not true Makato."

"How do I know what you're saying is true?"

"Like I said. . ." He spoke casually, dodging the question, "You haven't listened to his side of the story. So, um, have some faith in him. Alright? Your challenge is to make-up with Ike before the 30th of May."

"I tried to do that but he blew it away." Makato angrily said.

"Only 3 more days left, you can still do it." He made a thumbs up. Makato stared at him and wiped her tears away from her eyes. She made a sad smile, only enough to show that she'd understand.

"That's the spirit!"

"It been a week, and you haven't told me your name. . . What is your name?"

"I'll tell you my name when I see you again."

"No fair, you already know my name but I don't know yours?"

He laughed and shrugged. " Oh, Makato you should probably wake up." He winked.

Makato opened her eyes wide and shot up out of her bed. She glanced at her alarm clock.

"9:25? Oh no!" Makato slipped out of her bed and hurried to the bathroom in her room.

She finished changing in a white button blouse with a thigh length brown skirt, long white socks and short brown hiking boots. Makato packed some healing potions, gloves, scissors, plastic bags and other junk that might be useful for the trip. As she put that on her back, she grabbed her luggage and head downstairs.

"Looks like I'll be skipping breakfast," Makato sighed in disappointment.

It was an hour drive to the resort, located near the mountains. . . On a very noisy bus, with noisy Smashers. Anything could happen. . .

11:30 A.M.

Surrounded by the wilderness near the resort. People were there, also relaxing. They couldn't help it but to notice the Smashers. Master Hand and Crazy Hand took role again to make sure everyone was here.

"NO GETTING LOST IN THE FOREST! NO DROWNING IN THE HOT SPRINGS. NO LOANING MONEY FROM THE SSBB MANSION. ANY QUESTIONS?!"

"Wow, that was simple." Miru commented.

"Hey, there won't be room for all guys to fit in one room!" Pit complained.

"YOU DON'T GET IT DO YOU? WE'VE RENTED A GIANT ROOM! IT'S SMASHER SIZE! THE ROOM IS A DELUXE ROOM, DIVIDED BY A SLIDING DOOR FOR THE GIRLS AND BOYS TO BE SEPARATED. LARGE BUFFET MEALS. BIG BATHROOMS AND SOME CHANGING ROOMS, ALL FOR A LOW PRICE OF 10,000,000 DOLLARS!"

"Oooooh!" Everyone said.

"Let's go in!" Snake cheered as he ran inside the resort, carrying his luggages with him, all of the boys did the same and it sounded like a hurdle of horses, running to the finish line.

"Wow, they all seem so excited." Zelda said. The girls walked into the resort instead of running.

When the ladies entered the room, it was BIG! Big as their living room in the Smash Mansion. The guys already made in it, unpacking their stuff and talking. The sliding door was wide open when they first got in,

"Now, this is Smasher Size." Samus said, dragging her luggage and placing them on the side of them.

"Yes! I can't wait to go to take a dip in the hot springs and eat and eek!" Peach cheered.

"Wow, there's actually room for all of us guys to sleep in a futon! Even Bowser!" Yoshi gleamed.

"Drop it." Bowser growled.

"Ah, this is going to be fun." Marth smiled.

"So what do we do?" Miru asked Marth sitting on the ground.

"Well, at this point we can do anything we want. Like, for example: taking a dip in the hot springs, buying stuff from the gift shop, playing table tennis. . ."

"What about fishing? And hiking in the mountains?"

"Ugh, don't get me started with those things. Bleh."

"Marth isn't the nature tipe, even though, he's Prince of Altea. . . That goes on many adventures. . ." Roy trailed.

"Oh shut up." Marth snapped.

"So, when are we starting this Operation Rescue Me Senpai?" Ike asked.

"I'm glad you ask!" Marth smiled, patting his back. "Tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow huh? Tomorrow?! Why tomorrow when tomorrow never comes?!"

"Stupid Ike, tomorrow always comes!" Roy said.

"Yep! That way you can have the energy for the Operation." Marth continued.

Ike ruffled his hair and sighed. "I guess so."

Mario walked up to Peach. "Hey-a Peach, wanna go to the hot springs together?"

"It's mixed baths? I thought they were separated." Peach asked the red plumber.

"Well. . ." Mario scratched his head.

"He's just a pervert." Luigi commented.

"Auntie, you don't seem like yourself." Makato sat in a knee position staring at her aunt. Michelle looked a little depressed but then smile to her daughter's friend. "I'm not too fond of hot springs. Other than that I'm fine."

"I see. . ."

"M-Makato-. Ugh, let go of me!"

Marth and Roy held Ike's arms to keep him from moving to the potion princess. "Don't stare at her! Don't approach her! Don't even look at her till tomorrow!"

"Well, the mountains won't hike themselves! I'll be off now! I want to look for some mushrooms!" Makato grabbed her bag and was about to leave the room that was filled with noisy people. Ness and Lucas asked her if they could join. Makato nodded with a smile. As they grabbed their backpacks, Peach wanted to say something to her.

"Wait! Right now? But we just got here! And you should've at least stay with us to go to the hot springs." Peach whined.

Makato felt bad for leaving so suddenly but she had a reason. Makato stared at Samus, remembering that horrible nightmare she witnessed. The potion princess frowned, "I rather not. . ." She said under her breath. Makato looked back at Peach and smiled. "See you later. . ." And then she was gone within 5 seconds.

Peach stared at Samus which she sighed and shook her head. "She's still mad at me." The bounty hunter said.

"I know, I can tell." Peach said.

"You guys should make up, fast." Zelda said, brushing her hair.

"Well, I'm the one who's trying." Replied Samus.

"Come on guys! Let's go!" Pit grabbed his bucket of washing materials and ran out of the Smasher Size room. Others followed Pit to the hot springs with their buckets.

12:10 P.M.

Hot Springs

The biggest and relaxing one yet. Many people enjoy the hot springs.

Hotter Springs

Bowser and Ganondorf enjoy the heat. . . .

"Forgot to mention, Operation Rescue Me Senpai, you have to avoid Makato for the whole day until she needs rescuing." Marth explained.

Ike let his nose float above the hot water. "Fuck you. You just made that up."

"Hey, I'm just trying to help!"

"Hey!" Roy yelled at the two. Which caught the guys attention. The redhead was standing tall and proud, showing his penis to the world.

"You don't want to screw everything up. Derameno!" Roy shouted. He jump off a large rock to the hot water. Some of the men in the water, including the monkeys were pissed from Roy's actions. Hot water splash everywhere, especially anyone who was near Roy.

"Roy! Do you mind?!" Link angrily said.

"Hahahahaha! Swim swim swim swim swim!"

"I've never seen Makato so. . . aggressive." Ike said, rubbing his temple.

"Well maybe Makato is more open up to you. That's probably it." Marth said.

"Yea right. She's ready to open up the rope to my neck and hang me. See the hate in her eyes?" Ike then kept quiet to himself, not paying attention to Marth's yapping. 'But I can't believe she actually approached me. . . Maybe she wants to. . .'

"Well, if it isn't the Hero-King Marth-sama and Mister Ike." The white haired teen approached to the two and the other group of boys, wearing a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Robin! Long time so seen!" Marth greeted.

"Yo, Eagle. . ." Ike said.

"Hey Robs!" Roy put his arm around his shoulders. "Wanna have a dick fight?"

"What's a dick fight?" Robin asked.

"Such an innocent mind you have." Roy snickered. "Well first you-"

"You don't need to know." Marth stuffed Roy's head in the water.

"Bluh bluh bluh!" Roy made drowning noises. The monkeys laughed in entertainment.

"What are you doing here?" Miru asked Robin.

"Well, I came with Chrom and Lucina and we've decided to have a 3 day vacation."

"Wow, us Smashers are having a vacation too." Pit said.

"Wait, if you're here. . . than that must mean. . ." Marth thought the worst case scenario that could happen to him. "Oh, God no."

"MARTH-SAMA! What a coincidence!" Lucina popped out of nowhere, coming from the other side of the hot water baths.

"Put some clothes on!" Marth blushed madly.

"Whoa, Lucina's naked!" Roy stared with a bloody nose. The dog and duck did the same, while making this creepy grin. Lucina lunged for Marth, creating a meteor hug.

"Marth-sama! It's been a long time!" From that fierce attack, they both fell into the water.

Robin and Ike sweat dropped. "So the boys are girls are connected. . .?" Robin thought to himself.

"Oh? Really?!" Wario jumped to the rocky wall and saw a scary bounty hunter.

"Mama mia."

"Stay on your side!" Samus grabbed his head and threw him like a fastball, crashing straight to the cold water section.

"Don't worry, I'm wearing a swimsuit. See?" Lucina pointed to her school swimsuit.

"Oh, okay. So, it was just my imagination?" Marth thought.

Mario and Peach were walking in their light summer yukatas even though it's still spring. . . The Smash Resort offered free summer yukatas for those who paid for a room at the Resort.

Shopping/Food Area

"What's the matter Peach?" Mario asked the mushroom princess. Peach just sighed, staring at the takoyaki she bought, and other junk food. "I miss Cloud. . ."

Mario's ears started to bleed because his ears were allergic to word 'Cloud.' "Mama mia! That bastard?!"

"Mhm," Peach answered, "if only he were here! Oh, it will be a day. I can only imagine. . ."

Peach's Weird Imagination. . .

Peach and Cloud were walking on the streets with their light summer yukatas.

"Are you enjoying this day my love?" The spiky haired punk asked.

"Oh yes I am, Cloudy-kun!" Peach squealed. She had her arm wrapped around Cloud's, slowly walking together. And all of the jealous girls stare at them.

"Cloudy, why are they staring at me with those hateful eyes? I'm scared!"

"They are jealous of your beauty, Princess. If anyone were to hurt you in such a way, they'll regret it when they come to me."

"Oh Cloudy! My hero!"

"Princess. . ." Both coming in for a kiss, Mario watched like a peasant, crying in the streets.

End of Imagination

"Won't that just be great?! Eek!"

Mario grunted and rolled his eyes. "No way."

Mountains. . .

"Look there's berries!" Ness plucked a berry from a random bush and put one in his mouth.

"How does it taste?" Lucas asked.

"Mmh! SUGOI! It's delicious!" Ness gleamed.

"Make sure you catch up!" Makato called out to them. "Don't eat strange things you don't know as well."

"COMING!" They both said running up the mountain to meet Makato. It was a beautiful forest. You may think it's a wallpaper from Google.

"You collected a lot of mushrooms there! There's like spotted and brown and white and- -are you going to make something delicious?" Ness panted, as he caught up with Makato.

"Yep."

"Can I be the first to try it?!" Ness eye's sparkled.

"No I wanna be the first!" Lucas panted.

"No I do!"

"No I do!"

"No I do!"

"You guys can both be the first." Makato interrupted.

"Yaya!" They both cheered.

10 minutes later. . .

"I'm bored! Can we go back?" Ness whined, "My legs are hurting!"

"Perhaps you need to work out more." Lucas snickered.

"As you wish, let's head back." Makato said. "I think we collected enough." She carried a giant basket of mushrooms on her back. Some were even falling from the overfill of mushrooms.

"You think?! Those mushrooms could feed an entire family of 2!" Ness exclaimed.

"No! 3!" Lucas argued back.

"2!"

"3!"

"2!"

"3!"

"2!"

"3!"

"Ok then! Last one back is a rotten mushroom!" Ness said as he dashed the opposite way.

"Hey! Cheater!" Lucas yelled, running after him.

Makato sweat dropped and giggled. "So cute, both of them." Makato was about to head their way till she stopped and stared at the ground. Something caught her eye.

A golden white-spotted mushroom, appearing before her feet. Something told her to get it. "I never seen such mushrooms like these! Oh, there's more, and more, and more. . .!" Makato followed the trail of the golden mushrooms each picking up one by one.

Game Room

The game room was located in the Smash Resort. Modern games, arcade games, sport games. . . and more. It was a medium size amount of people in the game room, which included the some of the Smashers.

"Hey, want to hear a scary story that was based on a true story that was based on a true story that was based on a true story?" Lucina asked the group. Ike, Marth, Roy, Pit, Link, Miru, Zelda, Samus, Robin, and eavesdroppers shrugged and listened. Most of the people in the game room were wearing yukatas. Lucina sat on a billiards table, interrupting someone's game.

"Hey! We're trying to play here!"

Lucina started the story with a serious author voice. "Long ago, a man, named Richard, lived in a forest. Filled with trees, plants, animals, bugs, and most importantly, nature. He lived with his new wife Clarabelle."

Roy started to bite his nails. "That's a scary name!"

Lucina continued. "They loved each other so much. Until one day. . ." Lucina faced turned into a dark and scary one. Never before seen.

"What happened?" Pit asked.

"One day, they got into an argument."

"That's so scary!"

"ROY STOP INTERRUPTING!" Marth smacked him upside the head.

"Ow! Ok! OK!"

"Richard was so angry, so furious, so upset, he grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed her to death!"

Marth panicked and squeezed Ike's waist like a pillow, including Roy and Pit.

"Hey, get off me. . ."

"Poor Clarabelle." Zelda said.

"S-s-s-stabbed to death, like in those movies?" Roy stuttered.

"Yes, like in those movies." Lucina nodded her head, making the most creepiest face ever. "Richard enjoyed killing his wife so much, he opened up her insides and played with her beating, bloody heart. His love for human flesh began to grow. . . of young women. . ."

"That's just weird." Samus said.

"Everytime he brought in beautiful women, Richard would talk all nice and cute to them. Then, once he gets them distracted, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! Cooking the rest of the body into his homemade stew. . . or soup."

The group shivered.

"I feel like throwing up now." Marth covered his mouth facing Ike.

"If you dare to even puke on me, I swear-!" Ike popped a vein, glaring at him.

"The police never found him, nor the bodies, because they're all inside his stomach, turning into poop. And that poop-"

"Did you really need to mention that?" Robin said.

"Do I make you feel all icky inside the stomach?" Lucina changed her voice into a loli type voice. The heads nodded and Lucina laughed.

Marth leaned over to Ike and whispered, "How about someone can dress up as this Richard guy for Operation Rescue Me Senpai?"

"You actually believe that story?" Ike arched a brow.

"Yea, but it might work!"

In the deep forest. . .

"Ah there's a trail of them!"

Makato kept on picking up the golden mushrooms like there was no tommorow. She then heard a voice of laughter. She looked up and saw a man right in front of his cabin she assumed. "Young miss, hello." He made a warm greeting smile. He had short, wavy cream colored hair. And he looked pretty much in his early 30s. He was wearing a brown shirt and jeans, with brown sandals. Handsome and attractive.

Makato smiled and sweat dropped. "Oh, are these your mushrooms? I'm so sorry!"

"No, no. They grow a lot here."

Makato looked around her surroundings. "I see. . . eh. . .? Where am I?" She felt lost. . . in the middle of a forest.

"Are you lost young miss? Would you like a map of this place?" The man reached for his pocket and gave her a folded map.

"Oh, thank you so much. Well, see you later!"

"Wait!" The man blurted out suddenly. Makato turned to him with a questioned look.

"You know, with those golden mushrooms, I can make a delicious tea with them! W-would you please try it?"

"Mushroom tea?"

"Please stay in for tea? It must been a far walk! Oh, um. . . my name is Gin."

". . .I'm Makato. I guess, I can try some." Makato entered Gin's house as he led her in. "So do you love mushrooms?" Gin asked.

"I do," Makato answered.

"Well, you'll certainly love my famous Mushroom Tea!"

They both laughed.

Back to Game Room

"First signs of the Killer Richard." Lucina pointed a finger to everyone. "He sets up these delicious golden mushrooms that only women can see! You can't help it but to pick each and every single mushroom! Leading directly to his house."

"That's just scary!" Roy commented.

"Then he'll make you a delicious, mushroom dish or a drink, using the golden mushrooms you have picked up."

"YUMMY!" Kirby cheered.

"While you eat his food, you don't know that you're poisoned. Those golden mushrooms are poisonous! They are mind controlling mushrooms!"

"Scary!"

"Like a zombie!"

"Richard would give you a command, to stay with him every night because he's feeling lonely, something like that, blah blah blah for 2 nights. Then on the third night, he'll trap you and then. . ." Lucina made a cerade with a mad killer holding up a thick, sharp knife. "-OFF GOES YOUR HEAD!"

"Ah!"

"What a scary fictional story!" Zelda said.

"It's real!" Pit said.

Gin's Cabin. . .

Makato sat in a comfy and cosy couch while waiting for Gin to make the mushroom tea using all of the golden mushrooms she had picked. Makato didn't mind though.

Gin stood in the kitchen, waiting for the hot water to boil. The water was done and he poured the hot water from the kettle to her cup, put the grinded mushrooms in her tea. Gin walked to her slowly and handed Makato the tea.

"Thank you Gin." Before she took a sip she heard a faint noise. "Um, did you hear that Gin?"

"Hear what?" He asked, confused.

Makato shook her head. "Nevermind, it must have been me. . ." Makato took a small sip and was surprised of its taste. "Wow, this is so good! Thank you."

Gin chuckled lightly. "No problem. . . Enjoy."

Seconds later, Makato suddenly dropped her tea on the soft carpet. Her eyes looked dead as she stared into space.

Gin picked up the cup and waved his hand right at her face. "Good, it worked." After Gin set the teacup on the small coffee table, he said a command to Makato.

"You shall come back here tonight 10:00 P.M. Until then, go back to where you came from. There's still someone I got to deal with. . ."

"Ok. Good bye." Makato grabbed her bag and mushrooms and left the cabin.

Resort

Makato arrived back to the room deluxe room. Only a few people were in here. Ness, Lucas, and Whiskers De Pablo. Makato petted the small kitten, while it slept.

"Oh, I never knew mushroom tea tasted so good. . . Hehehe."

"Makato! We've been so worry! You're so slow when it comes to walking back from the mountains!" Ness ran up to her and hugged her legs. Lucas followed behind. "Welcome back!"

'Now I got the Princess under my control. . . Hehe. I can hear every conversation.' Gin said.

"I know drink this!" Ness grabbed a healing potion from her bag and gave it to her.

"Ok." Makato grabbed the potion and drank it. Suddenly Gin lost connection to Makato's mind.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Ah! That healing potion hit the spot! I want to make something with mushrooms!" Makato smiled happily.

"Yay! Makato's cooking!" The two kids cheered.

"We won't be needing any dinner from the resort. Would you mind calling them? I can't believe this place room has a kitchen."

"I'll do it!" Lucas ran to the phone on the small desk and started to dial the number.

'I shouldn't underestimate her! Next time, when we meet, I'll get her for sure! I'll make her mine. . . She's my Precious. . . Yes. Precious.' Gin walked into his hidden basement to deal with his current victim. After he locked the door, he walked over to her tied victim and yanked her long, beautiful hair so he could see her puffy, crying face.

"I almost got caught by my Precious because of you. Let's make this quick my, Sunshine. Every beautiful girl I meet, I must give them a lovely name. I'll reserve you and store you safely, just like Moonlight, Sugar, Pudding, Sweety, Diamond, Pearl, Chocolate, Cutie, and the lovely ladies others which I can't remember. That is why I label them! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He laughed insanely.

The young woman screamed like crazy through the ropes in her mouth. Gin's eyes widen with excitement as he grabbed his famous butcher knife from his knife cabinet and walked up to the young, beautiful girl.

Game Room

After listening to Lucina's story that was based on a true story, everyone relaxed and played games in the game room. Most people couldn't help but to notice a really cool table tennis match that is happening between Sonic and a masked guy wearing a yukata.

"Who's that guy in the mask? He's really good at ping pong!"

"Hey! Sonic's good as well!"

"500 times in a row so far! 501! 502! 503-!"

"He's seems so determined!"

"Bro! So determined!"

"Whoa, this is so cool! I need to take pictures!" Roy brought out his camera and made some shots.

"I didn't know he played ping pong." Marth said, drinking a bottled water.

"I heard they're betting on who's buying takoyaki." A man said.

"Takoyaki huh?" Ike said. He stared at the masked man then at Sonic. As they both played the heated game of table tennis, Ike walked up behind Sonic, leaning close to his ear. "Hey, Sonic Amy's right behind you."

"GAH!" Sonic ditched his paddle and ran up on an arcade machine. The plastic, white ball bounced on the ground after the masked man received it.

"Oh, Sonic lost." Pit said, eating popcorn.

"The winner is masked man!"

Men and women clapped around him. The masked man did a hand trick with his paddle and put it behind his back. People were confused from his actions.

"Why did he treat that paddle like a sword?"

"I think that's his victory pose." A man said.

"Maybe we should try it! Every time we win a game!"

"Force habit. . ." He muttered.

Sonic noticed no sight of the pink hedgehog, wondering, was Ike lying to him?

"Hey, you did that on purpose!" Sonic exclaimed, he hopped off the arcade and crossed his arms.

"So you really are afraid of Amy. . ." Ike picked up his paddle that the blue hedgehog ditched and face the masked guy. "I wanna verse him. And see who's behind the mask."

The masked guy was about to serve the ball. Before he did, he glanced at Sonic. Sonic nodded his head that it was okay. The masked guy then looked back at him and served the plastic ball.

Ike hit the air as the plastic ball bounced on the ground. The Smashers sweat dropped.

Roy and Pit bursted out laughing. "Wow, man you suck!" The paddle struck Roy so hard in the head, he collapsed. Ignoring the somewhat dead Roy, Marth picked up the paddle right next to his body. "Lemme try. . ."

Marth was able to make a hit with the plastic ball but that luck failed at the end.

"Good job Marth-Sama!" Lucina clapped.

"Pitty cheer." Miru muttered.

"Shut up." Marth handed the paddle to Miru. "Let's see how you do it."

Miru stared at the paddle. ". . ." Miru picked the plastic ball and looked deeply into it. Everyone watched, waiting for him to serve.

"Look at that intense battle aura." Link said.

"I know." Ike agreed, nodding.

"It's been 5 minutes. . ." Robin said, getting bored.

Miru relaxed and laughed a little. "How do you play?"

"?!" Everyone said.

"Hey! I never played table tennis before, and besides, I was a little bird for 2 years! You expect me to know how to play table tennis?" Miru crossed his arms, feeling highly offended.

"S-sorry, Miru. But, you should have said something then." Marth sweat dropped.

Lucina smiled at Miru and slowly took the paddle away from him. "Let the Great Lucina show you how it's done!" She winked.

Miru blushed and for a long time, his heart skipped a beat. "O-ok."

Lucina faced the masked man holding the paddle and the plastic ball. "Get ready-!" Lucina threw the ball high up into the air. The masked man followed the ball with his eyes as he looked up.

"HAH! GOT YOU DISTRACTED!" Lucina viciously threw the table tennis paddle straight at the masked man. The paddle made a cracking sound when it hit his mask. The masked man fell over from the pressure. Everyone gasped.

"Now that's how you play!" Kirby shouted.

"Hehehe, what a fool. . . They don't call me the 'Destroyer' for nothing. . ." Lucina shook her head making a mocking look. Marth slapped Lucina with a paper fan on the head. "You are you crazy?! That's not how you play table tennis!"

"That's was like martial arts table tennis. . ." Ike scratched his head.

"I had to admit that was pretty funny. . . Maybe I should try that. . ." Roy said.

"I'm sorry Marth-sama!" Lucina cried.

"Hey, buddy, are you okay?" Sonic asked him, kneeling next to him.

"Wait, Sonic, he's your friend?" Pit asked.

"Yea. . ."

"What's his name?" Ike asked.

Sonic stared at the mysterious friend as he got up from the ground. "I hate this game."

"Wait, don't tell me you're depressed over a game of table tennis just because you got hit by a girl."

The masked man walked away from the crowd. He passed Lucina while she simultaneously apologized to him. Before he left for good, he turned his head to Sonic. ". . . .You owe me takoyaki." He then left the game room.

"He's sound like he got dumped by his girlfriend and then got dumped by his new girlfriend and then got dumped by his newest girlfriend and then got dumped by his current girlfriend and then got dumped by his girlfriend seconds ago! I feel kinda bad for the poor kid." Roy shook his head.

"He doesn't want anyone to know who he is. That's why he bought a mask." Sonic said.

"Strange. . ." Marth said.

"He sounds emo." Zelda said.

"Well, gotta buy that takoyaki! Later kids!" Sonic, using the same old Sonic speed, left.

"I blame Lucina for this. She made the game room even more boring!" Pit complained.

Lucina crossed his arms and pouted! "Fine! I'm outta here! Let's go Robin! Show us your room Kirby!"

"Aye aye!" Kirby lead the way as they left the game room. Everyone continued to play games in the game room. Ness and Lucas ran to the game room making bird noises.

"So you guys are back from hiking?" Marth asked the two. They both nodded their heads and ran off to an open game of Temple Run.

"So that means Makato is back as well. . . I wonder what she is doing." Ike said.

"Don't you even think about looking for her." Marth said.

"If you teach me how to play this stupid table ping pong- -whatever shit."

"Ok ok. . . Get a paddle and I'll show you how."

8_8

"Poyo poyo! Here we are, the biggest room in the Smash Resort!" Kirby said running into the room with his palms in the air.

"Oooh!" The strange people said. Lucina sniffed the air and drooled. "There's a kitchen?" Lucina walked in and saw Makato cooking.

"Makato! What are you making? It smells so good! Can I help?!" Lucina ran up to her with sparkle in her eyes. Makato turned around, recognizing that voice.

"L-Lucina!" Makato was surprised from her presence.

"Heehee, long time no seen!"

"How did you get here?"

"Kirby." She pointed to him staring at the food on the stove. "Also, we're here on vacation. My dad and Robin."

"Robin. . . Where is he?" Makato saw his white hair and his face as he walked up to Lucina.

"It's been a while Makato, how are you?" He greeted.

"Hello Robin. I'm doing fine thank you for asking. What about you?"

"Same here."

Lucina stared at both of them and then at the pot. "It smells like mushrooms. . . Is that raw chicken? Right there?!"

"Oh yes. I'm making dinner." Makato answered.

"Can I do the rest?! Pleeeease! I wanna help! I'll help! You can take a break! Kirby can help me!" Lucina folded her hands and begged.

"Who said I'll help?!" Kirby snapped.

"She really wants to make dinner that badly. . ." Robin sighed. "There's no point stopping her. She really likes to cook deadly food. . . *cough* -I mean food that is so good, it will hit you so hard, you'd fall into a coma." He muttered at the end.

Makato scratched her head, "It's chicken with mushrooms. . . I hope it's enough for everyone."

'I'm sure it is. . .' Robin sweat dropped, seeing 20 giant pots of mushrooms. Robin opened the oven, seeing over 100 pieces of chicken breast baking.

"Don't worry! Leave the rest to me! You guys should go on a walk or something! I'll take over." Lucina pushed them out of the kitchen with a giant grin.

Robin reached for the phone and called an All-you-can-eat buffet Chinese meal. He thanked the man from the phone and hung up.

"Why are you calling for more food?" Makato asked.

"Oh, you know. . . Just in case. . . Let's go, shall we?"

Shopping/Food Area

"Thanks for the hard lessons of table tennis." Ike said, rubbing his shoulders.

"Was it that hard?" Marth asked.

". . .Yea. I think my brain cells are about to explode."

"I'll buy you some food, okay?"

As they walked around the area, they saw Peach sitting on a bench, looking depressed. The two teens glanced at each other and then looked back at Peach.

"Hey, what's wrong Peach?" Ike called out to her. They both walked up to her and sat right next to her.

"Oh, Ike. Marth. . . I'm waiting for Mario. He said, he'll buy me some takoyaki."

"But, don't you. . ." Marth pointed to the junk food and takoyaki that was untouched.

". . .have food?" Ike finished.

Peach sighed and slouched. "I could care less about the food, I want Cloudy!" Peach threw the food up in the air. Ike jumped in the air, grabbing chicken kebabs, fries, hamburgers, chips, hot dogs, cotton candy, fried chicken, fried shrimp, and takoyaki before it landed on the ground. Ike sighed in relief and took a bit of the hamburger.

"What about your lovely Italian Hero, Mario?" Marth said.

"If he were to look like my Cloud. . ."

"Clouds in the sky?" Ike said, munching on a bag of Lay's Chips.

"No!"

"I want this yellow bird mask." A voice said across from them. The three of them stared across and saw Sonic and his mysterious buddy.

"Oh! It's Sonic and his friend!" Marth said. Suddenly Marth, just now realized. . . Thinking about it kinda scared him. He gulped, while sweat slowly fall from his pale face.

"Hey, Ike. . . His hair. . . It's spiky and blonde. . ."

"Huh?" Ike got the shock as well. "I've never realized his hair was blonde. . ."

Marth leaned a little closer to Ike's ear. "Could it be? From the Mario and Sonic War?"

"That may be a possibility. . ."

Marth glanced back at the masked guy. "He's about to put his mask on!" Marth noticed his hand movements.

Ike quickly grabbed a small hand full of rocks and chucked them straight at the masked man's head.

"Whoops! My hands slipped!" All of the pebbles bounced off the back of his skull, landing right next to his feet. He slowly turned around, revealing his irritated face.

Marth, Ike, and Peach gasped.

Peach's eyes melted like chocolate on a hot summer day. "IT'S-!"

"-MISTER COCKY PANTS!" Marth and Ike exclaimed.

"Don't call me that! And why did you add Pants?" He answered annoyed.

"Sonic, this guy is your friend?" Ike asked him.

"Yea, remember the Mario and Sonic War?"

"Oh oh. I see." Marth nodded happily. "So tell me, what did you do with your prize, especially with the huge amount of money you earned?"

Surprisingly, Cloud answered. "I've just started using the money. I'm taking a vacation. . ." He ruffled his spiky, blonde hair.

"Seriously, everyone is taking a vacation and it's not even summer. . ." Ike groaned.

Cloud picked up one of the pebbles that the mercenary threw at him. He flicked the rock at Ike's forehead on purpose. "Oh, my hand slipped as well. . ."

". . ." An intense aura came between the two.

"Something tells me they might be rivals in the future. . ." Marth shivered. "Ugh. . . And that was not a hand slipping!"

"I see, we're even huh?" Ike smirked.

Cloud didn't noticed Peach staring at him with glossy eyes and floating hearts. Sonic stepped back a little out of caution.

"My Cloudy! You knew I was here of all places!" Peach gazed at his weird, blue eyes as Cloud gave a blank, boring, unromantic stare.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Peach! Remember me?"

"Oh, you're not the slum drunk" Cloud answered, coughing awkwardly.

"I am so happy I can finally be with you forever! EEKK!" Peach embraced Cloud and he tried to shake her off of him.

"Let go. I want to eat my takoyaki!"

"HOW ABOUT YOU LET GO OF MY GIRL!" An angry plumber shouted at him. Mario had the container of takoyaki in his right hand.

"Mario!" Peach said. Peach released Cloud and turned to Mario.

"Oh, Mario. You discovered my undying love for my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Sonic, Cloud, Marth, and Ike and questioned at the same time.

"Who knew Peach had a boyfriend, I thought it was Mario. . ." Marth thought outloud.

"GET READY FOR ROUND TWO!" Mario dropped the box of food. Forming another fire ball.

"How about we not fight, okay buddy?" Sonic blocked Mario's way once again. "We are on a vacation. Might as well relax before you start to gray up your hair."

"I guess you do have a point." Mario relaxed his hands and walked away from them. "I'll go ask Luigi if he wants some takoyaki. . ."

Peach could see the sadness in his eyes. "Oh, Mario. . ."

"How about a gift shop?" Marth suggested to the mercenary.

5:20 P.M.

Gift Shop

The gift shop was more than just a gift shop, it was a gift market! The place was huge. Many customers were here, exploring, discovering, or buying cool items.

"So, how about we let Roy play the Killer Richard. He can disguise himself as an old man, kidnapping her, bringing her to his evil lair. And then, you show up, as the hero! Defeating the evil Killer Richard, saving the Princess!" Marth explained. Ike looked at the small, expensive 50 dollar key chains.

"So, Marth. Do you even know if Killer Richard is young or old?"

Marth sweat dropped. "Well, he was married. . . so I'm guessing. . . 30 or 40 or 50?"

"We'll buy the costume for Roy then. Something pedoish."

"I'm glad you like the idea!"

Ike smirked. "Anything to beat up a Roy. . ."

After they bought the costume. . .

"Makato, how are you and Ike doing?"

Ike heard only Robin's voice when he mentioned Makato. Was Makato in the gift shop?

"Oh, there they are." Marth lowered his voice pointing at the two. Ike followed his finger, seeing the two figures. They were near the snow globe section. Marth and Ike hid where they weren't in sight. Makato picked up a small globe. It had a little girl in a cute in a blue dress, walking in a crazy world.

"Ok. . . I guess. Why do you ask?"

Ike was kinda surprised from her answer. She didn't say he was a dick. Maybe she didn't want Robin to know. 'I guess some things are meant to be private.' Ike thought.

"Well, I thought you guys. . . you know? Would be together. . . in a place like this." Robin slowly said.

Makato smiled at the snow globe. "I would like this snow globe."

Robin stared at her and smiled. He placed his hand on her hand. "I can buy it for you."

"Really?" Makato gleamed.

"Just what is he doing to Makato anyway?" Ike growled, breaking a key chain in his palm.

"Calm down Ike!" Marth said. "That's money!"

"Thank you Robin."

Marth watched the whole thing while Ike focused on making a wooden knife.

"Hey, they're leaving! Let's follow them!" Marth grabbed Ike's arm and dragged him out of the gift shop.

"My my, time does go by so fast. . ." Michelle dipped her body in the hot water. "It's a good thing, no one is in the hot springs right now. . . or else, I'll be revealing my darkest secret. . ." Michelle stared at her hands and put them back into the water.

The Chinese Garden, located in the Smash Resort. Many people enjoy the garden.

Not as crowded, Makato and Robin walked on the bridge, being above the calming waters.

"I saw Ike making out with Samus. . ." Makato started, clenching to her snow globe.

"Samus? Why?" He asked.

Makato then stared at the fish in the river. "I don't know. . ."

"So, that is why you're feeling so down. And why you weren't with Ike." Robin nodded his head, getting the whole problem. They continued to walk until they both sat on bench. Both taking their seats, they didn't speak to each other. Ike and Marth watched from afar. Popo and Nana saw them and shrugged.

"You guys are creepy stalkers. . .' Popo commented.

"I have my reasons to stalk." Ike glared at the only white haired boy. "Eagle. . ."

"I do wonder. . . Does Robin. . . like. . ." Marth trailed, still unsure of Robin's feelings.

Few minutes later, Robin spoke. "I hope he apologizes. . ."

". . ." He's been apologizing non stop but she ignored them all. Still heartbroken.

"Or I might take you away from him. . ." He muttered.

"Oh, what was that? I didn't catch what you said at the end."

Makato felt was caught by his suprise kiss to the cheek. She blushed madly and stared at her snow globe, almost dropping it.

Robin got up, shaking his head. "Isn't the garden just beautiful?" Robin smiled.

". . .Y-Yes. I r-really l-like the flowers. . ." She stuttered. Makato placed her hand against her cheek, staring at Robin's back.

"Let's head back. I don't know what Lucina is doing right now."

"Ok."

"Now is our cue to leave, come on Ike." Marth felt nothing but air, he turned to his back and screamed inside his mind. 'What are you doing?! The Operation Rescue Me Senpai!'

"You'd better leave her alone." Ike angrily said, approaching the two.

'Ike?! What is he doing here?' Makato thought.

"I do not know what you're talking about Mister Ike." Robin said. Ike yanked the collar of his clothing, reeling him in close.

"What are you doing?! Leave him alone!" Makato exclaimed.

Ike ignored her, "She's not yours, she's mine. Got it?" He stared at him with bloodthirsty eyes.

"You don't own her. She doesn't love a two-timer like you, Mister Ike. . ." Robin answered. The white haired teen stared into his furious eyes. "I'm just keeping her company."

A hard blow landed on Robin's face, falling to the stone pavement. Makato screamed. People were watching. Some were chanting 'fight'. Ike didn't hear Makato's cries, nor Marth's annoying plan of the Operation. He was in flames.

"Ike, I think you should stop." Marth jogged up to Ike, pulling his yukata. "Come on, let's go!"

Ike pushed Marth away and walked towards Robin. "Don't get in my way. . . Not till I'm done with him."

Robin slowly got up, getting back on his knees.

Someone tugged onto Ike's shirt, crying for him to stop.

"Get out of the way!" Ike viciously, swiped the person across the face with his strong hand. He woke up from being bloodlust killer, shocked from his actions. The snow globe was release from her hands, exploding like a pop rock.

He never meant to hit Makato.

Resort

"OK! I am done! Dinner is served!" Lucina quickled placed each plate for each Smasher on the giant table.

"Um. . . what is this?" Roy gulped.

"I helped Makato make the chicken and mushroom dish! Enjoy!"

The food was in rainbows, and it smelled burnt as well as disgusting. Nobody touched the food, even Kirby.

"What a waste of mushrooms. Kirby tried so hard. . ." Kirby wept.

"Why did you help Makato?" Miru groaned in agony.

"You better eat it all!" Lucina crossed her arms.

"Hey, I got an order for an All-you-can-eat Chinese buffet!" A delivery man said.

"ALRIGHT!" Roy cheered.

The Smashers rejoiced, for they don't have to die tonight.

Lucina blinked in confusion. "Huh?"

9:20 P.M.

Outside of Resort

People would take lovely night walks, just to gaze at the bright stars. . . but not everyone was in the mood for stargazing and night dipping in the hot springs.

"Only if you'd listen, none of this would've ever happen!" Marth snapped at Ike.

". . ."

"I think you should be apologizing to Robin tomorrow. That was so inappropriate. Especially what you did to Makato. . . You also need to apologize to her. . . Poor Makato-chan. . ."

"So, about the whole Operation Rescue Me Senpai. . . ." Roy started, scratching his cheek.

"I don't know how it might work out this time." Marth explained. "Ike is too upset, he might not even do it."

"Well, what a waste of time. . ." Roy crossed his arms. "I'm going back into sleep, see ya." Roy then left.

Girl's Side of the Room

All of the girls were sleeping except for Michelle and Makato. Michelle helped put medicine on her cheek that was somewhat bruised. Before, she covered it with her hair, so know one would noticed during the dinner.

"So, tell me. How did this happen?" Michelle asked.

Makato didn't listen to her question. ". . . You know, I thought I would be furious. . . but. . ." Makato stared into space.

"Hmm?" Michelle was confused.

"It's hard to explain. I never seen him so angry. . . It scares me. . ." Makato grabbed a healing potion from her bag and drank it.

Michelle laughed a little. She closed the aid box. "I didn't know, you brought potions with you."

Makato let out a sad sighed. "Just in case. You never know what could happen."

The hate in his eyes. It was just so scary for Makato to witness. She suddenly held onto her aunt and cried. Michelle petted her hair and comforted her through the whole night. Makato doesn't even know anymore. She doesn't know if she can face Ike and make up.

That night she had another dream. It was the same place, with the same guy, sitting on the same place. . .

"Makato, you have two days left. . . before the 30th. There's still time."

Makato hugged her knees. "I'm sorry, I can't beat your challenge. I can't do it." Makato said. "Why must I force myself to do this? When I can't even put myself to do it. . ."
