Chapter 52: Reunion
May 30
Ike opened his eyes. It was still dark outside beneath the fresh curtains that blocked their new day. He glanced up at the clock on the wall and it read '4:20 A.M.'.
Ike yawned and checked on Makato, who was still sleeping beside Ike. "Makato. . . we need to go back to the Resort. Or else who knows what might happen." Ike said. Makato shifted in her sleep in response. "Just. . . five more minutes."
"Five more minutes is just another way to say five more hours. Wake up." Ike shook her arms. Still not moving, she continued to sleep. Ike climbed on top of her and dragged her arm out of the blankets.
"Let's go sleepyhead."
"No. . . Five more minutes."
Ike let go of her arm and she fell right back to the bed. "Stubborn huh?" Ike grabbed her foot and plucked out a random feather from a pillow.
"Mm. . . Stop it. Ah! Ok! OK! I'll get up! Please!" Makato bursted out laughing. Ike smirked and released her foot.
Makato slowly got out of the bed and yawned. Ike stared at her, reflecting in his mind. 'I don't want to lose you again. Never ever.'
"We'll sleep once we get back to the Resort. Come on." They both left the abandoned home on a dark morning. The forest brought in some light. Makato followed Ike, half asleep half awake. The man with the black spiky hair was right, they were both led by the light of the fireflies. The route to go back to the Resort.
Ike heard a thump behind him. He quickly turned around, seeing Makato on the ground.
"Honestly. . ." Ike carried her on his back and continued. Makato smiled in her snooze.
"I. . . love you, Ike. . ."
Ike heard those three words for the third time and smirked under his breath. The mercenary released her from his back. Makato wondered why he he released as she slowly opened her eyes. Ike laid her against a nearby tree, he kneeled next to her and touched her face.
"Makato, I'll be there for you always. You know that, right?" Ike quietly said.
Makato made a small yawn and nodded. "Mhm. . ."
"I know you're tired and all, but I hope you don't mind if. . ."
Makato giggled, "I don't mind. . ."
Ike smiled from her answer, kissing her once more.
Smash Resort
8:50 A.M.
While the Smashers ate their delicious breakfast, Lucina came barging in once again. Robin and Chrom followed like usual.
"Breaking news! Killer Richard was found dead with a chainsaw through his stomach in his own house!"
"GASP~!" Everyone gasped.
"Scary!" Ness shivered.
"That's so gorey!" Toon Link said.
"Sounds funny!" Roy laughed.
"You have a twisted mind you know that?" Link glanced at Roy.
"They actually found him?!" Marth asked.
"Yea! He was murdered! Nobody knows who killed him." Lucina relaxed, bringing in her homemade apple pie to the breakfast table. The Smashers groaned in disgust.
Lucina cutted herself a slice of pie. "But the police didn't care who killed him. Just as long as he was dead. So from their token of gratitude, they burned the whole house to the ground."
"I see." Meta Knight said.
"Isn't that a bit crazy much?" Link said.
"Looks like I'm safe from jail. . ." Ike muttered.
"LOL. Did you say something?" Roy laughed out loud.
"It's just your imagination."
"Meow!"
"Woof!"
"Quack!"
Marth cutted a piece of his pancake while he was at it, "Ike, where were you last night? Somewhere with Indigo huh?"
Ike stared at his loaded plate with breakfast. "If you say so."
"You're quite the lady's man aren't you?"
"Um, I think you're talking about yourself, Marth." Ike said.
"Oh, I think you may be right!" Marth saw Makato and Samus sitting together. "Samus and Makato are getting along now. . ."
"Come on, try it." Samus smirked, holding a sausage to Makato's mouth, with a fork. Makato leaned back a little away from the sausage.
"You are so sadistic." Makato murmured, quivering.
"Just try it. You said you would do anything as your token of apology. So, just try it." Samus stuffed the sausage into her mouth. Makato's face turned purple then blue then in rainbow colors.
"Does it taste good? Especially the one at this place?"
"Uh, get dis peg produck out ov mai mowth." Makato mumbled with her mouth full.
"Not very princess like to be talking with your mouth full." Samus laughed. Makato forced herself to swallow the food and let out a disgusted sigh. "Bleh."
"Huh?" Samus smirked, leaning in closer to Makato's neck. "Is that. . . what I think it is?"
Makato realized the bounty hunter was eying directly at her neck. Makato quickly placed her hand on her neck, all flustered. "W-what is what?"
"Oh, there's another one." Samus check the other side of her neck.
"Did you guys make up?" Marth asked Ike.
"Yea. . ." Ike answered.
"How?"
"Half of it involved the Operation Rescue Me Senpai. And the other half involved Operation Gomenasai." Ike said.
"That's great. Was it last night?"
Ike made a thumbs up. "On a full moon, baby!"
Marth stood silent after that.
Ike cleared his throat from his mistake. "I mean, yea. . ."
Marth laughed a little. "Well, I'm glad everything's fine between you guys. . . .What about Indigo?"
"Indigo? Who's Indigo?" Ike made a silly face shrugging.
"Stop pretending you don't know her!"
"Ah! It's a hickey! Those are hickies, aren't they?!" Samus grinned. Makato sweat dropped. Ike overheard Samus and started to choke on air.
"Ike, are you ok?" Marth asked.
"Better than ever." Ike coughed.
Makato gulped and faced her eyes away from Samus, making a silly face. "It's. . . um, a funky mushroom that I ate! These spots suddenly appeared on my neck! Pretty weird story! Heehee!"
"So, you were looking for mushrooms, Makato? Yesterday? We were worried sick about you." Miru said.
"I'm sorry to make you so worried Miru."
"Oh, you love mushrooms a lot don't you?" The mysterious white-haired man appeared out of nowhere.
"Robin!"
Ike demolished a boiled egg in his hand. "Ike, why do you look so angry?" Marth asked.
"Oh Marth. You got it all wrong. This is just my happy face."
"You're lying!"
"IS EVERYONE HERE AND ALIVE? GOOD!" Master Hand was about to make an announcement. "BEFORE WE LEAVE THE SMASH RESORT, ALL OF US THAT ARE HERE, WE WILL BE TAKING A FAMILY PHOTO!"
Nobody said anything, but to stare at the giant, white hand.
"DID I STUTTERED OR SOMETHING?! MOVE IT!"
"Yea, you heard the man guys! I'll just be over here. . ."
Marth grabbed Roy's shirt before he moved anywhere else. "Nope, you're in this as well."
Everyone wore their good outfits for the picture.
Everyone, including the guest, stood altogether in the garden. The camera crew were there as well. "Um, are you guys related?" One of the camera people asked.
"What kind of question is that?" Zelda giggled.
". . .So, you guys are related?"
"Of course not!"
The man had a retro camera with the black screen cover and the push on the button. "Ok, well, get into places everyone." The Smashers looked stiff and nervous.
"You guys don't have to hold your breath you know."
Many Smashers deeply exhaled and sighed in relief. The camera men shook their heads.
"Alright people! Everyone say CHEESE!"
"CHEE-"
"EXTRA CRISPY BACON BITS WITH MSG AND CORN SYRUP!" Kirby cheered, bombing the photo. The next snapshot were the tough Smashers stomping on Kirby's body. After the big family photo, most people took pictures by themselves or with pairs or groups. Although the camera crew charged Master Hand a little more for some reason.
Makato walked up to Ike, while he was sitting on a rock by himself. "Ike, we should take a picture together." Makato suggested.
Ike looked up at the princess and smiled. "Yea, let's-"
"Let's take a group photo Makato-chan!" Marth came out of nowhere, grinning. Ike popped a vein, getting up from the rock. "Do you must ruin the moment?"
"It'll be fun!"
"I wanna be in it too!" Roy raised his hand.
"So do I!" Pit said.
"I'll be it as well." Miru said.
"I'll be with my lovely Niece." Michelle said.
"Count me in." Robin said.
"I love group photos!" Lucina cheered.
"I don't mind." Samus said.
"Agreed." Zelda said.
"I'll be in it." Link said.
"Don't forget me!" Peach said.
"I wanna be in it!" Mario said.
"I'll be in it with Mario if he's in it." Luigi said.
"I'll be there with my enemy if he's in it." Bowser said.
"If it can't be help. I might as well. . ." Chrom said.
"I wanna be in it as well!" Ness said.
"Me too please!" Lucas said.
"I'm in!" Toon Link said.
"Us too!" Ice Climbers said.
"Sounds fun." Snake said.
"Oh yea!" Captain Falcon said.
"As long as it doesn't take too long." Falco said.
"Count me in." Fox said.
"Sounds great." Sonic said.
"This better not take long." Wolf said.
"I hate photos. Why do I have to be in it?" Ganondorf growled.
"Don't forget the king!" King Dedede said.
"Another one won't hurt." Meta Knight said.
"I don't mind, as long as my Pokemon would be in it." Red said. The Pokemons nodded in unision.
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Yoshi!" Yoshi said.
"I love it when it smells like garlic!" Wario said.
"Hmph." Lucario said.
"Sounds like this would take 123 seconds." R.O.B. said.
"They won't notice me in the picture though." Olimar said.
"Hmm, as long as there's bananas." Donkey Kong said.
"As long as it's edible or not." Diddy Kong said.
"Beep beep!" Mr. Game and Watch said.
"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff said.
"Woof!" The dog said.
"Quack!" The duck said.
"Meow!" Whisker De Pablo said.
"Another one won't hurt the bills right?" Master Hand said.
DAMN STRAIGHT!" Crazy Hand said.
"And of course, I'll be the last one to say I'm in this photo bombing as well! I mean, POYO!" Kirby said.
". . .And who invited all of you freaks?" Ike stared at the randomly giant crowd of Smashers and people. The chattering gotten way louder than before. Makato couldn't help but to laugh a little bit. "I guess we'll be taking another family photo then."
"No no." Ike shook his head. "Expect, you'll be in the middle this time."
"Yes. I agree." Marth nodded.
"Oh my. . ." Makato didn't say anything but to show a smile of her gratitude.
"Well, another group photo, huh? You own me twice as much then!" The camera crew said.
"SAY SMASH FTW!"
"SMASHMWFOEIGORUBGOELOLWHEREISSCLOUDNGIEOGNFUCKWONGROPEOEBWPONPONPONOGSMOKEWEEDBFOWEBFORTHEOHWOWEMBRACEYOURDEAMSWEROWIENRWITRIGHTBOYOESHAKETHATASSFORMEWMEVERYONEDIEDEEWSMASHEFORTHEWIN!" All gambled up in a mush, the crowd said.
"Uh, close enough."
After their final picture that was highly expensive, everyone left the Smash Resort. Lucina and friends parted their own ways. Hoping to meet each other someday again perhaps.
Smash Mansion
2:10 P.M.
Everyone unpacked their stuff and straight after relaxed. Most people. . .
Makato was in her room. For fun, she decided to make cyborg robots out of the dead rats Marth gathered for her days ago. She heard a knock from her door. Makato smiled, knowing she was here. Makato walked to her door opened it.
"I came here like you asked." Zelda smiled.
"Yes, come in." Makato said. Once Zelda entered, Makato closed her door. The elf princess sat on her bed and Makato sat on her bed beside her.
"You know the Golden Flower, Zelda? The flower that stops all magic on May. You mentioned it in chapter 3."
"Yes?"
"There's five Golden Flowers today and I was able to locate one of the flowers. And I'm going to get that Golden Flower. To create the Golden Flower Goddess."
"The Golden Flower Goddess? What is that?"
Makato grabbed her potion book, opening a page with the image and information of the Golden Flower Goddess. "It's a very powerful spell-potion. Once you create the Golden Flower Goddess, she will stop any magic, possibly seal away someone's magic forever. And, I'm planning to use it on Mikoru."
"Mikoru? That evil guy?" Zelda didn't really understand that a flower can create such a powerful weapon. She nodded.
Makato sweat dropped. "I know Mikoru is up to something but I don't know when or what he is planning to do. So I thought of this. But it'll only be an emergency. Just in case if anything extremely bad were to happen. This will be a secret weapon. To stop Mikoru completely."
"Ok, I understand what you are saying. But this is like last minute, Makato. The Golden Flower would be useless once it hits June."
"I know. That's why I going to use a special bottle to keep it from withering." Makato held out an enchanted bottle, showing it to Zelda. "Once we get the Golden Flower. The rest of the ingredients shouldn't be that hard. . ."
"Well, let's go now." Zelda got up from her bed.
"Wait, it's extremely dangerous to gather up the Golden Flower. Many people that found its location tried to take it, but ended up dying in shame." Makato brought some potions out. Potion of Swiftness, Invisibility, and Protection. "Drink these. They'll last for about 5 hours. But not till we leave the Smash Mansion. The location of the that I found Golden Flower is pretty far. That's why I made a Sonic Potion! But it'll only last for 30 minutes." Makato said.
Zelda scratched her head. "So why of all people you choose me to help you with this?"
Makato frowned a bit. "Well, you're the only one who understands magic and potions." Makato said. "I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all. Especially helping a friend out."
"Thank you." Makato smiled. "Please don't tell the others about this. I already told Master Hand and Crazy Hand about this as well." Makato packed the potions into her bag and handed Zelda the same out of potions in her bag.
"Oh, what are the other ingredients to make the Golden Flower Goddess?" Zelda said, looking around. Makato opened her potion book and scanned the ingredient list. "1 Human Potion, 5 Love Potions, and Chemical X."
". . .Chemical X?" Zelda thought of the PowerPuff Girls and giggled.
"Chemical X is created with a Fire Dragon Scale, a Holy Wizard Flower and a cup of Holy Water. If I had a sealing bottle for the Holy Water at the Resort. Aww man." Makato sighed.
Zelda thought about the day when they went to get the Holy Wizard Flower and the scary encounter with the fire dragon. "Fire Dragon Scale? Holy Wizard Flower? Hmm. . . I think I know where that is."
"And I already have a Holy Wizard Flower and the human potion and love potions all in this secret indestructible box." Makato explained, showing the box.
"So just Holy Water and Fire Dragon Scale. . . No biggy." Zelda clasped her hands together. "Let's get going then!"
"Yes!"
So the two went on a adventure to find the Golden Flower and none of the Smashers nor Miru knew about it.
4:20 P.M.
Living Room
"Um, you guys do know tomorrow is Makato's birthday right?" Miru asked the group of Smashers.
"WHAAAAAT?" Marth, Roy, and Pit exclaimed.
"So, I didn't tell you guys?"
"Of course you didn't." Ike said.
"Makato didn't tell us." Marth said.
"Well, she doesn't tell people about her birthday." Miru said.
"Oh my gosh! We need to make the best birthday party ever!" Roy shouted, while petting his pet kitty.
"You are so right about that!" Pit said.
"I wonder what kind of cake she likes?" Marth thought outloud.
"Obviously, something with a shit ton of frosting!" Roy said.
"We need to go to Dollar Tree and buy the party supplies." Link said.
"What?! Dollar Tree? We don't buy cheap crap at that place." Ike said, shaking his head.
"We are not kids anymore." Marth said. "I wonder if there's going to be a pianta. I love piantas! Si si!"
"Well, I was planning we should do a surprise birthday party. Once Makato comes back to the Smash Mansion, we'll say 'SURPRISE'! And we will all celebrate."
"Sounds, like a p-p-p-plan!" Roy made a thumbs up. The other guys agreed, thinking of nothing creative.
"So, who's going to distract her?" Ike asked.
"Someone who doesn't like parties. . ." Pit said.
"Not Kirby, he spoils everything." Marth rolled his eyes from that thought.
"I think I got the perfect person." Link smirked.
"No, way in hell I'm doing it." Ganondorf declined. "I don't even like her!"
"Oh, shut up! How can you not like her?" Link said.
"All you have to do is take her to places and keep her from coming in the Smash Mansion." Miru said.
"Why Ganondorf? He might kidnap her again." Marth shot a cold look at the mutant pig.
"You still have a grudge on that?" Ganondorf arched a brow.
"We'll give you some ramen, how about it?" Miru said.
"No."
"Pie?" Pit asked.
"No."
"Money?" Ike asked.
"No."
"A pet of my Whiskers De Pablo?" Roy held up the cat to Ganondorf. "Meow!"
"No. I hate cats."
"What do you want then?" Link said.
Ganondorf thought about what he wanted. "Give me 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas and I might do it."
"You might?! Why you-!" Marth growled.
"Sure. Deal." Miru said.
"I want it now." Ganondorf commanded. "Once you give me the pizzas, you got yourself a deal." He then slammed his door. The group of boys stood their.
"Well, Kirby can make the pizza." Miru shrugged.
Or so they thought to get the pizza. . .
"No way in Planet Popstar that I am making 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas for Ganondorf!" Kirby declined. The guys sweat dropped.
"What do you want now?" Ike crossed his arms.
"Give me some comfy shoes from Ness and you got yourself a deal!"
Or so they thought to get comfy shoes. . .
"No way I'm giving Kirby my 1 out of 100 pairs of comfy shoes!" Ness declined.
"Is this going to be like this forever?!" Pit cried, getting on his knees.
"I want a new a cool laser gun!" Ness cheered. "It has to be from Falco though."
Or so they thought to get that laser gun. . .
"There's no way I'm giving Ness one of my laser guns." Falco declined.
"Nailed it." Pit said.
"Now what do you want?!" Marth said.
Falco smirked. "I want Peach's homemade chicken pot pie. Then I'll give him my laser gun."
"You do realize you're a bird right?" Ike sweat dropped.
You know how it goes. . .
"There's no way I'm making my homemade chicken pot pie for Falco! And he's a bird!" Peach declined.
"He said he's a falcon. Not a bird." Roy said.
"Please, don't make this harder for us!" Pit begged.
Peach pressed his finger against her lips. "Simple really, I just want a kiss from Cloud."
"CLOUD?" Everyone questioned.
Peach nodded happily. "I'm not giving him up yet! But you need to ask Sonic. Apparently, he knows where Cloud lives."
So they went to the Brawling Room where Sonic was at. . .
"Peach wants Cloud to kiss her so she can make the chicken pot pie for Falco and so he can give Ness his laser gun and so he can give his comfy shoes to Kirby and so he can make the 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas to Ganondorf so he can distract Makato for her surprise birthday party tomorrow?" Sonic summed it up.
"Yea, you got it all up." Roy said.
"Please don't say you want a Chaos Emerald or something. . ." Link said.
Sonic laughed and shook his head. "I already have the seven Chaos Emeralds! Ok, I'll do it. But you have to buy me a chilli dog."
The group was about to rage but after understanding Sonic's request, they relaxed. "Consider it done." Miru said.
"Ok, let's go to Smashville, Cloud lives there."
So they went to Smashville. The place where wannabe Smashers and cool places were located.
Smashville
"Mmh! Tasty!" Sonic smiled, eating his chili dog. Marth, Ike, Roy, Link, Pit, Miru, and Whiskers De Pablo followed him.
"So where's this Cloud guy?" Pit asked.
"Not that far. Somewhere in Fantasy Street." Sonic said.
Fantasy Street
Sonic knocked on the door a couple times, hoping the blonde to be here. The door opened but it wasn't Cloud. It was young woman. A busty one. Dark long brown hair, brown eyes, long legs, wearing a short white top, black skirt, with long black and red gloves, and red boots.
"Oh, hello Sonic." She greeted.
"Hey!"
"Are these your friends?" The young woman looked at the group. She noticed they were staring directly at her chest. She sweat dropped and cleared her throat which got the guy's attention.
"Um. . . yea. We were just wondering if Cloud was here."
"Cloud, he will be back in a short moment. He just left to buy some apples. Please come in."
Roy leaned over to Marth. "Dude, she has big- big combat boots!"
". . . Don't embarrased yourself."
The group of guys looked around the house. It was a medium size modern house. The guys sat on the couch. She served them some drinks and cookies sat across from them.
"Wow, I didn't know Cloud has friends." She murmured. "I'm Tifa, Cloud's childhood friend. Nice to meet you guys."
"Marth."
"Ike."
"Link."
"Pit."
"Miru."
"Meow!" All enjoying the cookies and drinks.
Ike spoke, "So, do you live here with Cloud?"
"Yep. He can't live here by himself. I'll be there for the housework and cooking so he wouldn't have to buy those drugs store foods."
"This is so funny. Cloud has a hot childhood friend. Imagine Peach's reaction! She would be so furious!" Roy snickered. Tifa smiled and then frowned. "I'm sure you heard of Cloud's depressing background story of what happen to his friends."
"The car crash incident right?" Sonic said.
"Car crash Incident?" Tifa raised an eyebrow. "No. That's not true. Cloud never driven a car before."
"That story he told me was a lie?"
"Probably." Tifa shrugged. "He's probably censoring the real story. You see, Cloud lived in Nibelheim and he wanted to be in SOLDIER."
"Why did you capitalize the whole word, soldier?" Marth asked.
"Because SOLDIER's SOLDIER. Not soldier, SOLDIER." Tifa explained.
Marth sweat dropped. "I still don't get it."
"You'll get it once I explain." Tifa explained about Cloud's life and what happened to Cloud's friends, Zack and Aerith.
"No wonder he's so depressed. He thinks it's his fault." Sonic said, understanding.
Ike was kinda mind blowned. He saw this Aerith in his dreams and the Zack guy at the forest. Both standing in the flesh.
"They were in the flesh though. . . I saw them. Were they ghosts?" Ike sweat dropped and shook his head. He picked up a chocolate chip to relax his confused mind.
"Please don't tell Cloud this." Tifa clasped her hands together. "He would be. . . mad. . ."
The sound of keys and the sound of a creaking door came from the direction the main door as Cloud entered his home. Cloud stared at some familiar people and some unfamiliar people at his house. He dropped the apples and was about to pull out his long sword.
"Whoa, Mr. Cocky, you brought your sword to the supermarket?!" Roy asked.
"Don't call me that." Cloud turned to Tifa and then to Sonic.
"Hey buddy, we were just waiting for you." Sonic waved.
"Is this a joke?" Cloud picked up his apples and closed the main door. He walked to to kitchen, passing the living room. Everyone stared at his presence.
"Sonic was looking for you." Tifa explained. "It's about something. . ."
"What is it?" Cloud asked Sonic.
Sonic turned to the group of boys and the group of boys looked at Miru. Miru didn't want the do the explaining. "We're planning to have a surprise birthday party for Makato."
"Oh! That sounds fun! Can I come?" Tifa interrupted.
"Anyone's invited. . . " Marth said. "That is. . . only if we know them. . ."
Miru continued, "And we need someone to distract Makato for tomorrow, while we set up the birthday party. So Link suggested that Ganondorf should do the distracting. So we asked him and he said no till we get him 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas. So we went to Kirby so he can make the pizzas, but he wanted shoes from Ness in order to make the pizzas, so we went to Ness, but he wanted a laser gun from Falco, so we went to Falco, but he wanted a chicken pot pie from Peach, so we went to Peach, but she wanted a kiss from you, so we went to Sonic because he knows you, but he wanted a chilli dog, so we gave him a chilli dog and we went to Smashville to find you and here we are at your house. I'll be forward with you. Can you kiss Peach?"
"What?! Kiss?!" Tifa got up from the couch in shock.
"You shouldn't be that surprised, Tifa. I thought you would be fine if your childhood friend gives a kiss to a girl." Marth said.
Tifa blushed. "Well- -no! I'm his childhood friend! Who's this Peach anyways?"
"A princess." Ike said.
". . ."
"She really likes Cloud. Ever since the Mario and Sonic War."
"Mario and Sonic War? Oh, that show! I've seen her on T.V.."
Marth shrugged. "Well, it's just a simple kiss. Cloud wouldn't mind."
"Not interested." Cloud popped a vein.
"Come on, didn't you hear the whole story behind this?" Miru said.
Cloud grabbed an apple from the bag and took a bite. "Why can't you get someone else to do it? To distract her?"
Nobody said anything because Cloud had a good point there. Roy suddenly burst out laughing.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TOO LATE FOR THAT!"
"Just do it. It's not that hard." Ike said.
Cloud glared at Ike and sighed. "No way I'm doing it. Leave, if you guys have nothing else to say."
"Cloud, I think. . . you should do it. I mean think about the birthday party. Sonic and his friends came all this way and they need your help." Tifa twiddled her fingers.
"I thought you would be the childhood friend to help me out on this situation, Tifa. . ."
"I'm sorry! But, I don't like this either, but. . ."
Roy made a scene to persuade Cloud. "Just like Tifa said. We came all this way just for your help! How could you do this to your friends, Mr. Cocky?! Eya! Eya!"
The depressive blonde sweat dropped. "Since when were you guys my frien- -fine, I'll do it."
"Banzai!" The guys cheered. Tifa smiled and clapped.
6:00 P.M.
When they entered the SSBB Mansion, most of the Smashers were shocked to see Cloud and a busty girl when Miru, Marth, Ike, PIt. Link, Sonic, and Roy arrived back at the Smash Mansion. Peach rushed out of the kitchen, revealing her dirty face. Seemed that she was making some kind of pastry. They stared at her with odd looks
"OMG! You actually got Cloud-kun!" Peach cheered.
Tifa walked up to Princess Peach and gave out her hand. "It's nice to meet you, Princess Peach. I'm Tifa. Cloud's childhood friend."
"Childhood friend huh?" Peach stared at her features and shook her hand. "I am Princess Peach, Cloud's future wife."
Tifa's eyes tensed up. "Future wife? You've got to be kidding."
"Once Cloud gives me a kiss and a ring. He'll be all mine."
"I only told him to do that. Cloud only listens to me. Also, we live together. We are like a happy family." Tifa bragged.
"You're lying." Peach glared.
Tifa glared back. "Go ahead, ask Cloud." An intense lightning battle came between them.
"Come on guys, stop fighting." Link said. "We only brought him so we can get started on the birthday party tomorrow for Makato."
"Makato's birthday is tomorrow?! OMG!" Peach was back into her happy mode. Tifa calmed down as well. "So her name is Makato. I would like to meet her."
"She's probably in her room doing something potion related." Miru said. "I'll go check." Miru left the group and head for the stairs.
Everyone stood their. Sonic, Marth, Ike, Roy, Pit, and Link stared at Cloud. Cloud couldn't take their stares.
"What are you waiting for Cloud? Kiss Peach already so she can make that chicken pot pie." Roy patted his back, snickering.
"So Falco can give his laser gun to Ness." Marth said.
"So Ness can give his comfy shoes to Kirby. . ." Pit said.
"To make that 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas for Ganondorf. . ." Ike added.
"So he can distract Makato tomorrow!" Kirby came out of nowhere. The teens glared at the puffball who smiled innocently.
"You know, this is all your fault. . . Why can't you just go to the Nike Factory?" Marth stared at the puff ball.
"Puh-lease! Ness has the best Earthbound Brand! I want those!"
"This is just too much. . ." Cloud muttered.
"Go Cloud-Honey." Tifa patted his shoulder, "Just pretend it's me, alright?"
"I don't know if it's worst or not. . ."
Miru came back downstairs going back to the group. "She's not there. Samus said she saw Zelda and Makato leaving the mansion. Like they were going on an adventure or something."
Ike can only hope for Makato's safety. "Probably they went shopping or something." Marth said.
"Where did Peach go?" Miru asked.
"She said she wanted to clean herself up before the big kiss." Pit said.
"Hmph. Cloud only likes the childhood friend type of girls. Right?" Tifa glanced over at Cloud.
"Can I leave?" Cloud said, bored.
"Not yet buddy." Sonic said.
"Okay! I'm ready!" Peach was in a beautiful, silky, white long dress that almost looked similar to a. . . wedding gown? Everyone cringed from her outfit.
"Holy shit! Peach! Why are you wearing a wedding gown?!" Roy exclaimed. He wanted to burst out laughing. Mario watched from the corner, glaring at the blonde haired boy.
"Well, we're getting married after we kiss." Peach made a cute face. She walked up face to face with Cloud.
"Wow, Cloud, I didn't know you're getting married." Ike said.
"I'm not." He answered.
Ness, Falco, and Ganondorf came to watch as well.
"Do it for my laser gun!" Ness said.
"Do it for my chicken pot pie!" Falco said.
"Do it for my 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas." Ganondorf said.
"Do it for my comfy shoes!" Kirby said.
"Do it for me, Cloud." Peach purred.
Cloud stared at his surroundings. 5 greedy people that all want something and this is all for Makato to get distracted for her surprise birthday party tomorrow. Cloud didn't like it one bit. Cloud looked back at Peach. Slightly hesitating, he gently grabbed her face and pecked her on the cheek. Everyone gasped, they didn't think he would actually do it.
Marth smelled someone's anger raging up in flames. He turned to follow the smell and saw Mario lurking behind in flames.
"Oh my. . ."
Peach's face became cherry red as she squealed like the loud fangirl she already was. Jumping up and down, she ran to the kitchen and gave the already made chicken pot pie to Falco.
"I knew Cloud would kiss me! Here you go!"
"Wait, already knew this would happen?!" Pit dropped his jaw.
"Mhm!"
"Oh boy! Chicken pot pie!" Falco gave the laser gun to Ness. Ness gleamed at the laser gun and gave his comfy shoes to Kirby. Kirby cheered and gave the 10 Supreme Meat Pizzas to Ganondorf. It looked like they all knew this would happen.
"Well mission complete." Ike said.
"Now we can really get married!" Peach hugged Cloud. Tifa broke the grip and glared at Peach. "You are not getting married to Cloud!"
"Yes I am!"
"No you're not!"
"Yes I am!"
"No, you're not!" The two girls kept on arguing back and forth.
"So now would you distract Makato like you promise, right?" Link eyed Ganondorf.
Ganondorf took a large bite of the meaty pizza. "You must be joking. To think I would do something that foolish for her. Hahahahaha!"
"Why you son of a bitch! I'm going to slaughter you like in those pig houses!" Marth was about to draw his sword, however Ike stopped him.
"Hey! You promised! Pinky promised!" Roy held out his own pinky. "PINKY FUCKING PROMISED!"
"I never pinky promised! I said I might! You guys need better hearing. Hahahaha!"
"That's just mean." Pit crossed his arms. "It's like you don't care for her."
"Kidnapping her was a way of caring for her. Maybe I will distract her. Take her to a hotel maybe. . . and. . . do some experiments with her." Ganondorf evilly snickered.
Ike's eyes became blood thirsty. He was about to get his sword but Link stopped him.
"Well, someone else can do it then. . ." Pit stretched his wings.
"Yea, fuck Ganondork! Someone else can do it that actually has a heart." Roy said.
"No, he must do it. He must take back what he said." Marth glared at Ganondorf who was just eating his pizza.
"I'll do it."
Everyone was shocked to hear Cloud say that.
"Cloud?" Tifa said.
"Then why did you kiss Peach then?" Miru asked.
"Well, if you wanted to do it, you should have said so! Haha!" Ganondorf scoffed.
"I only did it so you guys can realize your own selfishness." Cloud said with a cold voice.
Peach, Kirby, Ness, and Falco didn't say anything.
"Ooh. Burned." Kirby whispered. Ike stepped on Kirby and evilly grinned. "You're one of them as well you idiot."
Ganondorf glared at Cloud for a long period of time. Cloud only stared back at him with no emotions. The evil pig stomped away, dropping some on the whole pizzas.
"Ooh! Extras!" Kirby scrambled out of Ike's shoe and head for the pizzas.
"I feel so ashamed in myself. . ." Peach murmured. Tifa smiled, but kept her mouth shut.
"Hey, Mr. Cocky- I mean Cloud. . ." Marth started, "Do you even know what she looks like?"
Cloud shook his head. "No. And don't call me that."
"You'll like her! She's so nice and pretty too!" Pit gazed up at the ceiling. "I wonder where she is right now?"
Marth smiled. "You can come back in the morning tomorrow and we'll start the Operation Surprise."
Ike crossed his arms. "You just made that name up didn't you?"
Cloud nodded and glanced at Tifa and head for the main door. "Let's go."
"Alright." Tifa answered. She followed him and looked back at the Smashers. "See ya later!" She waved.
The two guest left and Roy bursted out his laughter. "LOL! What a day, huh guys?!"
"You've been saying LOL lately." Link sweat dropped.
"LOL, I know right?! Hahaha! This is just too funny! Hahahahaha!"
9:30 P.M.
Makato and Zelda arrived back in the Smash Mansion. Tired and exhausted, they headed to Makato's room.
"I thought we were done with that 7th boss, then BAM! There comes number 8." Makato said.
"So many monsters just to guard the Golden Flower. I see why so many people died. . ." Zelda said.
Makato's Room
After unpacking and setting some things down. . .
"Thank you so much Zelda. We now have the Golden Flower. All is needed is the Fire Dragon Scale and Holy Water and the Golden Flower Goddess will be created." Makato placed the Golden Flower in her secret indestructible box.
"It's no problem at all. Although, it took longer than I expected. Hehe. Oh well."
Makato stared at her secret indestructible box, holding it. She turned to Zelda.
"Zelda. I want you to take this." Makato handed the box over to Zelda.
Zelda was surprised "Wait! Makato! You must be joking!"
"No, I'm not joking. I want you to keep this. I want you to please try create the Golden Flower Goddess. If anything were to happen to me. . ."
Zelda hesitated and nodded. "Alright. I'll take good care of it."
"Thank you very much, Zelda."
Zelda took off with the box in her hands and left her room. Makato stripped out of her clothes and into her pink, polka dotted nightgown. Laying down on the bed, she was reminded before of sending a letter to her mother. "Maybe, it'll come tomorrow . ." Makato closed her eyes, but a loud knock interrupted her silence. She slowly got up from her bed and approached her door. Turning the knob, she opened the door.
". . .Ike, hello. . ."
Ike stood in front of her doorway, wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants. He entered her room and sat on her bed. "Where have you been? I was worried sick."
Makato stood quiet, trying to think of an answer. "I can't say. . ." She softly said.
"Why not?" He raised his voice.
"I just can't. . ."
". . ." Ike didn't understand but just sighed. He walked up to Makato who was standing near the door. Ike placed his hands on Makato's face. "Just tell me next time."
Makato nodded and made an apologetic smile. "Right."
Ike released her and dug for something under his shirt. "I thought you might want this back. . ." Ike showed the same green headband that was a gift and a farewell present. Makato gasped from its sight and tears started to form from her eyes. Makato took the headband and pressed it against her cheek. "Yes. . . Thank you."
"No need to cry about it."
When he said that, Makato ended up bursting into tears. "But. . .! You gave me it and I returned it! It was the first gift from you as well! I felt so bad!"
Ike stopped her crying with a warm hug. "It's fine. . ."
". . ." Makato blushed, slightly embarrassed yet unbothered. Marth and Roy were outside of Makato's room using a glass cup for their ears to hear the conversation.
"Ike, should we tell the others. . .?"
"I'm sure they'll figure it out sooner or later."
"Would you like. . ."
"Sounds good."
Marth and Roy heard the noises of satisfaction inside of the room. Some moaning as well.
"What, what is going on in there?" Marth thought outloud.
"They're getting it on like Diddy Kong!" Roy blurted.
"Hehe, honestly." Marth shook his head. "Come on Roy, let's not disturb their 'business'."
"Aye, Captain Altea!" Roy snickered.
What they were doing in reality. . .
With lazy faces, Makato and Ike stuffed their faces with frosted cinnamon rolls that was planned to be eaten after her trip, but was too tired.
"Delicious." They both said.
