Estimated Reading Time: 20 Minutes

Ice Queen

After Mario left, Ness started to panic. Oh god what if during their hang out he accidentally slips up and says something that'll spark the plumber's memories?

Wait a minute, what if Mario already knows? He's playing games. He has to be. The plumber wants to gather information about Ness. Ha! Too bad this guy seen right through him. He's not going. Ness knows too well that Mario has a fucking Bellosum ready for him. Nope, not again. He's not getting Bellosumed and getting thrown in a cave for eight months. Been there done that.

A part of him did want to hang out and see if he could gather intel on Mario, but why take that chance?

He got up from his table and decided to ignore it. He decided to go visit the library. Wow, he hasn't been here in forever! It hasn't changed one bit.

He looked around for a good book. What's he in the mood for? Fiction? Non-fiction? Something about science? Hmm, maybe he can learn more about the smashers. Oh what about stage lore!

He finally finished one of his mental awareness books, so maybe reading something fun would be a nice change. He grabbed the book about stages and checked it out. He also didn't forget to return the book he finished.

He left the library. As he was walking, he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Nana. He looked at her with a disgusted face.

Nana: "Hiii, Nessypoo."

Ness: "Don't call me that."

Nana: "What, just giving my friend a nickname."

Ness: "We're not friends."

Nana: "Come on, don't be like that. The world is saved. Everything is cool now."

Ness: "I didn't forget about what you did."

Nana: "I didn't do anything."

Ness: "Are you serious?"

Nana: "Are you referring to the clone thing?"

Ness: "Yes!"

Nana: "He's the one that took advantage of me."

Ness: "He didn't want you."

Nana: "Yes he did. You weren't there. Stop acting like you know everything. I hate it when you do this shit."

Ness: *Scoffs* "I know he didn't want you. He made that pretty clear."

Nana: "Yes he did. Men always want it."

Ness: "That type of thinking makes me not want to be around you."

Nana: "Because you're too sensitive?"

Ness: "Because that's sexist."

Nana: "You don't understand what it's like to be a woman. We live a tougher life."

Ness: "I get that but-

Nana: "Do you?"

Ness: "Yes! Everyone has their struggles, but saying that men always want it is psychotic."

Nana: "You're not understanding my point."

Ness: *Sighs* "We're getting nowhere. Just leave me alone."

Nana: "I'm trying to mend our relationship."

Ness: "Don't say it like we were together please."

Nana: "Sorry, I meant to say friendship."

Ness: "Thanks for correcting that because I would never date you."

Nana: *Scoffs* "That was rude."

Ness: "Yeah, well, blackmailing who you thought was me into sleeping with you is also rude."

Nana: "I'm the victim here!"

Ness: "No, you're not."

Nana: "Nate, is that his name?"

Ness: "Yeah."

Nana: "Nate is the one that said he was you. He tricked us all. How are you not attacking him for that? Yet I'm the one getting attacked."

Ness: "Because you raped him thinking it was me, which means you would've done that to ME!"

Nana: "Men aren't picky. You would've liked it."

Ness: "Wow."

Nana: "I know how you men think. Also, I'm hot, so I'm sure your dick wouldn't mind."

She looked at his crotch and bit her lip. He snapped his finger at her.

Ness: "Um, hello? My eyes are up here."

Nana: "You know, if you're anything like your clone, I know what it looks and feels like."

Ness's jaw dropped. He was shocked. Did she actually say that to him? She's fucking crazy. Absolutely unhinged bat!

Ness: "N-Nana?!" *Blushes*

Nana: "Oooh, someone's blushing~"

Ness: "I-I… You… You can't just say that to me!"

Nana: "You got a pretty big dick. I didn't expect that."

Ness: "I-I… I… That's it, I'm leaving."

Nana: "Wait! Hold on!"

Ness was fast walking away. She quickly caught up and ran in front.

Nana: "What, c'mon it was a joke."

Ness: "Leave me alone."

Nana: "Look, I want us to start over."

Ness: "After what you said to me, not going to happen."

Nana: "Oh my god. It was a fucking joke."

Ness: "Yeah, well, I didn't like it."

Nana: "I'm sorry, Ness."

Ness: "You can't come back from that."

Nana: "Why do you have to take everything seriously?"

He continued to walk away, but she followed behind.

Ness: "Stop following me."

Nana: "Ness, please. I know I can't be friends with the others, but I at least want to get along with you."

Ness: "Why me in particular?"

Nana: "Because I know you. You're a sweet forgiving guy."

Ness: "Tch! You don't know me."

Nana: "Stop being like this!"

Ness: "No."

Nana: "Let me explain. Your clone is the one that tricked everyone. He's a bad guy too, yet you let him get away with what he did to your friends? It doesn't make sense."

Ness: "Nate's situation is complicated. Yours isn't."

Nana: "What're you talking about?"

Ness: "First of all, he was under a lot of pressure from Mario. Second, he was six months old, so I don't think he knew better. Third, I beat him up and he's making an effort to change. You on the other hand knew full well what you were doing."

Nana: "Ness, please, I've… I've been lonely without you guys."

Ness: "And I care because?"

Nana: "Think about back then when we used to hang out."

Ness finally approached his door. He heard her crying. He didn't want to look at her. He hates seeing people cry, but she has to learn that what she did was unforgivable.

He unlocked his door and slammed it on her face. He heard her sob uncontrollably. He put on headphones and played a podcast so he wouldn't have to hear her. If he did, he would've caved and let her in to cheer her up.

He watched an hour long podcast on his laptop. He took off his headphones and got up from his desk. He opened his door and saw that she was gone. Thank god. Dealing with her is a nightmare.

He went back to his desk and started playing League Of Legends. He picked his favorite champion Lee Sin. The game was going well, until one of his teammates got ganked in lane and started blaming him.

[- Chatbox

Ashe: are you fcking serious I got ganked again

Lulu: its bc our trash jgler isnt doing his job

Lee Sin: You two need to play safer.

Ashe: we were but were behind becaus your never here

Lee Sin: I was getting Rift Herald. I pinged it.

Lulu: u should be trying to get drake instead its more useful

Ashe: this is fcking iron jgler

Lee Sin: Just so you know, I got an objective so clearly I'm not useless like you two. Top and I just got the first tower.

Ashe: dont you know that top is less important than bot

Aatrox: I beg your finest pardon

Lulu: top inst even a true tank wats he gon do? peel? I dont think so

Aatrox: wow you two are bitches

Lee Sin: Guys, stop. Let's just play the game.

…

Announcer: "An ally has been slain."

[- Chatbox

Lulu: thank you lee sin for being the most useless jgler i've ever teamed with

Lee Sin: Right, because it's always the jungler's fault, huh?

Ashe: the jungler is supposed to win our lane for us

Lee Sin: Yeah, well, I'm not going to gank for a losing lane. That's suicide.

Lulu: we wouldnt be losing if we had a junger that knew how to gank

Lee Sin: I did gank for you guys.

Ashe: once

Lee Sin: Sorry? I also have mid lane and top lane to help too. Plus I can't ignore my camps constantly to help you guys.

Lulu: mid lane is losing to

Akali: no i'm not tf

…

Announcer: "An ally has been slain."

[- Chatbox

Ashe: [all] jungle diff

Lee Sin: Can you for once stop being toxic maybe? You might be able to do better if you would just focus.

Zeri: [all] loooool dis ashe trash

Ashe: [all] only becaus your jungler ganked for you mine didnt so of course I would lose my lane against you

Zeri: [all] nope! ur just bad lmao

Lee Sin: Calm down, Ashe, just play safe for now. Top is really ahead. He'll be able to carry in the mid game.

Ashe: can you stfu?

Lee Sin: You're the one that started typing.

Ashe: becaus ur bad

Lee Sin: Saying I'm bad isn't going to make you a better player.

Ashe: just statin facts

Lee Sin: Your attitude is why you're losing, you know that, right?

Lulu: no its bc u didnt help us

Lee Sin: Clearly you two don't know how jungle works. I have camps to take and I can't keep babysitting lanes. I have another jungler to fight.

Lulu: womp womp

Lee Sin: Yeah womp womp for you because you guys are the one that fed bot lane. Everyone else is doing fine.

Ashe: how about you stfu and actually help us now

…

He started typing, but as he was doing that, the enemy mid laner Talon came up and killed his champion. He sighed in frustration.

[- Chatbox

Ashe: [all] loooooool

Lulu: [all] talk about a troll

Lee Sin: If I wasn't busy trying to explain to you guys how this game works, I wouldn't have died.

Ashe: explain what bitch

Lee Sin: The errors you guys are making which a big one is blaming me for losing your lane.

Ashe: nah it's becaus you keep talking

Lulu: yeah u could just ignore us

Lee Sin: I can't ignore you guys. Communication is important to the game.

Lulu: Awww i feel special

Lee Sin: You're a part of the team, of course you're special. Everyone has a role to play.

Ashe: I know your special for sure

Lee Sin: What's that supposed to mean?

Ashe: the fact that you didnt get it proves my point

Lee Sin: No, please explain.

Lulu: she sayin ur retarded

Lee Sin: Ok, see this is why you're losing, Ashe. You're not using chat effectively. Instead you're too busy insulting me because you got low self-esteem.

Akali: damn this jungler fiesty asf

Lee Sin: I'm not feisty, I'm just telling it how it is.

Akali: daaaaaaamn

Lulu: so ur a therapist now

Lee Sin: I thought about being one.

Ashe: its a good thing your not youd be terrible at it

Lee Sin: And why is that?

Ashe: look at the way your talking to me

Lee Sin: Aww, can someone not take criticism?

Ashe: your not criticising your just being a dick

Lee Sin: How am I being a dick? You're the one that came at me first.

Akali: yall are dicks

Lulu: stfu akali

Lee Sin: Ok, seriously guys, let's stop fighting. We're not making any progress.

Ashe: yeah becaus we have a dumbass jungler in our team

Lee Sin: You really don't know when to shut up, do you?

Ashe: neither do you it seems

Lee Sin: I'm trying to calm everyone down.

Lulu: no ur not ur just sayin we're terrible at the game

Lee Sin: It's not that you guys are terrible, it's just that I've noticed you guys don't understand the fundamentals of the game. Which is ok. That's what I'm here for. To teach you guys how the game works. For example, chat shouldn't be used to flame your teammates. We should be talking about our game plan.

Ashe: I know how this game works

Lee Sin: Really? I find that hard to believe. You built attack speed first instead of AD.

Ashe: yeah so what

Ashe: I wanted to hit them faster

Lee Sin: Ok, but that's supposed to come later. Look at the enemy adc's build. They went with AD first with decent speed.

Ashe: you dont know how ashe works she all about attac speed

Lee Sin: That's what your Q is for!

Ashe: well now I hit 100x faster with my q

Akali: ngl I agree with lee over here that was a dumb move to build attack speed first

Lee Sin: SEE! This is why you're losing. You don't know how this game works.

Ashe: can all if u fuck off

Akali: I will later that's for sure ;)

Lee Sin: Now that you're backed up in a corner, all you have to say is fuck off? Very mature of you.

Ashe: i'm leaving bye fuck all of u

…

Announcer: "A summoner has disconnected."

Ness: *Sighs* "This happens every time."

Somehow he won the game, but at what cost. He didn't have a fun time. Then again, playing League is not supposed to be fun. It's a job. It's like an abusive ex who keeps pulling him back. He knows it's bad, but he can't stop.

Because of his addiction, he played a few more games. He won some and lost some. Yup, he's over it. He should go have a social life and visit his friend.

He got up from his desk and went to knock on Lucas's door. The blonde answered.

Shy Blonde

Lucas: "Oh, hey."

Ness: "Want to go on a walk with Lucky and I before I go to work."

Lucas: "Sure!"

The two took Lucky out on a walk and started chatting.

Lucas: "It's weird that you go to work now."

Ness: "I know!"

Lucas: "Does it get worse everyday?"

Ness: "Yep."

Lucas: "Aww, I'm sorry."

Ness: "It's because of Leaf. If she wasn't there, the job would be better."

Lucas: "Yeah no kidding."

Ness: "It's my own fault. I should've known she would work there."

Lucas: "Yeah you're a little dumb for that."

Ness: "Gee, thanks."

Lucas: "You're welcome~"

Ness: "I can't complain though, I get to have free Pokemon healthcare."

Lucas: "Plus discounts at the PokeMart right?"

Ness: "Yeah! Also I got along with the buff Pokemon."

Lucas: "Buff Pokemon?"

Ness: "You know, like Machokes and Timburs."

Lucas: "What?"

Ness: "Never mind."

Lucas: "I'm not a nerd like you."

Ness scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously.

Ness: "Haha… Yeaaah, I'm a nerd."

Lucas: (So cute.)

Ness: "After my last encounter with Leaf, I'm not sure we're ever going to be on good terms."

Lucas: "Ness."

Ness: "Yeah?"

Lucas: "What's going to happen when she has the baby?"

Ness: "Uh…"

Lucas: "Because that's a recipe for disaster."

Ness: "I know…"

Lucas: "Are you going to help her?"

Ness: "Raise the kid? Hell no. It's not mine."

Lucas: "But technically-

Ness: "No! It's not my kid. It's her own fault. She's going to have to take care of it herself."

Lucas: "Won't you feel guilty?"

Ness: "Yes, but…"

Lucas: "I know how you are. You're going to help. You hate seeing people suffer."

He recalled the time when he could've let Mario die from Simon The Wendigo Belmont, but decided to save him instead. Lucas is right. He's going to feel too guilty and try to help her. He HAS to convince her to get the abortion.

Ness: *Sighs* "Any ideas on what I can do to get her to at least talk to me?"

Lucas: "At work, she can't really leave, right?"

Ness: "You're saying that I should talk to her about it at work?"

Lucas: "Well don't talk to her about the abortion thing yet. I think you should apologize first."

Ness: *Scoffs* "Apologize? She's the one that was in the wrong."

Lucas: "If you want things to change, then you have to be the bigger person."

Ness: *Sighs* "Fiiine. I'll apologize."

Lucas elbowed his friend.

Lucas: "Look at you and your character development~"

Ness: "Haha very funny."

Lucas: "At this rate, you're going to be the best main character."

Ness: "I already am~"

Lucas: "I'm pretty sure that's Sonic or some other character from a popular game."

Ness: "Pssh! Sonic wishes."

Lucas: "Is someone jealous?"

Ness: "Jealous of Sonic? Ha! The guy is jealous of me. I saved him from the purple apocalypse."

Lucas: "Uh huh."

Ness: "I did! That's why he's always fighting with me. He's clearly insecure."

Lucas: "I think you are too."

Ness: "Hey, who's side are you on?"

Lucas: *Chuckles* "Yours. That's why I'm telling you that you're insecure, but you're still going through character development."

Ness: "Stop with the character development."

Ness pretended to act annoyed. Lucas knew and started laughing. He was poking at him all in good fun. They chatted a bit more, but unfortunately Ness had to go to work, so they split ways.

Ness made his way to work and saw that Leaf was outside. He went up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

Leaf: "Ah!"

She turned around and saw him. He had a nervous smile on his face. She gave him an annoyed look and put her hand on her hip.

Leaf: "Don't scare me like that!"

Ness: "Sorry."

Leaf: *Sighs* "If you're wondering where you are today, check the paper next to the door. You don't always have to ask me."

Ness: "Oh, uh, no. I wanted to apologize."
