Sora looked to the billboard. A notification showed itself, revealing that Master Hand had found three more fighters to fill extra slots. Sora was a bit confused. After all, Master Hand's slogan was now "Everyone is Here!" Obviously, he still had a few things to do.

Sora walked into Master Hand's office. The over sized glove was typing away at a computer. Crazy Hand was closely watching over his...shoulder? If that is what you would call it?

Sora: "Um, hello. I noticed the roster update? I thought you said I and Piranha Plant were the last fighters?"

Master Hand looked from his computer.

Master Hand: "Oh, that! Yeah, I got a request from Mario that I should let a few people join the fight. And who am I to say no? I get paid watching you guys fight each other! One of them is going to be roommates with you and Link! I'm just finalizing the paper work..."

He typed a few more things, and printed out a paper.

Master Hand: "Here. This is your roommate. Meet him at the front gates, will you? Don't keep anyone waiting!"

Sora accepted the paper from him.

Sora: "Thanks?"

Sora walked to the front gate, keeping a close eye for anyone who matched the picture on the file Master Hand gave him. He waited for ten minutes before he saw his new roommate.

Sora: "HEY! You!"

Sora hurried over to him, waving. He didn't seem too interested in Sora.

Sora: "I'm one of your roommates. My name's Sora! You were...Dimentio, right? Did I say that right? Dih-men-tee-oh? Or is it Dih-men-see-oh?"

Dimentio bowed.

Dimentio: "The first was correct. I am absolutely charmed to meet you! But...hm..."

He examined Sora with a judging eye.

Sora: "What's wrong?"

Dimentio: "Well, I expected you to be taller? And...older."

He tapped a hand to his chest.

Dimentio: "But who am I to judge another?"

He looked around.

Dimentio: "...Hm."

Sora: "It looks like a lot but it's-Who's that?"

Sora pointed to a small, origami-like person, who wore a golden crown. Despite already floating, he had a pair of folded, featherless wings. He noticed Sora and came over, his bangs staying surprisingly still despite his movement.

Dimentio: "This is King Olly. My royal...leader, and the Origami King himself! He was also invited to this bland place by Mario."

Olly bowed.

Olly: "A pleasure to meet you. Do you know where I can find this...Pac? And the letter also mentioned a 'mega' man. But anyway, it seems you've already met Dimentio. That means she's late."

Sora: "...She? Another girl fighter, huh? I can never beat those guys. Somehow, I think they're more skilled than the boys."

Dimentio: "Oh well. She can struggle her way here just as per what happens when you arrive late! Her gang calls her the Mad Hatter, but they should really call her the White Rabbit. She's always been late!"

Olly fixed his bangs.

Olly: "Dimentio, she has a job to do. I would be late as well, if my kingdom wasn't still under development. She's their leader and, by Grambi's beard, she's acting like it! You need to have a bit more patience with her, Dimentio. She's your sister, after all."

Dimentio: "If she were my sister, she would be on time."

Olly muttered something under his breath and faced Sora again.

Olly: "Apologies. We've just finished something in our world, so we're a bit shaken and upset. And I apologize a thousand fold about Dimentio's behavior. He's the most powerful magician alive, so he acts a bit egocentric."

Sora: "Oh, it's fine! I have a friend who's pretty rude, so I'm used to it."

Dimentio huffed.

Olly: "Well, that's good...I suppose. But anyway, I think I should wait here for her or my roommates to arrive. I've...never actually shared a room with anyone before. How is it like?"

Sora: "Eh. A bit loud and rowdy sometimes, especially on Game Night. But besides that, things are normal."

Olly: "I'm going to wait here for-"

Sora: "Actually, Pac is in his world right now, and Mega Man is in the middle of a tournament. So I think it'd be best if you just followed me and Dimentio."

Olly: "Oh? Alright then. You lead the way, then."

Sora gave them a small tour of the main area, explaining where to find the cafeteria, sleeping quarters, and the lobby. He showed them Billboard Street, for updates on battles and information from their home worlds. He then took them to their respective rooms, to show them the door numbers and to allow them some time to settle in before lunch. Olly was very grateful for the tour, but Dimentio was completely unresponsive until the very end.

Sora: "And this is our room, which we share with Link. But he's off in Hyrule right now fixing a dark magic issue."

Dimentio: "...I see. If you want to be my 'roommate,' we need to put down a few ground rules first. Rule one, never EVER tell me to take off my mask. From anything from my face, to this desk, my mask stays right where it is. Everything else of mine you can touch, but if I see a single fingerprint from you, Link, or anyone else in this accursed place, you can expect that things will get a bit 'messy.' You understand?"

Sora's thoughts: "Oh gosh, I got a psycho."

Sora: "Uh...sure!"

Sora's thoughts: "I'm going to die...!"

Link returned sometime before dinner, and disliked Dimentio as well. However, he liked Olly, and Olly seemed to be very friendly. Sora never saw the final fighter, but heard news she showed up pretty late after dinner. Thankfully, Master Hand gave her a simple warning since it was only her first day, and let her go off to bed without punishment.

It was an exciting day, and Sora knew he would pass out as soon as he hit his pillow. When he entered the room, Dimentio was already inside. The lights were off, and Dimentio's silhouette was fiddling with something. He moved his hands from his face, revealing he had been removing his mask. He placed in on the desk and flopped into bed.

Sora looked to the mask. The eyes and mouth glew dimly in the dark, and the smiling eyes seemed to watch him as he went into bed. He covered his head with the blankets to rid the feeling of being watched. Link entered shortly after. Dimentio hadn't warned him about touching his mask, and Sora didn't want to wake Dimentio by yelling, so he watched as Link turned it so it no longer faced his bed. He got into his own bed, grunted "good night" to Sora, and fell asleep instantly. Sora, however, couldn't fall asleep because the lingering feeling of the mask watching him. No matter how hard he tried, he would not drift into sleep.

It was going to be a long night.


Author note: Who even pronounces it Dih-men-see-oh anyways lol? (Rhetorical question, my sister does.)

Anyway, I finally got on to fixing the first chapter of Smash Hit!, so enjoy! Like I said before, this is only a series of short stories (I don't actually know what this thing is but it has no real plot? Idk, I'll let you be the judge of that.) so expect a lot of...random.

Also, there are ships! Lots of them! BoooOOooo! So I'll put a list of them here. If you don't agree with any of these ships, just stop reading, please. It'll save both of our sanity.

TragedyDemon: Grape and Kazuya

BeanShroom: Fawful and Princess Shroob

ElectroBlade: Zokket and Pyra/Mythra (this one was suggested by draco70!)

Sora and Kairi

ZeLink: Zelda and Link

Ollsanne: Olly and Rosanne (she's an OC, btw)

CandyFlowers: Reclusa/Reclusa PRIME and Candy (she's a Miitopia/SSBU OC, and my first Mii OC to make it to my AU!)

DiMimi: Dimentio and Mimi (they hit a few rough patches, but they start to develop eventually, trust me)

APearlcalpse: Apocalypse and Pearl (Apocalypse is a Splatoon OC and he does show up btw)

Tarina: Tartar and Marina

MariPeach: Mario and Peach

Luaisy: Luigi and Daisy (After all that BowserXLuigi discourse after the movie, I find it sad I have to put a ship trigger for this one)

I'll add more as I remember them, but that's all I can think of right now. If you're fine with reading through romances like these, then please continue!

Anyway, Stay Fresh, and happy spring!
