I'm startled awake by my phone buzzing on my night stand. I unlock my phone and before I can check who it's from, I check the time. 6:23 PM, not bad. I tap my messages and see that I have one from Dan. "Hey, I wanted to tell you that we'll be having our friend Mark over and I was wondering if you'd like to meet him tomorrow." I giggle and respond.
M: Sure! I'd love to make a new friend!
D: Ha ha! I'm sure he'd like that. Don't worry, he's a pretty friendly guy.
M: That's awesome! What time should I come tomorrow?
D: Whenever you want.
M: Aww. I don't want to intrude. Come on, you may decide my fate.
D: Alright alright. How's 3 sound? Mark'll be here, and we won't be recording.
M: That's cool. I'll see ya then!
D: See ya!
I lock my phone and walk out into the living room where (F/N) is getting ready for work. I thought she had the day off... "Hey! You're up! Sorry, I got called in for the night shift since the one who usually takes care of it is out sick." "Nah. It's fine. I'm a big girl, I can make my own meals. Go and entertain kids." I waved her off. Yeah, (F/N) had a job working at a Chuck E. Cheese type place. They had horrible pizza, animatronics that sang, and a bunch of kids running around screaming. But the only reason I tagged along sometimes was the arcade. I would bring some quarters with me and play games like Xevious and Pac-Man, but my favorite was Galaga.
She waved to me goodbye and head off to her job while I sat myself on the couch and animated. Yes, I do that. I've even made a couple Game Grumps animated, but I don't think they're that good. I don't have an actual animation program so I use Windows Movie Maker to the best of my abilities. I'm currently working on my own anime, actually. It's called Respawn. All my friends are featured in it! I won't spoil the story, but I've been working on it for months.
~*Hurray! Time skip!*~
I yawn as I shut down my laptop, and tiredly headed off to my room. I climbed into my cozy bed and checked the time on my phone. 5:52 AM?! (F/N) is gonna be home any minute so I'm glad I left the lights on for her. I turned off my light, and closed my eyes as I slowly drifted off to Dream Land.
The next morning I woke up excitedly. I couldn't wait to meet Mark! But as I thought about it while making my breakfast waffles, I realized something. He's a friend of the Game Grumps, he's a friendly guy, and his name is Mark. Oh my glob, I'm gonna meet Markiplier. I jumped for joy as I thought of what he would be like in real life. Would he be the same silly guy I watched, or would he be different? I guess I'll find out then. I checked the stove clock and it said that it was 2:25. So I quickly ate my breakfast, got changed, and walked out the door to begin the long-ish walk to the Grump office.
I stepped up the steps as I hummed Step-By-Step by New Kids on the Block. I knocked on the door and was instantly greeted by Arin in his usual t-shirt and pajama pants. He smiled as he led me inside and down to the basement where the majority of the grumps were on their computers doing something. I looked over and saw the back of Dan's poofy hair and a guy next to him also looking at the screen. He wasn't Kevin, his hair was too floofy, he could only be... "Mark, this is the girl I was talking about." Arin broke the silence of my thoughts as he introduced me to Mark. He walked over with a smile as he shook my hand. "Hi (Y/N)! It's nice to finally meet you! I'm Mark." I always thought his voice was soothing. I smiled like a dork, "Hi Mark! It's nice to meet you too!" Out of the corner of my eye, I see Dan get up from his chair and face us, grinning ear to ear, "Do either of you guys wanna play Smash Bros?" "I do!" I raise my hand. "Fuck yeah!" "Why not!" We all run to the game room, Dan picks out the game and puts it in. It's Brawl. Yay!
When the game starts, we all choose our fighters. Arin chooses Kirby, Dan chooses Yoshi, Mark chooses Link, and I choose Marth. "Really? To be honsest, I'd expect you to pick Pikachu or something." Arin states. "Nah, man. Marth's mah boy." We all laugh as the Starbomb Smash song comes into my head. I start singing it while, as I sing, everyone starts to slowly join in.
Me: It was a beautiful day and everyone was excited. There was a picnic and the whole Nintendo crew was invited! Luigi stood up and said:
Dan: Listen everyone, I love you guys. You are my best friends in the world! You make me glad to be alive!
Mark: Excuse me, hi there. I'm the announcer for a fun new family game! It's called Super Smash Brothers!
Dan: That sounds nice. How do we play?
Mark: Well first I'm gonna warp into a world of hate and war where you'll assault everyone you have ever known and loved before!
Dan: I don't think I wanna do that.
Mark: Oh come on, it'll be a bash. Now grab all your little friends cause it is time for us...
Everyone: TO MOTHERFUCKING SMASH!!
We all sang the song as we played and kicked the shit out of eachother. Even though we were angry with eachother, we kept singing Starbomb songs happily. After Smash it was Glass Joe's Title Fight, then Regretroid, Minecraft is for Everyone, Inky's Lament, and then finally finishing it off with Ryu VS. Ken where Arin and I had a rap battle with each other. "Okay, now a lot of fans have tried to rap this against me and have failed. So this is a test to see how much of a fan you are." "Bring it, Ryu." He smiled. "Round 1, RAP!" Mark announced. I smirked as I began to rap Ken's part. Then we went on as the song goes. I never missed a single word as I saw Dan and Mark's jaws widden as I rapped on. After we ended Arin smiled at me and shook my hand. "Congrations, man, you truely are the best who ever douken'd a giant hole in my chest." I giggle as we all continue playing Smash and having fun.
I look at the clock to see that it was time for me to go home. So I said my goodbyes to Mark, Dan, Arin, and everyone else then I headed out the door. I walked back to my building, headed up the stairs to the second floor, then I unlocked the door and headed inside. I sighed in accomplishment at the thought of how fun today was. But my happy thoughts were interrupted by a loud banging on the door. Confused, I slowly opened the door to see who was there. I froze. It can't be him. How did he even find me here? "You fucking bitch!" He punches me so hard I'm knocked to the floor. I feel him violently grab me and carry me out of my apartment. I try to yell for help, but he punched me in the throat. My vision fades to black as tears roll down my cheeks at the thought of what he's gonna do to me now that he found me.
