"Ding dong!" The doorbell ran.

"I'll go get it!" I said, rushing to the door.

"Okie dokie!" Said my new husband, Mario

When I opened the door, I saw a guy with angel wings stood in front of the door. He had brown hair with golden leaves surrounded his head in a Greek style. His clothes was also some sort of Greek styled like. I stood there for a second, wondering what this handsome stranger want from us.

"Is Mario here?" He said, out of breath.

"Yes, he is." I said. "Do you need him?"

"I need him, yes! Very much! Now!" The stranger nagged.

"Mario!" I yelled. "Someone wanted to see you!"

"Who is it?"

"I don't know, someone you might know." I yelled, rolling my eyes. The stranger giggled and said,

"Sounds like the Mario I know."

"Huh." I looked at him. Who is this? He seem to know Mario very well.

Mario soon came to the door and then stopped. He gasped and smiled. He then shared a warm embrace with the stranger and exclaimed.

"Pit! So nice to see you! What brought you here?"

Pit? Pit! How could I forget? Even though I don't play Smash Bros, but I recognized his name the minute Mario said it.

"I am here to bring you an invitation from Master Hand." Pit explained. "We are having another Smash this year, and it's going to have some new character joining us. So you are invited as one of the Fighters again." He continued. "You're lucky that you're the key role in Smash. Some wanted to be in and never got the chance."

I knew who he was talking about. Waluigi always wanted to joining the Smashers but he never got to. So yes, unfortunate things do happen in the Smash Bros universe.

"So another champion is coming up huh? Sounds interesting. I'm in." Mario took the envelope from Pit's hand that was addressed to Mario in a golden cursive handwriting.

"Alright, I knew you would say yes! You never said no to a Smash invitation as far as I known of." Pit said to Mario before taking off.

"Mario," I said after Pit left. "Somehow inside of me said you shouldn't attend this year. Not because I am afraid that you would get hurt, but rather I have an uneasy feeling about this......" I trailed off, feeling a bit tense. But Mario just shrugged and assured me that he will be alright. I nodded, but I knew something is bothering me so I decided to relax and get on with life. But little did I know how this would affect the Smash universe.

We had to travel to the Nintendo in Japan. It was a long trip, I had a very bad jet lag. Mario, in the other hand, was rather energetic. Maybe he was used to it, but I wasn't.

We got out of the air port after lunch time, and someone was already there to take us to Nintendo. I grumbled, I needed my sleep. Mario pointed out that we will be driving for a while before the meeting. So I slept as much as I can in the car, leaning against Mario's shoulder as my pillow.

When we got there, I was refreshed and ready. So we went to the meeting together. We were guided into a very private room, and the security seem very tight. I couldn't even get through if Mario didn't come to my rescue. They almost didn't let me in until Mario told them my relationship with him, then they let me in.

When we entered the room, we were immediately greeted by a glove who seems to be in charge.

"Good afternoon, Master Mario."

"Good afternoon to you too, Master Hand." Mario returned.

"And this lovely lady next to you is?" Master Hand inquired.

"I am Leah, Mario's new wife." I explained. "We got married this summer, so it's very natural that you did not know that yet."

"Congratulations to you newly weds. I am sorry to interrupt your honeymoon." Master Hand said apologetically. "Nintendo is making a new Smash Bro, and they have very little time to make the game happen. So we need everyone to be here if they can so we can discuss the matter of who should be in the game. Master Mario here is a very important part of our Smash Bros community, thus he needed to be here. But I am very sorry to interrupt your honeymoon, please understand."

I nodded. Master Hand seems like a very polite person. But little did I know how much we were in for a disaster.

Soon, one by one, every Smash Fighters showed up. Luigi came in with a thud after we arrived. Followed by Peach gracefully walked in the room. Link came in with Zelda by his side. Pikachu, sitting on the Pokemon Trainer's shoulder, waved at us. Then everyone arrived. I was amazed to see the total of 76 Fighter present in the room, including Mario. I've never seen so many people before, so all of a sudden I have to get to know so many people seemed overwhelming. Fortunately, they were all nice people so it wasn't hard to get to know them. Everyone, that is, except one.

"Congratulations to your 'marriage' to Mario." Peach approached me, sour attitude filled her word.

"Thank you, your highness." I replied with sarcasm. Her and I had an incident that made us enemies for a while, but soon things would change.

"Peach, leave Leah alone." Mario stepped in between. He was also disgusted with Peach for the incident between us the summer before Mario and I were married.

"Humph!" Peach turned around, nose high up in the air.

Mario shook his head, then took a seat. I did the same. Then the meeting began.

"Thank you for your time, for those of you who are here. I want to bring all of you here to discuss the old topic we discuss during every meeting." Master Hand began.

Someone in the room raised her hand. It was Zero Suit Samus. Master Hand nodded his approval, and she spoke in a very clear voice.

"Will we have new characters fighting along side of us?"

"Yes, we will. As always. In fact, it is time to welcome the new comers. Please give them a warm welcome as I announce the following Fighters." Master Hand said.

As Master Hand announced the names, someone else's name caught my attention. She wore an orange dress similar to Peach's. Her auburn hair was in a short style to keep out of her way. She wore a crown that indicated her position as a princess. I gasped when she turned around. She was also my best friend and bridesmaid. If you guessed Daisy, then you're correct. She was very excited when she found me in the room. We shared a quick embrace and went back to the meeting.

"Those are the ones who will be joining us as new Fighters in the field. Please help them improve as they're still new." Master Hand instructed.

I fought hard to stay away during the meeting. The jet lag was catching up to me again. It was a good thing Mario was able to keep me awake when I was close to falling asleep. At last the meeting ended. Mario and I came out of the room, feeling physically exhausted. Mario looked ahead and booked a room for us to sleep in before we arrive at Japan. So as soon as we get checked in with the hotel, we both collapsed onto the soft beds and dozed off.
