A/N: The Mario fandom is beginning to confuse me...of course, the source material rules! (And I know some people who don't act this way...) I'm doing Dimentio's story first since he seems to be the one most affected by this.

Disclaimer: While this story does say some negative things about the fandom, I respect our differences and your right to believe in what you want.

What They Did to Us

This was one of those times when Dimentio wasn't smiling.

Instead, his mouth was twisted into an infuriated sneer.

It had been another one of those days...or, to be precise, another one of those weeks.

He had been forced to date lots of people, which went entirely against his beliefs. To him, love was only something that could be toyed with to manipulate people. The idea of actually falling in love was enough to irk him.

But it wasn't being in love that made him furious.

It was who he had been forced to date.

One day, he had to date Count Bleck.

Dimentio always seemed to notice that whenever he was forced to date the count, he found himself acting like nothing more than fanservice.

The jester's hands balled into fists. If he had to wear that maid's outfit one more time...

The next day, he found himself dating O'Chunks.

Dimentio's eye twitched.

There was no way in Bonechill's prison he'd want to be with O'Chunks. For one thing, Dimentio didn't want to be with anyone, and O'Chunks was perfectly aware of that. Also, Dimentio knew that O'Chunks was already in love with Nastasia, and the warrior did not, in any way, shape or form, seem like the type of guy who'd cheat.

The next few days after that, Dimentio was forced to date Mimi.

Both of Dimentio's eyes twitched.

Mimi was only a little girl! Not only that, she was a little girl who didn't get along with him! Why did he have to do so many things with her?!

He remembered telling Nastasia about all of the stuff that he and Mimi had been forced into doing.

"What did you guys do?" Nastasia had asked.

Dimentio looked her straight in the eyes.

"Dear Nastasia, I think a better question would be, 'What didn't we do?'" he replied.

Dimentio would never forget what he and Mimi had done, no matter how hard he tried to erase it from his mind.

The last couple of days, Dimentio had to date a couple of people he had never even heard about, let alone met.

...

That did it.

Dimentio screamed, slamming his fists onto the floor.

Why did he always have to be paired up with someone? Couldn't some people just stay single? When did romance begin to rule the world? More importantly, when did it pass a law saying that everyone had to be with someone?

It was so stupid!

However, before Dimentio could plan retaliation, he lost control of both his body and mind.

It was time for the next story to begin.

A/N: I'm not trying to bash anyone. I'm just worried about what the Super Paper Mario fandom is starting to become.
