Me: Okay, I've had this idea for a while now, so why not? As warning, I haven't played many of the original games for the characters, knowing most of them through SSBB, so I'm sorry if they're OOC or I get some wrong information.
*SSBB*
"Ahahahahahahaha, I just shield-breaker'd you to death!" I taunt evilly to my T.V. as Zelda goes flying off screen, taking the short amount of time to make Marth taunt with the A button, smirking as Zelda came off the floating podium for more mis-treatment as I spam her with the Dancing Blades combo move I adored.
"Paige, are you talking to the video game again?" My brother Alex askes as he poked his head in the room, eyeing me like I'm crazy; which I can be at times.
"Of course, did you expect anything different?" I ask with a raised eyebrow and a smirk, not taking my eyes off the screen should Zelda get a hit on me.
"You're playing as the princess again?" He asks and I shake my head.
"No, I'm Marth, not Zelda," I said absent-mindedly, completely forgetting about his constant argument and groaning when I remember it.
"So you are playing as a princess!" He says happily, sitting on the couch next to the table I'm perched on.
"No you idiot, I have told you many times before. PRINCE! NOT PRINCESS!" I hiss through gritted teeth.
"Girls are princesses."
"PRINCCCCCE! *HE* IS A *GUY*!" I snarl, instantly slipping back into the stupid argument we have whenever someone's Marth. I know he just does it to piss me off, but alas, it works.
The argument continues until I finish with the battle, finally just taking my iPod out of my pocket and using it to block him out, whispering 'guy guy guy' as Alex left, now bored with nothing to do, Taylor Swift replacing him for my attention.
"If only this was all real… I wish they were…" I sighed to myself, looking over the characters longingly before turning on two CPU's and having a team battle with Ike against Kirby and Jigglypuff, laughing at how horribly I defeated them.
*SSBB*
Wish watches the scene happen happily, finally hearing me say it out loud and running off to cause some havoc with a fun idea in her mind.
*SSBB*
I grudgingly turn off the Wii, putting the remote back on the charger so I could resume my hours of gaming after I'm done with my homework.
I finish my homework at nine o'clock, getting forced to bed by my parents, who don't know the definition of "But it's Friday!", insisting I need my sleep. I shut the door and climb in bed, getting out my notebook and boredly continuing my sketch of a battle scene between Link and Marth, being the obsessive fangirl I am, yawning and going to sleep at around ten.
*SSBB*
I grumble to myself on the way to the park, wanting to go back and continue my ownage of Peach, my parents insisting I need fresh air. I sigh in defeat, putting my iPod in and continuing my obsessive listening to Taylor Swift, cracking a stupid grin as I sing along to Speak Now, giggling at random times.
I make my way to the park, instantly gravitating to the swings and singing loudly, after making sure no one's around of course.
"So don't say yes run away now, I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door, don't wait, or say a single vow, you need to hear me out and they said speak no-ow! And you say, let's run away now, I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor! Ba-bae, I didn't say my vows, so glad you were around when they said speak no-ow," I finish, laughing when I finish the last verse of the song, a small blush creeping up my face as I sang it.
I make an annoyed sound as the wind picks up, filling my mouth with my hair. If it wasn't for my iPod blaring Taylor Swift, I might have heard the three faint popping sounds that sounded in the used to be empty soccer fields behind to the side of me, blocked by the trees.
*SSBB*
The three boys land in a heap, making odd sounds of surprise as they find themselves in a field with no idea how they got there.
"Where the hell are we?" The one with a bandanna around his head asks, rising to his feet and helping the prince up, the one in green rising by himself.
"You think I know?" The prince replies dryly, the one in green speaking up.
"I say we ask someone," He suggests, the one with the bandanna rolling his eyes.
"No, really? I thought we were going to wander around in circles instead," He replies sarcastically, the prince quieting them.
"Ike, shut up, I think I hear something," he insists to the one with the bandanna, known as Ike.
"…But you are not the kind of boy, who should be marryin' the wrong girl."
"Sounds like a girl singing," Ike comments, the prince and one in green agreeing.
"Let's ask her help," the green one suggests, the prince quieting Ike before he could make a snappy retort with a glare as they start to the park.
*SSBB*
I finish the song again, giggling as it continues again, I having put it on repeat. I sigh, opening my eyes after the last verse, head snapping around when I see something out of the corner of my eye, first thought being 'Someone heard me singing!'.
Of course that thought vanishes when I see the three supposedly fictional boys walking towards me, all looking confused.
I think my mouth may have opened a bit comically, seeing as Ike snickers and prince Marth looks confused, Link eyeing me oddly.
I quickly pull my earbuds from my ears, fumbling with my iPod and locking it, pausing my song and slowly coming to a stop.
"Hello," Link greets, they stopping a couple feet to my right as I hesitantly stumble off my swing.
"H-Hi," I stammer, cursing myself as I do.
"I'm Link, and this is Marth and Ike…" He says, pointing to the prince first, then the one in the bandanna. He continues, though I don't hear, doing the thing that anyone else would should fictional characters come to life and greet them.
I faint.
*SSBB*
Ike and Link blink in confusion, watching as I fall, Marth being the only one smart enough to think about helping me, catching me and sitting me on a bench.
"Well, that went well," Link says, sounding completely serious and blinking in confusion.
"Uh-huh, what do we do now?" Ike asks as he looks me over, unsure exactly why I fainted.
"We wait for her to wake up; we can't exactly leave her here," Marth says with a shrug, the other two shrugging and consenting, having nothing better to do and standing behind the bench, all watching as I fell onto my side.
"Am I the only one thinking we may have killed her?" Link asks, looking down. Ike and Marth both look at him like he's an idiot, saying yes simultaneously.
*SSBB*
I groggily open my eyes, very confused as to why I'm laying on the park bench. I roll my head and look up at the three guys standing over me, looking down at me as I wake up.
"'Bout time." Ike says with a grin. "Link thought you died."
I stammer, looking up at them, eyes wide with shock and wonderment.
"You alright there?" Marth asks with a raised eyebrow as I repeatedly blink, slowly propping myself up on my elbows.
"I have no clue," I say quite honestly. "I think I may be delusional."
"And why is that?" Link asks, seemingly for everyone as confusion registers on all of their faces. I hesitantly start sitting up, then decide to find out with out looking like a freak, asking for help. Marth offers a hand up, and I pull myself up using him, hallucination now not an option.
"Uhhhh, never mind, are you honestly *the* Ike, Link, and Marth?" I ask, all of them nodding slowly. "And you're not LARPing?" I ask, all of them confused again.
"LARPing? Is that some kind of disease or something?" Link asks, and I giggle slightly at that.
"Okay, never mind then," I say, getting to my feet and starting towards the picnic table in the middle of the park, motioning them to follow.
"Now, what were you saying before I, uh," I start, blushing. "Uh, passed out?" I ask, sheepishly at the 'passed out' part.
"We wanted to know where we were, and we would ask 'how we got here,' but we're assuming you don't know, seeing as you, you know, passed out," Ike says pointedly, and I hang my head.
"Shut up. Anyways, you're in America, Iowa to be exact," I tell them, already expecting the blank looks on their faces.
"Okay, that helped about as much as you passing out," Link says, again, making me blush in embarrassment.
"Shut up!" I whine, Ike and Link snickering, Marth seemingly the only sensible one enough to ask the next question.
"So why did you pass out when you saw us?" He asks, quieting Link and Ike with a glare.
"Well, if you really want to know, you're all supposed to be fictional," I say, snickering myself at Ike and Link when they all get stunned into silence.
"Fictional? As in, made up?" Ike finally asks, and I nod.
"Yeah, you're all from video games."
"What games?" Link asks in confusion. I blink, then get that, yeah, they probably don't know anything about electricity or technology. Great...
"Video games," I repeat, then explain, generally, what a video game is.
"So… You mean to tell me… We're really made up characters who just randomly materialized into this world?" Link asks with narrowed eyes, I nodding.
"Kinda, yeah. Don't know how, don't know why, and a bit to shocked to care to think about it," I say, all of the blinking, then nodding.
"So what now?" Marth asks, skipping the next storm of questions for planning.
I shrug, unsure. "We find you some place to stay?" I suggest, then blink in confusion, hearing giggling.
"Do you hear that?" I ask them, all of them slowly shaking their heads.
"Hear what?" Ike asks. I shush him, hearing it again.
"I bet you're really confused!" A creepy, child-like voice says. It sounds... Familiar...
"Uhm, kind of, yeah," I say aloud, all of them eyeing me as I talk to apparently no one.
"Good, you should be!" The voice I identify as female chimes again, making me frown.
"Uh-huh… And…"
"I'm Wish, and I've been watching you."
"That doesn't sound vaguely creepy…"
The boys just stare at me as I have a conversation with this 'Wish', she only talking to me apparently.
"Hehehe, you're funny!"
"And you're creepy, may we move on now?"
"But of course! I bet you're wondering how these three got here, aren't you?"
"Yes, as anyone else would."
"I did it! I made them appear!"
"Why…?"
"Because you wished it of course."
"I wish a lot of things, why grant this one?"
"Because it would cause a lot of havoc."
"Uh-huh…"
"Now I bet you're wondering who I am!"
"Yeah, just a little bit."
"Well I can't tell you that!"
"Then why bring it up?"
"'Cause it annoyed you! Ehehehe!"
"You're really weird."
"As are you. Now, your parents are out, so you may want to sneak them into your house now."
"What? You want me to bring them home?" Marth, Ike, and Link exchange glances, signaling they know I'm talking about them, looking uncomfortable at the prospect of going home with me.
"Of course! Don't worry, they won't do anything to you, they're nice enough."
"But… It's… That's… Awkward…."
"But it's the only place they have to go to, unless you want them in foster care or a homeless shelter or something."
"I hate you for being right."
"And I enjoy every second of it! Now bring them home, bye!"
"Wait, no, don't go!" I say as she says her good-bye. There's no response.
"… Are you possibly schizophrenic?" Link asks, all of them thinking it as he asks it.
"I don't know by now. Either way, you're coming home with me apparently," I say in defeat, all of them looking uncomfortable, but, seeing as they have no other choice, consenting to go with me.
"Do we even want to know what just happened back there?" Ike asks as we leave the park, walking to my house.
"I would tell you, but I don't know either. I think I just had a conversation with a magical being named Wish," I say, noticing I sound crazier than usual.
"… And you are *positive* you don't have a mental illness?" Link asks again, Marth smacking him upside the head. I stick my tongue out at him, thanking Marth for hitting him.
"You're very rude. She's offering us a place to stay. Beggars can't be choosers," Marth scolds, and I roll my eyes.
"You basically just agreed that it was a terrible offer that you only accepted because you had no other choice," I inform him, Ike and Link laughing as he tries to stammer an apology.
"Whatever, I was kidding," I say, again, rolling my eyes as we continue on our way, thinking about the day so far.
Seems like my life just got a bit more interesting.
*SSBB*
Me: Well, I hope you liked it! I had fun writing it… Sorry if the tenses waver between past and present, I started writing this when I was RPing in present tense, but I may accidentally slip into past tense every now and then. Anyways, it turned out better than I thought it would. Oh, I forgot to mention in the beginning, I don't own SSBB or Taylor Swift's Speak Now (which, by the way, is an awesome song, I advise you to check it out). Either way, I'm probably going to continue now… Love it? Hate it? Wanna tell me?
