A/N: Here is the first chapter of the fanfiction I was talking about in the A/N in "All I Wanted to Do Was Read My Book!". Once again, I'm not sure how often I'll be updating this because I have a busy life outside of the internet... Fortunately, though, I pretty much have most of this one planned out, so you might not have to wait as long for the next chapters. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Super Smash Bros. or its characters.

*Edit*

If you don't like the shipping of Lucina x Dark Pit, I would not recommend you reading the rest of this fanfiction. Also, for those of you who have been saying you don't like the above pairing, just know that I'm not going to change it or cancel this fanfiction just because someone else doesn't like it. I respect your opinions, I really do, but I'm not going to let people's bashing on my ships bring me or this fanfiction down... Just thought I'd throw that one out there. ;]

On the third of October, the fourth Super Smash Bros. tournament would begin. Ever since June of the previous year, newcomers and veterans had been receiving their invitations from the director of the tournament, Master Hand. Heroes and villains from all over the multiverse hoped that the hand would send them a letter of invitation.

Lucina, princess of the kingdom of Ylisse, was indeed a brilliant fighter. She, like her father, Chrom, was an amazing swordsman...swordswoman, I should say. She wielded the Falchion, which had been given to her in the future by her father. She was an amazing fighter...but she never thought that she of all people would be invited. If anyone from her world would be attending the tournament, it would be Chrom...right? Wrong.

"Lucy! Lucy! I have something for you!" called her sister, Cynthia, excitedly. She began running over to Lucina.

"Calm down, Cynthia," Lucina said. "This is nothing to get over-excited about."

Cynthia took a moment to calm down and handed an envelope to her. "Trust me, Lucy; this is something to be happy about!"

I'm sure it's just a letter, Lucina thought. When she flipped the envelope over to open it, however, she saw a very...interesting seal on it. It looked like a circle with two perpendicular lines on it. The horizontal line was closer to the lower half of the circle, and the vertical line was closer to the left half. Something about this seal seemed oddly familiar to her, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. She peeled the seal off carefully so she wouldn't rip it or the envelope, then took the letter out and unfolded it.

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw what was written.

"Dear Lucina, you have been recognized as one of the greatest and most well-known fighters in the multiverse. Because of this, you have been selected to participate the fourth Super Smash Bros. tournament. While you are participating in the tournament, you will be staying at the Smash Mansion with the other Smashers. You will not need to bring anything but yourself and your weapon(s); clothes and anything else you may need will be provided for you. There is a train station by which you can travel to the mansion. All you have to do is trace the symbol at the bottom of the letter with your finger; it should look like the seal on the envelope. We look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Master Hand".

"I...I can't believe it," Lucina murmured.

"What did it say?" Cynthia asked.

Lucina slowly brought the letter away from her face. "I've...I've been invited to Super Smash Brothers."

"You've been invited to Super Smash Bros.?!" Cynthia exclaimed. "Oh my gosh, Lucy, you're so lucky! Only two other people from our world have ever been invited!"

"What happened, Cynthia?"

The girls turned around and looked up at the sound of Chrom's voice.

"Father!" Cynthia greeted happily.

Lucina's shocked expression slowly turned into a smile. "Father...Father!" She ran towards him and embraced him.

"Lucina...?" Chrom asked, puzzled.

"Oh, Father..." Lucina whispered. She broke away from him. "I've been invited to the fourth Super Smash Brothers tournament!" She showed him the letter.

Chrom carefully read over the letter, then looked at Lucina and smiled. "Congratulations, honey! I look forward to watching you win."

"...You're not coming, father?" Lucina questioned, her heart sinking a little.

He shook his head. "I'm sorry, Lucina." He put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry; Robin will be joining as well. Also..." He smiled, knowing that she would be happy to hear his next words. "...I heard that the Hero King, Marth, is there too."

Lucina's eyes sparkled with delight. "The Hero King, Marth? He's...there? I'll get to meet him?"

Chrom nodded.

A wide smile formed on her face, and her eyes sparkled even more. "I don't think I've ever been happier in my entire life!" She embraced her father once more. "I can't wait to meet him!"

The next morning, the sun shone brightly on Lucina's face. After opening her eyes and climbing out of bed, she took a long look around her room in Ylisse's castle. This would be the last she would see of it for a while.

I will miss this world, she thought, feeling a bit saddened that she wouldn't see anything familiar for a long time. After she imagined how much fun it was going to be to participate in the tournament, however, her spirits were raised greatly.

She quickly changed into her normal clothes and got ready for the day. After she was done with that, she grabbed her sword and walked downstairs.

Chrom, her mother, Sumia, and Cynthia were all waiting for her downstairs.

"Are you ready to leave, Lucina?" Sumia asked, smiling.

Lucina nodded. "Yes, mother. I'm ready." She hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you, too, dear," said her mother.

Cynthia walked over to her. "Write us sometime soon, Lucy! I want to hear about all your adventures at the tournament!"

Lucina let go of her mother. "I'll make sure that you hear about every one of them," she said as she hugged her sister.

"Every single one?" Cynthia asked.

"Every single one," answered Lucina before breaking away from the hug.

Finally, it was time for her to say goodbye to her father. This farewell was going to be particularly difficult for her. She looked at her father, teary-eyed. "Father..."

Before she could hug him first, Chrom warmly embraced her. "Don't cry, Lucina. It's all right to miss us, but you need to concentrate on the tournament. I want you to have a good time; if you worry over us the whole time, you can't do that." He pulled her in closer, almost tearing up himself. "...I love you, Lucina."

"I love you, too, father..." Lucina said. The hug lasted for a minute or two; after that time was up, she let go, wiped her tears away, and smiled. "I'll make you proud, father. I promise I will."

She took one last look at everything, then pulled the letter out and unfolded it. "I'll make sure to write to you as soon as possible." She found the circle with the lines at the bottom of the letter. After inhaling and exhaling one time, she traced the symbol with her finger.

Almost instantly after she traced the symbol, she was transported to a train station. The platform that lead to the train was made of gray stone; there were many cracks from being used over the course of many years. A large, navy blue train was stopped on the dark brown tracks; it looked like a large portion of the tracks was covered in rust. The surrounding area was made up of short, light green grass and a few mountains. The sky was a beautiful light blue color, with almost no clouds in the sky, with the exception of a few fluffy white ones here and there.

The train doors opened to reveal a kappa wearing a train conductor's outfit. "Where ye be headin' to today, miss?"

"Please take me to the Smash Mansion, sir," Lucina answered. "My name is Lucina. I will be fighting in the tournament."

"Lucina...Lucina...Aha! Master Hand told me that two newcomers would be joinin' today," the kappa said. "Come aboard, lass, and I'll bring ye and the other gal to the mansion... Oh, that's right. Me name's Kapp'n, by the way. Sorry fer not introducin' meself sooner."

"It's all right," Lucina said as she climbed aboard the train.

As the train gradually took off, Lucina stood in the doorway and watched the beautiful scenery pass by. Soon, her new life as a Smasher would begin.

Father... she thought, I will make you proud. Filled with determination and optimism, she smiled to herself. I will make you proud.

...I think now would be an appropriate time to insert Rouge Message from Kiki's Delivery Service, wouldn't it?

Wow, that one took a while to write! I really hope I did a good job on this. Personally, I think it's one of my better ideas... ;)

Anyways, please review if you'd like! I'd appreciate it! Also, look forward to the next chapter soon! :]
