Hey there, everyone! So, here it is: my contest entry for Smash King24's Christmas Contest of 2014! I must admit that I'm quite nervous to start this particular fanfiction. I've done one fanfiction on Super Smash Bros. before this, and while it was received rather well, it wasn't a multi-chapter fanfiction like this will be. I really hope you guys like this fanfiction, and that you all feel like it captures the spirit of Christmas.

By the way, I'm not too familiar with Fire Emblem: Awakening because I do not own it (yet). Therefore, I'm not going to follow the storylines of the game too closely. So if something I write doesn't match up with the game, you know why. I'm sorry if anyone's disappointed by this, but I don't want to unintentionally butcher any storylines from the video game. I hope you all understand. :)

I ow nothing related to Super Smash Bros., or any games related to the franchise.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D

Lucina's heart sank as she watched Link and Zelda sitting on a loveseat in the living room, whispering what were most likely sweet nothings to each other. While she was happy for the couple, Lucina felt loneliness hit her like a brick wall.

I wish he was here, she thought.

She quietly exited the entrance to the living room, and walked to her room. She shut the door, and instantly felt even lonelier than before- something she didn't even think was possible.

Robin had better be okay, she added to her train of thought.

Upon thinking of him, she grinned a little. She and Robin had only started dating three months ago after being friends for so long. They were still in the beginning stages of their relationship, so everything was new and exciting. At least, that's how it should have been.

Unfortunately, Chrom had forced Robin to come back home to help out with the repair of Ylisse after the hell Grima had done to the country. Lucina had wanted to go so badly, but for some strange reason, Chrom wouldn't let her.

"You've done more than enough, Lucina," he had said to her in a kind, yet firm voice. "You must stay."

Why the hell did I listen to him? I should've never listened to him, thought a now annoyed Lucina.

But she had to listen to Chrom- he was her father, after all. So she had nodded and accepted his words, albeit bitterly.

When I see him next, I swear to Gods I will get an explanation, come hell or high water!

Her annoyance was suddenly replaced with sadness. She missed Robin so much, more than she'd ever admit to anyone- and that included Robin himself. As she sat on the bed, she pulled her knees up to her chest, and sighed softly. Gods, all she wanted was for Robin to be here, in the Smash Bros. mansion, before Christmas.

Christmas! Oh my goodness, I almost forgot that it's coming, thought Lucina suddenly.

She looked at the calendar that hung on her wall, and saw that it was already December second. That meant that Christmas Day was just twenty-three days away.

"What will I get Robin?" wondered Lucina out loud. She stretched her body out on the bed to try and think about a decent present to get her boyfriend. But unfortunately for her, nothing came to mind. Frustrated, she let out a large sigh.

This isn't going to be easy, she thought in a grim manner.

"Would the following Brawlers please go to the Fighting Chamber?" announced Master Hand in a loud, abrupt voice. "Pikachu, Samus, Captain Falcon, and Lucina, please report to the Fighting Chamber immediately!"

Lucina smiled at the announcement. While she wasn't usually super excited for a Brawl, it was different for today. She needed a distraction from everything she had been thinking, and she knew that this Brawl would do the trick.

"How much longer?"

"As long as it takes."

Robin groaned, making Chrom laugh.

"I need a break," whined Robin. "Just five minutes, please."

"Well… okay," said Chrom.

Grateful, Robin set a large brick down and sat on a couple others nearby. Chrom sat beside, wiping sweat off his forehead.

"We've gotten a lot done today," remarked Chrom with surprise.

"But we've still got so much stuff to do," added Robin. "It's gonna take a lot of time."

Chrom nodded. "Yes, it will. But it'll be worth it when we see Ylisse back in its former glory."

"True," said Robin absently. He shifted in his seat and looked away.

"What's wrong?" asked Chrom.

"It's-it's nothing," replied Robin.

Ugh, why did I stutter? Now he'll think something's up, he thought.

"It's about Lucina, isn't it?"

"Well…"

"It's okay, Robin," chuckled Chrom. "You miss her- there's nothing wrong with that."

"I-I know," stammered Robin. "I do enjoy helping you, don't get me wrong! I just… I really miss Lucina." He sighed and hung his head, embarrassed to show a more vulnerable side of his personality to the father of his girlfriend.

But if this new side of him annoyed Chrom, he didn't lead it on. Instead, he sat back and processed Robin's words.

"I promise you Robin, I will get you back to the Smash Bros. Mansion in just a few weeks," declared Chrom confidently.

"Really?"

"Really! But only if we get back to work now. Those five minutes are already up."

Robin bit his lip, but he nodded as he stood up to get back to fixing up Ylisse.

Lucina stumbled back to her room, sore as hell. Somehow, she had managed to win her Brawl against Pikachu, Samus, and Captain Falcon. She didn't really think she had a chance- after all, all three of her opponents were Smash Bros. veterans- but yet, Lucina had pulled off an upset victory by last eliminating Samus.

If Robin had seen me…

Lucina stopped that thought dead in her mind. She leaned her sword on the wall, and collapsed into bed. She was still wearing her armour, but she didn't care at the moment. She closed her eyes and let Robin's face consume her mind. But it turned out to be one of her not so great ideas, as tears suddenly filled up behind her eyes.

"Oh, Gods," she muttered.

She screwed her eyes open and use one finger to push her tears back into her eyes. She finally got out of bed and took off her armour and tiara. After placing it all back in its proper spot, she stripped off the remainder of her clothes. Now naked, she stepped into her personal bathroom, and started up the shower. She stepped in once the temperature was just right, where she let herself get drenched by the borderline scalding hot water.

Lucina forced herself to think about the Brawl she'd just endured to stop herself from thinking about Robin. From the way she had eliminated Samus to grab the win, to landing her Final Smash on Captain Falcon to get a KO, the match was all she thought about. She managed to keep her mind on the same damn thing until she was finished her shower. For reasons she knew she'd never understand, Robin's face invaded her thoughts when she began to dry off from head to toe.

Help me, Gods, she thought with desperation. I think I'm losing my mind.

Annoyed, Lucina quickly finished drying herself off and left the bathroom. She changed into some more casual clothes- black sweatshirt material short shorts and a plain navy blue T-shirt- and kneeled in front of her bed.

"Please Gods, let Robin come back to me soon," she said in a soft voice. "I can't stop worrying about him."

Satisfied with her plea, Lucina crawled into bed and tried to get some sleep. But even as she did so, she knew in her heart of hearts that sleep wasn't going to come that easily.

There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed the beginning of this fanfiction. :)

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 2! :D
