On a typical summer day, three certain boys were walking down the streets of Tokyo to the local game store. One of them was boldly walking in front of his blond-haired friends. He wore a striped t-shirt and a red baseball hat. The little blond boy who wore a similar outfit warily looked up at passing strangers, who paid no attention to him. The bright yellow-haired Hylian was happily humming a small tune.

"Ness, I heard that a new game console came out today!" The Hylian said to the boy with the red cap. A car suddenly whooshed pass them like Sonic, making him hold onto his floppy lime-green cap.

"I know, that's why we're heading to the game shop, Toon!" Ness replied. The three approached a crosswalk. Seeing no speeding vehicles, Ness was about to carelessly dash down the street when the blond-haired boy suddenly grabbed his hand, immediately stopping him. "What is it, Lucas?" Ness grumpily asked.

"I think we should stop and wait for that light to turn red." Lucas shyly explained. "I don't want a car to hit us." Ness was about to say something in protest when a yellow car with black stripes dashed right by them like a beam of light. "See?" Lucas timidly said as the traffic light turned red, telling all cars heading down the street to stop. Ness rolled his blue eyes in annoyance and followed his friends down the crosswalk to the game shop.

The game shop was crowded like the cafeteria back at the Smash Mansion. Teenagers were standing in front of aisles, either looking at used games or reading Nintendo Power. Some were loitering around the corner with nothing to do, talking loudly to each other like a crowd of Chatots. Game cartages were stacked on shelves like books. Behind the cashier counter were boxes containing consoles, such as the Wii and Gamecube.

"Look, there's the Wii U!" Toon exclaimed over the chattering teens. He pointed to a group of children near their age flocking around the brand-new white console.

Trying to get as close to the TV screen, the three watched a little boy play with the Wii U. He was playing a remake of Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Ness, Lucas, and (Especially!) Toon were greatly amazed at the graphics, not the game play. Although Wind Waker had cartoonish graphics, it nearly looked realistic! A few kids were grouchily grumbling to each other. The little boy had been playing with the Wii U for a whole hour! C'mon, when is he going to stop?

"Hey, when are you gonna let us play?!" a boy while glasses asked impatiently, tipping his sneakers on the flat ground. "You said that you're gonna stop thirty minutes ago!"

"Fine, fine." The little boy sighed. As soon as he put down the 3DS-like controller and walked back to his parents, all of the children instantly rushed to grab the controller. They violently shoved each other and pulled the flat, white pad out of their hands. Toon, Ness, and Lucas quickly backed away. They don't want to be caught up in that blood storm! Those guys are just as violent as Daein soldiers!

"So… What do you guys think?" Ness awkwardly asked, watching the shop supervisors hurrying to break up the childish fight. "I think the Wii U is awesome!"

"I agree!" Lucas piped up with a soft smile.

"I wonder how much does it cost." Toon spoke up. "Let me ask someone."

Toon headed towards the counter and looked at the cashier with his cat-like eyes."Hey, Toon!" The cashier cheerfully greeted. "What do you think of your game's remake?"

"Ness, Lucas, and I really like it!" Toon answered sunnily. "How much does the Wii U cost?"

"It costs $350." The cashier saw the shocked Hylian jump slightly. "I know, it is very expensive."

"Well…" Toon said restlessly. "T-Thank you!"

After leaving the game shop, the three began to talk about the Wii U's price. "Do you guys really want it?" Toon asked.

"Yeah!" Ness answered enthusiastically. "Its games and graphics are awesome!"

Lucas nodded in agreement. "But, how can we pay for it? We can't just ask everyone for money! That isn't right!"

"Maybe we can do some chores!" Toon suggested. "That's it! When we get back at the Smash Mansion, we can do the other brawlers' chores!"

"Wouldn't that make them take advantage of us?" Lucas asked carefully.

"I don't think so!" Ness spoke up. "Everyone has lots of things to do! They are either too busy or lack the motive!"

"If you say so…" Lucas replied, a bit unsure. "Do you think they are actually going to pay us?"

"Yeah!" Toon exclaimed confidently.

Although Toon was sure they will earn enough money for the Wii U in no time, he was wrong. He often had a hard time distinguishing the clear glass-made imagination from the stone-hard ground of reality.

Author's Notes: Folks, you had waiting for this fanfic! Here's the first chapter of the newspaper fanfic! This fanfic is going to be less descriptive and shorter, because it is mainly focused on the characters.

Although this chapter is kinda boring, once when we get to the newspaper parts, this story will be very humorous. Just to warn you, I sometimes fail at being funny. (I have one of the most immature sense of humor in the whole world!)

Instead of just writing about all of the SSBB characters, I'm planning to add other Nintendo characters. So far, I've gotten a request that Chrom and his shepherds should be in the story. (They're in the story!) Time (OoT Link), Eliwood, Lilina, Wolt, Elincia, Elice, Palutena, and (maybe) the Greil Mercenaries are also going to be story.

Story Question:

Which non-SSBB Nintendo character would you like to see in this story?
