Chapter 4: Wrapping Things Up
*Today, we find Link and Pikachu in a meeting with Dan and Kyle, as they try to get the two interviewers to accept Ganondorf, Game-and-Watch, and Bowser into the game!*
Dan: I'm sorry, but we just can't take any more entries! We've already got 20 characters, and that was our limit!
Link: Then change the limit! It won't hurt anything to have a few more people in here!
Kyle: But 23 is such a strange number! We can't have 23 contestants!
Pikachu: Pikapi pika pika pikachu! Kachu pikpikachu pikpikapi!
Kyle: Huh?
Link: He says to get rid of Dr. Mario, who's a clone of Mario, and pitch out Roy and Marth, who no one's ever heard of!
Dan: We can't do that! We've already signed contracts!
Link: Then you're just going to have to get a 24th character!
Dan: That's even worse than 23!
Link: How is 24 a bad number?! It's even! You can put four rows of six on the character selection screen!
Kyle: Well... It's not planned! We can't do it!
Link: I say you can!
Pikachu: Pika!
Kyle: Well, we're not going to!
Link: Yes, you are!
Kyle and Dan: No, we're not!
Link: *pulling out the Master Sword, while Pikachu's cheeks start sparking* WE say that you ARE!
Dan: *gulping as Link places the point of his sword at his throat* Uh, okay!
Link: And since you are so against having just 23 characters, me and Pikachu have two more characters for you to use!
Kyle: So we'd have 25?
Link: Yeah, 25. Just imagine how many of them you could use as secret characters! Imagine the replayability!
Kyle: *Sighing with resignation* Okay, fine, who are your last two characters?
Link: May we present... *throws open the door, to reveal...* Young Link and Pichu!
Dan: What?! Two more clone characters?! *Pichu blasts him with electricity* Aaaah! Yes! Okay! Clones are good!
Kyle: Er, I have a question... I can figure out how Pichu's here, I mean, she's Pikachu's friend or something, right?
Link: Kid sister, actually...
Kyle: *nods* Yeah, but I don't get how Young Link is here... I mean, isn't he you?
Young Link: No, he's me. I won't be him for seven years.
Kyle: But how did you get here?!
Young Link: Ocarina of Time, as usual. Haven't you ever heard of time travel?
Dan: *rubbing his forehead* Spare me the details. Stuff like that gives me a headache...
Link: So, are they in?
Dan: *glancing between the four determined contestants* Uh, yeah, they're all in. Just don't try to get any more, or the programers will kill us!
*Meanwhile, Ganondorf, Bowser, and Game-and-Watch have just received a small stack of letters*
Bowser: Fan mail? Do you think it's really possible?
G&W: *shuffles through the letters* Unlikely... Hmm, bill... bill... "You may have already won"... "500 free CDs with the purchase of a camel"!? What the heck is that about?! I gotta check that one out later... *puts the aforementioned letter aside* Hmm, what's this? Fan mail!
Ganondorf: No, no, they can't be fan mail. They're all pink, and one of them's made out to Bowser!
Bowser: Love letters! Maybe Princess Peach has finally come around!
Ganondorf: And she's in love with us too?
Bowser: Well, maybe she's just telling you two to get lost! *both of them give him withering looks* What? It could happen!
Ganondorf: There's only one way to find out for sure... Open it, Game-man!
G&W: Okay, let's see... "Dear Mr. Game-and-Watch" -- I assume that your letters are adressed to the two of you --
Bowser: But what if they're not?
Ganondorf: Silence! I want to hear the rest!
G&W: Ahem... "You have my most sincere thanks for saving Link from legally binding matrimony to that fish-girl, Ruto. You have saved us all from uncomparable disaster. You can hardly imagine the terror that such an event would have inspired. With my deepest appreciation, Her Royal Majesty, Princess Zelda..."
Ganondorf: That's sick! That's totally sick! We saved the world from unimaginable terror?! This is outrageous!
G&W: Well, at least we did something evil. Shipping Ruto to Gerudo Valley in a wooden crate can't exactly be considered nice!
Ganondorf: So what? If I knew that everyone was going to appreciate what we did, I'd have never have helped to do it! I'd have probably just sat on the groom's side of the aisle and applauded once it was over! *Ganondorf rips open the door* I'll be back in a while; right now I'm going to go destroy something! *Raging out of the room, he slams the door behind him, causing the doorknob to fall off and the wood to splinter.*
Bowser: Hey, Game-and-Watch, what does mine say?
*Now that all the interviews are taken care of, all the applicants are about to enjoy the last event of the Smash Bash, a talent show! Certain characters have decided to do different routines, and the show is just about to begin!*
Ash: Oh, boy, this is going to be great! *As he sits down in his seat, Pikachu and Link come down the aisle. Pikachu immediately jumps up onto Ash's hat, while Link takes a seat next to Kirby.*
Misty: *Watching Marth and Roy showing off their excellent swordsmanship onstage.* Wow, they're so amazing. Kinda cute too!
Ash: Yeah right...
Link: *overhearing Misty's remark* Ha, do you hear that, Kirby? I could beat those two together, with just the Kokiri Sword, and it's nothing more than a dagger!
Young Link: *walking past* You and me, now that'd be something to see!
Kirby: It wouldn't be fair, kid. He knows all your moves, and he's had time to pick up new tricks.
Young Link: Eh, maybe someday we'll find out. Anyway, I got to get back to the past so that Link here has a future. I'll see ya later.
Link: I'll see me around!
Young Link: Yeah, whatever...
*Back at Ash's group, Brock is extremely excited.*
Brock: Guess what guys! Samus is up next! She's going to do a demonstration on martial arts and weaponry!
*Just as Brock said, Samus comes out on stage and sets up a large number of targets. After a brief word of greeting, she attacks them, demolishing them in about three seconds flat.*
Samus: ...as you can see, the repeating cannon is much more effective than the plasma blaster at eliminating multiple targets, although the plasma blaster is better for penetrating armor. I trust that you all have learned something from this demonstration.
Brock: Isn't she dreamy!?
Ash: Wow, cool! I need to get one of those!
Misty: You two are both crazy!
*As Ash and Brock admire Samus' weaponry skills (or just Samus herself, in Brock's case), Link is chatting with Kirby*
Kirby: Well, I hope you manage to get your new game back into the regular 3D. I mean, it just looks so cool like that!
Link: I dunno, I guess that's true. Actually, I was just starting to like the new cel-shaded look, or at least I didn't hate it as much. It's really all Zelda's idea, and you know, since the series is named after her, she's got a lot of sway... Oh, speaking of my games, I almost forgot. You wanted this... *Link pulls out the All-Night Mask* You know, this thing's actually supposed to be a torture device. I don't know why you want it so badly!
Kirby: Does it really keep you awake, no matter how tired you get?
Link: Oh, yeah... You couldn't go to sleep if you tried! That's the only way I actually managed to get through that whole thing in Termina. You know how hard it is to stay up three nights in a row, 39 times?
Kirby: That's rough... You should have just taken a couple cycles to sleep.
Link: Yeah, I know. I was in adventure mode, though, so it never crossed my mind. You know what I'm like when I get like that. Anyway, you still haven't told me why you wanted that mask so much!
Kirby: Well, it's sort of a present for my girl... *Kirby put the mask on* Hmm... nice fit!
Link: *stares at Kirby, who's almost totally covered by the mask* You call that a fit?
Kirby: Hey, it works, so who's complaining? Whoa... I can't even blink!
Link: Yeah, but don't worry. There's some glass lenses or something that keep your eyes from drying out or bugs from getting in them...
Kirby: Cool! *Leans back in his chair* Well, let's put this thing to the test!
Link: Gosh, Kirby, that chair's not even comfortable! You couldn't fall asleep in it even without the mask. You couldn't fall asleep in that chair if you were drugged!
Kirby: True...
Link: Then how do you expect to have a fair test? I mean, there's no way you could... Wait... *Link gets a look of horrified realization on his face* Hey! Give me that mask back! *Link dives at the mask, but Kirby skillfully dodges and floats above Link's reach.* Come on! This isn't funny!
*Meanwhile, Jigglypuff has come onstage. Clearing her throat, she starts singing before anyone can make a hasty exit. Link, as well as everyone else, slumps over and falls asleep. Only Kirby is left awake. Finally, as Jigglypuff finishes her song, she is amazed to hear the sound of clapping. She looks into the snoozing crowd and spots Kirby cheering her on. With tears of joy streaming down her face, she runs to him and gives him a kiss. Together, the two of them walk out of the theater...*
The End!
