Super Smash Bros.: Melee Manor (for finkfly90)

“Look at them…”

Skylar giggled to herself, tucked safely behind the open door-frame while her pink-haired partner waited off to the side. “They’re so boooring!” The orange-tentacled Inkling laughed again, then turning to her Villager friend and whispering “Sshhh!”

Unbeknownst to their two little spectators, three Princesses were sharing a gentle cup of tea with one particularly tired Tactician and were engaged in quite the riveting conversation about magic. Peach was pouring Daisy a fresh cup while Zelda and Robin exchanged theories. “The difference is,” Zelda explained in her usual pompous voice, “That magic isn’t learned from tomes in my Kingdom. Spells are learned, and they require material magic to use.”

“That’s fine, Princess, but with all due respect, if magic can be learned and used indefinitely with the help of a book, then isn’t it a more effective tool?” Robin responded, her response droning off into a much longer, more boring reply while Peach nodded and pretended to understand what was going on the whole time.

“Uggghhh! L-A-M-E.” Skylar fell back against the wall and turned to her co-listener. “You know what’s so much more interesting?~” She asked, hinting at a tone of mischief that anyone would know could mean no good. Rather than answer the question, Skylar unsaddled the backpack from off her shoulders and unzipped the top, then reaching inside and pulling out a simple pair of orange fitness shorts.

Nothing remarkable. But before Inkling could even say another word, a much less boring, much more frustrated voice pierced from the other room.

“Who the FUCK is STILL stealing my God. Damn. Clothes?!”

The pink haired Villeger watched the four girls having their sweet conversation with a smile on her face, glad to see them all getting along. She would occasionally turn to Skyla a furl her eyebrow at the faces and noises of disgust the Inkling would make. It wasn’t until the squid kid showed her the orange clothing and the upcoming sounds of anger that the mayor’s eyes went wide.

Daisy was peacefully enjoying the conversations with her fellow princesses when the blonde bounty hunter stormed in the room, clearly extremely livid. In an attempt to defuse the situation and try to make a good impression on her coworkers, Daisy arose from her chair and slowly approached the woman. “Hi Samus, is there a problem?” The princess asked, forcing an awkward smile.

Fine by her. If her companion wouldn’t revel in the grown-up’s misfortune, Skylar was more than happy to soak up the excitement. “Now, watch this!” She beckoned over her shoulder, though not moving an inch to allow Villager any ability to see over her shoulder. A toothy grin grew on Skylar’s mouth while she watched.

“Samus!” Peach sprung awake once the furious huntress stormed into their room, creating little ripples in their cups of tea with her mere footsteps. “We do NOT use that kind of lan-!”

“Shut UP, Peach!” Samus lashed back, not about to be lectured by Ms. Toadstool. Zelda and Robin exchanged awkward glances, wondering what the right move to make here was… and props to Daisy for being brave enough to try. Unfortunately, they both knew how these two’s interactions usually ended.

“I don’t know, Daisy, is there a problem?” Samus asked in a painfully sarcastic tone. “How many God damn times have I told you, the orange shorts. Are. Mine!” She closed in, putting a matter of inches between their noses mostly defined by their differing height. “If they don’t have your stupid crown on them, they aren’t yours!”

“Oh, man!” Skylar giggled, “They’ll fight over anything. See?”

[finkfly90]

Villager narrowed her eyebrows and gave her a look of disapproval but turned back to see what happens from here, gulping as she saw how angry Samus was.

Daisy was a bit taken aback by the girl’s anger but raised her hands up defensively. “I promise I didn’t touch your clothes!” Daisy said, trying to remain calm. “But if you want, we can talk privately about this mixup.” The princess suggested, gesturing towards the exit.

“The most ‘private’ this will get is when you bring me to your room and hand back everything that belongs to me.” Samus growled, “I don’t care who sees me beat your ass, Princess!”

“Now, Samus-!” Peach stood up to Daisy’s defense, but Zelda grabbed her hand and sat her right back down. “Stay out of… that.” She advised.

“Don’t give me that look!” Skylar pouted at her pink-haired pal. “You know this is hilarious!”

[finkfly90]

“I didn’t take anything and you know it!” Daisy huffed, finally having enough. “It’s not like I’d be caught dead wearing your tacky clothes anyway.”

The villager plainly ignored the girl and continued to study the action from afar.

“Oh, goddesses.” Zelda muttered, knowing that even the most subtle, meaningless insult would set Samus off right now. One that blatant and personal was just like lighting a match. A grudge match, specifically.

“Tacky?!” Samus narrowed her eyes, “You wear the same damn thing to your tennis matches, bitch!” She chastised. It was like Samus had a wall of anger built behind her and she couldn’t keep that dam back any longer. “I’ll show YOU ‘tacky!’” She promised, and in the blink of an eye, tackled Daisy forward and rolled her against the ground, straight into the tea table that was waiting.

“Aran!” Robin called out, pulling her legs off the floor and onto the couch while Peach backed up, quoting “Oh, goodness!”

“Yeah!” Skylar threw her hands up with excitement. “Now we’re seeing the real action!”

[finkfly90]

“Ah!” Daisy gasped as she was tackled by the blonde. She tried fighting back but the stronger bounty hunter was having a much easier time. “Get off me skank!”

“Aran! We were having a nice conversation and you are ruining it!” Robin loudly chastised Samus while she grappled with Daisy, but her words fell on deaf ears. “Peach!” She turned to her fellow Princess, who was reeling back from the fight. “Do something!”

“I would, b-but you know I’m against violence! Um, D-Daisy, please stop!” The Monarch pitched in. With an exasperated sigh, Robin turned to Zelda. “Princess! You do something!”

Zelda did something, alright. She, in fact, raised her hands above her head and vanished into thin air, teleporting far away from the conflict. Robin dragged her hand along her face and groaned aloud.

It was a short-lived fight and once the dust had settled, Samus had Daisy easily pinned down. Both feet locked under her one easily more muscular leg, the other resting under the Princess’s stomach. Before she could fight back, Samus grabbed Daisy’s right wrist and pinned it to her back.

“How’s THIS for ‘tacky?!’” She asked.

“Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh boy!” Skylar’s hands were balled into eager fists while she bounced excitedly in place. “You seein’ this?!”

[finkfly90]

“Gah!” Daisy gasped as she struggled under the bounty hunter’s hold to no avail. “You better let me go! I didn’t take your smelly clothes!” She protested, kick her feet a little as she could. “You’re being such a bitch right now!”

Villager couldn’t watch anymore, clasping her flat hands over her eyes.
