Secret Smash, Ch.1

Secret Smash, Ch.1
When Mario decides that the best way to spend Christmas is playing a game of Secret Santa, chaos(as usual) breaks loose. Now everybody must hurry themselves to find a gift for someone they probably know nothing about. However, some romance is sure to ensue from this lovely holiday game, but the question is, who?

---

It was that time of year again. Snow drifted slowly from the puffy clouds in the sky, covering the ground around the Smash Mansion in a soft, chilly blanket. The outside of the mansion was decorated in Christmas lights, twinkling red, blue, green, yellow, and white. Icicles hung from the fancy ledges of the building. A few were dangerously sharp, but the Ice Climbers were getting rid of those with their hammers.

In a field near the mansion a few of the creatures were having a snowball fight. Pikachu ducked behind a rock just before Squirtle threw a snowball at him. Pichu came up from behind Squirtle at hit his shell with a snowball. Squirtle turned towards Pichu and threw a snowball, only to miss. Then, Pikachu hit him from behind and Squirtle turned towards hit and nailed Pikachu in the face. He jumped in triumph, but Pichu hit him in the back again.

The electric mice went on with this trick for awhile until Mewtwo floated over making all three of them stop and look at him. Mewtwo wiggled his finger and shook his head as if to say, "That's not fair." Then he grinned, and lifted his hand up.

Pikachu, Pichu, and Squirtle all ran for their lives at Mewtwo used his psychic powers to pelt them with snowballs.

All in good fun, of course.

Meanwhile Yoshi was swallowing up snowballs and spitting them at Kirby who had his ice ability. Kirby quickly froze the snowballs into ice-balls and kicked them back at Yoshi. Over to the side, blue pikmin were having an all out war of tiny snowballs against the yellow pikmin. Snow was kicked up in a flurry as they played, sparkling in the dim light of the cloud-blocked sun before it fell on the ground once more.

Behind the mansion were large hills covered in snow. On the top of the highest hill stood Toon Link, Ness, and Lucas. Toon Link laid down a sled large enough to fit the three of them. He hopped on followed by Ness, but Lucas looked hesitant.

"Come on, Lucas!" Ness exclaimed.

"I-I don't know... The hill looks pretty steep... Are you sure it's safe?" Lucas asked.

"Of course!" Toon Link said assured Lucas, which didn't really help coming from a maniac of a Toon. "Now get on!"

Reluctantly, Lucas got on the sled.

"Ready... Go!" Toon Link exclaimed and kicked off as they began sliding downhill. They gained speed fast, zipping past small trees or rocks. Toon Link threw his hands up, Ness hollered, and Lucas screamed as he held on for dear life. They shot through a pile of snow, making Toon Link exclaim, "Oh yeah!" while the snow simply blinded Lucas. The poor kid couldn't see anything and he wasn't going to let go of the sled to wipe the snow off.

They practically flew up a smaller hill and into the air; which terrified Lucas even more. But after awhile, it actually became kinda fun. Though he still couldn't see, Lucas hollered in joy just like Ness and Toon Link.

"This is pretty fun," He thought. But just as he said that, Toon Link and Ness got really quiet, which worried Lucas a bit.

"Um, guys? You still on the sled?" He asked. He finally wiped the snow off his eyes just in time to see them hit a large rock. The sled shattered, and all three of them were hurled into the air, going up very, very high, and screaming their lungs out as they fell back to Earth.

"I love the holidays," Roy said as he walked alongside Marth and Pit.

"Why, because near Christmas is the only time you're actually allowed to come back here legally?" Marth asked and Pit chuckled.

"That, and Christmas time is the best time of the year!" Roy exclaimed.

All three of them stopped and looked up when they heard screaming. Marth and Roy jumped out of the way just in time but Pit was not so lucky. Toon Link and Ness hit the ground with a 'splat!' and Lucas landed right on top of Pit. Marth and Roy looked at them and blinked. Lucas jumped right off Pit and stood up with new found confidence and energy.

"Let's do that again!" He exclaimed.

"NO!" Toon Link, Ness, and Pit all said at the same time.

"Aw..."

As Marth and Roy helped Pit up and brushed him off, the intercoms around the outside of the mansion screeched as they came on.

"Attention all Smashers, attention all Smashers," Said the voice of Luigi through the intercoms. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned towards the mansion.

"Please report to the main living room at this time. Mario has planned a special event for everyone." The intercom shut off, and everyone chatted to themselves as they went inside.

"I'm gonna win! I'm gonna win!" Link exclaimed as he sat in the main living room playing Mario Kart 8 with Ike and Samus. The game wasn't even out yet, but the Smashers got special privileges like that.

"No, I am!" Ike exclaimed. The two glared at each other as they were about to cross the finish line, but suddenly they were both blow away by a bomb as Samus passed through them and crossed the finish line.

"Wha-"

Samus interrupted them both, "Never take your eyes off the screen!" She snickered and laughed when Link whined after he saw he got last place.

"No fair!"

"All's fair in love and war." Ike said.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"...Never mind."

Samus looked over at Mario who just walked in.

"Alright, cut it off." He said.

"But I demand a rematch!" Link exclaimed.

Mario shook his head. "You can do that later. Didn't you hear the announcement?"

"What announcement?" They asked.

Mario sighed, rubbed his face, and cut the game off. Ike, Samus, and Link all put their controllers up and took a seat as all the others Smashers walked in and took their own seats. Once everyone was accounted for, Mario clapped his hands to get their attention.

"Ahem, as you know it's getting very close to Christmas, the greatest holiday of the year. So, I thought that this year we could all play a game."

"Is it an epic snowball fight?" Toon Link asked.

"No, it's nothing like that."

"Ooo! Ooo! Are we gonna have a snowman making contest?! I'm really good at that!" Phillip, the Villager who was one of the new guys, exclaimed.

"No, it's not that either."

"Then what is it?" Ike asked.

"We're going to play Secret Santa!" Mario exclaimed.

Silence.

"Wazzat?" Roy asked.

Mario facepalmed so hard it left a red mark on his face.

"Er... Bro? You okay?" Luigi, who was standing by Mario, asked.

"I'm fine Luigi..." Mario said. He looked at the silent Smashers and explained to them what Secret Santa was and how it worked. When he was done there were a few excited murmurs but they were mainly blocked out by groans of protest.

"Do we really have to?"

"Yes." Mario said.

"What if we don't know what to get somebody?"

"Guess."

"Why do you like to torture us?!"

"Because you guys torture me everyday when you blow up things and make me have to go to my own personal account to replace or repair whatever the heck it was you idiots broke!"

"...Understandable."

The room quieted down as Mario got a bag.

"Everyone's name is in here, even the people from Melee. Save for Dr. Mario, because undoubtedly someone will get hurt, and we'll need him here. And Pokémon, besides Mewtwo and Lucario, can't read. And yes, Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer, and Phillip are also going to play as well." Phillip bounced up and down and Mega Man blinked.

"But I barely know anyone here!" He complained.

"Then just guess!" Mario exclaimed, starting to get annoyed. Mega Man sighed. Mario walked around the room and gave everyone a slit of paper before throwing the bag away.

"Alright. Everyone look at your papers. You know how this game works now, and no swapping with anybody! I have these papers specially marked, so if you swap, I will be able to tell! Whoever swaps to steals someone else's paper will be fed to Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, understand?!" He looked around the room with a serious glare to make sure his point got across. Everyone gulped and nodded.

"Good. Christmas is coming up soon, so hurry and find a gift!" Everyone scattered out of the room, but Ike and Link stayed behind to play Mario Kart 8.

"NOW!" Mario yelled with a murderous glare and the two swordsmen ran out of the room.
