Pit's descent

As soon as he arrived, Pit looked at the Brawl Mansion with amazement.

Yep… finally, here I am.

He took out the keys he was given, walked toward the door and opened it. Inside, in the hall, there were several of his new mates. The one that he recognized as Fox looked at him from the couch and then yelled to the air.

"Peach! The new kid's here!"

"Hi, I'm Pi…"

"Can't you just welcome him? I have to do everything in this house!" the Princess said appearing from somewhere.

"Hi, I'm…"

"Hello, dear, can you wait a second, please? I'll be right back."

Never mind. I guess I'll still be here.

As she disappeared, Pit looked at the guys. They were reading or just sitting there in boredom. Maybe because it's Wednesday. Someone hit Pit on the back and he immediately turned around with an arrow on his bow.

"You can't defeat me!"

The one that had hit him stared at him… and then started to laugh.

"Did you just say what I heard? You, the boy in a dress?"

Everyone in the hall laughed.

"You must be kidding me, boy."

"Oh, Wario, leave him alone! He has just arrived!" Peach had come back.

"So he's the new kid."

"Yes. Now, please follow me," she said to Pit. "Everything is a mess because there are not as many rooms as people now. You're the last newcomer, you know?"

"Oh, I didn't know. I was delayed because…"

"Anyway, the thing is that you'll have to share a room because Marth has bothered me so much with the 'I'm-a-Prince-and-I-deserve-my-own-room' thing that I decided that you will sleep in my room. Actually, in my wardrobe. That shouldn't be big deal since it is like a small room. So, before you enter my room—from yours or from the aisle—please knock the door and say 'Princess Peach, may I come in?' and, depending on the directions I give you, you might do it or not. The bathroom has lock. I usually take a bath in the mornings and at night; I'll use the bath then. You can use the shower in the afternoons. Ah, and the ward—I mean, your room—is full of my clothes… We'll have to get a dresser for you. But whatever. By the way, you're Pit, right?" she said taking a breath. She spoke so fast and high-pitched that Pit barely understood her. He nodded when he heard his name wishing it was the right answer. They reached the door of a room and she took out a key-ring with dozens of keys, surely corresponding to every door in the mansion. "I'm Peach, nice to meet you," she continued not letting him say a word. "I'll be around here if you need me. Ah, and the guys are very… active… but they're actually kind. You'll be here for a while, so try to make some friends and you'll see you'll have a really good time" she finished and walked away.

For Palutena, how she speaks! I was wondering when she'd shut up!

"Oh, and now it's yummi-time, honey!" Peach had just come back. "I don't know where my head is, I forgot to tell you… Leave your suitcase here and I'll show you the way to the dining room. You could seize the opportunity to present yourself to the others! Also ask someone to show you the house, 'cause I'm very busy right now."

"Yes…"

This aisle is just a disaster…

"I'm sorry about the corridor, dear," Did she just read my mind? "You'll see, when it's yummi-time, everybody wants to get to the dining room first. It becomes a real battle. I don't have to worry, but you should. They're really, really strong."

"Uhm…" He raised an eyebrow.

You think I'm a newborn, don't you?

"Here we are!"

Oh my goddess. All the smashers are here! Now I understand why the Mansion's so big.

"Hi, guys!" Peach said out loud, and everybody looked at her. "We have a new mate!" she sang.

"Hi! I'm…"

"He's Pit! He's never been to a smash before so be nice to him."

"Is he the 'man' from Angel Land?" someone asked skeptically.

"Cat got your tongue, Cupid?" said another voice.

Oh, shut up! Thought I had got rid of those nicknames!

"Link, Ike! Don't be like that!" Peach defended him and slightly smacked the mentioned guys. "You're ok as you are right now, Pit", she said motherly. Pit's cheeks turned red and some laughter was heard. Pit sat down in a chair.

Godness!

"Oh, darling…" Peach whispered "…that's my place. I prepared you a chair at the children table…"

Great goddess Palutena, this can't be true…

Pit stood up and walked to a table he hadn't noticed before. It was a small table where Pikachu, Ness, Lucas, Toon Link and others were sitting. The chair was so small that Pit barely fit in.

Curse you, Medusa! Curse you!

When he finished eating, he was covered with the food the boys had been playing with.

I just can't believe it! The Ice Climbers are in the adults table and I swear I'm older than them!

Everybody stood up and left the room. Only a few remained, chatting with each other. Pit got close to them to ask them a favor.

"Hey, guys."

They literally observed him, like testing him.

"Hey", they finally said.

"I was wondering if any of you could show me the house so that…"

"Got no time" Ike stated.

"I gotta go" Link said.

"Don't even ask me" Zero Suit Samus muttered.

"Didn't Peach tell you?" Zelda asked. "You have to go with Master Hand to prepare your costumes and weapons for the battles. You won't fight with that dress, will you?"

It's not a dress, for Palutena's sake!

"Well, I guess you can, if I can fight with mine. Anyway, you need to go with Master Hand. Go upstairs and turn left. It's the door at the end of the corridor."

"Right. Thanks, guys!"

"Bye."

Finally I found someone kind in this house! And not the Peach-way kind.

*

"Did you just send him with Crazy Hand?" Ike asked Zelda.

"Did I? Oh, my mistake," she said with no regret.

*

Upstairs and left. Got it.

Knock, knock.

I hope Master Hand doesn't take long with this outfit thing. I wonder when the brawls start. I didn't come to hear Peach's speeches nor eat at the children table.

"Master Hand?" Is anybody inside?

Pit opened the door a little and looked inside.

"Come in!"

Pit entered completely and saw the giant hand in front of him.

"Did you call me, Mastercus?"

A laugh appeared to come out form the hand.

"Yes, yes, sit there, please. No, stand up. We've to prepare you for the battles."

Pit sighed. The hand moved around him and started pouring powders on Pit's face.

"Wh-What's that for?"

"Don't talk! It's for the battles!"

"I don't… I don't think this would help…"

"Silence!"

"What are you doing to me?"

"Shh!!"

Pit finally shut up and close his eyes. He couldn't see anything with all of the powder and sneezed several times. The hand put some garments over him even though he tried to resist.

"What's going on?? I c—"

Suddenly he was hit, again and again.

"What the…?"

Pit opened his eyes preparing himself for a battle and saw the Hand in front of him. A left hand.

"Heaven! That mean princess sent me to Crazy Hand! I hate them all!"

Pit ran out of the room and closed the door.

"Nice look, girl!" told him Sonic, running—or escaping—from someone.

Pit flew to a mirror just to see his face covered of makeup.

"This cannot happen to me!"

"Pit? Is it you?"

The real Master Hand showed up.

"Yes, Mastercus. It is me."

"Cs. Follow me. I need to know what you're going to use in the battles," they entered a room at the opposite end of the corridor. "Do you always fight like that? Because Peach is the only one that has makeup in this house."

"No I — I don't. This was a mistake. Crazy Hand—"

"Oh, Crazy Hand. I understand. The dress too?"

"It's a toga!"

"Oh, I see. It will take a while to make your costumes, I think."

"Never mind. I've got enough of them for several days. And I don't need any weapon either. Palutena gave me all I need."

"Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure."

"Alright. I'll call the seamstress to come and measure you to start making the dresses."

"…Togas."

*

When they finished it was dinner time. Pit washed his face and walked toward the dining room.

"Hey."

What do you want now?

"Hey."

"How you doing?" it was the Pokémon trainer, who didn't seem to have a name.

"Eh… Fine, thanks."

"You lucky. My first day here was a disaster."

"Well, mine… kinda."

"You'll get used to it."

Is that supposed to make me feel better?

"I guess I will."

"Good luck," the boy said, slapped Pit and entered before him. He occupied the last chair in the adults table.

Pit sat with the children.

"Why do you have a 'Kick me' label on the wings?" Lucas asked.

"Because — I have a kick me label on the wings?!"

"Yes… Do I have to kick you? I don't want to kick you now. You can ask Ness. He likes kicking people."

Pit got rid of the label and cursed the world. It doesn't matter. Nothing happened, so just eat and go to bed, Pit. Everything's alright. He gave a bite to his dish. The fire started to came out form his mouth immediately.

"Holy…!"

Pit ran around the room hearing the laughter of the smashers. He couldn't even take a glass of water to drink—it wouldn't have helped, anyway. While he was running around someone drenched him with a bucket of water.

"Sweetie! Are you okay?" Peach asked, concerned.

He glared at her.

"Thanks for the dinner. I'm going to take a shower NOW."

And you better don't even dare to approach.

*

Taking a bath in the bathtub was always relaxing for him. It made him think of Angel Land, where everything was peace and light.

I wish I never left home.

Sh.

I heard a noise. I swear I heard a noise! No, man! Not another joke!

Pit opened the curtain but the bathroom was empty.

I'm paranoid. Nothing has—my clothes. Where are my clothes? Oh no. Oh no.

Only a girly dress was left instead of his toga.

I'd rather be naked than dressed up like a girl.

"Pit, what are you doing naked!" Peach cried as soon as he entered the room.

"I'm not naked! I have my underwear on!"

"You're so pervert! Put something on you! Why are you not in you room?!"

"My clothes were stolen, and the door is stuck!"

"Snake. He was for sure. Anyway! You have to respect the ladies! Put on the dress and I'll go talk to him. How could he dare…"

Pit put on the garment reluctantly. She came back in a few minutes.

"Oh dear, you look so cute! Let me take a picture of you."

"No kidding!"

"Well, Snake said he didn't mean to steal your clothes. He said he only checked if there wasn't anything suspicious in your suitcase."

"So where is my…?"

"And then Kirby said he made the laundry for you. How sweet, don't you think? So tomorrow you'll have it back, clean and complete. Don't worry for tonight."

"And what about the door?"

"Oh, I'm sorry for that. It was me," she giggled. "I changed the lock, so that I can close the door from here. I just think it would be inappropriate to come into a lady's bedroom without her permission. I mean, it's not that I don't trust you…" She opened his door and let him in. "Now, try to sleep."

"Ok."

Pit saw a flash.

"Oh, I gotta show Zelda this picture! She's gonna love you!" Peach disappeared.

! I won't go out to stop her in this outfit! CURSE YOU, PEACH! CURSE YOU!

*

"Are you still up, Pit? I see a light under the door."

"I can't sleep"

"Is there any problem?"

"Well… no."

"Then, turn off the light."

"Do I really have to?" Pit muttered.

"What's the matter, sweet pea?"

"No, it's… I've just come out from Medusa's world of darkness and…"

"Oh! Are you scared of the dark? Honey! You're such a cute child! I'll go ask Popo if he still has his flashlight."

"No! Don't do anything! And I'm almost fifteen!"

"Which means you're fourteen. There's nothing to be ashamed, my child! I'll be right back, don't worry!"

"I'm not a child! I defeated Medusa and saved Palutena! I'm the Captain of…!"

"Shut up!" someone shouted from another room.

Pit hid under the blankets and pretended to sleep. Unfortunately, it didn't seem that Peach cared about that, because as soon as she returned, she enter Pit's 'room' and sat by his feet.

"Here, darling. Popo said he has lost his flashlight, but he asked me to give you this. He says it'll help you to sleep."

Pit uncovered his face just to became pale and tremble at the sight of the… eggplant.

"How… how is that supposed — supposed to help?" he asked, his voice fainting.

"Uhm… Oh, I know!" an idea came to Peach's mind, "Why don't you eat it?"

Pit passed out.

*

Mmmm! Good morning, Great Palutena! Seems like it's gonna be another excellent day in Angel Land. Uh, wings hurt. I won't ever sleep over my back again. And what happened to the clouds? They're so rough. Oh, whatever. Head hurts too! Twisted nightmare!

Pit finally opened his eyes.

"TWISTED REALITY!!"

"Pit? How great you've woken up!" Peach said, there beside him. Clearly, she was not the only one that had been in his 'room', since there was a small drawer installed in a corner (though, it occupied all the space that was left). "I picked up your clothes and put them there. Dress up and join us," she finished and walked out. "It's yummi-time so you better rush!"

Pit took out his togas. His pink togas? It seemed like someone had put them into the washer machine along with his red scarf.

Okay, I'll count to ten. One… Two… Three… Four, five, six, seven eightnineten!

"!!!!!"

He put on his garment reluctantly. "Better off than wearing a dress," he said to himself, trying to be optimistic.

They already laugh at me. It can't get worse from now on.

He stepped out. And there it was: the huge corridor to the dining room with his walls covered of what looked like posters. And they were! Posters that showed a photo of him in a dress with labels like "Not a toga" or "New ages, new trends."

End of the first chapter

Author's note:

If you're wondering "What with the eggplants?" Well, it's because in the Kid Icarus games there is a villain, the Eggplant Wizard, that… turns people into eggplants… I don't remember, I wrote this like a year ago when I had more info in mind xD

About the funny words, like "Princecus", it's because that's the way Pit talked in the old series "Captain N, the Game Master". Youtube: .com/watch?v=xBQVRQWtoS8&feature=related (oh, there you can recognize the Eggplant Wizard! X3)

And at last I want to say that it was hard to choose Pit's expressions when he was angry. I didn't want him to say bad words, since he's an angel. But if I used any of the expressions incorrectly, please tell me. =)
