Meggy, knocking on Linkâs door: Link, I need your help!
Link:Â Uh, Iâm kinda in the middle of something!
Meggy, rolling her eyes:Â I already know what the something is. But I really need your help baking a cake! Itâs important!
Just as she said that, there was a sound of a door being thrown open faintly heard. Then, footsteps were heard from across the mansion, getting louder as they got closer to Meggy. The footsteps then skidded to a halt as Peach grabbed the orange Inklingâs cheeeks and crouched to her level.
Peach:Â Did you say bake a cake?!
Meggy, still having her cheeks squished:Â Yeah, it'sh for Nessh. I-
Peach: Have no fear, Meggy! Iâll help you in baking that cake! (picks her up and runs off)
As Peachâs footsteps grow quiet as she leaves, Samus peeks her head out the door.
Samus:Â Legolas, Peach took Meggy.
Link:Â Should we do something?
Samus, thinking: âŚMmm, no. Peach wonât do anything too crazy. (goes back in the room)Â
Peach eventually stops at the kitchen, placing Meggy down on the kitchen floor.
Peach:Â So, why do you want to bake this cake for Ness? Did he save you?
Meggy:Â I can do that on my own.
Peach:Â Is his birthday coming up?
Meggy:Â Not until August.Â
Meggy:Â Neither of us are gonna remember that. I just wanna bake him a cake.
Peach, placing a finger to her chin: Uh hmâŚ.Whatâs his favorite type of cake?
Meggy:Â Uh, I think he said an ice cream cake?
Peach:Â Mmhm. Well, you just leave this cake to me!
Peach:Â (giggling with a smile)Â I should be thanking you, Meggy. With your help, Iâll know exactly how to design the cake.
Meggy, nervously grinning: My helpâŚ?Â
Peach places a hand on Meggyâs shoulder. The nervous grinning quickly turned into fear as the Inkling looked up at Peach
Ness walks out if his room, still on the phone with his Mom. He and his Mom had a lot of catching up to do while he was in the Smash Mansion.
Ness: Yeah, MomâŚ.Pit? He likes the sweater you knit for him!âŚ.Yeah, Lucas is doing well. Heâs talking to other Smashers more often. Its good for him to get out of his shellâŚ.(Sees the cake) âŚ.YeahâŚ..Okay, bye MomâŚ.Love you tooâŚ(drops the phone)
In front of him was a large orange and white cake with sprinkles somehow on the inside. The size and multiple layers were similar to those wedding cakes he sees on TV. There was also what appeared to be frozen yogurt on the side in the shape writing, but it was in another language he doesnât know of. At the top, there was an orange squid at the top, which he assumed was a decoration. He looks down on a card and sees a note that reads, âTo: Nessâ.
Ness: For me? Must be from Meggy. (takes a plastic spoon out of his bag and gets some cake. He puts the piece in his mouth.) Mmm! This is delicious! She got me ice cream cake? Howâd she even find orange flavored ice cream?
As soon as he said that, the squid decoration at the top of the cake started wiggling. Ness shifted his gaze up, only to see that it had jumped off the top and was coming toward him. The airborne squid spun and transformed into the orange Inkling.
She lands on top of him, knocking him to the floor.
Meggy, rising up: Peach helped me make this! (blushes) A-And before you ask, there isnât an occasion, I just felt like making it for you.
She looks down at her boyfriend with a smile.
Meggy:Â So, do you like it?
Ness was unable to answer because he was currently unconscious. Having a girl jump down and knock you to the floor was one thing. Having her jump down, force her knees down onto your ribs, hitting the back of your head on your phoneâs thick case, and being surprised was a combination that meant a possible KO.
Meggy: N-Ness?! (she picks him up and starts panicking)
Peach, watching from a corner: AhâŚI remember when I leapt from the cake into Marioâs arms in my younger daysâŚ
Mario, also watching: You burst out of the cake. To prank me. And Luigi was the one who fainted.
