“This is preposterous!”

Link and Samus glanced at each other in question as the British voice yelled out.  The door then slammed open to revealed an elderly Toad, who marched into the room with a none too happy look on his face.

“Is there anything we can help you with, Toadsworth?” asked Link.

“What is this I hear about Princess Peach returning for Super Smash Bros.?!” demanded the elder.

“Considering she was in Melee and Brawl, it’s not all that surprising that she’d return for the fourth entry,” stated Samus.

“I did not want her to be in those two entries to begin with!” exclaimed Toadsworth. “It is too dangerous for her!”

Samus could only roll her eyes while Link tried to reason with the old man.

“I know you worry about her, Toadsworth, but she actually is a pretty decent fighter,” said the swordsman. “Besides, Mario’s always there to make sure she doesn’t get too hurt.”

“…Be that as it may, I still need to make sure she is safe.  I wish to sign up as a Smash Fighter!”

The two veterans gave the Toad blank looks at his declaration.

“…What?” questioned the bounty hunter, being the first to regain a train of thought.

“Do not let my age fool you.  I am quite capable of fighting and protecting the Princess.  Unlike those younger Toads who start running around like headless chickens every time Bowser invades,” said Toadsworth, saying the last part with a grimace.

“I don’t know, Toadsworth.  Peach might not like this,” said Link, a worried look on his face.

“It does not matter.  I have cared for and protected her since she was a baby and I am not going to stop now!”

Link let out a sigh. “Very well.  We’ll send in an application for you.”

“It is much appreciated.  Well then, I must be off.  Tally-ho!”

With that, the elder Toad left, leaving behind two weary blond/es.

“Think we should tell Peach about this?” asked Link.

“…No.  The chances of Toadsworth getting in is slim, so no harm will be done,” replied Samus.

Thinking about it, Link had to agree.

CHAPTER END
As with Olimar and Luigi, I wanted to write up a chapter about Peach’s return. Unfortunately Toadsworth was the only character left who has a connection to her. Granted he has better chance at getting in than Toad, who returns as Peach’s meat shield.

:iconprincesspeachplz: Did I heard Toadsworth just now?
:iconsamusaranplz: Yeah, apparently he's concerned about your safety in the Super Smash Bros games.
:iconprincesspeachplz: Oh, dear... I know Toadsworth means well, but sometimes I think he worries too much. After the mess with King Boo and the Vibe Sceptor, I came to realize Mario and Luigi may not be there to protect me all the time.
:iconsamusaranplz: Oh, now I see! Competing in these games help makes you stronge so  you can look out for yourself.
:iconprincesspeachplz: Yes, and I also met plenty of new friends like you!
:iconsamusaranplz: Thanks! You know, for someone who gets kidnapped on a daily basis, you're not too bad yourself.
:iconprincesspeachplz: Teehee! Thank you, Samus! :hug:
:iconsamusaranplz: You're welcome!
