The Invitation of the Grottos

*Read the Description before reading… seriously this time*

Berry held the invitation in her hand to once again make sure that this was the right city. The invitation read, in big letters: “You and one friend have been invited to our Halloween bash.” Berry read the address and it was indeed the right place, though it was still difficult finding the correct house, as it seemed like all houses seemed to be having parties.

“Geez Louise, Nacho. I hope we find this thing soon.” Berry said to her best friend, Nacho. “How come, Berry? You’re usually patient… enough, anyway.” Nacho shrugged as she said this. “Well, this wig is getting hard to hold up…” Berry said as she played with her blonde wig. Berry and Nacho, of course dressed the part.

Berry was wearing a large blond wig, that was rolled up at the top of her head and looked somewhat looked like cinnamon bun being held sideways, and you know… made out of hair. There were two bangs hanging down in front of where her ears would be if she was human. She also sported a red scarf, a lavender shirt, blue vest, short white pants, and brown sandals. She also had her sword on her side and bandages wrapped around her arms. She was none other than Princess Zel… I mean, the totally not Princess, pirate captain of Hyrule, Tetra.

“This hair is heavier than it looks, ya know.” Berry continued. Nacho sighed, “Well you didn’t have to be her. You do know there are other female pirate captains out there right?” Berry glared a bit a Nacho’s costume. She wore her blonde hair in two pigtails on the side of her head. She wore a hooded white sweater, white short pants, and two red roller skates. She wore one of Berry’s grunge bracelets on her wrist. She only carried two of her many swords on her belt. She was dressed as none other than Ramona Flower’s evil ex boy… girlfriend Roxie Richter … darn faulty script… Anyway, Berry continued, “Well I only did it ‘cause I thought you were going to be Link!” She sighed. “Well I guess it’s not so bad… who knows… maybe my sisters-”

*ULTIMATE DOUBLE SURPRISE GLOMP OF DEATH!*

“ACK!” Berry cried out in pain. “SIS!” Two other voices cried out in happiness. It was none other than Seed and Citrus Grotto, Berry’s younger and older sisters, respectively. “Huurg… Hey, guys… could you maybe… not try to kill me?” Berry said choking. The two girls released her from their hold. She gasped deeply as she fell to the floor. She got back up and placed her wig, which had fallen off on impact, back on her head.  “I see you guys missed me.” Berry said as she smiled meekly. Seed nodded, “That reminds me… here you go Berry!” She jumped atop Berry’s head and of course,

(PPPRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!)

Berry started coughing once again as she accidently inhaled a foul stench that seemed to be what a full group of cows who had eaten nothing but beans the previous day would smell like. “Sorry, Big sis, it would’ve been bigger, had I known you were coming.” She said winking at her. Berry chuckled, “Poor form, Seed. Remember what Mom always said, make sure you’ve always got a big one left in the tank.”
Berry bent over and once again,

(PRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOMMMMPPPPPTTTTTTT!)

“And that’s how you do it.” Berry said smugly. Seed fanned her face. “Heh, eggs as always, Berry?” “You know it, little one.” Berry responded. “So these are your sisters, Berry?” Nacho asked. “We sure are!” Citrus responded. Then she paused for a moment. “Hey wait… who is this, Berry? Your girlfriend? I thought you were going to start dating boys again.” Citrus laughed. Berry and Nacho practically turned into beets. “NO! S-SHUT UP! SHE’S JUST A FRIEND! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME!?” “Oh really? Just a friend? Is this true, Mouse girl?” Citrus asked. Nacho mumbled something, but not only was it hard to hear, it devolved into gibberish after a couple seconds. “Nacho?... Are you okay?” Berry asked. Nacho nodded and remained quiet. Inside she was jumping for joy at this new information.

“Seed, ya need ta stop running ahead a’ me. Ah can’t run that fast ya know.” A thick (yet clearly fake) Irish accent came from behind Seed. “Hey, I know that voice. Crunchy?” Berry asked. “Ah! It’s Miss B! Ah haven’t seen ye in a while.”
Crunchy, the hungriest fox-girl in existence and one out of two of Seed’s best friends, appeared. Berry had a strange expression on her face. “Are you… a pumpkin?” Berry said staring intently at Crunchy whose costume was a giant pumpkin with the top of it acting as a hat. “Yup… it was hard eating the whole thing but I did it!” Crunchy smiled proudly. “Um… why didn’t you buy a costume?” Berry asked confusedly. “So we could be twinsies!” Seed said as she gestured at her costume which was a giant gourd that had also been eaten hollow. “Seed, Ah keep tellin’ yeh, we don’t look anything like each other with these.” “Well the important thing is that you look delicious, Crunchy.” “Hmm… so that’s what irony feels like…” Crunchy said to herself.

“Where’s your costume, Citrus?” Berry asked. “I’m going as myself, to teach children to always-” “That’s stupid…” Berry interrupted. “YOU’RE STUPID!” Citrus snapped back. “So we all got the same invitation?” Seed asked. “Seems like it.” Citrus answered. “Wait… Big sis. Where’s your extra per-”

“And she strikes.” A female voice is heard above before dropping onto Citrus. “HEY!” Citrus said falling on the ground. It was revealed to be Citrus’ best friend and resident skunkoon, Spacey Scavenge. “You failed to dodge, you don’t get any of my candy.” Spacey said as she smirked. Citrus got up. “I don’t care! I told you not to wear that!” She pointed to Spacey’s costume which was the same as Jade’s from Mortal Kombat… I’d rather not explain… just google search it…

“I mean look, you’re giving poor Nacho a nosebleed from fear or something.” Citrus continued. Nacho had blood gushing from her nose as she tried to repress thoughts of Berry wearing that.
“It’s too late, Ms. No costume. Let’s just go to the party.” Spacey said already running ahead. Citrus just sighed and followed.

After reaching and knocking on the door, they were greeted by a girl wearing a Zero-Suit Samus Costume. “Hi, Welcome to-” Nacho then fainted from blood loss. “Uh… Is she going to be okay?” The girl asked. Berry slung her over her shoulders. “Don’t worry, it’s this condition she has, I think…” She told her. “Okay, then… My name is Elise, welcome to the party. I like your costumes, by the way.” She began listing them off. “Tetra, Roxie, A gourd, a pumpkin, Jade, and…”

She stopped at Citrus. “What are you supposed to be?” Citrus smiled, “Glad you asked, I’m going as myself to teach children they should always-” “That’s kind of boring, but come in anyway.” Elise interrupted. Citrus sighed once again. The first thing Berry saw was a neko girl dressed as Link, though a bit more… revealing and a dog boy dressed as Team Fortress 2’s Demoman, around a television, playing something she’s had her eyes on for a while. “Oof!” Nacho groaned from Berry unintentionally dropping her on the floor.

“Anyway,” Elise continued. “You can go over to Spartagirl if you have any questions.” She pointed to a girl in a Princess Peach costume who was sprucing things up a bit, she stood next to another neko girl wearing a costume akin to Ashley from Warioware. “So just enjoy yourselves and… Hey, where’s Tetra?” She asked. “THREE PLAYER MODE ME, PLEASE!!!” Berry yelled as she jumped into the circle landing on top of the dog boy, causing the Neko girl to laugh.

Fortunately for her, this caused the Neko girl to have enough time to use Kirby’s rock move, knock the smash ball out the dog boy’s character Little Mac get it herself, and use Ultra Sword to finish him off. “THE WINNER IS KIRBY!” The announcer… announced. “Hey! I was about to become Giga Mac… *sigh* Guess I should’ve seen this coming.” He said. “Told you, Kirby all the way!” The neko girl gloated. “So now that you are all finished…” Berry took a deep breath. “TOON LINK TIME!” She yelled incredibly loudly as the three went back to the character select screen.

“Well… that was quick…” Seed said. “It kinda smells weird in here…” Citrus said. “That’s the natural scent of the party!” Spacey exclaimed.

(FRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPTTT!)

“And… there goes the febreeze.” Spartagirl commented as a sound that could probably scare off a Wooly mammoth came out of the gas mine that was Spacey’s backside. “Make way, snack table horder!” Crunchy said ignoring the new smell and rushing through to the snack table knocking over a lot of people in the process. “Save some for me!” Seed followed her through the path she just made. “As for me… I will go and continue my quest to make the house smell good for guests.” Spacey said running off to who knows where.

Citrus glanced at Spartagirl and the neko girl, who glanced back. “Why don’t you have a costume?” Spartagirl asked. “Well I don’t have one because I’m teaching kids the lesson that you should always… and you two don’t care, do you?” “Not really…” The two replied. “If anyone needs me I’ll be at the party store…” Citrus sighs one last time as she leaves.
