The Assist Trophy Life

~Prelude~

Shadow woke up to the sound of an alarm clock, interrupting the peace and quiet of his apartment.

"Stupid alarm clock." The black and red streaked hedgehog jerked out of bed and flung one of his Chaos Spear energy blasts at it, obliterating the beeping noise and making the alarm clock explode.

Not that the explosion would wake someone up, anyways.

"Hey! That was for me, edgehog!" Waluigi, his "roomate", shouted as he jumped out of his bed and grabbed his hat, trying to stamp out the flames caused by the explosion with his hat.

"Like mama-mia, man!" The purple overall clad italian replied with an irritated tone to his voice.

"Well, I'm sorry that Waluigi can't get a job and work at least 5 days a week and help me pay my rent." The dark hedgehog replied, getting up, and walking out of the room.

"Hey- Where do you think you're-a going?!"

There was no response.

Waluigi groaned, shaking his head, putting his hat on, and walking out of the room to see Shadow grabbing a packet of Top Ramen, and raising it up with his palm.

"It all starts with this... A packet containing the ultimate flavor..."

"Shadow, I never knew you liked Top Ramen." Waluigi commented, hovering over his shoulder.

Shadow gulped, and dropped the packet of noodles, which made a loud crunch sound. He sighed, looking down at the packet of Top Ramen.

"Oh, come on. What's wrong, Shadow? Is it the Assist Trophy thing again?"

Shadow closed his eyes, nodding.

"Look, we'll be in next time, I promise!" Waluigi insisted, using the same sentence he usually does to comfort Shadow.

"We've been denied, twice! How are we going to make it in next time?!" Shadow replied, slamming his fist onto the counter.

"Well, this time, we've got nothing to lose! Our friend Little Mac was an assist trophy, and look where he is... Now..." Waluigi sighed, realizing what he had just said.

This angered Shadow, but he chose not to lash out, seeing as he would be acting upon his jealously for the fighter mentioned by his roomate.

"You're right. We might not be in the roster anytime soon, but we will, eventually, I hope."

"That's the spirit." Waluigi responded, patting the hedgehog on the back, realizing he just poked his entire hand on his back spines, and had to suffer the pain of hundreds of furry needles impaling his hand.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
