Master Hand decided to hold a welcoming party for Aoi that night. Balloons were set everywhere. Refreshments at the large table. The party hall was so beautiful. Marth and Pit helped dress Aoi for the party.

Aoi was sitting on a lavender ornate chair in the Dressing Room. He was wearing a blue tuxedo with a brown belt and brown boots. As Marth fixed his boots and Pit fixed his outfit, Aoi looked at himself through the mirror.

It was like another him. He had friends that care for him. "You're almost ready." Pit said happily. "Just one last touch." Marth said and with that, he placed a small crown. "I remember this happened to me." Pit said. Aoi looked at him. "This did happen to you?" Aoi asked to him.

"Yep! Marth also experienced it when he was introduced in Melee." Pit said. Marth nodded. "Wow." Aoi said. "Anyway, you're ready." Marth said. Aoi nodded.

He was then taken to the party hall where everyone was waiting for him. "Please welcome Aoi to the Smash roster!" The announcer said and Aoi entered in the spotlight and everyone cheered. Aoi waved.

He walked around the party hall as music began to play through speakers. It felt like Aoi was a king. As he got a cup of fruit punch, he saw everyone dance. Aoi smiled and drank his punch. He then looked at the disco ball. Everything in the party hall was so beautiful.

As he watched everyone dance, he realized he also knows how to dance. He saw Mario dance with Peach, Luigi dance with Daisy, Link dance with Zelda, all of that. Cloud was the DJ. He turned down the music a bit so no one goes deaf.

Suddenly, Cloud knew the time and stopped the music. It seemed everyone knew because they stopped and made room in the dance floor. "Aoi, please go to the spotlight in the middle of the dance floor." Cloud said through a microphone. Aoi nodded and followed the order. Master Hand came through the large doors. "All ladies line up!" He commanded and the ladies followed the order.

Master Hand then looked at Aoi. "Please select one of the ladies you will dance with." He said. Aoi looked at all the female fighters. Suddenly, he saw a orange Inkling. 'She's just like me...A Inkling...' Aoi thought to himself. He studied her.

This Inkling girl was wearing a orangish cream colored dress with a small crown similar to the one Aoi has on his head. She was wearing orange flats on her feet. Her dress also had a orange sash on it. She was smiling. However, that smile faded and it was replaced it a concerned face. "I'll dance with her." Aoi said and pointed to the Inkling girl.

The spotlight then shined on her as everyone clapped for her. She made a face of relief. She then walked to Aoi. They got in a dancing position and began to dance as Cloud played soft piano music.

As Aoi and Inkiling girl danced, they talked quietly. "What's your name?" Aoi asked to her. "I'm Neroli." She replied. "Nice to meet you, Neroli." Aoi replied and they kept dancing.

After they finished their dance, everybody clapped. Neroli and Aoi smiled.

"Hey, can we meet in your room, Aoi?" Neroli asked to him. He nodded. "Sure." He said.

Neroli and Aoi never felt so happy before in their lives. Aoi the most though.
