A Dark Ness Story

The year is 199X...

In Onett, a small town in Eagleland...

Ness's House...

Streamer everywhere. Half-eaten cake. Unwrapped presents and gifts strewn
about. Yes, it was the end of Ness's 14th birthday, and everyone who
showed up is waiting for the greatest present of all: Ness's father.

Ness and Jeff were reading comic books, eating cake, chatting about their
adventure that they had just recently completed, when Ness got up and
stared out the window.

Ness: Dad, I wish you would get here...

Jeff: Hey, don't sweat it Ness. Your father will be here any minute.

Ness: I hope you're right, Jeff...

Ness sat back down and started finishing his cake when Picky and Tracy
came in.

Tracy: Hey big bro, why so down in the dumps?

Picky: Yeah, man, you usually have a big smile on your face...my brother
only had food crumbs on his face.

Ness: Haha...well, I...

DING DONG

Ness & Tracy: DAD! DAD! DAD!

Ness frantically raced Tracy downstairs to the front door. 

Ness: Father?

?: No...

Jeff: Is that you Paula?

Ness: Oh...

Paula: Hello Ness...Jeff...

Ness: Hi.

Jeff: What's up...? 

Picky: Hey Ness, who's that?

Mom: Oh, that's just Ness's girlfriend!

Ness: MOM!!!

Paula: Er...anyway, may I speak to you, Ness?

Jeff: Uh...what about me?

Ness: Yeah, I guess Paula...why are you here?

Paula: Well Ness...

Jeff: WHAT ABOUT ME???

Paula: (giggle) Of course, Jeff.

Paula, Ness & Jeff walked outside. Tracy and Picky hurriedly ran up to
Ness's room to look outside the window to see what was going on (and to
eat Jeff's last piece of cake)

Paula: What I'm about to say isn't easy...but Giygas is still alive.

Jeff: What!? But we defeated him...

Ness: Yeah, the YOU WON! message came up!

Paula: I know...but we have to stop him, and soon...

Jeff: Why?

Paula: Well, when the meteorite fell in Onett, many others fell in the
countrysides...but there was "meteorite" found farther away than the
others.

Ness: And?

Paula: My PSI senses tell me that Giygas was heading towards that
area...why, I don't know, but we must stop him...

Ness: I...I guess I'll get my Gutsy Bat out...

Jeff: Ness, I guess we have to leave now.

Ness: Father...I miss you...why...

Paula: Maybe you'll see your father again someday...but we must disembark
on a second journey!

Ness: Ok...hey, what about Poo?

Paula: I...I haven't been able to sense Poo for a week!
