Update and a story

Hey all! How are you? I hope you all are feeling well cuz I’m not. I have a sore throat and buzzy ears. But enough about me for I have a story for you all! Now this is going to take some explaining. There is one game me and Ashoka looooove to play on our Wii. It’s called Super Smash Bro’s Brawl.

Our favorite characters from it are Prince Marth, Ike, Lord Roy and Link. 
Marth, Ike and Roy are from the game Fire Emblem. Link is from Legend of Zelda.

I came up with a story about the four of them on a rode trip and the funny things that happen to them. To better understand the story here is a description of each characters personality.



Prince Marth is my favorite characters (besides Link). He is the Prince of Althea in the Fire Emblem games. I see him as being very classy. Someone who loves books, cooking, the arts and classical music. He is deep and emotional, some would say broody. But he still knows how to let go and have a good time. Here is a description from the SmashWiki: The prince of Altea, in whose veins the blood of heroes runs. He and a small group of stalwarts fought to free Altea after it was invaded by the kingdom of Doluna and the dark dragon, Medeus. With his divine sword, Falchion, he fought and defeated Medeus. However, Altea was then invaded by King Hardin of Akaneia and eventually destroyed.



Ike is a cool guy. Very commanding but at the same time laid back and calm. He like his music, quiet time and a good battle. He is often in the background but everyone can rely on him to back them up. Here is his description from SmashWiki: A member of Crimea's top fighting force, the Greil Mercenaries. He's a man of few words whose blunt manner gives the impression that he's uncaring, but he's actually a passionate hero. He was crucial to the reconstruction of Crimea. In Radiant Dawn, he continues to show his deep sense of honor and leads the Greil Mercenaries to the aid of the Laguz Alliance.

Now, there are actually two SSBB games. The is the regular one and then there is SSBB Melee. Melee was released first and had different characters that the newer one. Roy is one of the characters that is in Melee but not SSBB. Here is a photo of SSBB Melee.



And here is one of SSBB.



See the deferents? I have not played Melee but I think I would still prefer SSBB.



Roy is about as crazy as they come. A pyro maniac and a goofball, you can bet he will be the life of the party. Being the youngest of the guys (he’s only 15), he is a bit immature and silly. But he is kind and loving and a good friend. When he’s not playing pranks on you. lol Roy’s description: The son of the lord of Pharae Principality, Roy was studying in Ostia when the Kingdom of Bern invaded League of Lycia. His father fell ill at this time, so Roy assumed lordship of Pharae's armies. After his fateful meeting with the Princess Guinevere, his destiny became inextricably linked with the fate of the entire continent.



Link is a hero and a sweetheart. He is fun and carefree. (often being Roy’s partner in crime.) Passionate and caring, as well a being a bit silly. He will do anything to save his friends. Link’s description: A young man who emerged to rescue Hyrule from peril. He's the bearer of the Triforce of Courage who fights to keep Ganondorf from conquering the world. His green outfit is a constant throughout the series. He's a skilled swordsman, horseman, and archer. He's also proficient with bombs and boomerangs.

*whew!* That was a mouthful. Now onto the story. They will be a collections of short story’s of the guys adventures while on a rode trip. Here is part one, I will be writing more soon. Thanks for reading and enjoy! Have a great week everyone!

Rode trip with Marth, Ike, Roy and Link.


Part one:

It was Marth’s turn to drive. Ike had called shotgun as soon as he found out he would not be driving. (Roy was pretty sore about that one)
Link had his DS out and was playing Spore.
So that left Roy alone and bored.
That is never a good thing.
“I’m bored!”
“Well, then find something to do.” Ike said over his shoulder.
“But I have nothing to do.”
“Oh well. Your loss.”
By now Roy was sulking. He looked over at Link. He was so pulled into his game that Donkey Kong could have picked up the car and he would not have noticed. His eyes where glued to the screen and was playing like a madman.
Roy had his own player but had insisted that he had played all the games a hundred time over. So he sat there looking out the window, not really seeing the scenery that was flying buy.
Looking at Link again he noticed a small bit of hair sticking up from the top of his head. It looked really out of place Roy thought. So very quietly, very slowly, he reached over and pinched the hair between his first finger and thumb.
And then he pulled.
“OOOOWWW!!!!!! ROY! You pulled my hair!!”
“It was sticking out of place. I was doing you a favor.”
“By hurting me? You little jerk! That was so mean, I’m telling on you. Maaaarth, he pulled my hair!”
“Did not!”
“Did to!”
“Did not!”
“DID TO!!!”
“Enough!” Marth said. “I don’t want to hear anymore about it. Roy, say you are sorry.”
“But I didn’t do it to hurt him.”
“I don’t care, you still need to apologize.”
“Yeah, say your sorry.” Link said, glaring at Roy with a smirk on his face. Roy glared back.
“Tell you what, how about I hurt you for real.”
And with that he lunged at Link bating away his DS and grabbing a fist full of hair as well as his right wrist, pining Link down.
“Hey! Stop it you creep!” Link replied while kicking his feet out to stop Roy and smacking the side of his head with his free hand. Ike rolled his eyes and ignored them. Marth gritted his teeth.
“Stop it now guys.”
“He started it!” Link called out in-between slaps and hits.
“I do not care who started it, because if you to don’t stop right now I will finish it.”
His words had no affect. The fighting continued like he had never said anything. Marth sighed and turned to Ike.
“What are we going to do with them?”
“Well, we could yell and scream at them for hours on end with no end results or join the fight ourselves but that wouldn’t work either. Oh, there is the option of stopping and leave them at Aunt Fanny’s house.”
Both Link and Roy instantly stopped fighting and looked at Ike with a look of absolute horror. Roy climbed of Link and sat back in his seat. Then he picked up Link’s DS and handed it to him.
“Here you go. Sorry about puling you hair.”
“Thanks. And I forgive you.”
It was silent for a few seconds.
“Who is Aunt Fanny?” Marth inquired curiously.
“My aunt on my mothers side.” Ike replied in a very casual manner.
“So are they scared of her?”
“You have no idea what she’s like!” Roy said, a tremor in his voice.
“She likes to make us clothing and dress us up like, like… little boys.” Link chimed in. Roy suppressed a shutter.
“Well, we know how to get you two of you to behave now.” Marth said, a smile lighting up his face.
“I don’t like that look of yours.” Ike said warily.
“Oh, I am just starting to like this Aunt Fanny more and more."
Roy and Link where silent as the grave.
And they didn’t fight with each other for a long time.

Lego Address Labels

I love Legos and I thought it would be cool to make address labels. I tried a few ideas for the photo and this is was I came up with.
I went into Lego Digital Creator and put a single 4x2 brick on the screen and then I took a screenshot. (go up to Tool Box and select Take a Schreenshot. It will save it to your pictures.)

Then I took it to Picnik and put the words on it. You could also use Photoshop if you wanted to. Then you print it up and tape it to your package or print it on sticker paper then put it on. Here are a few samples I made… (I came up with the address’s).
 




 

And then I got a photo of a brick from some building instructions and used that.
 

 
So, which do you like better? I like the first one’s best. Have a great week everyone!

To go with it I made a sandcrawler out of a cardboard box. So when I gave it to her I put the Jawa in the sandcrawler and I played the music from the scene with the Jawas in Star Wars: A New Hope. I rolled the sandcrawler around the corner of the door and up to Ashoka, then she had to open it. Least to say she was thrilled! I loooved seeing the look on her face, especially when I first started the music and she was like “What“? lol But really ever valentines day is my favorite!

I would like to thank EVERYONE who entered in my first giveaway on my new blog. I loved hearing your wonderful valentines memories and thank you for the kind words! Here are some of my favorite comments.


“My favorite Valentine memory is of when I was 18 and made a huge, huge cookie for my boyfriend. It was in the shape of a heart and filled the entire cookie sheet. I decorated it with frosting and walnuts and chocolate chips and coconut. It was a huge hit! And a few years later I married the boyfriend. :D” ~LaTeaDah (This is my favorite!♥)



“What a lovely and charming giveaway! Everything is so divine. :) Our tradition: My husband and I always like to go out to the movies (this year it shall be "Valentine's Day") and dinner. We both LOVE Indian food, and that is where we shall go. Can't wait. He usually gives me flowers each year, but I prefer a red mix of lovelies and not just roses. I always buy him a box of chocolates (with nuts, his favorite).
Most sincerely, Theresa”


“My favorite Valentine memories are with my children, baking heart shaped sugar cookies. The kids loved to pour on the sprinkles and dip fingers in the frosting.
Happy Valentine's Day, Auberne.” ~Jody


Thanks again! Happy valentines day from Chris, Edward, Link, Brandon and me! Have a wonderful day!
