So Popo had decided to take the suggestion to talk to Leaf, and calm his nerves. He took a deep breath in... then out. With that, he walked up to the Pokemon trainer. "H-hey! What'cha up to?" Minor stuttering aside, he actually managed to not embarrass himself too much.
Leaf had been trying to clean out her bag. And…oh boy, was it a mess. There were Tms strewn about, Pokeballs scattered everywhere, and her medical items were just…in a pile in the center. She seemed a bit frustrated, but she lifted her head up to look at the Ice Climber. She gives him a gentle smile. “Not much, just…making a mess, per usual.”She laughs a little bit, though it’s embarrassed.“What’s up with you?”
“Wow!! That’s gotta be some tough figuring out. Probably have to do stuff on the fly too, right?” She casts her gaze back down to the items around her, letting out a soft huff. This was…going to take forever… But, no sense in pouting about it. She gets to work on it right away!! Picking up the TMs first, and putting them back into their case. “I don’t think I’d ever be able to do that! Not…well, at least. And especially not without my team of Pokemon. Now that’d be a trick.” She giggles a little bit, keeping her eyes down at the task at hand.
“Well we’ve had plenty of years to practice our planning. Many injuries aside, I’m just glad I don’t have to do it alone.” Popo was always thankful he had his sister...and that she knew how to tend wounds.
After Popo stopped contemplating his escapades he took another look at bunches of item everywhere. Maybe Leaf shouldn’t have to do this alone either.
“Say? You want some help with this Item hurricane you’ve got going on here? You look like you could use a hand.”
“I really wanna try climbing the mountains in that new Link’s world! Those look really exciting! You know?”
If Popo could face his fears, then Nana could face hers. With as confident of a face she could muster, she went up to the cat-eyed swordsman and smiled. "Heya Link! Has er... anything interesting been going on with you recently?" Nana asked, her confident smile somehow holding up.
Toon Link’s still a bit grumpy from the whole Ganondorf fiasco, but the young hero perks up with a smile at the sight of his friend. “‘Hoy there, Nana!” He’s happy to see her and Popo back in the tournament– they were some of the first fighters to welcome him when he joined Brawl, after all!
He tilts his head to the side at her question, thinking. “Ohh, uh…I had a sleepover with Young Link, Leaf showed me how to ride her bike, Dark Pit nailed me with a water balloon, and…” He shrugs after a moment. “That’s it. How 'bout you?”
Sleepovers? Water balloons?....A bike is like that thing Wario uses right? Nana wasn’t entirely sure, but it seems like Toon Link has had a somewhat of an eventful time recently.
“Oh! That’s quite a bit huh? Well for me...I guess my brother briefly started acting like a brooding dork, but besides that, it’s mostly just been my usual mountain climbing stuff.” Nana kinda felt her recent events were nowhere near as interesting as what went on with Toon Link.
(I wanna keep going! But I gotta sleep. Bleh)

Oh wow! That was a ton of stuff. He never realized how many items a trainer had to carry around. All those Pokeball things, some kind of spay stuff...And what even were all those disks for? Popo thought on that for a second, and realized that it probably wasn’t time to daydream. Especially not when someone sends a question back at you.
“Oh! I’ve uh... just been planning out tactics with my sister on how we’re gonna scale our next mountain. Apparently The Nitpickers and Polar Bears are very aggressive on this one, so we’ve gotta be careful!”
When it came to the topic of ice climbing, Popo had no problem jumping in with no nervousness.
And while we're at it...Nana, you should talk to Toon Link too!
“What!”
“Nana, If I’m gonna go up and face my fears...You should too.”
“But I-I..”
“...”
“Oh...Fine I guess.”
Hmm...Well, I don't think anyone's gonna tell her if they haven't done so yet. Why don't you go and talk to her? Maybe that'll help your nerves a bit!
“...” Popo turns to Nana who simply gives him a single nod.
“...Alright. I guess I’ll give it a shot.”
Aw, Popo, what's wrong...? You don't have to go through this alone, y'know.
“...I...”
“Popo...Please! Just tell me what’s wrong! You can’t keep doing this silent thing you do!”
“It’s just....Nana...I wish i never opened my mouth. I didn’t think about anons... I don’t want her to know about that. I’ve barely even talked to her yet...but I know that an anon is gonna ruin it by telling her. ”
“Okay...Popo... Iunderstand you’re nervous, and I know that anons can be butts..but if something happens...it happens. We can’t really do anything about it, So let’s just hope it doesn’t...okay?”
“I guess...you have a point Nana...not much I can do but hope...I just feel kinda stupid.”
“...” Popo isn’t saying anything. He’s simply got a very unsure look on his face.
What's wrong with Popo?
“Popo is pretending to be in good mood. He’s a terrible liar, so It’s very easy for me to tell he’s faking it...”
“But I can’t get him to talk to me about it.”
“Popo hasn’t been acting like himself lately...I really hope he’s okay.”
“...”
Nana could be found spacing out and just staring at Pit’s wings. The idea of someone just like... having those majestic looking wings on their back was simply amazing! She never got over this in the Brawl tourney, and she still hasn’t...Someone should probably snap her out of it.
“Hey! You!” The mountain climber called out to the blond haired boy.
“You’re Ness’ friend who invents stuff right? What kinda stuff do ya’ make?” Popo was really excited to talk to some one who could MAKE STUFF! Inventors were really cool people in his eyes.
(Like this post for a little starter from one of the siblings.)
🌺 Tell me a preconeption/headcanon you have for one of my characters... 🌺
And I’ll rate how accurate it is on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being way off and 10 being basically canon!
