Chapter 1 (The Birthday Party):
Its been over a week since i teamed up with 3 friends i never thought i'd make to defeat Giygas. Yeah, its me Ness, a lot has changed since. What? You want to know what has changed?

Well...

All the kids in Onett have been asking for my autograph like i am Venus or a member of the Runaway Five or something. Paula has taught me the PK Telepathy move so i can communicate with her and Poo. I have to teleport to Winters to talk to Jeff since he doesn't have psychic powers like me, Paula or Poo.

I woke up today starting my day with a telepathic message from Poo, in which he telepathically messaged me.

"Hey Ness, hows it going?" Poo said.

"I just woke up..." I said sounding very tired in process.

"Oh sorry!" Poo said.

"Its fine." I said "Now whats up?"

"You know whats up."

"No, i really don't"

"Maybe this will jog your memory."

Poo temporalily put me on hold of the telepathic message. Minutes later he came back with what sounded like cymbals.

Poo started playing the happy birthday song.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday, Dear Ness. Happy Birthday to you!" he said.

"Hey, thanks Poo! I am actually throwing a party! Can you come?" I questioned.

"Not sure but i will see i can make it. What time does it start?" Poo asked.

"1:00" I answered.

"Okay, I will be there!" Poo said.

At 1:00.

Everything was set up for my birthday party. The cake, presents, balloons and all other party related stuff. My mom even made steak, which is my favorite food. Now we must wait for the guests.

Paula arrived first. Then Jeff arrived alongside Dr. Andonuts and Poo arrived shortly after. Now we just had to wait for my dad.

6 hours later.

"Ness, how long until your dad gets here? We been waiting for hours!" Paula said sounding bored.

"Maybe he had to work late? Adults sometimes have to work late right?" Jeff responded.

"True." Poo agreed.

"Patience guys! I know he will arrive i just know it!" I said.

The next day.

"Ness, its no longer your birthday and your dad hasn't showed up!" Jeff said sounding agitated.

"Face it Ness, he is not coming!" Poo said.

"Or maybe he has come to some sort of harm... which calls for another adventure by the chosen 4..." I said.

Chapter 2: A Plan
Chapter 2: A Plan

"So whats the plan fearless leader?" Poo said.

"Honestly i uh... don't exactly have one..." I said scratching the side of my head.

Suddenly my mom told me to check the mail. That made a light bulb appear over my head on the top of my favorite baseball cap.

"Guys! Maybe the mail could give us a clue!" I said.

I exited my house for a split second to grab the mail. Mom had a bunch of bills and so did Tracy since she worked at Escargo Express. 2 letters were addressed to me. One had a red stamp in the middle of the envelope and the other was just plain.

"Read that one first" Jeff said pointing at the one with the red stamp.

I opened the letter up. My friends were hovering over my shoulder as i did so. Suddenly confetti burst out of the letter. One piece got stuck in Jeff's nose, causing him to sneeze.

"I won something? I don't remember partaking in any contest?" I said

"Ness, I don't think you won something, I think you were invited to something!" Paula responded.

I was invited to some tournament called Super Smash Bros.

"I think i will partake in this later." I said, i then opened the other letter.

My friends hovered over my shoulder again. Poo and Paula shared the same confused expression, while Jeff just stared blankly.

I started reading the letter out loud. It was from my dad!

"Dear Ness, I am going to be running late to your birthday party, I had to work late to investigate this place called Magicant. I will arrive when i can!" I said reading the letter.

"Magicant? What's Magicant?" Poo said.

"Remember when I randomly feel asleep when i listened to the sound stone after we collected the 8 melodies? Well, Magicant was the place i went to in my dreams." I answered.

"Good, now we just need the Sound Stone." Jeff said.

"The Sound Stone was too dangerous for anyone, i nearly died in Magicant, so i intrusted Picky to take and protect it. I also told him to not give it to anyone under any circumstances." I said "But it looks like we need it back if we want to save my dad."

Chapter 3: How to "Minch" the Sound Stone

"You trusted Picky?" Jeff questioned.

"Yes, Picky is nothing like his brother" I answered.

We went to the Minch's place. When we arrived, Paula knocked on the door and Mrs. Minch answered it.

"Hello Ness, what brings you and your friends here?" said Mrs. Minch.

"We need to talk to Picky if thats possible." I said.

"Picky is upstairs, you can come in." said Mrs. Minch.

We went upstairs, Picky was playing with action figures of me, my friends, Giygas and Pokey.

"Your time is up, Pokey! PK Starstorm!" Picky said trying to imitate Poo.

"I sound nothing like that." Poo muttered.

Picky noticed me and my friends. So he put down his action figures and looked at us.

"Hey Ness! What brings you here?" Picky asked.

"We are here for the Sound Stone, Picky." I said.

Picky got shocked when he heard "sound stone", so shocked that for a split second his hair sticked up exposing his eyes. Picky shook his head vigorously to fix his hair.

"The Sound Stone? But you told me to not give it to anyone under any circumstances!" Picky said.

"Forget what i said a week ago Picky, we need it." I said.

"Talk to the hand!" Picky said doing the talk to the hand gesture.

"Please Picky!" Paula said giving her best innocent face, me, Jeff and Poo joined her.

Picky looked at our faces and then looked at his action figures, which gave him an idea.

"Okay you 4, i will give you the Sound Stone, but first i will have to put you guys to a test!" Picky said.

"You got a deal, Picky." I said.
 
Chapter 4: Picky's Test
Chapter 4: Picky's Test

"So what is the test, Picky?" I said.

Me, Paula, Jeff, Poo and Picky were sitting on the floor criss-cross applesauce. Picky glared at his action figures.

"If you guys want the Sound Stone that Ness gave me that mysteriously disappeared after Ness listened to the 8 melodies, but it mysteriously reappeared because Buzz Buzz's ghost gave it back, you 4 must re-enact your battle against Giygas." Picky said.

"Um Ness?" Poo said.

"Yeah, Poo?" I responded.

"Even though i should, i remember nothing about our battle with Giygas." Poo answered

"Well, aren't you lucky to have me on the team! I may not be a psychic but i remember everything about the battle!" Jeff said.

"Let the battle commence!" said Picky.

I picked up the figure of me. Paula picked up her figure. Jeff picked up his. Poo picked his up. Picky on the other hand picked up the Giygas figure and put the Pokey one aside.

Jeff said he used a whole bunch of bottle rockets and we kept used PSI. I first did a PSI Rockin and Paula did a PK Fire and Poo did a PK Starstorm. Picky was impressed but thing took a drastic turn when Jeff accidentally knocked the Giygas figure out of Picky's hands.

"Oh my god!" Jeff said putting his hand over his mouth. "I am so sorry Picky!"

"Don't be! That was totally wicked! I will give you guys the Sound Stone now!" Picky responded.

"Clever move, Jeff!" I complimented.

"Thanks Ness!" Jeff replied.

"Here you guys are! I think you need to restore the melodies though." Picky said.

"Thanks Picky!" I said.

"No problem! Also happy belated birthday Ness!" Picky said.

We exited Picky's house and began to restore the 8 melodies.

Chapter 5: Restoring the First Melody

"So what is the landmark we get the first melody from, Ness?" Jeff asked.

"Giant Step and we must defeat a Titanic Ant." I responded.

"Oh fun." Jeff said sarcastically.

As we got to the shack where Giant Step was supposed be and we spelunked the cave.

We defeated a bunch of Antoids and Slugs in the way until we got to the Titanic Ant.

"Prepare to meet your doom Chosen fou-" the Titanic Ant stated.

"We're in bit of a rush so i am going to burn you now." Paula interrupted.

Paula used her PSI Fire on the Titanic Ant thus melting it to a crisp.

We went to Giant Step and recorded the first melody.

"Lets head to Twoson now." I said.

Short and sweet chapter with no quotes

Chapter 6: Twoson's a Crowd

After proving ourselves to Captain Strong we headed to Twoson. I found some Franklin Badges and gave them to Paula, Jeff and Poo. They will come in handy later.

I decided to check out the stores. I retrieved a yo-yo and a teddy bear just to be safe. After talking to Apple Kid he gave me the latest thing he was working on called the Speedrunner that will make us disappear outside of battle for a while. He gave me some more Zombie Paper as well.

We then headed to see Carpainter.
