Hello again, Smash Academy! It's an absolute pleasure to be back.

First, I must extend my apologies to those I may have worried by disappearing unannounced for so long! To put it simply, I had an engagement back in Mushroom Kingdom a few months ago and ended up getting... ah, a little sidetracked.

I can't say I'm surprised to see a few unfamiliar faces around campus since I've been back! So, please allow me to introduce myself! I am Princess Peach Toadstool from the Mushroom Kingdom. Just Peach is fine, though! ♡ It's lovely to have the opportunity to meet all of you! Please, don't hesitate to introduce yourself to me.

Oh, and I've talked some things over with the Headmaster and I'm delighted to announce I've accumulated enough credits to graduate and take a teaching position upon my return! I'll miss having a roommate, but I am looking forward to teaching. I hope to see some of you in my cooking class when I begin!

✨Have a wonderful day, everyone!✨

There was a knock on Peach's door.

Peach darling! It's been simply far too long~! ♥ How have you been?

Madame Flurrie, I couldn't agree more. I'm just fine, thank you so much for asking. How are you?

[She has such a fancy title. Eirika has a hard time imagining herself with a lengthy one like it.

Something else catches her attention, however.]

You are teaching people how to cook?

[That's a thing princesses can do? Because Eirika's never had to cook for herself in her life.]

[With her hands clasped together, Peach replied to the pretty girl on the other end of the video feed with a nod.]

Yes! Ah... I know it may not seem like the most helpful skill for those who are interested in ... fighting. But, really, wouldn't a well-cooked meal just lift your spirits and fill you with strength in the middle of a difficult battle?

Blah blah blah, reading the school network is lame, blah blah blah.

[ihateplumbers]

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Is that.

Watt! Hello! How have you been?

[tattlemethis]

Princess! Welcome back! It's been, like, ages!

[inanothercastle]

Hasn't it? Thank you very much, Goombella. It's really wonderful to be back and to be able to catch up with all my friends again! Speaking of which, how are you?

A NON MARIO APPEARS!

[vela_nova]

A princess...

It's a pleasure to meet you.

GASP.

[inanothercastle]

Oh, it's wonderful to meet you too! Are you a student here, or a fellow staff member?

[rivalsweetscent]

[C O O K I N G C L A S S.]

Ah, welcome back...! Though I don't think we've ever properly met, um. Hello, I'm Bulba!

Do you... entirely mind if staff drops in on your class?

[inanothercastle]

Thank you very much! And it's lovely to finally meet you properly, Bulba. 💕 

I'd have to say that I wouldn't mind in the slightest! Please, come and join us whenever you have the time. Oh, and if you don't mind me asking...! I'm curious; what do you do here at the school?

[travelingbelle]

Oh, hello! It's really nice to meet you... well, sort of, you know. I'm sure we'll meet face to face soon enough! My name's Blue!

[text]

[inanothercastle]

Blue? What a lovely name. Are you a student here? Perhaps I'll see you in my class! Either way, I'm sure we'll meet in person soon, too!

Peach...? By any chance, do you know someone named Daisy?

[inanothercastle]

I do indeed! Princess Daisy is my very best friend! You know her?

[obfuskate]

[ OH LOOK PEACH IT'S A CUTE LITTLE HEDGEHOG. ]

What... happens to the results of your cooking class? The... [ Cough. ] The edible results.

[ JUST. Just wondering. Yeah... ]

[ video ]

[inanothercastle]

[WELL AREN'T YOU ADORABLE...]

Hm? Well, the students and I will be tasting everything we make. And they should feel more than welcome to take home or store anything they're proud of.

If I see enough progress, I'm hoping to put on a bake sale at the end of the semester!

Why do you ask?

[Voice]

[ivantheterrible]

[Now, Ivan would have breezed right past this post if it weren't for one word that caught his eyes...]

Food, huh? What kind of food are you going to make?

[He's interested, to say the least.]

Need any taste testers?

[Voice]

[inanothercastle]

Mmhm. All sorts of food! Although, admittedly, I do have a bit of a bias for sweets...

And of course! You're welcome to stop in and taste any time!

[video]

[star_punched]

...Oh hey, you! You're...Peach right?

Daisy talks a great deal 'bout ya.

Can't believe I waited 'till now to talk to ya actually, hahaha.

[Stupid.]

[video]

[inanothercastle]

That's right!

I take it you're a good friend of Daisy's, then, hm?

[ninjaprincess]

[PEACH]

You're back! And teaching! This is wonderful, Peach!

[inanothercastle]

Zelda! Yes, I'm here! I'm so sorry for leaving without having given you a proper goodbye! 💔 It's wonderful to see you again, though.

[video]

[raw_angel_power]

[DID YOU MISS THIS FACE?? Because there is is, looking WAY TOO EXCITED to see you, Peach.]

Peach! Peach! I'm so glad to see you back! Wow, I can't even remember the last time I saw you in person! It feels like forever.

[video]

[inanothercastle]

Oh, Pit! It's so wonderful to see you again! It has been too long! You were in my thoughts often, of course. How are you?

[will_be_god]

[Cooking class. Cyrus may actually be interested in that. Provided she'll teach about nutrition and balanced diets and the biology of those things, anyway. Cyrus is setting himself up for disappointment.]

I see. Congratulations on your return.

I trust your kingdom is well in your absence.

[inanothercastle]

Of course. I wouldn't feel comfortable returning to the academy if I felt I was needed in my kingdom.

OMG I am the latest ever. [Text]

[trustycrowbar]

[Of course the mention of cooking class perks up the starving grad-student in him. And yes, there is one. It never really goes away after grad school, just slumbers before it rises to feed again. But he can wait to broach the topic, anyway.]

Welcome to the faculty. I'm doctor Gordon Freeman. I'm the new physics teacher.

[New in a relative sense, anyway. He's been here for months...]

IT'S OK, I'M LATE TOO. [Text]

[inanothercastle]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Doctor Freeman. 💝
