CHAPTER 1

An overwhelming sense of peace commanded over Skyworld and the Overworld. The trees seemed a bit taller and the grass a greener to most, however Pit had grown accustomed to the comfort. Pit lost count of the days after Hades had been defeated, however he could care less. Looking out over the golden, fluffy clouds, Pit enjoyed the warm breeze rippling through his clothes despite his boredom. The sweet smell of Palutena's cooking danced through the air, causing Pit's stomach to rumble widely. Pit's sky blue eyes gleamed with excitement at the thought of discovering what she had cooked. Every night she surprised him with something different. With swift movements, Pit beat his wings in assistance to help him off the ground, not that he really needed it. Running to the kitchen, Pit smiled before asking,

"What's for dinner tonight Lady Palutena?" Her long green hair was held together with a blue ribbon and while she wore a red apron. Focusing on the stir fry that was before her, Palutena replied,

"Carrots, kale, tofu, and zucchini." Sticking his tongue out in disgust, Pit whined,

"Can't I have something sweeter? Veggies are so plain!"

"Come on now, you want to maintain your body, don't you? We wouldn't want you to be unhealthy now would we?" She smiled warmly.

"I guess not," Pit pouted.

"Eat up now, before it gets cold." Doing as she told he ate the veggies without further complaint. Pit never did anything because he was asked to; he did what she asked because he truly wanted to make her happy and he knew that she only wanted the best for him. Still, something seemed to be on Palutena's mind ever since she was manipulated by the Chaos Kin. She was awfully good at masking her feelings as well as her desires; however, Pit could always tell when something was amiss. Palutena had barely touched the food she cooked. After swallowing a mouthful of veggies Pit asked,

"Is something on your mind Lady Palutena?" Of course he never expected a real answer from her; she never really opened up to him. Her trance broken, Palutena smiled her usual grin and spoke,

"Of course not Pit, don't worry so much." There it is again, the same old response. Heaving a great sigh, Pit slowly replied,

"Okay… You know you can always tell me what's on your mind. I'm a good listener! And I can give good advice sometimes! Oh! Also I give great hugs!" Standing up from his seat with excitement, Pit gave a great big smile. Palutena's soft hand touched Pit's shoulder lightly as she gently spoke,

"No, no, Pit. I'm fine, really." Plastering on a smile, she grabbed his empty bowl and bussed it.

"Get some rest, I have a mission for you tomorrow." Slightly disappointed in her answer, Pit soon fluttered his wings with excitement once more.

"A mission?! What is it?"

"You are to go to the Overworld and check on the humans." Pit's wings fell, truly he expected something more. Ever since the thrill of defeating Hades, simply living in peace was overwhelmingly dull.

"Oh. I see." Turning around, Palutena asked,

"What is it?" Crossing his legs on the stool Pit rested his heavy head on his hand.

"Watching over the humans is so boring though! They haven't done much of anything."

"Still," She spoke a bit more sternly, "It is important to maintain a connection with the people." Rolling his eyes, Pit sighed,

"You're right." Perking up once more Pit had risen slowly and stretched before giving Palutena a hug. "Nighty Night! And don't let the Mik bite!" Palutena laughed along before hugging Pit tightly and sweetly replying, "Goodnight Pit, sweet dreams." Grinning his 10,000 watt grin, Pit was off to bed. Jumping to a few platforms away, and flapping his wings to acquire extra air, he found his canopy bed among the stars. Staring up endlessly, the whole universe reflected in his eyes, he kicked off his boots and removed his toga. The warm covers surrounding him, softly he spoke, "Why does evil exist? It's so easy to be kind.. Perhaps it's to entertain people like me.." Thoughts often swirled around in Pit's head before he finally drifted off to sleep. Many of those thoughts regarded humans and why so many of them were unkind to one another. More often than not, he thought extensively about Palutena. For years he had devoted himself to her, serving her every need and desire. Did she truly feel the way he felt about her? Was she committed to him as he was to her?

After cleaning the rest of the kitchen, Palutena sighed a heavy sigh before she walked a few doors down and a few halls across. Removing her jewelry, she climbed into bed, many thoughts buzzing around inside her mind. Can he ever forgive me for what I've said and done? He deserves to know the truth… Nuzzling her face into a pillow, she tried to remove the thought from her mind. What about his past? Do I dare cloud his clear conscious?
