Pat: My first SSBB fanfic! Hope its okay…
Lucario
sighed. He missed someone. That someone had been the only person he
had trusted, and now... Now, he was gone….
Dead.
Sighing
again, Lucario stared up at the midnight sky. It was beautiful. Stars
scattered around the sky in a quite nice formation. It almost formed
an image...
"Master..."
"Ah! I'm so tired!"
An angel sighed, walking into the forest. "But I can't miss
tonight! It's my favorite time of the year!" The angel, known
amongst others as Pit, giggled, feeling giddy. It was the one night
that was special to him in a most peculiar way. It was the
anniversary of the day Medusa had been defeated, freeing every angel,
Pit included, from misery. It was bright out in the moonlight. Stars
scattered, forming a unique picture... One that a certain jackal-like
creature stared at intently, eyes watery. It surprised Pit greatly.
He hadn't expected anyone being here, as it was a well hidden spot,
one that rarely any took interest in, mind the few full of
curiosity.
"Hello?" Pit called out, looking hopefully at
the wolf. Since he was new here, he didn't really know anybody here,
other than the legendary brawlers.
The creature immediately
defended, the shield around it slowly shrinking.
"Hey, don't
worry! I won't hurt you."
Silence greeted him.
"You
know," Pit started, staring at the now-marble-sized shield, "Red
-you know, that Pokemon trainer? - Once told me that if you hold up
your shield for too long-"
DOING!
"-that'll
happen."
The jackal groaned, trying to stay on its feet,
having a hard time doing so with a concussion, courtesy of his
now-shattered shield attack. Pit warily held onto the Pokemon, trying
to help steady him. After a while, Lucario gained his balance,
standing up cautiously. Like Pit, Lucario was also a newcomer, used
to fighting, yet not knowing a thing about brawling, or the brawlers
already there. "Thanks..." Lucario muttered under his
breath, enough for the angel to hear. "No problem! I'm Pit!"
The cherub smiled brightly, extending a hand out towards Lucario.
"And you? What's your name?" Lucario pondered on why this
human was helping him, at the same time, sensing something... Strange
with this character. After a quick glance at the angel's smiling
face, deeming he was kind enough, Lucario accepted the outstretched
hand, shaking it gently. "I am known as Lucario, the Aura
Pokemon." Pit startled. "You're a Pokemon? But you're
almost as tall as me! And you seem really intelligent, too! I don't
mean to say others are stupid; they're just not as bright as others.
Uh, I mean, I don't mean the others aren't smart, or anything, but I
just...-Sigh- And there I go, sticking my foot in my mouth. I should
really stop talking." Lucario nodded, looking a bit confused.
Pit shrugged it off.
"So, what were you doing out here,
anyway? Not many people, let alone animals, come here. It depresses
me, really." Lucario nodded again, his eyes, unknown to him,
watering. Pit seemed a bit panicked at this.
"D-did I ask
something bad?" The angel asked timidly, wings raised a bit.
Lucario shook his head. "No. I was just thinking... About better
times... Ones I'd like to spend..." With
Master,
Lucario finished the thought, looking up at the sky. Pit nodded, also
looking up. "I understand. Separation from ones we love... It's
painful." Lucario nodded, tears streaming down his face, again,
the wolf never noticing it. "Master was a kindly soul... Loyal
to us all until the end..." Lucario sighed, ears drooping,
walking away from the angel. "Uh... Hey! Wait up!" Pit
cried, flying over towards the jackal, surprising him, until he saw
Pit's wings. That's
why I felt a strange aura emanated from him! Lucario
thought, tears still streaming down his face. "Hey, are you all
right?" Pit asked, noting the tears. Lucario just squeezing his
eyes shut, clutching at his chest, before falling to his knees,
full-out sobbing. Pit embraced the saddened jackal, rubbing his back,
Lucario's face resting on the other's chest. "He... He
sacrificed himself for us... For Lady Rin, for the kingdom... And
me... Why? He could have decided to go against it! He could have
lived, or at least let me help him, not... Not just stuck in a stupid
sealing staff, unable to do anything at all!" Lucario cried, Pit
comforting him still. "I know what it's like to lose loved
ones... They die, protecting you, one way or another." Pit
started, Lucario listening intently. "But the thing to
remember... It is the time you spent with them, their personality,
qualities... What they were like, beginning to end. Memories may not
last long, but you must cherish them whilst they last. Don't ponder
the 'What ifs', the 'Buts'. Remember their quirks, their goals, what
they had done, and try to honor their memories and goals in life by
living each day to the fullest. Then, and only then, will you truly
be happy." Pit finished, smiling at the jackal, who was close to
falling asleep. Nodding, Lucario looked up at angel, ruby eyes
staring at cerulean ones. "Thanks... So much..." Ruby eyes
closed, the other fast asleep. Pit smiled. "'Night, Lucario,"
4 months later...
"Pit!"
Pit started,
turning towards the direction of the smiling jackal. "I want you
to know... That what you said to me was so true, on so many aspects,
and, it helped me a lot. So," Lucario looked straight at Pit,
face pink. "What I'm trying to say, is um... Well, I, um... You
can tell I was never good at apologizes or thank-you's, can'1
you?" Pit smiled. "You're welcome." Lucario sighed
in relief, smiling as well.
And that is how Pit and Lucario came
to be the best of friends.
