Our Training Sessions
"Who keeps walking past the door every night at two in the morning?"
Ike tossed and turned angrily in his bed, mumbling to himself. Because he's such a light sleeper, Ike always managed to wake up to even the softest footsteps outside his door. Every night for the past few weeks, someone had been passing by his room door. He hasn't got the slightest clue as to who it is. Done having someone disturb his slumber, Ike trudged out of his bed and left the room, following the noise of the footsteps. They seem to be going towards the training arena, Ike observed. Tiptoeing down the hall, careful not to disturb anyone, he made his way to the entrance of the arena. Peering through the doorway, Ike noticed a long, slender body getting ready to train and work out with some of the weights. The body wore a familiar blue, skin tight jumpsuit, and as Ike moved up to see her visibly high ponytail, he noticed Samus.
"What the Hell have you been doing here at two o'clock in the morning?"
Upon hearing a familiar voice, Samus jumped and turned to look at him, obviously annoyed by his presence. "Were you stalking me?"
"You didn't answer the question."
"Why does it concern you?"
"Well you've been waking me up repetitively, so I should hear a good excuse for it," Ike replied, smirking at his quick and smart comeback.
Scowling, Samus put down the weights. "I train for about an hour early in the morning."
"Why at two?"
"Why are you still here?"
Ike laughed, enjoying the moment. He always loved to mess with her, and whenever he had the opportunity, he would seize it. "Fine, fine. I'm sorry for bothering you. I'll go back. Try not to wake me up again, alright?"
"Don't tell me what to do, Ike."
Samus woke up to the sound of her obnoxious alarm clock, which was Peach's bickering and whining. "Sammie, wake up! It's 8:00 AM already!
"I swear Peach, if you keep doing this every morning…"
"Samus, I think it would be wise to wake up," Zelda, her other roommate, chipped in. "I know it's early, but Master Hand made a little breakfast buffet for us down in the Smash hall."
"Yeah Sammie! Let's go I don't want to be late!"
With one last grunt Samus rolled out of her bed and headed to the bathroom. For some odd reason, she was unusually tired. Ike's unnecessary visit threw her workout time off. She looked in the mirror and rolled her eyes. She splashed cool water onto her complexion to wake herself up and quickly brushed her teeth. After, Samus slipped her usual blue jumpsuit on and left the bathroom, still in the process of tying her long golden hair up.
"Alright, let's go!" Peach skipped to the door in her usual optimistic mood and literally flew down the stairs.
Samus and Zelda walked side by side. Zelda was one of Samus's only close friends. She was also close with Peach, but Peach's attitude was so dreadful sometimes that Samus wished she went back to Mushroom Kingdom. Downstairs, a mob of people were talking and socializing in the gathering hall. Because she was rather uncomfortable in larger crowds, Samus broke away from Zelda and went to snatch some food before heading to the barren living room. Getting in the fast moving line for the buffet, she grabbed a small portion of eggs and bacon, along with a peeled orange and apple juice. Breaking away from the mass of bodies, Samus headed towards to the living room.
"Fancy seeing you this morning."
"Ike? Why are you in here?" Just like that, her precious morning crumbled. "Shouldn't you be with Marth or Link?"
He responded with his familiar chuckle, something Samus loathed. "I wanted to have some alone time, but I guess that's over now that you're here."
"Great, you're alone time's over. Now get out."
"But why? I mean, I was here first."
"I want to eat in peace."
"You won't even know I'm here." Ike kicked his feet up, placed them onto the table and smiled, revealing his shiny white teeth.
Defeated yet again, Samus reluctantly sat down and began eating her meal in the awkward silence. Why did he always have to bother me? Only me…
"How was your little workout?"
"I thought you were pretending to not be here."
He shrugged and smirked. "I guess I just wanted to break the silence. So, you always train that early in the morning? Maybe I should join you tonight."
Samus stopped eating and dropped her fork. "Oh no, you're not doing that. My morning workouts are one of the only moments I have to myself. I don't need anyone ruining it, especially you."
"Why not? Don't you get lonely? Maybe you'll like the idea of a little training partner."
"Oh trust me, I won't."
"I'll see you tonight then, Samus?" He got up and left then room without hearing a response to his question. Samus groaned and got up to throw away her food.
"I've lost my appetite…"
