The brown-haired angel adjusted a couple of strings on the worn guitar. He gently started to strum. The first few notes of "Boston" by Augustana wafted through the empty music room. The angelic captain cleared his throat.
"In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh, it has begun. Oh dear you look so lost. Eyes are red, and tears are shed. The world you must have crossed, you said, you don't know me and you don't even care, oh yeah. She said, you don't know me, and you don't wear my chains, oh yeah."
Pit put the sighed and put the guitar down. He wasn't in the mood for music at the moment.
Ever since he joined the brawl and moved in to the mansion three days ago, he'd been feeling really lonely. Looking like a 15 or 16 year-old didn't help either. Everybody pretty much ignored him, except for Marth, whom he had befriended. When he tried to join a conversation or formulate an opinion on something in a discussion, it would be dissmissed. I'm 19, for cring out loud! I'm the same age as Zelda, Link, Marth and Ike! I'm not a kid like Ness or Lucas. Oh Paletuna, was I right to accept the offer to join the brawl? He thought, zipping up the guitar case and stashing it in the chest on the far side of the room.
It is a great opportunity. You will survive. Paletuna's voice ringed in his head. He kept silent, opening the door and stepping into the hallway, heading for the dining hall. The sweet smell of food greeted him, even though it was early morning and no one was in sight. He headed for the buffet and shoved some cherries into a bowl. He turned back to the tables. It would be useless for him to wait for the others to wake up. I'll go eat by the lake. he thought decidedly.
Pit travelled through the empty hallways once more and headed out the back door, into the forest. He jumped up and took flight high above the trees, making sure not to stay in the air more than five minutes at a time. Soon he reached the lake. He landed softly on the rock near the shore and plopped a cherry in his mouth. A dove gently landed on the rock before him, and Pit threw it a cherry, which it grabbed eagerly and returned to the trees. The angel continued eating the fruit slowly, watching the sunrise, when suddenly, there was a loud snap! behind him. He turned around swiftly, mentally cursing the fact that he had not brought his weapon or battle attire. His white tank top and grey soccer shorts wouldn't help him against a foe. But to his suprise, Pikachu bounded out of the trees, followed by Samus, clad in her zero suit.
"Hello, Pit. Master Hand wants you for a brawl against Meta Knight." Samus said, stopping at the foot of his rock.
"Okay. See ya." Pit muttered before taking flight once again.
Samus climbed up the rock where Pit had been sitting and ate a cherry. Meanwhile Pikachu was sliding down the side of the rock repeatedly, unable to reach the top. The bounty hunter looked up at the sunrise.
Pit is definitly once interesting character...
"Nice match." Meta Knight acknoledged, shaking Pit's hand.
"Yeah, it was really close. I'm lucky that bomb-omb spawned." Pit grinned.
"PIT!" yelled Marth as he walked into the room.
"Hey, no need to be so loud, I'm right here!" replied the angel, shaking his head to return his hearing.
"Great match! I was watching from the other room... You're quite good!" Marth exclaimed, glomping his friend and roomate.
"As the captain of the angel guard I'd expect nothing less." agreed Meta Knight. Pit smiled once again.
"Hey, some of the gang are gonna meet up later, probably play capture the flag and some truth or dare? Maybe if they spend more time with you and learn more about you, they'll be more inclined to listen to you. After all, you are nearly a thousand years old..." Marth asked tentatively.
"Sure, I'm up to it, I didn't really get a chance to introduce myself. And I'm only a thousand years old in angel years, time is a different concept in Angel Land. I'm 19 on Earth." Pit replied, nonchalant, shaking the bluette off and heading towards the door.
"DIBS THE SHOWER!" Yelled the Altean prince, jogging to catch up to him. Meta Knight sighed, slowly following them out of the room.
"YOU WILL LOSE! MWHAHAHA!" Ike yelled, tackling Samus to the ground, which in turn sent the blue flag in her hand flying.
"Oh, you will pay, you blue haired freak!" Samus screeched, though with a friendly undertone. She squirmed, trying to break free, which was useless, since Ike had claimed a spot sitting on her back. To Ike's suprise, there was a quick blue flash and the flag Samus had been carrying was gone from it's spot on the ground. Marth stood a short distance away, taunting.
"HAHA, IT WILL BE YOU WHO-" he was abruptly cut off as Pikachu bowled him over, yelling "PIKA PIKAAAAAAA!", while Meta Knight was flying towards the blue base with the opposing red team's flag. He was quickly brought down by Fox, while Pit had taken the flag from Marth and was making a dash towards the red team's base. There was only one player not sitting on an opponent besides Pit; and of course, he was blocking the angel's way. Link smiled mischeviously as the angel came near. Expecting him to fly up above him, the Hylian prepared to jump. Just as he did, however, Pit dropped and slid in between the warrior's legs, sticking his toungue at the swordsman. With one final dash he made it to the base, pumping his fist in the air in victory. The red team cheered for their close win. Everybody stood up from their positions on the grass and straightened out their clothes, which were now dusty and severly grass stained.
Link grabbed the blue flag off of the muddy ground as everybody settled down in a circle for truth or dare. He looked at the brown-haired angel. They had barely spoken three words to each other since they had met, and not even looked at each other more than once. Pit had extremely blue eyes, just like the sky, and Link could see the reflected sunset in them. The captain's brown hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and his majestic wings were slowly flapping, fanning himself out. He sat cross-legged, leaning backwards, enjoying the cool evening. His slender muscles gleamed with sweat as he patted the ground next to him.
"Hey, Link, you can sit here if you want." He offered. For some reason the offer made the blonde swordsman quite happy.
"Sure, who wants to go first?" he asked the group. To everyone's suprise Samus, who normally hated truth or dare, spoke up.
"I will. Pit, truth or dare?"
"Truth." the angel smiled.
"What is it you dislike about being an angel?" Samus asked. Ike raised an eyebrow at her.
"I hate the misconceptions." Pit said, scowling childishly.
"And what might those misconceptions be?" Falco inquired.
"Angels aren't immortal... In Angel Land, time is different, not slower, not faster, but just... different. And physically, we mature slowly. I'm not innocent and pure either, I can swear, I know about 'adult subjects'. I'm only an angel because I have wings and I serve a goddess. Otherwise I'm just like everybody else." the teen shrugged.
"So how old are you?" Falco asked, thinking that the angel captain could be no older than 13.
"Well, on Angel Land I'm 950, and on Earth I'm 19." Falco's eyes widened a little.
"Your turn." Samus yawned.
"Hmm... Marth, truth or dare?"
"... Dare?" the prince replied hesitantly, not sure of what Pit would think up. The latter smiled mischeviously.
"Borrow one of Peach's dresses and wear it from now until the same time tomorrow." Ike and Meta Knight chuckled, Pikachu giggled, and Fox, Falco, Link and Samus were having a full on laugh attack while Peach looked excited. All of the color drained from Marth's face as Peach dragged him off saying something about doing his hair while he was in her room.
"I WILL KILL YOU PIT!" could be heard from the distance as the prince was pulled away by the princess. While he was gone the smashers calmed their laughing down to random fits of quiet giggling until Marth came back with Peach, in a fluffy, sparkly pink dress and matching high heels. Every single member of the group was rolling on the ground in a major laughing fit, while the Altean sat down with a frown.
"You... you look... haha! PRINCESS!" exclaimed Ike in between his laughter. After about ten minutes later the laughing had once again calmed down into quiet fits of giggling.
"Kudos to you, Pit! Why did we never think... haha... of that earlier?" Samus was wiping tears from her eyes.
"Shut up." growled Marth.
"Aww, is the poor wittle pwincess upset?" Ike teased, pinching Marth's cheek, which earned another giggle fit from everyone and another "Shut up!" from the bluette in a dress.
"It's your turn, Princess." Link said, which made the bluette growl.
"Okay, so this one is for the entire group. Truth or dare?" he asked.
"Might as well be safe and pick truth..." said Fox. "He could dare us to go dress shopping with him!" Everybody erupted in laughter at that statement.
"Well, haha... I agree with Fox... ha!" Samus managed to choke out. The other smashers nodded in agreement.
"Okay." Marth thought for a couple seconds. "Everyone has to go around saying their sexual orientation. Wether it's already known or not." This statement made Link's heart stop. Peach gave him a knowing look. The swordsman sighed inwardly, as he knew she would get him if he lied.
"Straight." Said Fox and Falco at the same time. Ike raised an eyebrow at them.
"You sure? You answered that pretty fast..."
"I have a girlfriend." retorted Fox.
"Fair 'nuff. Straight." Ike replied.
"Straight." chimed Peach.
"Bi, but you already knew." Samus stated as the others nodded.
"Pika!" exclaimed Pikachu.
"Straight." said Meta Knight, who had been quiet most of the game.
"Bi." Pit said. "Angels don't really have a preference." the others nodded in understanding. Link's heart was beating really fast, and he was nervous. He bent his head down and muttered his answer.
"What? I didn't hear that, Link!" Marth said.
"I said..." Link bit his lip in frustrashion. He was going to have to tell them. After all, Pit had said he was bi... "I said I'm gay."
Everybody except for Peach stared at Link, theirs eyes wide and mouths agape.
"Wow... w-woulda never guessed..." stuttered Marth.
"Well, now that this truth is answered, who'se turn is it going to be?" Pit asked, saving Link from the awkward situation.
The game continued on normally until about midnight, when everyone started walking to the Smash Mansion, except for Pit and Link.
"Thanks for saving my butt back there..." Link said shyly.
"It's fine. No worries." Pit smiled, which comforted Link and made butterflies flutter in his stomach. The swordsman smiled.
The angel's heart was beating a mile a minute. Link's blond hair was being pushed into his face by the cool breeze. His azure eyes reflected the stars. His lean, muscular body was shown off by the grey t-shirt and forest green shorts he was wearing, and the earrings that tipped his perfectly pointed ears shone in the moonlight.
"YOU GUYS COMING OR WHAT?" yelled Ike from the mansion's door. Peach elbowed him in the ribs.
"OW! What was that for?" the warrior exclaimed.
"You idiot! They were having a moment..." Peach glared at the bluette.
"Sorry, sorry... They're coming back anyways, so it's too late now."
"Whatever, let's go inside..." the pink clad princess turned angrily back inside the mansion while Ike followed, keeping his distance in case the princess felt like hitting him again.
Author's Note: Hey guys ;) First chapter! This was originally a PitxSamus, but I fell in love with PitxLink and PitxMarth halfway through, so Marth, Pit and Samus are just friends c:
Anyway, R&R, and if you want to flame, go ahead. I really couldn't care less.
EDIT (09/15/10): First off, my siste noticed the lack of a proper disclaimer (I swear I'd put one in...) so here it goes: I own nothing. Second, you may have noticed, but this story is pretty much plotless. It's just a drabble about Pit, Link, their friends and their lives at Smah Mansion. I got a great idea for another story a while back, and I recently found the prologue and chapters I had written for it. So now this fanfic will be updated bi-weekly (maybe longer. It depends). It also doesn't help that U don't have access to a computer during the week. So anyway. If you see any mistakes and such in this story please tell me. And review!
