Yay for me learning to put horizontal rulers. I'm going to TRY to aim for around 2,000 words per chapter. They won't get much shorter than 1,500. That is about my minimum... I probably won't go over 2,500 words. You know, when people say "mid-length chapters", how many words do they usually mean? Because I'm going to try to aim for "mid-length" but I'm not actually sure if 2,000 is "mid-length"...

"The usual, please," Dark (Cherry) Pit casually said to the food stand owner right outside the cave in which he lived. "The usual" was a classic burger and 2 bags of fries. Dark (Cherry) Pit paid up and left.

Dark (Cherry) Pit decided to sit down on a nearby bench that was VERY white, I must add. It was on the edge of a circle-shaped area in the middle of some grass, with 2 paths. One led to the food stand, another led who-knows-where and who-cares-where. The circle had benches all around it, in fact. They were all SICKENINGLY identical.

Dark (Cherry) Pit was just sitting to the side, resting his arm on an armrest (duh) and eating his burger. Of course, juice dribbled down his chin, but he had a napkin to take care of that. He didn't tear into the burger like a savage beast, seeing as he's in public.

Palutena's WORD, this guy is SO… BORING… He's just watching the passersby PASS BY. Where's the fun in that? Just listen to this!

"Another angel… another angel… food stand worker… centurion… Pit?" Dark (Cherry) Pit thought in his head. Wow, something interesting came out of that! There's the white-winged angel we all know and love being eyed by his secret admirer, the black-winged angel we all feel like telling to STAND UP and CONFESS. Then again… Don't we all feel the same way towards (Cherry) Pit?

…Screw you, stupid Cherry Pit. Can't freaking realize that his freaking destiny is freaking looking at him… TOO FREAKING DENSE! Hey, it looks like something caught his eye. Oh, would 'ya look at that? They're staring at each other… not lovingly, sadly… But hey, at least they're blushing. That's good, right? And… no confession. Dang it! #$*!

"…Pittoo?" (Cherry) Pit asked nervously. Dark (Cherry) Pit was doing his best attempt at a glare, but failing miserably. The major blush wasn't helping either, I might say.

"Don't call me that," Dark (Cherry) Pit snapped. (Cherry) Pit gave a sheepish smile.

"Sorry, forced habit."

"Then make it not a habit."

"So where have you been? We invited you to live with us in the temple, right?" It was true, (Cherry) Pit and Palutena invited him to live with them since he had no home to go to, but Dark (Cherry) Pit politely declined the offer for personal reasons. Yeah, not really so personal anymore, it's kinda been revealed to the public with this fanfiction.

"I'd rather not," Dark (Cherry) Pit replied, beginning to feel his heart beat like, more than crazy.

"Why not? It'll be fun!" (Cherry) Pit assured Dark (Cherry) Pit. It was VERY tempting, I mean, why wouldn't he want to live with (Cherry) Pit, the love of his life?

Oh right, he's too much of a scaredy-cat about (Cherry) Pit finding out…

"I just don't want to, that's why not," Dark (Cherry) Pit remarked in a rather harsh tone… OH COME ON, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM? Idiot… Are Dark Cherry Pits stupider than regular Cherry Pits? Probably, it's evident here.

"Come on!"

"Why do you want me to live with you so much, anyway?" Wow, did (Cherry) Pit's blush seriously just get redder? Didn't think that would be possible, but okay!

"B-b-b-because…" He was at a loss for words. On one hand, he could tell him the real reason why. On the other hand, he's a horrible liar, so…

"If there's no reason, forget it." (Cherry) Pit breathed a mental sigh of relief. He wasn't going to have the truth milked out of him, after all. Dark Pit turned to leave, though sorrowfully, I might add.

Line

A few days later, we find Dark (Cherry) Pit sitting in his hole in the side of a cliff, watching passersby pass by (Seriously?), when he notices… An angel! A specific angel! With white wings! And blue eyes! We all know who I'm talking about, right? (CHERRY) PIT! Of course! The love of the angel that is more like some wild savage beast creature when he eats in private.

"Who is that? He… or she, whatever, looks like they're watching me…" (Cherry) Pit thought. You don't SAY? NO DUH… Wow, you're not going to take any interest in this whatsoever? Freaking stupid Cherry Pit…

"Lady Palutena?" Pit thought, trying to send a telepathic message to his beloved Goddess of Light.

"Yes, Pit?" came her reply.

"I think there's someone stalking me while I eat," (Cherry) Pit stated. Never mind, you DID take interest… He WAS eating, in fact. He just didn't know that milk and cereal is not the average person's lunch. I sure wouldn't have it for lunch…

"Oh, but Pit, I'm so comfy right here… I don't want to check who it is! If that's what you're going to ask me, anyways," Palutena whined. Freaking lazy butt gods these days… How the heck are they supposed to watch over and keep balance in the world if they're like this?

"But Lady Palutena…"

"But Pit…"

"Lady Palutena…"

"Pit…"

"Lady Palutena…"

"Pit…"

"Lady Palutena…"

"Pit…"

"Lady Palutena…"

"Pit…"

"Lady Palutena…"

"But Pit, I'm too lazy! Besides, I just got laser eye surgery and was diagnosed with obese obesity!"

"Fine… Could you at least- Wait WHAT?"

"Got you, Mr. Gullible."

"Aw, come on… Could you at least see who it is?"

"Sure, wait… That's exactly what you wanted me to do in the first place!"

"Pwease?"

"Pit, you should know very well that goddesses need their lazy-time."

"Sounds like how girls need their beauty sleep…"

"I'm a special case."

"Pwease?"

"Pit, you need to grow up and learn to be independent."

"Why? It's not like I'll ever stop working for you, anyways, so why bother?"

"…I hate good points like those…"

"Pwease?"

"No."

"Fine…" (Cherry)Pit just decided to go see for himself. He walked over to the bench area, over to the food stand, and up the slope. Meanwhile, Dark (Cherry) Pit was trying desperately to hide in the darkness. He must be awfully bad at it, because (Cherry) Pit took ONE STEP inside the hole in the cliff and said,

"Pittoo?"

"Don't call me that, Pit-stain." The rapid heart-beating and super red blush came back.

"Sorry…" (Cherry) Pit started to blush deeply, too. Not to mention the hyper-sonic heartbeat rate.

"What do you want?"

"Goodness gracious, Pittoo, you look like a cave rat!" Palutena chimed in with her telepathy, "Is this really where you've been for the past week?" Well, I mean, he IS a cave rat, seeing as he freaking lives in a freaking cave… Freaking dense goddesses, these days…

"Don't call me that! And yes, it is. Do you have a problem with it?"

"Didn't we invite you in the temple? It's a lot nicer than THIS…" Palutena replied.

"This place suits me fine, thank you very much." Did his blush seriously get redder? *fangirl squeal*

"Come on!"

"Besides, it's awkward, just having you guys invite me like that."

"How so?" Palutena asked.

"It just is!" If you ask me, Dark (Cherry) Pit is just hopelessly grasping for straws.

"Come on! It'll be fun!" (Cherry) Pit promised.

"No."

"Pwease?" (Cherry) Pit said with puppy-dog eyes and a puppy-dog face. Dark (Cherry) Pit gave a cold stare and then asked,

"Are you guys just going to keep nagging me until I say yes?" (Cherry) Pit and Palutena both said "yes" at the same time. Palutena claimed she just wanted the best for him.

So, in the end, Dark (Cherry) Pit was forced to gather his belongings (he only had a laptop…) and moved in the temple at their constant nagging. Palutena smirked and chuckled under her breath. Her divine plan was already in action.

Dun dun dun… Spoiler: Palutena is getting (Cherry) Pit and Dark (Cherry) Pit together… This chapter was kind of bad, sorry about that. Other chapters will probably be better… And longer, for that matter.
