Categories: Mario & Kid Icarus.

Couple: Moon Benson and Viridi.

"Location: The Mushroom World, the Nintendo Realm of the Dream World, April 5th 2159"

One day, Viridi went to visit Moon on Gateway Galaxy.

"Moon, I've been looking for you!" Viridi said.

"Oh, I've been looking for you too! I hear you've been warming up to humans more often. I know it couldn't have been easy for you. Thank you." Moon said.

Viridi blushed.

"S-Sure. No problem." Viridi said.

"So, you had something you wanted to talk to me about?" Moon asked.

"No, never mind. It's not important." Viridi replied.

"Are you sure?" Moon asked.

Viridi nodded.

"Yeah. Maybe we can talk some other time." Viridi replied.

She turned around to leave.

"W-Wait! Viridi, what's wrong? You can tell me. Please, let's talk." Moon said. He then frowned and asked "Wait, are you alright? Your face is burning up! Do you have a fever? Are you sick? Let me get my mother. She can help!" Moon asked.

"N-No! I-I'm fine." Viridi replied.

"Are you sure? Your sweating a lot too." Moon asked.

"Well... I wanted to tell you..." Viridi started to reply.

"Yes? Go on." Moon asked.

Viridi sighed.

"I'm sorry. My pride prevented me from telling you before. I swore I'd never do this. Every time I saw you, I felt ashamed. You were a reminder of what I hated the most. A reminder of my weakness. But over time, my hatred for humanity has been weakened and been replaced. I began to wrestle not with my weakness, but with a new feeling." Viridi replied.

"A new feeling?" Moon asked.

"Yes. Love." Viridi replied.

Moon was surprised.

"Love?" Moon asked.

Viridi blushed even more.

"Yes. I could not be accept that I had feelings for you. Your a human, while I am a goddess... and a constant reminder of my hatred to your race. We could never be together." Viridi replied.

"I see. Well, the truth is, I have had feelings for you too. Ever since the day I first met you." Moon said.

Viridi was surprised.

"Huh?" Viridi asked.

"I made excuses for myself, saying I wanted you to make friends and learn. But the truth is, I only wanted to get closer to you." Moon replied.

"Moon..." Viridi started to say.

Moon laughed lightly.

"When you think about it, we really did meet in the worst possible way, didn't we?" Moon asked.

Viridi smirked.

"Don't say that! From now on, I will remember it as one of the happiest days of my life. As you said, we should be grateful we connected so well." Viridi replied.

Moon nodded.

"Yes. Thank you, Viridi. I promise to love you forever." Moon said.

"There is no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you." Viridi said.

Viridi: To think that I might love a human... who knew. What a strange world this is.
