Hey, hey, hey! Here's chapter three!
Groaning loudly, Samus pulled her aching body out of bed. She sat on the side and rubbed her eyelids with her fists, yawning. She then glanced at the clock: it was six in the morning.
Samus jumped to the ground, streaching her arms. She changed out of her night clothes, put on her zero suit, brushed her hair, placed on her armor, and headed to the cafeteria.
She opened the door and sighed: sitting at her regular table was Zelda, Peach, and worst of all, Sonic. For some reason, both of her friends seemed to invite the hedgehog EVERYWHERE they went. He went training almost everyday, they went on walks together, and now they ate together. Great. Pretty soon, Zelda and Peach would invite them both over for a sleepover.
"Hey Samus!" called Zelda, waving her hand. "We got a seat here for you!"
Samus groaned. "Greeeeaaat..." she muttered.
Sonic got up and pulled out Samus' seat for her, causing her to growl a but. "I can do it myself," she said, grabbing the chair from Sonic.
The hedgehog shrugged and sat down, right across from Samus.
Immediently, Zelda and Peach began chatting away, about their lives, their boyfriends, and such and such, though they occasionally glanced at the two others. Samus found herself looking at Sonic, who was sipping a cup of juice and holding a chili dog, both wondering what the other two were expecting. Samus blinked a couple of time behind her visor, looking at Sonic. Who eats chili dogs for breakfast? And then got up and said, "I've gotta go."
"What?" said Zelda and Peach in unison, standing at the same time.
Samus stared at the two suspiciously. "I'm just grabbing some eggs," she said.
"Oh, okay then!" said her friends, a little too quickly.
Sonic said nothing, but looked at Zelda and Peach, raising an eyebrow.
Samus looked at Sonic, and then her friends, and then headed to the breakfast line.
As Samus waited as patiently as she could behind Kirby, Snake and Falcon came up behind her, and Falcon tapped her on the helmet.
Samus whirled around and saw her two least-favorite fellow Smashers. "What do you want? Here to ogle me again?"
"No," said Falcon. "I just thought I'd let you know that someone besides us is ogling you."
"Yes. Someone shorter, faster, and closer to you than us," added Snake.
Falcon leaned closer and whispered: "Who planted a camera in your shower and saw you naked yesterday."
Samus froze. She whirled around and grabbed Falcon's collor. "What are you talking about?!"
Falcon motioned to a secluded corner on the side of the cafeteria. The trio walked there and Falcon explained: "Yesterday, we saw someone go into the girl's shower room who was NOT a girl."
Snake held up a small device and switched it on. "Look at this," he whispered.
Samus stared at the device's screen and saw the video image of a small, blue figure entering the ladies' room. The image changed to Samus entering the bathroom (she remembered that she was grabbing her shampoo) and then leaving. Afterwards, the figure beat a hasty retreat, running like a bolt of lightining down the hall.
Samus frowned. Then growled. Then hissed, "Sonic!"
"Yup," said Falcon, nodding his head. "He snuck into the ladies room and set up a camera. Thankfully, me and Snake looked up his records, and found that the hedgehog is quite the playboy. So, we sent a camera drone to watch him and found this out. We also took the liberty of removing the camera, using the drone of course."
"And that's how we discovered that Sonic was trying to spy on you." Snake shook his head. "So, we just thought we'd let you know, and ask if you want to get a little payback on the hedgehog."
Samus frowned. "What kind of payback?"
"Nothing dangerous," said Falcon, grinning. "Just a long, massive, elaborate prank that will publicly humiliate him without him knowing who did it."
Samus though about it. Sonic would be humiliated, and with that, he would probably lose his confidence in his self, resulting in him leaving her alone. It sounded good. Too good. "Why are you doing this?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.
"What? Just because we think that you're a lovely woman, doesn't mean we don't respect you."
Samus considered her options, and came up with an answer. "Fine. I'm in. But if this is one of your stupid schemes to get with me, I will kill you personally."
Snake nodded. "Understood."
Samus spun on one heel and stood off, leaving a grinning Falcon and Snake to their nasty, vengeful thoughts. Sonic would pay for humiliating them. Oh, yes, he would. But it wasn't like it was a bad thing, what they were doing, they assured themselves.' After all, it was just a harmless prank.
Oh, how wrong they were. The next day, they would find that their harmless prank had gone much too far...
Hah! Cliffhanger!
Ain't I a stinker, Doc?
