AN: Going back to play Kid Icarus Uprising… I sucked a little too much to my liking. Chapter 6: Dark Pit, is one of my personal favorite chapters but I had a hard time beating it on Intensity 5.0, I haven't touched my 3DS since March… But anyways, here's another Pit's Holidays and this one will be the Fourth of July… Warning: Viridi rants a lot in this one. Speaking of Viridi… Take it away!
Viridi: TheIcarusWriter234 does not own Kid Icarus or its characters. And what do you mean I'll rant a lot?
TIW234: One word, Pollution.
Viridi: WHAT?!
Pit's Holidays,
The Fourth of July
Our favorite angel, was playing Kid Icarus Uprising… AngelLand's favorite game amongst the gods and Skyworld. Viridi, favoring the game as well. Walked in at the wrong time.
"Hey Pi-" Pit was violently tapping the 3DS touchscreen,
"DAMMIT VIRIDI! WHY?!"
"What the hell did I do?" Viridi was a bit sad that Pit was yelling at her. They've been through a lot, not as much as him and Palutena… But the time they spent together meant a lot to her. So Pit getting mad all of the sudden was a little startling.
"Oh, sorry Viridi. I was yelling at Viridi."
"…"
"The one in Kid Icarus Uprising."
"Soooo… You mean me."
"Yes. No! Um… The past you. I'm replaying the Reset Bomb Factory chapter (Chapter 12)." Viridi rose an eyebrow.
"So you're yelling at the me like… 3-4 years ago?" Pit shook his head and there was nothing but awkward silence after that.
"Everyone reading this, forget that line of text about me caring about Pit."
"You care about me? Thanks Viridi!" Viridi was blushing the same shade of red that is her dress. Only to be saved by Palutena's playful and humorous personality.
"Hello lovebirds! Hope I didn't interrupt anything, but I have big news!" Viridi and Pit forgot what just happened and listened to the Goddess of Light.
"So, do you know the United States of America?" Pit, often busy with missions, had only heard of it but was well aware that his games were localized and sold there.
"Barely." Viridi and Palutena then gave Pit a quick lecture about its Revolutionary War, how it stood out from the other countries, culture, MORE WARS, and that stuff.
"Ouch, my head hurts now."
"You've gotten finished in many painful and slow ways… Deal with it." Palutena was getting back on track.
"Well, on July 4th, the day that the U.S. declared their independence from Great Britain. They celebrate it each year by setting off fireworks in memory of the cannons firing during the war or something like that." Viridi stopped her right there.
"Woah woah woah woah… So you are saying that they light FIREWORKS each year on this day?"
"Yes."
"FIREWORKS. The thing that flies up into the air, explodes, harming the environment with its gasses, and then becomes an empty shell which takes forever for it to be cleaned up, thus harming it more?" Palutena gave a sigh and smiled.
"Yes Viridi, fireworks. The things that go BOOM and are legal for normal people to set off." Pit, who was well aware of Viridi's care for the environment, covered his ears for the rant.
"WHY THOSE FILTHY HUMANS! I TOLD YOU, THEY DESTROY AND DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT! DO YOU THINK THAT THEY CARE? EACH YEAR THE SKIES BECOME DARKER AND DARKER AND ENTIRE SPECIES ARE GOING EXTINCT! …" Palutena, who was highly regretting telling Viridi. Wanted to bring Pit and Viridi along to a firework festival, in hindsight. She should've seen this coming.
"Pit? Can you hear me?" Viridi was still ranting and the young (And by young, I mean like 70 year old. But as far as canon goes, he's older than 25) angel, had an idea. Breaking the fourth wall (Sigh…), Pit started to communicate with th-
"Okay, I'm done complaining about those vile humans."
"Wow, you work fast." The author simply face-palmed.
"I'm the author, I control this ENTIRE story, only limited by the website's rules. I can make you and Viridi make out right now."
"… Can you?" With his charming smile and eyes, Pit somewhat charmed the writer.
"Later, now get back on track."
"Aye aye!" The goddesses could only take in what Pit was doing. They cannot hear, or communicate with the author of the story.
"Huh, so that's what it feels like to be a human around Pit."
"Pit looks really dumb; its cute but sad." With the end of humanity as we know it due to the fact that the two goddesses agreed on something. The plot train kept moving on.
"Ignoring all of that… How would the two of you like to come to a firework festival with me? It would be a nice break from everything."
"Break? Viridi is going to go all environmentalist terrorist on everything." The two turned to see the Goddess of Nature planning her next attack on the humans.
"Yep, start up the Reset Bomb factories again. We're going 'Viridi's Wrath' on the U.S.A. Why? BECAUSE OF POLLUTION!" Palutena pulled Viridi away from everything for a private talk. Leaving Pit and the Author to chat.
"Viridi's Wrath? Seriously, that was some pretty bad self-promotion… I also hated the ending."
"1, shameless self-promotion isn't bad, it IS my fan-fiction. 2, although the ending was kinda iffy on my part, I must admit that it was a pretty good fanfic."
"It sucked, I would never do that! Even if I was in love with Viridi… There wasn't even any Piridi in it so that sudden change seemed rushed." And then, all hell broke loose as the Three-Headed Hewdraw came out of nowhere and took off with Pit.
"Bye bye Pit, and don't worry guys. He'll be fine, I just gave him Beam Claws and I need him safe for this fan-fiction."
[In the kitchen]
Palutena and Viridi were arguing over the festival, Viridi felt like she needed to stop it but Palutena says otherwise.
"Viridi, I will not let you Reset Bomb them. Remember the council with the gods? They forbid you from nuking them."
"I'm not nuking them. I'm creating new life and eco-systems with my bombs."
"By killing off other species? Great job Mother Nature, you now have hypocrite on your long list of titles." Viridi shrugged it off,
"So what? You can't say anything to stop me."
"Pit would really enjoy this, he's been waiting for a moment to make a move on you. Thank you author for adding slight Piridi." A bright blush entered her face, Viridi does cherish her time with Pit and Palutena… Their relationship was climbing up quickly…
"Dammit TheIcarusWriter234, you've given me and found my weakness." Viridi faced Palutena and sighed.
"Fine, for you and Pit… But only if you help me clean up afterwards." The Goddess of Light smiled and held out her hand, grasping it tightly, they shook each other's hands.
"Speaking of Pit, where is he?" With that said, they heard a crash and found Pit outside on top of a dead Hewdraw, groaning in pain.
"Pit! Are you okay? Let me check your wounds…" Pit, who was still trying to process what happened. Found himself on top of the Hewdraw with Viridi and Palutena tending to his wounds.
"And… There you go! Good as new." Pit put his hand on Viridi's shoulder.
"Tell me doc… How much longer do I have to live?" After a bitch-slap and followed by a kiss, he got a straight answer.
"Don't worry, you had a broken arm but we healed it. Go rest in a hot spring to finish the healing process." Pit shook his head and got up, he dragged his feet to the temple's hot spring and promptly jumped in. Letting the power of the hot spring heal him.
"You know Pit, Viridi sort of mentioned this but… Hot spring water looks like-"
"Don't you dare finish it! It is only this shade of yellow because of the light!"
"But when the Aurum attacked I believe they used blue lights for their ship."
"… Please skip ahead."
[1 second la-
"MORE THAN THAT!"
[Much later on the surface]
"Pit, look at that! Can we please go on it?" Pit, Palutena, and Viridi were at the festival so they decided to explore it. Palutena left Pit and Viridi alone so they can spend quality time while she goes and meet up with the others at the festival: Dark Pit, Phosphora, Arlon, Cragalanche (Who won all of the strength games), Magnus, and Gaol.
"No offense, but you're acting like a little girl… From all of the video games and anime I've watched, I think I know what I mean." Viridi wanted to go on a boat ride, with Pit rowing the boat along the canal.
"So what if I am? I just want our date to be memorable." The word that frightens Pit was "Date", he had never been on on and dating sims didn't help.
"WHERE ARE THE GODDAMNED CHOICES?" Pit gave a goofy grin and got on a boat.
"M'lady, would you like to ride a boat with me?"
"I would, thank you Pit." Viridi got into the boat with him and Pit began rowing.
"Pit, you can rest." Viridi pulled out a plant and turned it into a Force of Nature so that it can row the boat for them.
"Thanks Viridi, you can be really nice sometimes!"
"Sh-shut up, it was nothing." Pit noticed how cute Viridi was when she was shy and showing the kind side of the tsundere,
"Please, I just want to thank you. You're very kind… I just can't believe we used to be enemies." Viridi picked herself up,
"Yeah, I really love spending time with you…"
"Oh really?"
"… I love you, you big idiot."
"I love you too."
[With the spies]
"My little Pit was growing up… I remember when he saved me from Medusa in the first game." Dark Pit and Palutena were spying on their date, the two were too into each other to notice. The Kid Icarus characters are at the top of the clock tower to celebrate the fireworks.
"Speaking of first game, there are a ton of endings to it. In one, Pit grew up and you kissed him. Looks like Viridi has rivalry." Palutena had a slight blush on her face and Dark Pit had a satisfied smirk on his face.
"Whatever, Pit and Viridi are really hitting it off."
"Well the author is making it going well." Dark Pit did have a point, Pit and the HAMAZING author have occasional banters and due to his control over this story the date is going along quite well.
"Oh yeah, STOP BOOSTING YOUR GODDAMNED EGO! It's getting really annoying. Wait, CRAP!" And with that, Dark Pit fell off the clock tower and went through a series of pain that landed him in the firework display, he was stuck… They were about to go off.
"OKAY, I'M SORRY." Dark Pit eventually got his way out though, and made it back up the clock tower.
"Ouch, that was quite a beating you took." Palutena fixed up the dark angel while everyone else was preparing for the fireworks.
"Come on! Let's start!"
"Sir Magnus has made a point, it would be quite romantic for Master Pit and Mistress Viridi if they went off soon."
"I feel glad for her, getting to date and having such a cutie to herself."
"Shh! It's starting!"
[With the Piridi]
The two stared at the fireworks as they flew up and exploded, creating a beautiful and colorful display for the couple.
"To be honest, I would love these if they didn't pollute the environment." Pit came up with an idea and pulled out a Celestral Firework, one that he would use to celebrate Lady Palutena. He used it and it flew up to explode in a multicolored fashion. He turned to Viridi and grinned,
"Environmental friendly and beautiful, just like you."
"You are such a cheesy dork."
"But you love me right?" Viridi sighed at her boyfriend's question, it stung her a bit.
"Yes I do you big doofus." The tension between them was rising, Pit had to make a move.
"Viridi…"
"Yes Pit?"
"I've already said this but… I love you!" He pulled Viridi into a deep kiss, not the ones they usually use as goodbye, but a kiss used for no other reason than love. She was surprised but eventually got used to it. The only reason they stopped was because Pit needed air. The two of them had the exact same answer to that.
"… That. Was. Awesome."
"So… You want to go again?" Pit's face lit up,
"Can we?"
[On the top floor of the clock tower]
The moment that Palutena announced that Pit and Viridi kissed, everyone celebrated with joy.
"Way to go Angelface!"
"Woo! Haha, looks like Pit-stain had the guts to do it after all!"
"I hope the Mistress and Master Pit have a great date."
"Aw… Just a kiss?" Phosphora seemed slightly disappointed, but it could be she is just teasing them.
[Later…]
After they all met up to eat dinner, all of the males went to congratulate Pit and the same for the females and Viridi. After everyone ate, they said their goodbyes.
"That was a nice date, hope we can go on another one soon."
"I promise, we will." Viridi gave Pit a goodbye kiss and she left with her commanders. Leaving Pit and Palutena to go home themselves.
"Pit, we need to talk."
"What is it Lady Palutena?" She looked kind of nervous.
"Um… Just try to control yourself when you're with Viridi." Blushes remained in Palutena's Temple for the rest of the night.
AN: What did I say about Viridi and Pit… She will only be a minor romantic interest or something like that. Well, to be completely honest. I have the attention span of a goldfish (How the hell did I get A's in all of my classes… ) and forgot that. I write what feels natural and "go with the flow", so romantic tension is needed. If you want to know, I plan on completing Steve's Adventure by the end of the summer while Pit's Holidays will keep going on but will eventually end soon. SUMMER TIME WRITING POWERS ACTIVATE!
