Chapter 4

(Fumu's P.O.V.)

After I recovered from that latest episode I decided something must be done. I had to tell Meta Knight before it was too late. But I wasn't sure how and is it even a good idea? It was uncertain how the mysterious knight would react and what would my family think of this? However, if I didn't try I might regret it deeply. I resolutely walked down the castle halls only to overhear Sword and Blade talking.

"Since we worked so hard on that final part last night, we will finally be able to leave." Sword said.

"We better go pack." said Blade.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard that. I didn't know that they were going to leave so soon! I knew that unless I acted fast I would lose my chance. I walked down to Blade's room and knocked.

"Fumu?," said Blade.

"Hello Blade, do you know where Sir Meta Knight is?" I asked.

"He's currently busy. You're certainly asking for him a lot lately."

"Uhh," I mumbled trying to hide my red face" Blade can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Sure." said Blade as she let me in. "What is it?"

"Will you, Sword, and Sir Meta Knight really be leaving Popstar."

"Yes. How did you know?"

"I happened to overhear… Is there nothing I can do to stop you?"

"Why would you want to stop us?"

"Please don't be mad at me for this but… I'm in love with Sir Meta Knight."

"What! You are!"

"Please Blade, I have to tell him before it's too late but I don't know how." A single tear rolled down my face but I quickly brushed it away.

Blade must have seen my tear because she put her arm around me comfortingly and said" Don't worry Fumu, there will be plenty of time to tell him. And I'm not mad at you at all. You see, I've had a large crush on Sword for a long time. A while ago I confessed and to my surprise he admitted he felt the same towards me. We both want to fly across the galaxy together and Sir Meta Knight would probably be you know, in the way. So I would like it if you took him off our hands. Don't be afraid to tell him. Even though he tries to hide it, Meta Knight really is a kind-hearted person."

"Thanks for the encouragement Blade, but I still don't think I can."

"I can't tell him for you. We will probably leave tomorrow so you have to hurry."

"Okay. I'll try." I said and walked to the courtyard. I sat down on the fountain and thought of all the different way to say the three fatal words. Without warning the fountain split apart and I tumbled off.

"Excuse me Fumu, I didn't know you were there." said Meta Knight when he realized why I was laying flat on my face.

"That's alright. I keep on forgetting this is a secret entrance."

"I would help you up but my hands are currently in use." said Meta Knight, who was presently caring armfuls of tools

"Don't bother," I replied, getting to my feet. I walked over to Meta Knight and helped him carry his stuff. We walked up to the knight's room and put the tools away. I couldn't help but notice his eyes were becoming a deep purple.

"Thank you, Fumu," said the blue knight.

"No problem. Sir Meta Knight, can I talk to you for just a moment."

Meta Knight nodded and motioned for me to take a seat.

"Sir Meta Knight, I-I" I stammered and started to tremble, the words stuck in my dry throat.

"Calm down Fumu, and tell me what is it you want."

"Please don't go!"

"I'm sorry but my mind is set."

"Please! Don't leave me." By now I was starting to tremble and I struggled not to cry.

"Fumu?"

"I love you, Sir Meta Knight! I always have and I always will!"
