Heyo! It's me again! Okay, so this chapter may have a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes so please excuse them I'll try to change them in the future so without further a due enjoy~!
Is it rude to un-invite your guest? Lucina was just wondering. Raised as a proper lady, she was taught not to be rude and trained to be extremely polite. But now she's wondering if she could bribe R.O.B into making a time machine, go back when she invited Dark Pit to Rekushawa Sushi and yell at her past self 'DON'T DO IT!'
"Pitto."
"Hold on."
"Pitto."
"Give me a minute."
"Dark Pit!"
"What is it?!"
"This is not how you do it, you weasel!"
"Then maybe you should shut up until I do it properly, smurf."
She gritted her teeth and stood at the side of the mattress, waiting for her turn. Her lips parted to shout something but Wii Fit Trainer gave her a sharp look as if saying 'I dare you, princess'.
Earlier, Lucina begged for Wii's forgiveness since the teacher was a little sour from that incident where everyone fell dominos-style. After that day, Lucina didn't participate further in Yoga class but after much persuasion, Marth finally got her in.
Wii Fit Trainer nodded and the blue-haired princess noticed something in the trainer's eyes. Everyone always says that there's nothing but white in her eyes but now as that she took a closer look, the woman has ever so light brown pupils! Wow, who would've thought? It made her look a lot creepier actually.
"Fine, I'll let you in but you see that chair in the dark corner? Yeah, that's were you'll be sitting if you interrupt my class. The same goes for you, Pitto, I wanna see you moving today not sitting on you your ass.
Yup, that's what she said at the start of the class. Lucina definitely didn't want to end up on that chair. It looks small and rusty and embarrassing to sit on. Just imagine all the new insults that Pitto will come up if she sits there!
The pose Wii preformed was simple but Dark Pit made it complicated.
She kept whispering at him to take it seriously and not goof off and he told her to back off. Every now and then she looked up to see if the trainer is looking. Yeah, that's how nervous Lucina was.
"Maybe it's my wings that's throwing me off," Dark Pit muttered, sitting straight and sweating, rubbing the side of his face with a towel.
From across the room, Falcon shouted. "I'm trying over here!" He complained. He seems to have a black eye from DK during lunch. Pitto remembers and he chuckles every now and then.
The teacher growled. "You need to focus on your breathing," she hissed. "I'm pretty sure I told you that more than once, Captain."
The captain backed off from the almost enraged woman and mumbled. "You sounded a lot nicer on Wii but you're really mean."
To his unfortunate, she heard what he said. "Get back to your position or I'll show you just how mean I can be," she snapped.
Lucina sighed and stretched, she was just about to preform the pose when the bell rang, indicating that the class was thankfully over. Dark Pit seemed relief and stood up. To her, he seemed to be a bit more grumpier than he used to and from his face, he looked exhausted.
She wanted to question him but decided to mind her own business. Taking to him will only lead to a very lengthy argument and she has a slumber party to attend to. It won't be any good if she's late.
It's her first time going to one so she's pretty excited but what could she wear? Should she bring something? God, why didn't Peach add in details into her invitation?
Lucina took a quick shower in the locker rooms and put on her usual outfit with her sword.
Then got ready for the big party.
Earlier at lunch...
Link helped himself with the sausages and meat pies, placing a small slice on his plate then made his way to his table.
His usual table was packed with his loud friends as they laughed at Ike's jokes. The green clad placed his plate and pushed a seat out for himself.
Marth poked him on the shoulder. "Hey, Link, is there something going on with Pitto?"
The question almost made Link choked. How could he have known?! Oh, wait a minute.
The hero slowly turned his head at Falcon, who sat the opposite side eating a weird looking soup. This table was mostly for swordsmen but Falcon invited himself in.
The captain raised his hands in defense. "Hey, you never said to keep it a secret, man."
Link rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I never told you to share it either," he muttered.
Marth frowned. "Is there something wrong with Dark Pit?" He asked again more seriously.
The Hylain sighed. "Pit noticed he's been acting strange and so does Palutena. She told Zelda and Zelda told me," he explained and looked up at his group of friends. "But you didn't hear it from me or from this idiot captain here."
Falcon frowned. "That's not fair! You can't expect to keep things a secret in this mansion!"
"True but you are an idiot for not keeping your mouth shut," Link said.
"Pff, you the only one that thinks I'm an idiot!"
Link shook his head. "Everyone thinks you're an idiot."
"I second that," Marth said.
"Third."
"Fourth."
"Fifth."
"Wha–why I'd never!" Falcon stuttered looking genuinely hurt but replaced it with a cocky smile and stood into his famous pose. "You're all just jealous of me! I mean, who could blame you?"
Link rolled his eyes and chewed on his meat. Maybe it's not so bad that they know. They could even help.
"I don't know if it's just me but I think Gannon might be up to something," Link said and explained his thoughts to his companions.
Ike nodded grimly and recalled that he saw Pitto leaving the Villains' table at breakfast rather earlier and the guy looked mad. They all thought it made perfect sense. Gannondorf is responsible for Dark Pit's behavior and Link is now sure of it because of their reassurance.
"What are you going to do about it?" Marth asked. "Tell Master Hand?"
Link thought for a moment. "I don't want to take such drastic measures. I'll talk to Gannon myself and tell him to back off first."
"And if he doesn't?"
"I'll figure it out. I don't want Master Hand involved in this. It won't be good," Link said.
Ike twirled his fork in his bowl of spaghetti. "Didn't you tell Zelda about this? I mean, she's usually the one who comes up with great ideas."
"Oh, ha ha, very funny, Ike. I don't know if you know but I'm actually trying."
"No, I'm serious. Shouldn't you tell her?"
Link sighed. "Zel's got too many things in her hands right now like that slumber party. I'll handle this on my own."
Falcon grumped. "If you ask me this kid's more trouble than he's worth. Not to mention a total creep."
The green clad frowned. "First, no one asked you and second, don't judge someone based of their looks."
Marth nodded and pointed his fork. "I don't know if this is true or not but I heard that he took on a level nine CPU."
The racer laughed and slapped his knee. "Ha! Get out of here! Level nine? I couldn't even get to seven so you think a newbie like him is capable of a level nine CPU?"
The prince shrugged. "Maybe on who knows? He's got a high ranking than you when you first started out. I wouldn't be much surprised if he did take on level nine."
"But you'll still be surprised?"
"Of course! This is level nine we're taking about!"
The racer rolled his eyes. "Big deal. Look, I'm just saying that kid is creepy, not to mention bad guy so Link, bro, how about you try minding your own business for once?"
The Hylain hero didn't take Falcon's advice too friendly. "I'm trying to help him!"
Ike shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "I get that you're trying to do the right thing but there are some things you just can't fix. Think about it, I'm pretty sure Pitto won't like it if you barge in and help him in his battles."
A dark wave washed over Link's face. "You all wouldn't understand because you've never took on Gannon before but I know what he's capable of," he said, locking his eyes on the empty Villains' table. They're all eating out from what Samus said. At some steak house or something.
"Gannon might even get Pitto kicked out for all I know. He's completely unpredictable," Link muttered bitterly.
His friends stayed quiet. They all know Link's burning hatred for the dark lord. If he's ever mentioned Link gets all dark and angry. Him and Gannon are the only two rivals that don't get along aside from Dedede and Kirby. Mario and Bowser are okay-ish, Wolf and Fox fight over the tv remote sometimes but it's never been serious.
"Okay then," Ike said. "We'll help as much as we can then."
Falcon frowned. "Wait, we will? I don't want to help that freak—OW! What the heck, Ike?!" He said that last part because the swordsman kicked the racer from under the table.
"We'll help, won't we?" Ike said slowly as if he's talking to an idiot (which he is).
"Fine," the F-Zero racer grumbled. "But I'm not going near him. He gives me the creeps."
Math wanted to join in and say that he'll be happy to help when a huge ape landed at the center of their table, knocking all their beverages and crushing their meals. The hairy creature growled at Captain Falcon and made a grab for him but Falcon was faster.
Donkey Kong gave out a loud roar that shook the table and sent the swordsmen's ears to ring. DK leaped off the table and lunched out for Falcon, who was running for dear beloved life.
The heroes really didn't know what to say or if they should do something like call the animal exterminator.
Well, it's what he gets for eating DK's bananas.
"And then I kissed him on the nose and we went into the castle and guess what I made him?" Peach asked.
"A cake?"
"Yes!"
The toadstool princess seemed very proud of herself and clapped excitedly.
The slumber party was going along just fine until Peach said it was time to talk about guys. The common room was so much bigger without the tables and the buffet trays. The floor was carpeted with pink and confetti. A huge banner over their heads with SLUMBER PARTY written in several colors.
At the end of the room the fire place was lit up, the fire cracked, bringing warmth in the room. Blanket and mattress were spread in front of the fireplace and at the side of the walls were tables of desserts, chips and beverages. It was so much that they could invite all the boys down and still have some leftovers.
Everyone was dressed in their PJ's, sitting on their mattresses forming a circle.
Peach looked up at her female friends, excitement danced in her eyes. "Who's next? Everyone else did except for Lucina and Rosy. So Lucina~ any guy you have in mind?"
The blue haired princess stopped eating her slice of cake. She was unaware of the icing on her cheek. "Excuse me?"
Peach giggled and waved her hand. "Oh, don't think you can hide it from me, hun! Why don't you tell us about that special guy, huh?"
Lucina frowned. She seriously had no idea what Peach was talking about. "I'm sorry but can you be more specific?"
The pink princess giggled. "You're in love with Dark Pit, silly!"
Lucina choked on her cake. "What?! No, no, NO! There is absolutely nothing going on between me and him," she explained.
Samus turned to Peach. "See? I told you. You're making such a big deal out of this," she said. The only reason why she's here is because she's forced to against her will. All of this pink and girly stuff is giving her a headache.
Peach gasped then gave out a dreamy sigh. "You all won't understand, you non believers! But there is something between—"
"Peach stop it," Lucina growled.
"Oh, you'll hate each other at first but then when you look in his eyes—"
"I'm serious! There's nothing going on with me and him!"
"—you'll fall madly in love! But he'll realize he can't be with you because he's a villain! Oh, it will be so heartbreaking, so sad—"
"Zelda, please make her stop."
"This is beyond my powers, Lucina. Once she starts she won't stop."
Peach continued as if they didn't say anything. "It'll be forbidden love I tell you! In the end, you'll be depressed and lonely and refuse to be with anyone but him."
"I'd rather talk to the wall than date him," Lucina muttered. God, how did this conversation steered to Dark Pit? They were having such a great time and now she wants to leave.
The toadstool princess hooked her arms around Lucina's. "You'll fall for him in no time! I'll help—"
"No thank you," she growled taking her arm back.
"Yes, Peach, if there truly is nothing going on between them then we shouldn't push her," Rosalina said. She's been awfully quiet this whole time.
But this did not take the energy from the other blonde. Peach kept grinning and giggling at the very thought.
Lucina wanted to set Peach straight that she'd rather die than fall in love with that demon when her phone rang. She sighed and looked at the screen to see the caller.
"Dark Pit?" She said with a frown.
Peach squealed, shaking Zelda. "He's going to confess! God, that sure was fast."
"He'll do no such thing!" Lucina snapped and stared at the screen wondering if she should pick up.
The bounty hunter sighed. "Well? Pick it up already."
She really didn't want to but since everyone's watching and Peach squealing like a fan girl there's really no other choice.
She picked up. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me."
Ugh, just hearing his voice...
"Me? Who's me? Stop trying to act cool," she mocked.
Peach wanted to smack her for that but Zelda and Samus held her back.
Lucina could hear him scoffing from the other line. "You lookin' for a fight, princess?"
Dark Pit sighed irritatedly. "Look, I called to ask about date—"
"Whoa, whoa, a date?!" She hissed, completely unaware of all the wide eyes from the other females. "We made it very clear—"
"Will you shut up and let me finish? I want to know the date for that what's-its-name place."
She rose an eyebrow. "You mean Rekushawa Sushi?"
Pitto sighed irritatedly. "Whatever. You didn't mention when or what time."
Her eyebrows furrowed. "Can't you read? It was written on the first paragraph just like the tickets!"
"Can you quite shouting on the phone?! Your voice is gonna make me deaf."
"I wouldn't have to shout if you would read the damn magazine properly."
"When is it?!" He demanded.
"Tomorrow at six, idiot!"
"That's all I wanted to know, smurf!" With that he hung up.
Lucina closed her phone and looked up to see that all eyes were on her.
Peach's face was red. "Oh. My. God. You–you are going out with him?!"
Zelda covered her ears then muttered. "Brace yourselves."
"EHHHAAAAEE!" Peach squealed.
The princess grabbed Lucina by the shoulder and shook her. "Do you know what this means?! You two are– oh god! This is too much for me! The way you two talked on the phone sounded like an old married couple!"
She squealed again that made everyone wince.
Samus rose an eyebrow. "You two are really going out?"
"She did say a date," Zelda pointed out.
Lucina could just pull her hair from her scalp. "It's nothing like that! I'm only taking him to that restaurant because I had no other choice!" She said in one breath.
She tried to catch her breath as Rosalina placed her hand on her shoulder. "Perhaps you should give us an explanation."
And she did, starting with how Marth refused to let her go alone and how Pitto ended up being her last and only choice since all her female friends had other plans tomorrow.
To Lucina's relief, Rosalina nodded. "Yes, that does make more sense."
Peach got to her feet. "This must be fate!"
Everyone groaned at the princess's undying enthusiasm. "Fate?"
"Destiny!" She gleamed.
Samus rubbed the bridge of her nose. "Just give it up already. They both don't like each other anyways."
Peach pouted and crossed her arms then she brightened up at an idea and got up. "Um, I have to do something really quick," she told them and quickly walked out.
Zelda shook her head at the other princess in a what-the-hell-am-I-gonna-do-with-her kind of way and noticed the deep sigh that Rosalina gave out. "Is something wrong, Rose?" The Hylian princess asked.
Samus and Lucina were both in a conversation to even notice so Rosalina spoke. "I think I've made a bad impression on Dark Pit."
The long eared girl tilted her head slightly in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"On the second day of my arrival I accidentally bumped into him and after that I don't think he likes me very much," Rosalina explained with a sad expression.
Zelda saw the distress on her face and placed a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "Pitto has been acting strangely, according to Palutena and Pit."
Rosalina looked at her. "He has?"
"Yes and it's been distracting him lately which is freaking Pit out so perhaps you just caught him in a bad mood."
"But every time I wanted to talk to him he always walks away and ignores me."
Well, that does seem rather mean—which does suit Pitto if you think about it—but what does he have against sweet Rosalina? Heck, not even Bowser mistreats her.
Zelda thought for a moment. Being the holder of the Wisdom Triforce, she tends to take every situation delicately and figures out a reasonable solution. Rosalina is looking at her for advice so it's best not to let her down.
"Perhaps you should approach him when he's alone in his room where there's no one to interrupt and nowhere to go," she said. "Just talk it out and see what the problem is."
Rosy thought for a moment. "That might work," she said with a smile and her spirit back up again. "Thank you, Zelda."
The Hylain wanted to say something but it was impossible when Peach is rambling on to Lucina the importance in a relationship. Wow, she was back quick.
The blue haired girl looked like she's about to smash Peach's face in any time.
Oh boy, this is gonna be a looooong night.
"Okay, okay! Don't move one muscle! I try to get it out!" Lucina cried, her hands were shaking.
Pitto glared then winced in pain. "Just get it out!" He barked.
Her fingers wrapped around the chopstick and pulled but Pitto pushed her back yelling in pain. All the other costumes glared at them but neither one of them bothered to get up and help them.
The princess blushed in embarrassment and gave Pitto a sharp look. "Lord help me and guide me to the light of path, just how in thehell did you get a chopstick up your nose, Pitto?"
"I don't know! It was all in a blur!" He growled.
The red chopstick was stuck alright but there's no bleeding so it couldn't have gone deep.
Okay, this all might be too fast for you lovely readers so let me rewind a bit.
An hour before, the two managed to get inside the Rekushawa Sushi restaurant. Lucina wore a blue blouse with a long black skirt and her hair was tied to a ponytail. Pitto didn't bother to change and went with his dark tunic.
The place was so beautiful. It feels like you've just waked into Japan. It was decorated with red paintings of flowers that were blown away by a gentle breeze, the walls were wooden with Japanese sayings. The floor was also wooden with a carpet laid out. A lanterns hung right above their heads and even better, there were no chairs. Just the way that it should be and also no spoons but chopsticks.
It brought tears to Lucina's eyes. This place had such a remarkable atmosphere that reminded her of the good old days. But she couldn't enjoy it with all of Pitto's complaints on how there's no chairs and no spoons.
He couldn't get how to use a chopstick and groaned that he wants to sit on a chair instead of the ground. Lucina snapped at him that this is what Japanese cuisine is all about and how it was his decision to come here.
Oh, how she wished Marth was here. His reaction was priceless when she told him that she's going with Dark Pit that he literally spit out all of his coffee on Link.
Lucina and Pitto had a short argument until Lucina had enough of him and went to the washroom. It was only five minutes. Really. When she came back, a red chopstick was right up his nose. How did that happen? She didn't know and she didn't wanted to know.
All she did know was to get that thing off before it goes deeper and might do something to his brain. Master Hand won't be too pleased.
"Excuse me," the Japanese waiter said with a sharp tone and a thick accent. He was clearly irritated. "But do you mind keeping your voice down? You're distracting the other customers."
Lucina spoke to him in Japanese that she was extremely sorry and that her idiot guest got a chopstick up his nose. The waiter, however, was not pleased and didn't look concern at all. He warned her that if her boyfriend doesn't stop fooling around he'll have them thrown out. The princess snapped that Pitto was so not her boyfriend and that he needed help but the waiter walked away saying he had orders to serve.
"What did he say? Is he getting help?" Pitto asked hopefully.
"He said that if we're not quiet then we'll get kicked out," she muttered. "I'm going to twist and pull that thing."
"The hell you are."
"The hell I will," she said and grabbed the small wooden stick.
Ignoring his insults and curses, she twisted and it finally broke loose. Pitto clammed his nose with his hand and breathed out sharply, shutting his eyes tightly.
With a sigh of relief, Lucina smiled and looked at the small chopstick she recovered. The tip was covered with a bit of snot but no blood, thank god.
But the smell...it was so familiar. It was perfume that smelled like fruits. Maybe it's a scented chopstick? No way. She remembered clearly that they didn't smell this good when they sat down. And besides they don't have scented chopsticks.
She slowly frowned as her eyes examined the wooden stick. Pitto did say that all happened in a blur so could it be that someone purposely sticked a chopstick up his nose? If it was then how does he not remember? This is really strange and something feels very wrong about this.
"This is why I use a spoon," Pitto grumbled, interrupting her thoughts.
She glared. "If you don't want to be here then please leave. I'd like to enjoy this night if you don't mind."
"You Japanese people and your weird stuff."
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing."
Little did they know that they're gonna have one hell of a night because of a certain princess hiding behind a bush.
Dressed in black with black smug on her face like a commando along a heavy helmet was Peach with binoculars at hand.
"Dang it! I thought that would work!" She hissed, peering over her binoculars.
Zelda sighed. "Honestly, Peach, what were you hoping for?"
She's only here because she's worried on what Peach has in plan. She knew that her match making friend would do anything to get the two to be a couple and since Zelda knew she couldn't stop Peach she might as well make sure no one gets hurt.
"It was simple," Peach said, putting her binoculars down. "When Lucina went to the washroom I made sure that Pitto was distracted so I could switch his chopstick with a scented one. He'll notice the smell and hold it up to his nose and the chopstick will magically get stuck in his nose—"
"Wait, wait, magically?" Zelda demanded.
Peach have a sheepishly smile. "Maybe I looked through your magic book..."
"My magic book?!"
"Okay, moving along, the chopstick won't harm him so—"
"Wait just a minute, you took my magic book from my room without my permission then used it on an object to hurt someone?!"
"Let me finish, dear," Peach said calmly and tapped on her chin. "Now, where was I? Oh yeah, the chopstick will get up his nose and Lucina will try to get it out. Her face with get close to his then she'll realized that they were made to be and voila, they'll kiss and the chopstick will fall right off. The end."
Zelda face palm, more worried than mad that Peach used her magic book during the slumber party. "Those dating shows really got to you."
Peach waved her hand. "Oh nonsense," she giggled.
She looked at the two with her binoculars. "They may have stopped my first plan," she muttered, using her pinky to adjust the focus from the top of the lens, "but I have so much more up my sleeve~!"
The Hylian really didn't like that purr in her voice. Now might be a good time to wear your helmets folks.
In the next chapter! I hope you guys liked this one I had a lot of fun writing it.
What do you think about Link's accusation? What will happen in the next chapter?
