Hey, guys! I'm sorry I didn't upload this earlier this morning. I had an appointment, so I had no access to a computer until recently. But I'm happy to finally have this chapter up for you all to read! :)

I don't feel as though Dark Pit or Lucina are OOC. If I'm wrong, I apologize for that.

I own absolutely nothing.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D


Dark Pit woke up to the sound of someone moving around in his room. He fluttered his eyes open, and saw Lucina out of bed, stretching her arms out. She only had on her black silky nightie, and her blue hair was slightly frazzled from having slept on it. She grabbed a hair brush, and used it to fix her hair.

She's beautiful, thought Dark Pit as he continued to stare. He sat up and continued to watch her every movement.

As soon as Lucina finished brushing her hair, she turned around. She let out a surprised yelp when she saw his eyes on her.

"Gods, you scared me," she said. "I thought you'd still be asleep."

"Nah. I just couldn't sleep. But hey, I can't complain if I'm waking up with you," replied Dark Pit.

Lucina blushed. She then sat on the bed, and let the black-haired man wrap his arms around her waist.

"I can't stay long," she confessed. "I have a Brawl against Link soon."

"Ugh… okay. I guess you can go."

"Oh, don't act so sad. It's not like I'm going home to Ylisse."

"Yeah, but I'd rather you stay. Your Brawl isn't soon, is it?"

"It's in an hour. I do need to get ready. I'm sorry."

But Dark Pit just chuckled. "Don't apologize, babe. Go get ready."

Lucina kissed his cheek, and then got up to change into her armour. She toyed with the hem of her nightie, suddenly nervous. She glanced at her boyfriend, almost as if to say, "Look away."

"What are you waiting for?" asked Dark Pit, amused.

"Must you watch?"

"May I? I won't take pictures or embarrass you, I promise."

Still flustered about what she was about to do, Lucina slowly took off her nightie. She quickly put on a new set of smallclothes, and then her armour. She brushed her hair again after adjusting her crown on her head. She grabbed Falchion and its sheath, which she then put on her person.

"You look beautiful," said Dark Pit.

"T-thank you," stammered Lucina. She could feel a blush creep onto her cheeks, much to her annoyance.

Dark Pit got up and kissed her cheek gently. "I'd wish you good luck, but I know you don't believe in that crap. But still- you're gonna be fantastic."

"Thanks, my love. I should go now."

Once Lucina left, Dark Pit quickly changed into some regular clothes before dashing off to the Viewing Room to watch the Brawl. He got there just as the match started

Link may have been a veteran Smasher, but he was no match against Lucina. Sure, he managed to land a couple blows here and there on the newer Smasher. That being said, Lucina was able to counter most of his moves with even more powerful moves. As a result, she was able to win fairly quickly.

How does she do it? I can barely keep up, thought Dark Pit. Then again, I don't mind it one bit.


There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)

AnimeJunkieGrrl: Aww! At least I made you feel something!

PrincessKatniss02: Yeah, the song isn't a tragic song thank God! The song's kind of conflicting, so I felt as though I had to make Lucina conflicted, too. Glad you enjoyed it! :)
