Laura's P.O.V (Yes, again. I'm thinking about dropping the "P.O.V" thing, as to where it's always hers.)
'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"
At first I imagined I was dreaming. Could that really be them? Them?! I patted Sonic's shoulder to make him look up. "Shhhh." I didn't want them to know we were watching them. "Wow, what on EARTH are those things?!" Well there goes that plan! "I said 'shhhh'! You know, the nice way of saying 'Shut up'!" He gave me a very blunt expression. A blunt defiant expression, then started to look guilty. "Okay, look. They're confused. They don't know where they're at, but they do know, that people have their eyes on them. I'll uh... go talk to them..." So I walk over there and immediately, Meta Knight pulls his sword out. "Oh! No, no, there's no need for that." He was just staring at me through that mask! "Meta, don't be a jerk!" Well, King Dedede's open enough... "Yeah, I mean, I only want to help. Me and my friends over there." I point to them and watch as his steady gaze travelled over all of my friends. His gaze looked disapproving, but thoughtful at least. "No. I go alone. And occasionally with... him..." poor Meta, having to travel with Dedede... "We don't need your help." Well, then! "Aw, come on! Let a pal help a pal. Help me to help you to help him! We can"- "No!"- "But"- "I said no! If you won't take that as an answer, then fight me!" I gaped at him in shock. What is wrong with this guy? "Uhh.. that's kinda the opposite of what I came to do..." "I said fight. Me." I look over at my friends only to realize the whole restaurant was staring at me and Meta Knight. It was mildly amusing, as Meta Knight had to stand on the table to reach my height. "Or are you a coward?" I instantly whipped around to face him. "Ahaha, you're going to call me a coward? I've been through way more than you should expect for a girl my age." At that moment I realized that was true. I had said it before I even thought about it. "Okay then, but it wouldn't be very fair if you had a weapon and I didn't. I reckon that would make you the coward." Then I realize Kind Dedede has a sword with him also. I grab it without asking permission. "Here we go! This'll do just fine!" I didn't hear what Kind Dedede said. Meta was already taking his attack. Of course I dodge, it was surprisingly easy. But I knew that he was taking it easy on me, and it would get harder. I take a swing at him, and it's off by feet. I get terribly embarrassed as he lets out a bout of laughter. While he's laughing, I happen to catch him off guard, hit his mask with my sword, and watch as he slams into the wall. Okay, now he's angry. Very angry. He gets up and slams the sword into me, managing to throw me into a table, and other people, making them dash off, screaming. I heard the sirens of an ambulance, but I didn't pay attention. There were police officers outside. But I didn't pay attention to that either. I stand up, despite the pain in my left leg, and march up to him. We clang our swords together as we clash in the building fury. King Dedede's over there with Sonic and friends. I know I need to get home, as to where I left Ray and Glo in charge of the house, which I figure would be a mistake. I slam my sword against his mask once again, and as he's thrown off balance, he still manages to trip me. I can't believe that! So after he trips me I stand up and pin him down. He's so small that it's easy. Then I hear the police officers screaming, and a short little "Biyo!" And turn to see Kirby coming in along with the officers. Meta Knight slips away from me and flies through the door, to not be seen again, and I'm left alone to deal with the officers. "Ma'am, drop the sword!" they do not sound very happy... "I'm sorry officer, I just"- "Drop. The. Sword." So I drop it, and begin to explain that he began the fight, but that I personally do not believe he would harm an innocent person, as he sends a search party to find Meta Knight. He decides to find him instead of deal with me, but fined me for two thousand dollars. "Hey, uh, Dedede, do you have a place to stay tonight?" He looked at me like I was a lunatic. "Excuse me, little girl, I am a King. I will find proper care... Okay, no, I do not have a place to stay tonight..." Well, that was easy enough... "Well, you're welcome to stay at our house." He instantly brightened. "Can I really? Uh, I mean, that's quite generous of you, young lady." Now to tell him... "There is one condition." Deep breathing. "Oh, great, I should have known people just aren't that nice." Oh, now I've let him down... "Well, the thing is... we're inviting Kirby, also... Could you please, uhh, not try to kill each other?" A thoughtful expression... "Nope. I am not staying there with him. Nada. No chance." Well poo... "Are you sure?"- "Positive". "Oh.. Okay, then." He glanced back as he was walking away. "Hey, Kirby? You, uhh, have a place to sleep tonight?" He just shook his head. "Well, you can come back with us! Seeing as though that's probably where you came from..." He just nodded and said "Biyo!"

We were on our way home.
"So you guys will help me pay the fine?" I hope they say yes!
"Of course." ~Claire;
"NO. Just kidding, yes, duh." ~Wesley;
"Probably not" ~Sonic;
"I might!" ~Amy;
"Yes, I will!" ~Tails;
"Might as well. You'd do the same for us." ~Knuckles.
I knew Kirby didn't have any money, so I alerted him he did not have to take part in the money party.
#•#•#•#•#•#•#
We were at home sweet home, sent the money in to pay the fine, and we were getting ready for bed. I was just thinking about how I couldn't get to sleep when the face of Ray popped through the doorway. "Laura, Laura, somebody just rang the doorbell!" Woah. "Rang. The. Doorbell? You can't get much worse than that! Okay, I'll take a look." I grab the machete I keep beside my bed, and creep down the stairs. I grip the machete tighter in my hand as I prepare to open up door and see who awaits me. It'd be my luck that Bowser would show up right about now. I thought and then chuckled, remembering to open the door. As soon as it's open, I hear "You put up quite a fight back there..." And when I look through the doorway, I see, standing there,
Meta Knight.
A/N, yeah, I was going to make it King Dedede, then decided against it. So hope you enjoyed! ~Dustpaw.
