Roy
When I woke up, I was laying behind some bushes in a large clearing. Jade was sitting to the side with her head in her hands, but Samus and Alyss were nowhere to be seen. I sat up, my hands reaching for something to help me up. In the end, it was Jade's hand.
"Need any help?" Jade asked, her voice devoid of expression. I nodded so she pulled me up. I immediately sat down on a nearby stump, I obviously wasn't completely healed. Jade was usually—in her own way—sympathetic about these things. But she just sat, leaning against the stump with a dead look on her face.
"Hey Jade," I asked, "where's Samus and Alyss?"
She sighed, "Samus is gone."
My heart stopped, "Sh…sh–she died?"
Jade stood up and replied (in a very sarcastic voice) "Oh not dead, just gone, she left us, Roy."
I asked her to go on so she spun out the story of what had happened after I went unconscious. About Alyss running at the dragon with a tree branch, about Samus saving all of us. She even told me about jumping out the tree to try to save me, all of that. When she got done I was silent, 'til I realized something. "Hey, you never told me where Alyss was."
Jade looked up from where she had been drawing in the dirt to reply, "Oh yeah, she went off on a sort of scout mission, I don't know. I think she just wanted to get away from me."
At this I was confused. "Why would you think that?"
She sighed, "Well, I'm the one who jumped out of the tree, Alyss had a perfect plan but I had to mess it up and that's—" her voice dropped to a whisper "—why Samus left."
Unfortunately, she had a point. While both she and Alyss did something rash and pointless, Alyss's had only been an attempt to fix what Jade had done. I believe what annoyed Samus was that neither action amounted to anything. In a way I understood Samus, sometimes I think it would be easier without these two. Except for knowledge of the other players, they bring nothing to the table. And yet… I never left. I couldn't help but feel they were crucial to the game functioning. They tried so hard, too. I didn't think I could leave them. We were getting to be friends. It almost made me not want to return to my home. I know in the end we will have to go home, no matter how much I will miss my new friends. Especially Alyss. I liked Jade alright, but Alyss… she was really special. I smiled quietly to myself.
Wait a second.
"Jade, shouldn't Alyss be back yet?"
Jade
With a jolt I realized he was right, as Alyss had been gone about an hour and a half. I looked at Roy. We didn't say anything, and we didn't need to. I ran toward where Alyss had disappeared and I knew Roy was right behind me.
"Alyss?" Roy called, "Alyss?" Wow, he sounded really worried. Then again, he should be! Who knows where she is in a place like this?!
Suddenly, I heard in the distance a faint "Roy!" I ran towards the noise all the while calling for her. When we finally found her she was hunched over an object in the dirt. I ran to see if she was okay, but Roy got there first. He tackled her to the ground laughing the whole time. Alyss looked surprised, then she laughed too. Roy rolled over and stood up again.
"Sorry, I was worried I wouldn't see you again!" The smile began to fade from my face. How dare she disappear like that?!
Now I have to admit a part of my brain said, don't be angry she's your friend! But then a much darker part of my brain claimed, I had every right to be mad! She had abandoned us for what, something she found?! And besides, look how happy Roy is to find her, that makes you jealous doesn't it? I shook away the voices, but they still fueled my anger.
"Alyss, why would you abandon us like that?! We were worried about you! And all for what, something you found?!" Her smile slid off her face.
"Well, I thought you would want to see it, but I couldn't get it out of the ground," she shrugged and looked up at Roy. "And besides, I knew you guys would find me!"
Any other time, this wouldn't have bothered me. But I was still annoyed about Roy so I just turned around and walked off.
Alyss
I sighed, I should have guessed this would happen. Jade always did like Roy, even when she believed he was just a character. I, on the other hand, always liked Marth. Speaking of which...
"Roy, come see what I found!" He left from where he was staring after Jade and walked toward where I was standing, smiling again. I gestured down to where it was laying in the ground.
Roy stared at it in confusion. "What's so special about it?"
I looked up and laughed, "This belongs to Marth! He's here, too!"
