DE RIEN: A TITLE UNRELATED TO THE FIC!
"Do you really think someone is going to die tonight?"
"Yes, I do. I can feel it."
"Do you know who it might be?
"Someone with a lot of drama surrounding them. Someone slowly losing everything they have. Someone..."
-meanwhile, back with Aramai and Pit-
The awkward silence persisted. However, something changed in the air. Something foreboding. Something bad.
"Do you feel that?"
"Yeah. Do you know what it is?"
"I've only rarely felt somehting like this. I hardly remembered what it felt like."
"What is it, Pit?"
"Death is in the air. It's coming soon."
-meanwhile, where most everyone else is-
The sounds of the video games persisted, but everyone stopped, trying to figure out what this strange, unwelcome feeling was. No one could place it. Everyone murmured and whispered their theories to one another, but no one spoke aloud, for fear of bringing this feeling crashing down upon them. Many agreed that the feeling was evil, so they asked Ganondorf if he knew what the feeling was.
"Ah, this feeling is so familiar. This is what it felt like when I ruled Hyrule."
"General fear and worldwide panic?" Ness randomly interjected.
"Well, yes, but this feeling... This is different than that. This is death, waiting to claim the one who seeks it now."
More whispers erupted from everyone, wondering who would be "seeking" death. Many suggested Aramai, who was surrounded by drama and angst since her arrival at the mansion. Since no one knew where she was, everyone panicked and began to search for her.
Samus and Snake had started looking for her after the death of a drama surrounded person was predicted. They ran around the whole mansion, asking every person who crossed their path if they had seen her. Samus was in a panic about her best friend, and Snake was worried for the both of them. After ten minutes of searching, Samus was running and crying in a complete panic, hoping Aramai wasn't dead. Snake tried to comfort her, but was to no avail. Samus would not be comforted until she found Aramai, dead or alive. They were soon met with the princesses, and the rest of Aramai's roommates, who were searching for her as well.
"Have any of you seen Aramai?!"
"No, we were just looking for her! Do you have any idea where she could be?" Zelda asked.
"I have no idea. Do we know who she was with last?"
"She was probably, like, with Pit. I think he like, likes her."
"Wait... I remember... They went to the regular game room so she could learn how to play Just Dance 3 without looking like a doof!"
"Let's go!"
Everyone burst into the room, but no one was there to greet them. "Where could they be?" Samus cried out hysterically.
"Ganondorf! You're evil and know the feel of death, don't you?" Snake asked in something of a last ditch effort to try and calm Samus down.
"Why yes, yes I do. Why do you ask?"
"Can you hunt down the source of this feeling?"
"Well of course I ca-" He was immediately cut off by an attack by Samus, who was obviously pissed off by his not mentioning his evil tracking ability beforehand.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE?!"
"I figured- *cough* someone would figure it out- *cough* sooner-"
"LIKE WHO?!"
"I don't know! Hey Snake- *cough* can you get your- *cough* woman off of me?"
"Samus, he can't help us find whoever this person is if he's dead. Let him go," Snake said calmly. "I suppose you're right... But you'd better get us to them as fast as you can. I don't want to waste any time finding them, especially if it is Aramai."
"But why would Aramai want to die?" Ness randomly interjected again.
"He brings up a good point. Why would she be seeking death?" Snake asked with a look of deep thought on his face.
"Because she wants all the drama to stop."
"What do you mean Zelda?"
"If she hadn't come here, Camillo wouldn't have fallen for her, his relationship with Columbia wouldn't be strained-"
"But if she hadn't, Snake and I might never have gotten together. Whether she knows it or not, some good came of her being here, and we have to find her and let her know just how important she is. To all of us."
"Samus is right. Ganondorf, which way do we go?" Snake asked, his voice full of conviction.
"To the roof of course. How else might a suicidal person go about killing themself in this place?"
"We've got no time to lose! Quickly, lets go!"
-meanwhile, on the roof-
"What do you think you're doing?!"
"Ending it for everyone. This is just too much for everyone. It'll be easier this way. You'll find new love some day, and I'm sure no one else will remember me. Just know that you were my first love, and you always will be dear to me."
"NOOOO!"
"Why are you yelling? I haven't jumped yet!"
"And you're not going to."
"Aramai! What are you doing here?!"
"Stopping you from making a huge mistake, Camillo."
"It's too late for me. I know everything will be better once I'm gone. For everyone," he said as he looked over the edge of the roof sadly.
"And what about Columbia? She's been standing here for who knows how long trying to stop you from doing this because she loves you! Do you really think she will be be better off without you? She'll be completely devastated and maybe she'll never love again!" Aramai shouted furiously at him.
"That's not quite true Aramai. I think I would be able to move on, someday..." Columbia said, avoiding Camillo's gaze.
"You're not helping me here! Look Camillo, no matter what she says, someone would miss you. Someone who loves you wouldn't be able to go on without you," Aramai pleaded.
"Like who? Obviously not you because you have fallen in love with Pit, and obviously not her because she's in love with that Garrett guy!" Camillo shouted as he inched toward the edge.
"Stop it. Just stop it. We'd miss you. Now can we get back to some semblance of a storyline?! I for one am sick of all this OC bullcrap that's going on up here!"
"Then it's time for me to go..." And he jumped off of the roof. Columbia and Aramai ran to the edge of the roof, but it was to late for them to be able to save him.
Fortunately, Pit had been expecting what would happen, and he caught Camillo before he fell too far. At the same time, everyone else burst through the door and ran to see what was happening. Pit set Camillo down on the roof, despite his best efforts to escape. "Like, what happened?" Peach asked in her eternal obliviousness.
"Why do you condemn everyone to further misery with my continued existence?!" Camillo shouted at Pit.
"You never caused anyone misery until you decided to do this, love. Please, just stop this irrational thinking and let's go home. This place has made us crazy, and we need to get out of here," Columbia said, taking his hand. "Let's go." He stood and kissed her hand.
"I'm afraid you're going alone," and jumped off the roof again.
No one was prepared this time. There was nothing anyone could do. Columbia shouted his name as he fell, and Garrett held her back from following him. She struggled, but he took her back inside. A faint *thud* was heard below on the ground, and Aramai sank to her knees. It also started to rain.
