Um, sorry... again... =w=" I don't think I'm gonna be able to update next week because my family and I are going on a one week vacation.


What the heck am I even doing here... is what Marth would have deadpanned if he wasn't stuck in a tree with some random 12 year-old holding the same cat who tried to murder his soul after tossing him out into the same tree in chapter 1... wonderful beginning we're at :D

Okay, let's rewind a bit:

After a long day of school with Rose still following Pit around and him seeing the brunet's face less and less he walked back to his apartment with Ike and Link to study- or in their case- Marth and Link study and Ike falls asleep on his bed. Perfectly semi-normal day.

While talking to Link and Ike snacking on some pretzels he noticed that there were two unfamiliar boys standing by the tree that was as tall as the floor he lived on (which was the third floor). The two boys who he assumed were probably 12-ish were looking up into the tree.

The black haired boy of the two then decided to climb up the tree because apparently the cat was stuck there.

The two (excluding Ike because he was already paying more attention to the pretzels he was munching on) decided to stand there and wait for the boy to come down, just to make sure he was safe.

Ten minutes later the boy still didn't come down. Big uh-oh right?

"I'll go check on what's going on," Marth said, to which Link nodded and Ike... uh, munched.

He walked up to the blond boy, who was staring anxiously up there.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" Marth asked, kneeling down to his eye level.

"M-My friend was trying to save a c-cat up there but now h-he's stuck," the blond boy stuttered nervously.

"I can go help your friend," Marth smiled, hoping that that would ease the boy's nervousness of a sudden stranger walking up to him, which seemed to work.

"Th-Thank you!" the boy visibly lightened up.

And so, Marth climbed the tree to save the black haired boy and cat. When he caught up there- well- let's just say that the cat jumped onto his face and tried to murder his soul out.

Great job cat, you now have angered a good amount of fangirls that Marth didn't know he had.

After the black haired boy pried the cat off of Marth's face he had that sudden realization that this was the same cat he pushed out of his room and the cat had been stuck in that dang tree for what? Two weeks-ish? No wonder the cat wanted to murder his soul!

Then there was another realization of, "How the heck am I going to climb down this giant tree while carrying a 12 year-old boy and a cat who wants to murder my soul?!"

Now you know why he's stuck in this predicament :P

"Do you need help?" Ike asked slow and loudly.

"You freaking...!" Marth cringed as he gripped his fist.

Link then smacked Ike upside the head with a sigh, "What he meant to say was, 'Hold on, we'll get help because we're incapable of climbing trees!'"

"Uh..." Pit stared at the group in a dumbfounded way.

"Should I even ask?" Red sighed.

"How are you here without Rose?" Link asked Pit.

"I hid from Rose again, Red found me, we sneaked out of school together, and now we're here watching Marth be stuck in a tree," Pit explained quickly.

"There you are!"

The three froze, then slowly looked up and saw Rose on the rooftop of the apartment.

"Pls stahp." Pit sweated and Red and Link nodded in agreement.

Rose then jumped off the rooftop doing 360 spins and landed with her feet on the sidewalk they were on with a boom and breaking it causing concrete shards to fly all over the place. You know, more stunt tricks and destruction.

"Let us go ho-"

"Can you help Marth?" Pit suddenly interrupted, seemingly more anxious when she almost said 'home'.

"Shall I do it the less destructive way? Yes or no?" Rose asked with a salute.

"Just make sure you don't destroy anymore property and or kill someone," Pit sighed.

"Understood," Rose then walked up to the tree... and kicked it hard enough to make it shake. What? Did you expect her to climb up the tree?

She held out her arms and Marth perfectly landed in her arms bridal style with the black haired boy landing on her shoulders (making him immediately cling onto her head before he fell off) and the cat on her head.

Rose then marches over and holds out Marth to Link, "Here is your friend back."

"Uh- thanks..." Link blinked at Marth, who seemed to be scarred or his self-esteem sort of broke, then slowly and awkwardly said, "Y-You can set him on the ground..."

"Understood," Rose said, and basically dropped Marth on the ground, making him land on his butt.

"Ow..." Marth muttered under his breath as he got up.

The (lunatic) maid then walked over to the blond boy and she did something a bit odd. She gently picks the black haired boy off of her shoulder and settles him onto his feet, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks," he grinned, making her smile softly.

The older boys blinked, then looked over to Pit, obviously wanting an answer.

"D-Don't ask me!" Pit puts up his hand in defense, "She's probably more caring around kids!"

"Now let us tally ho!" Rose suddenly appeared and picked up Pit bridal style.

"Again?!" his friends- cross that out- the more responsive of his friends yelled in unison as Rose carried him off again.

"She took the cat with her," the black haired boy blinked.

"Come on Ness, let's go to the daycare, he's probably still there," the blond haired boy said, then the two left and headed in the direction past the tree.

. . .

Then the tree fell over onto the unoccupied cars parked in the parking lost for the apartment. The three stared at the tree in pure bewilderment as Ike licked the salt off of his fingers, "Called it."
