The night came quickly and the hospital had many visitors. Okan was treated for her broken wrist as well as the many broken ribs she had. Friona kept trying to get in to see her but the doctors wouldn't let her in.
Both Checkmate and Wally were in the hospital as well. Wally was being treated for a concussion and Checkmate for the multiple body damages he had as well. When tests were finished the two were put in a room together.
They were allowed visitors much sooner than Okan was and Kiki was the first one in there. Checkmate was quickly aroused by her presence and she stayed and comforted him while Wally still had not woken up.
Kid Muscle and Roxanne eventually came by to visit.
"Hey." Said Kid poking his head into the room and saw Checkmate in his bed with Kiki laid out next to him.
"Kid Muscle." Said Checkmate from his bed." Enter my friend."
"How are you feeling?" asked Kid as he and Roxanne entered and walked across the room.
"Much better sir Muscle." Replied Checkmate." Now that you are here. There is something you must do for me." At this point Roxanne went over next to Kiki.
"How's he doing?" she whispered to Kiki.
"Better now." Whispered Kiki." I don't think he's totally accepted losing. He's been cleared to leave but says he won't move until Wally's awake." Roxanne turned and noticed the sleeping Walrus in the bed behind her.
"What's that?" asked Kid to Checkmate.
"You must triumph." Said Checkmate as he held a fist in the air." Triumph where Wally and I have failed." Kid turned his gaze over to Wally before turning back to Checkmate.
Then Kid reached across the room and grabbed Checkmate's hand." It's a promise." He said as he gripped Checkmate's hand. Checkmate replied with his own firm grip and a smile." Come on Roxanne." Said Kid as he turned." Let's let them get some rest."
Roxanne turned and left with Kid but not before saying "If you need anything just ask" to them on their way out.
The two nodded and then Kid and Roxanne left. However in the aftermath of their leaving Wally began to stir.
Checkmate and Kiki turned to him with great surprise and concern. Wally rolled his head over and opened his eyes and saw Checkmate sitting up in his bed looking at him and Kiki standing close by.
"Checkmate, Kiki." Groaned Wally.
"Tis fine Wally." Said Checkmate. "We're here."
"The match." Groaned Wally." THE MATCH!" he yelled as he sat up but stopped as a pain shot up his back and held him back." The match we-"
"It's okay." Assured Kiki as she stepped forward and reassured Wally." The Match is over, it's been over for a few hours now."
"Then that means." Groaned Wally." That means we lost."
"Now Wally it's okay." Said Kiki turning down to him." You fought your best and nobody could ask more of you than that."
"Checkmate." Said Wally turning to him with tears forming in his eyes." I'm sorry, I'm so sorry we couldn't win." He would have said more but then Checkmate spoke up.
"Say no more my friend." Said Checkmate. Wally stopped and looked across at Checkmate." You were blindsided by our enemy because you choose to help me. I admire your courage and friendship much more than winning."
Wally turned and looked as Kiki held his hand in both of her's," Thank you." She said and then she kissed his hand.
"Okay." Said Wally as he turned from Kiki to Checkmate with a smile.
"Would thou carest to play some chess?" asked Checkmate.
At that time Fiona walked past their door and made her way to Okan's which was right next door. She stood before the door a fresh bandage on her once bleeding nose. She knocked on the door and then opened it and came to a frightening sight.
Despite the doctor's orders for her not to leave Okan got up and jumped out the window making an escape. Fiona saw the open window and quickly went after her, turning and running down the hallway.
Kid and Roxanne made their exit from the Hospital and when they did they walked out into the hallway.
"You think they'll be okay?" asked Roxanne.
"They'll be fine." Replied Kid solemnly. But his eyes scanned the area around him.
"What is it Kid?" asked Roxanne as she noticed him looking around and she looked with him.
"I've made Checkmate a promise and now I have to keep it." Said Kid. Then he turned and walked off. Roxanne was confused by this and wanted to go after him but she knew he was on a mission now and there was no point to stand in his way. So she turned and went to their room knowing he would return later.
Meanwhile Jeager was off looking for Terry. He had not seen him since he disappeared with Trixie the night before. He had expected to see him at the match today but he hadn't, so now Jeager was on the hunt. So he began searching all over the hotel they were staying at.
Eventually he found him sitting at a table in the restaurant with Trixie.
"Terry." He said as he finally saw him." Vhere you are." Then he walked up towards him.
"Jeager." Said Terry looking at his approaching friend." What's going on good buddy?" Then he stood up and put his hands on Jeager's shoulders.
"Vhe match today." Said Jeager." Did vou see it?"
"I saw." Replied Terry." From that there TV." He turned and pointed to the TV just across from his table." And I also saw you in the front row." Then he stood back and looked Jeager over." Your forehead also looks a lot bigger on TV."
"Terry vis is serious." Said Jeager reaching out and shaking him by his shoulders." Vhat are we going to do about our next match?!"
"I'll tell you what you're going to do." Said Trixie as she quickly got up and jumped between the two." You two are going to go in there tomorrow, fight those two dirt bags and you're going to kick seven shades of shit out of them." As she spoke she grabbed onto the two and held them tighter every time.
"Sounds like a plan baby girl." Said Terry as he looked down at her. Then he leaned down and kissed Trixie passionately on the lips.
"So vhat's vhat you've been doing all day?" asked Jeager.
Meanwhile in the parking lot.
Fiona had arrived in the parking lot and was looking around frantically for Okan. She was attracted to the sound of footsteps as they echoed in the parking lot.
Fiona turned and then saw a lone figure making their way to the exit. Fiona quickly gave chase shouting 'Okan' as she did.
However the figure gave no reply until Fiona came and stood behind her, then the figure stopped and turned to her. And it was Okan.
"Okan." Panted Fiona." Where are you going?"
"Home." Replied Okan." There's nothing left for me here."
"What do you mean?" asked Fiona as she took a step closer." We're tag-partners aren't we, we're friends right?" Then she took another step and held her hand out but Okan quickly swatted it away.
"NO." she said upon doing so." We're not friends. Friends don't stand by as their friends get bashed and tossed around the ring."
"But it wasn't my fault." Plead Fiona a squeak in her voice." I was blindsided there was nothing I could do. And when I finally could the match was over." Okan rolled her eyes and turned her body preparing to leave." Please don't tell me this is over." Said Fiona as she began to cry.
"Goodbye Fiona." Said Okan as she turned around fully her back facing Fiona. Then she turned and walked off.
Fiona then fell to the ground and cried, now she was alone.
From the outside of the hotel Kevin looked from afar and saw Okan making her exit. Kevin stood atop his motorcycle and observed his surroundings. He noticed the dark night sky above him, and all around he could see people leaving heading for home. The night however was dreary and very dark.
Then Kevin bent down and stared up his bike.
"Kevin!" called a voice. Kevin turned over to see Kid Muscle running over to him and shouting his name." Kevin where are you going?" he asked as he came and stood next to him.
"Hotel most likely." Replied Kevin." Get a good night's sleep. I'd recommend you do the same." He added nodding to Kid." No 'relations' tonight."
"Right." Said Kid with a nod." What do you think our chances are tomorrow?" Kid asked after a silence.
Kevin looked to the ground and sighed." It'll be tough Muscle." He said with a nod." Your friends were no pushovers so those fish men must be very strong."
"I would have preferred to wrestle my friends in the next fight." Said Kid." But this competitions getting to everyone I guess." The Tournament's been dwindling from the beginning, the winners advance and the losers leave. The two looked out and saw the crowd dispersing for the night, amongst them they could see Okan. "I guess there's two kinds in the world Kevin." Said Kid as he thought it all over." People who move, people who stay. Ain't that true?"
"No that ain't true." Replied Kevin with his head shaking.
"Well what's true?" asked Kid looking up at him.
"Well there's two kinds of people. Them going somewhere, and them going nowhere." Kevin told as he looked up at the sky." And that's what's true."
"I don't agree Kevin." Said Kid looking away from him.
"That's cause you don't know what the hell I'm talking about." Said Kevin turning and looking at him, forcing Kid to look back at him." I'm an ex citizen nowhere, sometimes I get mighty homesick." Then with that Kevin started up his bike and drove off into the night.
Meanwhile Fiona was out for a drive. After losing her best friend and tag partner she shut down and became hysterical.
She got in her car and began driving for hours, not really knowing where she was going but she needed to go somewhere to escape her pain. But she would have no idea where this night would take her.
So she drove off, hysterically crying behind the wheel of her car. She looked out her window and saw the sky's began to darkened and then there was a rumbling of thunder followed by a flash of lighting. Her eyes filled with tears continued to blur the road and the flash of lighting only scarred her more.
In her hysterical state Fiona had not expected it and violently jerked at the wheel. But when she did she drove off the road and into a tree. The airbag quickly inflated and protected her from any damage, then began to deflate before her.
Her car had smashed head on into a tree and she confirmed this thought by leaned forward and looking through her broken windshield. She felt fine, just really tired and really shaken up. So then she rested her head back and felt like she was nodding off.
Her head rolled to the side and she could barely make something out. She was a small, run-down, wooden building. She didn't really care as she rested her head back but then she was jerked back to life as she heard the sound of her car door clicking open. She turned her eyes over and then saw the door being ripped off its hinges and then tossed aside like a piece of paper. Then two giant gloved hands reached into the car and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Who the bloody hell do you think you are?" asked a voice. And then Fiona was violently jerked out of her car and held in the air by her assailant. "Oh it's you." The voice grumbled. Fiona was then lifted softly to the ground and placed on her feet. Then she looked up and saw Kevin Mask standing before her.
"K-Kevin Mask." She said in a soft voice looking up at him.
"I hope you have insurance." Kevin replied. Fiona was confused and her face showed it. Kevin extended his arm and pointed a long finger to the ground. Fiona turned around and saw that when she swerved off the road she had hit a motorcycle, Kevin's motorcycle. Fiona turned back and faced Kevin more even more distraught than before." What were you even doing out here driving in the middle of the night?" asked Kevin sternly. Fiona only began to feel worse and worse about everything as he continued to speak and was getting close to her breaking point." That's completely irresponsible and now you've destroyed my bike and-" Kevin stopped as something completely unexpected happened.
In the middle of his rant Fiona jumped forward and wrapped her arms around Kevin, burying her face in his chest and began crying. Her cries muffled from his shirt.
Kevin sagged his shoulders back and looked down at her confused, surely this wasn't supposed to happen. He then tried to reached back and remove her arms from him but found out that when he did she only held on tighter.
"I just wanted a quiet night." She cried, her warm breath seeping through Kevin's shirt and onto his skin." It's because of me." She continued." It's my fault. It's my fault we lost."
With her cries being muffled Kevin could hardly make them out. And with limited skill in the matters of crying women he didn't really know what to do. Right now he would prefer to have Kid Muscle here, surely he could have helped. He cleared his throat to try and get her attention, but she didn't appear to have heard him and continued to cry. But Kevin decided he should try and do something .He darted his eyes left and right and once he'd determined nobody was around he went ahead with his idea. He didn't normally do this thing but he knew some people felt comfort from it, and nobody was around to see him do it.
Kevin then cleared his throat." There now lass." He said in a voice as soft and kind as he could make." It's alright, it's alright." Then Kevin stretched out his arms and put them around Fiona.
Fiona felt nothing but the cold night air against her back but then she suddenly found herself wrapped in some warm cocoon. She darted her head up and saw her head buried in Kevin's chest and when she looked up she saw his masked face looking down at her.
"Come on." Said Kevin as changed his voice back to normal. He turned to her side and began shuffling her along." There's a phone inside, we'll call you a taxi and get you to your hotel." Fiona said nothing as Kevin walked with her. But then her attention was caught by the sound of more thunder that frightened her even more and she latched onto Kevin for more support. Then following the thunder was rain. The rain did not bother Kevin but he could feel Fiona shivering next to him. So Kevin picked up his jacket and held it over her, protecting her from the rain and the cold until they got inside.
Fiona looked up and saw the establishment they were about to enter was a bar. In fact it was the bar Kid Muscle had found Kevin at earlier.
On his way back to his hotel Kevin had decided to stop by for a quick drink unaware of where it would take him.
The two entered the bar and Kevin took Fiona out from under his jacket. Fiona looked around and noticed that nobody was around, except for the bartender. She watched as Kevin began to pace around the room as if looking for something. Before she could ask Kevin came walking back to her with a chair in his hands.
"Sit down." He said placing the chair before her. She did as she was told and sat down, still shivering from the night's cold air.
Then Kevin turned and walked up to the bar. He then casually jumped behind the counter, frightening the bartender off. Then Kevin reached down and grabbed a bottle.
Fiona leaned back in her chair feeling more distraught now than ever as a sickening feeling came over her.
"Drink this." Said Kevin suddenly as he stood over her. Fiona was brought back to life as she suddenly shot up and he pushed a bottle into her hands.
"What is-"
"It will help numb the pain and bring you out of shock." Kevin told before turning away from her. Fiona turned her attention to the bottle and opened it while Kevin jumped over the bar, picked up the phone and began to dial. But he was distracted from the ringing as he heard the sound of violent coughing from behind him. Kevin jerked his head around to see Fiona kneeled over in her seat coughing." Be careful with that!" called Kevin.
"Hello." Said a voice on the phone that caught Kevin's attention.
"Hello." He replied turning his attention back to the phone." I'd like to order a taxi please."
Fiona all the while had stopped coughing and now looked down at the bottle of whiskey in her hands behind watery eyes. Then she cocked her head back and drank some more, finding it much more enjoyable now.
Kevin had finished his call and was had now dialed a second number.
"Would you like it towed sir?" asked the voice on the other end.
"Yes." Replied Kevin." Just get it to your nearest shop; I'll pick it up in the morning."
"Alright sir." Said the voice on the other end." Have a good night sir." Kevin let out a sigh and did not reply but instead hung up the phone. Then he turned around and saw Fiona with her head dipped back and the bottle to her lips." Oh no." he groaned. Then he jumped over the counter and ran over to her.
Fiona had been enjoying herself but then she found herself being jerked forward and saw Kevin standing over her once more.
"Kevin Mask." She said as she pointed up at him in an innocent and slurred voice.
"Yes, well perhaps that's enough of that." Said Kevin as he reached down and grabbed the bottle in one hand. But as he went to pull Fiona tightened her grip and looked up at him menacingly. Kevin looked down at her confused.
"Mine." She said. But with no extra effort on his part Kevin pulled the bottle from Fiona's hands. She reached out and tried to grab it back but failed as Kevin put the bottle into his coat pocket. She tried to stand up but only managed to fall back in her chair and burp.
Kevin shuddered and turned his attention away from her." The taxi is on its way." He said turning back to her. He studied her over the next few minutes as her head bobbed from side to side while she sat there, looking half-awake. Kevin could only ponder how he'd gotten into this mess, but assured himself it would be over soon.
Kevin then turned his attention outside and saw lights shining, he looked out the window and saw a taxi pulling up.
"Thank God." He said. Then he bent down and grabbed Fiona by her arm and yanked her up." Let's go." Then he started dragging her outside and into the taxi.
He dragged her outside and opened the backdoor and then threw her inside and slammed the door behind her. Then he jumped into the passenger's seat next to the driver. Then he ordered the driver to the hotel where all the muscle leaguers were staying and they were off.
As they pulled out of the parking lot Fiona turned her head out the window and saw her destroyed car and Kevin's bike being left behind. Then Fiona turned her attention forward and looked ahead of her. She looked into the front of the car and found her eyes locked with Kevin's yellow ones, he had flipped down his visor and was now watching her in the mirror. She moved forward to talk to him but Kevin quickly flipped up hid visor and bent his hand down and turned on the radio.
A soft song came on with a piano playing and a woman's voice singing. 'Picture Perfect Memories scattered all around the floor.' Fiona turned and put her head out the window, looking at all the different buildings they passed. Kevin adjusted his seat and continued looking at her.'Reaching for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore'.
But then the taxi pulled up to the hotel where all the other Muscle Leaguers were staying. Kevin exited the car and went to the back door and opened it up. The song playing even louder as he stepped outside. 'It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.'
Kevin opened up the backdoor and saw Fiona lay across the seat.
"C'mon." he said as he reached in and grabbed her. Then he picked her up and stood her outside." Right now, be on your way."
Fiona stumbled off and walked to the hotel entrance. Kevin watched her go and once he was sure she could walk he turned back to the taxi driver.
"Now I'd like to-" he began but stopped as the Taxi driver pointed behind Kevin. The Masked man turned around and saw Fiona standing there." What?" he asked her confused.
"It's locked." Said Fiona turning and pointing to the door of the hotel.
"So open it." Said Kevin. "Use your key." She only hung head in reply." You do have a key don't you?"
"Yes I do."
"Well where is it?"
"On my keychain."
"And that is where?" asked Kevin.
"In my car." Replied Fiona innocently. Kevin let out a long sigh before he rushed over and grabbed Fiona, bringing her back to the taxi and threw her into the back seat again and then he returned to the front seat."Where are we going?" she asked as she sat up.
"To get your keys." Said Kevin. Then the driver drove off and back to the bar. Kevin was now somewhat annoyed, indicated by the tapping of his fingers against his arm and the song was still playing.
'Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door.' Sang a man this time.'Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.'
Now the taxi driver pulled up next to the wreckage of the car crash in the bar. Kevin quickly leaped out of the taxi and ran to the mangled car.
'And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.' Sang the man and the woman on the radio. 'For me it happens all the time'. Sang the man. Fiona sat back and bobbed her head to the tune of the song. But then it was interrupted as Kevin jumped back into the car and slammed the door behind him. Then he turned back and tossed the keys to Fiona, it hit her in the head and fell to the floor.'It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.'
Then the taxi was off and as they left Kevin saw a tow-truck coming in to take the mangled car and his bike away. But now Fiona had retrieved her keys from the ground and on the keychain were two keys. One for the car and the other was a spare house key, her room key was locked in her room. She looked up at Kevin who was not looking at her in the mirror this time. She had the feeling he was about to get much angrier.
'And I don't know how I can do without, I just Need You Now' sand the radio.
So they traveled back to the hotel and once again Kevin pulled Fiona out of the backseat and onto her feet, then closed the door behind her. She faltered when she tried to walk so Kevin bent down and picked her up and brought her to the doors of the hotel. Once she was on the ground she fidgeted with the keys in her hands. Clumsily but carefully trying to separate the two with her hands.
"Give me the key." Kevin said as they stood before the door. Fiona gave Kevin the keys no questions asked, he took them and then began to try and open the door.
Fiona shut her eyes as she heard Kevin put one key into the hotel door and then the second. She bit her lips as she didn't hear either of the doors open.
"Fiona." Said Kevin causing her to open one eye and look at him. He was hunched over the door, keys in one hand." Neither of these work. Where's the hotel key?"
"In my room." Fiona said with a cheap smile and a shrug of her shoulders. Kevin dropped the keys to the ground, remaining silent for several moments he looked Fiona over.
"Alright then." He said as he stood up. And then he walked past her grabbing onto her arm and dragging her back to the taxi." Come on then."
"But where are we going?" asked Fiona as she was being dragged.
"To my hotel." Replied Kevin." I'm sure they'll have an extra room." Then he opened the door and shuffled Fiona inside before returning to his own seat.
Then Kevin sat down and the taxi was off. Then to Kevin's great annoyance the song was still playing.
'Yes I'd rather hurt than feeling nothing at all.' They both sang. It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I Need You Now.' Sang the woman.' And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I Need You Now.' Sang the man.
"That's quite enough of that." Said Kevin and then he violently turned the radio off.
"Oh." Came a moaning from the back that made Kevin's head shake." Why'd you turn it off?" asked Fiona as she leaned forward." I like that song."
"Well I don't." replied Kevin not turning around to look at her.
"But it's kind of like us right now." Said Fiona and that comment made Kevin's eyes bust open. Then Fiona leaned back with a smile." It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I Need You Now." She sang drunkenly. Kevin just tapped his fingers along his arm in annoyance." Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I Need You Now-"
"Pothole." Said Kevin pointing it out to the taxi driver. Then the driver sped up and ran into the pothole. Fiona's song was interrupted as she bounced up and hit her head against the roof of the taxi. Kevin turned down his visor and saw that Fiona now sat back quietly rubbing the back of her head. And then everything was quiet just to Kevin's liking.
But in the silence Fiona decided to think. She wondered what hotel Kevin would be staying at. She'd never seen him at the one she was staying at, despite his teaming with Kid Muscle. And she did just find him in that rundown old bar, so any hotel he could be staying at couldn't be any better.
Then as she completed her thought the taxi came to a halt. Then her door was opened and Kevin stood there. He reached in and pulled her out like he'd done so many times tonight. Then he turned to the taxi driver while she turned to the hotel before them, and it was nothing like she expected.
It was a large castle, fit with towers, giant golden doors, stonework and everything.
"It's a castle!" she exclaimed.
"Very observant of you." Said Kevin as he leaned on the hood of the taxi half-facing her. In his hand was his wallet and then he turned and handed the taxi driver some money." Thank you." He said handing it over.
"No problem, sir." Replied the driver." You have a good night."
"I certainly hope so." Replied Kevin." My night needs some picking up."
"Well." Said the driver as he glanced over at Fiona." You could always take her and." He leaned in and whispered." Well you know."
Kevin was confused at first but then he looked over to Fiona and the idea came over him. Then he turned back to the taxi driver abruptly who was nodding to him.
Kevin began to growl which immediately frightened the little man. Then the taxi driver turned on his engines and prepared to drive off as Kevin prepared to attack.
Then the taxi drove off but not before Kevin kicked out his leg, denting the back of the taxi. Then after it had drove off Kevin adjusted his jacket, turned and walked towards his hotel. He stopped as he realized Fiona was not with him and he turned to see her still standing in awe at the place.
"Are you coming?" he asked.
"Yes." Replied Fiona. Then she shuffled as fast as she could to meet up with Kevin. Kevin was at the large golden doors and held it open for her.
Fiona was at awe of the whole thing and took her time upon entering. The ceiling was painted with medieval European art. She took it all in but was taken out of it as Kevin gave her a shove to hurry her along. The shove was good as she used the momentum to get to the top of the steps, laughing as if it was a game. But when she got to the middle steps she began to falter and tip over. But Kevin was right behind her and reached out pressing his hand against her back catching her.
"Try not to act drunk." He said. Then he gave her another push and sent her over the steps and into the lobby.
Fiona then walked into the lobby, taken in as much with it as she had with the golden doors. But in her distractions and her tipsy state she tripped over herself. But this time she was able to catch herself, this time putting her hands on the ground. Kevin came up behind the steps following her but then stopped as she was bent over in front of him. Fiona began to sway her hips as she tried to balance herself and stand up. Kevin stood there for several moments hoping she'd move, but then Kevin walked around her just as she was standing up right, he walked up to the reception desk.
"Good evening ." said the man there.
"Evening." Replied Kevin." Do you have any rooms to spare?" he asked." For her." He added pointing over his shoulder. Fiona at this point had fallen over and was curled up into a ball and brushing herself against the soft feeling of the red rug. Kevin turned from her and back to the man behind the desk." Just for tonight." He added.
"I'm sorry sir." Said the man." But we're all booked."
"Come again?" said Kevin as he leaned forward in disbelief.
"We have no rooms available." Was the reply. "We're all booked." Kevin turned to Fiona who was rolling around singing that song to herself. Kevin strummed his fingers along the desk before turning and facing the man again.
"Have you any other place for her to stay?"
"I'm afraid not sir."
"Don't you have staff sleeping quarters?" asked Kevin." Can't she stay there?"
"I'm afraid not, Mr. Mask." Kevin rolled his head and turned over to Fiona. She was now crawling around in a circle still singing that song.
"Very well." Sighed Kevin." I suppose I'll just take her."
"As you wish." Said the receptionist. Then Kevin turned and walked over to Fiona who was still crawling around.
"Come on you." Said Kevin as he stood over her.
"It's a quarter after one." She sang." I'm a little drunk and I Need You Now."
"Come one get up." Said Kevin as reached down and grabbed at her.
"Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I Need You Now." She continued oblivious to his presence. Kevin growled as he struggled to get her to her feet. When he grabbed her around her stomach she would just go limp in his arms and fall over again. He grabbed her arms but then she would just twist out of his grip." And I don't know how I can do without I just Need You Now!"
"Oh to Hell with this." Said Kevin annoyed with fighting against her. Then he swung Fiona forward, crouching down to catch her on his shoulders. Then he lifted her up and began walking off.
"Good Night Mr. Mask." Said the receptionist.
"Good Night, sir." Replied Fiona from over Kevin's shoulder in an awful impersonation of Kevin's voice." But the Prince is taking the princess into his castle."
"Shut up!" called Kevin then he jerked his shoulder causing her to shriek and wiggle her body.
"Oh am I more like the damsel in distress and you're the monster?" asked Fiona as she turned to Kevin as best she could." Are you going to take me and ravage me?" Kevin faltered for a moment as he stumbled up the steps. He reached out his arm and grabbed the railing. Fiona found that fairly amusing.
So Fiona then began to giggle as she rocked her body back and forth faltering Kevin's center of balance even further.
"No, no, no." grumbled Kevin as he reached onto the railing and pulled himself up further to the top of the steps. Then he reached the top of the steps with Fiona laughing and fidgeting the whole way.
Kevin began to walk further but then felt something strange going into his hair. He cocked his head slightly and saw Fiona running her hands in his hair.
"You have very pretty hair Kevin." She said as she did so. Kevin's reply was a grunt." It looks almost exactly like mine." She said pulling her own hair and putting it next to Kevin's for comparison." You should let me braid it for you." Kevin's body only became more and more tense as he continued walking on to his room. At one point Fiona stuck his hair into her mouth and began chewing on it.
But then luckily for Kevin they had reached his room. He flashed his room key, kicked open the door and tossed Fiona across the room where she landed on the king sized bed.
She giggled as she flew across the room and landed on the soft mattress, of which there was only one.
"That was fun." She giggled as she sat up." Do it again." But Kevin just walked past her grabbing at a lone pillow and blanket." Where are you going?" asked Fiona confused.
"You will sleep here." Said Kevin pointing to the bed she was in." And I will sleep over there." He pointed across the room to a couch up against the wall. Then without any delay Kevin turned and walked over to the couch.
Fiona had no objections and lay back against the soft mattress. Time passed and the night just kept getting darker and darker, but Fiona couldn't sleep. Something inside of her was forcing her not too.
She lifted her head off the pillow and looked across the room. There using the moonlight that shined into the room she could make out Kevin's large figure on the couch. He was much too big for it as his arms and legs dangled off both edges.
He had been very kind to her this evening. He had taken her in when she needed help, mostly from herself. He'd made sure she was okay, escorted her to her hotel and then to his own, even offering her his own bed. Whether he'd admit it or not he was a friend to her when she needed it most. And this whole night all she had done was cause him problems.
But now she decided she would return the favor, she would at least let Kevin sleep in his own bed. So then Fiona threw the blanket off of herself and landed on the floor, unsuccessfully at first as she fell to the ground with a quiet 'Oof." But then she picked herself up and made her way over to the couch.
She looked down and saw Kevin's sleeping figure, she knew he was because his eyes were shut. So then Fiona bent down and lifted one of his arms over her shoulder, then she grabbed his body and supported him with her other arm.
Fiona had some difficulty in carrying the larger man across the room, she hadn't imaged he'd be so heavy. But she carried on.
Then she began walking across the room carrying or rather dragging him as they went. His body mostly covered hers, his arms so long they dangled past her and brushed his hands against the floor.
But she managed to drag him across the floor and make it back to the bed. Then she turned over and placed him on it. Kevin did not stir the whole time, he was still deep in his sleep. Then Fiona turned down and went at his boots.
She undid the lacing and pulled off his boots, discarding them to the floor. Then she moved up and pulled his long trench coat off his shoulders and then tossed it off to the floor. Then lastly she put the blanket over him covering his body.
Then lastly she got into bed next to him, his much larger frame dwarfing hers as she got under the blanket and snuggled next to him. Then she took his right arm and put it around herself, adding some extra warmth. Then she sang softly to herself.
"Oh baby I Need You Now."
Note: The Song is 'Need You Now' by Lady Antebellum.
