Both Mario and Pit were in the Dining room, Sitting by the long table. Mario was wearing more casual clothing. A red shirt with flames on the end of them, Black shorts with red lines going down the side and Black sandals. Seemed more child-like than casual. "So do you know what she has prepared?"

Pit was sitting in a corner across from Mario, A bit nervous about what Palutena was doing in the kitchen. "I-i didn't bother to ask her…" He hoped there would be a repeat of what happened the last time she cooked. All those sentient fruits and Vegetables wrecking havoc again would ruin everything. He was preparing to get up and see what was going on in the kitchen but suddenly Palutena came through the door wearing chef's whites. She had the hat and everything.

She stepped to the side and a group of Centurions dressed in Chef white came flying through with Cloche Covered plateware. They placed them in dozens across the table. Palutena didn't say anything, her face was covered in condiments and flowers. She approached the table, Standing at the other end of it. His head lowered, remaining silent. Things became very tense within that moment but the atmosphere was blown away from Her sudden change in mood. She shot her head up with a bright smile. "Bon appetit!!!" She cheered as the Centurions pulled the Cloches off of their respective plates, Revealing an assortment of Delicious Delectable Delicacy.

Both Mario and Pits jaw Drops at the sight of food laid across the table. "W-woah…" the two said. Completely synchronized with one another.

Her cheerful grin turned into a smug filled smile. She turned her head and pointed her nose to the ceiling. "Did you expect anything from the Goddess of light?" She laughed into the back of her hand.

Mario and Pit ignored her and began Chowing down immediately. The dinner had a variety of Foods, Meats, Veggies, Fruits and Seafood. The side Mario and Pit were sitting at had all the appetizers, The middle had the actual dinner while the very end of the table had the desserts. The two had already made it halfway through the appetizers. "Thanks for the food!" The two cheered, Once again synchronized in speech.

Palutena watched as they tore through dinner in astonishment. She understood Pit, after all he was an angel. So naturally, he'd have a bigger appetite. Mario however was a Mortal, yet he was surpassing Pit In food consumption. Within 15 minutes, the two had eaten everything. "T-that was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen…" This was the only response she could give the two. While yes, she did make a big dinner, she didn't expect them to massacre it in such a short time.

Mario let out a large belch with a stuffed gut. "Wooooh! What a good pig out!" He leaned back in his chair. "Your Mom really knows how to cook!"

Pits had his chin resting on the table with his eyes closed. "Mom?" He opened an eye and looked at Mario in confusion. "She's not my Mo-Urp!" Pits sentence was interrupted by his own belch.

Palutena was even more disgusted by the two. "You can at least say excuse me…" She snapped her fingers and the Centurions cleaned off the table and removed all of the plates and Silverware. "Well I'm glad the two of you enjoyed what I've prepared…" she followed her Centurions out, leaving Pit and Mario alone.

Pit felt good about himself. Someone like Mario, Eating just like him. Stuffing their faces full of food. It's good to know someone like Mario has Equally poor table Manners. "Heh."

Mario's bloated stomach began going down, Eventually he had returned to normal. "So what were those little guys with wings?"

Pit's stomach had also gone down. "You mean the Centurions? Their angels, just like me… We all defend Skyworld and try to keep the Goddess Palutena safe." He sat up and looked towards the ceiling. "We all work hard for her, Carrying out missions, doing tasks, Maintaining the beauty of the Sky, light and Guide humanity on the right path of justice." Pit then raised his hand to the sky and grasped the air.

Mario watched as Pit became dramatic in his explanation. "...So they help you in your missions?"

The angel lowered his hands and rubbed the back of his head. "Hehe… not exactly… they mean well but they aren't exactly battle hardened…" He looked around to make sure no one was listening and went over to Mario to whisper in his ear. "Most of them are massive pushovers… even with the training I've been giving them…"

Mario went into his thoughts and began placing the baby sized angels against some of his more fearsome does. It was a no-brainer that their size and stature made them look as threatening as a infant wearing a plastic knight outfit but he somewhat hoped they were capable in some capacity. After a bit of thinking, he decides it wasn't his place to judge.

Seeing how dinner was done and Pit didn't have much to plan for now, he decided it was time to get to know Mario as a person. So far, he's only asked the plumber about his adventures. "...So what was life like before you came to the mushroom kingdom?"

The question registered quickly in the red capped crusader's head. "...Boring…"

"...is that all you have to say?" He was expecting a little bit more from him.

"Well what can I say? We somehow ended up in Brooklyn, raised by normal folk and then a few years later, we're back in the mushroom kingdom… well that isn't the whole story… I was a doctor then a carpenter…"

Pit of course knew Mario was a doctor. Seeing as though Mario felt like his time on earth wasn't important, he didn't press him any further on the matter. The two sat in the dining hall silently, until. "WAIT AN ANGEL FEATHER MINUTE!!!"

Mario fell back in his seat and smacked the back of his head across the floor. "AH!!!"

Pit was too distracted by his realization to help the plumber. "You and doc are two seperate people!"

Mario stood up and fixed his seat. "Yeah? What about it?"

"How!?" He slammed his hand against the table, demanding an explanation. "Is he from another universe!? Is he the secret third brother!? A Clone gone rogue!? An evil dopplega-"

Mario had gone over to Pit and pinched his mouth shut. "Stop asking questions and I'll tell you!!!"

Pit grunted through his closed mouth. "Mphm…"

"Are you calm?" Mario asked, making sure he wouldn't berated by an onslaught of questions.

Pit nodded in response and grunted once more.

"Alright…" Mario let Pits lip go and sat back down. "... He's actually a rogue persona…" Pit tilted his head in confusion and was about to respond. "No! Not like Joker!" Mario quickly answered. "Doc manifested from a science experiment gone wrong with egad… when my bro first saved me from the painting, his machine had malfunctioned and divided my mind in too… kinda…"

"...So doc is technically a clone?" Pit said looking rather confused.

"No… he's more like another me… everything in him came from me and I no longer have access to any medical knowledge… according to my bro, I've also been acting more reckless recently…" Mario leaned back in the chair and propped his feet up on the table.

"Wow… so you lost some of your memory?..." Pit leaned forward and rested his chin in his hand.

Mario simply nods in response to his question.

Pit wanted to ask more questions about doc but decided to leave them be for now. He had other things he wanted to answer. "...Are you and Peach a couple?"

This got a new reaction out of the plumber. He looked at Pit with a flustered gaze and scarlet cheeks. He went silent for a moment, contemplating on whether he should tell the truth but in the end he did provide an answer. "...N-no…"

Pit gasped loudly at the revelation. "WHAT!?" Two secrets revealed in such little time. "But you save the princess and then she kisses you!!!" He slammed his hands on the table again make a bit of noise.

Mario sat up, maintaining his bashful attitude. "Y-yeah… since my adventure around the globe to save her…she said that she wanted to be independent… which is weird because we never announced ourselves as a couple…"

Pit genuinely couldn't believe it. "B-b-but all the magazines! Gossip! The media!?"

"Sorry to burst your bubble but that was for show and publicity… But there was something there… we did… do something's together…" He began playing with his hair a bit. He wanted to move away from the topic.

"...like what?..." The angel scooted closer to his hero, eagerly awaiting him to spill the beans.

Mario opened his mouth to respond but stopped himself. He then found his mind wandering through memories. Peach undoing her dress and presenting her in her underwear to him. His shaky hands moved towards her plump breast, their lips connecting, the warm embrace they shared. Mario then snapped back to reality. "... can't say… Very personal between us…" He averted eye contact as his mind began to fill with moans of the princess.

Pit at this point was invading Mario's personal space. "Are you sure?"

Mario Scooted away. "Yes…"

Pit moved closer. "... Are you really sure you can't tell me?"

He pushed the angel's seat back. "Yes…"

The Angel leaned forward and asked once more. "Are you really, really sure you ca-" Pit was interrupted by Mario throwing a slice of ham directly in Pit's face.

"Yes! Stop asking, I'm not gonna tell you!" He asserted and moved back from the angel again.

Pit sat there with ham in his face and then responded with a thumbs up. "Ok!"

Getting comfortable again, Mario felt as though he could tolerate one last question. "...Anything else you want to ask me?"

Pit ate the ham off of his face and thought about his next question. "...What do you think a good Hero is?"

Mario was a bit surprised. He had assumed that every question was about him and his past but this one was about his opinion. "A good Hero?..." A pretty simple question he felt that answered itself. "A person who helps people no matter what…"

Pit finished off the ham and prodded his fingers. He didn't want that answer, as he came to that conclusion himself. He wanted Mario's genuine input and opinion on what a good hero is. "I've… I've already come to that answer myself, isn't to know your ideals for a hero…"

The plumber was no longer surprised but confused. That was his ideal hero. What could Pit be talking about? Mario didn't respond and began thinking about what the question was asking. What's a good hero? Mario considers himself a good hero. Could it be that he's asking for his own personal resolve? Mario found himself in his mind again, going through memories about what he's been through. There was a constant theme he noticed in his adventures. Wishes, hopes, dreams and friends. "...A good hero is someone who understands the importance of others… the importance of life and friendship…"

Pit sat in his seat diligently listening to the scarlet crusader.

"A good hero is someone who understands that everyone deserves a chance to be happy" He thought about Bowser and how happy the giant turtle looks when he's playing party games. "… but also knows that not everyone deserves to have their wishes granted…'' he then thought about Dimentio and how he had turned his brother into a monster hell bent on destroying creation. "He goes out of his way to ensure that people don't suffer for things out of their control…" He thought about the adventures he had to different worlds and kingdoms, liberating them from Shackles Bowser had placed upon them. "A hero no matter how hard the challenge is… no matter how difficult the journey, always fights for everyone's tomorrow, in hopes that everyone will be happy one day…" and thus, the plumber's speech is concluded.

Pit sat there in silence, looking at the scarlet Hero in awe.

Mario had put himself in a sort of trance with his speech but quickly returned to his senses. "Did that answer your question?"

"That's… So… AWESOME!!!" Pit cheered, taking in Mario's short speech. "I'll do whatever it takes to meet those ideals Mario! I'll be a great Hero just like you!" Pit stood up from his chair and started punching the Air. "Watch out, baddies! A new and improved Pit is on his way!"

"Eh…" Mario watched as Pit's bravado skyrocketed from a simple opinion. With a sigh, he caressed his mustache and leaned back in his seat. "...So any plans before we call it quits for today?"

"Yes, actually!" Sitting back down, Pit did have a few more requests. Luckily there weren't any more questions on Mario's personal life. "Do you think you could train me?"

"Train you?" Mario raised a brow at the idea. He's never been a personal trainer before, he did own two Dojo's but he never actually taught anyone anything. Well, he did teach his brother Luigi how to fight but that's about it. "I don't think I'm up for the task…"

"Please?" The angel requested once more.

"Uh…" it was just training, shouldn't be hard right? The plumber thought to himself.

"Pleeeeeeeease???" Pit begged, pushing the request further.

"I-i don't know buddy…" Mario avoided eye contact to not fall victim to the angels eyes.

Pit stepped out of his seat again and got his knees to beg further. "PLEEEEEEAAAASE!?"

With a sigh of defeat, Mario accepted his request. "Fine, you win… I'll help you out a bit…"

Pit jumped into the air and threw a fist in triumph. "Sweet! I can't wait to see what you have in store!"

Mario couldn't help but smile at Pit. The young angel had energy and charisma. Hopefully, he wouldn't let him down. "Well, that's enough for one day…" He stepped out of his seat, yawning and stretching. "I'm heading to the guest room, if you want to play more video games, you know where to find paisano."

Pit nodded and decided he should head to the armory and select out his kit for tomorrow.

Mario locked his hands behind his head and walked back to his room. He was lost in thought about what he could even help Pit with in terms of combat. The two have fought side by side and even against one another. What on earth could he learn from the plumber? "Oh boy…" he said and then he found himself face first, in something clad in white. "Huh?" He looked up, seeing two sphere-like objects over him. After a moment, he saw the green goddess herself looking down at him. Realizing he was directly under her chest, Mario hopped back bashfully. "Wah!"

Palutena seemed unamused after first but gave the small man a somewhat sinister smile. "Haha~"

This got Mario a bit flustered, he stepped and averted his gaze from. "S-sorry…"

Of course She wasn't mad at him, He was clearly distracted by something but she couldn't pass up the opportunity to tease him. "Oh Fufu~ it's only natural to be flustered when in the presence of a goddess…" She reached for his cheek and gave it a gentle tug.

Mario grunted and politely moved her hand away. "D-don't do that…"

Feeling satisfied by his reaction, She did find him somewhat Cute and understood the attraction. Remove the mustache and Mario was essentially a kidult. "So, how was the meal? Are you having fun with Pit?"

"Yeah, he's a good kid and your cooking was amazing!" He calmed down and smiled in response. The seafood was his favorite.

"Glad to hear, So what exactly do you and Pit have planned for tomorrow?" She crossed her arms and relaxed herself.

"Training apparently…" His eyes wandered elsewhere as he responded. "I really don't know what I could teach him… or if he'd get stronger by sparring with me…"

"I'm sure a Hero renowned such as yourself would rub off a few techniques or ideas onto him… Just have confidence, I'm sure he'll learn a thing or two…"

"Hm… maybe…" Seeing how he had the goddess before him, he did have a question to ask her. "...So is Pit like your son or something?"

"What? No… He's my loyal General… What gave you that idea?"

"Well, you two live in the same place… and from what I heard from him, he thinks very highly of you… for a moment I thought he might be a Mama's Boy… Of course, I'm not one to talk after all… nothing wrong with loving your mama." He smiled and rubbed underneath his nose.

"Well, even if I was his mother, to think I'd let my own child govern over my army is a tad absurd Don't you think?" She uncrossed her arms and walked past Mario. "Anyways, you two have tomorrow… try not to over do anything…"

Mario nodded and left the hallway for his room. He continued thinking about their relationship and certain ideas popped up in his head. He couldn't help but chuckle at the idea that they were a couple. Then again, things seemed a bit Greek around. "Eh, not my place to judge…" he had other things to focus on.

Meanwhile, Pit had selected a few weapons to bring on their training session from a pile. Of course he had his bow and upperdash arm but he wanted to try out some new gear like a staff or a Cannon. There was so much to pick from the pile. Reaching forward, he found a staff that was stuck under some other weaponry. With one hard pull, he yanked out from underneath the pile but soon found himself victim to a weapon avalanche. "Ah!?"

Sorry for the wait~
