Dislcaimer: I didn't steal these characters... nope. They don't belong to me, and they never will. I'm just the twisted author who uses them, dropping them into situations they would never normally be in.

EPISODE TWO- PART ONE
"WHY CAN'T YOU treat me better?" Samus practically shouted at him. "I really don't get why I have to be the one who takes all your abuse then does all your chores without question. Isn't that time period in history over? Girls are supposed to be equals to guys now, aren't they?"
For a moment, it looked as if Falcon was finally going to take her seriously. His thin lips held their straight position for a minute, then split into a wicked smile. Laughter followed closely. "You can't be serious, babe!" He said between laughs. "You're my girl, that's how you're supposed to act. It's the way the Blue Falcons work."
Link and Mario, standing behind him, both looked as though they wanted to argue. But to argue with Falcon was to say that you were against the Blue Falcons. Either of them would be out of the gang in an instant, and their replacements would be more than happy to beat them up under their captain's orders. Both kept straight faced until Zelda gave Link one of her more meaningful looks.
"No," he spoke up, surprising all there except his girlfriend. "That's not how the Blue Falcons work. We treat those close to us with love, and those against us with hatred. I would never in my life even dream of treating Zelda the way you treat Samus." As he spoke, he left Falcon and took his place beside the princess. "She's more than a girl to me. I don't date her just to have the most beautiful girl in school by my side. Our relationship is about deep down feelings of love. We've built trust and respect along with it."
A look of fury passed Falcon's face. He quickly covered it up and turned to face Mario. "Let me guess, you want to give me the same lecture on deep love?" He said irritantly.
"Oh-a no." Mario quickly said. "But-a still. I had-a better get-a back to Peach. I-a don't know where she-a is."
"I do." Zelda said. "I can take you to her." She and Link left the group with Mario and without taking a look back. Samus's heart sank on the spot, her best friend had left her alone with Falcon.
That is, almost alone. The figure of Fox still stood behind her, placing his hand on her shoulder for reassurance. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I'm still here for you."
"And aside from that, Falcon," Samus started, somehow heartened by Fox's backing her up. "Fox McCloud is not a loser. He can see how you're supposed to treat a girl, unlike you! I'd much rather be with him than you."
"Well, then, we'll see what I can do about that."
"WILL YOU HELP me? I can't save myself from him, and Mario's never around to help me anymore. I'm just a helpless princess!" Peach looked hopefully up at Mewtwo, then lowered her head at his serious stare. "You're not going to do it, are you?"
I never said that. I can see how desperate you seem, but I don't believe there is anything I can do. Even my psychic powers have their limits. The Pokémon took a pause to aim his Shadow Ball at one of the targets. It hit to the side of the bulls-eye, which he felt proved his point. I am no protector, I can only fight my best against my fellow Pokémon.
"Just help me get to school. From there, I can get Mario or Luigi to help me. Bowser's not allowed at the school anyway."
I truly am sorry, I cannot be your escort. My powers are already weak from battles and training. I- I know what can protect you. Mewtwo's face twisted into a look of painful concentration, and he seemed to glow blue around the edges. There is a friend I have who would be more than happy to help you out. Out of the back scampered a little yellow mouse.
"Pikachu?" It asked, looking up between Mewtwo and Peach.
This is the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach. Mewtwo explained to it. Can you be her partner for a while and protect her from the evil Koopa king Bowser?
The little mouse, with a determined look about its face, nodded and hopped into Peach's arms. "Pika!"
It's name is Pikachu. Even though he's small, he's very brave and he'll keep you as safe as he possibly can.
"Thank you, Mewtwo." Peach said with a short bow. "I am in your debt."
"Hey-a look! It's Princess-a Peach. What are you-a doing here? And on a school-a morning?" Peach cocked her head towards the door, hoping to find Mario. It was only Luigi, though. "And-a who are you-a with?"
"Oh, Luigi, I'm so glad to see you!" Peach ran to her boyfriend's brother and peered cautiously into the street behind him, as though expecting to find Bowser standing behind him. Luigi was, if anything, a little cowardly in the face of danger. "That is-" she turned to point out Mewtwo, but the Pokémon was gone. "Well, this is Pikachu."
"Pika, pikachu!" The mouse said happily, jumping down from Peach's arms to sniff Luigi's pant leg.
"Well-a, I think we had-a better get-a to school." Luigi said. Once Pikachu was convinced that Luigi didn't smell like a threat to Peach, the three of them left the APC and went on their way to school.

It looks like Peach's problems are over for now, but Samus's are just beginning. How could Zelda just leave her like that? And what is Falcon going to do? Stay tuned after the commercial break to find out!
