The War on N.M.E. Chapter 4
Chapter 4: Rising Sun
Tiff lay in her bed silently. All she had on her mind was, "What could be troubling Meta Knight? He wouldn't talk..." It was midnight in Dreamland, Tuff was asleep, and so she crept out of bed and into the hallways. It was dark, the only supply of light coming from the lanterns hanging from the walls. Tiff had gone to see Meta Knight. She had gone to his room this time, to check if he too was asleep, or if he was awake. Peeking into his door, all she could see was darkness. But something had caught her eye; it was the handsome radiance of his gentle eyes. If she had seen his eyes, then she knew he was awake. Thinking back, he had once told her that Sword Knight and Blade Knight had the graveyard shift, so they were probably patrolling the halls. Quietly, she whispered into the room.
"M-Meta Knight...are you there...?" Tiff at first heard no answer.
"...Hmm...?" In fact, Meta Knight seemed to be awake.
"...Meta Knight...it's me, Tiff."
"...Tiff? What are you doing here?"
"Meta Knight, may I come in...?"
"Sure thing, what is wrong?" Tiff walked into the room, still pitch black with darkness, and she walked toward his bedside and sat next to him.
"Meta Knight, something is troubling me...why wouldn't you speak before? I had asked you about what you had left for, what you were so worried about...you didn't want to talk." Tiff was still whispering to him. "Meta Knight...what is going on?"
"I did talk little about Kirby; I was concerned if he'd be okay..."
"I know...But, why are you so concerned? He is a star warrior like you! I promised you, he will be okay!"
"I know, but, is this even a good idea? Saving Kirby won't be the easiest thing to do..."
"Meta Knight...I said it will be okay, we can do this, I will try my hardest—"Tiff's words were interrupted by a sort of shuffling clamor. Light shone onto the floor, and Sword Knight and Blade Knight had come in, finished with their duty of patrolling the castle.
"Meta Knight, we're done." Sword Knight said in an exhausted voice. We've been patrolling the castle since your shift!"
"Hey, why are you 'ere, Tiff?" Blade Knight, equally fatigued, spoke out suddenly.
"Ah, I was talking to Meta Knight. I guess I shall take my leave—"Again, Tiff was interrupted. This time, she was interrupted by Meta Knight.
"...Tiff, how about we talk outside?"
"...Okay?" Tiff was sort of bewildered at that. Grabbing her arm, Meta Knight left the room with her.
"...Sword, what was that all about?" Blade Knight was puzzled, too.
"I don't know, Blade..."
Tiff and Meta Knight were walking along. Tiff finally spoke up.
"Meta Knight...why did we have to leave?"
"Well, I didn't want them to worry too..."
"Oh. But, anyways, I promise you that he will be okay. We will probably have to train within the next week if we want to get him back, soon." Tiff was trying to reassure him.
"Tiff, I hope you're right...he should be okay...I am sorry, I worried you, my friend..."
"Ah, that's okay...anything, for you...I wanted to make sure you were okay, that is why I had come to see you..."
"Hehehe...I was awake the whole time, no worries."
"Well, I had to be sure..." Tiff started to speak softly, latching on to his arm. "Are you okay now, Meta Knight? You need a girl to protect you, huh?" Tiff had been messing with him, trying to make him forget it all.
"Hehehe...very funny."
"Well, it's still night time. How about we go outside for a walk or something? I'm not tired anymore..."
"Hmm, I guess." Meta Knight wasn't tired either. What else could they do?
"We can go sit in the garden...How about that?" Tiff had suggested.
"Anything you want to do."
Meta Knight and Tiff walked into the garden. Walking towards a small, cozy bench, the two of them sat down.
"Well, what do we do? Talk? Sit?" Tiff questioned.
"It was your idea; I guess we can just sit." Meta Knight proposed. They sat there for awhile, until Tiff had spoken up.
"Meta Knight, maybe we should go inside. We aren't doing anything." But to her surprise, there was no answer. Had he fallen asleep? Looking over at his face, the moonlight had made his mask look glittery, but his eyes were soft. Well. Tiff had come to one conclusion. He had fallen asleep! "...Meta Knight! You sleepy head..." So Tiff sat silently, and eventually, dozed off to sleep in the garden, on that same little bench, with Meta Knight, until it was the next morning, the day they would start their training.
Author's Notes: Well, THIS MADE NO FREAKEN SENSE TO ME, MYSELF. I know that is weird, but, I was pretty much improvising on what was going to happen next. O_O. Yeah, I should be getting more soon that actually deals with action stuff; less romance...I don't know.
