Note: I know that Captain Falcon's first name is Douglas. You'll understand as you read on….. Oh, and even though most people don't like this pairing, I don't think I will get flamed, you guys are better than that.

    "Go!" Yelled the announcer.

    Samus sat comfortable in the box seats next to her newly found friends, Fox and Zelda.

    "Who are we cheering for anyway?" Fox asked. "They are both in our division and we might have to pair up with one of them some day…."

    "I'm cheering for Link." Zelda stepped in.

    "Well of course you are… you guys are dating-" Fox was cut off.

    "No… we are taking a break for the tournament. You know the rules."

    "Aren't you a little worried he'll be taking with some girl here and-" Again she cut fox off.

    "No. Not at all. I'm his, and he loves me. We don't have to kiss to know that. We still spend time together…. We just don't act like a couple I guess. He wanted to do this, and its better if I'm here doing it with him."

    "That makes sense." Samus nodded.

    "Score for Link!" Yelled the announcer excited.

    They were caught up in their conversation and almost forgot about the match.

-----------------------------------------------------------

    Captain Falcon was sent back to the stage.

    "Good one Link." He screamed as he ran to Link.

    He ducked missing Links swing, and kicked his shins knocking Link down.

Thud.

    He grabbed the gun that had fallen next to his foot and shot Link before he had a chance to get up. Falcon then threw the gun stunning him. He grabbed Link by the collar and threw him.

    "Score for Captain Falcon!"

    Link was sent back. They approached each other a little more slowly this time.

    "That leaves us with one each old sport" Link grinned. "Sorry buddy, I have to win… I got a girl to impress." Link joked.

    "Me too." Said Falcon smiling.

With that said-

They charged.

-----------------------------------------------------------

    "I hate this job." Samus shook her head. "We fight each other… for what? Money… for other's entertainment. It is pointless and stupid… "

    "Why are you doing it then?" asked Zelda.

    "There isn't anything else I can do."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Samus…

148404

No, he was a murderer.

Then why do you feel so guilty. You can't trust HIM. HE sent you to kill Zelda and Link. They are good people. You can't trust the information HE gave you.

No I…

Guilty.

Guilty of killing a monster.

Guilty of killing an innocent man.

He wasn't innocent!

How do you know, did you check for yourself?

148404

    "No!" She woke up to a cold sweat.

148404… He told me what 148404 did. But how do I know I can trust him… I thought I could then, but now, after knowing the things HE has done. That bastard. I knew I should have done a check up of my own… I KNEW. If he lied to me that means I killed…

That means I'm a bad person.

And now that—

I must find out for myself.

-----------------------------------------------------------
    Samus threw a piece of grapefruit at Miles that barely missed his head, and then another that hit his shoulder.

    "You know I hate grapefruit! What the devil are you doing?" Miles yelled playfully.

    "Hey, you started it. You were the one who cut it up and tried to feed it to me!" Samus grinned. She hadn't had this much fun in a long time.

    "You said you liked grapefruit…" He shifted his eyes. Samus chuckled.

    "I said it was bad luck!"

    She had dropped by his room to congratulate him on his victory against Link. Then she saw that he also had got a basket of grapefruit….well… the whole thing just turned into one fruity mess.

    "My room has grapefruit juice all over the place." He looked around his room. "You do realize you are helping me clean this up right?"

    "No way. You were the one who cut the grapefruit. Hey don't give me the puppy face thing. I said don't!!! Oh I hate men. Fine. I'll help you clean up."

    "It is a good puppy face don't you think? Always works. So uhh, we don't have to clean yet. We could have a little fun first."
    "A little fun huh? What did you have in mind?" Samus gave Miles a playfully seductive look.

    "Well, there's always twister." He grinned wickedly.

-----------------------------------------------------------

    When Miles had suggested twister, Samus hadn't thought he might actually be serious.

    He was.

    So here they were. In room 204 playing twister. Samus was on her hands and knees, but she was facing up. Miles had one leg in between hers and both his hands to the right of her.

    "Sam?"
    "Yeah?"

    "The spinner is closer to your hand…… "

    "No way." Samus shook her head at him. "If I move I'm going to fall and die."

    "Well, I've never heard of anyone dying playing twister, but if you say so….I'll get it." He reached over to her left side to get it and collapsed on top of her.

    "My my… we do have a peck of troubles don't we?" Samus laughed. She almost said something else when she realized that he wasn't getting up. He was on top of her, and he was staring at her. "Miles…. Are you zoned out or something?" She looked at him curiously.

    "No. You're just really beautiful." His hand touched her face. They weren't kissing. They weren't making love, they hadn't even known each other that long. But in his touch there was something that sparked a passion in her that she had never felt before.

    And she kissed him.

    He was surprised because he had expected to make the first move, but there they were. Any scar that was left from the stab of loneliness she had felt was gone. They both felt it. It wasn't just lust and passion….. there was love. A pure untouched love that they felt for each other. Something that neither could understand.

    "I love you." Miles said as they broke apart. Samus looked at him horrified…. She quickly pushed him off her and got up. "Sam… I'm sorry I kn-"

    "No shut up. I don't even know you!" Samus glared at him heavily. Her eyes digging into his skin, his soul. "We can't love each other. I've known you for two days. It isn't possibly. Those are not words that you just say.. they aren't!"

    "You shut up." Miles came forward at grabbed her arm. " I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it. I know you felt that. I can't explain….. I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't believe in moving this fast I just." He sighed, as if it would let go of the anxiety he was feeling. "I can't explain. I still mean it. I just have this strong feeling in my gut that this was meant to happen… that sounds so stupid I know."

    "Maybe I should just go."

I need to leave this room. I need to think. I need to…

    "Yeah." Miles looked from her eyes down to the floor. He felt embarrassed. Ashamed that he had spoken without thinking. Ashamed that he didn't want to take back those words.

Ashamed.

    "I'm sorry." She fled out the door and slammed it shut. Leaning against the wall outside his door she looked down to find a piece of grapefruit smudged on her pants. That is when it hit her how much fun she had had with him. And how much she must have hurt him. He looked so small when she left, so pained and small.

Guilt.

She felt guilty for hurting someone she

Loved? Cared for? Maybe you can love someone in that short of a time…Or maybe we are both just so lonely and desperate for love that…

She felt something for him.

Something.
