DD: Well, I'm back from my period of writer's block! I'm so proud of my loyal readers for being so patient with my long period between writing chapters! So, I won't keep you waiting!

Sticking Together - Literally

Summary: What would happen if Rikochet and Buena Girl got stuck together? Let's find out!

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: I don't own ML or it's characters. They belong to the wonderful minds of Eddie Mort and Lili Chin much. However, my character, Dustania, will be mine forever! MWAHAHAHAHAHA! And Kitty is Minotoro Luver's character.
Oh, and the song "Waterloo," belongs to ABBA. Nor do I own any of the video games in this fic.

Chapter 4: Game Night

After the big Tag-Team day, all of the students were tired. Rikochet and Buena Girl decided to take the bus home instead of walking. When the bus pulled up, they hurried onto the bus and flopped down in a seat.

"Well, today wasn't so bad," Buena Girl said. Rikochet nodded. "Yeah, I know. I can't believe we won!" he replied. Buena Girl nodded eagerly. "You were great in there today, Rikochet," she told him. Rikochet felt his face turn slightly red at the compliment. "Really?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, you were awesome in there too, Rikochet," she replied. The two stared at each other, then their faces grew closer together...

"Hey! Rikochet!"

They jumped in surprise, then turned to see Minotoro, Flea, and Zero Kelvin sitting behind them. "Uh...yeah guys?" Rikochet asked nervously. "Are we still on for tonight, or has it been postponed?" Minotoro asked. Rikochet looked puzzled for a moment, then said, "Yes we are. Bring a girl of choice with you to play." he told them. At that, all three visably brightened. "Alright!" Flea said, then hurried down the asile towards Dustania. The other two boys went back to their seats, while Buena Girl turned her gaze to Rikochet. "What was that about?" she asked curiously. "Oh, on Tuesday nights, the guys come to my house to play video games," Rikochet explained. "Oh," Buena Girl said. Then it hit her. "How are you supposed to play video games with one hand?" she demanded. "Uh...do you want to play?" he asked. Buena Girl blinked, then realized what he was really asking her. "Alright Rikochet, I'll play," she replied.

My, my, at Waterloo
Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah!
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.

The bus pulled up to their stop. They quickly got off the bus and hurried to Rikochet's house. Rikochet's mother was already in the kitchen, cooking. "Hola, Mama!" he called. "Buenas tardes, mi jovencito," she replied without turning around. "Oh, Mama?" he said before he and Buena Girl went into the living room. "Yes, Rikochet?" she replied. "We are going to have twice the amount of people we normally have over tonight," he told her. Then the two kids went into the living room to get the games ready.

The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo! I was defeated, you won the war.
Waterloo! Promise to love me forever more.
Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Waterloo! Knowing my fate is to be with you.
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo!
Finally facing my Waterloo.

As Rikochet started pulling out all his game stuff, Buena Girl felt oddly nervous. She'd not played many video games before, and seeing all the games Rikochet had was starting to intimidate her. "Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters," ... "Tales of Symphonia," ... "Super Mario Smash Brothers," ...there were almost as many games as there were in a store! "Uh, Rikochet?" she started. He turned to her. "Yes, Buena Girl?" he asked. She turned slightly pink. "I don't know how to play any of these games," she said.

My my!
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger.
Oh yeah!
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight.

"Oh!" Rikochet said. "Not a problem, I can teach you at least the basics before everyone gets here," he said. She smiled with relief. Rikochet then hooked up his Gamecube and put in Super Mario Smash Brothers. It loaded, and he took a controller and held it up so Buena Girl could grab it with her hand. "Okay, now the controls are very simple..." Rikochet began...

10 minutes later.

"...And that's how you play!" he said finally. Buena Girl blinked, then said, "Okay, I think I got it," she said. Rikochet smiled. "Wanna give it a try?" he said. She nodded. He then moved the control over the Melee section. "Okay, now press A," he said. Buena Girl obeyed. The list of characters appeared on the screen. "Who do you want to try?" he asked. Buena Girl looked all over the screen of choices. One character then caught her eye. His name was Ness. He didn't look very strong, but something made Buena Girl want to pick him.

And how I could ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose.
Waterloo! I was defeated, you won the war.
Waterloo! Promise to love me forever more.
Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Waterloo! Knowing my fate is to be with you.
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo!
Finally facing my Waterloo.

After practicing for a little bit, the doorbell rang. The two kids stopped the game and hurried to the door. When they opened it, Minotoro and Kitty were standing outside. "Hey guys," Buena Girl said cheerfully. Kitty clapped her hands with delight. "Oh goody! You're here for video games too! This is gonna be so much fun!" she cheered. Minotoro grinned sheepishly. "Well, you said to bring a girl..." he said. Rikochet grinned. "I know I did. You made...quite the choice," he said, earning himself a deathly look from both girls. "So, uh...come on in and get comfortable!" he said.

So how could I ever refuse?
I feel like I win when I lose.

Finally, Zero Kelvin had arrived with La Pinata and Flea had arrived with Dustania. They gathered in the living room with churros and quesadillas. They were trying to decide what game the should play first. Kitty smiled eagerly. "Oh! I know! We can play Secret Agent Barbie!" she said happily. Everyone stared at her for a moment, then they turned their stare to Minotoro, who sank down a little lower. "Anyone else have any suggestions?" Dustania asked. Buena Girl then said, "What about Super Mario Smash Brothers?" Everyone looked at her, the Flea said, "Super Mario! The Flea is IN!" Everyone else agreed. They set up the controllers so that each pair was playing with one. Rikochet and Buena Girl chose Ness, Kitty and Minotoro chose Peach, Dustania and the Flea chose Zelda, and Zero Kelvin and La Pinata chose Mario.

Waterloo! Couldn't escape if I wanted to.
Waterloo! Knowing my fate is to be with you.

When the four characters were unleased on each other, it was quite the fight. The girls were controlling the attack buttons, and the four of them attacked without mercy of any kind. Dustania and Kitty ended up knocking each other's character out of the arena at the same time! In the end, Ness surprised everyone and came out on top. Then, the others left, leaving Buena Girl and Rikochet to themselves.

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo!
Finally facing my Waterloo.

The two then got ready for bed. Then they hopped into Rikochet's bed and snuggled together.

"Good night, Buena Girl."

"Good night, Rikochet."

Woo-woo-woo-woo Waterloo!
Knowing my fate is to be with you.
Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah Waterloo!
Finally facing my Waterloo.
Woo-woo-woo-woo Waterloo!
Knowing my fate is ...

DD: Well, that's chapter 4. Before I sign off, here's my comments to my reviewers:

StarTitan92: Thank you for the idea! It's what inspired me to do this chapter. Keep writing your fics! They rock!

Numbuh 8 da pyon n' Megawatt: Thanks much!

Veronica Jhee Cochran: Yeah, I'm still a Flea lover. :) I know making him wrestle the Headmistress is harsh, but hey, you never know what could happen, right? Thanks for reviewing!

Nintendo Maximus: Thank you! I thought it needed some matches here anyway. And yes, the Penny/Gundamo pairing IS a refrence to your fanart - but I support a different Penny pairing. (Any guesses to what it is?)

Danielle da Minotoro LUVER: Uh...about that...I wrote this fic way AFTER I met you. But I have never once seen a drawing or anything of Kitty with a mask. (This chapter should make up for it though!) Thanks for the review.

Well, that's it for now! Stay tuned for the next chapter! And keep making suggestions to help me along.
