~Normal POV~

It had been three days since Pit and Samus's afternoon date, and it was quite a success. Pit was glad he got to spend some time with the woman he loved for the weekend, and he couldn't wait to tell his friends all about it. On the other hand, though. Captain Falcon, Snake, Little Mac, and Ike were sitting on the sofas, and all of them were angry and disappointed because their plan to sabotage Pit's date with Samus backfired on them. In Lounge Room B, the four Smashers were sitting on the sofas, talking about how their plan didn't work as well as they had hoped.

"I can't believe our plan failed," said Falcon. "We worked so hard on it and teamed up to put it into action, and this is what we deserve? Not only losing Samus to that little chicken boy, but also getting out butts kicked? Ugh...I tell ya, life isn't very fair sometimes."

"It was a very stupid idea to intervene, after all," said Ike. "I knew it would never work, and I also knew that our actions were going to have consequences."

"How were we supposed to know he brought that walking pink marshmallow with him?" asked Snake. "None of us had prepared for something like that."

"Especially not me," groaned Little Mac. "Can you imagine getting slapped by that creature as you're walking over to someone's table with a tray full of hot coffees, preparing to dump 'em all on the lap of a guy who made you jealous because he got the girl you wished you did? That little pink pest smacked me so hard that I dropped the tray right before I was about to go near that table, and lemme tell ya, the coffees I spilled on myself burned like heck. I had to spend hours soaking in ice-cold water just to get rid of the burns I got. Thank goodness Miss Trainer was there to give me some ice."

"That sounds awful," said R.O.B. "But that's nothing compared to what I had to go through. I tried to sneak into the Namco Museum with the fake Pac-Man machine, hoping I would be able to trick Pit into playing it, but he saw through my little scheme and called me out for it. Just as I was about to fire my Robo-Beam at him, Jigglypuff suddenly jumped into the cardboard machine I was in and slapped me repeatedly. Since my plan was thwarted, I had to get out of there in a hurry. Also, I think Pit destroyed the cardboard machine with one of his arrows."

"Don't even get me started on how mini-golf went," said Falcon. "Even though we tried our hardest, we just weren't able to beat that boy on the Pirate's Cove course. I don't know what kind of hacks he was using, but he didn't miss a single putt. On the other hand, I have no idea why none of us could get our balls into those stupid holes, especially since we practiced long enough before we got onto the course. Not to mention we still gotta pay for the clubs we destroyed after Pit won at the last hole."

"I'm pretty sure our bet just motivated him to do well so he could keep Samus all to himself," said Ike. "And the reason we failed is that we didn't have enough time to perfect our putts."

"Probably not," said Snake. "I don't think any of us were expecting to see that little creature jump right in front of us and grow into a giant just to slap us all in the face."

"And Pit sure wasn't kidding when he said he would shoot us with his bow," said Falcon. "Ugh, my butt's still kinda sore from both being hit with that arrow and Samus's laser."

"Mine is, too," said Ike. "I guess that's the price we have to pay for trying to interfere with someone's love life."

"Well, I guess we should be glad that Samus loves Pit more than us," said R.O.B. "He must be very lucky to be going steady with a woman like her."

"No kidding," groaned Falcon.

Just then, right on cue, they saw Pit enter the room. He had overheard them mumbling and grumbling about how their plan didn't work, so he decided to politely interrupt their conversation and give them a little talk.

"Hey, guys," he said. "What's going on?"

"Well, if it isn't Mr. Lucky Boy himself," said Falcon.

"How was that date last weekend?" asked Snake bitterly.

"Oh, you know how it went," said Pit. "Samus and I had a great time, but you guys probably didn't. Not since I discovered your plan to try and split Samus and me apart just so you could get her to start hanging around you again. It's a good thing Jigglypuff was there to help me put a stop to that plan so I could enjoy my date without having you guys getting in the way."

"Yeah, we know, kid," said Falcon.

"You really could've just told us that you didn't need us intervening," said Ike. "It would've been more sensible as opposed to having Jigglypuff assault us or threatening to use your weapons."

"Well, you guys should've just told me the truth about what you were planning to do, and not try to cover anything up by telling lies," said Pit. "That was really stupid. Besides, you shouldn't have gone with that crazy plan of yours, because even though you came up with all those little schemes just to take Samus from me, they would never work. That's because you guys let your jealousy get the better of you and never stopped to think about the consequences your actions would have. Even though I have a girlfriend who makes me truly happy and cares for me, you guys were so jealous that you didn't think about making an effort to get along with us. Isn't that right?"

There was a long, awkward silence, before the four Smashers who tried to sabotage the angel boy's date began to admit that their plan was unreasonable, useless, and needlessly diabolical. Not to mention that they got a little carried away with it.

"Alright, kid, you win," said Falcon. "You have proven to us that Samus belongs with you. I guess none of us have a chance with her."

"No, we don't," said Snake. "She's better off with you than any of us."

"You're right. It was pretty stupid of us to try and embarrass you on your date with Samus," admitted Ike.

"It certainly was," said R.O.B. "To say the very least, you and Samus make a very nice couple. I think Samus deserves you more than she deserves Falcon or Snake. All that really matters is how happy she makes you."

"And I deserve the Wii Fit Trainer more than I deserve Samus," sighed Little Mac. "At least Miss Trainer has a few things in common with me."

"And I guess I have no chance with Samus, either," said Ike, hanging his head. "She deserves you more than me, and I deserve Palutena more than her. All we wanted was to get Samus back, but we never stopped to consider what you wanted. We apologize very sincerely. Now that I think about it, I can see why Samus makes you happy in the first place."

Pit smiled, knowing that he could accept his fellow Smashers' apology. But their deeds would not go unpunished, so the angel boy decided that while he would forgive Falcon and the others for their actions, he might as well give them some payback for attempting to ruin a good time with his girlfriend.

"Oh, and one more thing," said Pit.

"What?" asked Falcon.

Without warning, Pit raised his leg and gave Falcon a well-deserved Angel Kick in the one place where no guy ever wants to be kicked. Then he turned to Ike and gave him a good, hard punch in the gut. Then he gave Little Mac an Angel Kick with his other leg.

"That's what you get for trying to ruin my date with those crazy little schemes of yours," he said as the racer, mercenary, and boxer all fell to the floor.

"Falcon ouch..." groaned Falcon, clutching to the area where he had gotten kicked.

"Thanks, kid," grumbled Ike. "We needed that."

"You're welcome!" chuckled Pit. "And I forgive you. Now, if you excuse me, I'm gonna go tell my friends about my date. When I tell the guys about all the cool things that, I know they're gonna be so jealous. But a good kind of jealous, if you know what I mean. See ya!"

As the angel boy left the room, R.O.B. was quite surprised that Pit not only forgave him and the others for their actions, but also punished them, too. He didn't quite expect it, but it was probably one of the consequences they had to face for trying to go through with their plan.

"Well, Snake, I guess you and I have no choice but to remain lone wolves," said Falcon, recovering from Pit's kick as the angel boy left the room.

"I know," said Snake. "But it's not too bad if you think about it. Remaining single means that you only have to pay for one in a restaurant, you don't have to try to impress anyone, and you can have all the time to yourself you want."

"I guess you're right," said Falcon. "Now that I think about it, I'm glad that Samus broke up with me. When we were still a couple, she hardly gave me any time to hang out with you guys."

"Now that you mention it, I'm glad that Samus dumped me, too," said Little Mac. "It was nice having her around for a little while, but I guess she wasn't exactly my type, and I'm much happier with the girlfriend I have right now. Not only is Miss Trainer the perfect match for me since we're both fitness nuts, but she makes a great partner when it comes to workouts and stuff."

"I think I agree with you guys," said Ike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Samus was my type to begin with, either. I mean, she's both beautiful and strong, but I just didn't think we would last long. That's why I'm glad that Palutena is my girlfriend now. Even though she can be a bit of a handful sometimes, she's still fun to be around."

"I'm glad that you all accept the fact that Samus is with Pit now," said R.O.B. "I think she must be very lucky to find someone who is the perfect match for her, and I'm sure Pit feels the same way."

"No doubt about that," said Little Mac. "And I guess I'm lucky to find someone who's the perfect match for me, too."

"So am I," said Ike. "I don't think we'll ever trade our girlfriends for anyone else."

"And I'm sure I'll get used to remaining single," said Falcon. "Besides, dating isn't an important part of my life."

"It's certainly not," said Snake. "For now, I'm glad that we can live like normal guys can. We don't need any girls interfering."

"Couldn't have said it better," said R.O.B. "So, is anyone up for a game of Mario Kart?"

And so, the four Smashers had finally accepted that Samus wasn't for them and had found a person she really belonged to and got along so well with. They were fine with that, because they knew they could function perfectly without her, and they were glad that their relationships with her didn't last long. They had better things to do than having her around all the time. Even though Pit was an angel who could barely fly, all that mattered was that he was going steady with a woman that he loved dearly, and that made him happy.
