Chapter 5: The Infirmary

"So, that's what happened?" asked Principal Iwata.

"Yes," said Roy. "Here's the security tape to prove that Pikachu stabbed Shadow."

The principal took it.

"Thank you," said Mr. Iwata. "I'll get back to you."

"Poor guy," said Eliwood, Roy's father. "Ganondorf's always been a creep."

"Who would've expected Pikachu?" asked Marth. "I mean, he's just as annoying as…"

"…PICHU!" screamed a voice.

"Yeah, Pichu," said Jenny.

Pichu came running up and jumped onto Roy's neck.

"Holy crap," said Katie.

"Yes, I'm glad to see you, too, Pichu," said Roy. "Now, would you get off, please? You're messing up my hair."

"Your hair was already messed up," said Katie.

"Sorry," said Roy.

Shadow moaned and stirred, muttering something about Homer Simpson's car.

"What?" asked Eliwood.

"Who knows?" asked Marth.

"Who cares?" asked Roy. "All I care about is that that idiot tried to…"

Katie covered his mouth.

"I'm well prepared for that," she said.

"Well, I know that, but… that hurts, Pichu… but I'm still very upset," said Roy. "I don't like it that that happened."

"It's okay," said Katie.

Shadow muttered something else about yard sticks.

"He's dreaming absolute nonsense," said Jenny.

Eliwood stood up.

"I'm going back to bed," he said. "Goodnight, all."

As Eliwood left, Red X from the Teen Titans video game came running in.

"I came as soon as I heard," he panted. "Shadow's been stabbed? Damn! Oh boy…"

"Uh huh," said Roy. "Well, I'm going back to bed too. Here comes Chansey."

"Yeah," said Katie.

"Goodnight," said Jenny.

"I'll see you," said Marth.

Back in his room, Roy laid on the bed again.

"I was so not in the mood for this," said Roy. "I'm tired."

Katie lay down next to Roy.

"After the Event today, the last thing you wanted to deal with was probably this," said Katie.

"I wonder what the point is in doing that stuff," said Roy. "Ganondorf just enjoys making people miserable."

Katie patted Roy's arm.

"Don't worry about it," she said. "There's nothing he can do to us right now."
