These last few chapters are mainly going to wrap up loose ends. So there nowhere near as long as the last few have been.

Enjoy.


The Super Smash Brothers tournament was finally coming to an end, most of the people that came were heading to their hotels to pack up and head home. The fighters, however, had the choice to either leave as well, or, stay for the after party.

The after party for each Smash Bros tournament was as simple as it sounded. Fighters would stay to party till the sun rose and have no regrets for any hangovers they may have. It was a way of kicking back and relaxing after so many days of fighting. Drinks were being passed around by black Shy guys wearing white bowties and almost every tray was empty in seconds.

It was ten at night when the party started. The lounge this time had neon lights hung everywhere, music booming out of the mics, and enough alcohol to flood a city. Most of the fighters were there enjoying themselves, some left since they were homesick, and one left out of embarrassment.

Samus was leaning against the wall to enjoy her drink and tapping her foot to the music. As she leaned, she had her eyes on Peach, who was dancing along to the music. Peach, Zelda, and Rosalina were together dancing, laughing and even though their dance moves weren't great, they didn't care, they were having fun. Samus didn't mind parties but, she wasn't into dancing. She didn't hate it, but she preferred to relax and enjoy the music.

Knight was standing next to her, unsure of what to do. He had never been to a party before, didn't know any dance moves, and couldn't drink. He was WAY outside of his comfort zone and didn't know what to do. Soon though, Kirby walked by. He waved to Samus who waved back and then looked at Knight. Kirby waved for Knight to follow, but Knight hesitated. Kirby decided to help Knight out, so he grabbed his hand and dragged him to the dance floor. Samus chuckled at the little exchange as Kirby and Knight were now on the dance floor. Kirby moving, rolling and bouncing around like an expert, while Knight stood straight and awkwardly.

Kirby encouraged Knight to move along to the music, Knight still hesitated. However, Knight remembered that he didn't understand video games at first but started to get it. So, he started moving. Knight raised his little arms into the air and began waving them back and forth. While he did that, he moved his body along with the music.

Samus chuckled at Knight's dance moves and then reminded herself that she wasn't very good either. Soon her eyes were back on Peach. Samus knew she was staring but, she couldn't help it. The way Peach swayed her hips to the music, her big cute smile, the fact that Peach didn't seem to care about how goofy she looked. Samus loved it. She started to feel her face heat up and knew she was most likely blushing. Samus looked down at her drink and started moving the liquid around in the glass. Her and Peach needed some time alone to talk, but how would she start the conversation?

She figured once the party was over, she would talk to her about how she felt and most likely just wing it. As Samus looked at her drink she failed to notice Zelda who was standing in front of her and was grinning.

"What is it?" asked Samus.

"Why are you being a wallflower? Come on dance!"

"Hey, come on, you know I suck." Samus wasn't really worried about her dance moves, she was more worried about looking dumb in front of Peach. She knew deep down Peach wouldn't care if she looked dumb in front of her. But it would still be embarrassing.

"Does that really matter! Just have fun!" Zelda grabbed Samus's hand and started dragging her. Samus quickly gave her drink to one of the Shy Guys and was now on the dance floor. Samus started moving to the music as best she could but she knew she was bad.

"Hey there!"

Samus turned around and was facing Peach.

"H-Hey." Samus stopped dancing for a moment. She wanted so badly to talk to Peach right now and tell her everything. She also wanted to kiss her badly as well but knew that'd be a bit dramatic since there were people all around them. Peach noticed that she stopped dancing and smiled at her.

"Keep dancing! Enjoy the moment!" Peach began moving around even more and it was mesmerizing to Samus. She saw her dance moves earlier but seeing them up close was even better. Samus felt heated up again and went back to dancing, hoping Peach wouldn't notice. Except, Peach did notice.

Drinks were sipped, music blared the room, and one by one the fighters went back to their rooms for one last night at the stadium. Soon only a quarter of the fighters were left in the lounge and the music wasn't as loud. A few Dry Bones walked around collecting garbage and began cleaning, but there was one more song the DJ was going to play.

"Alright folks, one more song for the night." He said into his mic. The music started and it was a slow song. Most of the fighters got together to slow dance, most weren't couples, they did it for fun. Such as Pit and Isabella, Donkey Kong and Wii Fit trainer, and whoever else was in the room. Samus, Peach, and Zelda were the only ones in the room not dancing.

"I'm going to get Link, you two have fun." Zelda winked at Peach before walking off.

"Come on Samus, it'll be fun." Said Peach with a grin.

"S-Sure, why not?" Samus was blushing more than ever.

Peach put her hands on Samus's hips and Samus put her hands onto Peach's shoulders, they locked eye contact and began moving slowly to the rhythm. Samus kept a squeal from coming out, she couldn't have been happier and more nervous at once. Peach had the cutest smile and the yellow dress she wore was breathtaking. Peach loved how Samus was looking at her, her cute eyes, her beautiful hair. And Peach loved her Zero Suit outfit, it fit her form perfectly. Not that she would ever picture Samus doing anything lewd in it . . . that never happens.

The whole time Samus and Peach danced, Knight had been watching. He couldn't have been happier for Samus, seeing her dance with Peach meant she was getting closer to confessing her feelings.

Knight then decided he might as well slow dance since he did a "normal" dance. Kirby was dancing with Meta Knight, who looked annoyed. But soon a tall woman walked over to him. He looked up at her and tilted his head. "Hello, I'm Bayonetta. Your fight was amazing by the way. Especially your Final Smash." Knight nodded his head in thanks. He then gave out his hand, showing he was asking for a dance. Bayonetta raised an eyebrow. "You're a bit short, but I'll just hold you up." So, she lifted Knight up and held him tight in her right arm. Holding Knight's right hand while his legs dangled. She did most of the work, but she didn't mind.

Knight was having fun.


Soon the song ended, and all the fighters went to their rooms. Except for Knight, who sat by the fire. Most of the fighters were passed out but Samus remained awake. She sat up in her bed in her pajamas and was playing out how she would talk to Peach. She was going to wing it but figured some pre-planning might help. She took a deep breath and got out of bed and started to make her way to Peach's room.

As soon as she opened the door, Peach was there in her pajamas, with her hand raised, ready to knock. "Oh hey." Said Peach.

"Hey . . . Listen, we need to talk." Said Samus as she rubbed the back of her neck.

"Same." Peach walked in and sat down on Samus bed who sat next to her. "You, want to start?"

"Yeah. So, I think I've had a crush on you for a while." Said Samus with a huge blush but didn't care.

"You think?" Peach teased with a smile. Samus blushed more.

"Regardless, for a while, I've liked you but, didn't know how to say it. Or if, you liked me back." Samus started twiddling with her thumbs. Samus's mouth felt dry, she was so nervous that she could feel every heartbeat she had getting faster and faster. It only got faster when Peach put her hand on her knee. Samus turned to look at Peach who was looking directing into her eyes.

"I've felt the same for a while as well. I didn't know if you felt the same. So, I just didn't say anything." Peach looked away. She felt somewhat guilty she didn't say what she wanted sooner, but soon smiled again and looked back at Samus. "But hey I'm saying it now."

Samus felt all her emotions explode at once. So many thoughts went through her head. She likes me back. She felt the same. She held it back too. All these thoughts led to one single and simply thought. Kiss her. She didn't know if this was the right time, she felt like she should talk more with Peach but damn it all! She couldn't hold it back. When Peach least expected it, Samus moved in and kissed her. It was brief, but it felt great to kiss Peach. Her lips were soft and felt warm, Peach was shocked at first, but soon settled down and started kissing back. Soon, both their hands were on each others' hips. They moved closer to each other and the only sound in the room was their soft kissing. After a few minutes of kissing the parted and rested their foreheads to each other. Breathing slowly.

"That was something." Peach said with a smile. She moved her left hand to Samus's cheek and started massaging it with her thumb.

"That was great." Samus smiled back. Samus pulled Peach back in for another kiss. "I have a weird question."

"Go on?" Peach had a sly smile.

"Do you . . . want to, sleep. With me . . . tonight." Samus was mentally kicking herself for stuttering. Peach looked at Samus with those same soft and caring eyes that Samus loved.

"Sure. Nothing funny though." Peach grinned. Samus's face went redder than it ever had in her life.

"I-I-I wouldn't do that right away. We just became a thing." She nervously chuckled. Peach giggled at her nervous response.

Peach and Samus laid under the covers together. Peach's back towards Samus while Samus had her arm Peach's waist. They slept through the whole night snuggled up in each others' arms, their soft breathing putting each of them to sleep. And the thought that both no longer had to hide anything.

It was heavenly.
