AN: Hello! I might be a bit busy 'cause, you know, school stuff. Anyway, I hope to see you guys soon!
Chapter 3: Captain F-Off
Andie woke up to something snoring quite loudly on the other side of the room. "Mhm, what is that?" she groaned, sitting up on her bed. She rubbed her eyes and was greeted with a funny and amusing sight.
Red lay on the other bed, drooling and snoring. Very loudly, Andie thought with a smirk. She approached the red dragon and proceeded to poke her on the snout multiple times. Red yawned, rolling to the other side and falling off the bed, successfully waking her up.
Andie stifled a laugh when she gazed around looking dazed and confused. "Why am I on the floor?" she asked. The warlord shook her head with a small laugh.
"Don't ask me, Red," she answered. Red turned herself into a sword with a growl, flying back into Andie's hand. She walked to the door and unlocked it, wandering around the hall. She looked at the map she got from the chest and decided to go to the dining area when her stomach grumbled in hunger.
After a few minutes, she stopped in front of a door. She could hear some chatter from the other side of the room. She frowned. She didn't like being with strangers.
"But you're with them all the time during wars," Red said, almost catching Andie off guard. That's different, she thought as she opened the door. A few people glanced at her but other than that, she didn't get much attention.
She sat on a lone table, far away from the other ones. She glanced around the dining area with interest. Not many smashers were present, which she was thankful for. Andie observed the smashers and locked eyes with a lady in pink, who seemed to be wearing a tiara. She was chatting with a brunette who also had a crown but stopped when she caught sight of the warlord.
"So much for being alone," Red said with a chuckle. Andie pushed her thoughts away and focused on the blonde. She was a pretty lady who wore white gloves, a pink dress and a tiara. She had big, blue eyes and a friendly smile on her face as she approached Andie.
The young warrior mentally sighed.
"Hey there, I'm princess Peach. It's very nice to meet you," she said. Luckily, Andie was taught proper manners so she returned Peach's smile.
"Andrienne of Immorta," she greeted. The pink princess giggled and seemed to call over the brunette. Please just leave me alone, Andie whined. "You'll jinx yourself, Andie. Stop it," Red said with a smirk. Can dragons even do that?
If I talk to you now, I'll look crazy, she said, pushing Red's presence away once more. The next lady wore a purple dress, white gloves, and a tiara. She had icy blue eyes and a small smile on her pale face. This one appeared much more elegant than the other one, who seemed bubblier.
"Princess Zelda, a pleasure to meet you," she said, extending her hand out. Andie stared for a few seconds before smiling and shaking her hand.
"My name is Andrienne. The pleasure is mine, ladies."
Peach giggled once more while Zelda bowed her head. "Do you mind?" Peach asked, looking at the space next to the warlord. Andie nodded her consent and made more room for them on the bench. "Thank you!" Peach exclaimed, perhaps a little too enthusiastic.
Zelda thanked Andie and sat down beside Peach. Andie raked her brain for conversation topics, she never was good at socializing. Apparently, Peach had beat her to it.
"So, what's your-"
Princess Peach was interrupted by a certain racer/bounty hunter. Andie could hear Red laugh at her misfortune. "Hello ladies, 'tis I, Captain Falcon!" he said, leaning on the table with a grin. The warrior heard Zelda's long-suffering groan.
"Oh for Din's sake, not now Falcon," she said, looking at the racer in exasperation. He only grinned wider. Andie, meanwhile, looked at him in distaste.
"That was rude of you, Andie. Pusing me away like that," Red said in mock hurt. Sorry, but this man right here is annoying these poor princesses, Andie thought while a plan formed in her head. She could practically see the dragon grinning.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Red asked, curious to see if her master and friend would actually do it. Yep, she replied as she abruptly stood up. The man looked at her, slightly surprised.
"Well hello there, little lady, you must have heard of me," he said. Andie was already annoyed by this person's looks. "No," she replied with a sharp tone.
"Well then, I'm Captain Falcon. The captain of the Blue Falcon, the most cha-"
Andie held her sword against his throat. "Get away from this table right now or I'll skin you alive," she threatened. Almost to her surprise, Falcon only laughed.
"Feisty, aren't we?" he said smiling. "Many people have already pointed their swords at me so-"
He was cut off once again as a small but intense flame ignited from the tip of her sword. "I get it, Captain F-Off, now get out. Of. My. Sight," Andie growled. She heard the girls burst into laughter. Falcon only grumbled before scurrying off to somewhere else. Andie sat down with a huff.
"That's not bad, Andie. That's not bad at all," Zelda praised, smirking at the warlord. Andie offered a smile.
"He was annoying you guys," she said. Princess Peach still couldn't stop giggling. She wiped off some tears from her eye before facing Andie with a large grin.
"What you called him though," she said in between breaths. Zelda patted Peach on the back.
"Hey, Andie?" Zelda asked. Andie turned her attention to the brunette.
"Yes?"
The two princesses shared a look before nodding at each other. "Would you like to be our friend, Andie?" Peach asked, free from her previous bout of laughter.
Andie stared at them in shock. Her, become friends with them? But they've only just met! "But-" she began.
Zelda waved her hand in dismissal. "It's alright. Just think about it, okay?" she said, leaving with Peach as a bell rang, signaling the end of breakfast. Andie stared after her before contacting Red.
"Red, they just asked me to be their friend. What do I do?" she asked. She could hear Red hum in contemplation.
"I think it would be great if you accepted," Red said, sending waves of pride to Andie.
"Why?" she asked. Red thought about what to say before shrugging. "You know, to have more friends." Andie left the dining hall, contemplating about what Red said. Andie realized something.
"Red, why are there two beds in my room?" she asked, slightly curious. "I mean, my name's the only one written on the sign."
"It's my bed." Red answered.
"And how do you know that?" Andie asked.
Red was silent for a moment before answering, "MH told me." Andie regarded her with shock.
"What, when and how?" she asked again. "He told me in my dreams last night."
Andie did not talk to Red for the next few hours. She could not believe that Red kept something like that from her. Her master, her best friend. Meanwhile, Red was having trouble contacting Andie. She really hoped that she wasn't mad.
AN: Heh, I hope that you like the ending. Bye!
