I'm back! Joy to the world! I was currently working on my Stuck in an Elevator and Living the Legend…oh yes, SELF PROMOTION TIME…AGAIN! I LOVE SELF PROMOTION! Anyhoodles, go check it out. They seem to be doing well.
Roy: Of course.
I love Roy now…-drools-
Pit: But what about me! You made this fic for me!
Oh yeah I did. Sorry Roy. Guess I'll have to make a fic about you. Except I don't have any ideas.
Pit: Me neither.
Roy: Well, you're probably just saying that so she won't write anything about me so you get all the glory!
Pit: -mysteriously- Maybe I am.
Roy: -hits Pit with a frying pan-
Hey, you can only do that when we review for Band of Brothers and Patriot!
Roy: Oh yeah. Sorry.
Oh yes…I made Peach older than the teens to be with Mario. :D That means her room is on a different floor, as the rooms are organized by age. And, genre was changed to Action/Adventure/Romance.
Chapter Twenty-One
"If I have to endure those little brats one last time," Peach cursed as she placed her crown properly on her head, "they will never see the end of my rage!"
She stalked out of her room, finally away from her vanity. She peered carefully down the hall to watch out for the gang, then skipped down the stairs happily. She was peering over the railing, looking for Mario, when Pit flew into her and knocked her back.
"I'm sorry!" Pit cried, helping the Princess up. "I was in a hurry to get to my floor."
"No, it's alright," Peach giggled, dusting herself off. "Whatever for?"
Pit knew it would make no sense to tell her he was racing to his room to go to bed, so he lied, "I was getting a weapon to show the guys, and I was so eager, I guess I was flying pretty fast."
"Yes, yes you were," Peach smiled, agreeing with the angel. "Well, just slow down a bit, Pit! I'll see you around."
Pit waved good-bye to her and flew off the balustrade up to his floor. He groaned when he saw the gang waiting for him by the railing. Hovering in the air, Pit rolled his eyes and glared at them all.
"What do you want?"
"We want you to take one of us for a ride!" Ness cried happily.
"Yeah! As in, you hold on to us and take us around!" Young Link piped up.
"Hmm…" Pit looked up and placed his hand on his chin to give the impression that he was thinking deeply. "No."
"No?" Nana cried.
"No."
"Pikachu pika pika!" Pikachu hissed.
"Yeah! We want to!" Purin began to inflate like a balloon.
"Well, too bad," Pit replied.
Each member advanced simultaneously and menacingly towards the angel.
Yoshi spat, "Well then you'll have to get past us to get to your room!"
"Guy, I don't want this right now—"
"Yaaaaaah!" they all screamed and tackled Pit, knocking him to the ground. They weren't really attacking him, but were just sort of sitting on top of him and screaming.
Pit finally managed to shove them all off of him, except for Pichu, who stayed on Pit's shoulder.
"Pichu," he ordered. "Off. Now."
"Chu!" the Pokemon giggled. It was obvious he said, "No!"
Pit drew his bow and looked about to slice the mouse, so he jumped off Pit and onto the railing. He giggled, doing his taunt, crying, "Pichu!" He jumped up and down, and, agile as his breed is, he lost his footing and fell off the balustrade.
"Pichu!" Pit cried involunatrily and dove off the balustrade. The gang watched apprehensively, too scared to move. Though it was only seconds, it felt like hours before Pit grasped the small Pokemon and flapped his wings, saving the little mouse from a five-story drop. (The foyer is the tallest room in the mansion, as each floor has a balcony at the end of its hall to look over the foyer.)
The small Pokemon was shaking when Pit brought him back to the gang. Pikachu piped his thanks to Pit and then sympathetically scolded (is that possible?) the smaller mouse.
After that was over with, Pichu shakily thanked Pit.
"He said he could've died," Purin giggled. "Pikachu's making him do whatever you say."
"Well," Pit thought aloud, "I could make you stop tormenting the other Smashers here."
The gang looked about to protest when Pit shook his head. "Nah, there's only four more days until we leave. You know what? It's nothing. You can probably pay me back another day…" Pit then looked hard at the gang. "See what happens when you guys carelessly attack the Smashers? Pichu could have gotten hurt—bad!"
The gang was silent.
"From now on, be more careful, or else one of you or more will end up gravely injured," Pit said.
The others nodded solemnly, then walked off. Pit shook his head and was about to enter his room when he heard voices coming from Marth's room. Though he couldn't resist, he crept up to the door and listened, hearing Roy and Marth in some sort of conversation.
"…I'm telling you, she's head over heels for him!" Roy was saying.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Well, for one, Mewtwo, that stupid Pokemon who doesn't know boundaries, read her mind and found out she kissed Pit in the hall…"
Pit was startled.
"You can't still love her, do you?" Marth queried after being silent for a while.
Pit peered inside through the ajar door, noticing Roy's sad look as he fiddled with his sword and looked at the floor.
"I do."
"You do?"
"Yes."
Pit stumbled back, almost crying out. He remembered that Samus and Roy were together in the tournament last year, but he didn't know how serious they were. Reasoning that he had done enough spying on people that day, he went to his room.
Roy loves Samus…Pit though blankly as he turned on the light to his room. He walked to the balcony and looked out at the night, gripping the railing. Soon he found himself gripping it so hard, it hurt. Why this sudden rush of anger? He couldn't imagine himself mad at Roy, but yet he was. Why am I angry at Roy? He's one of my closest friends now. I can't be mad at him…but he stills cares about Samus, even when things have moved on…
All these thoughts made Pit sleepy, and he collapsed on his bed, out in seconds.
"Good morning," Roy yawned to Pit and Link as they all exited their rooms at the same time.
"Morning," Link returned cheerily.
"Hello," Pit said simply.
"Hope breakfast wakes you up, Roy," Link ruffled Roy's bright red hair.
"But I am up."
"Sure, Roy, in your world," Link scoffed.
Pit was silent, and instead of taking the stairs, leaped of the balustrade and flew down to the ground floor. He landed softly, then proceeded to enter the dining room.
"Wish I could do that," Roy spoke sleepily.
When they finally got to the dining room, Roy made himself a cup of coffee and drank it all in seconds, despit the fact it was hot. Maybe it was because he's half dragon, so it didn't matter. Soon Samus, Marth, and Zelda came down, all chatting excitedly about some random topic.
I shouldn't say anything to Roy… Pit thought nervously as he saw Roy wave to the group, but somehow he thought Roy was waving to only Samus. But he wants her back…well, he's such a show-off, and he's annoying! Pit had no idea where these hateful feelings had suddenly come from.
I see you are experiencing jealousy… Mewtwo's voice rang in his head.
You again!
Indeed.
Why don't you mind your own business?
Mewtwo's laugh echoed in Pit's mind. If I did, you'd find yourself in some romantic trouble a lot, wouldn't you?
What do you mean?
Have you already forgotten the help I gave you last night? I was the one who said Samus cared about you.
Why do you want to help me?
Mewtwo chuckled. You obviously have no knowledge of the human race, being an angel. Again, you must be experiencing jealousy.
Jealousy?
Ugh. Mewtwo groaned.
What?
You're so naïve.
Well, I'm sorry, Pit returned sarcastically. But I can't help getting mad at Roy.
I know. I heard your thoughts. How evil for you to say to your friend.
Well, he's trying to win her back!
His habits don't seem to have changed.
Well, they have. I know he's just waiting for me to explode at him.
He isn't.
How can you be so sure? Pit inquired.
I can read minds, remember?
Oh yeah. But why do you want to help me? I thought you were an evil clone, and aren't you made at me for defeating you earlier in the tournament?
Yes, but that is in the past, isn't it?
Still, why are you trying to help me? Pit glanced at Mewtwo for the first time, but the Pokemon wasn't looking at him, obviously wanting to keep their telepathic conversation a secret.
The future does not bode well.
What?
Pit looked at Mewtwo again, a confused look on his face. However, Mewtwo kept a solemn face, biting into a bread roll. He had closed the connection. Pit was totally confused about how to approach Samus and Roy now without losing it. He might be okay with Samus, but now he couldn't find himself approaching Roy.
"Hey, Pit!" Samus called to the angel after breakfast. "We all wanna train now. You coming?"
"Yeah," Pit stood up and walked over to where the teens were gathered. They then moved over to the training arena.
Marth felt like training with Zelda and Link with Samus, so Roy was left with Pit. Pit was glad Roy wasn't in the mood for fighting and felt like spectating. Pit almost felt he could kill Roy.
"Wow," Roy commented. The half dragon was now obviously fully awake, watching Marth and Zelda exchange blows. Zelda had just given Marth a shapr kick in midair, knocking the Altean off his feet. Then the redhead switched to Samus and Link, where Link had just shielded himself from a strong lash of Samus's whip.
"Come on, Samus!" Pit shouted.
"Yeah!" Roy joined in.
"What?" Link cried, blocking a strong kick from Samus. "Now you're cheering for her?"
"Sorry," Pit called back. "Fine, let's go Link! Keep it strong!"
"Thank you!" Link muttered as he swiped at Samus.
After the training, Zelda went upstairs to relax, taking Link with her. Marth was tired as well, but not too tired. He remained with Roy, Pit, and Samus as they sat outside under a giant elm tree, cloud gazing.
"Roy, that cloud looks like your hair." Marth pointed to a slow-moving cloud that was passing over them.
"Cool! I have a cloud dedicated to my hair!" Roy grinned childishly.
"Well, that cloud looks just like a cloud," Samus said.
"Which one?" Marth laughed, causing the others to laugh as well.
"I like that cloud," Pit pointed to another one. "It looks like an angel."
"It's a Pit cloud!" Samus giggled.
"Marth?" Snake came up to the four under the tree. "I stole Young Link's bottle of milk, and they said unless I gave it back, they'd do something to your room."
"What?" Marth cried, sitting up. "I locked my room today!"
"Well, Purin sang Luigi to sleep and took the Master Key…" Snake said slowly.
"I knew they shouldn't have trusted that guy to be the janitor…" Marth muttered. "You gave his bottle back, right?"
Snake took the bottle out from behind him. "See for yourself…"
"Shit!" Marth jumped up. "That's the second time! Come help me!"
Snake and Marth ran back to the mansion, leaving the remaining three in an awkward silence.
"Well," Roy said finally, "that cloud looks like—"
"Just shut up, Roy," Samus snapped.
"Fine."
They all sat there in silence. Pit didn't know what happened to him. He just had to let it out, but he couldn't…Roy was a friend, but he was still mad at him. How could Roy sit there so calmly? Pit shook slightly with anger, trying to contain it, but Pit was never known for keeping his feelings in, and finally said, "Why do you still care about her?"
Roy sat up. "Pardon?"
Samus stared at the two.
Pit realized what he had just said. But it was too late to turn back now. "Why do you still love Samus?"
"W-what?" Samus spoke in a voice barely above a whisper.
"How the hell did you find out about that?" Roy cried, shocked.
"You still love her even though she's moved on!" Pit found himself shouting. He couldn't control it.
"Please," Samus said, "don't talk about it!"
"You know why we separated?" Roy yelled, returning Pit's anger. "It's because we couldn't be together in the end! And that's how it'll end up for you, too!"
"No it won't!" Pit retorted.
"Guys…" Samus started.
"Yes it will!" Roy roared, ignoring Samus.
"Well, why didn't you take your chance when you came back this year?"
"Because she fell in love with you right when she fought you for that damn movie Master made! She loved you before I saw her again!"
"Guys, stop!"
"I'm outta here," Roy stood up. "I can't stand to be around Cupid…"
"Roy…"
"Go ahead, Dragon Breath!" Pit snapped.
"Say that again!" Roy's anger boiled over and he tackled Pit.
"Stop it!" Samus screamed, and forced her way between the two guys. "It's so embarrassing, being fought over! Will you two stop being so immature?"
Roy pulled back. "I can't believe this," he muttered.
"Roy…" Samus whispered. "You still care about me?"
"Damn right! You know how excited I was to see you again? But no, all you cared about was Pit, that little angel you met while filming! I thought you would be excited to see me, but no, you just wanted to be introduced to Pit!" Roy shouted. "And you!" He pointed to Pit. "I can't believe I treated you like a friend! All you did was get mad at me for caring about Samus…all I was trying to do was bring back memories! It hurts, damn it! It hurts being rejected by her because you had to come! She barely acknowledged me after you came!" Roy ran off, away from the mansion and into the nearby forest.
"Roy!" Samus screamed. Pit stood frozen in his spot, speechless. Samus broke down crying, something unsual as she was bounty hunter. "This is all my fault…I shouldn't have tried out this year…"
"No, it's not your fault…it's all mine…"
"But I was the one who liked you the instant I saw you…I neglected Roy without knowing it…" Pit put a hand on Samus's shoulder. "When you two trained at the beginning, I was so scared. I was watching both of you fight…I didn't want either of you hurt…"
"Stay here," Pit ordered, and flew up, over the forest.
"Pit, no!" Samus cried.
"Stay here!" Pit repeated, and flew off.
Pit knew he had an advantage. One was that he was flying high and could spot Roy easily. The second was that Roy was wearing blue and red, and would stand out against the brown and green of the forest. In a minute Pit spotted him, and, bow ready, landed right in front of his path.
"Get the hell away from me!" Roy shrieked, but drew the Sword of the Seals anyway.
"Roy, I'm sorry," Pit said firmly. "I had no idea I was taking Samus away from you."
"Like hell you were…" Roy murmured, taking a step back.
Samus appeared through the shrubbery.
Pit started, "I thought I said…"
"I know. I couldn't resist. I had to follow you," Samus spoke. She turned to Roy. "I-I'm so sorry…for neglecting you…"
Roy said nothing, but gazed at Samus with his azure eyes, making Samus want to cower before him. Instead, she straightened up, and took a step towards Roy.
"Roy…I don't deserve to be forgiven…but please…please…I'm so sorry…" she whispered. Roy was frozen in his spot as Samus took another step. "Please…Roy…it wasn't Pit…it was all my fault…please…just stop arguing…"
Roy still didn't move, even when Samus was right up next to him, and he stayed put as she pressed her lips to his. Pit stood a distance off, feeling a bit awkward. After a few seconds, they pulled apart. Roy stared at Samus for a moment, then turned to Pit.
"Wow, Pit…can you forgive a bastard?"
"All the time," Pit smirked.
They shook hands, nodding to each other. Samus had to laugh at the sight.
"From now on…let's just all be friends…" she declared. "Nothing serious. To prevent more problems like this."
"Of course," Roy and Pit said in unison.
The trio headed back to the mansion.
Wow, that was a loooooong chapter! I think. I mean, longer than I usually write them. And wow, that was a short fight. Compared to Link and Zelda's situation a few chapters back. And I made Samus cry! ZOMG. LoL. Now, on to crediting reviewers!
