I had to update! Even though my computer crashed. I am now using the ridiculous Word Pad, but it's better than nothing.
MORE PROMOTION! ( Not just me this time)
I wrote a SSBM version of Pride and Prejudice...I'm trying to keep it original, not totally repeating Jane Austen.
READ NIENNA CALMCACIL'S STORY! Malon joins the Smashers in pursuit of Link, falling in love with Roy in the process! Sorry, Nienna, I couldn't think of a better summary. REVIEW IT SO SHE UPDATES!
If you remember me saying, this chapter is going to be about how Samus and Roy met and fell in LURV! Aww...
Pit: No more stuff about me? ;o;
Nope!
Pit: D:
Chapter Twenty-Two
ONE YEAR AGO
So many new people... Samus thought nervously as she looked upon the faces of newcomers for the tournament. Last year was just twelve. This year there's nearly thirty! She scanned the crowd, inspecting each person one by one from a distance.
"Samus!" a voice made the bounty hunter jump. She turned to see Mario. "I'm so-a glad you-a got in-a this year. Welcome!"
"Thanks," Samus replied. "Master Hand seems pretty lenient now to let our numbers nearly double."
"Well, he-a did say he-a wanted more competition this-a year," Mario put his finger on his chin. "But, it's-a quite interesting, don't you-a think? New competitors and-a new friends!"
And new enemies, Samus thought sadly. She had not made many friends the previous year, save for Pikachu, who was nice to everybody. Everybody had assumed she was a male at first, until she had removed her helmet on the last day. She regretted it, partly because Captain Falcon started to hit on her, and because everyone stared. She hated being the center of attention. Mario's voice brought her from her thoughts.
"There are-a more females participating this-a year," Mario spoke. "Perhaps they'll make-a excellent new friends. One is-a Zelda, Princess of-a Hyrule, and-a the other is-a Peach, Princess of-a Mushroom Kingdom and..." he coughed, blushing slightly, "...my-a girlfriend."
Great...hoity-toity Princesses to make me feel welcome... Samus thought bitterly. But she smiled at Mario with a soft, "Thanks."
The day went slowly by with the new Smashers being introduced. Samus tried not to yawn too much, but couldn't help it. Once the last Smasher had been introduced, Samus cheered inwardly and began wandering around the mansion. It was certainly different from the year before, with two extra stories and a better training arena for everyone. She walked aimlessly around, until she slammed into someone.
"Sorry," Roy turned around. He stared at Samus a minute, who was in her body suit. "What's up, man?"
That was the wrong thing to say. Samus nearly exploded, and yanked off her helmet, her blonde hair falling around her face.
"Nothing much, except that I'm a girl and not a man!"
"Okay, sorry about that," Roy said, slightly surprised at her outburst. "It's not my fault I don't wear a suit that doesn't help others define my gender."
That was the wrong thing to say. Again.
"I want to fight you!" Samus hissed. "I'll show you that just because I'm a girl, I'm not weak."
"Hey, I didn't say you were weak..." Roy started.
"Ten minutes!" Samus broke in, and stalked away.
Samus walked up to her room to prepare. What had she done? She was such an idiot! Challenging a Smasher she knew nothing about. She hadn't paid attention to Master Hand when he had introduced Roy, and therefore knew nothing about the redhead. She groaned, collapsing on her bed. What made her so angry? It had suddenly come as soon as she had seen him. She spent the next eight minutes regretting everything, then got up to get ready. Muttering curses as she headed down the stairs, a group of Smashers already lay clustered at the bottom of the steps.
"What?" snarled Samus.
"You challenged someone already?" Ness asked boldly.
"So what if I did?" Samus retorted.
"It's odd," Ness replied. "We haven't even been here for three hours and a training fight is going to happen already! Cool!"
"It'd better be cool," Samus muttered, and entered the training arena.
Roy was already waiting for her, with a blue-haired swordsman and Link by his side. She smirked. More swordsmen. It was true Link was the only one last year, but now they had a total of four.
"Ready when you are," Roy called.
Samus walked over to the redhead. "Link, you ref," she ordered. She didn't like Link's judging much; whenever there was a disagreement he didn't know which side to take. But she didn't know the other guy and whether he was better at it or not, so she chose Link.
"Go!" Link shouted, and Samus and Roy rushed in on each other.
A strong sweep sent Samus back in the direction she had come from. Wow...he's strong...really strong...She climbed back onto her feet and shot two homing missiles at the redhead, then rushed in. Roy brought his blade back, and with a yell, countered the small missiles and struck Samus at the same time. She fell down, but quickly did a back sweep to knock the swordsman off his feet. She then grabbed him and pulled him close, hitting him while he struggled. He isn't that bad of a fighter...he's actually kind of cute...Samus purged the unwonted thoughts from her mind, then realized their bodies were close. It seemed sort of intimate, but then Samus realized she had Roy in a death grab and tossed him down.
Glad her helmet hid her blushing face, Samus came in on Roy with punches and kicks. After a few, Roy brought his blade up to meet her fist, and wish a quick upward slash, knocked her away from him. The tables turned as he grabbed her and began to knee her in the stomach.
Ow! Well, this suit is just plain useless...Samus found she wasn't writhing in his grasp, but sitting like a tame puppy, letting him beat her. Before she could wonder as to why she bothered to just sit, Roy threw her into the air, and thrust his sword up to meet her. A burning sensation took over her body.This suit is useless. Before she knew it, she engulfed in flames. Fire! How...?
Samus was forced into the air, but she grinned as she came down, preparing for her special downward blow that sent a Smasher's percentage soaring. She readied her strong arm and brought it down on Roy as hard as she could, but again he brought up his sword, and with an incoherent cry in Japanese, sent her lit up in fire to the ground. How the hell did he do that? That's my special move that always works! Shit...he's beating the crap outta me...
Roy came in, dealing blow after blow with his sword. Samus found herself unable to move. One strong slice sent Samus to the other side of the arena, and Roy did not hesitate to get into some sort of stance. Samus ignored the fact that he began to glow as she rubbed her head. Then she noticed Roy stood, unmoving, on the other side. She took her chance and ran in, fist ready to collide with his jaw. He had angered her so much, and shattered her pride. She came within a few feet of him, arm raised, but as she took one more step, Roy let out a loud cry and brought his glowing sword down on Samus. She burned again, but it was more painful. Screaming (which was something she never did), Samus hit the wall of the arena and collapsed.
"Game! Samus is unable to continue! The victor is Roy!" Link shouted.
Damn you, Link. Samus hissed in her mind when she stood up. She could have kept fighting, but elfie had to call it off. Her suit had failed her miserably, and she pulled her helmet off, breathing heavily.
"Good fight," Roy came over, holding his hand out.
Samus ignored it, staring daggers at the redhead. "I could've kept fighting."
"Well, let's train again sometime, with someone else as the ref. Marth's good at that kind of stuff, you know."
Samus glanced at the blue-haired swordsman, who smiled at her. "Yeah. This one was too short, anyway."
"The next one might be shorter," Roy smiled at her. Samus forced herself not to smile back and melt. "Because now you know all my moves."
"Maybe," Samus said. "Well, I'm going to go rest now. See you later. Oh, and good fight, Roy." She found herself running from the training arena, forgetting the curious glares, and up to her room. She closed the door with a loud slam, and approached the full length mirror. She pulled off her armor, revealing her tight-fitting blue suit. She was still breathing heavily, her heart pounding. It fluttered as she remembered being so close to Roy when he had grabbed her, and her breathing now became short. She flopped onto the bed, trying to forget his face, but couldn't. She smacked herself in the face and went to the bathroom to wash up. She was all sweaty now, and took a quick shower to freshen up. She pulled on some jeans a tank top, knowing the other Smashers would be surprised to see her in something other than her suit. She went to the mirror, staring at herself. Funny...since when did I care about how I dressed? She let her hair down and came back to the hall, shutting her door after her. Lunch would be in a few minutes.
"Oh Samus, honey, you look so pretty like that!" Samus cringed at the fluttery, high-pitched voice of Peach. "So much better than that nasty old suit."
"Nasty as it may look, it has proved useful lately," Samus replied, trying not to glare at the blonde curly-haired Princess in a bright pink dress with red high heels.
"Oh, sure, but you look so much better like this," Peach cooed.
"I can't fight like this."
"I know that, dear, but you look absolutely charming!"
"Thanks?"
"You're welcome. So, who're you doing it for?"
"Pardon?"
"Mario told me you never step out of your suit. Who are you doing it for?"
"No one."
"Really? So you just decide to not wear it, today of all days?"
"Yes."
"So it's not for Roy?" Samus wished she hadn't turned red because then Peach wouldn't have giggled at her. "That's so adorable, dear."
"Please don't call me 'dear'."
"Apologies, then, Samus. I'll see you down at lunch," Peach brushed past Samus and went to the stairs. "By the way, you two would be so cute together."
Samus could only stare in shock after the Princess. How dare she say such things! I don't like Roy! I don't! Samus trailed after the Princess and into the dining room.
"There she is," she heard Marth say upon her entrance. Roy stood up.
"Hey, Samus! Over here!" he called. Samus froze. Don't make eye contact...don't make eye contact...don't may eye contact...she told herself. She did, then wished she didn't. Immediately lost in the azure eyes, Samus found herself walking over to him. "I want to know more about you...if you don't mind."
"No, it's okay," Samus said, trying to keep her voice from cracking with fear. She felt so jitttery as Roy pulled out the chair next to him for her. Wow...such a gentleman...
"You're an amazing fighter," Roy spoke, to start the conversation. "I've never battled anyone like you."
"Likewise," Samus replied, taking no notice of Master and Crazy as they came in and made the food appear. "How do you summon fire like that? It's amazing." And quite sexy...
"I'm not sure. I don't know if it's my sword, or me. My friends say I'm half dragon, but I don't know," Roy mused, ignoring the food that appeared in front of him.
Samus flipped her long hair behind her back, and noticed with her peripheral vision that he was gawking at her like an idiot. She also saw Marth jab him.
"What?" Roy snapped.
Through the tournament, Samus and Roy grew closer. They began to focus on nothing but each other. They forgot to feel down when they lost to their opponents. They ignored Master's announcements with Crazy's hysterical yells in the background. They even ignored the fact that Falco won the tournament. On the last day, everyone was departing for home, stepping into special portals to return to their worlds. Everyone else was downstairs, but the two sat in Roy's room, refusing to leave early.
Roy lay on his bed, one arm tucked behind his head and the other around Samus's slender waist. Samus lay next to Roy with her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. They sat in silence, until Roy finally said,
"How are we going to keep in touch?"
Samus sat up, much to Roy's dismay. "Well, Master is developing a special system, but he said we won't be able to use it until next year's tournament."
Roy also sat up, and pulled Samus into a kiss. She giggled girlishly, something she rarely did. They continued to kiss passionately until Master's loud voice on the intercom interrupted them.
"Last reminder, Smashers. Please report to the portal immediately. I know you all don't want to stay here with me, so let's get you all home!"
Roy pulled away from Samus. "I'm going to miss you...terribly...horribly...desperately..."
"Is it possible to miss one desperately? Don't you mean you want to see me desperately?"
"Well, yeah."
They grabbed their things and headed downstairs, Roy's arm draped around Samus. The only remaining Smashers were Mario, Peach, Luigi, The Ice Climbers, Marth, and Mr. Game and Watch.
"There you are," Marth said upon Roy's arrival. Roy shrugged at Marth, grinning like a little kid.
"Can't wait to see you next year," Roy pulled Samus into a hug and a kiss.
"Of course."
"I love you."
Samus smiled. "I love you, too."
"I won't forget you. I'll think about you all the time. Promise to always be my girl?"
"I do." Samus giggled again.
Roy kissed her one last time and then stepped into the portal, waving goodbye. Marth was rolling his eyes, but he was smiling. Samus waved to Roy until he was no longer visible and completely gone.
"Until next year," she whispered before she prepared to leave herself.
Ta da! There you have it!
