I don't own Samus, Zelda, Lightning, Fang or Vanille! They all belong to Nintendo and Square Enix!

Interesting Christmas

Chapter 2

Dinner Time

Samus seated awkwardly in her chair. She and her new guests were sitting in the living room, still waiting for Zelda with her new quests, being really awkwardly quiet. And one of them, Vanille, couldn't keep her eyes off of Samus, and that really bothered and made her really unconformable. "Hey Vanille, you might stop staring at Samus there." Fang said. Some amusement in her voice.

"But Fang... That's...!" Vanille wasn't able to finish her sentence when Fang raised her finger on her lips.

"So..." Samus started awkwardly. "How exactly you know Zelda and how the hell haven't she said anything about you?" she asked. Both Fang and Lightning, Claire noticed slight annoyance in her voice. And they didn't blame her.

"Well me, Sunshine and rest of us ("Hey!" Vanille screamed when Fang "left" her out) kind of got "invited" couple days ago. And while getting used to this place we kind of bumped up with Zel and she was kind enough to show us around better." she explained. Fang noticed that Samus didn't like the sound of her voice when she used one of Zelda's nicknames. And in fact so didn't Claire.

But, this was so much like Zelda. She was always so open and friendly with strangers even if they were their competitions. While Samus didn't want to have anything to with them. She would rather just keep her distance from them and let them just be. "So, what your world is like?" Samus suddenly asked. She was bit curious to find out what kind of world they lived on.

So far she, Captain Falcon, Fox and his friends came from a different kind of "universe" which held high technology. Like this place. "What you mean?" Vanille asked, cocking her head on her side, like a puppy that didn't understood. "Uuuuh..." Samus wasn't sure how to actually ask them. Since they were Zelda's and hers guests, she didn't want to insult them. She felt small shivers going through her skin when she thought what Zelda might do to her if she knew she had offended her new friends.

Lightning didn't seem to like the way Vanille was acting and cleared her throat rather loudly. "She probably wants to ask about what sort of technology our world holds, am I right?" she asked, looking straightly at Samus, who didn't like the way Claire or Lightning stared at her. It reminded too much of herself.

"Yeah." she answered, while rubbing back of her neck awkwardly. "How did you know?"

"Oh Sunshine here just has really luck." Fang interrupted Lightning with a laugh. Once again Samus noticed the way Lightning reacted when Fang used the name "Sunshine". It seemed like Lightning despised it, but there was also something else in that look which Samus wasn't sure about. Amusement maybe?

"So..." Samus started, still being bit awkward. "I guess what you just said", she said at Lightning. "That meant yes?" damn she felt really stupid. But why was that? Was it because when she had asked Zelda about that, she had made herself look like an idiot that time? Maybe. "Yeap." Fang answered before Lightning could with that same big smile of hers.

"But not so far like yours" she commented. "I mean, that armor of yours looks really impressive." she said. Then turned her gaze on Lightning. "Sunshine here was really taken when she saw it." Fang laughed, while Lighting's cheeks were burning bit red. "Fang..." she growled.

"What about me Fang!" Vanille almost screamed, which made Fang flinch couple inches away from Vanille.

"Wow! Calm your horses there Vanille! I almost got deaf there." Fang said. "And we, and especially she knows that you are right now head over heels on her." Fang pointed at Samus, who once again started feel unconformable about the fact that she was in a same room with over-energized fan girl. Silence once again taking over the room.

"Damn!" Fang suddenly jumped, which also caused Samus and everybody else in the room jump a bit when she looked at the clock. "It's seven-thirty trhee!" she said loudly. She then turned to Samus. "You better tell that pretty princess of yours to get her pretty ass up or else we are going loose those tables!" Samus gave a little glare at Fang when she mentioned Zelda's behind. "Now!"

Samus wasn't exactly sure what had happened couple seconds ago, but somehow this strange person Fang had been able to tell her what to do, and she had obeyed. There was just something in that voice tone that made her suddenly work like a machine. But she didn't need to walk further from the the couches when Zelda's room door opened.

Samus could't help but stare Zelda in awe. She could see that Zelda had taken up her suggestion about using some hair spray, and it looked like she had placed small diamonds around her hair and adding the dress she was wearing, Zelda looked at her best. Maybe even better than usually, in Samus' eyes at least. "Wow." was all that came from her mouth.

"I guess you like it then?" she asked, smile forming on her lips.

"Hey you two!" they heard Fang yelling from the door. "You can give compliments on the way!"

"We better do what she says." Zelda said with amused tone. "Claire had said that in these kinds of time, Fang tends to get bit tense ins situations like these."

"Bit?" Samus asked as they went to join Fang and others. All Samus got for an answer was a small giggle from Zelda.

"Yeah, yeah. Giggle your ass off there." Fang said like Zelda had offended her.

Soon all five of them were dressed up and walking outside the hotel. "There's the ride." Fang pointed at the taxi. "You came with that?" Samus asked. She wasn't exactly fan of public vehicles. "Yeap." Fang nodded. "And if you don't want to be late..." Fang went inside the vehicle before she finished whatever she was going to say.

Later. At the restaurant.

"Whew! Can't believe that we even made in time." Fang took deep breath, while taking some sweat off of her forehead. Almost immediately when they had arrived Fang had literally sprinted out of the taxi, leaving poor Lightning to do the payment. But they were here and now could relax a bit. "Damn it's hot in this thing." she complained. Opening her coat so she could cool herself.

She soon reached Lightning and others who were waiting for her right next to the door, their coats hanging on the and Fang could tell that Light didn't looked really happy. "Dang, she's going to kill me later." she thought. "Hi everyone! But Sunshine, why so down?" that didn't help Fang at all. In fact it seemed like it only made Lightning even more irritated.

"Uuuuh... what if you take us to the tables?" Zelda decided to cut in before they might have verbal fight and that might ruin the pleasant atmosphere.

"Yeah, sure." Fang said, taking her own coat off and left it hanging right next to Lightnings coat.

Soon Samus found herself sitting on the table, Zelda on her right, Vanille (much to her annoyance) on her left. And she couldn't shut herself up from asking about the galaxy where came from. "How big place is your Galaxy? How many planets have you visited? How pretty... Are you even listening!" Samus groaned.

"Why don't you give Sammy here some room Vanille?" Fang asked, like she was talking to her little sister, to which Samus wondered if they were. "You don't need to bomb her all the time. You had rather good chance in the taxi." Fang laughed.

Samus fought hard not to grimace at that memory. The trip had almost felt like it would take forever and she was getting really tired of answering Vanille's constant questions. Thankfully she had stopped when they had reached the restaurant but she had hoped that was the end of it. But no. "But Fang..." Vanille pouted.

"I'm not going start talking about this again Vanille." Fang said, shaking her finger. A small sound escaped Vanille's lips, which told her disappointed.

"So, this is the new meat?" suddenly a smug voice spoke behind Fang and Lightning. Samus and Zelda seemed to know who it was, while Vanille started at the unknown guest with big eyes while she silently said. "No way!"

"Neither of you don't look so tough. And... is that your real hair color?" Both Lightning and Fang were sure that their "guest" was insulting Lightning, who seemed to be bit tense and also had a flicker of fire in her eyes. "Calm down there Light." Fang whispered, placing her hand on Lights shoulder. That seemed to calm her down bit.

"Wolf. Get out of here!" Samus said with angry tone.

"Why so hostile Aran?" Wolf asked, a smirk on his lips. His arms crossed over his chest. "I was only hoping to meet these newbies. To see if they are up to the challenge." he said, while eying Vanille with critical eye since he couldn't fully judge Fang or Lightning.

"Well, the little one here doesn't seem to be much." he pointed at Vanille, who protested with loud "HEY!".

From that comment, Fang got up quickly from her chair and faced Wolf with cold stare and was able to hid her slight surprise about the fact that there was a wolf standing right in front of her, with rather strange looking gear. And other bizarre thing was that he was called "Wolf". How unoriginal and stupid was that anyway?

. "Well, you look like feisty one." Wolf said amused. "Maybe you will put up some challenge. I wonder if pinky here can even fight at all." he sneered. Vanille, Samus and Zelda could see how Lightnings knuckles slowly turned white. Fang on the other hand was giving Wolf even colder stare, but he didn't either noticed or cared.

"Maybe she and Peach can discuss about next hair styles..." Wolf chuckled at the end of his last sentence. That seemed to set Lightning off as she got quickly up and was now facing Wolf with colder and lot more fire in her stare than Fang that it actually made Wolf take couple steps away from the table.

"Well..." Wolf said, sounding really surprised, even bit scared. "I guess I was wrong about you." he commented. But his expression changed back to its original smirk and amusement. "I bet you and Aran might have something in common then." he laughed.

"Don't do anything rash Light." Fang whispered, while holding Lightning from her shoulder, making sure that Lightning wouldn't go and maim this Wolf character. They didn't want to cost any trouble right now.

Wolf seemed to hear what Fang whispered and was about give another comment of his, but then Zelda got up from her chair. Even though she didn't show any sights of anger or frustration towards Wolf, they all could feel the slight change in atmosphere around Zelda. "I think it's best if you leave Wolf." she said calmly. But Samus knew too well that Zelda was right now really frustrated with Wolf.

"How the hell does she do that?" she wondered. She could remember when Zelda had become bit frustrated with her when they had met for the first time. Even if she didn't revealed her anger or frustration, but you still knew you had crossed the line and things might turn bad. And no doubt Wolf knew that now too.

Something changed in his expression, but it lasted only couple seconds before he threw back his old attitude. "I guess I'll see you on the arena after the holidays." he then gave slight bow to Zelda either out of some respect, or just for mockery. "Have a pleasant evening." after that, Wolf left the five women alone.

"Wow." Vanille then broke the silence. "Talk about a complete bully!"

"What's that guys problem anyway." Fang asked as she and other returned to their seats.

"He's been always like that." Samus sighted. "And won't change even if you beat him into a bloody pulp." for some reason that made both Lightning and Fang laugh and soon Samus, Zelda and Vanille found themselves laughing with them.

"So, I guess you had lot of experience with that then?" Fang asked.

Samus got quickly good grip of herself. "I don't think so."

Well, here was the second chapter.I hope you liked this one and sorry if you didn't.
