Chapter 5

Shadow The Hedgehog

8:00 P.M. 6/10

I sighed as I stared at the wall in Meta Knight's room. I'd been in here the past half hour and I was already bored out of my mind. I glanced around the room for the billionth time, it was a nice place, I wished I'd claimed it first. It was already dirty though, (that guy hasn't even been here one full day and already his room is a mess) I thought. I glanced over at the bed again, nothing changed. The girl was still laying there unconscious. Her, "medical treatment" if you could call it that, barely holding up. I honestly had no clue what I would do, if it came undone. I really didn't even know why I said I would wait here, considering that jerk's attitude. He better be nicer to me from now on, since I'm doing this. And he should be glad I'm nice to everybody. (Ok I need some nicer thoughts) I thought, trying to come up with something to do while I waited for Meta to come back. I stepped over to the plate of food he'd left for me and started eating.

It had gotten a little cold already, but it was still tasty. I'd seen Mell cooking in the kitchen before the "incident", she was a good cook, the food was really good. I thought back to what had happened a few hours ago, when Mell went insane. I was just talking to my buddy Ramza, when we heard somebody yelling. He turned to see who it was, and asked me if I knew who the blue thing was. I generally know everyone in the Smash Bros. tournament, so I guess he figured I would have known.I glanced over and told him who Meta Knight was, and that he was new this year. By that time Mell and Meta were already yelling at each other, and before we knew what was happening we had monsters trying to maul us over. (I wonder if Master Hand knew this was gonna happen... I doubt it... how can you predict, somebody going insane and becoming possessed by an evil side of themselves?) I thought. I'd spoken to Mell before, and she really was a nice...whatever the hell she was. I finished eating the food, and set the plate back down on the floor. I walked back over to the spot where I'd been sitting before and sat down again, doing nothing but waiting.

9:00 P.M. 6/10

50 minutes or so had passed since I sat down again. (He said he would only be gone for a little while...) I thought, expecting Meta Knight to come through the door any second now. I waited...and I waited...and I waited...and nothing ever happened.

"Grrrrr HURRY UP ALREADY!" I said, to noone in paticular, as I kicked the wall close to me.

About a minute someone popped their head through the door and said. "Hey could you keep it down or something?"

I glanced over to see who spoke and saw Ramza standing there.

"Hey Ramza, sorry about that, I'm a little bored at the moment.." I said to him.

"I didn't even know you took the room next to mine, why didn't you tell me earlier?" he replied. He had some bruises from the battle earlier.

"Oh this isn't my room, I'm watching that girl over there for the blue midget from earlier." I said, as I pointed towards the girl on the bed.

"Ouch, she lookes like she took a beating..." Ramza said.

"No fooling..." I said back.

He walked over to the bed, and held his hand out, a light shined out of his hand, and moved towards the girl, when it hit her, it dissipated and her wound was smaller.

"There we go, that should make her feel alot better when she wakes up" he said.

You see Ramza's kind of a jack of all trades when it comes to skill. He's good at fighting and magic casting and pretty much everything a fighter can be good at.

Ramza walked over, and sat down next to me.

"Well since your so bored, I guess I'll stay with you a little while, can't have you keeping everyone up like you normally do" he said with a smirk.

I typically cause trouble for everyone at night, for fun. Usually I ended up getting hurt by the end of it but it's so much fun I do it again the next night.

"No panty raids this time ok Shadow?" Ramza said.

I laughed, "You know I like the ladies" I said back.

"Yeah, but none of them like you" he said, laughing.

"So how have thing sbeen going for you?" I asked him, we hadn't got the chance to catch up in our last conversation.

"Eh, same old same old, you know me keeping the peace over in Ivalice and such" he said.

"Come on, something special has to have happened, it's been a year!" I said.

"Well...I met this girl a while back..." Ramza said.

"Oh really? and?..." I said, interested in what he was gonna say.

"Well we haven't known each other for that long... but she's nice..." he said.

"Like nice? or NICE?" I said back to him.

He blushed a little bit, and said "both."

I laughed again and said "Well what's her name?"

"Her name's Riola, I've known her for about a month, she's at the mansion actually. I invited her to come along and she got her a little after the incident, she was tired so she's asleep right now." He said/

"You'll let me meet her tomorrow right?" I said, with a smirk on my face.

"If you promise not to run her off" he said, smirking back.

"I'll try my best" I replied.

"I was planning on making something for her tomorrow morning actually, I'd rather it just be me and her for that, but afterwards I'll come find you and interduce you two to one another." He said.

I talked with him for a little bit longer, but eventually he stood back up and said "Anyways, I'm gonna go ahead and go to sleep, please don't keep me up anymore Shadow."

I frowned and said "Alright...I'll see you tomorrow..." And with that he walked out of the room and shut the door, and I resumed my boredom.

10:00 P.M. 6/10

(Well so much for not being gone for very long...) I thought, as I glanced back over at the clock. I was hungry again... but if I left to go to the kitchen and Meta came back while I was gone, I doubt he'd be very happy. I happened to glance at the second plate of food Meta Knight had brought in, the food meant for the girl. I looked back over at her, yep she was still unconscious. (The food will go to waste if it stays there for much longer) I thought. I stepped over to the plate, and sat down on the floor with it in my hand. It was cold but I didn't care, I started chomping it down as quickly as I could. A couple of minutes later, I put the now empty plate back up on the nightstand and went back to my waiting spot, my appetite now satisfied. I checked around the room again. Once more, there was nothing to be found that would cause a need for a guard to arise. (Why did I ever agree to this...) I thought. I was considering leaving, but Meta would probabaly hurt me if I did. It would be better if I just stayed here, but I was getting tired. (If he doesn't show up in the next half hour I'm going to sleep, and he can get over any anger issues he has about it.) I thought.

10:15 P.M. 6/10

I waited for about 5 more minutes, just staring at the wall when I heard the door open. I glanced back, and was filled with glee. Meta Knight was standing there! That meant I could finally leave this god forsaken room.

"Finally, there you are! do you have any idea how long I've been in this room doing absolutly nothing?!?!" I said.

"A little over 2 hours" he said back to me.

"YES! a little over 2 hours! a very long and boring two hours!" I said.

Meta Knight walked over to the bed where the girl was laying and said "Did anything happen?"

(Yes Meta, the Germans invaded, OF COURSE NOT! what the hell did you think might happen?!?!) I thought. He didn't even seem to acknowledge my last sentence.

I sighed and said "No, she just layed there the whole time..."

Meta looked her over and said, 'She seems fine."

'What did I just tell you?!?! are you even listening to me?!?!" I said back to him.

"Sort of" he replied back, "Thanks for watching her for me, you can leave now."

I wasn't about to leave after waiting here for over 2 hours, after getting nothing but a thank you.

"I'm not just gonna leave after all that" I said.

"Well what do you want then?" Meta said back, turning around and glaring at me.

"Uhh...err...ummm..." I couldn't think of anything.

"Exactly" he said, turning back around. "

Well that's not the point!, what the heck were you doing for this long anyway?!?!" I said, trying to change the subject.

"I was looking for someone..." he said.

"For two hours?!?!?!" I replied.

"Yeah for 2 hours... never found him though..." He said back.

"So I spent the past 2 hours in here for nothing?" I said, sputtering.

"If you want to think of it like that then yes, I guess you did..." he said.

(Last time I do a favor for you...) I thought.

Meta, took a spare pillow off of the bed, and set it down on the floor. "Well you can leave now...I'm going to sleep" he said.

"Grrrr...fine...but if your gonna ask me to do something for you, make it worth my damn while next time!!!" I said, kind of angry at him.

"Whatever..." Meta said, laying his head on the pillow.

I decided not to say anything else, and just walked back out into the hallway, going down one floor and into my room. I flopped on the bed, sleepily. (Man...I forgot I was tired...) I thought. I layed there for a little while longer before finally drifting off to sleep.
