Chapter eight

--

Marth packed his belongings slowly, he really didn't want to go. This tournament was his entertainment, he loved it. Why did Master Hand have to get hurt?

He sighed, folding one of his light blue colored tunics and placing it gently into his luggage.

Why was he packing things so slowly, knowing Ike he'd come in here any minute and m--

"Hey, Marth!" The door slammed open, sending papers flying everywhere; along with some of his clothes that were now scattered all over the floor. The prince frowned, sitting down miserably and looking up at his friend.

"...What?" Ike rose a brow, shrugging off the prince's saddened expression. He took a seat next to the prince, placing a rather large map onto Marth's lap. "Look! There's pretty good places around here."

Marth glanced down at the map then back up to Ike as if questioning the older if he was stupid. "Yeah.."

"Don't act like you already knew, come on. Put on your make-up and tiara so we can go" Ike jumped up, running over to the door and opening it for the two of them.

"I'm not going Ike...I have a lot of packing to do.." Marth glanced at his friend before returning to pack. The prince began folding his clothing and placing it neatly into his luggage before two strong hands wrapped around him and picked him up. "Whaa-"

The prince had been thrown over the other's shoulder as they both headed out the door. "I wasn't asking you if you wanted to go Marth, I said come."

Marth crossed his arms, sighing as both males made their way outside of the mansion.

--Outside--

"You know, you have a very rude way of getting a person to come somewhere with you" Marth walked next to his friend, as Ike gazed about somewhat amazed he hadn't noticed this town when he first arrived at the mansion.

"Yeah well what do you want me to do? Get on my knees and beg for you to come?" Ike didn't spare a glance towards Marth, but rather looked down at his map.

"That doesn't sound too bad. Maybe you could try that next time" Marth smiled when Ike waved the prince off in annoyance.

Ike, rather than watch where he's going decided that the map would tell him exactly where he's went. Therefore, earning him several "watch where you're going!" and "Hey!"

Ike didn't really care, all he wanted to do was find something entertaining to do. Then..he saw it.

"Marth...Let's go to the movies," Marth frowned, slapping a hand against his forehead.

"I don't have time for this. Sheeda is probably furious by now, and...that's too..nevermind, I'm leaving."

The young prince began walking away; Ike sighed walking over to the younger and tossing him once again over his shoulder.

"It's only 1:00pm, she's not going to bite your head off...on second thought she might" Ike shrugged, walking over to the ticket window "but whatever."

Marth sighed, looking over his shoulder he found Ike in deep thought. "Hey Marth, what should we watch?"

Marth turned his attention to the "Now Playing" screen. Hm...Blood B-- woah not that one for sure. Hm...Love's True Arising, aw that sounds nice.

"What about 'Love's True Arising'?" Marth looked over at Ike once again, searching for approval. But Ike didn't look like he was approving much.

"Are you trying to give off the wrong impression?" Ike rose a brow, giving Marth a quick glance before looking back at the movie list. "You know what, let a man handle this, princess Marth."

Marth rolled his eyes, kicking Ike in the chest "will you put me down already, you think a guy carrying a guy doesn't give off a wrong impression?"

Ike merely tossed the prince to the side, his full attention being on which movie he should watch. He finally came to a conclusion, which to Marth's horror, was a gorey film.

Marth stood up, dusting himself off. "You could've been nicer about whe--" "You're right, I could've."

The young prince crossed his arms, glaring at his friend for being so rude. Speaking of rude, what was he doing?

Ike reached towards the Altean, taking the younger's wallet and to his surprise, paying for the tickets.

"...why--" "Well I'm not paying for the tickets so you might aswell."

The prince sighed, catching his wallet as it was tossed back at him. Shoving it into his pocket, Ike dragged the younger into the theatre.

--At the mansion--

Sheeda paced back and forth, becoming more irritated every second.

Where. Is. MARTH?!

He's certainly not in his room. OR in the mansion, I've checked every. single. ROOM!! Sheeda gritted her teeth, pacing back and forth.

Maybe he's ran away with another woman! Just so he won't be with me anymore! Well, I'll show him who's boss!

Sheeda growled, marching over to her dear prince's room.

Her smile was almost maniacal, insane perhaps.

He'll learn his lesson.

And with that, the young princess opened the unlocked door. Slamming it shut right after she was in.

--Outside--

"That was the worst movie I have ever seen!" Marth exclaimed, crossing his arms as he paced himself quickly.

"Worst? It scared the shit out of you! You jumped so many times I thought you were having a seizure" Ike grinned, when Marth gave a soft 'huff' and quickened his pace even more.

"It was idiotic, that's why."

Ike began laughing as he caught up to Marth, "That's why you were clinging to every sane person that was at the very least, ten feet away from you?"

A small tint of pink rose up on the bridge of Marth's nose. The prince pouted angrily, taking the matter more seriously than Ike.

"I..I was doing no such thing," Ike ceased his laughter, this time wearing a smug look.

"That's why you held onto me for about thirty minutes? But who am I to complain, I can't say I didn't enjoy it," Ike grinned, making Marth even more embarassed.

"I..I it's..not even true!" Ike shrugged letting the matter drop. He glanced around once again, there were so many nice places around this town. If he had only seen them earlier he would've spent his time here instead of on the couch.

"Hey Marth, want some ice cream?" Marth glared at his friend, he obviously was still angered at the mercenary.

"I'll take your loving gaze as a yes," Ike went up to a stand, ordering two ice cream cones. He would definatly pay for it this time, Marth was mad enough as it seemed. Handing the ice cream over to the prince, the mercenary pondered once again on where to go to next.

Marth on the other hand, stood there with his ice cream cone; obviously still embarassed on how the movie incident had gone.

The prince licked the ice cream once before smashing it against the mercenary's face.

"Now we're even!" The Altean stomped away from his friend, making his way back to the mansion. Stupid..Ike..

Ike blinked, swiping some ice cream off of his face.

"Ohhh, that guy got dissed by his girl," Ike had to laugh at that one, if only Marth was here to hear it.

Chapter Eight done!

Poor Marth doesn't know what he's expecting back at the mansion.

Well, sorry it took me so long to update. There will probably be one more chapter until the sequal.

So, any suggestions?
