Fitting In
"I never want to do that again." I mumbled through gritted teeth which clinked together like chimes.
"The newbie's already tired?" A deep mocking voice shattered my mood immediately. I looked up into Ganandorf's piercing eyes. I spun around and walked away against my will of knocking him out. His laughs echoed through the empty room.
"I hate him… no I hate all of the evil/ bad guy people here." I said marching through another door way to find Link, Samus, Zelda, and Pit.
"Nice match." Samus said and I realized she was not in her armor, but in a Zero- Suit.
"Uh…thanks, but what's with the wardrobe change?" I asked cocking one eyebrow.
"We just had our match," She said pointing to Zelda and then herself; against Toon Link and the Ice Climbers. I got the Smash Ball, and what do you know, my power is so great for my suit that it short circuit's it and falls off leaving me in this." Her tone was sour as she spoke.
I stood upright, thinking. After the match I had stayed in the wardrobe room for awhile, but I did not realize I had missed a whole match. "Is there a match right now?" I asked.
"Yeah, Lucario and Snake against Lucas and Ness." Link said.
"Oh…" I said wanting to go, but having no sense of direction I had no idea where the match was.
"I wanted to go watch." Pit piped up. I looked at the angle winged boy. His ruffled brown hair sprawled in all directions.
"Me too." Said Zelda. "Link, let's go for the end of the match."
"Sure Zel." He said and they headed for the door followed by Pit and then Samus. I landed in perfect stride with Samus keeping a small distance from her.
"So, I take it you don't like not having your armor." I said sensitively.
"I hate it. You should know how I feel." She said looking at me.
"Excuse me?" I said not understanding her odd comment.
"Look at you, look at me. Tall slender girls both pretty and dangerous, you remember last night don't you. I was surprised when you did not get a wolf whistle." I stared at the floor. Sure I was…attractive…and everyone's jaws had dropped… slightly…
"Do you receive wolf whistles?" I asked, teasing her a little.
"Only from Captain Falcon, but he's in the infirmary right now." She said with a small chuckle, I didn't ask why he was in the infirmary, mainly because I had a good idea why. I looked at my clothes and tugged at my primitive skirt.
"I guess your right…but then again, we can kick their butts." I smiled and she laughed again.
"You're definitely going to fit in here." She said and two of us entered the stadium finding seats close to the back. I watched the match, but did not pay that much attention. I was really hungry now that I thought about it. My stomach growled to prove my point. Lucario and Snake won hands down both with one life left. I stayed seated as everyone left and waited for the room to be clear before I stood up. Lucario had reentered the stage he leapt onto the seating and walked to meet me.
"Nice job." I said smiling at him.
"It was easy." He said smiling back.
"That's good…What do we do now?"
"Are you hungry?" He asked as my stomach growled again.
"Apparently I am." I said scowling at my stomach.
"Let's eat." He said and led the way out of the room.
I ate lunch with Lucario, Snake, Meta Knight and Ike. It was interesting and a total change of atmosphere between Samus and the others I had just been with. I felt really relaxed around them, yet it was like I was more of my real self around them. I was wondering why no one had asked me about my power, I knew Meta Knight and Lucario had not told them…unless…
I finished Lunch with them before storming off.
"Wolf!" I yelled spotting him with Bowser and Ganandorf, but I didn't care.
"What's wrong?" He questioned looking at me from across the room. He was facing me and Bowser and Ganandorf were in front of him, now turning to face me too as my eyes flashed dangerously.
"How dare you…" I started.
"Looks like Wolf is already in trouble with his pretty friend." Ganandorf noted and Bowser gave a low laugh.
"Back off!" I snapped pushing Bowser and Ganandorf aside. They stumbled back a bit before recovering their position and closing around me as I rounded on Wolf.
"What did I do?" He said as cool as he could possibly be.
"Guess." I hissed.
"I despise guessing games." He said irrelevantly.
"You talked, told everyone about me, about my power." I grabbed his shirt.
"Temper, Temper." He said clicking his tongue. "After your display in the stadium everyone wanted to know who you were. Now everyone does know, but it wasn't just me… your biography is open to anyone who can look it up. Besides, you never told me to keep my mouth shut." He smiled as if he had just won his greatest match ever. I brought him toward me and grimaced at him my sharp teeth reflecting in his eyes. I let a growl ripple from my throat before throwing him to the ground.
"We'll talk later." I said and spun around the two others blocking my path. "Get out of my way!" I said, but they were ready when I tried to shove them out of the way, they did not budge an inch, instead, they closed in taking small steps until I was left with almost no personal space.
"Let her go." Wolf said standing up.
"Why?" Asked Bowser.
"Unless you want to be killed by elfin and banshee power I suggest you give her some space." He said and they took one step back. I slid past them facing Wolf. "You're welcome." He said as I strolled past him.
"No you're not." I said flashing him a devilish smile before leaving the room. As soon as I was out of sight I began taking huge gulps of air. That was really close, I was about to let go…
"Some row you just had." Marth said looking down at me under his bangs of blue hair.
"That was nothing… trust me." I said recalling a certain time in a certain author's life when she created me and I got so angry I destroyed the whole planet in the Galaxy of Granthon in about five minutes (And only because I was angry at this one guy)
"So what was that about?" He asked.
"A dispute between friends." I said simply.
"Wolf's your friend." He said in a puzzled voice. "So are you some kind of villainess." His question hit me hard. I had not realized that Wolf was a villain, not until right now, but this way it all made sense…duh… how could I be so stupid.
"I…I didn't even think of him as a villain." I muttered.
"Trust me you should." Fox said joining in walking over to meet us with Falco behind him. "I should know I've had to fight him more than anyone."
"Oh…right." I said tugging on one of my bangs slightly with my left hand.
"Yeah…he hasn't been a piece of cake for us either." Falco said rolling his eyes.
"So are you a villain or not?" Marth asked again tapping his foot impatiently.
"I'm…a little of both, in truth I don't really care for a side on anything I'm the neutral party." I said hoping that answer would suffice.
"That won't do." Marth said. "Everyone had pieces of good and evil inside of them, what matters is what side you act on." I mulled that over in my head.
"It determines if you fit in with us or them." Falco said pointing at their group and then behind me in the general direction of the group of Villains.
"I would like to think of myself as good." I said quietly.
"Then welcome to the club." Falco said invading my space, putting a wing around me and leading me into another room. "Don't worry about your decision this way you will be able to ally with us." He said and then I saw Meta Knight, Lucario, Link, Zelda, Lucas, Snake, Ness, Ike, Kirby, Pikachu, R.O.B. and a whole lot of others who I now fit in with.
It was nice knowing I could fit in.
