"Sorry about being so cold earlier," she said, sitting next to R.O.B, who was laid back on the couch. "I… haven't exactly been happy lately. It has nothing to do with you," she sighed deeply and closed her eyes. "I wish I could take back some of the things I said."

"I don't think you were honestly that rude." said R.O.B, his mechanical head turning towards Samus. She smiled at him.

"I dunno what's wrong with me, I just feel boring and I don't know how to fix it- everything still feels really confusing to me and… I'm just at a loss where to go." Samus stated. R.O.B jumped off the couch.

"You know what? Let's just go on a walk." stated R.O.B. Samus laid further back into the couch.

"Do we have to? It's snowing." she stated, evident she was not in the mood.

"Come on, it's a lot easier to think when you're moving. Besides, you don't need to worry about the cold or anything." said R.O.B.

"Ugh… fine." said Samus, getting up and putting a coat over her Zero Suit. She walked out the apartment door and made her way over to the elevator, R.O.B tagging close behind. She opened it to find Peach waiting inside, in a ski suit that hugged more of her figure than they expected.

"You guys going skiing?" asked Peach.

"No… just on a walk." said Samus. Peach glanced over to R.O.B.

"So… you guys are a thing." said Peach. Samus rolled her eyes, about to launch into fury if she started talking shit.

"Yeah…" Samus said nonchalantly as she could. "We have been for a while…"

"Well… I don't really follow what's going on, honestly. Oh and I have such a terrible memory…" she whined.

"Well, we're stopping now." said Samus as the elevator doors opened. She and R.O.B walked out to get away from Peach who waved to them as they went. They came out of the automatic doors of the Smash Mansion and walked on the cobble mansion ground, making their way to the walking trail.

"Well… you must have something to say if you wanted us to walk." said Samus. She wasn't actually sure, but she couldn't imagine it being much else.

"I'm not doing it anytime soon but… have you thought about marriage?" asked R.O.B. Samus seemed pretty taken back with the question, her head knocking back.

"I have not thought about that." she stated plainly. Truth was, she wasn't sure if she wanted to be married. even if it was with R.O.B who had been the longest relationship she had so far. It felt too formal for her, too… normal she supposed.

"Well… I mean I've thought about it a little but I haven't bought anything for engagement or any plans like that. I suppose you're not interested in the idea…?" asked R.O.B. Samus nodded yes, not wanting to hurt R.O.B.

"I mean… just… I dunno. It's the longest relationship I've ever had but I don't feel like putting a ring on it because it just ties you down with so much and…" she stopped to take a moment. "...I don't know if I want to do that."

"Understandable." said R.O.B. His eyes petered down and then went back up.

"Just… not right now, okay?" asked Samus. She sighed deeply, stressing out. R.O.B glanced at her.

"You okay?" he asked. She took another breath, stressing.

"Yeah." she simply stated. She glanced behind her at the Smash Mansion, heading farther and farther away from it.
