So, who did it? Master Hand knows, so let's find out! Fifth chapter already.

BTW thanks for the great reviews, Mind Seeker

Wounded

"Well?" asked a genuinely worried Falco.

"Let's look at the facts. There are two suspects. Sonic is one. He could have tied up Tabuu and attacked Meta Knight, with good justification. Or, Tabuu attacked Meta Knight and tied himself up. The answer is neither. Tabuu had had his daily payment of a cookie, and obviously, left crumbs behind. On inspection, there are no crumbs there now. Let me put in a side note here. Crazy is allergic to those cookies, which is the real reason they're locked, as he finds them delicious. So the one thing you never do is give him the task of cleaning the kitchen. Each gram of cookie lasts for a minute each and about five grams of crumbs so he'll stop any minute now."

"That better be any second now."

"Why?"

"Look out!"

Everyone (Except Meta Knight and Sonic) dived out of the way of the incoming projectile. However, the blue glow disappeared and Crazy dropped and started writhing and thrashing about.

"In other words, it was Crazy Hand with the cookies in the kitchen."

"Cluedo references?"

"Yes. Anyway, regardless of when he wakes up, Meta Knight will have to stay in for another week. Sonic can stay for the night."

"Sorry if I freaked you out earlier, but you probably won't trust me in here so I'll go," said Sonic

"Nonsense."

"I'd feel better if I was in my room."

"Okay then."

A groan was heard from the bed, followed by a groggy voice.

"Then I'll have to postpone my date," Meta Knight was conscious. Jigglypuff ran over and hugged him. "Be careful! I've just been run over by a giant hand! I don't need to be choked!"

"Sorry," Jigglypuff released him.

The next day Meta Knight was bored. He was allowed to sit up but not allowed to get out of bed. However help was at hand in the form of Jigglypuff. She never left the infirmary except for meals and at night. Falco also came quite often. Sonic usually came in to say sorry, and then came in five minutes later to say the same. Meta Knight also apologized to Sonic for what he had done, but Sonic said he didn't deserve Jigglypuff. Kirby sometimes came up with what could only be described as Mount Food. Kirby offered some but Meta Knight wasn't hungry often. He started to get more and more bored until a few days later, when the four of them came to see him with a board game they had made together.

"What's this?" asked Meta Knight.

"The Super Board Game," responded Falco. Meta knight laughed. "Seriously!"

"How do you play?"

"Pick a figure," Meta Knight saw a tiny, plastic version of the five of them each. "Roll the dice to see who goes first, and then play it like you would any other board game." Meta Knight saw the board, which showed the adventures so far. Most of it was in pen, but the word Finish was in pencil. "That's because we haven't finished our adventures yet." Meta Knight noticed the hundreds of blank squares. Then the occupied squares had events that would be activated if a certain character landed on them. He saw "Meta Knight beats Sonic in a race. Meta Knight moves forward two squares, Sonic moves back one." The accompanying picture was Meta Knight copying Sonic's side taunt.

"Hah, this looks like fun!" Now this was odd. Meta Knight had never said anything was fun before. But the others shrugged it off and they played it again and again.

The next day, Jigglypuff hadn't come yet, but Falco had.

"Let me guess, you want help with Samus?" asked Meta Knight.

"How'd you know?"

"Sonic is fast."

"How do I ask her out?"

"I don't know."

"You've got a girlfriend!"

"She asked me!"

"Touché."

"You're not as dumb as I thought."

"Hey!"

"I didn't call you dumb. I didn't think you were dumb at all. I thought you were quite clever."

"That's a good one. I'll use that."

"Be careful."

"I will."

"Good then."

"Okay."

"Very well."

"I'll be going now."

"You do that."

"I will."

"Goodbye."

"Bye."

Falco left and Jigglypuff came in.

"What did he want?" she asked.

"How to ask out Samus."

"Aaah."

Meanwhile, down in The Room, Falco is starting to sweat under nervousness. He almost backed out but he stuck to his plan. As Samus walked past Falco tripped her up.

"Wanna try that again, smart guy?" asked Samus threateningly.

"You're not as dumb as you look."

"Why you..."

"I wasn't implying that you look dumb, I was implying that you look clever. As well as beautiful." Samus blushed. Falco continued. "Would you want to say, go out with me?"

"Sure." As Samus walked away Falco did a little dance. Trust Wolf to see it and laugh. The bipedal bird rushed up to tell the Knight the good news.

The door to the infirmary was smashed open as a blue figure (not Sonic) rushed inside speaking almost gibberish.

"'regoingoutisn'titfantastic!" Falco screamed in the space of three seconds.

"Pardon?"

"I asked Samus out using my plan and it worked and she said yes and now we're going out isn't it fantastic!" Falco screamed in seven seconds, being more legible.

"Yes, excellent." Meta Knight congratulated.

"Well done!" Jigglypuff squealed.

At the end of his wounded week, Master Hand came in.

"You're free to go now."

"YES!" Meta Knight Shuttle Looped out of bed, nearly sending Master Hand flying. Meta Knight flew into his room, and into his girlfriend, who was about to leave to see him.

"Who's there?"

"Me."

"Meta Knight!" she squealed. She jump-hugged him so hard he fell out of the room, almost into Falco and Samus' path, if they didn't stop.

"Hey Meta Knight! We were just about to come see you but you're already out of there. Or did Jigglypuff kidnap you?" Falco asked. Meta Knight looked at Jigglypuff who smiled sweetly.

"Was she planning to do that?"

There ends chapter 5! What could happen in Chapter 6? What do you think? Not the first date because that is going to be a one-shot.
