Author's Note: I apologize for how long it's been since I've uploaded anything. I had a tough junior year in college (both personal and academic related stress) that lead to a case of minor/mild depression. Needless to say I found myself unable to write during that time. In the past year I've gotten through that stuff, and decided that because I'm graduating college I could go ahead and upload a few "chapters" at once (well, more like a couple of drabbles) . If anyone has any suggestions, please send me a PM or email. Read, Review and I hope you enjoy! ~AnimeStars
Chapter 3 – Pretty in Pink
They stared at him. How could they not though? He was Captain Douglas Jay Falcon the famed F-Zero pilot number 07. Even the whispers didn't bother him. The amount of attention he was receiving today merely reminded him of the past, when he spent most of his time on the track or as a bounty hunter.
Today he was on his way to find a computer so he could look up information on this blue hedgehog he had seen running around. Everyone said that this "creature" could run at sonic speeds and was the reason he was no longer held the title of "fastest person" which he had held onto for so long.
Concealing a yawn behind one gloved hand, Captain Falcon strutted down the halls feeling refreshed after listen to Jigglypuff sing in a concert earlier that morning. Even though he considered himself a good sport, Captain Falcon couldn't remember if he had clapped at the end of the concert. In fact, he couldn't even remember how long the concert was or even when it ended. He hoped he had been attentive though, as it seemed that he was the only person in the audience. He had even sat front row too, glad to show support to someone who was under appreciated.
Pausing in front of a mirror, Captain Falcon took a moment to admire his reflection and then punched the air. People still paused, whispering and laughing at him, but he didn't pay attention. He thought he looked good in a pink costume, fabulous even, with black marker all over his face. Now if only he could remember how it had all happened things would be great.
Chapter 4 – That Box…
No one knew where the box had come from. It was just a plain run-of-the-mill cardboard box, nothing remotely interesting about it. Except that the box moved all on its own. It appeared and disappeared at random times and in random places. It even had the red Smash Bros. logo on it. Nobody understood why it would appear and disappear, or why sometimes they could hear some voices from it.
So that's why when the box disappeared one day no one went searching for it. They were too busy searching for Solid Snake, who had told everyone the week before that he was going to be on reconnaissance duty, but hadn't contacted anyone since. Even Slippy, who had hacked into Snake's codec before couldn't contact him. It was a total mystery. Eventually Snake's belongings were packed up and put in storage, piling the boxes on top of another box that had been put against the wall and effectively burying it. Their task complete everyone returned to their own business and forgot about the box.

Snake: "Hello? … Anyone? … Mei Ling? … Colonel? … Otocon? … Is that pink marshmallow's concert over now? … Hey! … Hello! … These rations don't last forever you know and I lost my headband so I don't have unlimited ammo anymore either. Anyone? ... Hello?"
