Writer's Note: Okay, I couldn't stop myself. Loki/Thor is the secondary couple now. Seriously after the way this chapter ends it only makes sense. No worries for you non Loki/Thor fans, this story will still focus on Tony/Steve and their buckets of unresolved sexual tension.

Warnings: Thor is still in that dress. Thankfully this is the last chapter you see him in one..or IS IT? This chapter also contains buck ton of Loki/Thor, so if you don't like that ship you are not going to like this chapter. There is also kissing.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the avengers. The only people I own are the narrator and Chekhov. And one is a talking tree. Yay?

Chapter Five-In which True love's kiss saves the day

Back at the forest, Steve sat listening to Chekhov, as it told him it's life story.

"Then when I was twenty Bobby was cut down for a Christmas tree, which was a completely wrong move, as Bobby is quite a talker and most likely would ruin their Christmas by singing bad covers of Disney songs."

Steve frowned at the tree concerned, "Weren't you upset that they cut your friend down?"

"Well yeah, but I'm a tree! I see my friends get cut down all the time..I suppose I'm just desensitized."

Before Steve could answer, a white tube fell from the sky and hit him on the head.

"What in the world?" Chekhov said in wonder, staring down at the tube, "Where did that come from?"

"From me obviously." The narrator finally spoke up, Steve stood up so fast at his voice that the tube fell to the ground.

"You! Where are my friends! I demand you tell me!"

"Don't get so pissy, you can see your friends now. The Prince is needed."

Steve just glared up at the sky, which made the narrator a little nervous. For it was Captain America doing the glaring but he did nothing, He just bend down and picked up the tube, popping it open.

"So what is in the tube or great and powerful ruler?" Chekhov snarled, as Steve pulled out what looked like a piece of paper.

"Why is everyone so mean to me today? Specially you Chekhov! I though we were friends!"

"Not anymore. I was won over to the other side by the power of friendship."

"CURSE YOU THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!"

"Sorry to brake into your converstation..." Steve said, staring down at the paper, "But why couldn't you just tell me that Tony was going to appear and bring me to Thor?"

"Don't know..that would have made more sense actually."

Steve signed, "So when is Tony going to show up?"

"Right about now actually."

With a popping sound Tony appeared above Steve's head.

"This is not going to end well." Chekhov whispered under his breath.

Sure enough Tony fell right on top of Steve and the two fell to the ground. The two blushed and stared in each others eyes.

"Did you two need a room?" The narrator asked, braking the sexual tension fulled moment.

Tony quickly jumped up, "No, So I just bring Steve to the castle right? Lets do this." He quickly started to walk away. Hoping that no one saw the blush on his face.

"Wait up Tony!" Steve cried out, as he stood up and made his way after Tony.

Chekhov watched them go, "You know I been wondering why didn't you make one of them the princess? Its oblivious that their in love with each other."

"I know but it is just so much fun to crush people's hearts."

"You're an asshole." Chekhov growled, before pulling out his roots one by one.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm going to go help my new friends!" With that Chekhov went after Steve and Tony. The narrator watched this new development with glee.

"Oh! What a beautiful twist in my story! I wonder how this will affect the outcome of my stories?"

One scene change later...

"Oh Thor, I could stare at you forever.." Loki cooed, looking down at Thor's beautiful face. His looking was interrupted by the entering of Tony(along with Steve and what appeared to be a walking tree).

"Well welcome back, how was your trip."

"Shut up Loki and could you stop drooling over Thor for a second, we need Steve to kiss and get this story over with." Tony snapped.

Loki raised a eyebrow, Tony seemed really upset about something, 'Most likely upset because his lover has to kiss someone else."

"Loki! What are you doing here?" Steve cried out in shock, grasping his sword.

Tony quickly put out a hand stopping him, "He is on our side for now."

Steve nodded, before walking over to Thor's form. "So I just kiss him and he'll wake up right?"

"That is how the spell works..well if you're his true love anyway.." The narrator said, as he watched the scene unfold.

Steve nodded again, before kneeing before Thor's body, "Well here goes.." He shot a look Tony's way but he did nothing.

So very slowly Steve's lips lowered towards Thor's. Tony watched in horror, 'No I can't do this but I have to let him if we want Thor to wake up!' While Tony fought inside himself on what to do, Loki had no problem coming to a decision.

"Sorry Captain, but if anyone is going to kiss Thor. Its GOING TO BE ME." With that he pushed Steve away and kissed Thor.

"You actually think your kiss will work? Only his true love can wake him up!" The narrator laughed, only to grasp in shock as Thor's eyes opened. "Well I be damned. I did not see that coming. How marvellous! Another twist! Beautiful!"

Loki ignored him and smiled down at Thor. "Good morning brother."

Thor blinked and smiled back. "Hello. What did I miss?"

Tony laughed and dropped to his knees, "Good to see you awake bub!" He was full of relieve, Steve had not been Thor's true love.

Steve smiled at Loki, "I never would have guessed..your Thor's true lo.."

He didn't get to finish his sentence, as the floor they were all kneed on disappeared.

"WHAT THE HELL!" Tony shouted, as the group fell though a empty sky.

"Onward my friends to the next story! I wonder what more twists you will bring to my stories!"

Thor acted quickly, gasping Loki with one hand and Steve with another. Steve shot out a hand.

"Tony! Take my hand!"

Tony reached out and grasped Steve's.

So the group fell(along with Chekhov), not at all prepared for the world that lay ahead.
