"It does if one of them fell asleep during the trip back."

"Oh, hey Zelda- oh wow your strong," Red gaped at Zelda carrying Ike on her shoulder and Link panicking on whether to help Zelda or worry about how Ike was carried.

"The nickname "gentle princess" is just a title at school." Zelda tossed Ike onto the couch (barely missing Red) and Ike rolled off onto the floor.

"Was Ike up last night doing his homework at the last minute?" Marth asked Link. He pointed to the game console.

"That idiot!" Marth wacked Ike on the head. "Fried chicken..." was all Ike murmured in his sleep.

"Where were you during school?" Red asked.

"I was at a student council president meeting since Samus didn't want to go. She said she didn't want to go because, well, something about Pit," Zelda said, "so, did anything happen at school that I missed?"

"Nothing much, boring lectures for most of the classes, Samus telling us to stay away from Pit, Popo fell down a flight of stairs and his entire leg was bleeding... oops," Red said.

Zelda and Link looked at him oddly and Marth face palmed.

~A moment of explaining~

"Must have been a really long day and lunch..." Zelda said.

"Yeah, it felt like 3 (chapters) days..." Red said.

"Have you told Samus or the principal yet?"

"..." Red and Marth had dumbfounded faces.

We forgot! (OTL)

Zelda took a breath, "you guys are really hopeless aren't you? Anyways, how many people have you told all of this to?"

"Red and I only spoke of this to us 4-" "5!" they turned around to see Ike playing on the game console. "5, Popo, Nana, and the nurse."

"How about I check Samus' and Pit's profiles to see if there's anything important to help us, okay?"


The group was going to the school building to see Nana alone at a bench. "Nana? Where's Popo?" Red asked.

"Popo's at the hospital getting his leg checked," Nana answered, she forced a smile on.

"Red!" "Marth!"

Red and Marth looked to where the voices were coming from only to have Pit drag Red away from the group and Marth getting slapped by Samus then getting dragged away.

(Red and Pit (note: this can be heard from afar because they're yelling everything they say)) "So, how are you going to repay me?" "I said I was sorry-" "YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY THAT!" "Well!" (and so on).

(Marth and Samus (note: same with these 2)) "Ow! What was that for-?!" "Haven't I told you before?!" "Well you need to be more specific because this has happened PLENTY of times!" (and so on).

...

"Who wants some smoothies?" Nana asked.

"While we're at it can we get fried chicken too?"

They walked away nonchalantly.


Fencing club.

- Marth & Link

Don't know where I'm going but I'm coming back late

- Ike

Red took a breath when he read they're texts and closed his phone while walking through the hallway.

When he passed by the music room he heard someone playing. Red turned back and opened the door to see Pit playing the violin.

"Pretty..." Pit stopped playing to look at Red.

He just giggled a bit, "you know that you can come in right?"

Red walked in, "I didn't know you played the violin, how long have you played it for?"

"I played it back at my previous city." "Then which city?"

Before Pit could answer the window behind him broke and the violin was knocked out of his hand.

They looked at the shattered window then to the violin which had a dagger plunged into it.

"W-what?!" Pit ran to the door. "Wait where-?!" "Outside!" "Let me come with-!"

"NO!" Pit turned his head around. The part of his hair that covered his left eye moved a bit revealing part of his eye.

"Your eye... red..." Red murmured. Pit jolted and covered his red colored eye with his hand. "A-anyway, don't come out! No matter what!"

Pit ran away.


"Let's see what we have here..." Zelda was looking through folders of documents in the nurse's office.

"Bingo!" she pulled out 2 folders and closed the drawer. 1 of the folders was labeled "Samus Aran" and the other "Pit Aran".

"What are you doing here?" the nurse asked. Zelda jolted and turned around to face her while putting the folders in her backpack behind her back.

"I came to ask you Ms. Tina! I heard this rumor, it had something to do with stairs and blood, do you know anything about it.

Ms. Tina just stared at her.

D-did she figure out my lie?!

"Hm... no, it's probably just a gossip-like thing going throughout the school." she answered.

"I see! Well, bye!" Zelda ran off.
