Living with Animals
'Phew!' She sighed, 'I'm really glad that the meeting there is done, even though it wasn't really a 'meeting' per-se, but she's still glad it's over' She thought to herself 'I am still rather disappointed that I didn't even receive as much applause as the little kid in the red shirt there, but at least they didn't boo me or laugh or anything. I doubt they even know what title I'm from…'
Leaving the auditorium behind everyone else there, slowed by her doubtful thoughts, was the Wii Fit Trainer. As she exits the small auditorium through the large, red doors they slammed closed behind her by themselves, causing her to jump and look back at them as they… disappeared?
Someone was behind her, laughing "Yeah, the doors in this room here only appear when you need to head to a certain location, like a battle match or the meeting auditorium. They're sort of in their own little universe"
The Fitness Trainer turned around to see a tall woman, taller than her, standing before her in a skin-tight, blue jump suit.
"Hello there, my name is Samus" she said, reaching out her hand towards the Trainer.
"H-hello, Samus, I am the Wii-Fit Trainer, you may know me from one of the Wii-Fitness Titles?" she asked, Samus sort-of cringed as she tried to recall if she'd ever heard of that before or, more likely, un-aware of what that even was "B-but you can just c-call me Taylor" she replied, awkwardly grasping Samus' hand into a hand-shake.
Samus smiled weakly "It's…nice to meet you, Taylor, but I must get going. I have to check and see what that crazy person did to my room, bye!" Samus said, giving a slight nod before quickly turning around and rushing down the hall.
'Well, that could have gone way better' Taylor thought her herself 'Maybe next time I should try and avoid mentioning the Wii-Fit console titles… I doubt anyone's ever heard of it or me…' she sulked internally as she continued down the rather-short hall, turning right down the corridor.
She dug into her right pocket and pulled out a small note that had a crude map of the complex drawn on it in what looked like crayon "What was it again? Oh, okay, I'm right… here!" She said aloud as she mentally placing a finger on a small four-way hall intersection. She looked too her right, where she could see several brown, wooden boxes, some empty with the bottoms removed and some of them filled with some military-esc looking devices such as… grenades and C4?
'Nope'
She turned around and darted down the hall that was behind her, passing a room that had a symbol of a large, red sword across the door and wall and another room looked like it was a half-blue, half default-grey coloured room that still looked like it was a work in progress. It had a blue gear symbol on the door and in place of where a door knob should be was a little round in-dent that looked like it was supposed to be turned on by some sort of spherical battery.
"It can't be far now" She said aloud, peering back at the map in her hand "Right, it's the next room up ahead!"
She came upon a room that had a very large, red, burning phoenix crest plastered over almost the entire wall and door. 'Someone sure likes to show-off' she thought to herself as she knocked on the door.
"Its open…" replied the original room owner from behind the closed door, he didn't sound like a very pleasant person…
She nodded to herself and gently turned the doorknob, pushing the door open into a rather medium-sized room that was painted a deep dark-blue. Being so dimly lit, she was barely able to make out the creature sitting on the bed… it looked like some sort of bird? She could see it looking up from the book it was reading for a brief moment from under the very dim lamp-light that was on the small end-table next to the bed to stare her down for a moment, it sighed before looking back at the book and resuming reading.
"E-excuse me, I think this is the room I was assigned to stay in" Taylor asked, hesitantly walking into the room, gently closing the door behind her.
It looked up from the book again. "You stuff is over there" it said, pointing with its hand? Wing? Over towards the left of the room, where a light blue sleeping bag, two backpacks, white Wii-Fit training pad and rolled up yoga mat resided. She walked over to it and kneeled down on the sleeping bag, rifling through one of the backpacks, and taking out a fitness manual to look-over.
After about twenty minutes of silence and reading, the avian tossed his book onto the floor, startling Taylor and causing her to drop her manual. The bird walked over towards her.
It scowled. "Since we'll be living in the same room together for a while, there's going to be a couple of rules. One, no touching my stuff, two, keep your stuff away from my stuff, three, whatever I say goes, got it?"
Taylor just sat there, not quite sure how to react to such rude and random behavior from this person she didn't even know, maybe this wasn't really a good idea after all…
The avian could see the concern on her face, he kneeled down and crossed his arms "I didn't mean to scare you, but I just need to make sure" he said.
"A-alright, I won't even think about t-touching anything of yours"
"Thank you. My name is Falco, by the way"
Taylor was half-expecting him to extend out his arm into a hand shake, but he doesn't really have a hand, as she just noticed. She just nodded "I am the Wii-Fit Trainer, but my actual name is Taylor, it's nice to meet you, Falco" she said, trying her best to smile.
Falco just got up and went back over to the floor where he tossed his book, picking it up and putting it away while picking another book to read.
Just as Taylor was about to pick up the manual she had dropped, a strange knock at the door was heard, Falco put his book down and rushed to the door to open it.
"There you are, Fox!" Falco said cheerfully "You're late" he said, as equally un-cheerfully as he had just said cheerfully.
"Well, I had to check and see if they re-arranged my room… like they did to yours" Said the Fox, looking over at the Woman on the floor, Taylor. "Anyway, let's go"
The door slammed behind them as they left, Leaving Taylor alone in the room. "They could have at least said bye, or hello" she growled, standing up from the sleeping bag and grabbing her yoga mat, unrolling it and placing it on the floor. 'at least now I can exorcise in peace… even though Falco wasn't that noisy in the first place…'
After about five to six minutes of doing various yoga poses, Taylor decided that she should do something else, but what? She rolled up her yoga mat and placed it next to the bookshelf that was near her sleeping bag. 'Maybe I should read a book to keep my mind healthy as well!' she thought as she stooped down to go through her bags.
"I didn't get my books!" she whined to herself. Sighing, she thought 'Maybe I could read one of Falco's books…' before remembering what he said before, but, it's just a book, right? 'I'm sure he won't mind'
She got up and began to look over the books in the book shelf, scanning over the titles of some of the books there. She saw several books about various anthropomorphic avians, creatures and such in place of the 'normal' types of books you would see, although most of them weren't as 'educational' as they were just for an entertaining book to read. Really, the only few books she seen that would be remotely education would be the ones about Piloting, Shooting Skills, and a Building manual for Book Shelf.
She pulled out a couple of the books that looked interesting and skimmed over the title and the back-cover.
'Huh? There's a couple books behind this one' she thought, reaching back for it.
She was interrupted, again, by a loud knocking at the door. She placed the book back quickly and walked over to open it.
"Falco! You got 'a hel- wait, you're not Falco" said the man who looked a lot like a Wolf. "You must be that new person huh?" he said.
"Y-yeah, Falco went out with, uh, Fox" she said, as soon as she said 'Fox' the Wolf's face went from confusion to a sinister smirk.
"Hah, he 'went out' with him, huh?" said the Wolf, snickering a bit
"Yeah, they went somewhere, I don't know where"
"Whatever, I'll go to Fox's room and see"
*Slam*
Again, the door was slammed in her face for the third time today. 'All the people here aren't very nice; I'm really starting to doubt that this was a good idea… I guess I'll just have to deal with it, I made a commitment'
She walked back over too her sleeping bag and lay down, covering herself with it, cupping her hands behind her head to relax, within a couple minutes she fell asleep.
