Chapter 8

"Moving on!" Peach quickly cried to change the subject. "So, Roy, Robin cooks you dinner. Would you eat it?"

The red-haired swordsman shrugged. "Dunno; haven't had her cooking. Can't be any worse than Lalum's."

"Who?" Toon asked. "Sorry; haven't played Binding Blade."

"A friend of mine," Roy sighed. "She's a horrible cook, but an excellent dancer."

"So you'd eat my cooking?" Robin reiterated in delight. "Wow, you're braver than most men in our army. Only Stahl will touch my food, or Gaius, if it's sweet."

"I'd bet Ike would eat it too, so long as it contained enough meat," Roy remarked.

"Yeah, probably," Ike continued. "Well, maybe not taking into account it being yours and probably spiked with love potion or something."

"Nah, I've jumped ship. MarthxIke for the win. But really, I'm impressed! Priam won't even eat my bear meat, so I suppose culinary bravery isn't hereditary," mused the tactician. "I'll need to test it out on your Einherjar sometime."

Ike looked at her oddly. "You have an Einherjar of me? How?"

"Long story," Robin quickly dismissed. "Actually, I have Einherjar of a lot of heroes from our world; Marth, Roy, Eirika, Lyn, even Micaiah! But the main point is that I was able to defeat your entire army with one pink dragon."

"I'm not sure whether that's awesome or sad," Peach giggled. "But I'm pretty sure it's awesome. So, next! Red, I'm laying next to you on a beach, sleeping. Wait- what does that even mean?"

"No idea," Red replied in a deadpan. "But I'm pretty sure I'd be trying to prevent the sword-y guys from murdering you." He shot a glance at Marth, Ike, and Roy.

Peach grinned. "Aw, thanks Red!" gushed the princess. "So, next! Pit, what if Ike suddenly confessed to be part of your family?"

The young angel imminently trapped the mercenary in a tight hug. "Awesome! I've always wanted a big brother!" he exclaimed happily.

Ike gave Pit an uneasy glance. "Er, aren't you older than me? By, like, a lot?"

"Don't Bee Orcs or whatever you are have a longer lifespan than humans?" Pit asked.

"Beorc," Ike corrected. "And no, we don't. Actually, I'm not even sure what the difference between us and humans are."

Pit frowned. "Aw, but can't you still be my big brother?" he whined.

After staring into Pit's wavering eyes for a moment, Ike sighed in defeat. "Fine," he conceded. "So long as Mist isn't jealous."

"Yes!" Pit cheered. "This is awesome! We can go do fun things, like go beat up the Underworld army and play Mario Kart and eat floor ice cream and-"

"Okay, would someone please tell me what floor ice cream is!" Marth cried.

"Pit has a habit of eating... questionable things off the ground," Palutena explained with an awkward laugh.

"Hey, floor ice cream gives you health," Pit defended casually.

"So, if Ike's now my servant's brother, does that make Marth my new servant-in-law?" asked Palutena with a smirk.

"'In-law'? We're not even technically dating!" Marth protested.

"Hey, wouldn't that make Dark Pit my brother as well?" Ike asked.

"I guess," Pit shrugged. "But he doesn't even like me calling him my brother, so I doubt he'd let you."

"But if so, I suppose your pseudo-family has a type, doesn't it?" Palutena remarked with a laugh.

No one was sure what she meant, but Palutena sighed. "Gosh, has no one else noticed Pittoo is in love with Lucina?"

"What?" Marth shook his head. "I- I did not approve of this."

"Nor did I!" Robin cried in outrage. "Well, I guess it's not my place, but I'm pretty sure since Chrom's my best friend, that makes me, like, her godmother-in-law or something."

"So," Peach began to read again. "Red gets in the hospital. How?"

"Probably trying to catch Mewtwo," Lucas stated. "Again."

And no sooner had Lucas said that than Mewtwo teleported into the room. "My psychic powers told me the Red one had spoken of enslaving me," it coldly huffed mentally. "And he shall pay."

Red jumped, holding his Ivysaur's Pokè Ball close, ready to throw it out.

"No, wait!" Lucas protested, running in front of his friend and throwing his arms out protectively. "I was just making a joke, that's all! Please don't hurt him!"

Mewtwo stared at the young PK-user for a moment. "So you wish to enslave me?" it hissed mentally. "Very well then, you will pay."

"Lucas, please don't-"

"Red, I owe it to you, considering you helped me defeat Wario and avenge Ness in the Subspace Emissary," Lucas countered. "Besides, I can protect myself now. Let me show you the power of-" He paused, for dramatic effect. "PK LOVE!"

A flurry of Technicolor hexagons shot from Lucas's hands, hitting Mewtwo square in the chest and knocking it back. "Well met, mortal fiend," scowled the Legendary. "I shall retreat." It teleported away, before teleporting back for a moment, adding "For now!" before flickering away again.

A moment of awestruck silence fell over the room, until Palutena breached it with a chuckle. "Well, someone's been hanging around Viridi a lot."

"Wow, Lucas!" Toon Link exclaimed. "That was awesome."

"Yeah," Red remarked, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder. "You've grown a lot since then. You were strong then, but now you're pretty darn bada-"

"NO CURSING!" Peach screamed, slamming Red with a pillow and knocking him back onto the couch, unconscious.

A shiver of fear ran through the room.

AN- Finally got my OTP, LucinaxPittoo in there. Also, Lucas does a thing that doesn't involve his phone! Yay!

So, thanks for reading! -Twilight Joltik
