Description
   I heard Ike sigh in relief as I opened my eyes. "You were only out for a day this time." He smiled. Lucario was next to me.
   He turned around and spoke, "It seems Metra is trying to take over your entire body…"
   "How is she able to do that?" Ike asked for me.
   "According to my vision, she said the weaker you are, the easier it will be to destroy you."
   "How is she weak?"
   Lucario paused for a moment, "It is not true Samus…do not listen to what she is telling you."
   Ike held my hands and looked at my eyes, "What did she say to you?"
   "That… that you're making me weak…"
   He frowned and closed his eyes. "Thank you for helping Lucario…" He answered with a nod. Ike picked me up and went to my house.
   "Ike…you're not making me weak…" I said when we arrived.
   "I know…it's just…I'm worried about you,"
   "Don't be…just…whatever you do…don't break your promise…" I said. He managed a smile. I hugged as a message everything would be okay, and he shouldn't worry…but I wasn't sure. Later on Ike left to Altea. I smiled and waved when he did, but it was sad. Ike never left my side since I fainted at the party… I sighed and decided to go to the Mushroom Kingdom; I wanted to tell Peach and Zelda what was going on between me and Ike. I had a feeling they were going to ask a LOT of questions.
   "What did you say to him at the hospital?" Zelda asked.
   "I thanked him for not leaving me." I answered.
   "What was your reaction?" Peach asked.
   "Touched,"
    "Where did you guys go?"
   "The valley,"
   "Did you have your first kiss yet?"
   I paused and was a little mad, "No…"
   "Where's he now?"
   "Altea,"
   "Why did-"
   "Didn't I answer enough questions?" They sighed and nodded.
   "Stupid Bowser… ruins your first kiss…" Zelda mumbled.
   "Technically, I did have my first kiss with him…"
   "That doesn't count, you weren't kissing back,"
   I sighed. "You alright Samus?" Peach asked.
   "Peachy…"
   "No you're not," she giggled, "please Samus, tell us what's wrong…"
   "Alright," I sighed. I told them about the dreams I've been having. I told them how Metra was always killing me, how Ike kept dying for me, how Metra always threatened to kill Ike… When I finished both of their mouths were open.
   "Did you see Lucario about that?" I nodded at Zelda. I sighed… Peach asked if I could sleep over there for the night, I shrugged and said sure.
   "Samus…?" Peach started, "Why are you so boring?" she giggled.
   "I'm not boring! Am I Zelda?" I argued and turned to Zelda.
   "Well…"
   I rolled my eyes. "Come on Samus, you know it too!"
   "Well there's nothing to do…"
   "Your idea of fun is killing aliens,"
   "What's NOT fun about that?"
   "Killing…" they both said. I rolled my eyes again. I forgot Zelda and Peach hated to fight. "What do you think is fun, huh?"
   They smiled, "Makeovers!"
   "No,"
   "Games!" I shook my head.
   "Secrets…?" at that point, I was looking for my gun.
   "Told you you're boring…"
   "Peach, for the last time I'm not-"
   "Weak…Weak….Weak…." I held my head again.
   "Samus, are you alright?" I shook my head.
   "What's the matter then?" I didn't answer and started to yell in pain. Peach patted my shoulder, but as soon as her finger touched me, she quickly retreated.
    "What is it Peach?" Zelda asked.
   Peach was blowing on her finger before answering. Tears started to fill her eyes, "S-Samus y-you don't hate us, d-do you?"
   "Of course I don't hate you! Why would you think that?" I put my hand on her shoulder and she screamed. I noticed every time I touched her it was some kind of painful shock.
   "I sense h-hatred in you…" she said starting to sob, "s-so much hatred…"
   "It's… Metra! She hates you Samus! She's trying to get revenge on you by hurting Peach!" Zelda suggested. She was right, I know it.
   I laughed a little, although it wasn't my laugh. "Smart girl," I said.
   "S-Samus?"
   "Shut up fool, you're nothing but a sensitive piece of white trash!"
   Peach burst into tears, "Peach, it not me it's-"
   "Me, I'm almost done with you, your time is almost up Samus…prepare for a nightmare you definitely won't be forgetting." I turned to Peach and Zelda, and started to walk towards them. I tried to stop myself, but couldn't. My fist raised and I was about to punch Zelda…but I somehow was pulling it back.
   "You're not hurting them Metra!"
   "Watch me…or you…" I laughed evilly. I was struggling to save them. I had only one choice, I punched myself, leaving me unconscious.
