LIGHTS OUT

~ The Cold Truth ~

(A/N: Yeah...I'm sorry :/ )

 You shudder in the darkness. Something was wrong. Horribly wrong. You just knew it...

 In fact you could feel it...

"I didn't do anything," Annabelle responds, her voice echoing off the walls.

 Your heart sinks further and you call out into the black void, 

"Captain Falcon, where are you!?" 

 But you know it's already too late, the answer lay in front of your eyes.

 Someone had just turned the lights back on...

...and you wanted that someone to turn them back off.

 The room is in silence, frozen in place except for you as you kneel down and take your pretty princess's hand into yours. The fading warmth of his silken skin brings you to tears as your sobs break the quiet. 

 You gaze at your dead best friend remembering the times you spent together.

*Insert bitter-sweet memories here*

"Y/N! CALL AN AMBULANCE!" your pretty princess yells.

 Very much shocked, you run downstairs into the kitchen to grab your phone. You enter the room and Captain Falcon is waiting for you, laying on top of the kitchen counter on his side with his head propped by his arm,

"but not for me..." he seductively winks at you as you burst out laughing.

"No really, I accidently run over our neighbour with a bus"

 You stare at him, 

"WHAT-"

~

"Captain Falcon, I think someone's trying to break in!" you whisper in distress. He gives you a reassuring smirk before confidently asserting,

"I've got this, don't worry" 

 Your pretty princess strides out the room, banana in hand; however, pauses as you interject him,

"Wait! Shouldn't we call the police?"

"Don't stress Y/N! Trust me I've done this before..." You give him a quizzical look but he reassures you with a courteous nod, leaving the room.

 From that night on, you vowed to never let a banana in a one metre radius of you.

~

"Come on, PLEASE!" You beg your pretty princess.

"NO!" He pouts in response. 

 You cross your arms in agitation, tapping your foot lightly. It had been almost an hour of bribery and a further half hour of coaxing to try and get your pretty princess out of a tree.

"I'm going to call the firefighters~" you tease him, giving him a venomous stare. 

"One,"

"NO!"

"two..."

"N O !"

"three"

 Your pretty princess' face turns sour as he grasps the tree all the more tighter in protest. A protest that is promptly interrupted as the firefighters extend a ladder to extract him.

"UNHAND ME YOU FIENDS!" Captain Falcon hisses. 

 You wink at him.

 He winks back... 

...and pulls out an Uno reverse card.

*End bitter-sweet memories*

"He was a great friend, ya' know?" Glamrock Freddy says, barely audible. You turn to face him and give a small smile.

"Yeah, yeah he was,"

"How on Earth did he just die!?" Jay exclaims, splaying his arms by his sides.

"There are no steps in the wrong direction. Only steps in a new direction,"

 You turn to face Master Wu, feeling deeply enlightened by his words yet very much disturbed and more so concerned.

"I mean, the lights go out and suddenly Captain Falcon DIES!? That's gotta be suspicious, right?"

 The room erupts in chatter, the group coming to the realisation that the big stab wound to your pretty princess' chest, probably wasn't there before the lights went out.

"Let's think rationally about this-" Glamrock Freddy starts,

"Yes, let's think rationally..." Todoroki mutters to himself.

 Everyone averts their attention to Todoroki's intense pondering, waiting for him to speak again.

 The focus in his multi-coloured eyes catch your attention. The deep thought, consideration and sincerity drawing you in. You can only wonder what he could possibly be thinking about, and more importantly of course, why he has a 'VOTE TODOROKI FOR PRESIDENT' pin on his blazer.

"Leonardo definitely killed Captain Falcon,"
