Wolf In Sheep's clothing

Chapter 1

It was a rainy night when Mario and SMG4 were heading back to the showground after a long day at some kind of video convention. The rain was heavily pouring down on our poor meme guardian and his avatar. They didn't expect this heavy rain, they hadn't even brought an umbrella with them. They tried to get back to the castle as fast as they could.

“Ugh I told you we should've packed some warm clothes or something!” Complained Four as he hugged himself to keep himself warm a bit but due to the heavy rain it was near impossible.
“Mario told you to take the RV instead of your stinky forklift as a vehicle! Then we wouldn't have gotten stuck in mud!”

“Look! My forklift is a beautiful thing that I had to show off at the convention!”

“Nobody gave a shit about your forklift certificate, SMG4.” Mario answered which made Four frowned by the fact how Mario was so right about that. Nobody wanted to take pictures with him and his beloved forklift. All the good work just to get forklift certified and he can't get any bitches with it. How sad it was.

As they kept walking, the corner of SMG4's eyes spotted something bright pink between the bushes. Four stopped as Mario proceeded to keep walking until Four grabbed him by his collar.
“What is it? What's going on?” Mario questioned, but SMG4 didn't answer. Instead he walked forward the pink thing he saw between the bushes.  He carefully moved the leaves aside to discover that the thing he saw wasn't something, more like someone.  There was a little girl, lying on the ground unconsciously, wearing a hot pink overall dress with light pink shirt and a hat. The hat had a symbol just like him, SMG3 and Mario had, But this symbol had a flower one. SMG4 was looking at  the unconscious little girl in shock.

“The heck! Who leaves a child out in the rain like that??!!” He freaked out as he scooped the dead cold girl up to his arms. He put his ears close to the little girl's nose to confirm that she was indeed still alive. He turned around to Mario. “C'mon Mario we have to bring her safely! Quick!” And just like bullets shot out of a gun, they started running forward to reach The castle as soon as possible. They were soaked by the time they reached their home. Four like a father didn't hesitate, he went straight to his own room, placed the little girl on the bed and covered her with as many blankets as possible to keep her warm. Mario awkwardly stood nearby, fiddling his fingers as he was not sure what he should do. Smg4 however was all over the place. He ran back and forth from room to room as he brought drinks and foods, even heaters just to keep the temperature warm. When he made sure everything was set up he let out a relieved sigh and turned around to face Mario. “Could you look after her for a bit, Imma head in and change real quick.” Four didn't wait for his answer, he grabbed some fresh clothes, a blue shirt and a star patterned shorts as pajamas for tonight and headed to the bathroom. Mario didn't know what he was supposed to do so he sat down on the ground and got some spaghetti out of his pocket to eat while he waited for Smg4 to come back.

—----------------------------------------

It passed 1 am by now, the little girl they found in the forest was still sound asleep, while Smg4 next to her worked on another video on his computer. Due to the heavy rain and lighting going around, Four didn't let Mario try going home under this weather (he knew he'd have gotten electrocuted by the lights), so he crashed down on the couch inside the gaming room. It didn’t take Mario long to fall asleep, he easily crashed down. Smg4 however got used to being up late at this point. He never had a normal sleeping schedule but ever since his crazy era, it was mostly difficult for him to go to bed early. So in order to kill some time he either played video games or worked on his video. He did set a timer for himself though when to take a break, otherwise he would forget it (and Smg3 made sure he set up a timer every time he edits his new creation). He couldn't help but feel worried toward the kid she was sleeping in his bed. He wondered how she got there in the first place. Did someone really abandon her out in the rain like that? Or did she run away and pass out midway? He had so many questions and he just hoped she's okay. He may not know the girl yet but Smg4 had always had a kind heart whenever it was about helping unfortunate souls. Of course he won't be an asshole and just leave the poor child outside in the rain.

Soon Smg4 noticed some sheets moving. He turned his gaze toward the movement and saw that the little girl in pink sat up as she rubbed the corner of her left eye.
“Oh. You're finally awake!” Four got up and he slowly walked near to the kid but stopped once he saw the girl backing up as it looked like she's afraid. He put his hands up in defense mode to show he doesn't wanna hurt her.
“Hey, it's okay! No need to be afraid, I'm friendly.” He said in a soft voice, trying his best to calm the child. He kneeled down on the floor, in front of the bed, at least 1 meter away from it.
“You must be confused why you're here. Me and my friend found you in the rain so we thought we would bring you here.. Are you okay, by the way? Does anything hurt, do you need anything?”
He asked but the girl didn't say anything.
“Do you know where you came from? How did you get here?”

Still no answer.

Smg4 nodded. “Can't blame you for not talking, I'm still a stranger to you after all.. I'm Smg4, by the way, in case you are wondering” He noticed the girl's expression from fear, it turned into a more soft look when he told his name. But still no sound came out of her. He looked sideways as he was thinking what he should do now. He then thought he brought some food here for the girl, but it must be cold by now so he grabbed the tray that had a bowl of chicken soup on it.
“Here let me warm this up for you.” He then stood up with the tray and headed to the exit of his room. But before he'd completely leave the room he heard a small mumble coming from the little girl.

“Hm? Sorry, can you repeat that?”

“Sophie..My name is Sophie.” The pink dressed girl finally answered in a soft quiet voice. Smg4 felt happy though that Sophie trusted him enough to tell her name. It was enough for Four for now. Small steps at the time. And when she feels more comfortable they might also figure out where she came from and maybe they could return her to her parents! But for now, this was enough. He returned a warm smile to the little girl. “Well it's nice to meet you, Sophie.”

After Smg4 returned with a warm soup, they had a little chat between them. While Sophie was eating her soup, Smg4 showed off his memes and videos, which she really liked and laughed at. Sophie Also started to be more open and talk, claiming she doesn't quite remember how she actually got here. The time passed and Four started to feel tiredness catching up to him. He eventually got up from the floor and headed to the door once again. “If you need anything, I'll be next door, in the half pink half black room, okay? If I won't respond there's also a red fat Italian in the gaming room, buuut I'd be careful waking him up though. He can be a bit quirky and angry at night.”
The girl giggled and nodded. When Smg4 finally left the room, Sophie's expression turned from happy to blank, emotionless. She looked around and spotted a picture of Four and his friends on the desk. Her arms extended with a weird black gooey texture, grabbing the photo and brought it closer to her.
“So..” She started as she looked at the framed picture. “You're the Smg4 I was hearing about..”

A slight grin appeared on her face.

“Oh this is gonna be so much fun.”
