Pit laid in his bed tired from the days mission and still sore from some blows from the Great Reaper. I just need some rest... Pit thought closing his eyes.

Pit's eyes snapped open After hearing a knock on his bedroom...window...? Pit stood up and opened the curtains and yelped in shock.

"A-Alex?! What are you doing here?!" Pit cried in shock.

"Eh. I thought I'd get to know you a bit before I killed you and shit." Alex said with a grin. Then she tapped on the glass. "Can I come in?"

"No way! Lady Palutena would never let me do that!" Pit said crossing his arms.

Alex snorted. "This is a dream stupid. I can't really harm you or enter your house and shit."

"What? Really? So we're, like in my brain?!" Pit asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah something of the sort." Alex said with a shrug. "Now let me in. It may be a dream but it's bright out here."

Pit hesitantly opened the window and Alex landed inside his room.

"How do I know this isn't some kind of trick..?" Pit asked touching Alex's arm. "You seem real enough..."

"Don't touch me." Alex muttered, shooing his hand away. "Whatever. Think what you want."

Pit stared for a moment at her then spoke. "You know... you kind of remind me of Pittoo. With the black wings and hair. You guys even act the same...kind of." He said. Alex stared.

"Where did 'Pittoo' even come from anyways..?" Alex asked.

Pit then told her about Pandora and the Labyrinth of Deceit and how she had the Mirror of Truth. When he tried to break it Dark Pit was created but he wasn't with the UnderWorld army. Then he stole Pandoras power and escaped.

"Lady Palutena gave him the name." Pit finished.

"So he isn't a real fallen Angel...." Alex said.

Pit tilted his head. "What do you mean?"

"Well, a real fallen Angel is an angel, like you, who has turned to the dark side." Alex explained.

"Wait...so you were an angel?!" Pit said in shock. Alex nodded. "Why did you leave?" Pit asked.

"I didn't like all the rule following. Too tedious for me. I liked causing trouble. So I left. I joined up with the UnderWorld, worked my way up the ranks and became Hades right hand man." Alex said. "I used to live right in this temple. In fact, I knew you when you were barely out of Angel Grade School."

"No way!" Pit said in awe.

"Yes way." Alex replied.

"Have you ever thought of coming back?" Pit asked.

Alex sighed. "Of course. This is where I grew up as an Angel. But after climbing up the ranks in the UnderWorld I knew those days were behind me. And look where I am now." She said with a grin.

"Wow. I wish Lady Palutena was here to hear this..." Pit said.

"Okay." Alex said and with a snap of her fingers Palutena wading the dream room with them.

"Lady Palutena!" Pit said with glee.

"Where am I? What is she doing here?!" Palutena asked staring at Alex.

"Is that really you, Lady Palutena?" Pit asked.

"Why wouldn't I be...?" She asked.

"Welll...I guess 'cause we're in a dream. Weird, huh." Pit said.

"A....dream? Strange everything seems so...real." Palutena said.

"Are you two done?" Alex said with her arms crossed.

"Why do you have us here?!" Palutena asked.

"Calm your tits. I was just having a simple conversation with Pitty-Pat here." Alex said with a grin.

"Excuse me?" Palutena said. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Oh no! I'm so sorry ma'am." Alex said. Pit took a step back.

Palutena glared at her. "Did you just call me ma'am? I am way too young to be called that!"

"Whatever. Why are you so uptight?" Alex asked leaning on the wall casually.

"What!? I'm not uptight." Palutena said crossing her arms.

"Well... prove it." Alex said.

"I don't have to prove anything to you." Palutena muttered.

"Why don't we talk about something else...?" Pit said with an awkward smile. Alex nodded.

"Alright then. Palutena. Don't you remember me?" Alex asked.

Palutena stared for a moment, inspecting her. Then she gasped. "Alexandria?!" She said in shock. "This is where you disappeared to?! The UnderWorld? I can't believe this!"

"Please. There are a lot better people in the UnderWorld than you may think. It isn't all monsters and death." Alex said looking away from Palutena. Pit seemed almost interested.

"I see that look in your eye, Pit. You want to go...don't you? Alex said.

"Wh-what?! No. No no no no." Pit said waving his hands.

"Pit are you lying?" Palutena asked, knowing he waved his hands when trying to cover something up.

Pit sighed. "Okay maybe I kind of want to go..."

Alex grinned. "I could totally take you. You could even meet my best friend, Ace."

Pit smiled. "Awesome."

Then Palutena spoke. "Ahem! No way. Think about it Pit this could be a-" but she was cut off by Alex snapping her fingers as Palutena vanished.

"Do you still want to go...?" Alex asked Pit hopefully.

Pit thought for a moment Then nodded.

"Awesome!" Alex said, her eyes sparkling. "I'll pick you up tomorrow." Alex said moving towards the window. "Later!" She said and flew out the window.

"Bye!" Pit said with a wave. Then everything went white as he woke up in bed. The window was closed and there was no sign of entry. So it was a dream... but...is she really picking me up tomorrow?

Then Pit noticed a note on the small table by his bed. It read,

Pit,
Don't forget about what I said. And you can't change your mind now. The UnderWorld isn't that bad of a place and I can prove it. See you tomorrow!
~Alex

So it was real... Pit thought, stuffing the note in his pocket. I can't let Lady Palutena know where I'm going... Pit tried to think of a way he could leave without Palutena knowing.

Also, how was he supposed to fly? Pit sighed, perhaps this was a terrible idea.
