Warnings: Creepy nightmares? Innuendo? I don't know, the usual.



There had been so much buzz about those stupid lollipops for weeks now. Not only out loud, but in her head - thoughts ranging from what's the deal with those things? to gotta have more to pricy as fuck. Eventually, she confused the cravings of others for her own, and it just so happened that her very own roommate had a box right on her side of the room!

Casey wasn't supposed to touch it, but she didn't see why. Money issues, or something. She didn't get the big deal about money either. She wasn't a Meowth, so there was no reason for her to have any. Therefore, the rules about it didn't apply to her.

That was her logic, anyway.

When Ai was asleep, she opened up the box and put her telekinesis to good use. Five of the candies lifted into the air - two green, three yellow - and the wrappers tore off in perfect synchronization. Too bad nobody was watching. The Abra opened her mouth wide and crammed all of them in at once, because she had no concept of savouring anything.

Shortly after, she fell asleep, the sticks still poking out of her mouth. That had to be bad for her teeth.

Soon the dreaming began...

"Gghn!" Falling out of her dream into a never ending sky was disorientating on it's own right but then the series of spins and somersaults had her reeling. Samus twisted in the air like a cat trying to land on its feet as her long blonde hair unforgivingly whipped her in the face making any effort a difficult one. What the hell just--

"Pit?!" Finally, she was able to steady her body into what one could call a standard falling position, stomach ground-ward and back sky-ward. Falling to certain death was unsettling, but the ground seemed so far away that, yes, a conversation could be carried. A brief one. Asking what just happened seemed a little redundant, if fruitless. Pit probably had just about as much of an answer to that one as she did.

"Where are we?"

Pit laughed. "I thought that was obvious. We're in the sky!" he replied cheerily.

[icequeen_aran]

She frowned and tried again, slightly more deadpan than before.

"Why are we falling through the sky?"

[raw_angel_power]

He laughed again. Only harder this time.

"We're not falling, we're flying! Well, I guess YOU were falling, but don't worry, I've got your back. Literally."

[icequeen_aran]

Samus looked down at incoming splat-ville far below, feeling apprehensive despite her trust in the angel's abilities.

She didn't like this feeling of vulnerability at all, and reached out to Pit, seeking his hand against the torrent of wind.

[raw_angel_power]

Pit realized then that she might be nervous. Samus wasn't the type he ever pictured feeling scared or defenseless, or at least let anyone know that's what was going on inside her. That's why a bit of surprise came over him as she reached for his hand like that. He didn't think any less of her, of course; even the toughest intergalactic bounty hunters were allowed to be afraid of falling! Falling is a pretty scary ordeal. He knew firsthand (sadly). Even though he'd have to strain his other arm more to keep her aloft, he took it and squeezed, giving her a reassuring smile.

"It's okay! I've got you. And even if I don't, you can be sure I'll be here to catch you again."

[icequeen_aran]

For a moment, as he held her hand and clouds zoomed past them, it almost felt like falling didn't even matter anymore. She had a guardian angel in her moment of need, after all, and even dared to let herself smile in return.

It was hard to scare someone like Samus. Falling after watching her Power Suit dissolve off her body and not come back no matter how hard she tried to re-summon it was downright unnerving. Out of the suit she could take a nasty fall, yeah, but from this high up would undoubtedly kill her. She knew the limits of her own body and the swiftly approaching rocky, barren terrain below definitely exceeded them.

...But that wasn't what scared her. It was the dim realization her hand was growing hot. Was she holding too tightly? Was he just that warm? It was burning, scalding hot, to the point to seeing wisps of smoke escape from where their intertwined fingers met. She couldn't be sure but she thought she saw the tips of his feathers also smolder much the same.

"..."

Samus had a high tolerance for this too, but her fleeting smile was definitely far gone as she looked to Pit, expression twisted with helplessness and pain.

[pitticus]

Now that was just confusing. Pit didn't feel any kind of pain whatsoever except the kind that came from the strangled way Samus looked at him. He had no idea that some invisible source of heat was singeing his wingtips, nor that the smoke curling around his fingers should burn. He pulled a perplexed expression and examined his hand, then looked to Samus again. "What's going on? Is something wrong?"

[icequeen_aran]

She let go, aware her sensory perceptions were out of whack here, but didn't quite know how to explain what just happened.

Samus opted simply to show him her palm; red, scorched, and on the verge of forming some nasty looking blisters
