Not halfway up the boardwalk, Samus encountered a familiar figure.
“Meta Knight? What the eff are you doing here?”
While most of the smash crew had jumped at the chance to take a vacation together, a few had declined. The mysterious loner Meta Knight had been one of them. So the little round warrior was one of the last people Samus had expected to see here.
“It was never my intention to imply that I would not be present, only that I would not be traveling with your party”, said Meta Knight. “I saw no reason to take public transportation when I had better means available.”
Samus assumed he was referring to his ship, the Halberd. A few of the others had spaceships; in fact, Samus herself had one that she could summon at any time, but the others had all taken the plane to enjoy the company of their fellow smashers. Although, after the 7-hour flight, Samus could understand why someone might have passed on the plane ride. And where the others’ ships were all fairly small, Meta Knight’s was a huge battleship. Why would anyone take a normal plane when they had that?
“So…where did you park your ship?” Samus asked. “I didn’t see it at the airport.”
“Such things are of no concern to me”, Meta Knight said dismissively. “I merely set it down on a nice patch of land on the island’s other side.”
“I…see.” Samus wondered what the local authorities might say about that. “Does anyone else know you’re here?”
“You are the first I have encountered. But now that I have arrived, I shall make my presence known soon enough!” Meta Knight ended his statement with a dramatic flourish.
There was an awkward pause.
“So…” Meta Knight added at last, “What…what exactly will we be doing? Will there be surfing? I have never surfed. Exactly what does it entail?”
Samus sighed. “You’ve never been on a vacation before, have you?”
“N-not as such, no.”
“Well, I’m going to go get a smoothie. You can come along if you want, but don’t think that means I’ll be paying for both of us.”
Meta Knight thought for a moment. “Hmmm…yes…yes, maybe I shall. I shall have this ‘smoothie’ you speak of. Let us make haste!”
“Well then, follow me.”
The unlikely pair headed down the street together.
