Slash was in his room at night in the Cortex Castle.  Somehow he could not fall asleep and kept on turning over.  He finally gave up and got up to go to the game systems.  Slash said to himself, "Hmm…wonder what game would be great to play with."
      
      Slash looked though the game shelf and found a game he thought would be challenging and possibly made him tired.  He said to himself, "Mario Super Sluggers seems perfect."  
       
      He inserted the disk into the Wii system and got engrossed.  Slash chose the "Challenge Mode" in the game.  While he was playing his second game he felt someone jump on him and asked, "What are you doing up?"

      Slash recognized that it was Nina and replied, "I could not sleep, how about you?"  

      "Same for me also, I thought I would cuddle up next to you tonight," Said Nina.

       Slash paused the game and focused all of his attention on her.  He gave her a hug and said with a calming tone, "Well, we still can Nina-Chan."

        Nina smiled and gave him a kiss and Slash returned the kiss.  He turned off the game and he held Nina's hand and led her to his bed.  When they got settled they cuddled each other.  "You are so cuddly Markus, did you know that?"

        Slash blushed and replied, "No, I did not.  You are so cuddly too Nina-Chan."

         Nina blushed also.  From playing Mario Super Slugger his tiredness was catching up to him.  "I love you Nina-Chan."

         "I love you too Markus."

          Slash smiled from her response.  The next thing he knew, it was morning.  He looked and saw Nina still sleeping.  Nina was using Slash's arm as a pillow, so he knew he could not move or else it would wake her.  He admired her and could not stop looking at her beautiful face.  

          He suddenly thought of her Uncle might come looking for her, and he got a little worried.  He woke Nina up by kissing her on her cheek and said, "Good morning Nina-Chan."

          Nina showed a sleepy smile and said, "Good morning too Markus."

          "You should get ready for today before your Uncle gets worried."

          "That is a great idea."  

           Nina and Slash got up, as she was about to leave his room, Slash gave her a little deep kiss for the morning and they both blushed as they were finished.  Nina left Slash's room...
