wanted me to draw this for my part of the art trade. I did write a short story for this, but regrettably due to the weird bug that's going around, the original story was deleted, and I forgot to save it. Luckily for me, my good friend, wrote me a new story. So here it is:

"Samus rolled to the side as Ridley's gigantic tail came crashing down. A split second was all that kept her from a certain death. This had not been a lucky day for her. First her power suit was disabled, forcing her into her undersuit, but the Reconaissance ship (SP?) was just minutes from a deadly self-destruct. Why did that always happen? However, Samus, while vulnerable was not defenseless. Her pistol shots were more than enough to keep the ferocious dragon in check. Ridley knew he needed to escape, but with Samus barrage combined with his closed range abilities, he was limited. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an abandoned blaster. Gliding down and grabbing it, he fired it at Samus, who was knocked to the ground. Ridley turned, preparing to make his getaway, when he realized something was clamped around his torso. Looking down, he saw Samus grabbing him...or was she hugging him? Hearts were in the bounty hunters eyes as she embraced the dragon. Ridley, confused looked at the markings on his blaster, reading something similar to "Hypno Love-Love Ray."

I guess he dropped the ray gun in the pic... Oh well. Please comment and enjoy!
