I just couldn't focus; the ship was rocking too violently. The light above was swaying to the point where it would occasionally point towards the walls. My desk, which was supposed to be a study place for me to work, kept moving, messing up my writing. Occasionally, a book would pop open, or a trinket would fall off of the desk. I was frustrated. There was so much work to do, but no conceivable way for me to do it. It was still early in the night though, so I decided to try a bit of reading. I walked over to her bed at the other end of the room. It was nowhere near as nice as what I had at Hyrule Castle, but it was still rather luxurious, with its lace embroidery and silk pillows. It was quite fit for a princess like me. At the other end of the room, behind my desk, was a giant window. As tall as the room and spanning nearly the length of it, the window allowed for a great view out of the stern of the ship. As the ship continued to rock, I repeatedly tried to settle in on the bed. After a few moments, I noticed something peculiar just out of my eye-line. Out the window, I saw waves lapping up against the pane. My room was several decks above the hull, meaning these waves had to be massive. Even more terrifying, the water was not receding from the pane, but seemed to be leveling out about a foot above the floor.

I got up to investigate, but as soon as I did, the ship lurched forward, sending me to the floor. It then lurched backwards, causing me to tumble across the room. I laid there until something hit me. A wave of water had entered and started to fill the room. I stood up realizing that the worst had happened: the ship was sinking. I got up and stumbled to the desk to gather all of my important books and papers. However, most of them had already fallen off into the water, now up to my knees. Somehow, a crack appeared on the window above my head, allowing the harsh sea to come in. I screamed as frigid water poured onto me, pinning me to my desk. I truly felt as that I was to die right there and then.

Suddenly, a strong voice was heard in the distance. "Zelda!" I struggled to see who it was. In the doorway was a tall, curvy, female figure in a skin-tight blue jumpsuit.

"Samus!" I cried out.

"Zelda!" Samus replied as she trudged through the water, now lapping against her thighs. "We need to get out of here!"

"I can't" I replied, overwhelmed and resigned to death.

"No! You must come! Your people need you!" Samus said as she grabbed me. "I need you!"

Samus's words filled me with a renewed determination. I grabbed ahold of Samus's arm, and we went to the door to escape. The water was past our waists now, making travel very difficult. Occasionally, a wave would come through, soaking us. The ship also started to list to port, causing us to lose our footing and get sloshed around. Samus pointed to a light and a path less than ten yards ahead. "We need to get to that stairwell!"

At that moment, a massive wave rolled through. It was so massive that it completely submerged us, and made me lose my grasp on Samus. I surfaced, nearly hitting the ceiling, and frantically looked for my hero.

"Zelda, I'm over here!" Samus's head was bobbing several yards ahead of me. "Use the beam on the ceiling to shimmy over here". Seeing what she was doing, I followed suit. Soon I was at the stairwell, where Samus was, who gave me the final push over the railing and up the stairs.

I climbed to the next deck on her hands and knees. Gasping for air, Samus came right behind me. I stumbled to my feet on the listing boat, as she locked the door behind me.

"That will keep the ship afloat for a little bit. Are you ok?" she asked.

"I think so," I replied, huddling against my friend. "What do we do now?"

Samus pointed down the hall. "There!"

I looked: the hall was tilted down, to the point that only water was present. "You mean-".

"Yes Zelda, we're going to have to swim for it".

"Oh Goddesses!" I cried.

"Look, it's the only way. It's not that far. You can make it! I know it!" I was still wide-eyed at this revelation, as Samus walked us towards the water's edge. "I'll be right behind you. I promise".

Samus hugged me tightly. I had always hoped that if I ever got into this situation, I would drown in the arms of my one true love. But Samus kept me going. She wasn't going to stop, and she wasn't going to let me stop. With her, I felt like I could do anything, because I know she could do anything. I walked into the bubbling water, my skirt floating up the further I went. When the waterline was just below my breast, I took several fast, deep breaths and dove under.

I struggled through the darkness, the debris, the currents going against me. With every stroke, I pushed on; towards a goal I wasn't sure existed. I tried to look back and see if Samus was really behind me. But the darkness made it difficult to see, and it was hard to maneuver in my dress and in the tight hallway. I continued forward. It was getting very hard to hold my breath now, and my strokes would barely propel my forward. But I soon saw a light. It was the door to the outside.

I swam hard for it, but after a few yards, I couldn't move forward. I looked down, and saw my dress had gotten hooked on something. I tried to free my, but among the many folds of the many layers of my dress, I couldn't find the problem. My lungs were on fire; any second would be her final. Finally, I screamed for the only thing that could save me. "Samus! Samus!" With my lungs empty, I prepared to inhale underwater and end it all. Just then, something happened. I felt two powerful arms come around me. I knew it had to be Samus! I felt my dress rip, and I was soon being pushed forward.

We passed through the door, and quickly hit the surface. I coughed up loads water as I hung on to my savior, who was gasping heavily and barely keeping her head above water. "Oh Samus! Thank you! Thank you!" I said.

"It's ok. It's ok." Samus said, trying to console me. "Here, this way". To the side was a small, overturned life boat. Samus slowly swam to it, dragging me along. When we got to it, Samus helped me up, and then swam to the other side to get up onto it.

The great ship had slipped underneath the sea, and all other debris had vanished. The rain had subsided and the waves had calmed to a gentle rocking. We were alone. I had collapsed as soon as I hit the solid wood of the lifeboat, and Samus crawled to check on me.

"I thought I was going to die in there," I said, barely able to speak from exhaustion.

"Not while I'm still around" Samus answered back with a smile. I looked at the woman who saved me. There were still droplets of water all along her body and on her face. Her Zero Suit captured every curve of her, from her strong arms to her ample breasts to her washboard abs to her shapely butt. I also noticed that her hair was out of her ponytail, and slicked along her back. But where she emerged from the ordeal looking even more alluring, I was in an opposite state. My hair was all over the place, and my dress, the thing that nearly killed me on the ship, continued to cling to my body. This allowed Samus to see some of its hidden features: my belly, my legs, my pelvis, even my nipples, which at this point were very hard. In some places, the dress had gone completely sheer. Finally, there was a long tear in the front where I was hooked, and where Samus had freed me.

I put a hand on Samus's face. The huntress reacted with shock: "Zelda, you're shivering!"

I turned to my clothes at this point. "M-m-m-my dress is… r-r-ripped"

Samus looked down, and soon realized what was going on. "The water on our clothes could freeze us to death!" Samus stood up. "We should get out of these wet clothes and huddle for warmth".

Before I could react, Samus had unzipped and taken off most of her Zero Suit. Soon she stepped out of it and threw it overboard. She then unhooked her lacy red bra, and pulled down her matching thong. Samus stood there, in all of her naked glory, allowing me to pour over every inch of her desirable body. I saw all of her features, previously shielded by her suit, in the flesh, and saw some new enticing things, like her large aerolas and her barely shaved pussy. I wanted nothing more than to be engulfed by Samus's body.

She knelt down over me. I looked into the huntress's big blue eyes, full of concern and want. Somehow, stripping naked had made Samus's face more beautiful. "Zelda, do you need me to help you?"

I moaned with what coherence I could muster, "Oh Samus! Take my clothes off. Do it!"

Samus grabbed the top of my dress, and with a powerful jerk, tore it to my stomach. I gasped as my modest breasts plopped out and hit the chilly air. I threw my head back as Samus continued to tear the dress off of me, until I was as naked as Samus was.

I couldn't take it anymore. In a throaty voice, I yelled, "Kiss me Samus! For the sake of the goddesses, if it's the last thing you ever do, kiss me!"

With immense tenderness, Samus held me in her right arm, and cupped my face with her other hand. Looking deep within, Samus, with all the sweetness in the world, said, "I love you". I closed my eyes,

Zelda woke up in a tangled wad of blankets and pillows. She tossed and turned, trying to get a sense of her surroundings. Sitting up, she observed that she was not on any ship, but a mansion, the Smash Bros. Mansion to be exact.

Sweet Din, Zelda thought, trying to get adjusted to the morning light, did I just have that dream… with Samus?!
