Chapter 1: There tournament
There was a time I was willing to do anything to be more. Those times have passed, and with them, my childhood dreams… allow me to elaborate.
Once upon a time, there was a child. This child was tasked with saving a world. After waging war for seven years, his mission was successful. He was one of my ancestors. Who am I you may be asking yourself? My name is Desmond, descendant of Link the hero of time! This is my story.
It all began in may. It was like any morning. Peaceful… until my alarm clock went off.
I woke up, and sleepily looked over at the alarm.
"6:45… I'm GOING TO BE LATE!" I thought to myself. I think I need to clarify why this day was so important. At the time, I was a high school senior, And this was my graduation day.
Upon realizing the time, I leaped out of bed, and began a highly accelerated version of my morning routines. After doing so, I ran out the door, to catch the bus.
"well, Desmond, you are right on time." My bus driver said.
"I always am…" I hastily replied.
That morning was as normal as it got. The sun was shining, wind was light and breezy, and I was in a great mood. Normally, I had a bad feeling about days like this one but not this one. This would be a great day.
Upon arriving at school, I was greeted by my friend, James. James was the kind of guy who you could depend on. He was reliable, an excellent student, and always paid close attention to detail.
"well, it seems I caught a looser." He said. For a friend, he had a weird way of showing affection for his friends.
"have you taken a look in the mirror, pal? I see a bigger looser." I shot back. For someone who could act like an idiot sometimes, I could always count on him.
He smiled at me with that signature grin of his that always followed a drill punch to the gut. Which he did.
" oww. Dude, what gives?" I don't know… I think your paranoia is rubbing off on me. I have a really weird feeling about today." He told me. It takes a lot to rattle him. This only made me feel like I needed to cheer Him up.
"you know what? I feel it too! I think it is the light at the end of the tunnel. High school is over! We are now ready to live out our lives." I told him. This was the only time I felt this way, it was as if time had stopped, and something wanted me to enjoy this day. I was right, as you will find out.
" You're right! How do you see things that way? The glass is always half full for you. Why is that?" He asked me.
" I just don't find a need to think about the worst. I said. It was true. I don't see why people fret over stupidity. Either way, we started walking to the cafeteria.
"Hey, have you seen Britney? She is normally with you." I asked him.
"I don't know. I think she is under siege from all the buzzards who wants her money." James replied. I honestly felt bad for her. Britney was the daughter of the richest person in town. She had the most money out of anyone in school, which has drawn a crowd of people to attack her. She had also taken self defense classes. Karate, jujitsu, tai chi, and tai Kwan do were her specialties, and she was probably the most lethal person in school, but her girly girl personality doesn't help her.
We walked in on a typical raid. She was stranding on top of a table, wearing her trademark blue sweater, with about a dozen or so people surrounding her.
"come on Britney… just a hundred bucks? I'll pay you back tomorrow." one of the raiders said.
"HELL no!" She screamed. She stomped on the guy's hand and broke it. He shrieked in pain, and skunked back.
"hey buzzards, buzz off!" I yelled, scaring the people who were harassing her for money. Soon, they Parted and we talked about graduation.
"I can't believe it! We are going to graduate tonight! Isn't this great?" she told us. She was right. We had been planning our party for weeks. It would be great.
"Hey, do you know where the other two are? They need to be here for the tournament." I said.
" Right here, Desmond!" Maria called out.
Maria was someone you just wanted to be around. She could fight any battle, and keep her cool in most situations. Behind her was Samantha, The youngest in our group. She was only 14, but she was smarter than any of us. She also had a green thumb! She could look at anything, and it would grow.
"hey guys! Ready for tonight?" Samantha asked.
"yep. We are gonna be on a rampage tonight! Desmond has just gotten a Wii, and we plan to live stream skyward sword." Britney replied.
"Britney, I wanted that to be a surprise! You know Sam hasn't play that one yet!" I replied.
The Bell rang, and we started to walk to class. We had been holding a smash bros tournament in class for a couple of weeks, and it was down to us.
"I hope you don't feel bad when I beat you senseless today." I said.
" you are so wrong, Desmond… it is I who shall be kicking your butt!" Britney replied.
" Ten bucks says you're wrong" I replied. I knew she would try to one up my deal.
" Twenty says you're wrong!" she replied. I knew she was serious. I always liked to accept challenges like this, because I was always good at winning them.
"its so on!" I told her.
So began the challenge. I fought hard, so did she. I was using Mario, who was my best player. Britney used kirby, who she could use perfectly in any fight. We both used all of our attacks abilities, and played like pros. At the last second, a smash orb appeared, and she got it, and beat me.
"So, where is that twenty bucks?" she asked me. I lost, and I knew it. I pulled out my wallet, and gave her the winnings, and then the Bell rung. This day was perfect. I should have known it was too good to be true…
