Howdy guys! This is just a little something I plan to write on my free time and well, I have a lot of it...

Also I'd like to dedicate this story to my close friend. Thank you so much! PS: I do NOT own any of the characters only the plot, though I really wish I did! :) Please review! Thanks y'all!

Chapter 1

Okay Zelda, calm down. Remember, you're a princes, you're poised and elegant. Don't freak out. They're just newcomers... I sat at my vanity combing through my golden, brown hair over and over in attempts to keep myself calm, but who was I kidding? The newcomers are arriving at noon on the dot. Oh how it excited me to finally have some new competition in the mansion. Not that the occasional match with Marth or Link wasn't fun. Sometimes new was fun and I had the feeling that this would be an excellent source of it.

"Zelda!" Peach knock loudly on my door causing me to suddenly jump. I giggled to myself though knowing Peach was definitely hyped up about the big event. As I stood to make my way to the door I fumbled with my hair trying to fix it perfectly and sat back down in utter failure.

"Ah Peach, would you please just come in!" I sighed heavily and blew a small strand from atop my nose. Peach swiftly opened the door and rushed over to me with a distressed look.

"Zelda, you're still in your night gown and we have 15 minutes till noon! Hurry up!" Peach's voice chimed noisily in my ears as I saw Peach's gloved hand take my ribbon and tie my hair up in my half braid. Soon after she pulled back more of my hair and pinned it down placing my tiara gently on my head. Quickly, knowing she would pester me anyway, I put on my earrings and stood to slip into my normal elegant purple and white dress. While I was pulling on my gloves Peach had already started placing my golden armor on my shoulders. Once she was done with that she stood back to admire for a few seconds. I hadn't notice that she had put on her lovely light blue dress she wore only on certain occasions.

"Problem?" I asked as her eyebrows furrowed.

"Yes, you aren't hurrying!" She glanced over at my clock and squealed noticing the time. "Oh my! Come on, we have 5 minutes!"

Peach grabbed my arm and started dragging me off towards the door. I went willingly knowing that fighting was hopeless against her. Suddenly though she stopped, shook her head and continued on. When we arrived in the entrance hall, Peach finally released me and dashed off to where Link and Samus were standing. Lately Samus had only wore her blue body suit and left her power suit in her room. The sudden change allowed everyone to see how she really looked and even a few of the men greatly "enjoyed" the new view. The only people who knew what Samus looked like under the suit were Peach and I, as we were the only other girls in the entire mansion. Don't get me wrong though, Samus was a very pretty woman, only she'd probably be better off wearing the suit. But that wasn't any of my business what she wanted to wear. The only thing I was really concerned about were the newcomers. Eventually, I guess Link spotted me for he started to walk over to me with a grin.

"Hey Zel!" His arm had found its way around my shoulder and had pulled me in for a hug. I only smiled back with a small blush.

"Hey Link, aren't you just so excited for the new comers?" I asked pulling back slightly. He merely stood with his arm still around me and a slight nod to the side motioning to Peach.

"Yeah actually, Peach certainly is too isn't she?" He laughed. I giggled and watched as Peach was talking Marth's ear off in anticipation.

"Well as long as he can put up with her I suppose." I sighed with a small grin and looked back up at Link who stretched both of his arms out in front of him.

"I don't know what possessed him to deal with her as his girl though."

"It shouldn't matter if you care for someone." I stated. Link nodded his head in agreement.

"Believe me, I know. Midna did push me around a bit." He then laughed allowed and shook his head. "But that's besides the point."

"Is she visiting this weekend?"

"Yeah, I hope so anyway. She usually does every weekend, so if not she'll send a letter." He smiled to himself and let out a yawn. "After this I'm going to take a nap."

Before I could reply Peach had squealed at the top her lungs and almost jumped on Marth. The newcomers had arrived and each one walked through the door slowly taking in the new environment they would now call home. The first new comer I spotted was a small monkey by the name of Diddy Kong. He had 2 people standing by him. The first was a small boy whose name was Lucas. He had blonde hair sort of sticking up in the front. The other one was a small blue hedgehog by the name of sonic. Sonic seemed like a real prankster by the way he was acting. I gave a little giggle because I knew that him and Peach would be real good friends. Next I saw a large penguin with a big hammer in his hand. Zelda remembered Kirby talking about him before. Kirby said his name was king Dedede. King Dedede was in a group of 5 people. A boy with angel wings named Pit, a small knight named Meta knight, an aura Pokémon named Lucario, a small creature name Olimar, and a robot named R.O.B.

There was one more group of 3 people with a Pokémon trainer who had three Pokémon with him. A fire Pokémon named Charizard, water Pokémon named Squirtle, and a grass Pokémon named Ivysaur. Next was the leader of the star wolf team named Wolf whose glared as he spotted Fox. The next one was very quiet. The tall man's name was snake. The last one had the most annoying laugh ever. His name was Wario.

"Master hand said there were 14 new comers, right?" I asked counting heads. Link nodded and as well counted while pulling out a small pamplet Master Hand had passed out.

"You probably miscounted." Link shrugged his shoulders and turned towards the others. "I'll be right back alright?" I nodded in answer.

I turned back to the crowd of newcomers and studied again this time my gaze fell upon a late arrival. A man walked in the door and stood off to the side by himself, his spiky blue hair falling almost in front of his eyes. He had a very muscular and chiseled figure which to almost anyone was rather attractive, me in particular. Even better he had the most beautiful, bright cerulean blue eyes. They were almost so enticing as to even hypnotize someone. I almost wanted to walk over to him in greeting, but his cold gaze and large golden sword turned me away. I couldn't imagine why even with the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen. They were so cruel. Ike... Yes, that was his name. Ike of Crimea. Something about him though was very different, so different that I was determined to find out what it was. Though he didn't look like someone who'd be easy to talk to. The mercenary's appearance added to the gruffness of his attitude that I could see through already.

After looking around shortly he seemed to have spotted someone of interest. I watched he walked over to Marth and rested his sword on his shoulder casually. Marth had seemed to recognize Ike and his smile grew as he stuck out his hand out for a handshake. Ike shook it firmly but never once smiled. Marth had begun motioning to Peach and Link as if an introduction. It was shortly after that Marth made eye contact with me and waved his hand.

"Zelda! Come on over." He called. I grimaced slightly and walked slowly over to them. As I was now only a few feet away from Link Ike had turned around and gave me a closer view of his extremely handsome face. I almost stopped to stare in awe but kept walking as my eyes held his. His eyes, that I could now study more, were even more beautiful now than they had been awhile ago. Yet they were still filled with the cold seriousness that I saw. It seemed they studied mine as well but made a dissatisfied turn back to Marth who now opened his mouth to speak.

"And this is Zelda." Marth smiled.

"Princess Zelda." I corrected. Ike's eyes moved back to me, but lingered only at my feet.

"Yes, and this is Ike." Marth continued.

"It's a pleasure to meet you princess." His deep voice made me woozy as his eyes trailed back up to mine. I could say nothing back however for his half smile caught me off guard and made me stutter.

"You as well, Ike." I stated weakly. I cursed at myself for my nerves which I hadn't paid much attention to the fact that I was even nervous. I never get nervous like this. Ike's smirk widened slightly as I glared at him through eyes that I feared showed too much.

"Well, I'm going to explore." He nodded his head in my general direction and walked off past me that small smirk still on his lips. I only stood in shock and watched as he disappeared through the hallway. The only thing keeping my jaw closed was my hand resting on my chin.

The only thing I thought:

You have got to be kidding me.
