It was a lovely morning at the palace in Hyrule. Their princess was jumping
up and down excitedly. It was her favorite time of year. TIME FOR THE SUPER
SMASH BROTHERS MELEE TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!!
"Uh, princess," Link said to Zelda, who couldn't keep still. "The boat will be here any second, so.calm down."
"OKAY!" Zelda shouted, finally stopping moving. They were both standing on Hyrule's dock, waiting for the Mushroom kingdom boat to pick them up. They (meaning the Mushroom kingdom, not Hyrule) were hosting the cool tournament this year.
"Well well well, if it isn't the princess and her gallant hero," came a quite sarcastic voice behind them. They swiveled around, only to see their arch-nemesis, Gannondorf (or Ganon). He laughed, and held out his hand. Link hesitated, then shook it.
"Participating again, Ganon?" he asked.
"Of course," he answered. "Why would I miss out on the chance to whip your butts without punishment? And on national television!" He laughed, and Zelda rolled her eyes.
"You sound more excited than me," she said. Then, the moment they'd (all) been waiting for, the boat pulled into the harbor! "YES! YES YES YES!" Zelda exclaimed. "They're finally here!!!"
Ganon looked up at the church clock. "And right on time, too. My my, that pudgy plumber is quite punctual, isn't he?"
Slowly, a ramp lowered down to the dock. And, true to Ganon's word, a pudgy plumber appeared. "Greetings-a Hyrule!" he shouted. "It's-a me! Mario!" The crowd at the harbor cheered. Then, out came Princess Peach.
"Princess Zelda, Link, and Gannondorf, would you please board the ship!" she called out.
Without a moment's hesitation or dignified pause, Zelda ran up the gangplank, and embraced Peach. "Oh, Peachie! It's been so long! Well, only a year really, but that's still very long! Much too long to be away from one of my dearest friends!"
"Yes, I know!" Peach whispered. Link, Ganon, and Mario were all busy shaking hands.
Peach walked up to Link, and hugged him (a little too tightly, thought Zelda), and pecked his cheek. Zelda had seen that one coming, as Peach had made a habit of doing it ever since last year. "Welcome, Link!" she said. The gangplank rose up from the dock, and the Hylians cheered.
"Good-bye!" Gannondorf shouted, waving. "I'll miss you!"
"You know someone?" Link asked incredulously.
"No, that's not the point!" They both continued waving.
Zelda and Peach started walking around the deck, arm in arm. "So, have you picked up anyone else yet?" the Hyrulian Princess asked.
"Yes," Peach answered. "We've gotten Fox, Falco, Samus, Captain Falcon, and, uh.well, everyone except Marth and Roy. Altea is our last stop, you know. Would you like to see everyone?"
"Oh yes!" Zelda answered breathlessly. Peach led her into a room, where an armoured figure was beating up a man in a racing suit.
"AND THE NEXT TIME YOU DARE ASK ME FOR A KISS, I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH A LOT MORE THAN BRUISES TO REMEMBER ME BY!!!!" the one in armor shouted. Then she turned, and saw the two princesses. "Oh, Zelda! It's so brilliant to see you!" She took off the helmet, and shook her head of blonde hair.
"Samus!" Zelda exclaimed, extending a hand. "So wonderful to see you again." She looked down at Captain Falcon. "So.I guess Falcon's still trying to get you to go out with him, right?"
"Yeah," Samus answered, rolling her eyes. "Geez, don't men get it when girls say no? No means no!"
"Well, I certainly know what you mean," Zelda responded. "You don't know HOW many times my father has tried to marry me off to some dork." She shivered. "That pocket protector still gives me nightmares."
"Samus, do you know where we might find Fox and Falco?" Peach inquired. Samus pointed to a door on their right. "Thank you. See you later, Captain Falcon."
"Show me your moves," Falcon said wearily, saluting them.
"Riiiigggghhhtttt," Zelda said, laughing.
Fox and Falco were playing pool. Zelda and Peach crept in silently, and the two pilots' backs were to them. Then, suddenly, "HI GUYS!!" they yelled at the top of their lungs. Fox's cue stick dug into the felt tabletop. The bird and fox turned, and grinned, bowing.
"Good morning, princesses," Fox said. "Lovely to see you, Zelda. However, I am afraid that you've ruined our pool game. Of course, I was winning it anyway."
"Were not!" Falco retorted.
"Was too!" Fox yelled back. The two royal women decided to leave them to their quarrel, and left in search for Mario and Luigi.
The two brothers were playing shuffleboard on the deck. Zelda flashed them a smile, and they stopped playing.
"Hello-a, Zelda!" Mario said. "It's-"
"I know," said Zelda, giggling. "It's-a you, Mario!" The four of them broke into laughter. "I'm sorry. Goodness Luigi, it's nice to see you! Three hundred and sixty five days sure do drag by!"
"They-a sure do, Princess-a Zelda!" Luigi said.
"Just call me Zelda," she responded. "Please, continue your game."
"PIIIII-KAAAAAAA-CHUUUUUUU!!!!" A flash of lightning came from within the ship.
"Oh no, not again!" Peach shouted. She and Zelda ran into a room.
Pikachu was inside, with a moustache and monocle drawn onto his face. Jigglypuff was in the corner, bound and gagged, her large eyes opened very wide.
"She must have sung him to sleep," Zelda deduced. "And drawn on his face." It was Jigglypuff's favorite prank.
"Pika-pi, pikachu!" the rodent exclaimed angrily.
"Uh, pardon?"
"He said, 'That pokemon is a hazardous creature.'" A purple cat floated into the room. Zelda recognized him as the psychic pokemon Mewtwo. "I suggest that you two get your royal tushies out of here. Some rather.disturbing actions may ensue." The princesses quickly left.
Just as Zelda closed the door behind her, she saw a bucket of water drop on Peach. It was followed by several water balloons.
"What the-" the Mushroom Princess looked up, only to see Bowser rolling with laughter. Then the two princesses began to laugh.
"Hi, Bowser!" Zelda called up. "You missed me!"
The Koopa threw another balloon, this time hitting Mario.
"Hey-a, watch-a where you're-a throwin,' huh?" he shouted angrily.
"Yeah!" seconded Luigi. "You're-a washing the paint off-a the shuffle- a board course! Hold-a up!" Bowser walked away, laughing.
After seeing Ness, Dr. Mario, DK, and Kirby, Zelda walked to the bow of ship, where Link was standing. "Hi," she said softly.
"Hello, princess," he said. "See everyone?"
"Yes," Zelda said. Then she laughed. Link raised an eyebrow. "Sorry. I just can't get the image out of my mind of Samus and Captain Falcon. He was annoying her again, and she kept beating him up."
Link laughed. "Geez, I really hope that I don't have a girlfriend like that some day."
"Oh, but she's not really his girlfriend, because she hates him." For some ODD REASON, she was blushing. Then, Peach's voice rang out of the loud and obnoxious loudspeakers.
"Fellow Smashers, we are now approaching the dock of Altea!"
Link rolled his eyes, as his fellow sailors cheered. Zelda gave him a confused look, but remained silent. Strange.what kind of grudge did he hold against Altea anyway?
They heard the gangplank lower, and heard the "Greetings-a, Altea! It's-a me, Mario!" speech. Marth and Roy boarded the ship. All the people who had gathered at the dock cheered wildly, and Link put his face in his hands.
"Aren't you going to go see Marth?" he questioned. Zelda looked surprised.
"No, why should I?"
"Well.no reason, I guess. I just thought you might, you know, be anxious to see.him. That's all."
Zelda gave him a look. "No it's not." She sighed. "You think I'm his 'girlfriend', don't you?" Link glared into space. "Well, I'm not. He may think it, but I'm not! I mean, just look at Samus and Captain Falcon!" Link sighed.
"All right," he said. "I guess I won't.jump to conclusions anymore."
"Hey, Zellie!" Peach's voice called out. Slightly reluctantly, Zelda turned, and saw her friend, with Marth and Roy right behind her. They were both grinning. They rushed forward, each grabbed one of her hands, and kissed them in an annoying gentlemanly fashion. Zelda glanced at Link out of the corner of her eye. He had left.
"Lovely princess," Marth said. "It has been much too long! They really ought to consider holding this tournaments more often." He winked, and Zelda laughed nervously.
"Well-l, I'd better be going. I-I uh, need to, to, uh." she looked desperately at Peach for help.
"Help Jigglypuff!" the Mushroom princess exclaimed, shocked, slapping her forehead. "We forgot all about her, didn't we Zel?" And with that, the two princesses dashed off.
"Baka!" Roy shouted, slapping Marth's forehead.
"Hey, it's not my fault she ran off to save some stupid pokemon," he retorted. "And it takes one to know one, BAKA!!!"
"Uh, princess," Link said to Zelda, who couldn't keep still. "The boat will be here any second, so.calm down."
"OKAY!" Zelda shouted, finally stopping moving. They were both standing on Hyrule's dock, waiting for the Mushroom kingdom boat to pick them up. They (meaning the Mushroom kingdom, not Hyrule) were hosting the cool tournament this year.
