Author's Note: Hey everyone! My name is PrincessWarrior3. This is my first story AND my first contest entry, so I'm a bit nervous. I hope you like and enjoy this story!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything, except for the plot.

It was another day at the Smash Mansion. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, everything seemed to be at peace.

It had only been three months since the Smashers defeated Tabuu. They had gathered at the mansion, and they were living the life. Everyone seemed to be happy. Well...almost everyone. There was only one person who didn't seem to be happy.

Princess Zelda.

She wasn't depressed or anything, she was just lonely. All of her friends had found love. Whenever the girls talked about their boyfriends, Zelda would always feel left out. She enjoyed listening to their respected lovers' stories. Whether the stories were about Link, Snake, or even Kirby, Zelda was glad to see her friends happy. So why wasn't she happy? That was the exact same question she would ask herself everyday.

"Zelda?" asked a familiar voice. Zelda turned around, only to see her best friend, Princess Peach, standing near the doorway of their shared bedroom.

"It's time for breakfast. Are you going to join us?"

"Sure. I'll be down in a minute," replied Zelda.

Peach left to go join the other Smashers. She felt worried for Zelda. The Hylian princess kept re-reading that same romance novel over and over again. As she was serving herself breakfast, Peach thought up an idea and decided to tell the other girls.

As Zelda was serving herself food, she saw the usual occurings during breakfast. From Kirby and Yoshi devouring almost all of the food, to Red feeding his Pokemon. From Olimar feeding his Pikmin, to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong eating their banana stash. From the heroes eating and chattering, to the villains devising a plot to overthrow the heroes (which will, obviously, fail). Zelda giggled to herself at the thought.

"Zelda! Over here!" called the bounty huntress, Samus Aran. Zelda walked over to the girls and sat at their table.

"What is it?"

"We just thought up an idea," replied one of the Ice Climbers, Nana.

"We're going to have a Date Night, tonight!" exclaimed the Pokemon, Jigglypuff.

"Who's going with who?" asked Zelda.

"Well," said Peach, "I'm going with Link, Samus is going with Snake, Nana is going with Toon Link, and Jigglypuff is going with Kirby."

"That's nice," Zelda was ready to leave, not wanting to listen to their plans anymore.

"Hold on. You're coming with us," Peach said with her cheery voice.

"But...I have no one to go with."

"That's where you're wrong, my dear friend," interrupted Samus, "We knew you would say that, so we decided to ask Ike if he could take you."

"YOU WHAT!?" Zelda yelled as she stood up and slammed her fists onto the table.

Everyone in the dining room looked up and stared at Zelda.

"Uh...excuse me," She sat back down, hoping everyone would forget her sudden outburst.

"How could you do this to me?" she whispered quietly.

"We didn't want you to feel left out," replied Nana.

"We're sorry," Jigglypuff said with sorrow in her voice, acting as if she did something wrong.

"It's okay. I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you guys like that."

"So," interrupted Peach, trying to change the subject, " Ike has a battle with Marth in a few hours, so he should get ready afterwards. You should start getting ready, just in case he comes early."

"Fine," sighed Zelda, accepting the fact that her friends had set her up.

Elsewhere

"Hahaha. Fools. Do they really believe they have defeated me? Though my soul lives on, I must find myself a vessel. I shall watch the Smashers carefully, and then I shall enter one's body. After I take over their body, I shall release my wrath on the Smashers. One by one, they shall all suffer!"

A cliffhanger! :O

I apologize if any of you don't like the pairings, but these are just pairings I grew up with (except for Toon LinkxNana. I just threw that into the story :D). I also apologize that there wasn't enough romance and/or tragedy in this chapter, but there will be in the next ones.

Who is this mysterious villain? Why does the villain want revenge on the Smashers? How will Date Night go for the lovers? Is Zelda okay with Ike taking her to Date Night? You'll have to read the next chapter to find out. See you guys then!
