Letters of Link

To my best friend, Midna,
I can't believe it's already been a year since entering the Brawl tournament…
I love coming here since everyone (except Ganon of course) is like family to me….
I was really happy to see that most of my friends from the Smash and Melee tournaments were still in the Brawl… but I was disappointed to see that Roy and Pichu didn't make it…
As for updates on my old friends, Marth is still as girly looking as ever… Mario, Samus, and I are still as tight knit as ever… Ness is still my little adopted son (I love the kid to death)… my little brother, Young Link, isn't here anymore, so my little cousin, Outset, will be taking his place… I still take care of Yoshi and Pikachu as if they were my own pets…
…and I still have a crush on Princess Peach. I still stumble over my words and act like a clumsy oaf in her presence, and she's still as beautiful, kind, and graceful as ever. She was even nice enough to bring everyone "Welcome back" muffins.
As for new people, the newcomers are even more interesting than last year's newcomers:
Wolf (who passes himself off as a wanted space pilot) seems to have a rivalry with Fox and Falco, since they nearly got into a small fight at the introduction meeting.
Crimson, who's a Pokémon Trainer, has become an immediate friend of mine, since we both share a passionate interest in Pokémon; he even gave me my own Chikorita to care for. He doesn't fight on the field like the rest of us; instead, he uses Squirtle ( a Water Pokémon), Ivysaur (a Grass Pokémon), and Charizard (a fire Pokémon) at his disposal and gives them commands from the sidelines.
Meta Knight is a swordsman like me. He seems to have a friendly rivalry with Kirby, and they look alike… except Kirby is a pink puffball with blue eyes, and Meta Knight is a dark blue puffball with yellow eyes (but he wears a silver mask to hide his face), and a purple cape that can transform into wings. He's a very formidable fighter, I must say, and we often train together.
Ike, a Crimean mercenary from the continent of Tellius, is already one of my rivals… on AND off the battlefield. See, he wields this golden sword (Ragnell, is its name, I think) with one hand, although the sword is originally meant to be used with two. He's a powerhouse, I'll say that much, but sword skills isn't the only thing we compete in…
Which brings me to the one of the other newcomers… Pit, an angel from a faraway place in the heavens called Angel Land.
Pit is like me in many ways… He's an archer and a swordsman, both of us serve under green-haired goddesses, and we both wear tunics… (Go figure.)
Pit and I room together, and we even share common interests, and I've really enjoyed getting to know him, and I think I like him… a LOT. My heart seems to skip a few beats when I'm near him, my body grows really warm, and the slightest touch—whether it be a high five or a friendly hug—makes me feel all tingly inside. And when he speaks, I melt like butter…
However, Ike has feelings for him, too… Which is the second part of our rivalry, and we've been getting into petty little slap fights to try and win Pit's affection. Peach finds it amusing, everyone else thinks we're childish… and Wario has made a ton of money off of placing bets as to who'll win the bitchfights each day.
Luckily, Pit is too naïve and innocent to really see why Ike and I squabble like little schoolgirls… (Oi….)
So yeah, not only am I fighting to win to tournament, I'm also fighting to figure out who I like the most, Peach or Pit… (Samus saw right through me, and I finally admitted to her that I was bisexual, which amused her very much.) Oh, and to show Ike who the top dog of this house is…
So yeah, I'll be in touch with any breaking news and such, and I'll gladly keep you posted on whatever happens in the mansion.
Hugs and Muffins,
--Link
Okay, so there is the first chapter, and my next one will probably come tomorrow.
As for pairings, Link x Midna (friendship), Link x Pit x Ike (triangle), and Link x Peach (romantic crush).
Good luck to anyone else who decides to take up Star's challenge!
