A Midsummer Night's Dream

By - HylianHero128

I RETURN! WITH ANOTHER BRAND NEW ADVENTURE!

after the rather... completely unnoticed completion of Crushed, i decided to put up another story :) . i think my writing skills have improved alot since i first started crushed. as one reviewer brought to my attention, it was rather dialogue heavy. ive tried to rectify that in this story, and while there still might be a few lengthy dialogue streams in this story (primarilly in the first chapter), i think ive done a good job. ive read over it many times and have gotten others to read it, and i think it's ready for its debut:D:D:D i also found i jumped around too much in crushed, and i strayed from the main plot alot (mainly cuz i didnt really have a set plot). this time, i have a better idea of how this story is going to turn out. im expecting it to be a bit shorter, more to the point ANYWAYS, enough ranting.

SUMMARY:

this is a story about love 3 :) .a teenager's life can become quite chaotic, as they try to balance all the important things (and unimportant things they think are important) that make up their lives. school, homework, extra-curricular stuff, family stuff, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, tv, there's so much for them to do. well at super smash bros. secondary, the teens are no different, and now, another ball is thrown into the juggling act as the (rather eccentric) drama teacher announces a production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Link, who will do anything to attract Zelda's attention, decides to try out, in hopes that he and zelda will get the lead parts and end up having a romantic stage relationship. but link faces the normal high school student's troubles: bad grades, bullies, and all that other good stuff. will the smash players be able to pull this play off?
(wow, thats a lot to read...)

anyways, i hope you enjoy this story, which, like the play itself, is a romantic comedy that will make you laugh, cry, and want to eat rice krispie squares (as you can tell, im hungry.) OH YEA! i almost forgot! it would help if you're familiar with the play, but im sure most of you are. i know lots of schools do this play in english around grade 8-9. and if you're not, i suggest you look into it, its a really good play. ask you're teachers about it, or go to a library or look it up online! AAAAANYWAYS, without any further delay, may i present to you:

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM! (by HylianHero128) ENJOY!

Chapter One: Some Wonderful News!

Zelda slammed her locker shut, science textbook and binder in hand. The bell sounded and Zelda headed towards her grade eleven chemistry class.

Why did I even take chemistry this year? Zelda thought to herself. I hate it. Nonetheless, her father insisted she take the course, thinking it would be good for Zelda's potion making skills.

"Father, I'm a psychic, not a witch!"

"Darling, that doesn't matter. You need potions to keep your magic up anyways. Why not learn how to make them yourself? You're certainly bright enough and witches aren't always available."

Zelda sighed. She stopped at the door of the classroom, waiting for the flood of students to disperse. Once the classroom was empty, Zelda took her usual seat at the back by the window. She leaned her head on her hand and twirled her pen around, waiting for the rest of the class. The other students soon came. Samus sat down by Zelda.

"Hey Zellie." She chirped.

"Hey Samus."

"What's wrong?"

"Nothin." Zelda mumbled.

"Come on, tell me."

"Nothing, I'm just tired."

"Oh, okay."

The bell sounded again and the teacher called the class to order.

"Good morning class," He said in a monotonous drone, "Today, we will be studying about the many different polyatomic atoms that are…"

Zelda was letting her mind drift. First block science on a Monday morning just didn't agree with her. Instead of elements and compounds, her mind was focussed on last night's episode of the OC.

"…Hmm."

"Did you say something Zel?" Samus said.

"Huh?… ah no!" Zelda said, snapping back to reality.

"Zelda."

"Huh?" The teacher was staring intently at Zelda. "Yes sir?" Zelda stood up.

"Can you answer the question please?"

"…the question?"

"Yes Zelda, the question."

"Er, well…"

"Psst, the answer is Beryllium Permanganate."

"Beryllium Permanganate."

"Excellent Zelda! Now, continuing with our lesson…"

Zelda gave a sigh of relief and sank back into her chair. She turned around. "I owe you one Marth."

"More like twelve." He grinned. "You can pay me back later." And he gave Zelda a little wink.

Zelda giggled, then turned to face the front.

Link's nose was buried deep in his French-English dictionary.

"Man… Just look at all this crap! I'm SO not taking French next year."

"You have to if you wanna go to college after high school."

"Why don't colleges take Ancient Hylian as a second language?" Link said, frustrated.

Roy laughed. "The only college that does is Hyrule Academy, and you're never going to get in that school!"

"Shut up!" But Roy was right. Even Zelda would have a hard time getting into HA. Hmm… Zelda.

"…Link?"

"What?"

"You've got that look again."

"What look?"

"The 'Oh I love Zelda so much' look."

Before Link could retort, the bell rang. All the students got up from their seats.

"Don't forget your essays!" Called the teacher. Link and Roy joined the mob of tenth graders that were making their way out of the room.

"What do you have next?" Link asked Roy.

"Math."

"Isn't Peach Toadstool in your math class?"

"Mhm."

"…Roy, you've got that look again."

"What look?"

"The 'Oh I love Peach so much' look."

"Oh ha ha, you're so funny Link."

"It's true! Whenever I mention Peach, your eyes go all dreamy and out of focus."

"Yeah? Well so do yours when I mention Zelda."

"Yeah, so? What's your point?"

"My point is that… well, I'm not the only one who does it!"

"Okay." Link said with an eye roll. "Well, I've got drama next. See you at lunch."

"Yeah, okay. See ya!"

Link trudged to his locker, depositing his binder and dictionary. He shut it once more, and headed to the drama room. Drama was definitely Link's favourite subject. For one thing, there were no textbooks or homework involved, something that made things a heck of a lot easier for Link. Secondly, he loved acting. He wasn't shy and didn't get stage fright. It all came naturally to him. But most importantly of all, Zelda was in that class.

Oh give up Link. He told himself. She's WAY out of your league.

Just then, he saw Zelda turning the corner. Link's heart leapt, only to sink once again. Holding Zelda's hand was the tall, blue-haired wonder, Marth, who appeared around the corner moments later. They passed Link.

"Hi Link." Zelda said.

"Hey Elfie." Marth said, sneering.

Link felt a pang of anger rush through him and he came close to punching Marth square in the face. Instead, he muttered a pathetic 'hey' and Zelda and Marth walked away.

"One day I'm going to kill him." Link grumbled to himself. He entered the drama room. He passed a wall lined with full-length mirrors and took a seat in a folding chair by the makeup drawers. Link's spirits rose a bit when he saw his friend Mario walk in.

"Hey Mario!"

"Hey-a Link. How is-a the great Hero of Time today-a?"

"All right I guess…"

"Something-a the matter?"

"No…"

The bell rang, and Link's drama teacher waltzed into the room.

"Class! I have some exciting news!" She sang.

"Really? What is it?" Zelda asked.

"Gather 'round and I'll tell you!" The class did as they were told, eager to hear the news.

"Out of the way, Elfie." Marth said, pushing Link aside. Link grumbled.

"What's-a the exciting news-a?" Mario asked.

"Well," Their drama teacher said, "this year, Super Smash Brothers Secondary is doing--" She made a dramatic pause, "A school play!" She clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh isn't it wonderful?"

It was apparent that the class agreed. At once, a ripple of excited chatter spread across the room.

"Oh wow! A school play!" Zelda said dreamily.

"I call dibs on the lead!" Marth proclaimed.

Link sighed. What an arrogant jerk he thought.

"Now now Marth, You don't even know what the play is!"

"What is it?" Link asked.

"It's a Shakespearean comedy! A Midsummer Night's Dream!"

"Ooh! Shakespeare!" Zelda said, again in her dreamy tone.

Marth grabbed Zelda by the waist. "I can be your Romeo."

Link rolled his eyes. He knew there was no Romeo in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Dumbass.

Their teacher, however, found Marth's blatant stupidity quite funny; giggling in an awkward, nasally laugh. "Silly boy. Anyways, auditions are today, after school in the gymnasium! I expect to see a lot of you there! We certainly have some talent in this class!"

Marth beamed, as if she were referring to him.

Yeah right. Link thought. Bowser's a better actor than him. Putting Marth aside, Link was very excited about the play. The school rarely did this sort of thing, focussing more on academics. Link hoped he would make it in. Maybe I'll get Lysander and Zelda will get Hermia! That would be perfect! Link envisioned romantically kissing Zelda in front of the whole school, and these thoughts kept Link in high sprits all day.

and that's the first chapter! PLEASE review, and tel me what u tihnk so far! ill put up more chapters as i get some reviews.
