MINDSPRING- This is for PitFTW's and golfer's romance contest! :D I based this off of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas', except hey, it Valentine's themed. Hence the name. Since the limit is 3 chapters, I choose to do four days in each chapter. This be the first!

February 3, 2010

The day had a perfect beginning. Delicate pink clouds skirted around the bright morning sun, which in turn stained the lake a brilliant gold. Far above, the sky was still a deep blue, with little stars sprinkled throughout. Birds were singing quietly, as if they knew that the sunrise needed calm music.

Princess Peach sighed happily, curled up underneath a large pink Snuggie, sipping a cup of tea. She was outside on the balcony with her pajamas still on. Her legs were curled up underneath her, and her crown was off. Right now, in the bright calm of the rising sun's light, she was just Peach, a normal person, not a Brawl princess.

For reasons unknown to her, she had woken up exceptionally early today. While she had lain in bed, staring at the ceiling, she had had the sudden inspiration to watch the sunrise. Good inspiration, she thought, her large blue eyes trying to take in all the morning glory.

Peach sipped her tea and set it down on the glass table next to her as the sun steadily rose in the sky. When it reached the tips of the evergreens on the outskirts of the Smash property, she deemed it a good time to begin her morning preparations.

She clutched both Snuggie and cup of tea as she slid the door open into her spacious rooms. She shivered; after the warmth of the sun, her room was freezing. She set the cup down and tried in vain to wrap the blanket to cover the back of her legs. Peach stood there, trembling, until she noticed the large, pink, heart shaped balloon sitting on her bed.

Mouth and eyes open in amazement, she stared at it until it turned and she could see that on it, in beautiful script, were the words I love you!

She grinned widely and walked over to it. Pink and red ribbons were spilling from the base, and a small box of chocolates was tied to the end of the string. "Mario," she said to the balloon, "Valentine's Day isn't for at least a week!"

But she didn't object further, and snacked on a chocolate as she got ready for the day.

Princess Peach was sitting in the stands of the Smash Stadium, watching Mario prepare for his match against Dedede later that afternoon. Princess Zelda and Samus were sitting next to her, chatting and giggling about something. Peach had eyes for no one except for the man in red on the stage, practicing his attacks. Someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned, expecting it to be Zelda or Samus.

Fox and Falco stood behind her, both clearly uncomfortable. Samus and Zelda turned and smiled when they saw the two fidgeting. Peach smiled and said, "Hello, Fox. Hello Falco. What is it?"

Fox nudged Falco, who stepped forward and cleared his throat. He said gruffly, "From Mario to you." He handed her a slip of paper. On it, written in the same script as the one on the balloon yesterday, were the words, This coupon is good for one night of restaurant style service. Meal, music, and entertainment included. The rest of the paper was taken up by a drawing of Peach and Mario sitting at a candlelit table under the stars.

Peach giggled. Zelda and Samus craned over her shoulders, trying to see what it said. Fox held out a second paper and the two ran off as soon as they could.

"Oh, Peach, this is the cutest thing! I'm jealous." Zelda handed her the first slip back.

"What does the second one say?" Samus asked, taking the seat next to the Mushroom Kingdom princess.

"Good for one Smash Ball in a competition. (I had to beg, bribe, and blackmail Master Hand for this one)," Peach said slowly, her grin getting steadily wider. Zelda and Samus said 'Aww!' at the same time.

Peach looked to the stage for her knight, and when she found him, he was looking at her, his expression worried. Peach stood and blew a kiss to him. He grinned in relief and 'caught' it. He took off his cap and bowed to her.

Zelda stood next to her and shouted in mock fury to Link, who was also practicing, "LINK! Where the heck is MY one free Smash Ball??"

He looked up, confused, and yelled back, "What do you mean, 'one free Smash- AAAH!" Zelda covered her mouth her hands as he flew off the stage. Ganondorf stood were Link had been, grinning widely.

Zelda sat back on the metal seats and smiled sheepishly as Link reappeared. While the women giggled madly and tried to hide it, he waved to her and said, "I'll get working on that straight away, darling!"

As she entered the General Villas for breakfast, Peach caught up with Mario on the path. He grinned widely when he saw her and said, "Good morning, my love! How are you?" He held out his arm and Peach took it, smiling.

"Oh, I'm absolutely wonderful! Mario, you're so sweet to me. A balloon, chocolates... And those coupons were such a thoughtful idea! And all two weeks before Valentine's Day!" She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

He laughed and said as they entered the Dining Villa, "Anything for your, my love."

As she sat down in her usual place (right of Mario, left of Zelda, across from Nana), Peach noticed a small box on her plate. She looked over at Mario, who merely smiled and gestured for her to open it. She rolled her eyes and opened it. Zelda peered over her shoulder and sighed when Peach took out a CD case.

She flipped it over, heart beating like mad, and saw the title: Best Love Songs of All Time. A grin slowly grew larger and larger as she saw her favorite artists: 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston, 'Love Me Tender' by Elvis Presley, and 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion.

She squealed with delight and turned to Mario, and kissed him full on the mouth. "Mario, you are too good to me!" She said again, laughing, as she kissed him again.
