Disclaimer: I do not own Nintendo or SSBM or any of its characters. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this, now would I?
It's hard to call the characters in Melee "people" since most of the are animals and pokemon, so I just call them "smashers".
There is also some Zelink in here, so be warned.
Anyway, read!
P.S. Im not very good at writing Mario and Luigi's lines, so sorry if they look weird.
"Bowser, you have to leave!"
"I don't want to."
"Please?"
"No."
"You have to!"
"No I don't!
Smashers passing the Smash Manson's Courtyard could hear the sounds of Marth, Samus, Mario, and Peach's argument with Bowser echoing off the walls and alerting everyone a mile away that a fight was breaking out.
"But they will be here any minute now!" Peach said, glancing toward the mansion.
"We will owe you a big favor." Marth suggested.
Bowser crossed his arms. "No, no, NO! I like it here, and I'm not going to leave just because you want to get some lovebirds together. I'm not moving NO MATTER WHAT!"
Smashers out in the hall stopped and stared at the arguing figures, before running away, because bad things happened when Bowser got mad.
"But you can come back later! We just need it for today!" Peach complained.
"I have every right to be here, and NO ONE can kick me out. Got it?" Bowser roared.
"We can let you kidnap Peach for the rest of the day." Samus, who was sitting nearby on a bench, suggested.
Bowser smiled. "I might be up to that."
"NO! N-O! Samus don't say things like that!" Peach yelled at her friend, who was sitting there laughing. Marth went over and sat next to her.
"Come on Samus, that's not a very nice thing to do to poor Peach." He said. Samus just picked a flower from its stem, and twirled it between her fingers, as if she was thinking it over.
"Yeah, I guess your right." she said eventually, "Sorry Bowser." Marth put his arm around her shoulders, shaking his head in mock disapproval. Peach glared at Samus, and Mario just stood there and sighed.
"Well then, I'll just take her right now!" Bowser threatened. Peach stumbled backwards as Mario jumped in front of her.
"Don't even-a think about it." Mario threatened.
Bowser stomped his foot and fire blew out of his mouth. "Well then, I'll just stay here forever! You won't get this place until Peach comes with me!"
"I'll come with you when your room stops smelling like Crazy Hand's year old gloves!" Peach yelled at him before throwing a rather large turnip at him.
Chaos erupted after that. Peach and Bowser were yelling over courtyard rights, Samus was talking to Marth, who had his hand on his sword if a fight broke out, and Bowser was threatening Mario, who was trying to protect Peach. Things were about to get ugly when Mario said, "what if I-a fought you for it?"
"Whatsat?' Bowser asked, clearly interested.
"If you win the brawl, you can-a have Peach. If I Win, then we can kick you out whenever we want."
Bowser pretended to think it over, for he never turned down a fight from Mario, then snorted, "You are going DOWN little man!" Two smashers, apparently drawn by the sounds of fighting, walked into the hall then, but instead of leaving like everyone else, they stayed and watched.
Bowser stomped across the court yard, waited 5 seconds, and then yelled, "Well? You coming, or are you chickening out?"
"Mamma Mia." Mario whispered as he followed. When he passed by Peach he winked to her. She knew he was going to win, again. She smiled back at him, happy that she could use the courtyard, not worried at all that he might lose.
When She, Mario, and Luigi first arrived in smash mansion, everyone thought that she and Mario were a couple. The other smashers used to tease Peach about it, but they learned quickly enough not to do that, unless they wanted a frying pan to their face. But it was still very annoying.
After Bowser and Mario left, the two smashers came in. They were Roy and Luigi, which wasn't unusual for them to want to watch a fight. "What's up with Bowser? He is-a tromping around louder than usual." Luigi asked.
"Couldn't you hear us arguing? We were pretty loud." Marth asked.
"No, it was-a echoing all over the place. We couldn't hear properly." Luigi explain. "So what-a happened?"
"Mario just challenged him to a duel." Samus said. She placed the flower she had been playing with in Marth's hair, then laughed as he quickly pulled it back out, crushed it in his hand, and threw it at her. One of Samus's favorite things to do was to tease Marth. He, of course, didn't mind, as long as he got to spend time with her. But if anyone pointed that out, they would have to face the wrath of his blade.
Peach told Luigi about the fight, but he didn't seemed too worried. "Big Bro's going to-a win. There is no-a way he will lose. Oh, Bowser is going to be mad for days." He said with a smirk.
"Remember last time he lost when he smashed down some dorms," Roy said. "And Ganondork and Bowser had to sleep in the Dining Hall with the Pokemon! The Pokemon SO kicked their butts!"
"Never mind that!" Peach shouted over their laughter. "We have to go!" she turned them around and tried pushing them down the hall, with no success.
"What's going on?" Roy asked. Peach grinned over her shoulder at Samus and Marth, who held their thumbs up in response. She then turned back to a very confused Roy, who could almost see that her eyes were sparkling.
"We came up with a plan to get Zelda and Link together!" She squealed. Roy blinked, and then started laughing again.
"Do you think that's possible? They've been hiding the fact that they like each other for years!"
Samus shrugged "they haven't had the chance to be alone for a while now, so we set this up. I told Zelda to come meet me here and-"
"And I told Link to come here to train with me." Marth said. He was holding Samus back as she tried to dump mud on his head as the final stage of his 'makeover'.
"It's the perfect setup!" Peach said. She was jumping up and down like a four-year old. The perfect team.
Just then Fox, who they hired to be a lookout, ran in from the hall. "They're coming!" He said. Marth stood up, avoiding the shower of flowers Roy, who decided to join in Samus's fun, threw at him.
"Well I think it's time to RUN!" He said, smiling. Samus jumped up and grabbed his arm, pulling him down the hall. Everyone else ran behind them.
After about five minutes of everyone running, going down hallways and bumping into other smashers, Luigi said, "Lets-a go to the tournaments arena and watch big bro!"
Fox shrugged. "All right, I'm coming." He ran easily, with his hands in his pockets, and like he didn't have a problem in the world. He was the Smash Mansions best and fastest runner, he could run for miles and not get tired. However, everyone else was sweating and stopping to take a breath every few steps.
"We're coming too." Samus huffed out, pushing Marth down the hall, "What are you guys doing?" She asked Peach and Roy.
"I'm going to get some food, I am starving!" Peach said it was true, she had nothing to eat all day, since she had spent it working on her 'plan'. She turned toward Roy, hoping he would come with her.
When Peach and Roy first met, they could NOT get along with each other. Now they were best friends, along with Samus, Zelda, Marth, and Link. They were a big, inseparable group that caused a surprisingly amount of trouble, along with everyone else in the hugely popular Smash Mansion.
Roy saw the question in Peach's eyes and smiled apologetically. "Sorry Peach, I need to head back to my dorm, but I'll see you later!" Roy called as he turned and headed back toward the dorms.
Peach smiled. "Bye!" she called as she skipped over to the kitchen.
It was dark by the time Peach left the kitchen. Everyone had gone to watch the tournament so she had to make something for herself. She could still hear the cheers and taunts from the spectators, even from the other side of the Mansion. She had planned to go watch, but she was tired from today, and she wanted to get some sleep. Besides, she knew who was going to win. On the way to the dorms, she passed the courtyard. She heard voices so she stopped. She smiled; she could tell it was Zelda and Link.
They would make such a cute couple. She thought. Peach planned on sneaking around the entrance, but she saw someone crouched in the shadows, pointing something at Link and Zelda.
They're under attack! She sucked in some air to scream when she saw what was being pointed at them. It was a camera. And the person who was holding it had red, bushy hair. Only one person had hair like that. She stomped over to where the figure was hiding. He turned as she stood over him, stomping her foot and crossing her arms. He grinned at her sheepishly.
"Um… hi Peach! How's it going?" he whispered.
"ROY! What are you DOING?" She said. By pure luck Link and Zelda didn't hear her.
"I'm just… sitting here, recording Link… And stuff." He said uncertainly. That made her mad. She grabbed Roy by his forearm and dragged him to the dorms.
"Ow, OW! Man, you have a firm grip Peach! OW! Come on let go!" He complained. Peach ignored him. Roy knew he was in for it. When she let go he stumbled backwards, almost crashing into one of the dorms doors. Roy looked up and saw that Peach was red with anger.
"Now, WHAT were you THINKING? VIDEO TAPEING THEM!" She shouted at him.
"I ...just thought… that… I could use the film to embarrass Link." He had said the wrong thing.
"SO YOU WERE RECORDING SOMETHING PERSONAL AND PRIVATE TO THEM JUST TO PULL A PRANK!" She shouted at him. Roy was pretty scared by now. Peach's frying pan could seriously hurt someone. She had hit Captain Falcon with it once, and it took surgery to get his face the way it was before. Master Hand wasn't so happy with her then.
"I-it's not wh-what it looks like!" He stammered.
"IT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! I CAN'T BELEVE YOU! WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING AS LOW AS THAT?"
He didn't bother arguing anymore. Instead he cowered beneath her. Peach was past the point of anger.
"YOU HAVE CROSSED THE LINE ROY! YOU'RE LOWER THAN DIRT! YOUR WORSE THAN MADAME GREENE'S NEWEST 2010 SUMMER DRESS MODEL!
Roy winced at the shopping reference, he hated shopping and other girlish stuff. On the other hand, he was confused because he didn't know what the heck she was talking about. Madame Greene?
"YOU HAVE A TWISTED MIND! LIKE A VILLAN! BROWSER SEEMS LIKE A GENTLEMAN COMPARED TO YOU! I thought… I thought…" Peach's voice dropped to a whisper. Roy stared at her. It looked like she was going to cry.
"Well, I guess I was wrong." Peach glared at Roy. "Don't talk to me anymore. I don't want to be friends with you if you do things like this." Roy was shocked. She started to leave. She had never gotten this mad at one of his pranks before.
"Peach, wait-" He called, but she was already gone.
Peach sat on her bed, hugging her knees for support. She was wearing her favorite pajamas, the ones with little Mario's on them, because she had wanted to get some sleep, and for some comfort, but she couldn't fall asleep. She was too depressed.
Why would he do such a thing? Why would he embarrass someone by doing that? I KNOW that he likes to prank people, but that was just cruel. I never imagined him hurting people like that. Maybe I was wrong about him.
She heard giggles from outside her dorm, and knew that the other 2 people sharing this room with her must be coming back. The door opened and her two best friends Zelda and Samus came in, laughing about something.
"I can't believe that he finally told you! We have to tell- oh Peach, there you are!" Samus said, seeing Peach on her bed. "I thought that you would still be at the dinning hall. Anyway, Zelda has something to tell you!"
Zelda smiled at Peach. "I met Link at the courtyard. Samus said that she would meet me there, but she forgot, and I forgive you for, about, the 48th time." she looked at Samus.
"Thanks Zelda, I'm sorry."
"It is fine. Your apology is accepted. Anyway Link and I started talking, it was nice to talk to him again, and it was just us. Suddenly he told me he loves me, and I told him that I loved him too! I am so happy that my feelings were returned."
Peach glanced at her. "That's great Zelda! I'm very happy for you!" she smiled weakly, only looking up when someone spoke to her.
Samus noticed. "Is there something wrong?" she asked.
Peach shook her head. "Nothings wrong, I'm just a little tired. That is all."
Samus nodded. "Okay. I'm going to take a shower first, if that's alright with you Zelda."
Zelda nodded and Samus left. When the sound of running water could be heard, Zelda sat next to Peach.
"Thank you." She said. Peach stared at her.
"What for?"
Zelda smiled. "Did it just happen to be coincidence that Link and I happened to be at the courtyard at the same time, or that Samus, who usually will not forget about a friend, forgot to meet me, or that Marth, who promised to train with Link, was hanging out with Samus?"
"Um…."
"And is it also a coincidence that Bowser and Mario were fighting while we were there? Oh, and Mario won."
"Well, th-that's great…"
"And Lastly, Is the fact that there were burn marks and turnips in there happen to do with everything?"
"H-how did you-"
"So I just wanted to say thanks." Silence.
"So, what happened?" Peach managed to ask, after a long pause.
Zelda's face turned red. "H-he kissed me."
Peach smiled. "Well it's about time! A man should not keep a lady waiting!" They both laughed. Then it got quiet again.
Zelda frowned. "Peach, can you tell me what is wrong?"
Peach stared at the floor. "There's nothing wrong-"
"Do not lie to me." She scowled at Peach.
That is why Zelda was her best friend. Besides her being a princess also, so she knows that hardships of running a kingdom, Zelda also understands her, and knows when Peach is feeling bad. Like now. She is the smartest and the wisest person in the mansion and had and incredible memory, but she was also kind, and sweet, and the most loyal friend ever. She is also the only one who doesn't flinch when Peach makes shopping plans.
"Can you tell me what is wrong?" Zelda asked.
Peach shook her head. "I need some time to think about it. Maybe another time."
"All right. I understand. But please remember that you can tell me anything." Peach nodded, and Zelda hugged her. When Zelda left, Peach went under the covers of her bed, and thought about the incident with Roy.
If he were to do show everyone that, it would not only hurt Links' feelings, but it would hurt Zelda's as well. What was he planning to do? It isn't like him to do that. But then, it wasn't like him to watch them in the first place. How could he…
After a long, sleepless night, she decided to avoid him as much as possible until she could figure this out.
How could I have been such an idiot?
During this, Roy was sitting on his bed, twirling the video tape between his hands.
How could she DO that to me? It wasn't anything bad. I was just going to use it to get revenge on Link for the whole snowman incident! But wait... she might not remember that...
He got really angry then. Not at Peach, but at himself. He threw the tape in the trash. It wasn't worth it anymore.
I should have said something then, but instead I just cowered like an idiot. I'll have to go apologize now.
He got up to leave, but the clock said that it was 10:13 p.m. Peach would be sleeping by now.
I'll have to apologize tomorrow. I hope she isn't TOO mad at me.
He sat on his bed and wondered.
WHY did I have to film that? She's probably thinking I'm going to show this in front of everyone! I wouldn't do that! She should know me better than that! We are friends after all. But it's not her fault, Well, not entirely. It's my fault. I shouldn't have thought of the idea in the first place! I feel sick right now.
He stayed in his bed for about half and hour, until Link and Marth came in, talking about something.
"Hey Roy, guess what!" Marth said, smirking. "Link here finally gave in and told Zelda that he likes her. It took him long enough! Woman don't have much patience for a guy that doesn't talk much!"
Link blushed. "I didn't think she liked me back. I was scared that I would make a fool out of myself."
"So the Hero of time, wielder of the Triforce of Courage Is scared to tell a woman he's known for years that he likes her? That's pathetic."
"Stop it! She's the Princess of Hyrule, so she can be scary sometimes."
"I will tell her you said that."
"NO! It's just that, if she didn't like me, I was afraid that are relationship wouldn't be the same."
like us. Roy thought miserably.
"I understand."
"Really?"
"Yes. It's like that with Samus." Marth laughed. "Quite frankly, she scares me too. She could knock me out with one punch!"
Link and Marth laughed.
"Sorry for giving you a hard time Link. I guess I'm just frightened by my own love life."
Link laughed. "Apology accepted."
Roy just stared at the floor.
Link and Marth stared at him. Normally Roy would have pranked them, or something! At the very least he would have joked with them about it, but he did nothing. In fact, he wasn't looking so good…
"Roy?" Link said.
"Sorry, I was thinking." Roy said. "I'm very happy for you, man. Really. I'm going to get some sleep." and he lay down in his bed. Link and Marth looked at each other; this was NOT like Roy at all. There had to be something wrong. But he clearly wasn't going to talk to him.
Roy stayed up late that night, finally falling to sleep. But all night he was thinking-
How could I have been such an idiot?
The next day Roy got up at 8 O'clock sharp. Marth and Link KNEW that something was going on now! Roy never got up before 10.
Roy had hoped to talk to Peach early, but he didn't see her until after lunch, when she was heading to the dorms.
"Peach, wait!" he called out. She turned around, but when she saw him her eyes widened. And then she ran away.
"No Peach! Wait!" He ran after her, but she could run faster than him, he didn't eat so much that day and he was tired.
"Peach! I just want to- to-"
She knelt down and pulled a turnip out of the ground, throwing it at Roy and hitting him square in the head and knocking him to the ground.
"OW!" He yelled. He tried to run after her, but she was gone. Again.
The next few days were just like that one. Whenever Roy tried to talk to Peach she would run away. She didn't throw anymore turnips at him, Smashers usually got in his way. The only time they were in the same room together was during meals. But if he tried to approach her, she would ether leave, or list all of the items she had recently bought while shopping. There was nothing Roy hated more than girls shopping habits.
I'm so pathetic. He thought whenever this happened.
This had happened on this day, three days after he tried to video tape Link and Zelda. Roy sat at the table sulking, when a crowd grabbed him, Marth, and Link, who happened to be sitting near him. He found himself sitting at another table farther away, with almost every male Smasher surrounding them.
"All right, we got everyone together." Fox said. "You're going to tell us exactly what's going on here…."
"...Link! I heard that you FINALLY hooked up with Zelda."
"Well, I did." Link said, blushing. "I told her a few days ago, and thankfully, she likes me back."
Mario rolled his eyes. "I-a told you Link. You should have-a listened to me sooner."
Mario was Link's best friend, so he knew that Link had liked Zelda before he came to the Smash Mansion. Everyone else only knew that he liked her for the past few years.
Roy wasn't paying much attention anymore. He was thinking of something else.
"So," Falco said. "What is it you like about her?"
"Well it's difficult to say…"
"Just try"
Roy listened to what Link was saying. He was also thinking of Peach.
"Well, she's a Princess, and she's also my best friend,"
Princess, best friend.
"She also insanely hot." Captain Falcon said.
"Yes, But that's not only what I like about her." Link said. "She understands me, and can cheer me up when I'm down. And I have known her for a while now."
Understands me, can cheer me up.
Roy was paying full attention now.
"She's always been there for me, supported me through my hardest times, and I really like her." Link turned red.
"Dude, how long did you wait to tell her?" Falco said.
A huge conversation had started, but Roy wasn't paying attention at all. HE was thinking about someone, someone who has done the same things for him.
Wait…does this mean….. It can't….
The group of girls was left staring at the mass of Smashers that had raided their table and stole their friends, and a big portion of their food.
"What are they doing?" Samus asked Zelda, since Zelda could hear better than anyone at their table. She tilted her head and her ear twitched, which showed that she was listening to their conversation.
"I think they are discussing me." She said, and a few minutes later she turned three shades of red.
Samus sighed. "I bet they are stealing all of my questions! I didn't think they were interested in this stuff."
Zelda fake gasped. "Are you saying that YOU do not want to here this?"
Samus smiled. "I wasn't saying that. Do tell!"
Zelda sighed. As soon as Samus had found out that she told Link she loved him, and that he loved her as well, she new that Samus was going to bother her to the end of the earth until she told exactly what she liked about her hero. She looked across the table to make sure Peach was listening.
"Fine, I will."
Peach was just a curious as Samus, so she listened to what Zelda was saying.
"He has been there for me for a long time, and he makes me laugh,"
Without realizing it, she started thinking of Roy.
Roy used to make me laugh very easily. And he has been there for me.
"He's saved me many times, and he listens to me."
Roy listens to me, but he has never saved me. Well... not from Bowser, but he has helped me get through my years in the mansion...
"He comforts me when I am feeling bad, and takes care of me when I am sick."
Roy could always make me laugh when I was sick, or when I was upset. But not now.
"And I love him." Zelda said, and Samus hugged her.
And I…wait….huh?
A few hours later Roy was sitting in his room, because Bowser was in a rampage. When Bowser was in a rampage, you ran into your dorm and locked the door. Apparently Bowser lost the rematch that he called with Mario a few days ago, and there was another one tonight. A re-rematch. Today he was sulking outside the courtyard. In this hallway; part of the ceiling was sported by pillars. Bowser was known to punch these pillars when on a rampage, causing them to crack and for pieces to fall off. Marth had been in the room with Roy earlier, but had left to find out if anyone got injured, leaving an insanely bored Roy in his room, last week their TV broke, and he was not one to read books.
When the roars began to quiet down, Roy opened the door only to find Marth struggling with the dorm key, and Link behind him.
"I can never get that key to work. It frustrates me!" Marth complained.
Link laughed. "You should have let me do it!"
"Yes, because you are the expert on keys."
"I had to unlock a LOT of doors in temples."
"Hey, stop it kids. What was going on with Mr. Grumpy?" Roy asked while using the opportunity to push Marth over.
"Well it seems that Bowser saw some kids in the courtyard, and seeing how he isn't allowed in there until after the fight, because of the bet, he got upset." Link said. He rushed into to room while Marth got up slowly, complaining about his choice of friends. Link knew all about the bet, yet he didn't know it involved him and Zelda in any way.
"He seemed to have calmed down some, but I'd keep the door locked just in case."
Roy made sure the door was locked, before sitting on his bed. "You said there were kids there, what happened?"
"Well," Link said "Apparently, as soon as Bowser started roaring they all wanted to run away, but something bad might had happened to them. Peach, who was there, managed to keep everyone in the courtyard. So far no one has been hurt."
"Peach was there? Is she still there now?"
"I heard that she was. Why do you want to know?" Marth asked.
Roy shrugged. "Just wondering. I think I'll go check it out."
Marth looked puzzlingly at Roy. "All right. Don't forget that the rematch is starting in 2 hours. I'm going to send Fox for you if you're late."
"Fine with me." Roy called as he left.
Marth got up. "I call bathroom first." He left without giving Link a chance to answer.
Link sighed, he wanted to spend some time with Zelda, but she was probably reading a book in her room. He actually KNEW that she was reading a book. She loved books. In fact, he found a new book in town yesterday that he planned to give her, if only he could remember where he put it…
Link started by searching Roy's desk. You could always find stuff there. He digged through what seemed like a dumpster for a while. He was about to look somewhere else when something in the trash caught his attention. He pulled a video tape out.
What's this?
When Roy entered the hall, he made sure Bowser was gone. He could, of course, beat him, but he would rather not get hurt. He also didn't want to be distracted. He was going to talk to Peach, no matter what.
It's weird, I never had this much trouble with any one else. I guess I don't like losing friends like this…
He looked around to find a pillar that wouldn't drop stuff one him.
Bowser must have been pretty mad. Some pillars are missing huge pieces. One has a crack all through it.
He finally found one that was wasn't bending at a dangerous angle and sat right beneath it.
I'm going to sit here and wait if it takes me all day.
I'm going to end it here because I am mean. This originally was going to be a one-shot, but it got too long, so I broke it into two parts.
So, yeah, I'm a Zelink supporter. I love legend of zelda. There is going to be more Zelink in the next chapter, but only a bit. There are also some SamusxMarth hints, but this is mostly going to be focused on Peach and Roy. ;)
Its very hard to write Mario's and Luigi's lines, so tell me if I messed up, but tell me nicely.
Madame Greene's newest 2010 summer dress model must be very bad for Peach to insult it that much (Peach is a big shopper, in case you didn't notice) AND I came up with the name "Madame Greene", so if it is your name, please don't be insulted.
This is basically my first REAL story, so be nice! No flames! All flames will be used to keep me warm and roost marshmallows with!
I want pajamas 's like Peach's, ones with little Mario's on them :3
