I own nothing. I only own the plot and a laptop to type this.

My third contest! Yay! *five second epic party* Anyway, the contest I'm entering is SuperSmashGirlBB's Bittersweet Contest! I think that story will be about four chapters long.

Sorry for not updating TMEO. I have come up with new ideas for the story. I will update it sometime during or after this story. Well, enjoy!

o.o.o.o

Lightning flashes and thunder booms. The rain falls down to Earth fast and hard. The moon is concealed by the dark grey clouds.

The Smashers are inside, either sleeping or watching TV.

Well, almost every Smasher. Every Smasher except me.

Plip, plop, plip, plop.

This is the sound my shoes make as I walk through the garden. I adjust my raincoat slightly. My blond hair is drenched, water dripping from some parts. The icy cold rain and wind whips me, making me shiver. I finally reach my destination: the sunflower section of the garden.

The sunflowers are wet. Some of them were blown away by the wind and rain.

I stare down at one sunflower, taking in its features. It's soft, currently wet, and yellow petals are all in place. The stem is rooted into the ground, causing the sunflower to stand up proudly. The beautiful green, large leaves grow from the stem.

I feel tears appear in my baby blue eyes as I stare at the beautiful sunflower. It reminds me so much of Mommy… How I wish she was here right now to comfort me. After Mommy had… p-passed away, I had relied on Claus, my twin brother. But, he's gone, too…

The tears start to fall down my wet cheeks.

Another lightning bolt flashes and thunder booms loudly.

I wipe away the tears from my eyes. I should go back inside…

"I miss you, Mommy," I whisper to the sunflower. I turn and walk back to the Smash Mansion.

What greets me is my usual welcoming.

"Look, the clone is back," I hear one of the Smashers whisper. I don't bother looking to see who it is.

"He must've been crying again," I hear another Smasher whisper to the first.

"What a wuss," the first Smasher whispers.

The two Smashers laugh.

As I continue walking, I hear more insults thrown at me.

"Retarded freak!"

"Pathetic wuss!"

"Idiotic clone!"

I speed the pace of my walking, trying my best to ignore the insults.

Someone throws a shoe at me.

The shoe hits me in the side of the head.

I hear loud laughter.

But, I hear one comment that strikes me hard.

"Why don't you just die? Nobody likes you anyway!" I hear Ganondorf shout.

I feel something inside me shatter. Maybe it was my little confidence, or even my heart. Whatever it was, it hurt me hard. People want me dead? I change my course and run as fast as I can, not aware to where my legs are taking me. I feel the tears in my eyes again.

Many thoughts run through my mind. Why am I hated so much? Is it because I'm weak? Does… does Ness want me dead, too?

Ness. Ness is my best friend. He was so kind to me when I first arrived here. He knows the Smashers bully me and he usually stands up for me.

Usually being the key word.

Maybe… maybe Ness pities me. And that's why he protects me.

I find myself in an old, dark storage room. I shut the door behind me and look around.

There are piles of boxes everywhere, each one labeled. Some have bombs; others have food, and so on.

One particular item catches my eyes.

Lying on the floor, a few feet away from me, is a sharp knife.

I slowly walk over to the knife, pick it up by the handle, and examine it.

The knife looks like it was recently polished, but never used for offense or defense.

A thought comes to my mind. Maybe this was fated. I was led here to die. Now, I know why I was led here and noticed this knife.

I close my eyes, point the knife to my chest where my heart is, and whisper, "Claus, Mommy, I will finally see you again…" My grip on the knife becomes weak. I'm scared. But, if it is fated, then it must be done.

Before I can plunge the knife into my heart, someone yanks the knife out of my hand, throws it to the side, and pulls me into a hug.

o.o.o.o

And cut! Wow, that took me a while. But, I have this whole story planned out, so don't worry!

I will be updating TMEO after this is published. The next chapter might come today or tomorrow.

Until next time!
