Chapter 1: Rain and a Smiley Pancake
The wet rain was falling down in sheets from the dark gray sky above. Four boys- Link, Ike, Roy, and Marth were walking impatiently down the stone path. Their destination was about another quarter mile ahead. The rain fell cold on their cloaked bodies, pelting them as if they were a bull's eye target. The ignored the situation and continued.
Once inside, the four boys patiently waited to be seated. To start the day they had ventured to a nearby diner. The four boys slid into a booth folding down the hood of their capes. They all managed to deal with the uncomfortable wet feeling.
"Lovely day so far…" Marth broke the silence. No one seemed interested in his comment. Moments went by until an out of breath waitress greeted the booth.
*huff* "Morning boys, can I getchya' anything to drink?" The woman tried to sound sweet.
"I'll have coffee, lightly sweetened with half n' half." Marth replied.
"I'll have orange juice." Said Link.
"Coffee will do me…black thank-you." Ike added.
"Apple juice with a swirly straw please!" Roy beamed.
"That all for now?" The lady frantically jotting down the orders.
Link nodded and the lady ran off.
"Roy…really? A swirly straw? "Marth asked in disbelief.
"Hey, I look forward to these things!"
"Yeah Marth! Silly…you know! Like how we used to look forward to ice cream form the ice cream man!" Ike said sarcastically.
"Yeah! Ha- wait, wah?"
Marth and Ike started laughing. The red haired boy straightened up and felt his cheeks flush.
"Aw, is Roy getting' embarrassed?" Ike teased.
"No…" He lied.
"Aw don't worry…I'm sure when we get home blankey will come to your rescue!" Marth added. The boys broke out into laughter once again.
"You guys are so immature." Link mumbled.
"Hey what's with you today? You've been grumpy ever since we met up!" Marth questioned. Roy elbowed him.
"What the Hel-"He was cut off. Roy stared at him…suddenly it hit the light blue haired prince.
"Oh, Link I…" His voice trailed off. Link turned his head away and angled it down. His younger brother recently disappeared. With that, his other younger sibling had left. That left young mercenary always empty feeling and uninterested in anything.
At that instance, the teens soon found themselves sitting in silence once again. Minutes crept by, then the frantic women came back with the refreshments. She handed off the drinks to the boys, nearly dropping them in the process.
"Are you guys all set to order?" She said dropping her notepad.
"Um, have you guys decided yet?" Marth spoke up.
"Yeah, Roy?" He nodded.
"Alright, um…I'll take the breakfast special. Two fried eggs over easy with American and Swiss cheese with sausage on the side." Ike said in a somewhat happy tone.
"Alright…whole wheat or white bread?" The woman asked.
"Err, white please"
"Okay, and for you, sir?" She looked over to Marth.
"I'll have the banana and strawberry crepe with raspberry sauce, please." He said handing his menu to the waitress.
"Mhm, and you?" The turned to the fire red haired boy while juggling the menu Marth had handed her.
"I'll have the smiley face pancake with extra whipped cream, please." Roy added proudly. Ike couldn't resist but to let out a chuckle. Marth soon joined in. While the lady finished writing the orders the two blue haired teens found it hard to fight the laughter.
"Alright, the orders should be out-"She paused suddenly turning to face the golden haired boy who was quietly sitting next to the chuckling boy.
"And you?" She asked.
"Oh, um, I'm not hungry thanks." Link replied.
"Link you have to eat something…you're going to become week." Marth said sympathetically.
"No I'm fine." Link said insisted.
"Link, at least a little something." Ike nudged him.
"No. I'm fine!" Link hissed. The waitress began to tap her foot impatiently. Being the waitress she had to ask,
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Alright, you're orders will be out shortly." She nodded, grabbed the extra menus and turned walking swiftly back to the kitchen.
"Man…I know it's hard with your brother and sister and all," Ike began. "But you still have to care for yourself." He tried to help his depressed friend.
"Yeah, you can't just abandon yourself." Marth pitched in.
"You won't get anywhere if you keep this attitude up." Roy said with a bit of worry in his voice.
Link grunted. His glare stayed put, he didn't want to look at them and give in.
They don't know what it feels like. I know, this whole not eating and not taking an interest in anything isn't helping but I can't help it. I feel trapped. Link thought.
"What's on your mind bud?" Ike asked curiously.
He blinked and slowly looked up to his friend. He didn't quite know how to respond.
"Anyway," Roy didn't like the silence. He felt tense and thought changing the subject would help.
"How was your mini camping trip?" He asked Ike in a cheery tone.
"Oh it was, uh, relaxing." He paused. "It's nice to be alone sometimes you know?" He finished.
Link twitched a bit, but no one seemed to notice. He hated being alone…well after they disappeared.
"You know...did stuff."He added.
"Oh, so you did stuff." Marth joked.
"Marth, you're so perverted." Ike rolled his eyes.
"Hey! You should talk Mr.!" He argued.
"I agree with Marth, in both comments." Roy grinned. Ike furrowed his brow and frowned.
"At least- well-…" He sighed. "I got nuthin'" He said defeated.
"Wow the first time you actually don't have a comeback…" Marth smirked.
"Oh shut-up. It's early and I'm hungry." Ike waved him off.
So the three of them talked and joked around. They tried to get Link involved. He was stubborn but slowly gave in…adding small comments to whatever the conversation was.
"My stomach is eating me. Where is my pancake?" Roy demanded.
"Wow you really are a two year old." Marth chuckled. Link couldn't help but to smile. He took a sip of his juice. He opened his mouth to finally say something but once again the frantic waitress came back with plates of food.
"Sorry for the wait guys." She began placing the food on the table. "Anything else?" She asked.
"Um, Link are you sure you don't want anything?" Marth sweetly asked.
"Hmm, on second thought I'll have a fruit salad." Link looked up.
"That'll be it?"
"Yes thank-you." Link smiled. She blushed a little, nodded and walked into the kitchen.
"I think she's fallin' for yuh." Ike smiled tauntingly.
"…She's our waitress." Link said sternly. His blank expression came back. A moment of silence swept over the table.
"I'll be right back." Roy said getting up. He walked out of sight and Marth and Ike scrambled around messing with the boys' food. A moment later the boy returned. He sat down and went to take a bite of his pancake when he noticed…
"OH MY GOD!" His face expression changed dramatically. "YOU LITTLE-"Link hadn't paid attention to what the two teens did when Roy left. He looked down to see they re-arranged the whipped cream smile on the pancake into an evil laughing face. Link put his hand on his head and began laughing. Roy was blowing up in a fume…which was really unnecessary.
"Roy, y-you" Ike began trying to catch his breath. "you can't really be upset about this r-right?"
"That's ridiculous." Marth managed to choke out.
"I waited SO long for this!"The upset boy yelled. Ike and Marth were very amused by this. They kept on laughing and making comments.
"You guys are so mean." He pouted.
Finally all had calmed down and the boys ate quietly. Link observed how Roy smeared the whipped cream around the face of the pancake.
"How come you make a big fuss over them making a different face when all you do is ruin it anyway?" Link said with a hint of frustration in his voice. The boy stopped chewing and looked at his food for a few moments. Finally he shrugged and continued.
Ike poured ketchup all over his plate and dipped the sandwich in it each bit.
"That's so gross. How could you ruin a perfectly good egg sandwich with ketchup?" Marth asked.
"Ruin? It only makes it better!" Ike replied.
"That's disturbing." Marth muttered.
"Shut-up and eat you're banana crap pretty boy." Ike said plainly.
"Crepe." He corrected.
The waitress returned and plopped the bowl of fruit in front of Link.
"There you go. How's everything gentlemen." She had calmed down a bit.
"Fine thanks."
"Great!"
"They ruined the smile!"
All of them turned and stared at the boy with red hair. He blushed.
"Very good thank-you." He said quietly.
"Alright." With that she walked away.
Link stared blankly at his fruit. He lost his appetite with his mind on other things.
"Aren't you going to eat it?" Ike asked kind of confused.
Link didn't respond.
"Link, seriously. Just-"Marth was cut off.
"No."
"What? Link…" Roy started.
"What's on your mind" Ike barged in. He sounded annoyed at this point.
"We are going to save my brother." Link stated firmly.
Ok, I know. Not great. But hey! It's my first and it's an opening chapter. It will get better I promise! Review and critique me!
