A/N FINALLY chapter 2! It's not like anyone was actually looking forward to it, but here it is 3 months later. I kinda lost(got lazy) inspiration after writing the first chapter, but I hope to write the 3rd chapter soon after this one. It's kinda short, but tada ^-^
NEXT DAY
Marth grumbled under his breath as he walked down the halls of the Smash Mansion with Ike's laptop in his hand. His gloved hand might I add, Marth didn't dare touch it with his delicate (rather girly) hands. Marth had been kicking himself all day for making that stupid bet with Ike. He never intended to make any bet of sorts to get him out of his room. He only intended to trick him into getting out by himself, though that brilliant plan failed since Ike had to be stupid. Yes, that's what he was. Now poor Marth had to use Ike's stupid contraption for an entire week. How long he doesn't know since he forgot to specify in his fit, but non the less it would be excruciating. He didn't even know how to turn the damn thing on or how to open it. He would back out of it if he could but he already swore it to his mother's grave he'd use that thing for a week. It was serious business for someone of royal blood to say it. He could just picture in his head his sweet mother giving him a good beating for what he had done.
He sighed and kept walking. Where he was walking, he didn't know either. He was just hoping for a strike of luck that someone, anyone would put him out of his misery. Or perhaps a good tutor to tell him how exactly to use the magic box. But who did he know that was skilled in magic... Marth snapped his fingers in enlightenment "I know just the person!"

The Hylian princess Zelda jumped out of her chair and almost threw her book in*startled by the sudden knock on her door. Zelda was in her reading zone. No one bothered Zelda in her reading zone, when she was anyone near her ended up burned by Din's fire. Zelda composed herself setting the book on the small table besides the chair and rushed to open the door for her visitor.
"H-hello" said a flustered Marth, still catching his breath and leaning against the door frame for support. Zelda took the sight in confusion, wondering what the prince was so flustered about.
"Hello Marth... Is something wrong?" she asked. Marth was still catching his breath and took a moment until he could speak.
"I need help.. with magic... made a stupid bet... now I need to use a magic contraption... swore it on my mothers grave."
Zelda gasped. For someone of royal blood to swear something upon anyone's grave was extremely serious. This must have been a deal of great importance he made. Zelda could relate, being also of a royal descent. She ushered Marth in her room eager to assist him with his issue.
Marth entered the room and sank gratefully into one of her soft chairs while Zelda brought him a glass of water. Marth chugged it down and after letting it all settle for a while, he composed himself enough to speak properly.
"May you please tell me more about this grave matter of yours?" Zelda asked seriously. Marth shew her the thin laptop in his gloved hand to observe and she looked at it in wonder.
"My what an item. I've never read of any contraption such as this in the ancient magic Hylian Texts."
"Yes, me either. I was hoping that you, with your magic expertise, could show me how to wield it? You are the only one who can help."
Zelda took the laptop delicately with her gloved hands and began to observe the outside
of the contraption. She flipped it over and began to examine the tag glued on to the back of the laptop. Marth watched the princess carefully. Zelda's eyes lit up and she flipped it back over. "Well, I have some ideas to activate it. It seems it has some kind of an activation code on the back. I just have to find the right spell to go along with the code to activate it."
"That...is... BRILLIANT! How didn't I think of this before it's so elementary now that you say it!" Said Marth happily. Zelda smiled. "So now the problem is just which spell do we use?"
"Well, there are a variety of magic we can try. There are electric current magic, water magic, fire magic, blue jelly glob potion, red potion, it can go on and on."
"Hmm... why don't we try a red potion first? It does have positive healing and restoration properties, so it can't hurt to try it first. Just to see if liquid can activate it. Actually now that I recall, I did see Ike with red potions when he used it."
"Sounds like a plan." said Zelda. She stood and walked over to a cabinet at the back of her room an opened it to reveal shelves packed with potions. "Link is sometimes too busy or forgets to take potions with him, so I keep a small amount here for him in case of emergencies" she explained. Zelda took a red potion off a shelf and walked back to Marth. She opened the potion and took the laptop back. She then motioned for Marth to move away before outstretching her arm to keep the laptop a distance from her.
"This is the tricky part. Whatever happens, we must stay calm." Marth gulped and backed up a bit more. Zelda carefully tipped the potion over the laptop and waited a few seconds before the laptop made a loud electrical sound. Zelda shrieked and dropped it to the floor as it gave off electrical currents. "Wrong code... WRONG CODE!"
As if on cue Link knocked her door down like a true hero and looked around the room with sword in hand poised to attack. "ZELDA! What is it who did it?!" Link's eyes then fell upon the short circuit, malfunctioning twitching laptop on the ground. Link winced. It was his arch enemy, besides Gannondorf. Technology. He had a score to settle with that dastardly thing. "That THING again! I had enough of them already in the Lanyaru desert! Back away Zelda it's highly dangerous!" Link charged at the laptop ready to smash it just when Marth jumped in front of it to protect it.
Poor Marth. We can imagine how that ended up.
