Hey guys! PtPeach here again (uh)!
I made a few changes to the Marios. If I had left them as they were, with Mario that old and Luigi that old and they were starving like they had no place to go, it wouldn't have been right. SO I killed off one character in my story. cries I DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT! THE STORYLINE FORCED ME TO! Enough drama. So Ness makes his cameo in this chapter. Marth and Roy fangirls, you get Marth and Roy in this chapter. I also introduce in this chapter, Mayor (I changed Sheriff Captain Falcon to Mayor Captain Falcon) Captain Falcon and his beautiful wife, ex-princess of Brinstar, Samus Aran! I'll focus more on the Hyrules, the Refuge, and Ness in the next chapter. Don't expect the president and his children for at least 2 more chapters. And I don't know when to expect the pokemon. I have to fit them in somewhere. This chapter is longer than my first chapter. Almost a full 7 pages. I HAVE TO UPDATE MY FIRST FANFIC BEFORE I UPDATE THIS AGAIN.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Super Smash Bros. Melee or any part of Nintendo. Now beat it.
The Park
Marth and Roy Altea walked into Town Park.
"I can't believe we ended up HERE." said the red haired 16 year-old ex-prince, Roy. "This place is the dumps."
Roy looked around. There was trash piled in one corner. The children were playing joyfully and the women were chatting.
"These people look poor." Said Roy's 14 year-old brother, Marth
Marth and Roy were ex-princes, who had been forced from their kingdom after it had been overthrown. Their parents were killed and they had been kicked out of their kingdom. This news had spread and Captain Falcon, the mayor of the little town they were in, invited them to their small town.
"Mayor Captain Falcon was supposed to meet us here." said an impatient Roy. "I'm getting tired from all this standing."
Just as Roy finished saying that, Mayor Captain Falcon same up, arm and arm with his lovely wife, Samus Aran. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was once the princess of a place called Brinstar, but she gave it all up to marry the man of her dreams, Captain Falcon.
"Welcome to our small town!" said Captain Falcon. "I hope you have a wonderful stay here. I have a little place for you two on the side of my home. Lord knows it's not what you two are accustomed, too, but it'll have to do. Oh! This is my lovely wife, Samus."
"How do you do?" she asked as she put on a smile for the two teenagers. "Don't worry, you'll get used to t. I did!"
"What do you mean?" asked a curious Marth.
"Well, I am the former princess of Brinstar." said Samus, her blue eyes twinkling. "I left that life of endless luxury for my husband, as I could not marry him as a princess. My mother and father-"
Samus was suddenly cut off by Roy. His eyes were full of fury.
"YOUR mother and father, the Queen and King of Brinstar, just invaded our kingdom of Altea, killed our parents, and KICKED US OUT OF OUR OWN COUNTRY!"
"So THAT'S why she knows what it's like!" said Marth, who hadn't even paid attention to Roy's last statement.
"There's no reason to dislike me for it." said Samus. "There's also another reason I life: my parents were tyrant rulers. The entire royal family, including myself, was hated. Had our parents been killed, we would've also been executed."
"Thank you for that explanation." said Roy. "Otherwise, we wouldn't have been staying with you at all."
"Why not?" asked Marth.
"Because she might've been our enemy." said Roy.
"How?" asked Marth.
"Were you listening to the conversation?" asked Roy.
"Nooooo..." said Marth.
"Shut up!" spat Roy.
With a hand gesture from Captain Falcon, the two ex-princes walked behind the mayor and his wife, not knowing how hard life for civilians was.
At the Hyrule's
Zelda woke up, feeling quite hungry. She heard no heavy footsteps around the house, which meant her father was not awake. Young Link was asleep, holding onto Zelda's arm. She loved her little brother. He always tried to be there for her. She kissed him on his head and gently loosened his grip on her arm. Then she made her way into her big brothers room.
To her surprise, he was sitting straight up in his bed.
"How are you doing, Link?" she asked as her big brother as she hugged him.
"I'm okay." said Link, kissing his younger sister on her head. "I went out last night."
"Oh...where to?" asked Zelda.
"The park." said Link. "There was this girl there."
"Oh really?" said Zelda, smiling. "Who is this mysterious girl you speak of?" Zelda laughed.
"Her name is Peach. She's the doc's daughter." said Link. Then he paused. "She was starving."
"How is that?" asked a curious Zelda.
"Seems like the Doc has been drinking up all the money at the pub." said Link, sighing.
"Poor her." said Zelda. "Seems like were going through the same thing. But Link, you can't forget about yourself for her."
"I know that, Zellie." said Link. "We formed a little place to meet. The place is actually the park. She wants to meet you and Young Link. She's the same age as you, Zellie."
"That's wonderful!" said Zelda, smiling widely.
"So you have a girlfriend?" said Young Link. He had been standing outside the door the entire time.
"No!" said Link, blushing a bit. "When did you wake up?"
"I've been up long enough to hear...the whole conversation." Young Link smirked.
"You weren't asleep?" asked Zelda.
"Nope!" said Young Link. "Dad's still sleep."
"You should go swipe yourself some food, Zellie." said Link.
So Zelda made her way to the kitchen to something before the vicious-and-dangerous-by-nature father of hers woke up.
I wish mom was here, thought Zelda as she ate.
The Mario Household
Mario Mario and Luigi Mario sat up in their beds. The sun was shining beautifully through their bedroom window. It seemed as if nothing could go wrong that beautiful Saturday afternoon.
Then it dawned on Mario what had happened yesterday.
"I got a problem to speak of with that father of ours." said Mario.
"Wait!" shouted Luigi. "I'm coming with you."
The two brothers walked downstairs. They heard their father yelling.
"WHERE IS ALL THE FOOD?" yelled Dr. Mario.
"I told you that there was none." they heard Peach calmly say. They wondered how she could be so calm after how she was yesterday.
"I gave you money to go to market." their father said. "How come you never went?"
"You never gave me the money." explained Peach. "You were drunk every time I asked. I searched you, because you always fell asleep shortly after you got home, drunk. You had nothing. You let the kitchen go empty."
"You-" Dr. Mario stopped as Mario and Luigi entered the sitting room.
"What's going on?" Mario said, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Peach is saying that the kitchen was empty when you two went out of town." Dr. Mario stated. "She's saying that I said I'd give her money to fill up the kitchen pantries."
"Well, it's obvious that you don't remember, from all of the liquor." started Mario. "When you left the kitchen WAS empty."
"And you did tell Peach you would give her money for market." said Luigi. "She ate nothing for two days."
Suddenly, the room went quiet. The three teens were staring at their father.
Then, as if out of shock, Dr. Mario fell over dead.
"Father!" the three teenagers cried. They dashed to the floor.
"He's...dead." Luigi said as tears started to fall to the floor.
"He died of shock." Mario finally said, breaking the long, cold and terrible silence. Luigi could see that Mario, too, on the verge of tears.
"Peach," said Mario. "Go report fathers death to the mayor."
Peach left her father's cold chest, her eyes still full of tears. As she was walking, she saw a little boy selling homemade toys on a Yoshi. He was yelling "Ness Handcrafted Toys!" She wondered if that was how she was going to be. Out on the streets, selling things. When Ness, the little boy who was selling the toys, saw her, he held up one of the toys that he made for her to see.
The toy looked exactly like the one Doctor Mario and Mrs. Mario use to use to play with Peach.
Suddenly, all of her emotions, the ones of her long deceased mother and her father, now gone, rushed back to her at once. She cried streams of tears as she ran to the nearest house and cried underneath the window seal.
"What's wrong?" asked a female voice from above.
"Huh?" Peach looked up and saw a girl with long ears.
"What's wrong?" asked the elf-eared girl.
"My dad died!" Peach cried, more tears running down her face. "He just fell over and...died."
"Why did he die?" asked the girl.
"From shock." Peach cried. "Shock."
"I wish my father would die." the girl mumbled.
Peach wiped away her tears, which only made room for the many more to come. "Are you Zelda?"
"Aye." Zelda sighed. "You must be Peach."
"How did you know?" asked Peach.
"Link told me about how you two met." said Zelda. "It's great to know someone my age, even though we most likely will not see each other often."
Peach felt a bit a happier, as her tears had dried up.
"Did he tell you about our park refuge?" Peach asked.
"Yes." said Zelda. "Where are you going right now?"
"I'm going to the mayor's house." said Peach. Then the tears came back as she said "To report my father's death."
"Can I come with you." asked Zelda. "I rarely get out of the house, even less do I sneak out."
"Come with me!" cried Peach. "It'll be great to have company."
Zelda climbed out of the window. Peach noticed that she was horribly thin.
Zelda followed Peach to the mayor's home. When they got to the steps, they rang the doorbell.
"You know, Zelda, this house looks like one of those places that my grandma used to tell me about. Back in 1870." said Peach.
"It does look like one of those olden homes, eh?" asked Zelda.
"Yup." said Peach.
"Good day, ladies!" said the young maid who answered the door.
"Hello!" said Peach. "I need to speak to the mayor. I have to report a death."
The maids face went from pleasant to grim.
"Follow me, please." she said to Peach and Zelda. She led the two girls to the mayor and his wife, who were eating their lunch.
"Hello sir." said Peach and Zelda. "Good day miss."
"Hello Peach, hello Zelda." said Mayor Captain Falcon.
"Hello darlings!" said Samus. "Why Zelda! I haven't seen you in so long!" Samus went and hugged Zelda, which gave Zelda a warm feeling inside, as she hadn't felt this way since before her mother's death.
"Well, what brings you here?" asked the Mayor.
"It's my father." said Peach, the tears finding their way back into her eyes.
"Yes dear?" said the Mayor.
"My father...my father..."
"Are you alright?" asked Samus.
"Doctor Mario is dead." said Zelda. Zelda went and hugged Peach, but felt her own emotions of not having a mother, after having such a great hug from Mrs. Samus, coming.
"Oh dear me." said Mayor Falcon. "He was our only doctor in town. What are we to do? I'll come see you and your brothers later if I need any information."
"Alright." sniffed Peach.
Then they went out the door. As they exited the house, Peach and Zelda knew that they were to be friends forever, no matter what life held in store for them.
