"These flowers are..." Daisy pulls an extremely heavy gray wagon full of white daises "Are about die off." She planned to set it just a few blocks away from the Smash mansion. Though not a newcomer, she overcame her jealousy of Rosalina and soon there after becoming good friends with her. Daisy often visits the place and is greeted kindly by all who lived there.
As she finds the perfect spot for selling, she lets go of the long black handle attached to the wagon. Next, she grabs her colored sharpies and a big white billboard to scribble on it. Daisy places the billboard in front of the wagon and tilts it for people to get a better view. She stands there waiting for people and some smashers to buy her daisies.
"Well this'll take a while." Daisy sits next to her wagon and examines her surroundings.
Back in the mansion, Cloud decides to go outside for training. He carried his sword and heads on out with confidence. Ike, Marth, Pit, Link, Lucina and Meta Knight were already outside dueling each other. Ike vs Lucina, Marth vs Meta Knight, and Link vs Pit. What about Cloud? Cloud sits on a stoned ledge waiting for someone to duel with. The 6 didn't even notice Cloud's presence since they were too busily fighting.
"Looks like they're busy for the moment." Cloud got up to his feet and walks further away from the mansion. He needed a long walk instead of a fight.
Meanwhile, a man had been checking out Daisy and her daisies. He tapped his chin as he got closer to them. Daisy had a puzzled look on her face. He didn't need to be this close to them. The man sniffs the flowers like it is a freshly baked pie. After that constant sniffing had been done away with, he let out an obnoxious sneeze to the daisies. Daisy stood up and confront the man.
"May I help you?" She asked impatiently with her hands on her hips.
The man fixed his round glasses. "Your flowers are too dangerous. How dare you have the right to sell them?"
"You're only saying that because they made you sneeze." Daisy chuckles but then had her neck grabbed by the man.
"Don't make me kill you." He glares down at Daisy, who had her eyelids lower in an uncaring way.
"Over some flowers? Puh-lease" Daisy released herself from the man. "If I ever catch you coming here and threatening me and stuff, you're gonna wish you won't see the bad side of me. So do me a favor and get your salty self outta here." Daisy uses her thumb to make a direction for the man to leave. Surprisingly he obeyed with fear struck in his eyes.
The man sprinted so fast he bumps into Cloud which resulted into him falling down the concrete ground. Cloud studied the man's face before asking "What happened?"
No answer was given since the man stood back up and is running to his car.
How odd.
From a far distance, Daisy could see a blonde male wearing all black and carries a big sword on his back. He comes further and further as Daisy squints her eyes to get a clear view of him.
Who is he? She asked herself in her head. Once the man approaches to her, he had a moped expression on his face as he stares at the daisies.
"Cloud?" Asked a voice.
"Aerith?" He asks back.
Daisy studied Cloud's face while he's in his own little world. She gets up and stands behind the wagon to present what she's selling.
"Want a daisy? It'll cost you one dollar." Daisy winks and had her finger sticking up to let Cloud know the cost.
Cloud looks up, getting his sense back together.
"That's something she would say." Cloud tells Daisy, who is now confused.
"Who's she?" Daisy asked, tilting her head.
"Nevermind." Cloud shakes his head. He reaches deep in his pocket bring cash to Daisy. Daisy's eyes lit up in surprise. Her hands were out to receive the money. Once the money is in her hand, she gives the daisy to Cloud. Cloud nods as in thanks and starts taking his steps.
"Wait!" Daisy shouts loud enough for Cloud to hear. Cloud turns around to gaze at Daisy again.
"What?"
"Who's this she you're referring to?" Daisy asked while smiling in a cute way. Cloud didn't answer her question when he turned his back and continues to walk.
"Wait!" Daisy waves her arms in the air "Come back tell me who is this woman you are taking about!"
Cloud is now out of sight. Daisy sighs disappointingly but still continues to sell her flowers.
Nighttime
The male Smashers were gambling on the kitchen table. The females were all over the place talking. The children were running around the living room playing tag. While Palutena was busy gibbering to Rosalina about her goddess work, Rosalina had a chance to take a peek at a daisy Cloud kept throughout the afternoon. She was curious to know where he got the daisy from. Most smashers here don't even care about flowers, plants, nature in general.
He kept it safe. Rosalina said in her head. Palutena cleared her throat for she finally notes that Rosalina ignored her. Rosalina turns her attention back to Palutena and apologizes for her rudeness.
Cloud twisted the stem with his thumb and forefinger, making the daisy spin gracefully like a windmill. As he did that, his thoughts are still about his past. He knew he can get over it but sometimes a certain someone appears in his dreams just to discuss about his evil work which angered Cloud immensely.
Link stepped away from the game to take a break. His eyes were on Cloud at every move the spiky blonde makes. Little did he know that he noticed a daisy Cloud had in his fingers twiddling and twiddling non stop.
What a child. Link said in his head. Inside, there has always been a soft side Link shows to everyone but when it comes to Cloud, the soft side isn't shown. He feels if Cloud doesn't want his attention no matter what nice things Link would offer him.
Two hours later, when it's around his bedtime, Link could hear Cloud's voice coming from below the floor. He could also hear the little ones giggling. Link tosses to the opposite direction to avoid tempting to check what's happening. He muttered himself to cover the noises but stops when the giggles were heard again but this time louder. Irritably, Link rushes downstairs to offer a complaint. In the living room, Cloud is reading Kirby (who's asleep), Luma, Ness, and Lucas a different story. He even had Rosalina sitting next to him enjoying what she sees. As soon as Link raises his voice, Cloud signals Link to stay quiet so he wouldn't upset Kirby.
"What's happening here?!" Link whisper shouts. Rosalina's eyebrows furrowed as she had her direction towards Cloud.
"I'm reading a storybook. Want to join?" Cloud whispers back wearing a small smirk on his face. His smirk isn't visible for Link or the others to see. Not even Rosalina since she's sitting right next to him. Link isn't the type to refuse kind offers such as this. He notices that Cloud and others were having a good time so he wouldn't want to screw up their mood plus the little ones love Link too. All Link can do is to join. He sits next to Cloud as Cloud continues his story. The story was about a hero who have been mistreated badly but met a few friends along the way. All he had to do is wait for that wish to be true. While Cloud reads, he notes that maybe that story's plot is like his struggles.
Maybe.
