A.N- THANK U FOR THE REVIEWS 3! IM SOOO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG. I got caught up in a lot of things. SCHOOL is still in session where I am. It took me awhile to write this. Sadly, I feel like I did terrible with this chapter! I MEAN TERRIBLE! T-T IDK WHY IT'S SOOO SHORT CUZ IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME. But I still love this craptastic story! HOPEFULLY, I'll update quicker. ANYWAYS, Enjoy!

There was only one more day before the tournament officially began and contestants were already at each other's throats.

I sighed into my pillow while laying on my new bed thinking about all the mishaps of yesterday.

Upon arriving, my jaw hit the ground. The manor looked lovely, inside and out. It was decorated with expensive items which made me think why there were fragile and valuable objects in a place were fighting would take place. It made me slightly jealous that some of the decorations in the mansion were not in my castle. Nevertheless, it was still amazing. Maybe this won't be so bad after all.

Something that made me even less worried was that I saw some familiar faces. Mario, Luigi and Yoshi were there. I was happy to see them all and we had a nice conversation. Well, I couldn't understand Yoshi but I could see in his big eyes that he was happy to see me. Unfortunately, Wario and Bowser were also present. I ignored them when they started yelling things at me like, what are you doing here? Go back to your castle, princess, you know you can't fight! I'll admit that brought my confidence down a bit.

Soon I forgot all about Bowser and Wario's insults, when I made a new friend. She was a tall girl with long dark brown hair and she wore a long white and purple dress. I was glad to see another female competitor here. And she was not just a regular girl, she was a princess like me. Princess Zelda was nice, kind and caring. She seemed like she wouldn't hurt a fly. That's what I thought until something odd happened.

"Would you care for some more tea, Princess Peach?"

"Yes, please," I answered.

We were currently enjoying tea while chatting about how we were relieved not to be the only girls at the manor. Zelda was starting to feel like she was going to be the only girl since she arrived so early and saw nothing but men come through the doors. Zelda picked up the large tea kettle on her coffee table and poured the steaming drink into my teacup. I swear Zelda makes the best tea in the world. The light beverage was not too sweet but sweet enough. One sip would make your mouth scream in delight. It was like…magic.

Right when she finished pouring tea into my cup, a loud knock sounded on her bedroom door which startled both of us.

"Zeeelldaa" A sing-song voice called from behind the door.

The princess's normally calm looking face turned grim. I was surprised to see her expression change so quickly.

"Go away," she responded to the call, anger creeping into her tone.

This can't be good.

Even though the princess warned the knocker, they still entered her room. A glare that could kill emitted from the brunette onto the blue haired trespasser. Why Zelda did not want a cute guy in her room baffled me. He could be in my room anytime. I shook my head. Princesses should not think like this.

The muscular intruder approached Zelda. Her glare intensified with every step that he took yet it had no effect on him. The man bent down a bit then whispered something into the peeved girl's pointy ear.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS IKE! Now LEAVE my room."

What did he say?

Zelda's request was once again ignored as Ike turned his attention to me.

"Hey, what's your name?" He asked in a way that made my cheeks feel warm. Was I blushing?

"Um-" I started but then was cut off.

"Leave..." Zelda uttered harshly.

She was scaring me even though she was trying to make that happen to Ike. Zelda did not faze him for he stood there with a smirk upon his gorgeous face. Wait, did I say gorgeous?

"OH MY GOSH, PEACH, WHATS THAT BEHIND YOU?" Zelda gasped and pointed behind me then slapped her other hand over her mouth.

Shocked, I immediately snapped my head around. My eyes quickly scanned over the walls and the floor search for whatever caused my friend to shout like that.

After several seconds of seeking, I slowly turned back towards Zelda. Confusion struck me. Partly because I did not see what she saw behind me but mostly because Ike had vanished without a word.

"W-Where did…" I couldn't even finish my sentence.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry. It must have been my imagination, how silly of me." Zelda quietly sipped her as if nothing had happened.

But what did just happen?

Later that evening I was so thankful because something in my mind told me to eat dinner early. I'm glad I did because minutes later a fight broke out in the mess hall, a food fight to be exact.

Zelda informed me later that the brawling stopped when Jigglypuff started to expand and everyone ran as fast as they possibly could out of the cafeteria. People were mad at Jigglypuff. Everyone was pointing fingers when asked who started the fight. I wondered about who had to clean that up...

I turned onto my back and stared aimlessly at the ceiling.

If all this happened the day before the tournament began, what'll happen tomorrow?
