Super Smash Bros. Melee : A High School Drama Fic
Chapter Three -- Battle Of The Princesses
Link was happier than usual. He had been on time to school for the past two days, since he had started making Young Link do his homework as soon as he got home from school. And then there was the fact that Zelda had kissed him yesterday afternoon. Before Zelda left his home, he had asked her on a date, and she said yes, so this Friday night, Young Link was staying with Popo so Link could be out. Link didn't think he could possibly be any happier. He remembered that everything was going wrong for him just a few days ago. Now, everything seemed to be working itself out; an answer to his prayers!
"Link, my man, hi!" Fox said as he patted Link on the back. "Flute lessons? You've got to be kidding!" Fox was almost laughing. "Instead of teaching her how to properly tongue music, you taught her how to properly tongue her kisses!"
Link stared at Fox like he was crazy. "... wha... what?" Link sounded almost horrified.
"Aw, don't deny it!" Falco chimed in. "Zellie! You two weren't just learning how to play the flute!"
"How... what?" Link was puzzled. He wasn't stupid; he knew what they were talking about. His day had started out great. Somehow, though, everyone seemed to know. But how... Zelda and I were all alone...
"Yeah, we know all about you and Zelda yesterday afternoon, Link!" Kirby screeched. "Of course, you two were awfully close before lunch! Everyone knew something was going to happen!"
"But how did you -- " Link looked back and forth between Falco and Fox.
"I heard it from Marth!" Fox replied. "He was thrilled! He's telling everybody!" Then added, "I don't think anything has been spread this rapidly since Luigi touched Daisy's butt!"
Luigi, who was also standing nearby, jumped down Fox's throat. "I did not touch Daisy's butt!!" Luigi's face was bright red, half from anger, half from embarrassment.
"Yes-a you did, Luigi." Mario stated firmly. "I was-a there. Why would I lie about-a my brother?"
Fox and Falco went into a laughing fit as they strolled away, leaving Link standing there, his face blank.
"I... Zelda... MARTH." Link suddenly began running to his homeroom class, which he did happen to have with Marth. He didn't see how Marth could have known, speaking he didn't tell anyone in the chatroom last night. He mostly talked to Zelda online the night before about the kiss, and also what they should do for their date. Zelda and Link had also agreed not to tell about the kiss just yet, so he was certain Zelda wasn't the one who shared with the entire school.
"Marth!" Link screamed as he ran into Mr. Toadstood's room, slamming his books down on his desk before confronting his friend. "Marth, tell me!"
"Tell you, what, Link? You were there!" Marth was beginning to laugh.
"There's nothing funny, Marth! A kiss isn't funny! It was a very sweet and romantic kiss! By the way -- how the freak did you know?!"
"I heard it from Roy, who said he heard it from Bowser. Why someone told him, I will never know. Yoshi was supposedly the one that told him though." Marth's laughter surpressed. "Dude, I really don't know who saw. I didn't. I just heard about it."
Link calmed down a little when Marth did. "Thanks. Sorry I was so upset, I thought you were spying."
"Nope, I was on the phone with Malon all afternoon," Marth stated. "I wasn't spying. But you just confirmed that you and Zelda did in fact kiss, though. Some people thought the rumor wasn't true!"
Link sighed heavily. "No, it really did happen. Since everyone already knows, I'll tell you and Roy the details at lunch, okay? But I will murder you if you tell anyone else!"
"You
don't have to threate me, Link. Roy and I can keep to ourselves,
remember? We know all your biggest secrets! It hurts me that you
didn't immediatley tell me about you and Zel," Marth said,
pretending to have a teary voice. The bell then rang, so the boys
took their seats.

Link was just finishing his homework when Young Link came running down the hallway of their home. "It's time to go to the arenas, Link! Come on!"
"Hold your horses, little one." Link shut his notebook. "I have a report to start working on for English later, okay? So make sure to stay off the computer around 6:00."
"Okie dokie, but we gotta go!! Please!" Young Link was jumping up and down by this point. "I wanna see who I'm fighting this weeeeek!"
"You don't have to be so anxious, it'll get here! I still have to get dressed. We have a half and hour before it's time to be there." Link began walking to his room to get changed.
Young Link whined something under his breath and plopped down on the couch where he waited until Link came out, car keys in hand. "Okay, we can go now."
"Yippie!"
Young Link shouted as he followed his older self out the door.

Zelda was eyeing Peach from where she was standing. Zelda had seen the lineup for the fights, but she wasn't scheduled to fight against Peach. Instead, she was fighting Donkey Kong. But Zelda would make sure she got her chance to get Peach back for what she tried doing to Link.
"Guess who?" Link said softly, covering Zelda's eyes from behind.
"Link!" Zelda turned around and gave him a hug. "Why so early?"
"Young Link had ants in his pants, you know how he is with his fighting. Why this early, I don't know, but I'm glad you're here." Link kissed Zelda softly on the cheek. Peach was watching in the distance.
"I told you," Peach said to Samus. "Why is she doing this to me? She knows how much I like Link!"
Samus sighed. "Look, Peach. I've always sensed that Zelda had a thing for Link. Come on, he's saved her life -- and their home -- more times than one. I always knew she never liked Marth, Zelda even told me once. But I'm not taking sides. Peach, Zelda is still my friend even though you're mad at her at the moment."
Daisy agreed with Samus. "Yes, Peach, I knew that too. But it's not because you like Link, I promise! I've always seen the look in Zelda's eyes when she spots Link. I see the way she looks at him while he's fighting on the arenas! I think she may have even felt something for him before your little fling."
"But it always seems like everytime I like someone, one of my best friends likes him too! Like the time I had that crush on that guy that I have 3rd period with. Daisy liked him, too, and he liked Daisy and not me!"
"I'm sorry about that, Peachie, but I can't control the boy's feelings! It's not like I can make him grow feelings for you just because you like him! And it's the same with Link!" Daisy crossed her arms. "A boy doesn't automatically like you because you like him!"
Samus stepped in between the two girls, as it was obvious they were about to get into an argument. Since Daisy wasn't a competitor, they couldn't settle it on the battle fields. "Listen. I don't want you two getting mad at each other over a boy too, especially one that's old news. And by the way, I think his name was Alden. Our group of friends has already been torn apart because of you and Zelda, Peach."
Peach looked back over at Link. He was smiling and chasing Zelda, trying to tickle her. Zelda was scream every once in a while when Link did catch her. "How did they get so close so fast anyway?"
"Remember? They're bound together by the Triforce. They've always had a strong bond, even though they may have not seen it. But of course Zelda, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom, probably already knew. Link and Zelda are destined to have a close relationship, Peach." Samus took a sip of water from a bottle that was setting on the bench. "By the way, it's almost time to start! Zel and DK are up first!"
The announcer soon came over the intercom and called for Zelda and DK. They soon took their places on Corneria.
Zelda and DK soon finished their battle. Zelda had won by using her grab attack and throwing DK upward. Link high-fived her and walked over to Final Destination where he was to fight Mario.
Several battles were fought that afternoon. Young Link was excitied because he was getting to fight Roy for the first time. He lost, but was still happy that they had actually let him advance to fighting a pro swordsman. Link told Young Link he was proud of him for being so brave to fight Roy.
Zelda, meanwhile, was talking with the Master Hand. "Please. I have to fight Peach. We have something to settle. Would you mind letting us stay over a little late to work all of it out?"
"Hrm... Zelda. Fighting cannot solve your everyday problems. Fighting may only worsen the grudge against Peach. But if you insist. You're only 17, Zelda. You're young, but I must let you make your own decisions and mistakes."
"I want to fight her," Zelda continued. "She was trying to hurt Link. I want to protect him, just as he has me."
"Link's a big boy, Zelda. It's his job -- his destiny -- to protect you." The hand was silent for a moment. "But if you really insist."
"Thank you." Zelda was just about to turn away when the Master Hand once again spoke.
"But you cannot have any items to fight with. You may only use your own attacks. And only one stock."
"Alright. Thank you." Zelda left the Master Hand's office quickly.
Zelda soon appeared back out with everyone else where it was beginning to get dark. Soon, the intercom boomed, "Zelda and Peach. Final Destination."
"WHAT?!" Peach shrieked at the sound of her name -- against Zelda. "Oooh, that little... "
"Just go fight her and show her who's boss!" Daisy said. "If you insist that you're better than Zelda, then prove it! This is your chance, Peach! Go!"
Peach
smiled. "You're right, Daisy. I'll do it." Peached
winked at Daisy and walked off toward Final Destination.

"Ready.... GO!" the announcer called. Zelda lunged foreward and grabbed Peach immediatley, throwing the other princess behind her. Peach hit the ground, soon to get up and "Royal Slap" Zelda.
Link watched as the two fought. "I hate this," he said aloud to no one in particular. "This fight is my fault."
"Don't worry so much," Marth offered. "Let them beat the crap out of each other. I bet Zelda wins anyway. She's really tough, especially if she turns into Sheik!"
Link didn't say a word and turned back to the fight. Zelda was using one of her smash attacks... shoving Peach.
"Stay off of Link!" Zelda shouted as she pushed her former friend as hard as she was capable. "Don't you know that you make him uncomfortable?!"
"Whatever! I'm much better than you!" Peach said, swinging a golf club at Zelda, but she dodged it.
"Better than me? Why Peach, are you so sure?" Zelda used Nayru's Love against her opponent.
Peach grabbed her frying pan next. She didn't miss this time. Zelda went flying across Final Dsetination, landing almost to the edge. Peach walked over and did her Can Can Kick against Zelda. Zelda was just lying there, not attempting to get up.
"Tired?" Peach taunted. "I told you I was better!"
"NO!" Zelda shouted as she quickly kicked Peach. "You are not! Besides, why does it matter? Just because you're 'better' does that mean Link is going to fall for you?" Zelda was now making it too obvious for Peach that she had feelings for Link.
"Why not?" Peach asked, picking up a vegetable. She threw it at Zelda, who caught in and threw it back. Peach missed it, and it harmed her a little.
Zelda smirked. "Just because you're royalty? You're forgetting -- so am I!" Din's Fire was soon shot in Peach's direction, but she quickly used Toad to stop it.
"Nice try, Zellie, but I think I'm going to win this one." Peach gripped her golf club tightly. Zelda tried to dodge Peach, but her swing was hard. Peach's golf club connected with Zelda's waist, and Zelda went flying off the arena.
"GAME!" the announcer called. "This game's winner is... Peach!"
"Oh, goody!" Peach cheered. "That was fun! And Zelda... Zelda! HA! I beat her, Daisy!" Peach continued to brag to her friend.
Zelda was walking back towards Link, grabbing her stomach. She began to cough. Link took Zelda in his arms and held her. "It's okay, Zelda. You didn't have to fight to prove anything."
"I know, I just wanted to take my anger out on her in the best way us Smashers know how," she replied. "Everyone at school knows that we know how to kick serious tail. Have you noticed that they leave us alone?"
"Yeah, because we're special!" Link smiled. "And I have a sword!"
Zelda laughed in spite of her injuries. She looked into Link's eyes and smiled. "You're a sweetheart. Once again, you've saved me, but this time, from myself. I shouldn't have fought her."
"But at least you got to really use her as a punching bag. I just hate to see two really good friends arguing beacuse of me." Link and Zelda then began to walk towards his car. "I never really thought you were interested in me in that way."
"You were so wrong," Zelda said. She stroked Link's face and kissed his lips gently. "There's so much, Link, that I haven't told you. But I want to. See you tomorrow?"
"Of course. Can I pick you up for school?"
Zelda grinned. "I would like that a lot." Zelda blew her Hero a kiss before walking towards her own car.
"I knew it! My eyes didn't decieve me!" Young Link playfully said as he ran over to Link. "You did kiss her, just like I saw you kiss her yesterday afternoon!"
Link's jaw dropped. "You were the one that told?!"
The smaller Link grinned. "So what if I did?" He began to giggle. "I saw it yesterday! I was in the kitchen, and I didn't hear any flutes playing, so I decided to see what you were doing. I peeked my head around the corner of the door, and I saw you kissing her! I wanted to scold you for not practicing your flute like you were supposed to be doing!"
The older Link just slapped his forehead. "Oh well, everyone was gonna find out sometime anyway. I had a feeling it was you. You've always been a little sneak!" Link opened Young Link's door and he jumped in the car. Link sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

Author's Notes -- Chapter 3! I hope it didn't suck! (*Is this my usual ending A/N's?*) But I just realized something. I made Mario and Luigi the same age as Link and Zelda... oh well! This is just a fanfiction, and I can do what I want! (*evil grin inserted here*) It's all about imagination, dude! I really hope this is turning out differently than other high school fics. I think those ideas that Kate and I were going to put in are going to be in the next chapter. I am not -- I repeat -- I am NOT the best writer on the face of the planet, but I love to write, and I *love* this game, especially Link (*insert "ahh, he's so sexy!" exclamation here*) so I've really enjoyed making a story about it! There is more to come!
Please be gentle if you review!
