Well, my EPIC cousin came over recently and she gave me this EPIC idea for the next chapter. Not this one, unfortunately, but she did help with this one. Oh, and to Ignitious, your idea is perfect! Me and my cousin read it and bursted out laughing. So of course, I couldn't help but use it. Enjoy the chapter!
After Pit took Sonic back to his room to rest (or regain consciousness for that matter), Marth walked over to Zelda who was sitting at the juice bar.
"Thirsty, Zelda?" He asked.
Zelda looked over at Marth in surprise. "Oh, Marth. You startled me for a second. Yes, I was planning on getting a smoothie." Marth nodded and sat next to her.
"Allow me to get it for you." As Marth purchased Zelda a smoothie and chatted with her as they waited for it to be made, Link was glaring from afar. He was still lying on the beach, waves hitting him occasionally, because he never bothered to move since he wiped out.
Ike walked over to him and asked, "You glaring at Marth?"
"No, I'm glaring at Santa. Yes, I am glaring at Marth!" Link exclaimed.
"Geez, man. No need to get angry." Ike looked over at Marth and Zelda. He heard Link scowl and an idea popped into his head. "You know what? I'll do you a favor, Link." Link watched as Ike strolled over to Marth and Zelda.
"Overall he's a good unit but he really lacks intelligence." Marth said as Zelda nodded.
"Here's your smoothie." The juice guy said and put the smoothie on the counter. Just as Marth was about to give it to Zelda, Ike took it out of his hands.
"Oh, is that for me? Thanks, Marth!" And just walked off. Marth felt like beating Ike up, but he knew that would not look good in front of Zelda.
"One more of those please?" He asked. After Link saw what Ike did, he made a mental note to hi-five him later. The juice guy gave Marth another smoothie.
"Hey, thanks for the smoothie, Marth." Ganondorf said as he took it.
"Really?" Marth said. Marth purchased yet another smoothie and waited for it. But just as the juice guy was about to give it to Marth, King Dedede walked by and snatched it from him.
"Hey thanks, prince!" He said as he walked off.
"You know what Marth? I think I'll just go ask Peach to make me one of her smoothies…" Zelda said as she awkwardly walked off. Marth banged his head on the counter and cursed Ike, Ganondorf, and Dedede as Link rolled around on the shore, laughing his head off.
Shortly after Ike took the first smoothie…
Samus was relaxing by the pool watching as the kids played in the water. Of course she would yell at them every time they splashed her. After she scolded the little brats again, Samus turned her head and saw Ike walking over to her.
"Oh, boy. Here we go." She thought.
Ike walked over to her and said, "Ey, Samus. How you doin'?"
"I'm doing fine, baby. How about you?" Samus said sarcastically. Ike laughed a bit and sat in a chair next to her.
"Smoothie?" He asked.
"Oh, thanks Ike. That's very nice of you." Samus said and took the smoothie.
"You're welcome. I got it just for you." Ike said.
"Cannonball!" Toon Link exclaimed and jumped in the water, accidentally soaking Ike.
"Gah!" The mercenary exclaimed. He glared at Toon Link.
"Ooooo! Toon Link, you are going to get it!" Nana said. Toon Link looked fearfully at Ike, but was surprised when the mercenary smiled.
"You call that a splash? I'll show you a splash!" He jumped into the water, causing a huge splash that caught Samus.
"Oops, sorry Samus." Ike said. Samus laughed a little and set her smoothie down.
"If I had my suit, I'd show you all a real splash!" She dove in gracefully, coming up near Ike.
"Mind if I join you guys?" Link asked as he walked over.
"Come on in, Link!" Ike said. Link jumped in, causing a splash not as big as Ike's but close.
"Meh, I'd give it six." Toon Link said.
"I'd give it a five." Ness said.
"I'd give it a six as well." Lucas said. From a diving board high above, the Ice Climbers Nana and Popo jumped off.
"Super Twin Splash!" They yelled. They hit the water, and a splash bigger than Ike's hit everyone.
"Eight!" Toon Link yelled.
"Seven!" Ness shouted.
"Nine!" Lucas said.
"Hey, is this a cannonball contest or something? I'm the king of cannonballing!" King Dedede yelled as he jumped in.
"Oh shi-" Everyone else swam away panicked as Link was the unfortunate victim to be landed upon. Dedede caused quite the splash, as Toon Link was thrown right out of the water.
"Ten!" All three kids yelled.
"Ha! I'd like to see anyone beat that!" Dedede said.
"BEEP!" Everyone looked up and saw Mr. Game and Watch who had just jumped off the VERY high dive. They never expected that all the water in the pool would be splashed out completely. Ike faceplanted on the concrete and Samus landed on him.
"OW!" Ike exclaimed.
"Oops! Sorry, Ike!" Samus said and got up.
Toon Link pulled his face off the ground and said, "Thirty."
"Same here." Ness and Lucas said. Meanwhile Mr. Game and Watch pulled himself out of the crack he had put in the pool.
"Beep…" He said, looking at the smashers that were splashed out of the pool. Dedede had even landed in a tree.
"How did you DO that?!" Popo asked.
"Beep, beep."
"Uh-huh. How exactly does a 2-D figure beat ME at cannonballing?" Dedede asked as he fell out of the tree.
"Don't judge a book by it cover." Ike said as he got up.
"Be, bee beep" Mr. Game and Watch said and walked off.
"Well, the pool is ruined." Ike said.
"And so is my smoothie." Samus said, picking up the crushed cup.
"Aw, man! I had to steal that from Marth to get it!" Ike exclaimed.
"Wait, you stole this from Marth?" Samus asked.
"Uh… yes?"
Samus threw the cup at Ike. "Go get him another one and apologize!" She said.
"Yes, mother." Ike said.
A vein popped in Samus's head as Ike hastily ran off.
Marth was still at the juice bar, thinking of ways to win over Zelda's heart and how to kill Ike, Ganondorf, and Dedede. Speaking of one of the devils, Ike came walking over to Marth. Marth was about to punch Ike in the face when the mercenary interrupted.
"Hey! Don't hit me! I came here to apologize."
Marth looked skeptical, but put his hand down. "Apologize? Since when do you apologize for anything?" Marth asked.
"Samus made me."
"Well, that would explain it."
"What smoothie did you get in the first place? Samus told me I had to get you another one."
"Ike, do you think it really matters now? I bought the smoothie for Zelda, and she obviously isn't here."
"Yeah… Sorry, about that." Ike said.
Marth put his head on the counter. "It doesn't matter. You can just leave."
Ike looked at Marth. Maybe what he did wasn't a good thing. "Okay, I'll just go." Ike said and got up.
"Ike?" Marth asked, lifting his head.
Ike turned and looked at Marth. "Yeah?"
"If you ever need help with Samus, let me know."
"What? What do you mean by that?"
"Instead of just taking the smoothie, I would have bought you one to give to Samus, you know."
"You lost me."
"I'm saying that you're a good friend of mine Ike, even if it doesn't seem that way. You're also the only one I have since apparently Roy is angry at me and you know about Link."
"...Still lost."
Marth sighed and walked over to Ike. "Ike, you're the only friend I have right now and I've seen you trying everything to get Samus's attention. So, if you need any help with her, I'll help you. Though I doubt you'll ask."
Ike was still confused. "Why are you saying this? Especially after I clearly didn't help you with Zelda."
"Because that's what friends do, right? They, help each other no matter what? At least I think that's how friends are." Marth said.
"You're right. Thanks, Marth. And if I need any help with Samus, I'll ask." Ike said. Marth nodded.
"Though, I doubt I'll need help. With my good looks, Samus will be mine in a week."
Marth facepalmed. "That's Ike alright…" He thought as Ike walked off.
He knew Ike had no chance without a little help, so Marth decided he would help Ike even if he didn't ask. Why the prince wanted to help Ike, he didn't know. Maybe it was the 'vacation' in the air; everyone seemed nicer. Marth headed over to the pool as he thought about his plan, but when he got to the pool, there wasn't one.
"The heck happened here?" He asked. He looked into the empty pool and saw a Mr. Game and Watch shaped hole at the bottom.
"I won't even ask…"
And the winner of the cannonball contest is... a 2-D, paper, thing! AKA, Mr. Game and Watch. YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THAT, DID YA?
So here we have Ike doing Link a favor by messing up one of Marth's chances. Marth, dispite being angry at him, still says that he will help Ike if he needs it(and he will). I'm trying to make Marth the good guy here. And I hardly do that. Marth will be nice because he feels like it. That's just what vacation does to people, I guess. Time for questions!
1) How will Marth help Ike out with Samus? How will Marth mess up and unknowingly make Samus fall for him?
2) What shall be Link's next move on Zelda?
3) Who should I focus on in Chapter 6?
Darn... I thought I had another but I guess I forgot. Oh well. I love suggestions and answers to these questions! They help make the next chapter so keep that in mind! Til next time!
