Crazy Peach

Hey! Um ... I'm just going to go ahead and explain honestly why i'm late updating ...

There was a giant robot army with firebreathing chiwahwah hench men trying to abduct my precious Harvest Moon chickens, so i had to battle them to their robotic deaths until i could finally get my computer back! (because they abducted that too).

And that's why i was late XDD

... don't lookat me like that! that's really what happened ok?! XD

Hope you like it! X3

Oh, and if robots that look like toasters show up at your house with canons and pitchforks ... it's not my fault, really. it's not. --cough-- just, um, keep reading. Yea. If you read, you'll live. Onto the show! XD

Oh man this is gunna be so great! Ike thought to himself as he walked towards the kitchen, eager to find some good liquor (because he has a huge drinking problem … haha, no he's just bringing some for his friends. XD) and trying not to snicker too loud but was failing horribly.

I can't wait to tell Marth and the others about this. Haha! But what if he's not gay? What if that was just some mix up?

Ike stopped and decided to take that moment to ponder in silence

"…"

Nah, he's totally gay. I mean come on, and besides, who cares! It's Link! When has there ever been a time that making fun of Link isn't totally awesome? Never! Haha! I knew that's why Zelda really didn't come! haha!

He laughed again but soon stopped. But Peach misses Zelda terribly. They're the best of friends, and I just want that sweet silly woman to be happy. He smiled as he thought of her. You see, Ike's never been the type to have a crush on anybody, he was more of a serious yet fun loving guy, but he doesn't really like anybody like that. Until Peach that is.

As soon as he saw her, he thought she was pretty, ditzy, but pretty. Still no real connection and he didn't really know anything about her, but then back in Melee when they had to battle each other, his perspective of her completely changed and he'll never forget how adorable she was.

He went into the battle with same winning determination he did with every competitor, but the way she moved and acted and giggled when he missed an attack made him quickly lose that winning urge. Not even half way through he didn't want to fight her any more and only dodged her sweet attacks.

He found himself grinning more and more when she tried to get him and pouted when she failed. He didn't notice the glowing power up orb float towards them until Peach grabbed it and soon charged him with her Special Attack. But he didn't care. He was too stunned by how sweetly she danced and the light glowing around her as she did so to care.

Until he smelt flowers out of nowhere and was knocked out then woke up with bruises later.

He lost, but couldn't help but smile at her. From then on out, he's wanted to talk to her again but every time he tried he couldn't get out what he wanted to say. Then she would tilt her head to the side adorably and that only made it worse on poor Ike until someone called her and she politely said good bye to him with a sweet smile.

He grinned and kept walking up the stairs. I bet if I somehow figured out where the heck Zelda is and brought her back for Peach, then Peach might get closer to me. It would at least make her happier and that's always good.

Feeling proud of himself, he grabbed the last of the many bottles he put in the once empty bag he carried. He grinned and decided to pop one open for himself.

He had reached the top of the stairs and was about to turn down his hallway when he heard a quiet and distant surprised yelp come from further down the hallway. He knew right away that it was none other than Princess Peach. "Huh?" He said out loud. Why is Peach all the way back there…? She must be lost. Oh! I could go help her! Yea!

He turned to go down the hallway and couldn't help but kind of jog; excited to finally be able to be close to Peach and help her. He slowed down and frowned when his very acute ears heard another deeper voice accompany her sweet one.

What? Sheik? Sheik's there…? He walked down a little farther and leaned closer to the wall, trying to get a closer look. Ike not only had great hearing but incredible night vision too. He was just weird like that. Which means he could see every blush and hear every giggle Peach made when Sheik barely even moved.

This of course didn't sit very well with Ike who was practically in love with her. Sheik! You player! You were just all over Link for Pete's sake, and now your making my dear Princess blush!! You're not worthy of seeing that blush! He pouted in mock horror.

Before he knew it he was chugging down bottles of liquor way too quickly and his rage was getting fuzzy but stronger. Soon the whole room was spinning and he was wondering why the ceiling was above him but he tried really hard to stay focused on the now terrible stupid Sheik and even more beautiful Peach that were somehow gaining up on him.

Sheik! You. You evil blue person! Why did you have to take the one thing that is the best thing … ever! Away from me?! she's be-- beauti-- really pretty! But you have an elf… so… so quit doing that! He half thought, half said out loud as he left his bag of almost empty bottles by the wall and staggered towards them and was going to give Sheik a piece of his half wasted mind.

"Ow, oh, did I hit a wall…?" Peach rubbed her nose and opened her eyes surprised that it was a wall she hit. "S-Sheik?!" Peach exclaimed rather loudly. "I thought you were a wall!" she said in one quick breath.

…Um … A … wall? Sheik thought as he starred down at Peach. That alone was making her cheeks burn pink.

It didn't help that she was still very close to his very solid body. She found her eyes trailing down his lean body unconsciously. She shook her head and looked back up at him after stepping away still blushing. "I um. I've been looking for you."

Sheik blinked. "Oh?" he said monotonously. Peach, you're the last one I needed to run into now … Sheik was ashamed to think it, but it was true, he couldn't get caught and Peach would be the one that could really do it. Besides Link that is, that elf can be such an idiot sometimes, but Sheik assumed that he couldn't help it. He is just plain out baffled half the time and never knows what's going on all the time. Again, it couldn't be helped. Moving on.

Sheik took in an unnoticed breath and tried to relax.

Ok Zelda. You can do this. Just do what Sheik would do. Not Zelda, because for now, you're not Zelda, Zelda. I mean Sheik. And don't reveal anything no matter what. Or else it could all be ruined ... Not a big deal... She took one last breath before she spoke. "Would you care if I walked with you Princess Peach?"

Peach blushed and smiled, eagerly nodding her head. "N-not at all." They began to walk down the hall, both at a calm pace and both with space. Though Peach could only wish that someone would bump them together again. She'd be prepared this time and would not think Sheik was a wall.

There was silence for a few minutes as they walked back up the long hallway. Their heads were equally buzzing with thoughts, but were on completely different tracks.

Alright. I have to hurry and get her to the rooms as quick as I can. Not too quickly though. Maybe I could just run Ninja-speed down the hallway while Peach isn't looking- No, I can't do that to poor Peach even if I'm playing Sheik and not Zelda. That's just mean. I mean it's adorably sweet Peach, come on! No, running away is out of the question. I just have to remain perfectly calm… Was basically the line of thoughts pouring into Zelda's panicky mind. Sheik was as calm and collective as ever on the outside though. That's all I have to do, just stay calm…

I wonder if Sheik likes girls with pink dresses? Peach glanced at her long bright pink dress again for the fifth time since she and Sheik had actually started walking up the hall. I really, really hope so. He seems to like blue though. Again, glancing at Sheik's side. I could make him some muffins and tea maybe. Oh, but I don't even know what kind of food he likes or anything. He's so mysterious … but uh, um… ! stop starring at him Peach! Uh, um … right. I was thinking about what he likes … yes. But, what does he like? What is he like really? I don't know anything about him … She pondered these thoughts more but then her face brightened at her ingenious little idea.

Sheik glanced towards Peach just in time to see the pink blur that was Peach scoot up right next to him in an instant. Zelda wasn't startled, but would've been had she not known Peach for such a long time and known that she should expect the completely and utterly unexpected from Peach.

"Sheik may I ask you something?" Sheik turned to see Peach looking at him with an adorable little smile on her face. Sheik was thankful for the white tattered cloth that covered his mouth, because Peach would've known right then and there that that was the same unmistakable smile Zelda gave her when Peach did things so … well, peachy in a Peach-like way. "Sure. Go ahead." Sheik said casually.

"Well ... um …" Peach fiddled with the lace in her dress for a moment. Sheik's eyes were unfazed, but Zelda's mind had stopped and instantly began buzzing. Peach. Please. PLEASE don't let me think what I'm thinking that you're thinking about Sheik right now …

Zelda B-rated herself for panicking and thinking a line of thought that was confusing even to herself. She calmed down, but the more she looked at Peach begin to turn a light shade of pink and nervously fiddled with everything around her (her dress, white gloves, etc), the more her theory was being confirmed.

… Peach… please stop having a crush on me. Quit looking at me like that every now and then. I knew you were looking at me a lot at the stadium, but I didn't think you were checking me out! Oh man. Oh man. This isn't good. What am I going to do? I don't want to hurt her, but she can't like Sheik like this because she can't find out it's me! Or I might lose her …

Sheik blinked to come back to reality and noticed Peach looking back up at him again. Sheik straightened nervously as Peach's eyes bore into him before she finally spoke. She never looked at Zelda that way for long even innocently and it wasn't helping that Peach would trail to Sheik's lean muscular arm every now and then.

"Sheik do you like cats?" Peach asked with her head cocked to the side again.

Sheik blinked in surprise

… Haha. It's good seeing you again crazy Peach. That was one of the questions Peach randomly asked Zelda when they first met. And just like before, she was baffled but couldn't help but laugh at that same innocently confused face. Before they knew it, they were both rolling around in laughter and everyone looked at them like they were crazy. Or drunk, whichever one came to mind first.

If you're one to believe in first impressions, that night had to be one of the best kinds. It told them both right away that they were destined to be best friends from then on out. Of course they were too drunk on laughter and Peach's tea to really think anything after words.

" Well… I'm … more of a dog person." Sheik said trying to hold in the smile that crept across his face and would probably reach his eyes. Peach made an "oh" look on her face. A few minutes passed by and they said nothing once again before Peach looked brightly up at him and continued.

"Sheik, do you like cupcakes or chocolate doughnuts better?" she asked once more.

Zelda couldn't risk answering right away --because that's what Zelda would do, not Sheik-- so she acted a little surprised every time and very strongly held back her smile. "um… doughnuts."

"Shiny things of fluffy things?"

Zelda allowed a warm Sheik-like smile to appear on his barely visible face. "Shiny probably."

She put her smile finger up to her lip and looked up thoughtfully. "What's you're favorite type of insect?"

… Ok that one did catch Zelda off guard. Hm… well, as far as I remember, Peach never mentioned anything about bugs. She followed a ladybug and kept it as a pet once, but still, not much about bugs ... I imagine it wouldn't make her like Sheik even more if I said anything about bugs this time. "I'd have to say dragonflies."

Peach blinked. Sheik was waiting for another question but heard none so he turned to her. Peach could only smile warmly. "May I ask why?"

Sheik looked down then just shrugged. "To me they're powerful and look intimidating, but graceful and poised as well. Very unique, I've always admired them from the moment I saw one." He looked to Peach and she seemed to snap out of her gaze when he turned and quickly blushed and took a deep breath.

Sheik lifted a golden eyebrow. … uh oh. Deep breath means bad—

"Sheik, why are you in Hyrule?"

Sheik froze. "I um--"

"Is it because the weather's nicer there? Oh! Are you related to Link?"

… What?! "… Well actually it's um, uh--" The inevitable sweat drop of doom started to grow on his head.

"Why is your suit so tight and … blue? Have you always worn it like that or did you get it like right before you came here?" She paused for a moment.

Oh no oh no oh no! No! I have to get out of here, quick, change the subject! But what could possibly -- that's it!

Sheik took a quick breath. "Peach, I've heard that you make a wonderful cup of tea. Is this true?"

Peach her hands in front of her and giggled. "Well … a lot of people like my tea. I could make you some if you'd like." She closed her eyes in an adorable smile. Zelda sighed in her head and was relieved.

Oh Sheik would you really like my tea? I'd love to make you some, and then I could ask you what I want to know then… but… I want to know as much as I can now. And I have to know if you know where Zelda is …

"… Um. Sheik? Please forgive me if I'm prying," she started.

Oh no! It backfired, she's too determined! Zelda thought frantically. Sheik's eyes glanced from wall to wall searching for something, anything that could give her an opportunity to escape the questions she couldn't answer.

Sheik searched and Peach continued. "But … I was just wondering if you--"

"Sheik!" A muffled but sure voice said. Both Sheik and Peach looked up to see a very drunk Ike standing in the middle of the hall.

"Sheik!–hic- that's you! I have a –hic- a bone to pick with you! But I don't like bones, so I'm just gunna –hick- gunna –hic- say somethin else later. You're with –hic- " He looked like he was trying to focus in Peach's general direction. Soon he staggered over closer to them and they both backed up a little. "Peach! Do you have –hic- ANY" He exaggerated on the any part. "Idea. How lucky you are to be with –hic- her? Do you?! No! because –hic- because you just don't!"

Peach looked to Sheik and then to the overly intoxicated lopsided cape wearing Ike. Sheik didn't look at all surprised about Ike's current very drunk condition because on the inside Zelda was practically screaming with relief: Yes! This is perfect! All I have to do is drag Ike back to his room and Peach can't question me any more for now! Great. Now, just act Sheik-like and get him out of here –

"And YOU Sheik!" He pointed an accusing finger at him and swayed to the left too quick, but regained his balance. "YOU don't –hic- appreciate her at all! Since you're all over L- hic- Li –hic- that guy and stuff! Even though you're over –hic- here with the great Peach! And not the fruit, the good kind!" He looked down at the floor as if concentrating. Mean while Zelda was panicking. Damnit, did he see Link and I together? Damn! What did he see? … what did he hear? Oh, now I really have to get him out of here fast, before he says anything else.

Ike put his bottle to his head trying to think. "Well peaches are good too. But Peach is sweet! No wait, so are peaches … uh …"

"Ok, you've had way too many drinks." Sheik said cutting him off from saying anything else and taking the bottle from his hands. Ike reached for them but ended up falling to the floor with his cape on his head. He pulled at his cape. "I'm a super man! Yeaaa!" He said rolling around, supposedly flying.

Sheik sighed and looked back up at Peach who had kneeled down beside Ike. She fixed his crown and pulled his cape lose gently to he wouldn't strangle himself. As drunk as Ike was, he couldn't help but smile and gazed at her.

"Peach?" Sheik inquired as he lifted Ike to his feet and slung his arm around his shoulder. "I'm going to take back to his room. Is it all right if I go on ahead? He needs to lie down as quickly as he can." He nodded over to Ike, who was smiling goofily at her and then started pulling on Sheik's scarf thing and humming.

Peach looked at Ike concerned. She had no experience what-so-ever with drunk people, but Sheik looked certain that he knew what he was doing. They were close to her hallway now and she nodded to Sheik. "Of course. And um …" She put her hands together and smiled sweetly up at him. "Thank you for walking with me today."

Sheik's eyes warmed. "No problem." Soon Sheik was out of sight. Which amazed Peach because she thought Sheik was just there … wow, he's really fast. She blinked and smiled. Soon she was in her very pink room under her pink mattress and set her pink alarm clock.

She furrowed her golden eyebrows in concern. Oh! I didn't get to ask him anything about Zelda! Oh, I'm so forgetful. She pouted. Well … I guess I'll have to see him tomorrow and ask him … I really, really hope he likes pink.

There! Finally got another chapter up. GAWD. I totally suck at updating, i know, please don't kill me! --Hides--

You know what? I'm gunna get a giant mallet and crush that Writer's Block 3000 THEN I might can actually get some work done here! XD

... but until then, I'll beg for my life. --begs for life--

Anywho, I really, really hope this chapter was worth the wait --anime sweat drop-- corny i know, but i'm trying damnit! XDD
