Chapter 6: Tournament trails.
Nothing was too much of a problem, minus the actual fights; but we advanced through very quickly going into the semifinals with Link, Capt F, and The M Wii Fit Trainer. From this point it was a free-for-all and who ever were the last two standing advanced to the finals for the win. We got a day off since the tournament was taking time away from battles and gave some of the other fighters some time off. Ungratefully enough in this time I had gained the attention of some females who, up to this point, could've care less about me but now I'am they want.
"Mac~" I groan when I hear Peach's pretty pink heels clicking behind me, I muster up a smile and turn to face her. "So how's everything going, you seem a but stressed?" She says with a 'cute' head tilt. I shake my head.
"No honestly I'm fine I'm just thinking about some things..." She nods then giggles.
"Well if you ever need any kind of help feel free to find me" Her voice tells me that she doesn't mean a tea party, I smile and nod then walk off. I groan when suddenly from the Final Destination stage (Y/N) pops out landing back first. He/She stands up and rubs their back.
"Oh hey (Y/N)!" For some reason (Y/N) was starting to become the only person who was not bugging the mess out of me over this tourney... maybe it was just because he/she was my partner but honestly it's nice too have someone like this regardless. (Y/N) smiles to me brightly then looks behind me probably to Peach who still hadn't left.
"So your getting popular...?" I nod then scratch my head.
"Trust me if I could get rid of this I would... hey do you mind staying with me for just today; maybe if everyone sees you with me they'll leave me alone." He/She shrugs then smiles.
"Sure... it's not like I had much to do today anyways..." I smile "But what should we do...? I'm more then sure if they just see us together they'll still come and ignore me to talk to you..." I scratch my chin and think. He/She was right and everyone here is known for falling under certain guesses.
"Honestly, I wouldn't know the first thing to do... is there anything you wanna do?" He/She shrugs then looks down.
"Well I was going to visit Marth... he told everyone that Ike had a surprise to tell everyone..." I smile
"That's great we'll go then, I bet it'll be fun!" I sling my arm around his/her shoulder and they almost fall over when I do he/she chuckles awkwardly.
"As long as its alright with you then..." I smile then start to walk along to the Fire Emblems room. We get there real soon and we realize that the entire building was cramped into this tiny little room, they had enough and just decided to say it outside. While walking there I decided to tell (Y/N) my thoughts on this whole thing.
"You know I seriously feel like that there thing is going to be something life changing..." He/She looks up to me.
"What makes you think that..." I smile. I haven't noticed it before but being around (Y/N) sorta made me get these weird feelings inside. I knew what it was but I was sure as heck not going to tell that to him/her. Finally I speak again.
"I dunno really... maybe it's just the vibe I get around everyone here." I nudge deeply to his/her 's shoulder. I did it a bit to hard causing (Y/N) to wince in pain. Oh man I'm sorry..." his/her smile brings me to think that maybe I was being too tense around him/her.
"I'm fine my shoulder just hurts a bit..." I nod then chuckle.
"Been fighting too hard, you should take a break sometime... like maybe tomorrow?" I glance and see nothing but dark red over (Y/N)'s face.
"Wait... you want to hang out with me...?" I smile, partly for loving how I didn't have to into too much detail about the whole thing, and the other for how cute (Y/N) actually looked in the night with that blush.
"Yeah seems like a cool idea and we are partners so we should've probably done things like this sooner!" It's quite for a moment.
"... that's really nice. I've never really heard anyone say that to me who wasn't just being nice to me" That makes my heart sorta flutter I smile brightly when our conversation is cut short for the announcement. Marth walks up to a risen part in the yard and Ike joins him; smiling like a child. Ike speaks up after everyone quiets down.
"As many of you may already know me and Marth are very close... but we can't always be like this with each other, so I decided on something that will keep us together no matter the time we are separated from one another!" Ike smiles then takes both of Marth's hands into his making him stare at him."This is really embarrassing to say right here and not even Marth knows what I'm about to do but here goes nothing..." He takes another long pause. "Marth, I may not be the most tolerable person ever but it is my duty to always see you smile and have no worries on your mind, I won't always be there physically but please will you accept this as a memory of me?" Ike pulls out a more than visible ring and slips it on Marth's now shaking hand, everyone around us gasped or talks softly awaiting the response from Marth. It never comes but instead a huge show of affection spawns out from Marth to Ike, his new husband. All the girls squeal or sigh wondering why the guys they love don't do things like that for then, while everyone else just gives claps of encouragement. I do as well noticing how quiet (Y/N) was being. I chuckle. (1)
"What's the matter? A minute ago I thought you were all excited to hear about this...?" After some silence He/She speaks.
"I am... I'm just having a hard time reacting to this... I mean I'm happy really but then I wonder what it would feel like if I was in there shoes... does that make me jealous?" I smile then looks to the display in front of me.
"Nope it just makes you human..." We all leave most of the girls staying behind to look at Marth's ring. Boy am I glad Ike did that, maybe now everyone will leave me alone... I think a little bit too soon on that thought and wound be being dragged off by everyone else. Great... I groan as I sit in the small room filled with people and a small white board, I wondered why there was nearly no one besides kids here but I guess it would have been explained soon enough.
"Is everyone here?" Ness says in the middle of the room while holding a stick. Everyone looked around then nodded, Ness smiled then stood proudly then spoke. "Okay everyone I have an idea for a little thingy for Ike and Marth I mean they can't just have this right so they have to have more!" Ness walks around then smiles. "I already have an idea but I wanted to know if any of you wanted something in all of this!" Almost every raises their hands, Villager speaks first.
"Maybe we could have it in Smashvile, K.K. Slider could perform for them for free!" Ness smiles at his suggestion.
"Yeah and then we could take them back inside and give them a sky ride in Skyloft!" Toon Link adds as well, the fee adults that were hear finally spoke up.
"Um but that if we can't get them to there, of course they'll think something is going on..." She adds(2) Ness pouts.
"See this is why I didn't invite you adults here..." I hear him grumble and chuckle slightly he turns toward me.
"Do you have any ideas?" I shake my head then sit up right in my chair.
"No I don't. And actually why did you drag me here in the first place?" Ness sighs.
"Because your good friends with (Y/N) So I thought you might be able to give some really creative ideas!" Kirby chimes in.
"Cause were dead here!" He says in a more then cute voice softening the blow of the words. I sigh then think for a second then stand up.
"Well this may not be an 'idea' but how about we get everyone who is in a relationship in on this and have a double, double, double, double, how ever many there are and get them all together and have a huge feast just with them. Then after we could give them presents in congratulations to there... whatever commitment thing" I shy off of the last part when Ness smiles brightly.
"See I knew adults could be useful! That mean I can..." He shakes his head before he says anything more then moves on.
"Were going with your plan Little Mac!" He walks over to me as does everyone else.
"Oh I know how about we have the dinner date at Mario Galaxy!" Jr. says over excitedly his brother and sister all look to him.
"Really you wanna go there?" Wendy says with a snide tone, he turns to her and sticks his tongue out.
"Shut up, your just upset that you don't have anyone to go with~" She growls then goes over to him.
"Look who's talking!" He smiles then rests back in his clown car.
"I don't need anyone; everyone thinks I'm adorable anyways unlike you!" They go back and fort with this pointless argument but I cut them both off.
"Well that's a great idea that stars and everything will be romantic... I guess" Everyone nods then Sheik stands up next to them all.
"So should I start telling people to bring gifts?" Ness giggles.
"Yeah great presents, no hugs presents!" Villager says throwing his arms up in the air. I smile then nod.
"So should we keep this a secret from Marth and Ike?" I ask, Ness shrugs then goes back to the middle of the room.
"Who wants to keep it a secret!" He looks around and counts the hands up which is only four. "Ok four, who wants to tell them?" Everyone else raises their hands making it 4:9. "Alright common Link, Villager lets go tell them!" They cheer then follow them out Sheik sighs then joins them probably knowing that if a bunch of kids told them they wouldn't be able to do much. I stayed behind about to leave when the last 'adult' walked over to me and spoke with a galactic voice.
"That idea of yours was smart; I was afraid that we were going to be here for ever trying to think of something." Rosalina giggles and I shrug not trying to trail this on. "But are you going alone?" I shrug again then stuff my hands in my pocket.
"No... yes I don't know I might not even go at all." She giggles then glides to my front.
"I know what your thinking, and no I'm not going to ask you I was just asking in place of someone else." She looks at me with her deep blue eyes, I take a breath then shake my head.
"Man how do you know this stuff, I don't even know this yet..." She giggles then touches my shoulder.
"I'm just more than used to thinking about stuff like this; plus I was doing someone a favor for someone..." I look back to her.
"For who?" She giggles then grabs her Luma and shakes her head.
"You'll find out soon enough but just remember sometimes your answer is always the least expected" I just look at her when she says that leaving the room. What kind of help is that, now it's just making me more confused! I groan then just try to remove all these thoughts from my head by practicing for a little while then going to bed.
The morning comes and I wake up late as usual seeing as how there's never any good food left when I get there but it's enough for breakfast. I get my food then just sit alone at a table eating slowly, then I hear the familiar voice of Cronus and Takamaru speaking naively, she sees me then drags him over to where I am.
"Hey Mac!" I smile finally not having to worry about attention from her.
"It's odd to see you here, normally your in your room" She shrugs.
"Yeah but Taki here had been forcing me to 'explore' more I hate it honestly" He sighs.
"Well I don't mean to force you..." Takamaru's english comes out broken but fluent. She giggles then tightens the grip she has around his arm.
"Your not I just say that~" He smiles then I decided to speak.
"When did you learn English?" She answers for him.
"Well I've been teaching him when ever he's off, he's so natural though! I thought it was going to take a lot longer just to even get him to say that but he's amazing!" I snicker, she fumes. "What's so funny, Mac?" She says my name without the little part, a habit I happened to see whenever she got mad.
"Oh it's nothing it's just that you seem to praise him a lot, I'm sensing a lot of romance here" I say it in a sing song voice, her face changes a bunch of colors before stopping at a dark red. I chuckle at her knowing that romance is something she hates to hear about.
"S-shut up Mac... I-I just happen to be around Taki a lot a-alright!" I scoff.
"Cause you love him" She slams her hand down nearly cracking the table. Takamaru grabs a hold of her arms calming her down slightly.
"You know I hate it when you do that... boy am I glad I'm not going to that thing of yours." She sits back down with her arms crossed angrily. I look at her then remember
"Oh the thing for Marth and Ike?" She nods "Why I was more then sure I was going to see you all over Marth and Ike" She shakes her head.
"As much as I want to it's just not my thing to have fancy dinners and stuff like that" I chuckle.
"Yes many failed dates, I now get them right" She giggles.
"But I'm still going to get them a gift no matter what!" I nod then finish the last of my breakfast.
"Well good for you two but don't come asking me to do a bunch of stuff for you cause I won't." She nods and walks with me over to the trash can.
"Oh I forgot to ask, are you going?" I feel my face heat up then I shake my head.
"Uh I don't know... I might be if I can ask this one person" She brightens up a bit.
"Ooo~ Who is it!" She nudges my arm, I brush her off then smile to myself.
"You'll just have to wait and see who I ask" She pouts then sighs
"Fine whatever, but still don't mess it up, I kind of don't want another fight happening outside of the stages" I chuckle "But if you need (Y/N) he/she is in a practice match with a bunch of fighters there probably leaving right now I bet" I nod then clear my throat realizing that I had caught my words when she said his/her's name.
"Okay thanks!" She smiles then takes Takamaru over to another empty table. I sigh then think. Maybe I should ask him/her about all of this I bet it would help clear out a lot of things... Right when i think that (Y/N) comes into the Dining room sighing slightly. I smile brightly then jog over to him/her.
"Hey (Y/N)!" He/She looks up and blushes before shyly waving to me. "Did you have a good match?" He/She looks down and shrugs.
"We won... so I guess I did!" A smile appears. I chuckle.
"That's good" He/She looks at me and speaks with curious eyes.
"Oh also I heard that you helped plan 'A night with Luma and Stars'!" I stare at him/her.
"Is that what there calling that...!? Uh I mean yeah I did actually do you like it?" He/She chuckles and nods.
"Yes I though it was sweet." He/She pauses "I'm sort of envious of them though..." That though comes to a soft ending; I look down.
"Really?" He/She nods.
"Yes... I think there friends are loving and deeply care for them, I try to help everyone and then but most times they don't need my help anyways..." I give His/Her's back a slap.
"Well don't, no one is always helpful it's just the right time and stuff" I smile making him/her as well.
"Thank you... but are you going?" I sigh inwardly, but shake my head anyways.
"No... unless I decided to ask someone" I feel like I've said this almost a thousand times now.
"Oh well... do you have anyone in mind?" I look down to (Y/N), deep blush and all and (E/C) eyes looking everywhere but at me.
"Actually I hadn't though of the person" I chuckle "I mean I should know this right, but I just don't know that person quiet yet... that's stupid right?" Oddly enough after living here you get used to blunt answers and it's strange to get an answer like this one here.
"Actually no, I kind of was going through the same thing... I feel like I should ask this one person but then again I don't know if I really want to ask this person for reasons that I can't even figure out" I smile. It's almost like he/she spoke my mind.
"Yeah that's how I feel! That's so weird how we have the problem." He/She chuckles then puts a hand behind there head like he/she is about to say something but never does. "Hey I want you to come back here later tonight I think I might have a answer to out problem" His/Her mouth stays agape before he/she closes it then nods shyly.
"Alright..."
After a couple of matches I go back to the dining room since everyone is finished eating and the entire room is empty.
"Yeah and Zelda was really upset that I didn't ask her. But I just don't want to; is that a crime?" Link says with disappointment in his voice, him and the M Fit Trainer talk at the door. (3)
"Well she really likes you, you are like her 'knight' after all" He groans "But don't worry unlike me you actually have someone who is brave enough to express themselves to you... I can't even ask (Y/N) out" That catches my ear and before I know it I find myself walking over to him.
"Um I didn't mean to listen to you but did you just say that you wanted to ask (Y/N)?" He nods.
"Yeah, I just thought it'd be nice to I do like him/her so don't think it's like pity or something" I just stare then speak.
"Well actually I was planning to ask him/her tonight actually... we seemed to have the same problem so I thought maybe I'd solve it" He smiles then gives my shoulder a fit slap.
"That's great, but if it doesn't work out would you mind if I asked?" I shake my head then smirk.
"Trust me it won't fail I'm too sweet for that to even happen!" They both chuckle then nod.
"Sure Mac, but anyways good luck!" Link says I smile then nod as they leave, I sit down at an empty table and rest my head on my hand while yawning. It's like almost midnight when I finally start to hear footsteps then I see (Y/N) come in with a certain look over his/her's face. I smile and stand up and go over to him/her.
"(Y/N)! I was starting to think you weren't going to show up!" (Y/N) looks up to me.
"Little Mac, can I say something?" I shrug not wanting to wonder so much on the subject. "Um I came here a bit to early and I heard something... you were talking to Link and Wii Fit Trainer?" I blush then nod.
"Yeah.." He/She goes on.
"Well I just wanted to say that, I feel sort of awkward and like I shouldn't even be here?" I look down to him/her.
"Why?" He/She starts to walk stopping a bit close to me.
"Because it's like the Wii Fit Trainer said, he was going to ask me because it was a nice gesture... but sometimes I take those 'nice gestures' a bit too far and I wind up getting hurt in the end. You can understand that can't you?" I nod.
"Yeah I can, but I'm not gonna do that because..." He/She look up at me with oddly big eyes, maybe it was juts the night that made them look bigger; I clear my throat. "Because I wasn't going to ask you because of a nice gesture, I was gonna ask you because I really like you" I see a a more than visible blush on his/her's face but I go on. "I though about it and you were the person I wanted to ask, and not because you were one of the only people who treated me the same after the tournament but because your really cool and your almost always there for me when I needed it; like today yeah everyone talked to me but after I heard that you had the same problem I felt like I could actually talk to you about it and not have to lie or do something else to make people understand it. That's why I wanted to ask you, I hope you still don't see it was that because I don't want you to force yourself to say yes to me just because I said all of this..." It's silent for a moment then he/she speaks.
"W-wow Little Mac... I didn't think you could say something like that" I look down at him/her.
"Why is it because I'm all brawn and no brain?" He/She laughs.
"Yeah a little; but still if you want to ask me then by all means go ahead there's no more pressure anymore" I smile.
"Well then would you go with me to dinner tomorrow night?" (Y/N) smiles brightly with a new blush, then he/she nods.
"Yes I would love to!"
I noticed how feminine this character is but it's hard to me to write a gender neutral story and not break it every now and then... but anyways sorry for this being so late it's just been so hectic at school with all the snow days and catching up with school work but (Hopefully) I should be back to normal with an update within a week. So I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I know I didn't!
(1): This is something that I've wanted to do for a while and I even made matching customs with Marth in white and Ike in black and named them both engaged, even if they can't be I'll ship it forever!... forgive me I need a life.
(2): Everyone in OOT called Sheik a guy so I decided to go the opposite and call Sheik a female, plus I noticed how many females I'm not using so this just helps me without a lot of work.
(3) I forgot to mention this in another chapter where I used this reference in. I made the Female Wii Fit Trainer and the Male Wii Fit trainer two separate characters, this just explains why I didn't want to use the Female Wii Fit Trainer right here mainly since I see an overused amount of Little MacxWii Fit Trainer so I just went with male to change it up a bit.
