Hey there! ZPF here! So, DarkTayl gave me the best idea to introduce the pairings! This small arc! I already explained this, but whatever...

NOTHING IS OWNED BY ME!

ONWARDS!


Selene stared at Toon Link in slight shock for three seconds. Why him?! He's only a friend... But when Toon blushed, Selene looked away.

To prevent wanted selections, each Smasher playing put their custom Wii-motes in a box. Selene felt like she was blushing a brighter shade of red than Young Link did on the day she arrived. Once the Smashers put all the Wii-motes in the box, Pit held it out for Selene. She flinched and looked at the angel in front of her, who smiled in return, saying "I know what you're thinking. 'What if I pick someone I don't know?', well, don't worry about it!"

Selene looked at the box and stuck her hand in, looking away at Alex, who was across the room talking to Zelda. She smiled until her hand hit a certain Wii-mote. She didn't know how it felt different, but it did. Almost as if... It was her destiny to pick it out of the five others... She gripped it and pulled it out. Toon yelped in surprise as his vampire friend looked at the one she picked.

...It was Toon's...


Alex stuck by Sonic the Werehog and Mega Man most of the time. Eventually, he caught sight of Zelda, who was wearing a lavender-colored dress. Z-Zelda... She looks... Amazing.

Sonic looked over at what Alex was staring at and grinned. "I see you like Zelda over there," He said, pointing a clawed finger at the Hylian princess. "Go and talk to her! Be yourself!" He patted Alex on the back hard, nearly knocking him over.

"I... I don't really know her that well, though..." Alex replied.

"Well, get to know her by talking! Don't just stand there! What's the worst that can happen?"

Alex gulped and walked towards Zelda, nervous beyond belief. When he got closer, he noticed Zelda seemed to be alone. However, she looked heartbroken. When Alex got to her, he didn't know what to say. Eventually, he came up with this:

"W-what's the matter? Are you okay?"

Zelda jumped and looked at Alex in surprise. "I-I didn't know you were right there!"
Alex sweatdropped. "I'm good at being quiet..."
"Y-yes... I suppose so..." Zelda looked away at Link, who was by the punch bowl, talking to Roy.
"So... Onto the question from earlier... What's wrong?"
Zelda quickly turned her head towards Alex. "N-nothing! What makes you think something's wrong?"
"You keep on looking at Link like you're disappointed."
"Oh... Well, we were a couple... But he broke up with me..."
Alex wanted to say Why on earth would he do that?! He was lucky to have you!, but he figured it would be a bit much. So instead he replied with "Oh. I'm sorry to hear that."
Zelda smiled a little and looked away. "That's okay. We weren't really going out or seeing each other much, anyway."

Alex looked at Sonic, who smiled and gave a thumb's up.

"So, what do you think of the mansion so far, Alex?"
"I love the place. I'm having a great time. I just don't want the tournament to end..."
"Someone told you what happens?"
"Yeah, but its inevitable. I can't demand to Master Hand for us to remember this."
"A few people here have tried... But they just got booted from the games."
"Oh, so Roy, Pichu, Mewtwo, Young Link and Dr. Mario all tried to convince Master Hand?"
"Yes. That is how they got their 'Melee Reject' nickname. They were replaced or just taken out when Brawl was planned for release because of what happened here. They can still fight, but they aren't on the Brawl roster, so they can only fight veterans."

The rest of the night, Alex and Zelda talked. Alex never even thought about how Selene was the whole time.


Pit smiled and patted Toon on the shoulder. "Alright, seven minutes!"

Then Pit pushed Selene and Toon into a small closet and closed thee door. "I'll set up a timer for you guys!"

For about a minute, there was silence. Selene refused to talk to Toon, and vice versa. Finally, Toon spoke up.

"I didn't expect this."

Selene looked up. "Neither did I."

Toon turned to Selene and did the unexpected. He grabbed and kissed her. He then turned away once more.

Selene stared in shock. "Toon... What...?"

Though Selene didn't see it, Toon smiled. He did what he wanted to do for a long time. "I had no other idea on how I should tell you, so this is what I did."

"Toon... I..."

"I know how you must feel. It would be awkward for us to be a couple after being friends for so long. But that's fi-"

Toon was cut off from a pair of lips colliding with his. Selene just kissed him right back. When she pulled back, she said a small sentence that spoke a thousand words.

"I feel the same way, Toony."


Okay, so now some romance has finally come in! ISN'T THAT GREAT?! Also, I'm working on a one-shot with a fellow author (which will be revealed when it is posted) that will be dedicated to a friend of ours who no longer walks the Earth. Yes, it may be sad, but this friend (which will also be revealed) is in a better place.
