QBH: I couldn't contain myself. This chapter is a bit romantic heavy so warning for those who never like the romantic stuff although the title should tell you that already. (This also doesn't mean I'll update quickly like this so expect a new one in July.)

Back at the topic: Up next is the Ice Climbers

Ice Climbers: Yup!

QBH: The Ice Climbers, whose infamous for the chaingrabs but since i have life I never get to do that even when I want it to. The 2 for 1 character thing is a unique approach to the game and they have a good ground move and decent amount of specials.

Ice Climbers: So far so good. (Jumping up and down!) So what is the weakness.

QBH: Ice Climbers has one of the worse tractions except on icy surfaces. The partner is necessary and effectiveness depends on with the partner being with you the Playable character. KO the partner and the sole Ice climber is already seeking a KO wish. The final smash is pathethic and has a subpar aerials.

Ice Climbers: So what is the verdict?

QBH: The ice climbers to me is a good choice due to their effectives though I still have issues with them but their not bad on tournaments seen on youtube which always amaze me due to their chaingrabbing ability. So I wouldn't say the character is bad but it takes patience to learn them.

Ice Climbers: Now since you are done with Melee characters, who is the first Brawl released character?

QBH: Well, I would give the floor next time to another MOTHER character: Lucas. Enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 11: Let's have a Date

(Guess the game show reference!)

Luigi wasn't much in a hurry to get back home and decided to take a slow route back to Peach's Castle. Along the way his mind is full of insecure thoughts.

"Man, Link really has a weird sense of humor. Remind me to slam him down at the floor if that happens again" … Luigi's Thoughts

"Still, I never got myself this lucky before. Waking up into a new world then meeting a princess, defeating a villain, tag-teaming with my bro, having assaulted by a bird and then scoring a date with Zelda all in just one day." Luigi thoughts

Surprisingly while walking into Flat Zone he come across two other people he hasn't met yet; one is a 2D sprite and the other looks like his brother except wearing a doctor uniform.

"It seems we have another person coming this way and he looks like you." 2D Sprite

"Now that you mention it, he does look familiar. Okay stranger, name and occupation please!" Doctor

"Mario? What are you doing wearing a doctor's outfit? The name is Luigi and I'm a plumber." Luigi

"The name is Doctor Mario to you! Wait is there someone who's Mario?" Doctor Mario

"Well Mario told me he had another profession of being a doctor before. So you are the doctor?" Luigi

"Huh… If that is the case, I should meet the original Mario then. Wait how many professions does the real Mario have?" Doctor Mario

"Don't know. And who is the 2D sprite man by the way?" Luigi

"The name is Mr. Game and Watch. You should be grateful. I am the oldest resident in this world." Mr. Game and Watch

"Then what year were you born?" Luigi

"1980 and everything was simple back then." Mr. Game and Watch

"Wow, it was nice meeting you two but I got things to do. See you around." Luigi waved and left

"Nice fellow, maybe we could meet other people if we keep looking some more don't you think?" Doctor Mario

"Absolutely, but now let's have some sausages for dinner." Mr. Game and Watch

It didn't take long for Luigi to finally return back to Peach's Castle. Mario who was training with Peach earlier about the Smash world is lying flat on his back very tired.

"Mario? What happened? Did Peach tire you out?" Luigi

"Yeah, Peach sure has an excellent move set than both of us. She would be fine." Mario

"I am sorry, Mario. I didn't realize my strength. Oh! You are back, Luigi!" Peach that is carrying a first aid kit.

"So you found Link?" Mario

"Yeah and I met some of our old friends and new ones as well. Oh, Link introduced me to his friend, another Princess in his world. I also ran into you being Doctor too." Luigi

"So there are more people here now too. Well that is fine, the more the merrier." Mario

"We may as well greet the others too while we are at it." Peach

"Once we settle down let us call all the smashers at a common place to welcome all the residents then." Mario

"Yeah that's a great idea." Luigi

Luigi didn't want to bother Mario getting Peach's attention as she tries to apply first aid to him and left and was soon busy checking things in his room in Peach's Castle.

Sometime later, glancing at the clock, it was 6:00 so Luigi went to take a quick shower then pick out his outfit for his date. Seeing that his white costume make his skin feel darker and his red costume would mistakenly think he is gay, he picks his blue costume then. After calming himself down, he locked his room and sneak past Peach's room where she and Mario where enjoying some cake. (Reader's own judgment!) After sneaking past and leaving the castle, he still feels nervous since it is his first date and he wanted to make a good impression. As he was heading to Hyrule Temple, he finally became calm and relaxes knowing that this date isn't something to get all worked up about.

Zelda however was calm, as the wind entered into her room. After freshening herself up, she isn't sure what outfit she wanted to wear for her date. She has 4 colors to choose from other than her standard pink; she has a choice of red, blue, green or white. She wanted to at least be presentable so she decided to go for a green look due to seeing Luigi wearing a green shirt though his blue overalls stick out more. After gazing herself in the mirror and fixing her hair, she felt nervous.

"Why am I so nervous? I am just having a date with someone who I just met and did something thoughtful and meaningful. Still, maybe I am just too shy to know better and I guess something good might come out from this date." Zelda

As soon as she finished freshening up, she sat at the main hall lobby and waited.

Luigi has arrived at Hyrule Temple but he didn't want to actually knock the door since he didn't to face Link but as he slowly opened the door, Zelda was there to greet him.

"Oh! Good evening, Luigi." Zelda

"Yes. Good evening, Zelda. You look pretty wearing jade green." Luigi

"Ah Thanks! You don't look bad in blue either." Zelda

"Aw shucks, shouldn't we get going then?" Luigi open the door and stretched his hand.

Zelda blushed but immediately gave a modest response.

"You don't have to so formal to me just because I am princess you know. I just wanted to be not associated with that title anyway. Please?" Zelda

Luigi frankly apologized and soon enough they left.

The Fountain of Dreams is a calm and serene place with the stars and night sky shimmering quietly. Luigi and Zelda couldn't contain their awe and wonder.

"I have never seen such beauty of a stage before, it all looks so unreal." Luigi

"Yes, I may start to like this new world and get used to the chaos." Zelda

After admiring the scenery, Luigi and Zelda sat at a nearby bench and began talking.

"Zelda, I was so rude to you during our first meeting earlier, I mean throwing you out of harm's way like an idiot." Luigi while he is rubbing his head with his hand.

"No, Luigi. It is fine. I understand why you did that to me in the first place. Since fighting Ganondorf while also keeping an eye on me would be too much of a hassle and my inexperience would cause us both harm than good." Zelda stretched out her hand at his shoulder to assure him.

Luigi could help but smile back at her.

"You have been awfully nice to me, Zelda. Normally, I wouldn't get this kind of treatment. This is the first time someone accepts my company." Luigi then shifted his head away so to hide his embarrass face.

"Well since you have been kind to me, it would be fair in return act nice back to you. So…" Zelda

Without a hesitation or shyness, Zelda gave a kiss on Luigi's cheek. Luigi couldn't help himself but turn his whole face red, nearly faint and fall of the bench.

"Zelda, what…, what was that for? I mean right out of the blue?" Luigi still flustered

Zelda couldn't help herself but give a soft giggle, smile and spoke: "So you never had been given a thank you kiss before?"

"I, uh… yeah. Zelda It is nice of you to do that but I don't deserve such a thing." Luigi panicking and after calming down walked up the fountain staring at the sky.

"Since I became a citizen in this world, I get no respect. I am being treated like a joke by the others and everything happening now all feels like a dream, which couldn't possibly be real. " Luigi

Zelda felt terrible about the direction the conversation went since she wanted to have a pleasant evening for the two of them. So she got up from the bench and gently touched Luigi's left shoulder and gave a confidant smile.

"Luigi, I may not know everything yet about this world and your personal history but I still know that you don't have to see yourself too negatively. What you have done for me today is real. You have shown me how much a good person you are and you don't have to compare yourself to all the great people in this world…" Zelda

"Like Link?" Luigi turn to face Zelda

"Especially Link!" Zelda

Back at Hyrule Temple, Link while having the place all to him had a sneezing fit.

Both gave a laugh for a little while but the mood went back to the tranquil silence like the stage.

Luigi with his mood enlightened turn to face Zelda and without hesitation gave her a warm hug. Zelda is now flustered by the gesture until Luigi spoke.

"Zelda. Thank you. I am really grateful meeting someone like you, a good friend. That speech although long, really something I needed." Luigi

Zelda was speechless but after feeling Luigi's genuine warmth she finally spoke.

"Luigi, just meeting you, I can't explain why but I could feel your sadness. This emptiness you feel could maybe be the reason but that is not the only thing. I gladly want to be your friend. You couldn't be such a lame person in my eyes, so when something bothers you, you can count on me for support." Zelda

"Zelda…" Luigi

The hug lasted a little longer than necessary but both let go immediately and retreated back to normal conversation.

"I am sorry for putting that stunt back there earlier, Luigi." Zelda

"No, it is just I wasn't used to that kind of reward before and actually shunning something I wanted is really a stupid move. So everything is cool." Luigi

"I am glad, so everything is okay just between us?" Zelda

"Yeah, let us not tell Link everything that happened just now." Luigi

"Agreed, we must not tell Link although I would like us to continue to have more dates if you don't mind since there is still so much we have to talk about and get to know each other more." Zelda

"Really?" Luigi bashfully

Zelda couldn't help herself to give a soft giggle: 'Of course, I am your friend after all."

"That's sweet of you. You are still willing to accept me after everything that happened until now?" Luigi

Zelda getting slight annoyed but still assures him.

"Luigi, if you have shown me your confidence during the meet with Ganondorf then you should have the same kind of confidence to yourself." Zelda

"Your right. Wow, time flies when we talk about my personal issues. Can we talk about something else then?" Luigi

"Then would I want to explain to you about myself instead?" Zelda

"If you want to … then be my guest." Luigi

Zelda obliged and talked a bit about herself and Luigi at least responded with all ears. They spent the next hour or so talking back and forth and enjoying the company.

(10:45pm)

"Look, it is getting really late." Luigi

"Aw, I still wanted to spend more of my time with you." Zelda

Luigi blushed much to Zelda's delight

"Come on, it is not that I wouldn't be around you that long. You are overacting a bit, I am grateful for your concern, your highness!" Luigi sneered

"Call me that again and the next time we are alone I will knock you out, strip off your pants, inflict magic all over your body and rape you while you are out cold." Zelda as she gave a nicely death glare with a smile.

Luigi in all honesty is terrified and shocked by what Zelda so politely said that he froze in fear. Although in his deepest wants he wouldn't mind if he is going to be assaulted by a girl he now likes.

"Re… really? Will you do such a thing like that? Luigi cowering in fear.

"No, I am just pulling a fast one on you. I am too much of a kind person to do such a thing. Or do you want me too?" Zelda

"Uh… NO! (beat) It's fine. I guess there is also a harsh side in you I bet. (Sigh) Still I have to escort you back to Hyrule Temple." Luigi

"Okay then lead away." Zelda

The atmosphere between the two was still pleasant as they walked back to Hyrule Temple and later as they reached the front door.

"I had an interesting time, Luigi. We should spend some more time together." Zelda

"Yes, so do I. Good Night then and I'll be seeing you soon." Luigi

Luigi then gave a wave goodbye and took a few steps before Zelda interrupted:

"Uh… Luigi." Zelda then became silent

As soon as Luigi turn his head back, Zelda gave him a Good Night kiss on his forehead.

"Good Night." Zelda

"Yes, the same to you too." Luigi then turning read like a thermometer

As soon as he said that, Luigi immediately dashed as fast as he could back to Peach's Castle. Zelda however continue to smile and admire her new friend until he disappeared though she noted she wouldn't mess with him too much but she couldn't help herself since she felt so comfortable with a person who accepts her.

QBH: Up next is one of my mains and used characters in Brawl: Lucas!

Lucas: Aww shucks!

QBH: Lucas surprisingly has good offensive tools, fast attacks, a good grab range, strength in throws and interesting use of his specials.

Lucas: Cool but what makes me vulnerable then is it like Ness?

QBH: No, Lucas does not have problems in his offense set and his defense is efficiently good although his aerials have limited use, there is short-range and strong lag and his recovery options are limited.

Lucas: The overall answer?

QBH: Lucas to me is good as a character though I work around some of his moves when it comes to their efficiency. So there is nothing bad with him, but I play him mostly as my non-mario related character.

Lucas: Alright now who is next in this roster?

QBH: We are now moving on to the third-party characters and were now starting with the stealth master himself: Snake!

So tune in soon for the next chapter!
