WOW SORRY FOR THE SLOW UPDATE OMG let me explain what happened. Literally while typing the authors note for the last chapter, my friends all spontaneously showed up at my house. They took me out to a party and I didn't get home til late. Then I had to quickly pack and move out to my university. And I've just been settling and unpacking since then. So here I am FINALLY getting a chance to write. I'm so sorry.

Let's continue RIGHT where we were. It's a short chapter since I'm transitioning to a sort of big plot line

The pair headed to Zelda's room slowly. Link kept his arm around her protectively while she sniffled, mirroring the many nights that Link had to do the same thing after an attempted Ganondorf takeover. He sat next to her on the bed and rubbed her back to help her calm down.

"You don't have to cry, Princess. It's okay now. He won't be bothering you anymore," Link was itching to go and wanted her to calm faster.

"It's not that," Zelda sat up and pushed his hand away. "Link…" she looked at him. "How did you know I was in trouble?"

He shrugged, "I always know. It's always like this."

She gave him a curt smile, "Like usual, huh?"

"Yeah."

"That's why I'm upset," she sighed and began unbraiding her hair. "I don't want this to change. What happened the other night-"

Link tensed, "We're not talking about that."

"No," she glared at him. "We have to talk about that. Link, I don't want us to stop being friends. So what? It's a little crush. We're not little kids. We can control ourselves. It's not weird."

"That's the thing," Link stood up. "It is weird. I don't look at you that way."

"Do you really mean that?" Zelda faced him. "You've never liked me like that? After all these years?

"Well…" he shifted his weight from leg to leg. "Not anymore," he turned beet red. "I used to."

"What happened?"

"I thought you friend-zoned me."

"Oh, my God," Zelda burst out laughing. "Are you kidding me?"

Link was embarrassed, "Hey! That's not funny!"

"It's hilarious!" She disagreed. "I have been thinking the same thing all this time!"

Link had to smile at that, "This is ridiculous, isn't it?"

"We shouldn't be fighting or ignoring each other. Ever."

"For sure," he opened his arms for a hug. "Come here, Princess."

Zelda eagerly ran to him and dug her face into his strong chest. "Can we start over?"

"Start over?" he raised an eyebrow. "No way. I don't want to forget anything."

"But what about-"

Zelda was interrupted as her room door swung open. The two friends separated and peered at the intruder, Marth. "You guys," Marth waved, not phased at all by the scene in front of him. "We're watching a movie downstairs in the theater room. Wanna come?"

"I just got back from the movies." Zelda ached to get back to her alone time with Link. "And isn't it kind of late?"

"That's what's fun," Marth high-fived Link, who was walking towards him. "Don't be lame, Zelda."

"Fine," she rolled her eyes. "Is there pizza?"

"Not enough," Marth grumbled. "Crazy Hand had a go at it. We're making him order more."

They went downstairs and found the same friends from that afternoon chilling on theater chairs and getting pizza grease everywhere. Soda was the most prevalent drink, save for Samus's bourbon, since there were some kids present. A few boys were playing video games as they waited for others to arrive and settle.

"Oh, no, not this game," Link sat next to Ike and grabbed a controller. "Why are you playing this?"

Ike snickered. They were playing their own game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. "Because look what happens when you pause." He paused and zoomed in to his character, zero-suit Samus. "I just play her so I can get a good look at her tits. I think I get luckier in the game than in real life."

"Wait, wait, check this out," Captain Falcon walked his character, Ike, closer to Samus. He put Ike close enough that their bodies were almost morphed together.

Ike then had Samus bend down. "Look! She's blowing me!" He joined the other guys in uproarious laughter.

"Asshole," Samus threw pizza crust at the back of Ike's head. "I don't do that shit."

"You're more of a prude than Zelda," Ike picked up the crust and ate it.

"Hey!" Zelda feigned hurt and found a seat near Peach.

Pit was sitting right next to Samus and indulging in a bowl of ice cream with her. "They've got to knock it off," he muttered. "Do you want some more?"

Samus shook her head, "You can have the rest." She watched as he excitedly devoured the whole bowl. She brought her legs to her chest and wrapped her arms around her knees, all while looking at him happily.

Pit slowly stopped eating and cocked his head, "What?"

"Nothing," Samus blushed and smiled. "You should have gotten ice cream for yourself from the start."

He nervously shook his hair into his eyes, "I wanted to share with you."

"You're really the sweetest," Samus bit her lip the second she blurted that out. Just as she was about to take it back, Pit's face brightened considerably. Maybe this was the right thing for her.

The lighting in the room dimmed and people began to quiet down as the screen went black for the movie. Samus decided to go where no woman had gone before and inched a tiny bit closer to Pit, almost resting her head on his shoulder. Pit knew what she was doing. He became anxious, worried that he was going to make the wrong move, and held his breath. They both sat there unmoving.

Link jumped into his usual spot next to Zelda. He had his arm around her shoulders, as always, but something this time felt a little awkward. He pulled his arm away and kept it tight to his side instead. Zelda just sighed and grabbed a blanket, covering herself with it. As the movie went on, Link had wrapped the blanket around himself as well, and they were back in their comfort zone.

Peach was sitting with Bowser. She had first reluctantly agreed to cuddle, but was soon very overtly snuggling into him. A kiss scene came along in the movie and they quietly made out, much to the chagrin of Ike, who was sitting across the room and glaring at them. Ike wasn't even paying attention to the movie and chose to fume in envy.

The movie night wasn't turning out to be a good idea. The group of friends would barely laugh or react to anything. The kids that joined them were too uncomfortable to say anything. Even Pit and Samus stiffened in discomfort when a sex scene came on.

"Holy shit," Marth said as the movie finished. "You could cut the sexual tension in here with a knife."

Link shot him a glance, "What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm saying, right Ike?" Marth nudged his friend.

"Shut the fuck up, man, I'm going to bed." Ike stood up.

"Hey, don't be a party pooper!" Marth laughed. "Why don't we all do something exciting again? It's not fun anymore and you're all acting weird."

"Fuck off. I'm not part of your group." Bowser said in disgust.

"Yes you are. You're friends with my friends." Peach wagged her finger at him. He just snarled in response.

"Let's go out or something. We haven't been out in a while." Marth stood in front of the screen. "Any ideas?"

"Clubbing?" Ike suggested. A dark, crowded floor would be a perfect place for him to get his hands on his princess.

"No, something adventurous," Marth pulled out his phone to look for ideas.

"I'm not going on any adventures," Link shook his head. "I do that way too much back home. I'm here to take a break."

"A break…how about vacation?" Pit suggested.

"This is why we keep you around!" Marth fist bumped Pit. "Let's go on vacation! Just for a weekend!"

"We have to go to the beach," Zelda smiled coyly. "I want to get a tan."

"You need one, honey," Peach said. "And I love that idea."

"Same here," Ike was quick to agree.

"I hate the water," Bowser growled.

"Well, you're coming whether you like it or not," Peach scolded.

"Bowser's so whipped," Link sniggered.

"Pussy game too strong," Captain Falcon chuckled to himself.

"Get out. You're not invited," Peach told him.

"So that settles it!" Marth clapped his hands. "I'll call my girlfriend and we'll go to the beach this weekend! I'll have Master Hand reserve us a hotel."

"No way," Samus spoke up. "A beach house. Oceanfront."

"Didn't know the bounty hunter was so fancy," Ike winked. "But that's a great plan. Let's do it."

AN: Okay that's done. It was a brutal one, I know, but we gotta get into the beaCH SHIT AW YEAH. You WILL get a sex scene next chapter. I will try to write one for each part of the beach plot line I post. I dont know how many parts I will write, maybe one, maybe 5. Who knows. All teh secks. Which couple do you want me to focus on?
