*…Smash the Holidays Away…*

They had met in the kitchen. It had only taken a stray glance, a mix up of words, and a special understanding for it to just click together. They knew that they belonged with each other, and there was nothing that anyone could do to separate them.

As Kirby leaned in closer to Yoshi, their destiny together would be almost complete.

……

No. Just…No. The Hyrulian princess awoke with a scream, which in turn caused Peach, her roommate to yell as well. Zelda began to hyperventilate as she ran out the door, leaving Peach in a wake of confusion. After the princess had slammed the door shut, she darted around blindly, her mind still blurred with the dream's events. She didn't notice the wall in front of her as she ran into it.

Strange. This wall was fairly muscular.

And blue.

…Did it have arms?

"Zelda…are you ok? Look where you're going next time…" Now the Hyrulian was fairly sure that the thing in front of her was in fact, not an inanimate object like she had first assumed.

"Zelda…" Ike's voice drew the brunette out of her little thinking corner. Seeing her attention finally fall on him, he smirked. "What, you so captivated by my good looks? Not that I should really complain, as they have a tendency to make beautiful young ladies just run into my arms…"

"Ike. You can let go of me now." Zelda replied with a frown, completely ignoring what he had just said. Ike faked a pout.

"I'm heartbroken, princess." He replied with hurt in his voice as he dramatically released his hold on her. Even though she knew it was only for show, Zelda couldn't help but to roll her eyes.

"I'm the heartbroken one…" A voice spoke from behind them. The pair turned to look at the speaker, who sounded fairly depressed. They found Roy, back hunched and a pitiful expression of his face, leaning against the walls of the corridor.

"Roy? Are you ok?" Zelda asked out of concern. Roy simply shook his head.

"You look like you got served to someone on a plate; they ate you and chewed you out like how Samus chews out anyone who touches Pikachu. They then digested you-"

"Ike." The princess's voice interrupted the mercenary in his mini-rant. "First of all, I don't want to know what comes next. Secondly, you could have just said 'You look like shit'. And furthermore…that was just plain wrong." After reprimanding the swordsman, she turned her attention back to Roy. "Well, other than what Ike pointed out, what's wrong?"

Roy heaved a deep sigh before he responded. "I got in an argument with Peach. I don't' really know what it was about, cause all I really do remember was that she yelled. A lot. And I really wanted to make her New Year's special…"

"Oh Roy…Don't worry. It'll be ok. How about this? Let's go down to the kitchen and get you a drink. Then we'll talk more." Zelda spoke sympathetically, all while patting the redhead's back. As the two walked down the hall, Ike figured that he would go check out the Mushroom princess's take on this. He tapped sharply 3 times on the door, and waited for answer. A flustered Peach opened the door, still trying to calm herself down from Zelda' shrieks.

"You're girlfriend really did a number on my hair." She muttered still trying to fix her blond tresses.

"Not…Not my girlfriend!" Ike cried out indignantly. With a wave of her hand, Peach disregarded the mercenary's cries. Ike shifted his gaze out the window, then back at the princess. "I heard that you got in a fight with Roy. What happened?" He could see Peach visibly stiffen after he said that.

"Nothing! Nothing's wrong!" She spoke louder, though the swordsman could detect a wavering feeling from her voice.

"You're lying." Ike sang with a teasing tone. Peach muttered something under her breath. Ike continued to tease the Mushroom princess. "Come on. It's not like it was about anything importan-" Ike was cut off when Peach suddenly clenched onto his arm and started to weep. This in turn, caused Ike to panic his little head off.

'Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod! Is she crying? Why is she crying? Did I make her cry?' Ike's jumbled thoughts mirrored Peaches muddled sobs.

"A-And it wasn't even important! W-why did I make him so s-sad?!"

…:::|:::…

Zelda left Roy to himself for a little as to allow him to think. The Hyrulian princess smiled slightly as she saw his mood improve. As she pushed open the door to the kitchen to get some tea for him to drink, she stopped suddenly.

Yoshi and Kirby were talking amiably with each other, in a way similar to her dream. Kirby suddenly moved closer towards the green dinosaur. Yoshi nodded and came closer as well, but not before Zelda let out a quick yelp. The two friends stopped in their tracks and turned towards the princess, who was currently covering her ears and muttering 'I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything…'.

"Poyo?" Kirby spoke questioningly, almost as if he was asking Yoshi as to why the Hyrulian was having a panic attack. Yoshi shrugged, and held his piece of bread out to the pink puffball. Kirby nodded as he placed his bread on top of Yoshi's, making what looked to be a very fashionable peanut butter and jelly sandwich. As the two friends cheered at their success of creating their breakfast, Roy burst into the room.

"Zelda! Zelda! Are you ok?" He ran over to the princess and shook her out of her own little world. Zelda opened her eyes, and glanced nervously at Yoshi and Kirby.

"Um…Yeah. I'll be fine. Um…how are you and Peach though? That's the important matter." She could see Roy stiffen as soon as she had said that. Then he started…sniffling? "Hey, Roy…you gotta-ACK!" Zelda started, but was cut off as Roy lunged at her.

"It's not fair! I-it's just not…" The rest of his words failed to reach the princess's ears as she started to panic. Sure, she could handle a few depressed people, but it was when they actually started crying on her that she needed help. She noticed Kirby and Yoshi edge closer to investigate.

"Hey! Yoshi! Could you do me a favor?" She whispered to the dinosaur. Yoshi blinked, and pointed towards himself as to check. Zelda nodded her head vigorously and motioned for him to come closer. "I need you to check on Ike! He's upstairs, and I want you to bring him down! Tell him I need help!" The dinosaur nodded with a salute and began to run upstairs. Kirby glanced at his friend, and then looked at Zelda.

"Poyo?" The pink smasher spoke with a questioning tone. It took Zelda a while to get the message, but she soon smiled at the Star Warrior.

"Thanks for offering to help Kirby. You'd be really helpful if you got me a drink…"

…:::|:::…

Ike was faring no better than Zelda in this situation. Beyond Peach's undistinguishable cries and her constant habit of hitting his chest every single time she said Roy's name (which occurred a lot); Ike really couldn't decide whether to offer sympathy or to run away. It wasn't until something green flashed by the doorway that Ike regained some courage. He looked down at the blond princess that was still sobbing.

"Peach. Yo, don't worry. It'll all be ok, right Yoshi?" The mercenary called out to the dinosaur that had passed by the doorway. Yoshi stuck his head into the room, cheering. The green smashed wandered into the room and nudged the princess, who seemed to have calmed down considerably. When she laid her cerulean eyes on the dinosaur, she burst into tears again, except this time, she clung onto Yoshi. The green smasher cried out in surprise as she hugged onto him tighter. Ike mouthed a 'thank you' as he ran downstairs.

Only to collide with Kirby full force. Ike blinked as he hit the floor. He blinked again as Kirby did a little dance. Honestly, it would have been quite adorable if he didn't fear for his life right now. He had learned his lesson. You do not want to be on the wrong end of a princess. Ever. He kinda pitied Roy right now. He only hoped that Zelda fared better than him.

…:::|:::…

After Kirby had left to follow his friend, this in turn had left Zelda alone with a moping Roy. A Roy who continued to cry into her shoulder. Painfully so. Every time that he mentioned the Mushroom princess's name, he somehow managed to ram his head sharply into her shoulder.

What the heck was his head made of? To make matters worse, everything that the princess tried to say to comfort the swordsman only ended up making him sulk even more. There was no end!

At least, until someone had decided to pull the redhead off of her. She barely caught a glance of Ike (at least, she though it was) dragging Roy off to god knows where. As she pulled herself off the ground she faintly heard the sounds of a door opening, a few cries, and then said door locking.

Zelda raised an eyebrow at Ike as he walked back into the kitchen. "What was that about?"

"Figured that the only people who could make the situation better were Roy and Peach, not us. I locked them in a room. 12 hours later, we'll see how they did."

"12 hours? Isn't that a little…extreme?"

"They'll be fine." Zelda rolled her eyes, but still smiled. But she couldn't shake the feeling that they had forgotten something…

…:::|:::…

As awesome as their peanut butter and jelly sandwich was, it couldn't make up for the living hell that was now. Yoshi continued to be strangled by Peach's iron grip, and she was still sobbing about how sorry she was. Roy refused to come out of his little corner, not matter how hard Kirby tried. They two friends just hoped that someone would unlock that door. Fast.


I couldn't think of a better ending for this.

SORRY!!!

Also, I will be fixing a typo in the last chapter later. Please ignore the update.
