Chapter Fifty Four: Starlight Love Part Nine: Friendship

"This is very nice." Peach said to Bowser, who was sitting across from her as they ate at the diner. "But, you didn't have to do this."

"Meh." Bowser said. "I felt like it. Plus, you and I haven't had a meal alone yet."

"Yeah." Peach said, thinking. "I guess we haven't."

"So" Bowser said, shrugging. "I figured we should."

"Well" Peach said, smiling shyly. "I'm enjoying myself."

"Good." Bowser said. "I figured you would."

"So" Peach asked. "What do they usually have at this diner that's good?"

"Well" Bowser said. "Their breakfast is usually good. So is their lunch."

"Okay.' Peach said, nodding. They picked up their menus, looking over them to see what they wanted.

"Can I get you anything?" the waitress asked, coming over to them.

"I'll take a Koopa Cola.' Bowser said. "Cherry."

"I'll take a vanilla." Peach said, her tone shy.

"Coming right up." The waitress said, nodding as she went to get their stuff.

"So" Bowser asked Peach. "What do you want to do after this?"

"I" Peach said, thinking. "I don't know."

"Well" Bowser said. "We could go see a movie. Do you wanna do that?"

"Sure." Peach said, smiling. "That could be fun."

"Alright then.' Bowser said. "Right after this then?"

"Sure." Peach said, smiling. She really enjoyed spending time with Bowser. She couldn't understand why, but it just brought happiness to her. Sure, he was pretty much the best friend she'd ever had, but she still couldn't explain why he made her feel so happy when he was near her. It made her feel kinda tingly and she could feel herself getting warmer on her cheeks.

"Great." Bowser said as their drinks arrived, both taking sips of their drinks.

"How's yours?" Bowser asked.

"G-good." Peach said, nodding. "How about yours?"

"It's good." Bowser said. "Just like always."

"That's good." Peach said, smiling.

"Yep." Bowser said.

"Anything for food?" the waitress asked, coming back over.

"Yeah." Bowser said, nodding. "I'll take a steak. Extra rare."

"Coming right up." The Waitress said before turning to Peach. "What about you?"

"I" Peach said, scanning her menu. "I'll take some bacon and eggs."

"Okay." The waitress said, heading back into the kitchen.

"So" Bowser asked Peach. "You like eggs, huh?"

"Y-yeah." Peach said, nodding.

"Didn't peg ya for it.' Bowser said, nodding.

"Well" Peach said. "now ya know."

"Yep. Bowser said, nodding. "Now I do."

"And knowing is half the battle." Peach said, giggling.

Bowser chuckled at this, grinning.

"You've been watching too much tv with Junior and Larry, haven't you?"

"Maybe." Peach said, smiling. "So, what do you want to do after the movie?"

"I don't know.' Bowser said. "I figured that we could wing it."

"Okay." Peach said as their food came. They began to eat, enjoying the food.

"Is it good?" Bowser asked.

"Yes." Peach said, nodding. "It's very good. How about yours?"

"Yeah." Bowser said, nodding. "I always like the steak here. They always know how to get it really juicy."

"I'll bet." Peach said, nodding. She and Bowser finished their food, placing money for the check down and leaving the diner.

At the theater

"So, Peach" Bowser said, looking at the theater. "What movie would you like to see?"

"I don't know." Peach said. "I guess we'll see when we get inside."

"Right.' Bowser said, nodding. He and Peach walked up to the counter, buying tickets. They went into the viewing area to watch their movie.

"So" Peach asked. "What movie is this?"

"Koopatrol vs DeathKoop." Bowser said. "I've heard it's good. I didn't know what you liked, so I picked this one since I figured it wouldn't be too scary or violent."

"Thank you." Peach said. "I hope it's a good movie."

"Oh, I'm sure it will be." Bowser said. "I've heard it was very good."

"That's good." Peach said. "I think we've got good seats."

"Yeah." Bowser said. "So, are you ready?"

"Yes." Peach said.

The movie began, the two watching it. They enjoyed it, smiling.

Afterwards, they walked out, heading to the fountain, where they sat down, smiling.

"This is nice." Peach said. "I like this fountain."

"Yep.' Bowser said. "This fountain was always nice."

"Well" Peach said. "I've had fun on this day."

"I'm glad." Bowser said.

"Me too." Peach said.

"Well" Bowser said, sighing. "It's a nice day here."

"Yeah." Peach said. "So, how was your day?"

"Good." Bowser said. "I spent it with a good friend."

'I did too." Peach said, smiling.

"So" Bowser asked. "How good are you getting on that Ocarina?"

"I'm getting better." Peach said, pulling out her Ocarina. "Do you want to hear me play something?"

"Sure." Bowser said.

"Okay." Peach said, smiling. She began to blow on the Ocarina, soft and melodious tones coming from the instrument. She closed her eyes, letting her ears guide her on the sounds of the melodious Ocarina. Her fingers moved to the holes, the air making beautiful sounds.

As she played, the sound echoed for a good distance. It was beautiful, the sounds.

When she was done, she smiled at her Ocarina, putting it back in the pouch she carried with her.

"That was beautiful." Bowser said, smiling at her.

"Thank you." Peach said. "I call it the Nocturn of Shadow."

"Well" Bowser said. "It was good."

"I'll say." Came a voice from behind them. They turned in shock, Peach gasping and putting her hands over her mouth.

Standing there was a woman who was about three inches taller than Peach. She wore a dress that went down to her ankles. On her feet were high heels that were two inches in height. She had on a pair of white, fingerless gloves that had the mark of three triangles on them, a bird guarding them with its wings. Her hair was a reddish brown and went down near her waist. Her eyes were blue, but they sparkled as if they were gems.

"Zelda!" Peach said, running up to the girl and hugging her.
