Today was almost exactly like yesterday, but with one exception: there was music instead of art. Now, this isn't your typical type of music class. For starters, our teacher was none other than the comet observer herself: Rosalina. Her eyes constantly glimmered and sparkled, and she was surrounded at all times by two to six Luma that varied in color. It was too bad that Pit had ACE and DML instead of art and music. At least he wasn't alone. Marth and Samus had those classes as well. When I stepped into the room, I immediately noticed the many instruments balanced carefully on the tops of the chairs.
"Students, pick your proffered instruments, and then we will play "Hyrule Field" from the Twilight Era. This song is famously known all over the realm of Hyrule, and here in the Smash Bros. realm." About the preferred instruments, being musically educated was another requirement to enroll in School of Smash. I sat down with my instrument, the flute, and began to play the Prelude of Light. About half way through the song, I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I hadn't noticed that Zelda, Lucina, Robin, and all of the other students had arrived. Chatter had filled the room, along with the sound of absent notes being plucked, bowed, or whistled.
"When I was younger, I'd wanted my instrument to be the flute," Zelda said. "But as I grew older, the harp began to pull on me, and soon enough, I'd found the right one." She finished the last of the Prelude of Light for me on her harp. Robin's instrument was the viola, and Lucina's was the violin. Along with musicians, some students, such as Peach and the Mario Brothers, had lined up on the rafters. If you were a good enough vocalist, then you didn't need to play an instrument. As the last students filed into the music room, Sheik took his seat with a harp next to Zelda.
"Hello, you must be Zelda," he said. "I haven't had the chance to meet you before, though I hear quite a bit about you." He raised his eyebrows pointedly in my direction. I blushed, and Zelda laughed.
"Well, then, you must be Sheik. I've heard lots about you as well. You were elected Student Council President just yesterday, correct?"
"Yes. And, I was also paid a visit by my very own fanclub," He said with a chuckle.
"Wow, that's a record," I said. I turned to Zelda. "Normally, it takes a few days for a Sheik fanclub to form."
"Last year was the original record, six days. But this is basically a minor miracle," Robin clarified. Sheik was arguably the most handsome guy in the school. Fanclubs were a common occurrence since middle school.
"Class, ready your instruments. This song was requested by our lovely art teacher, Camii." Rosalina raised her wand, signaling for the students to ready their instruments. Before we began, I looked over towards the door. There, leaning against the door frame, was Principal Ganondorf himself. His eyes shone with an intense and intellectual gaze that seemed to pierce through me, leaving me with a chill. I shuddered as he turned and walked away. I'd met him before. Last summer, in fact. He had been kind, with a warm smile on his huge, dark face. But now, as I saw how he reacted to the students, I wondered what could have happened to the gentle, quiet man I'd known. After he'd left, I turned back to the music.
"Are you okay, Link?" Zelda asked.
"Yeah… yeah, I'm fine," I said. When we began to play, our notes soared up, along with the weight of our worries.
