"Oh…my…goodness! You guys, look! They have it here!" squealed Peach joyfully. Palutena, Daisy, Zelda and I all gathered around the window to see what she was captivated with this time: a pair of power moon-shaped pink earrings, and she rushed inside the jewelry store. We were at the mall doing some shopping. I only tagged along because I thought I could find some new parts to upgrade my paralyzer, but no luck so far.

The jewelry store had a pretty big selection. Apparently there was a sale going on today. Perfect… Looks like I'll be stuck here for a while. The girls had all found something they really liked, but as for me, I never cared too much about jewelry. It's just so trivial…

Just then, however, a faint twinkling caught my attention. Intrigued, I went to check it out. Locked away in its own special glass box was an exquisite-looking brooch with a single beautiful ruby fitted in the center. Ruby, just like her eyes…

Suddenly, nothing else—not even my paralyzer—mattered to me. I had to have it.

"Ooh, how lovely!" I heard Zelda say.

"Do you think Sheik will like it?"

"I am most certain she will," then Zelda added with a little wink, "especially if it's from you."

That made me blush, a small feeling of excitement fluttering in my heart. Lately I've been thinking about her… Was it that obvious? Did I even care? As I happily made my purchase, the other girls astonished, I realized: not at all.
