What The Future May Hold
Chapter Seven -- Results
Kairi stood in the driveway, her arms wrapped around herself to sheild from the cold of the rain. "I'm not going in until he comes back," she whispered. "He'll be back soon, and Young Link will be just fine. I'm sure all Roy's going to do is talk to him... "
But for almost an hour, she stood there, the rain begining to fall harder. The young girl finally gave up and walked inside the lobby of the Smash Building.
"Anyone heard from Roy?" she asked desperately. "He's been gone for too long."
There were only a few Smashers left in the lobby, which included Mario, Bowser, and Marth. Marth had tried to go to sleep, but none came. So there he sat with the others.
"Sorry, I haven't heard anything," Mario replied. "I didn't even realize he was gone."
"He left to go see Link," she began. "And he hasn't come back yet."
"It's raining pretty bad outside. Maybe he's staying somewhere until the rain slacks off?" Marth offered. He too, was now worried. "How 'bout I call Link and see if he's still over there?"
"Sure," Kairi said, taking a seat right in front of the fireplace. She felt better knowing that at least Marth cared. Kairi had gotten a terrible feeling in her stomach; one of those feelings that she didn't get very often.
Marth picked up the reciever. He stood there for a moment, then finally spoke. "Yes, Lady Impa? This is Marth. Is the Prince in?" Marth then smiled. "Thank you." And... "Hi! Link, is Roy still over there?"
Kairi stood, watching him impatiently.
"What?" she heard him say. "Alright... thanks, Link. Tell the others hi for me." Marth then hung up the phone.
"Kairi, Roy was never over at Hyrule Castle."

Link hung up the phone. "That was weird."
"What?" Young Link asked, coming back downstairs. He was in his pyjamas, all ready for bed.
"Marth just called asking if Roy was still here. And he never was here to begin with."
"Oh," Young Link said quietly. "Where's Zelda? Is she still not back from visiting Nabooru?"
"No," Link said, smiling. "She said that it might take a while, though. It was to discuss Princess Ruto's birthday party."
It was silent for a moment. Then, Young Link asked, "Don't you wonder? I mean, why Roy never showed up?"
"In a way," Link admitted. "Maybe he decided to go somewhere else, and just didn't inform them."
"But why would he do that?"
"I don't know. Come on, you have to get to bed."
"Alright. See you in the morning. Don't stay up too late waiting for Zellie! Goodnight!" Young Link gave Link a hug before going to his room.
"Goodnight!" Link called after him.

"Come on, wake up."
A young doctor was trying his best to convince the boy below him to wake up. They young man was in terribly bad shape. He had lost a lot of blood and had to have a few transfusions. His left arm was also broken, and tests were still being conducted to search for any other problems.
"How is he?"
"Dr. Mario!" the younger doctor exclaimed. "You're here!"
"You said this was a car accident patient?" he asked. "Let me see here, who do we have?" Dr. Mario walked to the bed and looked down.
The folder he was holding then fell to the ground.
"Roy?!"
~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~
"Who would be calling this late at night?" Marth asked once the phone rang back at the Smash Building.
"Maybe it's Roy?" Kairi asked hopefully. "Maybe he's calling to say where he's at."
"I'll answer it," Mario said, finally getting up from his seat on the couch. He walked to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hi," Dr. Mario said, sounding rather upset.
"Dr. Mario!" Mario exclaimed. "How are you? What's wrong?"
"It's Roy," the doctor began. "I was called to the hospital to look at a car accident victim. Two, actually. And I was very appalled to find that one of them is Roy. Mario, he's not too good. We just got some results back from a few scans. He has a small concussion. Plus, he's lost so much blood that he's already had a few transfusions. His left arm is broken, too."
Mario gasped. "Roy... Roy... when can we see him?!"
"He's not awake. I have yet to see who the other patient is, but from what the records say, she's just as bad off, if not worse, than Roy. I'll tell you the details of Roy's health and the accident when you get here. Hurry, please. He needs his friends!"
"Sure, anything. I'll tell everyone!" Mario hung up the phone. He didn't even have to look at Kairi to know she was crying.
"It's something really, really, bad, isn't it?" she asked. "You said 'doctor'."
Mario shook his head. "Guys, Roy's been in a terrible car accident. We have to tell the others. Dr. Mario will give us more details when we get there."
~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~*x*~
"Where is he? How is he? Where's my best friend?" Marth demanded answers. He was terribly shaken by everything. Kairi was still crying, and Peach was trying to comfort her.
Link was already there, waiting on them. Hyrule Castle was closer to the hospital than the Smash Building was, and once Mario had called Link, he was there with Young Link in a flash.
"I told Impa to let Zelda know when she gets back," Link said to Mario once the plumber sat down beside him.
"Great. Look, here comes Dr. Mario now!" Mario sat up straight.
"Hi," the doctor greeted them. He then looked at Link with sad eyes. "Roy just awoke a few minutes ago. He was asking for Marth."
Marth stood up quickly. "Can I go in to see him?"
"Yes, he's awake, but he can't talk very well. But he can listen. I think he's going to come out of this just fine. He's going to have several scars when all his injuries heal, though."
Marth smiled. "I'm going to go see him now. I'll let you guys know how he's feeling."
Marth disappeared down the hallway. However, Dr. Mario stayed, his focus on Link.
"Prince Link. I need to speak with you alone for a moment."
Link was rather confused, but got up from his seat and followed the doctor a little ways down the hall.
"Yes, doctor?"
Dr. Mario just stood there, not knowing how to begin what he was about to say.
"Something Roy may have said?" Link began to sweat.
"Link, I don't know how to tell you this... " Dr. Mario cared deeply for the swordsman as a friend. He took another deep breath.
"Is everything alright?" Link asked nervously.
"I said that I was called here to examine two car accident patients. Roy was the first one."
"And you said he's going to be fine, right? Something else?"
"Link, the other person involved in the accident... was Zelda."

Author's Notes -- End of Chapter 7 -- Finally. Sorry for the... hrm... 2 week delay?
As you noticed, I didn't type out an accent for Mario. [It gets annoying at times.] So when Mario and Luigi speak, I won't type out any accents.
But on with other things. I decided to end this chapter right where it was, to set up for the next chapter. Shorter than usual, I know. And I know that I didn't give too many details about Roy's condition. But things have been hectic this week. I just wanted to get another chapter up =)
I'll get to work on the next chapter, probably later tonight. ^_^ Hope you liked it! Oh, and once all these honor band try-outs get over with, I'm going to begin a Legend of Zelda story! Plus, I'll be able to spend more time on this one.
Please review and let me know what you think! Thanks to everyone that has already reviewed! I really appreicite your comments and thoughts!
