Marth slouched in the dark corner where Ganondorf had left him. He gazed off into space and his vision went out of focus.

"Hey, babe." Marth jumped, and then shook his head, wondering who had said that. He looked to his right and saw Peach standing with one hand on her hip, and the other dangling freely. "Nice performance." She said.

Marth could see the material on her shoulder was darker than the rest of her dress, soaked from tears. Marth's eyes scanned her, and then stopped at a bright, round, blue jewel in the center of her chest.

"Hey, babe, my face is up here." Peach said, laughing lightly as Marth's eyes drifted from the jewel to her face. Her eyes were just as bright and blue as the jewel.

"So sorry! I just…'err…" Marth said, but quickly put one foot in front of the other, placed one hand on his stomach, the other behind his back and took a low bow.

"Heh heh. That's cute, babe." Peach added as he stood up properly.

"Cute?" Whispered Marth to himself.

"So you really took him out. He's truly unbeatable. Zelda and I came to watch him last year." Peach said, chewing a new piece of gum.

"'err…thank you." Marth said, scratching the back of his head with innocent anime eyes.

"I never said that was a good thing, babe." Said Peach flatly.

"Oh. I…see." Said Marth, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"I never said that was bad, either." Peach added, winking at Marth, making his cheeks go a little red like a schoolboy.

"Sorry about earlier." Peach said, leaning against the wall. She lifted her right leg up and put her high heel against the wall behind her, revealing her long, thin legs. Marth wasn't sure if she was doing this purposely or out of habit, but he didn't mind it either way.

Marth became a little redder as Peach lifted her leg a little higher, revealing an inch or so above her knee. "About," He coughed, nearly choking on the lump in his throat. "About what?"

"The gum thing. I didn't even know you were new, babe." Peach said, looking up at Marth with her huge gem-like eyes.

"Oh." Was all Marth could say. He felt himself getting a little more nervous, shifting positions every few seconds.

"Well, I've got to go comfort the Princess for a while." Peach said finally, placing her foot back on the ground, making Marth feel very relieved.

"Ye—" Marth's voice cracked nervously. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Yes. Please be careful." He said, without thinking really.

"It's only over there, babe." Peach said, pointing a few yards to where Zelda was. She winked and chewed her gum a few more times.

Marth sighed, caught himself, and then ran a hand through his hair nervously, wishing he'd stop sweating. He was about to take another step when there was a loud "GAH!" And Peach fell, apparently tripping over her long dress. Marth's eyes widened and he ran over to her as everyone began to laugh.

"Are you alright?" Marth asked, almost desperately.

"Yeh' yeh, I'm fine! I should've taken your advice, though." Peach added after a pause. They both laughed lightly, then Marth swept his arms underneath her and stood up, then placed her on her feet. She looked a little taken with the way he had helped her up, but she liked it just the same.

"Be careful next time." Marth said, smiling handsomely.

"I will be." Peach said, smiling back. She turned around only to find Zelda glaring at her.
