Heh heh…SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Whatcha think of the last chappie? I got a request to make it a little longer…Ya, I'm really sorry to everyone who read that….I IZ SOWY!!!! *Cries pathetically* Heh, but…see…The thing is that when the packers came, we moved the computer to my mom and dad's room and I was writing the last chappie in their room late at night, and they were bugging me to get off…..of course, I've noticed that I tend to make my chappies short…..sowy =( I know you guys probably hate me for that…but….YASHE! GUESS WHAT?! I GOT MORE THAT TWO REVIEWS THIS TIME! AND ONLY IN A COUPLE DAYS! YAAAAAAY!!!!……But only four. *Sigh* I was hoping for maybe a FEW more than that….but that's alright =) I guess it's better than nothing, ya? ^.^ Well, here goes….(I'm kinda bored right now….so please don't hurt me if it gets boring LOL)

            Link couldn't respond. He didn't know how…he wanted to shout, but what would he say? He just stood there, silent. Marth stood face to face with him, blood dripping from what seemed every pore on his body, even though that wasn't possible since Link had only cut him in two spots.

            "You must be pretty good…You see, you were just below my level when you were angry…just a little below it. You only got me a little angry by taunting me, and yet you were able to defeat me. Simply amazing…" Marth said, all the color from his face now draining completely.

            There was complete silence. Nothing was making noise, nothing. A smile crept to Marth's lips. A friendly, proud smile. Link just gawked. He couldn't bring himself to say 'shut up', and even if he did, it would have been too late…Marth hadn't said anything for three full minutes now.

            "I suppose there's not even enough room here for one unbeatable competitor…" Marth said, stumbling forward suddenly and falling fast.

            "No!" Link heard himself say. He threw down his sword and put out his arms, catching Marth, but only just. Everyone in the entire room gasped (except Ganondorf and Samus) even Zelda. Link was only focused on making sure Marth stayed alive. "Medic! Now! Get a healer over here! Now!!" Link roared at the stunned crowd.

            "I'm-a coming, I'm-a coming!!" Dr. Mario said, pushing his way through the crowd. Princess Peach bolted towards Marth suddenly, wrapping her arms around him. "Let-a go!!!" Dr. Mario shouted at her, trying to pull Marth from her.

            "No! No!!!" Peach yelled back, holding Marth partly in her arms, trying to yank him from both Link and Dr. Mario. Tears clouded her large eyes. "Marth! Wake up!! Please wake up!" She finally got Marth from both of the males' grips and laid Marth down on her lap. She stroked his face, a few tears dripping onto his cheeks, his lips still parted in a peaceful smile.

            "He's-a not dead! Just give him-a to me and I'll fix-a him right-a up!!!!" Dr. Mario reasoned in a loud voice.

            "No!" Peach said, hugging Marth's unconscious body protectively. "Marth…come on, babe…wake up…" She groaned, rubbing his forehead vigerously, hoping he'd wake.

            "Give-a him to me, or he WILL die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Dr. Mario bellowed at her, finally wrenching Marth from Peach's grip.

            Peach sobbed into her dress after Marth left. Link stood gazing at the door where he'd been carried to, feeling rather guilty now. Peach looked up at Link, then stood up. "You…" She said, placing a death glare on Link. "YOU!!!!" She took a step forward and punched Link's jaw as hard as she could with her gloved hand.

            Link was silent. He didn't look at her. He didn't even look at Zelda as she slowly approached. "Did you…hear him?" Link muttered, feeling childish now.

            "I heard him…Everyone did…" Zelda said, rubbing his shoulder comfortingly.

            "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!" Peach screamed, taking punches to Link everywhere she could reach, like Zelda had done to Marth, except this time, Link didn't have armor…and Peach was much stronger than Zelda, physically.

            "Peach! Stop!" Zelda shouted over Peach, grabbing both her wrists and making her stop.

            Peach hyperventilated, collapsing on Zelda's shoulder. "I…he…dead…what if he…I…never see him…he's gone…" Peach said in between heavy sobs.

            "He's not gone…I know exactly how you feel…" Zelda said, patting her best friend's back, placing a glance at Link, reminded of the memory.

            Link rubbed his temples with one hand, and put the other on his hip, feeling completely horrible and confused. He didn't want to feel guilty. He didn't want to feel bad…he wanted to be happy he finally beat Marth. He wanted to rejoice, but all he could do was feel like there was a fishhook at the bottom of his stomach, tugging upward from time to time.

            "Peach…Go home…I'll cover for you with the Master Hand…don't worry." Zelda comforted Peach, and instantly, Peach sprinted from the building, her hands over her eyes, tears streaming to the floor. "Link…Listen. Everything's fine. You beat him. That's all. That's it. No big deal…I knew you could do it. Good job." Zelda smiled, putting her arms around Link's waist and putting her head gently against his chest.

            "But…" Link said airily, wanting to say something regarding Marth's physical state, but couldn't think of anything. His mind was blank…

            "No buts…Don't think. Clear your mind…Be happy. Let's go and sit on the benches…you can rest, alright?" Zelda said, then placed her lips on Link's. Link didn't force it like before. He didn't want to have to try and prove anything now. He had Zelda…he was happy.

            And yet…Zelda wasn't….

*major gasp* ZELDA'S NOT HAPPY! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIE!!! Ok, no we're not…..but whatever. Sorry, this chappy was kinda short too.
