Happy Birthday Samus!

G'day! Last chapter here. Hopefully you've liked it so far... enjoy!


The Wedding

Months after Marth's proposal to Samus, the Smashers were again busy redecorating the Smash Center. This time, they were rearranging the gardens for a very special wedding, placing chairs in rows, lining the fresh green grass with red carpet and arranging flowers and vines so that they wove in and out of the beautiful, white wooden trellis, built especially by Roy (Whose legs had fully healed, by the way. It's amazing what a few months' rest can do!).

The men were already prepared and organized, but extremely nervous, particularly Marth, who was shaking so much that he spilt his glass of orange juice all over his tuxedo's vest and had to rush down and change in a hurry.

But the women were all desperately fiddling with their hair, make-up and nails. All of them were at least half-dressed, but there was so much yelling and reckless running that no one knew where they were meant to be. There were frantic yells that were just muddled up and mixed into the rest of the room's hustle and bustle, like an overgrown blender swallowing the sounds into a roaring, meaningless frenzy.

"Where's my eyelash curler?"

"No, my hair's all wrong!"

"Ack, I've lost my tiara!"

"This veil is WAY too pink..."

"Whose eyelash curler is this?"

"My shoes are one size too small!" And so on and so forth, until finally, when everyone was ready, all the bridesmaids were seizing Samus's hair and tangling it all up into more knots and curls than poor Samus could count.

Eventually, they were all ready. Samus's hair was curled and done in a bun at the back, and she carefully and slowly placed her tiara on top of her head. Perfect, she thought to herself.

"Oh, Samus," Zelda said, smiling and standing next to Peach. "You look... beautiful..."

"Just stunning," Peach added, as she pulled on one of Samus's red curls to make it symmetrical with the other side.

"I'm so nervous..." Samus admitted, glancing quickly at herself in the mirror. As she spun around, double-checking her gleaming white dress and veil, she thought to herself; Was she doing the right thing? Should they have maybe waited until they knew that they wanted to be together forever? Does she really want to be with Marth forever? Of course you do, you twit, she told herself, and she was reminded of that night of her birthday, when Marth had proposed to her. She sighed deeply, and turned to her two bridesmaids.

"Okay," she said boldly, snatching up her bouquet from her dresser. "Let's go."


"Marth, it's gonna be fine..." Roy told Marth as he paced up and down the small space of the flower-wound trellis. "Don't look so nervous..."

"Look nervous? LOOK nervous?! I don't look nervous, I am bloody nervous!" Marth snapped. He then realized what he had just said, and then stopped pacing the archway and faced his best man. "Er... sorry..."

"Nah, it's ok. I understand how you feel..." Roy said, patting his bud on the shoulder. "Just...ah... breath slowly... think... calm things..." He closed his eyes to imitate someone meditating. Marth closed his own eyes, too, but they shot open when Gruntilda, from Banjo-Kazooie, began to play the organ to the familiar "Here comes the Bride" tune. Marth could swear that, even though many people say this as a way of expressing emotion, that his heart literally leapt and skipped a beat.

As Link led Samus down the aisle, she whispered to him, but kept watch ahead to make sure she didn't trip and completely embarrass herself and Marth.

"Thank you, Link..." She whispered to him.

"For what?" He asked out of the corner of his mouth.

"For... for being there for me..."

"But I never-"

"Just let me thank you, okay! I have to say it to someone, or I'll explode." Samus hissed, but she widened her eyes when she realized what she had just said. "Um... sorry... I didn't mean to be rude..."

"I understand," Link whispered back as they neared the trellis. "Well, we're almost there. Marth really loves you... don't even bother thinking twice..." Link said, and although he felt rather uncomfortable, not only because he was out of his usual tunic and in a tuxedo, but because love wasn't really his thing, Samus took this as a sincere gesture.

"I won't. Thanks again..." Samus smiled at him when they reached the arch. He nodded and stepped back next to Roy.

She took her place in front of Marth, who had put his hands behind his back and held them tight to stop them from shaking.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," started the priest, who was actually DK in a priest uniform. Oo "We gather here today in front of the holy Master Hand to witness the marriage of Marth Lowell and Samus Aran..." And he continued on as such. Marth spoke when he was told, Samus also, and when the time finally came, they slipped the wedding rings on each other's fingers (Marth was almost sure that he would forget them, since it had happened in so many movies and stories) and then, kissed as deeply and as passionately as they did that very first night on Samus's birthday. Their nerves had disappeared, their hearts had slowed down to an almost normal beat and their guests applauded and threw confetti and streamers into the air. Zelda wiped a tear from her eye.

"It's so beautiful..." She sobbed happily. And then, Link turned around and kissed her. At first she was surprised, but then her eyes laughed and she wrapped her arms around him.

Roy smiled, as did Peach. Then, their eyes met. Roy didn't care what anyone, even Mario, thought anymore. He leant over and kissed her, and she jumped into his arms and he carried her away, too, laughing.

"Peachie?" Mario piped up, his eyes wide, almost crying as he watched her being carried away.

Gruntilda turned to him. "Hey there, babe, forget about Peach! You got me now! Screech, screech, screech!" (Excuse the lame rhyme... but blame Rare for making her rhyme constantly!)

Mario smiled and jumped into Grunty's arms. "It's-a me, Mario!" He giggled in joy.

Jigglypuff turned to Kirby, and kissed him hard on the lips. Luigi and Daisy leant over and kissed, too. Pichu and Pikacyllia kissed aswell, Pikacyllia carefully clutching Pichu Jr., their newly born son. Jesse and James flew into each others arms crying and kissing at the beautiful marriage, Paula and Talon pecked each other's face and Misty kissed Ash, because it just felt right. Even Hermione Granger looked down to see Ness smiling up at her. She shrugged, picked him up, and kissed him. Oo Everyone was happy.

"I love you, Marth," Samus whispered to her husband.

"I love you, too, Samus," Marth replied to his wife.

Clasping each other's hands, they ran down the aisle and flew into their car, driving to the after party where they could finally settle themselves down.

As they were driven to the party (Which was just in the Grand Hall, but it felt right to be driven around the corner of the building in a black limousine with tin cans and streamers tied to the bumper.) Marth and Samus admitted how nervous they had been to each other. This made the weight in their stomachs lighter, knowing they were not alone in almost passing out, but they still felt a little dizzy.

When they walked through the doors, a loud cheer erupted from the large mass of people that congregated in the hall, and people were still flooding through the doors. Each of the Smashers had congratulated Marth and Samus, and a few of the outsiders that weren't staying in the Smash Center who were very close to Marth and Samus came up to them and began thanking them for inviting them to their wedding.

Five glasses of wine, six bottles of beer and four serves of cake later, Marth and Samus were well and truly exhausted, and Samus felt like she was burning up in her dress.

Most of the guests had gone home, it was just the bride and groom's close friends that remained; Peach, Roy, Daisy, Link and Zelda, accompanied by DK, who was cleaning up the bar he was just serving in (He has many talents, what a smart monkey! Have a cookie, DK...) and a few hired waiters and waitresses.

"You did great, Samus," Peach reassured Samus after she told them how silly she felt in the gargantuan dress she was wearing. "You, too, Marth." Marth felt himself blushing as he turned to face Samus, still as dazzlingly gorgeous as ever.

Then, they all decided to see Marth and Samus off, who were going on their honeymoon.

"Have fun," Zelda told them, as they stood under the old Willow Tree in the front courtyard.

"Yeah, fun, you know - wink, wink, nudge, nudge!" Link said with a grin. Zelda elbowed him and his face returned to serious, though mischief glistened in his eyes.

"Enjoy it, anyway," Peach said, grasping Samus's hand firmly. "Don't forget how important this day has been, and how important the next few days should be..." She added.

"Be sure to write, so we know how you're going!" Daisy said sadly. It was quite clear that she did not want her best friend, Samus, to go, but never said anything.

"I'll see ya later, mate," Roy said warmly to Marth. "Bring us home something, okay?" He grinned. Marth smiled back.

"Sure, Roy, I will. Seeya later, guys!" He said, winking.

"Buh-bye, everyone!" Samus squealed. "Thank you all so much!"

And with that, they got into their limousine, and drove away into the sunset, their friends waving farewell, and wishing them the best of luck for all those years ahead...

The End


Aww! It ended... snivel. Oh well, at least they all lived happily ever after. Even Ness! Hehe... (watches as the limousine swerves off the road and on to the pavement, running over Ness and squirting his gizzards all over Hermione, who laughs) OO Uhhm... oookay...

Thanks for reading. I hope you got some fun out of it, that's what it was meant to be really, just fun. :) I definitely did. Oh, and... how about that review now? :P

Seeya later!
