Peach and Zelda slowly walked back to the room they had seen the puffy pink
ball in earlier.
"You.don't like him, do you?" Peach asked cautiously.
Zelda laughed. "Is it that easy to tell?" she asked. "Ugh! Ever since I met him and Roy, it's been me this and me that, it just gets SO annoying! They're almost as bad as the guy with the pocket protector, if not WORSE!"
Peach winced. "Ooh, that's saying something!"
They found Jigglypuff still sitting in the corner, gagged and bound as they had left her. Feeling slightly guilty, the royal pair walked up to her, and she smiled quite warmly.
"We're sorry for not freeing you sooner," Zelda apologized. "Mewtwo warned us to leave before we could do anything."
"Jigg-jig!" the pokemon squealed, smiling brightly, tears forming from her immense happiness.
"Wait a second," Peach said, coming to a halt. "NOW I remember how I lost the last match last year!"
"What does that have to do with this?" Zelda asked slowly.
"Jigglypuff sang me to sleep, and KICKED ME OVER THE EDGE!!!" Peach yelled in rage. Jiggly looked at them, aghast.
"Hey, she did that to me too!" Zelda exclaimed. "Sorry Jigglypuff, you're going to have to stay like that for a little while." Just as they were turning to leave, a flash of lightning ran right between Zelda's legs.
She turned abruptly, and saw Pichu. He was smiling, and bounced into her arms. She was slightly taken aback by the rodent's actions, but hugged him back. "Hiya, Pichu! I completely forgot to see you!"
"And me," came a voice. Zelda looked up, and saw Young Link--Link's younger self (it's a long story). The Hylian princess laughed, and embraced the child. "Why weren't you at the docks with us at Hyrule?" she asked him.
"Don't you remember?" he asked, pretending to be shocked. "I spent a week with the Ice Climbers, and we already established tha-"
"THE ICE CLIMBERS!!" Zelda shouted, throwing her arms in the air. "I FORGOT ABOUT THE ICE CLIMBERS!!! Where are they, Nana and Popo?" At that second, two tiny hooded figures bounced into the room, and into her arms. They came at her with such force, that she was knocked to the ground, laughing.
"We thought that you hadn't come!" whined Nana, the ice climber dressed in a pink sweater.
"Yeah!" Popo agreed, wearing blue.
"Well, don't worry yourselves," she answered. "I'm here."
"Speaking of which," Young Link cut in. "Guess who else was with the Ice Climbers, and is with us now?"
"Who?"
"HI, ZELLIE!!!!!!!!!!"
Zelda turned around, and saw none other than her younger cousin- Summer.
"S-Summer?!" she whispered. The elven child jumped into her cousin's arms. Summer was a year younger thanYoung Link-she was nine. In fact, the two of them got along together extremely well. Peach had to grin at the two girls' bond. "Oh Summer, it's been so long!" 'Zellie' said. "I'm so glad you've come to see me!"
"Yes! Yes!" Summer chirped. "And I can't wait to see you knock out everyone else in the tournament!" Zelda blushed.
"Young Link," she said. "Have you seen your older self? I want to re- introduce him and Summer."
"Yeah, he's helping Fox and Falco fix the pool table you broke."
Zelda and Summer walked out the room. "Oh, it was barely my fault at all. And if it was, Peach helped. A lot." "No I didn't, it was all you!" Peach shouted with laughter at her friend's retreating back. She turned to Pichu, Young Link, and the ice climbers. "Do me a favor, will you?" she asked them. "Untie her. I can't bring myself to do it." She pointed at Jigglypuff, who was glaring at her evilly, with a look of revenge clearly on her face. To Zelda's grand displeasure, Marth and Roy were also in the pool room. She noticed that the felt top of the board had been fixed. "So who repaired the holy pool table?" she asked sarcastically. "I did," Marth, Roy and Link lied. "I did," Fox answered truthfully. The swordsmen glared at him. "So glad for you," Zelda said. Link gasped, and squatted down next to Summer. "Don't tell me it is?" he asked. Summer giggled. He gasped again, making Zelda turn her laugh into a cough. "This couldn't POSSIBLY be.Summer? That cute adorable toddler princess, could it? No! How could she have grown into such a lovely young girl already?!"
"It's me!" the person whose name is also a season laughed. "Summer, Link! I'm so happy to see you!" She jumped into his arms. It had been four years since they'd seen each other (two years longer than Zelda). They both laughed.
"UGH!" Falco shrieked. "Why is everyone so miserably happy! No one loves me, no one!" He buried his face in his hands. Then, Samus came dashing into the room.
"I like you, I like you!" she shouted hastily.
"You.do?" Falco whispered.
"Well no, not really. But I do compared to that freak Falcon!"
"OH, SAAAAMMMUUSSS!!!" everyone heard a voice shout. "WHERE ARE YOOOOOUUUUU?!"
"Aaah!" Samus gasped. "He's found me! Bye, guys!" With that, Samus Aran slid through a door into the broom closet.
Gasping for breath, Captain Falcon crawled into the room. "Have any of you guys seen Samus?" he asked.
"She-" Summer began, before Zelda cut her off.
"She jumped off the poop deck and committed suicide," the elven princess said, with a face of false worry.
"OH NO!!!" the racer shouted, completely spazzing out. "I MUST RESCUE HER! GOOD-BYE!!!" He ran out the room, flailing his arms.
The smashers all laughed, making Summer thoroughly confused. "It's a long story," Zelda explained.
Samus came out of the closet, grinning. "The 'poop deck'?" she laughed. "It's too much! Very original. Phew, that ought to get Falcon off my hands for a while. Thanks, Zel!"
"Any time!" she answered. "Besides, I know you'd do the same for me." There was a patriotic yelland a loud splash, followed by a horrified shriek. Peach came running into the room.
"SAMUS!" she shouted. "You.you mean mean girl, you!"
"What did I do?" Samus asked innocently.
"You hurt Captain Falcon so badly, that you caused him to go and JUMP OVERBOARD!!!"
"No I didn't, Zelda did."
".what?"
The two girls hooked arms with Peach, laughing, and began to explain the whole situation to her as they left the room.
"Wanna join our pool game guys?" Fox asked. "We could start over."
"Yeah," Falco said. "He was losing anyway." Fox grunted, not wanting to start another argument (even though he had been winning).
The three swordsmen agreed to join in the game. Marth's score started plummeting, and Mewtwo entered the room. In rapid Japanese, Marth started yelling at his cue. Everyone but Roy turned to Mewtwo. He smiled.
"I don't think I can print that!" They exchanged glances.
"YO! DUDES!" came Peach's voice over the loudspeakers. Overdrive guitar started playing in the backround.
"LIKE DUDE, DINNER IS IN TEN MINUTES, SO LIKE, HURRY IT UP AND GET OVER TO THE DINING ROOM!!" Zelda shouted, in a disguised low and husky voice.
"You.don't like him, do you?" Peach asked cautiously.
Zelda laughed. "Is it that easy to tell?" she asked. "Ugh! Ever since I met him and Roy, it's been me this and me that, it just gets SO annoying! They're almost as bad as the guy with the pocket protector, if not WORSE!"
