At lunch that day, Link was sure to sit far away from Roy and Marth. He
knew they both liked Zelda as well, and he was trying to think of way to
'ask-a her out.' He sat inbetween Luigi and Mario.
"So, are-a you gonna do it?" Luigi asked him. Link supposed that Mario had
told his brother about the advice.
"I.think.so."
The Mario brothers cheered.
"SSSSHHH!!!!"
"So when are you-a gonna do it?" Mario asked, nudging Link in the ribs.
"Uh, um.."
"You should-a do it right-a after lunch!" Luigi suggested. "Ask-a her to do
it-a tomorrow!
"What?! So soon?! But the tournament's tomorrow!!"
"Of course!" Mario exclaimed. "Some-a thing nice and-a romantic! There's
nothing-a like a date-a after a good-a fight, eh?"
"Well..well.."
By the end of the meal, when most of the smashers had left to resume their training, Link was walking up to Zelda. He froze half-way. He could see her at the other end of the room, talking with Impa. "Go-a on!" Mario said, pushing him closer. "Or else-a Luigi will-a ask her to go-a out with you-a instead! And-a how stupid would-a that make-a you look, huh?!" His voice was getting slightly louder. Suddenly, Zelda, who was facing Link and Mario (Impa's back was to them) started shouting. "EEEWW!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I AM GOING OUT WITH THAT FREAKISH BRAT!!!!" With that, she stalked away. Link buried his face in his hands. "She doesn't like me!" he wailed. "SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME!!!! WAAAAHHHH!!!" And with that, he dashed out of the room. The Mario brothers stared after him. Luigi twirled his moustache. "Come on-a, Mario," he said, grabbing his brother's arm. "We gotta go find-a Zelda." The two of them walked up to Impa, and asked where Zelda had went. She said she wasn't sure, but assumed the gym. They thanked her, and headed in that direction. Sure enough, they found her practicing kicks against the gym wall. She stopped once she saw them approach, and smiled. "Hi Mario. Hi Luigi." They did not return her grin. "Princess, we-a have a bone to pick-a with you!" Mario shouted. "Mario, why on earth are you so upset?" Zelda asked innocently. "You know-a perfectly well what-a we mean!" Luigi answered. She gave them a confused look, and they finally gave in. "You were-a so cruel when-a you turned down-a poor Link!" they shouted. She was quite taken aback. "What do you mean, when I turned down Link?" "On that-a date, Zellie!" Mario screeched. "What date?" It seemed apparent that the princess was extemely confused. "Come-a on, you no fool-a us!" Mario continued. "It was-a just now, in-a the lunch room! You said-a that you'd-a never-a go out with that 'freakish- a brat!'" She was stunned. "I wasn't talking about Link!" she stammered. "No-a, huh?! Then who?!" "I had a fight with Pikachu and his pre-evolution today. Impa said that I ought to take the Pikachu out for walk, to make up, you know? But they had gotten me so annoyed, I refused and called him a brat." "Wait, wait wait.." Mario said. "So you mean-a that you were-a calling that pokemon a freakish-a brat, not-a Link?" "Yes!" Zelda sighed, with exasperation. "Wait a minute.did you say Link was going to." She threw her arms up. "ASK ME OUT ON A DATE?!" The Mario brothers nodded. Suddenly, her angered expression broke into a smile and she started cartwheeling around the room. "YES! YES! YES!! AH HA HA HA!!!" And with that, she went dashing out the room to find Link. She ran around the whole premises, and finally found Link sitting on a bench in the courtyard. She rolled her eyes and slapped her forehead, knowing that the person she had spent half an hour looking for was right outside where she started. As she got closer, the princess noticed his eyes were red, and suddenly realized that she had never seen Link cry before. He hadn't acknowledged her presence yet. "Link?" "Go away. Who ever you are. Leave me alone." "Link?" The hero of time turned sharply, and his expression turned to one of fear. "P-Princess! I-I." Suddenly, he completely broke down. He dropped to his knees sobbing hysterically. Zelda sat on the bench, and tried with almost no avail to pull Link up with her. Goddesses! She thought. He's gone completely bonkers! "Please Zelda," he begged. "Torture me no more!" "Oh Link! I'm so sorry! I came to apologize!" "For what?! Calling me a freakish brat?!" "But Link, that's what I'm trying to say!! I wasn't talking about you! I was referring to Pikachu! Goddesses, I was on the totally opposite side of the room! How could I have caught what you asked?" "You mean.that..you don't think I'm a freakish brat?" "Of course not! How could I say that, after all you've done for me?!" She paused. "You shouldn't be so self-centered, you know." He finally managed a laugh, and then remembered what he was supposed to be asking her. "Uh, I-I uh." She smiled dazzingly ( yes, I KNOW it's not a word, but you get the picture). "It's all right Link," she said. "I would luuuvvv to go do something sometime. (do NOT read in Lisa voice!!!) How about sometime after the tournament tomorrow?" Link was stunned. "S-sure!!" "See you later," she said. He watched her slowly walk away. Fox walked up to him. "Hiya, Link. Wazzup?" "SHE SAID YES!!!! I AM SO LUCKY!!!" Link screamed in Fox's ear. "Ow, what did you say?" Link calmed down. "I'm meeting Zelda after the tournament tomorrow!!" He ran into the gymnasium to find Mario and Luigi. "GUYS! GUYS!" he shouted. "SHE SAID YES! SHE SAID YES!!!" "Way-a to go, lover-a boy!" Mario shouted, slapping his back. "I-a knew she wouldn't-a turn you down!"
