The next day, all the wounded smashers had been astoundingly healed (for the most part). Zelda stepped into the dining hall, and noticed that she was one of the first to arrive. She sat down in a chair that was in the middle of the long table. Jigglypuff hobbled up to her, and took the seat to her left. The two had made up, after the pokemon defeated Marth and Roy (with the help of Pichu).

"Hi, Jigglypuff!" she said warmly, hugging the balloon. "You know, you may undoubtedly be one of my new best friends." The pokemon squealed with glee. Zelda frowned. "You know, I think that it is totally unfair that you can understand me, and I find you to be completely incomprehensible." At that moment, Marth and Link entered the room on opposite sides. Zelda motioned for Link to take the vacant seat next to her. He had gained possession of a pair of crutches, and was at a slight disadvantage. Marth was quickening his pace towards the table. Jigglypuff walked up to the Altean prince, who froze in terror. "Puff jiggy jig," she squeaked. "W-what d-did she say?" Marth stammered nervously. "She wants to serenade you," Mewtwo called from the other side of the room. The pink pokemon smiled at him evilly. "AAAHH!!" Marth went dashing out of the room, much to the amusement of Zelda. Jigglypuff shuffled back to her seat. "Thanks Jiggly," the Hylian princess said as Link lowered himself into the chair. "I guess I owe you one." The pink puffy poofball shook her head, clearly saying that there was no need to return the favor. Zelda smiled at her. "Well?" Link asked grinning. "What?" Zelda asked.

"You did signal for me to come over to you, didn't you? Or were you just anxious to get anyone other than Marth to sit here?" "Oh, don't be ridiculous!" Zelda laughed. "I wanted your company. And guess what? They printed out these little schedule type things for us." She lifted a sheet of paper out of her bag. "Now we know when we're playing our battles. unfortunately, it doesn't tell us with whom we are fighting." "Yeah, I think I got one of those too," said Link, reaching into his back pocket. He pulled out a similar schedule. "What a surprise. There are no games for me today. Aren't for a long time, thanks to you." He laughed, and Zelda laughed softly. "How about you?" Apparently, she didn't have any games that day either. "I think Master Hand told me that Mario and I have our next game early tomorrow morning.yes, here it is." "Sssooo." Link said slowly, looking up. "Do you.want.to, um, do something today?" Zelda blushed faintly, answering, "I'd love to." "Great!" Link exclaimed, grinning broadly. "I guess I'll meet you in the court yard this afternoon." "Sure. How's five?" "Just fine." Suddenly, Jigglypuff eeped, as hand roughly grabbed her arm. It was Marth "All right Jigglypuff," he said. "I don't like you, and you don't like me. But we are going to sit and eat together like civilized peo.smashers. Okay?" Jigglypuff nodded, but gestured to the opposite side of the table. Grunting, Marth took the seat directly across from Zelda. Then the other smashers started to file in, and all began chatting away. "So Zelda," Marth began, resuming his old habit of trying to 'engage her in conversation.' "I hear that you wiped out the Hero of Time yesterday!" He started laughing hysterically, and Zelda glared at him. "Well, you know I heard that you and Roy got beaten by a couple of pokemon- one of which is very small and almost powerless," Link shot back. "And that would make for your first loss, wouldn't it?" Marth stopped laughing abruptly. Meanwhile, Summer and Young Link were sitting on either side of Ganon. They were both eating Apple Jacks and Gannondorf was consuming (you guessed it) flapjacks. Suddenly, he banged his fist on the table. "Why do you eat those apple jacks?!" he shouted. "They don't resemble apples!" Summer and Young Link turned their heads sharply towards Ganon. "We eat what we like, shae(see)?!" they said in Brooklyn accents. The two youngsters turned back to their cereal, and Ganon stared at them. "Okkkkayyyy," he said. Peach, who had accidentally arrived late, got the worst seat possible. She was stuck between Bowser and Captain Falcon. The two nut heads of the group. The Mushroom Kingdom princess sighed, glaring at Zelda. Word had gotten to her of the situation between Link and Zelda in the medical wing, and truth be told, she wasn't too happy. Of course, the truth had been slightly twisted. Zelda's "peck" had suddenly turned into a passionate kiss/embrace. The two of them were having such a good time, it was almost unfair. It was unfair. Zelda was no better than she, and yet the Hylian princess was enjoying herself so much more. "So Zel," Marth said with ease. "Are you free today?" With annoyance, Zelda shoved her nearly untouched plate in front of her and stood up. "No," she said. Marth raised his eyebrows. "Where are you going?!" Link stood up as well. "I'm going somewhere with Link." And so, Zelda and Hyrule's hero made their way out of the dining area. "Fine!" Marth shouted after them. "Go OUT with the invalid!!" "Heeeyyyy," said Captain Falcon from the end of the table. "I thought that I was the invalid. That's what Samus called me!! Why is HE the invalid!?" "YOU IDIOT!" Samus yelled. "WHEN YOU'RE AN INVALID YOU ARE INJURED!!"

Zelda was slowly walking to the gym, trying not to walk too fast for Link. "Forgive me if I'm prying," she started, "But have you ever been confined to crutches before?" "No," Link answered. "They're killing me though! My arms are so tired! You should be grateful that you've never needed them, Zelda! And hopefully, you never will." "I should hope not," Zelda laughed. Inside the gymnasium, they saw Fox running around in circles. He was going so fast, he was nothing but a blur. Then suddenly, "HI-YA!" Fox flew up, with a large fire burning behind him. He landed, and smiled. "That was impressive," Link commented. "Thanks," Fox chortled (don't you hate that word?). "I've been working on it. It's the only move I have to get myself back onto the field."

At that, Zelda crouched, and threw herself into the air. She very suddenly disappeared, then landed several feet away from her origin (visibly).

"Now why couldn't I have a move like that?" Link laughed. "Mine's worse than yours, Fox. Falco's too I guess." "Oh no!" Fox shouted. "Falco! HE'S GOING TO BEAT ME TO THE SHOWERS!!!" He ran out the door. "Thanks Link!!" Zelda transformed into Sheik. She/he walked over to a beam. Sheik leapt on top of it, and started cart wheeling across it. Then she started flipping in the air and landing, all the way down the beam. It was magnificent to watch. After changing back to Zelda, the Hylian princess started to leave the gym. "See you later, Link," she called. "I'm off to take a loooong bath." Link began hopping on his crutches outside to the courtyard. Out there, he met Mario. The plumber walked up to him. "Mario, guess what happened to me yesterday?" he asked with excitement. "What, I-a beat-a you in battle-a?" "No, better! Zelda KISSED ME!!!" "Wow! On-a your first-a day too, right?" "Yes!" "Well, tonight's-a your chance to-a have it done-a again!" Mario shouted. "Why, did you know that I was meeting her?" "No-a, you fool! Didn't you-a see it on-a your schedule?" Mario pulled out his own. "The-a opening-a party is-a tonight!" "It is?!" Link yelled. "I completely forgot about it!" He looked down at his leg, which was in a cast. "But how on earth am I supposed to dance like this?!" "Well," said Mario, rubbing his chin. "The-a doctor version of-a me is-a working over-a time today. He is-a combining magic with-a medicine to-a heal you and-a those who are in-a worse condition." "SWWEEEET!" Link shouted. "Who could have guessed that I would be out of this cast and done with these crutches in one day?!" "You had-a better go on-a down to the-a medical wing," Mario advised. "That- a way, you will-a get treated-a sooner." "Thanks," Link replied, starting to leave. "Could you tell Zel for me?" "In-a case she doesn't-a all ready know, I will-a have someone-a tell her."
