After she had taken her bath and was drying her hair, there was knock on Zelda's door. She quickly slipped into her Pooh pajamas, and answered it. Marth stood there, gaping. "Uh, um, hello princess," he stammered. "I-I was asked by Mario to inform you about the party tonight." "What par-oh yeah, the party," Zelda mumbled, picking up her schedule. "Uh, thanks Marth." She tried to close the door, but he put his hand on it. "And I was wondering if you'd consider going with me." "Nope, sorry. I think I'm going with Link. Bye!" She said this all in a very sweet tone and with a sweet smile, then slammed the door in Marth's face. He stood there, staring at the door. Roy came up, laughing. "How'd it go?" he asked. Marth didn't reply. "Awww, did she turn you down? Too bad! Guess it's my turn to try." "Don't," said Marth, grabbing Roy's sleeve. "She's all ready going with that stupid elf boy, Link." "What?! Link?!" yelled Roy. "I thought we'd established that she hated him, due to that battle yesterday! How long has this secret affair been going on?!" "Um, hello?" came Zelda's voice from inside the door. "I'm right here and can hear every word you're saying. There is no 'affair,' Roy. I just think I ought to show Link my gratitude. So AUDIOS, AMIGOS!" Grumbling, the two Alteans stalked off to their room. Then slowly, their anger ebbed away. Zel was just making up for the horrific battle she'd made him endure yesterday. No relationship would ensue.

Later, Zelda was doing yoga in the courtyard on top of a fountain.She and Link had all ready decided to go to the opening party together. It was to be held officially the second day of each tournament. While she was busy walking on her hands, Zelda failed to notice that Samus was jogging up to her. "Hi Zel," said the bounty hunter. "Oh, hey," said Zelda, standing up (on her feet). "What's up?" "Come on up to my room, I wanted to talk to you." Samus and Zelda began walking to the north tower. Samus took out a key, and opened her door. She collapsed onto the couch. "Well, what's the problem?" Zelda asked. "The PROBLEM is Captain Falcon!" Samus shouted. "He's been trying to get me to go with him to the party all day! I keep refusing; he keeps asking. It is getting so annoying!" "Then tell him you're going with someone else," Zelda instructed. "That's what I did with Marth. He was bugging me about it too, and so I told him that I was going with Link. He stopped, then I checked with Link to see if it was okay. He said it was, and so my problem was solved." "But who could I possibly go with?!" Samus asked, trying not to shout. "Well," said Zelda, sitting next to her on the bed. "Let's see who you can eliminate. You can't go with Link, and Young Link is going with Summer, hm. how about Gannondorf?" "GANNONDORK?!" Samus repeated. "Please tell me you're joking!" "Well actually, I'm not. He's gotten to be a lot nicer over the year. And he's an excellent poker player!" Samus was not impressed. Zelda sighed. "Okay, you couldn't go with the pokemon (they're all paired up, you know), Ness is too young, Kirby is going with Jigglypuff, Bowser's freaky.why don't you go with Roy or Marth? As far as I know, neither of them are taken." Samus thought for a while. "Which is the one with blue hair?" she asked. "What, you can't even tell them apart?!" Zelda asked in disbelief. "Well I know one is one and the other is another, I just don't know which is which!" Samus retorted. "But you've known them for almost over a year!" "Irreellleeevvvannnttt, Zelda," Samus drawled.

"Marth is the one with blue hair," Zelda answered. "Roy is the redhead." "Okay, I'll see if Marth is free," Samus decided. "I'll have to pretend like I've known which one he is though.Thanks Zel." "No problem."

Meanwhile, Link was busy punching a punching bag in the gym with Fox. "So are you going with anyone to the party?" Link asked. "I don't know yet," Fox answered, giving the bag a kick. "I mean I feel so weird going to dances and stuff with people, because I'm an animal. Most likely I'll end up going and just hanging around. Maybe steal a couple dances or two. I hear that you're going with Zelda." "True. Who told you?" "Mario did. He's going with Peach. I was with him when he asked, and yet it seems like she was almost reluctant. Kind of like there was someone else she wanted to go with, you know?" "I don't mean to be self-centered or anything Fox, but something tells me she wanted to go with me." Fox started rolling on the floor with laughter. "What makes you say that?" "Well firstly, I noticed that this morning she was a little cold to Zelda. You know, once she found out that we were supposed to be having a 'date' later. And then there's the fact that she used to kiss me every day last year (which got really annoying). And she also asked me to go with her to the party right after Zel did." "Wow, what a nasty web you're caught in," Fox commented. "Not really. Peach will get over me. I hope."
