"Hiya Zel," greeted Link, as she sat down beside him. "You're a bit late for dinner tonight. What's up?"
"Oh nothing," Zelda answered. "Summer just had a nightmare that's all, and she wanted to tell me about it."
"Oh."
Zelda gestured towards his chicken pot pie. "Is that any good?"
"Yeah, you want some?"
"Nope. You've got awful taste." Zelda turned back to her own poppy seed pumpkin soup.
Link laughed. "Oh, did Samus tell you? They're moving Captain Falcon to the Frank Sinatra Dungeon."
"Yeah, I heard," Zelda snickered. "She said he was allergic to Barbara Streisand or something."
"So.are you going to be busy later?" Link asked, staring at his plate.
"No, I'm not," Zelda answered, looking up. "Why, do you want to do som-ething tonight?"
"Well.kind of. Yes."
"I think that'd be great. I'm still trying to get the whole almost dying thing out of my head."
Link nodded. "I understand."
"Zelda?"
The princess jumped as Marth called her name. She looked up, and noticed that he had been sitting right across from her the whole time. "Oh. Hi, Marth."
"Um, hello," he mumbled. "I know you just said that you might want to go do something with Link, but there's going to be a publicity meeting about your almost murder."
Zelda spat out her spam. "What?!"
"Well you know, the press is very interested about how you almost died and all that."
"But who informed them?! I told everyone to keep it quiet!" Zelda shouted.
"I did," Marth said, baffled. "I presumed that you might want to, you know, let it out of your system and-"
"Tell the whole world about it?!" Zelda yelled, standing up. "Don't you make such presumptions about me!" She stalked out of the room. Link got up as well, and followed her.
"So," Kirby said cheerfully to Mario. "How's the plumber business?"
"It's-a okay," Mario, said rolling his eyes. "Of-a course, battling ugly-a monsters and-a saving beautiful-a princesses is much-a more fun!"
"Who you callin' ugly, brute?" Bowser asked.
"Certainly not-a you!" said Luigi. There was a silence, and the four of them looked around.
"You know," said Kirby. "That's where I would have expected Captain Falcon to say something like 'but Bowser IS an ugly monster.'"
"HEY!" Bowser shouted.
"That-a is only-a because Falcon is-a stupid, and would-a probably call-a even himself-a ugly," Luigi said quickly.
"Okay."
"Poor guy," Peach sighed. "He's allergic to Barbara Streisand, so they were forced to move him to the Frank Sinatra Dungeon."
"I know, but which is worse?" Samus asked.
"You know, I-a kind of-a like Barbara Streisand-a," Mario commented. "I am-a beginning to-a think-a that I wouldn't-a mind being in-a her dungeon."
"WHAT?! ARE-A YOU-A INSANE?!" Luigi shouted. "I CANNOT-A EVEN-A BELIEVE WE ARE-A RELATED!!"
"Geez, calm down Luigi," said Samus. "And Mario-all you have to do to land yourself in that Streisand prison is try to kill Zelda."
There was some laughter, but Peach looked very stern. "That wasn't funny Samus," she sniffed.
"Oh come on," said Samus. "Zelda would laugh at it."
"Yeah, well I'm not."
