CHAPTER III:

A couple of days had passed. Malon had been coming over a lot lately to look around the center. She decided she would when she was in town. Every time she would see Marth here and there, and they would talk or flirt or something like that.
It was the morning. People woke up. Then, more people woke up. Zelda went over to Link's room as soon as she woke up. Of course, she found him still asleep, drooling all over his pillow... and the bed. Zelda sat next to Link on his bed, avoiding the wet drool spots. She kissed his forehead.
"Wake up sleepyhead."
"Unh..." Link groaned as he awoke at the sound of Zelda's comforting voice.
"Hey, welcome back to the real world." Zelda smirked.
"Really? I'm on Real World!?!? COOL!!"
"Heh." Zelda and Link both began to laugh loudly. But they stopped abruptly so that they wouldn't wake anybody up.
"Hey, Zelda?"
"Yeah?"
"What's today again?"
"It's Saturday."
"REALLY!?" Link asked excitedly.
"Yes, why?"
"No reason!" Link yelled to Zelda as he ran down the stairs towards the front desk. He soon found himself running with Young Link in the lobby.
"THE MAIL'S HERE! THE MAIL'S HERE! MAIL MAIL MAIL!" The two of them yelled in unison. They both stopped in front of the front desk.
"Can I have my mail please?" Link asked the dude at the front desk.
"Sure, here you go," the dude said as he smiled handing Link his ONE envelope.
"Awww...no fan mail today?" Link sighed.
"Sir, there never WAS any fan mail."
"Oh, right. I knew that. I was just testing you!" Link said trying to make an excuse for being an idiot (which he could NOT do). Link walked away to a chair and sat down. He watched Young Link who was jumping up and down trying to reach the top of the desk.
"MAIL! MAIL! MAIL!" Young Link struggled to ask as he jumped up and down. The dude chuckled as he handed Young Link his mail.
"Thank you Mr. Dude Sir!" Young Link thanked the dude at the desk as he walked over to a chair and sat. Link and Young Link sat in their chairs and opened their mail.
"Dear Volunteer, We here at the Big Bro slash Lil' Bro program are pleased to inform you that your Big Bro slash Lil' Bro has been chosen..." Link and Young Link read in unison.
"Your Big Bro slash Lil' Bro's name is.." they continued.
"Link." Young Link read. He jumped up and down on his chair and fell off, the whole time yelling, "YES! YES!"
Link sang in his head He's got the the urge....he's got the uuuurge to herbal!
"Okay..." Link read on. "Young Link," Link sighed. That means that I have to put up with him, which isn't so bad, but, I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH NESS TOO!!Oh well. Nayru, please help me....again. Young Link, laying on the floor, looked up at Link. He quickly got up on his feet.
"Wow, Link, THIS IS SO COOL!!"
"Yeah, come 'ere 'Lil' Bro'" Link opened his arms. Young Link ran over to Link. Link hugged Young Link for one second and immediately begun to give him a noogy.
"AHHHH!!" Young Link cried, giggling. Zelda watched from the stairway without the two knowing it. Awww...that's SO cute! She thought. Roy snuck up behind Zelda.
"Cute, isn't it?"
Zelda looked behind her, startled.
"Yeah.."
Roy put his hand on Zelda's shoulder as they watched the two Links. Zelda hadn't noticed that Roy had put his hand on her shoulder, she didn't mind too much. Link finally stopped Young Link's noogie and began to laugh. They both did.
"They really DO seem like brothers..." Zelda said turning to Roy.
"Yeah, you're right."
"Well, I think we should do something besides just stand here before they notice that we're watching."
"Oh! Right!" Roy ran back up the stairs and went back to his mad spinning in his chair. Link picked up Young Link and sat him on his knee. Zelda walked over to them.
"Okay, what's with the sudden bond?" Zelda asked already knowing the answer.
"Well, Zelda, remember when I told you that I signed myself up for that Big Bro slash Lil' Bro thing?" Link replied.
"Yeah."
"Well, that's why I was so excited to get the mail."
"And Link got ME as his Lil' Bro! Can you believe it!? ME! OUT OF ALL PEOPLE!" Young Link continued.
"Well you seem happy..." Zelda said, pretending to be surprised.
"YOU BET!"
Zelda giggled, Link chuckled, and Young Link just burst out laughing with joy.
"Well, I'll just leave you two to your bonding..." Zelda said, ready to go on her daily walk around the training center. But before she walked away, she kissed Link on the cheek, and Young Link on the head. Young Link blushed.
"See you around guys!" Zelda called as she walked back up the stairs. She could still hear the two talking.
"So....what do you want to do today, bro?"
"Well....." That's all she could hear before she bumped into Marth.
"Oh! I'm sorry, Marth."
"That's okay." Marth fixed his tiara and his hair and smiled at Zelda. Zelda smiled back. So beautiful.....so elegant.....SO FREAKIN' HOT!! MOTHER OF ALTEA, HOLD ME BACK!!! Marth thought to himself gazing into Zelda's eyes.
"Uhhhh...Marth?" Zelda waved her hand in front of Marth's face. Marth snapped out of it.
"Oh, heh..heh.."
"Are you with me today?"
"I wish.." he mumbled.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm just out of it today."
"I see, well, 'tis still early in the morn."

"What?" Marth was confused by Zelda's fancy talk.
"It's still early in the morning."
"Ooooooooooh."
Zelda patted Marth's shoulder and walked past him. Ahhh....she..SHE TOUCHED ME!!!
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHH!!" Marth screamed. He thought that Zelda had gone. She turned around.
"Marth?"
He turned around.
"Oh, sorry. Just trying to wake myself up..heh..heh..heh..." Marth lied.
"Oooooooooooooookay," Zelda said, turning around, and walking down the hall. Marth walked further with a big smile. He found Roy and Zelda's room and went in. He found Roy, sitting and typing at his computer. He had already typed in the male as himself. He was about to type in the female as Zelda when...
"Hey Roy," Marth said. Roy spun around startled.
"AHH! Oh, hey Marth." Marth chuckled.
"Hey, bro, watcha doin?" Roy quickly typed in the female as Samus.
"Nooooooooothing."
"Man, do you EVER get off of that computer?"
"Maaaaaaaaybe."
"Okay...so, what program are you hooked on THIS time?" The baby of Roy and Samus appeared on the screen. It was a baby bot with a sword and a helmet like Samus'.
"Oh, you mean, THIS?" Roy pointed to the screen. Marth laughed.
"Yes."
"Oh, this program is REALLY cool....and eeeevil..."
"Ooookay." Marth said confused.
"Here, watch this.." Roy typed in Marth as the male. Hmmmmm.... Roy thought. Let us be evil and type in ZELDA as the female. Wait...WHY do I ALWAYS choose her? Oh well..
Roy typed in "Zelda" as the female. Marth looked at the screen wide- eyed.
"WHAT?!?!?!" he yelled as he jumped up and down in fury. Roy just laughed at him as he hit "Enter" on his keyboard. An error on the screen came up:
"Error: There is no possible way that Zelda would ever choose Marth to be the father of her first child."
Marth sighed.
"I tooooooooooooooooooooooold yoooooooooooooou..." Roy teased.
"Told me what!?" Marth said in fury.
"That it was EEEEEVIL!!"
"Ooooh, well, you were right there." Marth was REALLY mad. He stomped over to Roy's computer and kicked it (this was the only way that he could keep himself from killing Roy).
"Error, error, system failure, error, error..." The computer said.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Roy screamed.
"Oops.." Marth struggled to get that out. Suddenly, there was an explosion. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marth and Roy quickly took cover. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" They both screamed.
"NOOO!! MARTH!!! YOU STUPID JERK! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!!!"
There was a pause between the two for a moment.
"AND THIS TIME, MARTH!! I'M NOT KIDDING!!"
Now, Marth's eyes watered at his brother's cruel words. Roy had always told Marth that he hated him, but never had he EVER really MEANT it. Zelda suddenly burst in.
"OH MY DIN!!! WHAT HAPPENED!?!?!? ROY!?! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOY!?!?! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?" Zelda was terribly worried about her best friend (since age 4). Marth popped out from behind a fallen file cabinet (Roy was still behind it). He tried to sneak out.
"MARTH!!" he was stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned his head towards Zelda.
"Heh..heh..heh..I DIDN'T DO IT!!" Marth yelled as he ran past Zelda. Zelda stepped on Marth's cape. Marth fell on his back.
"Ouch..."
"Sorry, but, I have some questions for you." Zelda sat Marth on a chair, turned off the lights, and turned a desk lamp on and shined it onto Marth.
"Now, WHERE WERE YOU A COUPLE MINUTES AGO?"
"With you, down stairs..heh..heh..heh..."
"DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME MR. MAN!! I MEANT AFTER THAT!"
"Oooooooooooooooooooh."
"ANSWER IT!!"
"In here...destroying Roy's computer?"
"Oh, okay then." Marth suddenly switched places with Zelda. She found herself under the spotlight.
"Now, MISSY, I have some questions for YOU."
"Okay.."
"Hmmmm.." Marth thought. "WHAT'S 2+2!?"
"Four, DUH!"
"Oh, I was just making sure." Marth said as he wrote that down on his math homework. "Okay then, WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A!?"
Zelda sighed. "George Washington."
"Oh, thank you again. I mean, correct..." Marth said as he wrote that down on his history homework. "Fine, then, WHO DISCOVERED THE AMERICAS!?"
Zelda sighed. Then, she thought Wait....he used me....FOR KNOWLEDGE!! Hmmm.... Zelda grew an evil grin. "Benjamin Franklin," she said, pronouncing it as "Benhameen" Franklin.
"Right.." Marth said writing that down on his social studies homework. "Okay, now for the REAL stuff!"
"Okay..."
"WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME!?"
"Uhhh...no?" Roy suddenly popped out from behind the file cabinet. He coughed and all the lights went back on. Marth quickly ran out of the room and Roy yelled to him. "YEAH! YOU BETTER RUN!"
Zelda grew a confused look on her face as she sat in the chair. Roy hadn't noticed Zelda, he was too infuriated.
"Uhhh...."
"Oh, hi Zelda." Roy smiled at her.
"Okay....so, Marth destroyed your computer?"
Roy gritted his teeth. "Yes."
"I see." Zelda saw a tear rolling down his cheek. She hugged him. "It'll be okay, we can fix it." Roy hugged back and grinned. He WAS sad about his computer, but he kind of made that tear so he could feel the wonderful comfort of Zelda's hugs.
"Yeah, we can." He let go of Zelda and smiled. They stared into each other's eyes. Zelda suddenly felt butterflies in her stomach. Roy did too. They both paid it no mind.
"Now, let's forget about that dumb old computer..."
"WHAT!?!"
"Nothing, anyway, let's forget the computer and fix that hair of yours."
"Okay." They smiled at each other again and stared again. Zelda snapped out of it.
"Okay, let's go!"
"Right."
And so they went into the bathroom to dye his hair.
