Chapter 4 - Roy vs. Jasmine

-Jasmine-

The transforming booth melted away in a flash of green and I found myself standing on the Hyrule Temple stage, facing Roy. He grinned broadly at me. I managed a small smile, but a single thought was flying around my head - "I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die."

"GET READY!"

"3!" Boomed the voice. "Shit!" said my brain.

"2!" Roy drew his sword.

"1!" I glared and unsheathed my twin blades. As the speakers yelled out "GO!" We leapt towards each other, my left sword crossing over my right to block his attack. Roy came crashing down on me in a fiery sweep. I kept my left sword in the same position, holding his blade away from me as I swiped around and under with my right, toppling him off his feet. I stepped away as he pushed himself to his feet with a leap and came at me again.

Quickly, I twirled my blades and slammed them into the ground "EARTHQUAKE!"

"The earth-brown gems on the hilts shone red and pillars of red-hot rock went charging up to meet Roy, who cried out and fell back. By his face alone I could tell he was pretty angry. I wasn't giving him one single tiny gap for a chance of attack. He ran towards me and leapt over behind me, but I was already two steps ahead of him and he could tell by the quickening wind and the green shine of my necklace that he was in trouble again.

My hands came up and around my head as I chanted. With a quick movement, my palms were spread out flat facing towards him, a whisper of green earth energy snaking towards my target. The Leaves with razor ice edges slammed into him, he put up his arms, defending his eyes. I heard a loud 'bing!' sound and looked towards its direction. A fan had appeared over the other side of the stage. Roy had gone down from the pillared area where we had been fighting so I bounded over to the fan.

I mid leap I was caught by a flaming jump from Roy and went crashing to the ground. He jumped over merrily to the fan and daintily hurled it over the edge. "You prick!" I yelled, but I was smiling. Roy grinned mischievously and was making his way back to me, I tried to roll away but I was caught up in a double edge dance and was sent flying backwards. I got up but he was over me with a leap and was about to come down and smack into me but I shocked him with a thunderbolt, excuse the pun. He flew back up onto the pillared area. He came back on the attack.

"Crap!" Roy yelled reflexively as I shielded myself, rolled behind and grabbed him. Slap, slap, Punch, Chuck, "LIGHTNING!" He was blasted up and out of view.

Now he was angry. "RAAAH!!! LET ME HAVE ONE SWIPE AT YOU!" He ran towards me, and jumped into the air, sword raised above his head ferociously. It was scary seeing as I was below him, but I kept my cool and decided to use the age-old butt-busting. . .

"MOONBEAM!" I screamed, the bolt of white light streamed from my fingertips and smashed into his chest, sending him somersaulting backwards. I scrambled up and came face to face with a bobomb.

"GAH!" I screeched as it crashed into me. That hurt, nice bit of damage. I looked up, Roy wasn't here. I leapt up to the platform supported by the colonnade. Not here either. He must have gone below.

Running down I found the gap in the stage leading to the lower level, I confidently made my way down, grinning wildly, I was going to win this one! I would confront Roy and smash him over the edge with a well-placed kick to the chin.

I landed and pushed my hair out of my eyes. To my left was the edge of the stage. I turned to the right and despair flooded into my victory. Roy stood poised, glowing red and shining like a beacon.

"SHI-. ." was all I managed to get out before his sword came crashing down into me, surrounding me with an inferno of flame. I felt myself flying through the air. I slowed, and began to tumble, somersault through the blueness; not knowing which way was up or down.

The tears in my eyes prevented me from seeing much but blue anyway. . . .

~*~*~

The cheers died away as Jasmine went flying off stage, a trail of Fire behind her. She careered out of view for a moment and them smashed into the viewing window with a loud yelp of pain, before the splash of colored lights leapt up showing that she had lost a life.

Elasxa looked over as she appeared in the transforming booth opposite Roy's as he emerged.

"Wow, thought you almost had me there Jaz." Roy said, smiling.

"Yeah, well, I didn't" She mumbled, before pushing past everyone and stalking out from the viewing point.

Roy looked crestfallen and turned to Elasxa who hugged him tight. "Lax, I should of let her win, look at how hurt she is."

"No, Roy, letting her win would have been the wrong thing to do. It wouldn't have been right, and she wouldn't have properly won." Lax said, playing with Roy's Red-brown hair.

"I can't stand a bad loser." Zelda announced haughtily with her nose stuck in the air.

Roy turned on her, snarling "SHUT UP ZELDA! DIDN'T WHAT MARTH SAY THIS MORNING MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU? YOU SUCK! JASMINE WOULD HAVE WON BUT I TRICKED HER UNFAIRLY! OK? GOT IT? Jasmine is a great fighter! She should have won!"

Everyone, especially Zelda looked stunned. She was not impressed at being yelled at for the second time that day.

The booming voice interrupted the arguments. "MARTH AND LINK, PLEASE TAKE YOUR PLACES IN THE TRANSFORMING BOOTHS NOW!" The two young men looked at each other and gave a short nod grimly, before going their separate ways to the green lights.

Elasxa looked at Roy. "Don't worry babes, just let her cool down. She hardly ever gets upset, but every once in a while, she has to let out everything that's been building up inside. I can assure you, she's not going to be angry with you, just herself. And anyway, it's not going to be only that! She just needs to go and think it all over." Roy was somewhat comforted by her words.

The stood not saying anything to each other for a bit until the fight started. Laxy squealed with excitement.

"I don't know who I want to win!" Roy said thoughtfully.

"Marth of course . . . . right?" Laxy blinked at him.

"Hmm . . . It's just, now Jasmine is really upset and it's not like the fact he's being a total jerk to her is helping."

"They just need some time apart from each other. Then they'll be fine."

Roy turned to his girlfriend. "You do know that Marth is in love with her don't you?"

Elasxa's face lit up like a light bulb. "Really?"

"Yes, really, I mean, isn't it obvious?"

"I knew it! Oh Roy! I could kiss you!"

"Please do!" He grinned.

~*~*~

The playing fields were empty and I was taking out my anger on the sandbag. I sent it flying along with an extra strong moonbeam attack. It landed at 35 metres. I was not satisfied; Roy could reach 87 metres with the attack he'd used to KO me.

I sighed and jumped down off the platform, kicking the dust along the measuring path. I felt weak, pathetic and moody. The sandbag stood looking helpless, I prodded it, and then sat down with my back against it. I really hated Marth at the moment; any thought of love had been pushed from my mind when he had tried to scare me in the dining room.

"Hey" said a voice. I thought it was Marth, but as I looked up I saw Link looking down at me.

"Oh, hi Link," I muttered.

"Hey Jasmine, don't feel bad, I just lost my match against Marth." He said with a lopsided grin that I found kind of attractive.

"Really?"

"Yeah," He laughed and grinned, "But not without leaving a couple of arrows sticking out of him."

I found myself laughing. Link breathed in and looked down at me, while leaning against the sandbag. "You have a really nice laugh." He said suddenly.

I didn't know what to say. "Umm, thanks?"

"So. . . . uh," He tilted his head upwards but kept his eyes on me with a boyish grin. God he looked fine like that. "Can I like, take you out sometime?"

I was completely unexpecting this and blinked rapidly at him. "I-I thought you were going out with Zelda?" I stammered.

"Oh her? Nah! I don't like her anymore."

I was stunned for lack of a better word. "So, is that a yes, Jasmine?"

"Yeah sure, why not?!"

"Right, cool, I'll come by your house sometime."

"Great, cool. See you round!" I said, before he grinned, waved and walked off. Shocked was an understatement. My day had gone from fine, to bad, to worse, to suicidal to EXCELLENT! The second hottest guy I had a crush on just asked me out!

"I love you sandbag!" I cried, hugging the sand filled sack. The eyes on the side blinked at me like I was a lunatic and I laughed. I hauled it back to the platform and then ran off the pitches towards the school. People were leaving and knowing Laxy she would have caught the bus with Roy. I didn't want to catch the next bus; I was in the mood for running. I sprinted down the mile long Lylat drive (Yes it's amazing how fast and far you can run when your mood gives you wings) and turned down into my road.

"Number 93 Shigeru gardens!" I sang, eventually reaching my house, cart wheeling across the front lawn and smashing through the door.

"Jasmine!" Laxy cried, shocked.

"ELASXA!" I screamed and swooped her up into a hug.

"Eeh, what made you so happy?"

"Haven't you heard!?" I squealed with glee.

"Yes I have!"

"Link asked me out", "Marth loves you!" We both yelled at the same time, so it sounded more like:

"LmiAnRkTaHsLkOeVdEmSeYoOuUt!!!"

"WHAT!?!?!?!" We both turned and screeched at the same time.

"Oh shit," We said in unison again.

"Not good. . ." muttered Laxy.

"Definitely not good at all." I whispered thoughtfully.

There was a knock on the door and I opened it to reveal Roy. "JAZ!" He cried, leaping on me.

"Glork!" I squeaked, being strangled.

"I'm so, so, so, so sorry!"

"Don't be! I don't mind, really! We have a new dilemma!"

Roy looked at us both. "What's happened?"

"Jaz didn't know that Marth loved her, and Link asked her out and she said yes!" Laxy explained.

Roy's mouth hung open and he looked at me. "You are NOT serious. . ."

I blushed and sighed. "I'm afraid so, Roy."

"Marth is going to be heartbroken. . . . ."

"Well, I mean I used to . . . . I mean. . ." I trailed off, realising that I was really putting my foot in it. Lax and Roy looked at each other, grinned evilly and said, "Go on. . . ."

I was slowly from tomato to burgundy.

"Well, I did like. . . . like, Marth but umm. . . When he yelled at me, I kinda lost interest. . ." I mumbled.

"So you loved Marth?" Laxy grinned like a Hyena on dope.

"Yes," I admitted, gritting my teeth and not moving my lips.

"I knew it!" Roy cried out, almost leaping for joy, "Oh Jaz! I could kiss you! If I didn't have a girlfriend. . . . who is about to flame me to death."

I giggled, but still felt guilty. "So this is fantastic huh? I love him, he loves me, and we can't be together."

"Shit happens," Roy offered me the most educate piece of advice he had for me.

"I didn't notice," I said sarcastically.

Laxy sighed, "What are we going to do?"

"We'll see," I said simply.
