Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep... je suis stupide et mechant. Just whap me now and get it over with. Sorry for the long, long, long, long wait.

Oh and I've slightly changed the plot... as if it had a plot in the first place... but now it does. This will be slightly AU, so don't tell me I didn't warn you. But basically now, all of 'em are college students at SSBM University. (Except them younger 'uns.)

OBUD: *sniff* Nope. Don't own 'em. Never will.

The Bugspray Café Chapter 2

Roy finished his bacon and raced out of the café as fast as he could. Peach blinked. "What's wrong with him?" she inquired.

Zelda merely crossed her arms and said "Hmph."

Link sighed. "Ok, Zelda, did something happen between you and Roy?"

Zelda didn't reply. One minute passed... then two... then ten... then one hundred twenty-five... (2 hours 18 minutes total) and still no response from Zelda. Peach had fallen asleep. Link, however, was staring at Zelda mercilessly. Zelda was looking out the window at the drizzling rain. One by one, other Smashers drifted in and ate breakfast. Zelda broke out of her trance-like state when Marth walked in, dripping and freezing.

"Hey Zelda! Hey Peach! Hey Link! Mind if I sit here?" he asked, indicating the vacant spot next to Peach. "What's up?"

Zelda grinned slyly. "Are you sure you want to know?"

Marth gulped. "Uh... no. Wrong question." He quickly changed the subject. "So, Link, how are the boxing lessons coming along?"

Zelda snickered.

-----Flashback-----

"Ok, Link, I'm going to send you to boxing lessons!" Zelda announced one day.

"Yay!" Link cried joyously. "I get to learn more fighting skills!"

Later that day...

"Have fun at your boxing lessons Link!" Zelda declared as Link exited the vehicle.

"But Zelda..." Link sputtered, staring at the building in front of him. "This is the cardboard box factory!"

Zelda just smiled and drove off.

-----End Flashback-----

Link grumbled. "Just fine," he said sarcastically. He looked outside at the pouring rain and groaned. "Oh great. I promised Aryll I'd come home and help her clean the house today."

Marth sighed. "Why not have the young you do it?"

Zelda grinned. "Because she wanted her big big brother to do it, that's why."

"Since she found out all I am is the older Link, she's been making me do all the high places." Link grumbled. "But still, I am her big brother. I must fulfill my promise to my younger sister. Marth, will you help me get home?"

Marth, however, was poking Peach. "Hey, Princess, wake up. You're the only one with an umbrella here. Wake up."

Peach slowly woke up, perhaps from Marth poking her, or perhaps from Zelda whapping her on the head. "Geez, Zelda, whadja do that for?"

Zelda snorted. "You were snoring. Anyhoo, it's about time for studying... and for Link to help Aryll with her cleaning... and for Marth to go back into the kitchen and make some of those delicious cookies he always makes."

Everyone groaned. "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." they said in unison.

"No complaining!" Zelda griped, glaring at them. Casually, she looked out the window and groaned. "Kirby! I need help!"

Kirby zoomed out of the back. "What's the matter, Princess?"

"Would you mind sucking up all this rain so we can get home dry?" Zelda pleaded.

Peach smiled. "Of course! That's a brilliant idea, Zelda!"

"Why didn't I think of it!" Marth exclaimed.

Kirby, however, was a little reluctant. "I dunno, Zelda... I did just eat... and I am rather full..." He thought for a while more. "I guess I am a little thirsty."

"YEAH!" everyone cheered. "Hooray for Kirby, the rain-stopper!"

"Thank you, thank you. You're too kind." Kirby said sarcastically. (He looked something like this: (--)) He stepped outside, breathed deeply and inhaled all the rain. He then held up a sign stating: "You may want to run home... it's still coming."

Zelda, Marth, Peach and Link ran back to the dorm as quickly as they could, then split ways to their separate rooms. When safely in their room, Peach glared at Zelda. "Ok, Zelda, what's up between you and Roy?"

Zelda sighed. "Not this again..."

"Oh, c'mon, we all want to know." Samus said, smirking as she walked up behind Zelda.

"Geez, Samus, would you give some sort of warning before sneaking up on me like that?" Zelda practically screamed at her other roommate.

"Maybe..." Samus replied slyly. "I could fire my ultra-secret weapon at you... Anyhoo, at least tell us. We won't tell anyone."

Zelda groaned. "Basically, a couple days ago, Roy asked me out and I turned him down. Ok?"

"That can't exactly explain why you two were glaring daggers at each other, now does it." Peach replied, a little cocky.

"Yeah, Zelda, tell us the truth." Samus chimed in.

"That was the truth. And by the way, Samus, what is this ultra-secret weapon of yours that you keep talking about?" Zelda complained.

Samus grinned. "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret."
