A/N: Yay, more reviews! Always an excellent incentive to write better Chapters.
the pen pals: Like I've said before, I don't write good romance, it comes out too corny. I really wasn't planning on making a big deal out of the Mario/Peach Link/Zelda pairings(if you could call them that...) I'm also aware of the obvious character problems. There's really not a good way to write the fic having the Princesses there all along, so I, ah, improvised a little when it came to that part. Thanx for the kind words though, most appreciated!
Bballstar42: What can I say, I like to work with Roy!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Yet.
Zelda was a little nervous with this whole idea of Peach's. Scratch that, she was VERY nervous. She was out here, facing down what could very well be the two most powerful beings around to prove a point in a disguise she was almost sure Link would recognize right away. Then again, it had taken him FOREVER to guess who Sheik really was the first time she had used it...
Peach, on the other hand(no pun intended), seemed perfectly fine with the whole idea of lying to Mario and risking her own neck to make a statement. She had chosen to be 'Nurse Peach' for the fight, dressed entirely in white instead of pink. Personally, Zelda thought that wasn't the best disguise Peach could have chosen; everyone would be able to guess right away who she was. Besides, it was nearly impossible to get stains out of white clothing. Just look at her Sheik outfit.
"Don't worry, Zel-I mean, Sheik, this'll be a piece of cake. Look, those two are already at 300 damage." Peach said reasurringly.
"I dunno, those damage meters look different than usual..." Zelda said, frowning. It was true, the damage meters for the Hands were already filled up, and there was different letters next to them for some reason. But before the princess could figure out was was going on, she heard the announcer call out the beginning of the match and sprung into action.
Back in the Teleportation Room, Ness peered at the small screen intently.
"Y'know, I could swear that girl in the white is the Princess Peach..." Ness muttered, his face screwed up in what vaugely resembled a look of intense concentration on his face.
"No it's not! Peach always wears PINK, not white! What are ya, blind?" Captain Falcon declared, thwacking Ness over the head.
"By the way, you shouldn't swear." Kirby told the young psychic, grinning mischeviously.
Samus rolled her eyes. "That joke is about as old as the mayonaise Yoshi stole from you the other day."
"So's that one." Roy pointed out helpfully.
Before what could and most likely would escalate from a mere quarrel into a brawl bigger than the mystery battle, the sounds of the on-screen fight distracted them all.
Peach had just narrowly avoided being crushed by the two Hands as they smashed into each with incredible force. Zelda managed to avoid being hit as well, but used the time that she had used by jumping to gather a good number of razor sharp needles in the palm of her hand. As she landed, she sent the stinging barrage straight into Master Hand.
"Bet that'd be great for sewing..." Peach murmered as she reached down into the hard, metallic floor and pulled up a vegetable nearly the size of DK's head. Balancing lightly on one foot, Peach hurled the turnip at Master Hand with all her strength. She hit Master Hand, but the force of her throw allowed the giant vegetable to bounce off of him and nailed Crazy Hand as well. Before either brother could react, Zelda whipped out a long length of chain and began whirling it around her head. Suddenly, without warning, Zelda let go, causing the chain to wrap itself around Crazy Hand. She pulled hard, squeezing Crazy tight before he managed to break loose.
"Nice. That ought to bring his damage meter up a few more points." Peach said approvingly, and Zelda grinned back. She was actually having fun with this, despite her earlier fears. Before Zelda could do anything else, a hard blow from behind sent her all the way across the stage. Crazy Hand had quickly attacked Zelda in return for her chain attack. Using Fayore's Wind, Zelda just barely made it back to the edge, where she held on for dear life. However, while Zelda's damage meter shot up to 112, Crazy Hand's showed 203, LESS than what he had had before.
Outraged, Peach marched straight up to Crazy Hand. "How could you recover damage by being attacked? Cheaters never prosper, you know!"
"That's for me to know and for you to find out. You should be proud, most Smashers can't even get this fa--" Crazy Hand said smugly, but Peach hauled off and whacked him with a golf club before he could say another word. The attack wasn't overly powerful, but Zelda chose that moment to pull herself up, lashing out viciously with her left foot as Peach hit him with the golf club.
Scowling, Master Hand muttered something unintelligible to Crazy, who nodded vigorously. Each moving to a seperate side of the stage, they began moving in unision, creating a hypnotic effect. Half asleep, the two princesses stared sleepily at their opponents. Suddenly, the Hands began rushing towards each other in an attempt to squish the princesses. Now wide awake, Peach and Zelda had a few close calls, but managed to escape without any serious damage. That is, until the edge of Sheik's veil caught on Master Hand. As he pulled away from Crazy Hand, the veil came with him.
"What are YOU doing here?!" Master Hand hissed angrily, giving Zelda a look that could have frozen water. Crazy Hand couldn't belive it either. A couple of PRINCESSES having the nerve to challenge them! Peach took the time to finish him off with a move of her own creation that she had begun to call the Peach Bomber and a few good kicks. As his meter clicked down to zero, only then did Crazy fly off-screen, leaving only Master Hand.
Zelda then switched back to her regular form, seeing as how her Sheik disguise had already been ruined and used Din's Fire on Master Hand, then finished him off with Nayru's Love. Breathing hard but victorious, Zelda and Peach tried out what Link had referred to as a taunt amid the roars of the crowd around around them.
Meanwhile, the jam-packed Teleportation Center was a scene of mass chaos. Everyone was crowded near the teleporters, awaiting the new champions. Nothing could be heard above the various shouting, and Kirby had somehow managed to inhale the jewel on Ganondorf's forehead.
Ness was bouncing up and down like a ping pong ball, bragging to anyone who'd listen about how he had known the person in white was Peach all along. "See? See!? I toldja it was her!! Next time you'll HAVE to belive me!" Ness shouted in Captain Falcon's ear at top volume as Dr. Mario rolled his eyes.
"I was aware that she was Nurse Peach the entire time! I worked with her for awhile, for heaven's sake!" Dr. Mario shouted at them both, Ness's excitement beginning to grate heavily on his nerves as well as Falcon's.
"I can't belive I nearly fell for that disguise of hers AGAIN!" Link grumbled half-heartedly, attempting to lean against a wall.
"I could have accomplished that as well if I had wanted it so..." Mewtwo muttered under his breath.
Bowser nudged Mario. "Heh, maybe it'll be your girlfriend rescuing YOU next time."
Amid all the excitement, the loudspeakers blared above all else as the two newest Smashers emerged from the teleporters to wild cheering.
'And the new Super Smash Brothers, er, Sisters Champions are--Princess Peach and Princess Zelda!'
I know, this one wasn't very funny...oh well, R&R now please!
