The Secretest Santa: Chapter 4: The Wish List

It was lunchtime by the time the two arrived. After removing their damp jackets and boots and hiding their gifts, Link and Marth joined their fellow Smashers in the cafeteria, helping themselves to whatever was being served. But Link avoided the eggnog.

He sat down by Zelda and quickly started on his warm beef stew. Zelda noticed his presence and smiled at her boyfriend.

"Hello, Link," she greeted, receiving a nod of greeting in return (his mouth was full of food). "Where've you been all day?"

Link swallowed. "Out."

"Out where?"

Marth sat on the other side of Link. "He went with me to the mall."

Hearing this, Roy, who was sitting across the table, grinned mischievously. "Wow, is Link already getting his Christmas shopping done??"

"Lay off," the elf grumbled.

"Don't get him mad, Roy," Zelda smirked. "You never know if he's your Secret Santa!"

"Yeah," Link grinned, catching on. "If I was your Secret Santa, I could just as easily take the gift back!"

A look of shock and apprehension crossed Roy's face. "N-no way! Link can't be my Secret Santa!… Can he?"

Link smirked. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. You'll find out Christmas morning!"

Roy twitched, then groaned, "Aw, I hate it when you do that!"

Link went back to his food, savoring his private victory of striking fear into Roy. He was always fun to mess around with.

Link left the cafeteria upon finishing his lunch, strolling towards his dorm by himself. Not really thinking about it, he entered the lounge and planned to enter through the Snowman-door. Why he decided this, he didn't know.

While passing by, Link looked up at the bulletin board, where the latest SSBM news was posted up for everyone to see. One piece of paper caught his eye. It was simply titled, "Wish List," and the names of each and every Smasher ran down the list with a few items by each of them. Link focused on one item for each name, slowly glancing down the list:

Mario- A new sport set- any sport, doesn't matter!

Pikachu- Warm clothes in my size

Bowser- The Special Edition Scary Movie Trilogy on DVD!!!

Peach- A warm, fuzzy robe

Yoshi- Bright colored markers for coloring

Donkey Kong- Donkey Konga game set

Captain Falcon- Model planes or cars

Fox- Any new book series- I want to try something new

Ness- Game Boy Advance SP

Popo & Nana- Summer clothes

Kirby- Anything involving food! )

Samus- Halo 2

Zelda- The halter-top dress at Woman's Boutique

Jigglypuff- Karaoke machine

Pichu- More neato accessories

Falco- Membership for the Laser Tag Arcade

Marth- A new CD player- my old one's broken

Young Link- More Yu-gi-oh cards

Ganondorf- ………

Mewtwo- Incense burner

Luigi- Encyclopedia of the Supernatural, Vol. 6

Roy- Electric guitar

Mr. Game and Watch- Any game with a collection of retro games

Link stared at the piece of paper in thought. Then, looking around to make sure no one else was around, he brought out a pen and a memo pad, and began to fiercely scribble down the list. When he was finished, he flipped the pad closed and proceeded through the dorm door in thought. "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" echoed through the room.

But this time, it didn't seem to bother him as much.

A/N: Wow, that chappie was short.

Cortex: I certainly hope all the chapters are like that… OW!!

Crash: (hefting his stick and grinning)
