KT – DA: Here it is everyone. The moment you've all been waiting for… the epilogue!

Marth: /claps/

Link: yay.

Roy: Has anyone seen Karanos?

KT – DA: um… no.

Roy: Aw… that's too bad. I was going to give her a kiss.

KT – DA: Ah… well, um… while you wait, maybe you could do the stuff?

Roy: Oh, sure. Kuroi Tenshi – Dark Angel doesn't own SSBM in any way, shape, or form. She does own Sarah Holly.

KT- DA: Okay, great. Now, on to the… wait, where's Link?

Marth: He went to get the mail in.

KT- DA: Oh, okay. On to the…

Link: Kuroi! Kuroi! Look what just came in the mail!

KT – DA: What? /takes envelope/ Dear Kuroi… Nintendo… hereby proclaims ownership… Marth… full and complete… sincerely… WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Roy: wow… didn't see that one comin'

Link: yeah.

Marth: She… owns me?

KT – DA: /grabs Marth/ You're mine now! Come on, I'm making a tag to label you! /drags Marth into next room.

Karanos: /enters, laughing/ did it work?

Link: huh?

Roy: Karanos!

Karanos: Meh, I sent her that letter. Photoshopped it to look like the Nintendo letterhead. Thought it would shut up her whining. 'I don't own Marth… boo hoo hoo…'

Roy: Karanos!

Karanos: okay, okay, on to the epilogue.

Getting Over Our Troubles – Two Months Later, or, The Epilogue

Sarah Holly sat in the common room with the other Smashketeers. Her arm was in a sling, though she was sick of it by now. Marth sat next to her, hovering like a protective mother hen. Peach sat in an armchair across from Sarah. The princess was strong enough to hold herself up, and was almost capable of walking around by herself as well. Dr. Mario had worked wonders on her, his medicine restoring her color to her face and giving her new strength.

Zelda sat in a wheelchair next to the couch. She was awake most of the time now, though she could not walk at all. Link, who was lying on the couch, had named himself as her primary care-taker. Roy, however, had named himself as everyone else's primary care-taker, and was running around making sure the girls were comfortable.

"Roy, they're fine!" Link finally snapped, draping an arm over his eyes. "Sit down."

Roy sat, scowling. "I'm just trying to make sure everything is okay."

Sarah suppressed a giggle. "Roy, you're too cute. You'll make a girl happy someday."

The redhead blushed and looked down, mumbling to himself.

"Of course he will. Any girl would love to have a man take such great care of her as Roy does," Peach said with a laugh.

Zelda smiled. "Too bad he doesn't have a girl. Unless he's keeping her secret from us…" she said with a sly grin at Roy.

"Stop it! Talk about something else. Is this the thanks I get for being so nice to you?" Roy cried, making everyone laugh.

Sarah shifted slightly, her sling uncomfortable. "Master Hand told me something interesting this morning." The others turned their attention to her curiously.

"Is something wrong?" Marth asked, sounding concerned.

Sarah shook her head. "No, nothing to be worried about." She shifted again. "He's retiring at the end of this season's tournament."

Peach and Zelda both gasped. "He is? Oh, dear, that will be strange, having a tournament without him around," Peach said.

"Has he chosen someone to run the tournament after him?" Link asked.

Sarah blushed lightly. "Well, yes. He's asked me to do it."

Zelda smiled and clapped her hands. "That's wonderful! Congratulations!"

"But don't tell anyone yet. He doesn't want it formally known until the end of the season," Sarah said, lowering her voice.

Roy grinned mischievously. "Oh, wouldn't dream of telling. Nope, not a soul…"

Sarah scowled. "Roy…"

"He's kidding," Marth said, glaring at Roy. "Trust me, he's kidding."

Roy sighed. "Fine, fine."

Peach turned to Sarah. "Wow, you'll need a Personal Assistant! Who are you going to pick?"

"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it," Sarah said. "I'll have to hire someone, I guess."

Marth put a hand on her shoulder lightly. "I'll help you, My Lady."

Sarah smiled at him.

Link sat up. "'My Lady?' Whatever happened to the plain old Milady?"

"I…er…" Marth blushed.

Peach sighed, sounding exasperated. "Oh, Link, are you really that dense? He's referring to her as his."

Sarah spluttered. "I… what… Peach!"

Peach winked at her. "I told you that you were falling in love with him, remember? I was right, wasn't I?"

Sarah just blushed.

Roy looked confused. "Wait… did I miss something? When did this happen?"

Everyone laughed. "Oh, Roy…" Zelda said.

"What?"

Sarah sat back in her chair carefully and sighed. For the first time since Zelda's accident two months ago, she truly felt that everything would turn out fine.

KT – DA: Oh, did you already start the chapter?

Karanos: it's finished. You missed it.

KT – DA: Oh. That's okay. There's the sequel to work on, anyway.

Marth: Sequel, My Lady?

Roy: Oh, boy, now he's using two words, too.

KT – DA: Yes. There will be a sequel! All rejoice!

Link: yay. Does it star me?

Karanos: no.

KT – DA: The next one will be… well… a surprise! You'll just have to read it to find out! It will be a romance, though, and I promise it will be better than this one was.

Marth: So, is this it? Is Getting Over Our Troubles over?

KT – DA: Yes, it is. We're packing up and leaving. Got to move on to the next story!

Roy: Thanks for sticking with us this whole time, for being patient, and most of all, for reviewing!

Link: Speaking of which… see that little button down there? Push it. Now.

KT – DA: See you all later!
