Until the Very End

In the next dormitory over, there was Zelda and Zelda alone. Because she was a princess and a rich one at that, she had gotten what seemed like her own house. Not that she was particularly snobby, but because she simply enjoyed her own personal space.
To continue, Zelda would be hosting a sleepover that night inviting all her best friends. Of course she invited Peach and Samus, who had always been there for her in the past. But believe it or not, those two friends where the only other girls participating in the Smash League. That would not do for Zelda. So because most of the characters in Nintendo Land had the week off, she knew the only other option was to invite friends from out of town.
From Hyrule, Zelda's kingdom, she invited Saria, the sage of the forest and Link's girlfriend. She also invited Malon, daughter of a wealthy ranch owner.
From League of Lycia, she invited Wendy, who originally lived in the city of Ostia, until she met Roy. They immediately fell in love and Wendy moved back to Pharae with him.
Zelda really didn't have much to do to prepare for the party. Since all her guests were mature, she felt no need to put up streamers, balloons or other decorations one might use for a party. Instead, she spent most of her time cleaning her dorm.
After what seemed like hours, Zelda had finally dusted, polished and picked up all of her dormitory. She played with her furniture a bit to make sure that the living area was functional for both holding conversation and laying out sleeping bags. Against the south wall, she put a coffee table and chairs. She liked this arrangement because the whole wall was made of windows, giving an excellent view of the mountains outside. She pushed the rest of the furniture up against east and west walls so that the middle of the room was wide open for people to sleep.
Finally, Zelda laid out her own sleeping bag on the floor.
"There now," she said admiring the light pink room. She pushed her long hair out of her tranquil blue eyes and looked out the window. Like Peach, Zelda had also gotten lost in the beauty of that fall day.
A few dorms over, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Bowser and Donkey Kong were all lounging about grumpily.
"Look at this place!" ordered Captain Falcon. "We can't even see the floor!"
"So what," mumbled Ganondorf. "It's not like we have anybody coming over, so who cares?"
"I care," said Captain Falcon in a softer tone.
"He's got a point, Gannon," added Bower. "Hey, during anger- management classes, me and Donkey learned a game to help "relieve the stress of clean' in up"."
"Great. Who was your teacher, Barney?" asked Ganondorf mockingly.
"Eeekkk- Oookkk!" screamed Donkey Kong as he pounded his fist angrily on the arm of the chair.
"Whoa, take it easy there pal. Remember? Deep breathes, in, out, in, out…" cooed Bowser.
"Whoooooo- heeeeee, whoooooo- heeeeee." went the giant ape.
Captain Falcon and Ganondorf looked at each other, then at the odd pair sitting across from them.
"So, what's this "game" of yours?" asked Captain Falcon.
"Well," started Bowser, "Let's say we are trying to pick up all the clothes on the floor. One person would stand near the laundry basket while the two others would station themselves around the room. The last man would pick up the clothes and pass them to the two other guys standing around. Those two would pass the clothes to the guy near the basket."
"Like a relay race?" questioned Captain Falcon.
"Yep!"
"It's worth a shot. Right Gannon?"
Ganondorf rolled his eyes and muttered curses under his breath.
"Okay then! Let's get started!" concluded Captain Falcon as he jumped off the couch.
When everyone had gotten into place Bowser yelled, "Go!"
Ganondorf picked up one of his smelly, old sneakers and pegged it at Captain Falcon's head.
"This is going to be a long week," thought Donkey Kong.
Meanwhile, Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff and Mewtwo where all scurrying about, trying to pick up their own dormitory. Their living area was the smallest, for they had no use for beds or rooms. They slept and practically lived in Poke' balls. However their beloved trainers, Ash, Misty and Brock would be coming tonight and would need a place to stay. All there really was to do was dust and lay out the makeshift beds they had put together a bit earlier. Pikachu, Pichu and Jigglypuff carefully sped out each blanket and fluffed every pillow that was to be used. Mewtwo sulked in the corner as usual. He hated humans and therefore did not have a trainer. In a relatively short time, all the work had been done and it was time to wait for their guests to arrive.
Throughout the afternoon, all the Smashers worked together to get their rooms to sparkle and shine. However that evening, almost everyone's stomachs were full of butterflies. Especially Roy's.
After a hard day of cleaning, Roy was happy to escape the dorm and see Wendy. He had found his "regular" clothes and was wearing a pair of cargo shorts and a black t-shirt. Over the t-shirt was the same red sweatshirt that had traumatized Young Link earlier. His crimson red hair shined against the sky, which had long since begun turning various shades of orange and pink. The hallway he was walking down was made of glass, save the floor, which was a light colored wood that creaked when you stepped on it. Outside the wind swirled and tickled the trees till they dropped their leaves.
"Winter is approaching fast," realized Roy.
At the end of the hallway was a glass door leading to the outside world. Roy stepped out into the cold and took a deep breath. The chilly air all but froze his lungs.
He looked around the area and saw a young girl about his age, leaning against the side of a brick building now in front of him. Her hair was a beautiful pink color, with dazzling light green eyes. She wore what looked to be the uniform of one who attended classes at the Nintendo private school. A white dress shirt with a black tie, skirt and blazer. Around her neck was a long, red woolen scarf.
"Wendy!" called Roy happily as he ran up to her.
"Oh, Roy! It's great to see you again! I missed you so much." Said Wendy softy as she through her arms around Roy's neck.
"I'm so glad you're here," murmured Roy. Then, he leaned forward and their lips met in a soft kiss.
"This is why I love him," thought Wendy. "He's always so kind and gentle around me.
When the kiss ended, an icy wind whipped at their faces and chilled their previously warm lips.
"Well," began Roy, "I guess I should help you find your way to Zelda's."
"Do I have to go? I want to spend my time with you."
"I'll see you tomorrow. We can spend the whole day together if you want."
"I'd like that very much." said Wendy sweetly.
They both smiled lovingly at each other and began to head back through the door.
