Chapter 3

When the Smashers got back, they were exhausted, VERY exhausted.

"That…is the LAST time I'll ever dance with a very hyper girl!" said Samus, panting.

"My legs are numb!" said Young Link, also panting.

Link laughed a little, "So are mine!"

Marth was just about to walk into his room, until someone stopped him.

"Uh…hi, Zelda!" he said.

"Hi!" she said, "Did you have fun?"

"Yeah….almost...as much as you did." Marth said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Zelda looked down at her feet. She seemed like she was hiding something.

"Marth?"

He didn't answer. That's when Zelda noticed that Marth's face was red. Zelda's eyes widened.

"Marth…your blushing, aren't you?"

"Whatever do you mean?" he asked, pretending not to know.

"Marth…your BLUSHING…aren't you?"

"Well…uh…yes." Marth smiled and turned away.

"Why?" Zelda asked.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Uh…sure."

"What if a guy had a crush on you?" Marth asked.

"Someone already does." she responded.

"But what if the guy that had a crush on you is someone you know?"

"I already know who he is!"

"And what if the guy that liked you, danced with you during a certain time?"

Zelda thought for a moment, "I…uh…."

Then it dawned on her. She turned to Marth.

"YOU!" she said, "It was YOU that sent me the—"

"Yes it was!" he responded, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it!"

Zelda was almost speechless, "……Why didn't you say anything before?"

"Because….ugh…I…was too….scared."

"But I already have….." Zelda stopped for a moment. No. She couldn't tell Marth that she already likes another person. Marth already knows, but he didn't care.

"Uh…." Was all Zelda had to say.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, as long as you don't." Marth said with a smile.

"It doesn't seem right."

"I was too scared to tell you at first…but." Marth paused for a moment, "I wanted to…but…Sheik was always in the way." Then he grabbed Zelda's hand.

"I love you Zelda."

Zelda blushed deeply. She, too, had a crush on Marth the day she met him. She was just too shy to tell him. Plus, Sheik was always in the way, but now seemed the perfect time to tell her TRUE feelings fir him.

"I...uh...I..." But she was too nervous.

"What?" Marth asked.

"Um...would it shock you if I said that I had a crush on you when I first met you?" she asked.

Marth's eyes widened. Zelda has finally told the truth about him.

"You what?" he asked, a little happy.

"Didn't you hear me?" she asked, "I had a big crush on you when I saw you, but I was too scared to tell you!"

Marth smiled. Then Zelda remembered.

"But…if Sheik finds out…." she asked.

"It's better than to have no love at all." Marth said, "Let's keep it between us…ok?"

"Well…..ok." Zelda said, blushing a little.

"Thanks." He said. He kissed Zelda's hand and walked off.

Zelda was scared. She was stuck between Sheik and Marth. Now she has a choice, the most difficult choice she's ever had to make…..dumping one of them to receive the other.

This is going to be the most difficult Decision she is ever going to make.
