Chapter Two: Mario's Song Idea, leading to Roy's Inspiration.
As soon as he was done with breakfast, Roy excused himself, and ran upstairs. "Probably to go write a love note to his sweetheart," sighed Falco enviously. Fox nodded agreement.
Roy closed the door, and sat on his bed, thinking. "I have the idea: Seize the Day!… Now what should I do to get Zelda to fall in love with me…?" Roy tapped his foot as he always did when he was thinking hard enough. "Waugh! I need music!" Roy walked to the radio, and hit "On". And what song should be playing then… "Oh, no… Just what I need! I know she will be loved!" he argued to the radio, which was playing Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved". "This is perfect… Absolutely perfect!"
Roy could hear Mario saying something to himself. "What should come after earrings…?" he asked.
Roy blinked. "After earrings? What's Mario writing…" So he crept up to Mario's door, pressed his ear to the door, and eavesdropped.
Inside, Mario scratched his head thoughtfully. "3 earrings… I got it!"
And he wrote:
On the first day of Valentines Day here's my gift to you:
A per-perfectly-ee washed peach.

Mario stopped. "Soft Tacos?" he asked curiously as he reread his song.
On the other side of the door, Roy had a very confused/strange expression on his face. "What the… Is Mario writing a Valentines Day song from a Christmas song? Oh, God… He did this at New Years Day and Groundhogs Day…"
Flashback: New Years Day…
Mario took a deep breath as he finished the last part of his song.
"On the twenty-fifth day of New Years Day, here's a simple wish from me:
25 happy Smashers
24 plates of pasta

And the best wishes to us all!"
Mario gave a deep bow. "Thank you!" he said happily to the whole applauding Smashers.
And that ends the Flashback…
Roy sighed. "I won't even THINK about Groundhogs Day!"
Zelda walked down the hallway, and saw Roy eavesdropping on Mario's door. "Uh… Roy?" she asked uncertainly.
Roy jumped in surprise, causing him to hit his head on Mario's door. "OUCH! God that HURT!"
"Huh?" Mario opened his door, and saw Roy chuckling nervously while rubbing his forehead. "Roy? Were-a… Were you spying on me-a? Or were you eavesdropping on me-a!"
Roy glanced nervously at Mario, then at Zelda. "Uhm… You co—You could sort of say that… I was curious about what song Mario was writing this time…"
Mario brightened. "Really! Wow, I have a fan-a here! Well, if you must know-a…" Mario shuffled his feet nervously. "You won't-a tell anyone, Zelda, Roy?"
Zelda shook her head. "Nope! Secrets safe with me!"
"Yeah!" said Roy a bit too loudly. "Me too!" My… My hearts beating so fast… Me and Zelda… are making a promise simultaneously… Is this a sign!
Mario seemed to relax. "Okay, I'll tell you-a…" he looked left and right down the hall. "It's a love song-a… For Peach-a… That I wrote myself-a…"
"A love song?" repeated Zelda. "Well, isn't that sweet of you! I'm sure Peach will be impressed! Maybe you could serenade her at night!"
Mario's cheeks were slightly pink. "Maybe I could…"
Roy thought a bit too. Maybe I could… Maybe I could write a poem for Zelda… "YES!" he suddenly yelled.
"Roy!" asked Zelda. "Yes what? What was that for?"
Roy suddenly went sunburn. "Uh, I was just thinking about going to my Target Test to try to break my record… I feel like I could do a good job…"
Zelda smiled. "Oh, really? Well, I wish you luck… I'm going to change into my green-battle dress… I'm going to challenge All-Star Mode at Normal Level…"
"Don't worry! You'll do fine!" assured Roy, putting a hand on Zelda's shoulder. "It'll be hard, Normal Level, but if you just stare intently into the light, you'll make it!"
The Hylian Princess looked into Roy's eyes, and smiled gratefully. "Thank you, Roy."
Mario looked up at Roy and Zelda, who were holding each other's gaze. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Ain't that cute?" he asked, breaking the silence.
Roy blinked, and looked down at his boots, blushing furiously. "Uhm… So-So I'm off…"
Zelda looked a bit flushed too. "Ra-Right! See you later!" she hurried to her room.
Our redheaded swordsman sighed. "I'd better get going, then…" he shuffled to the Portal. "Target Test," he said, enunciating clearly. Seconds later, he was transported to his Target Test arena. "Here's a good place to think…" he said, sitting against the wall.
Over with Zelda…
Zelda sighed, staring at her reflection. Maybe green wasn't her color… Or was she thinking of a certain swordsman? "Oh, this is ridiculous!" she said finally, standing up. "I have an All-Star Mode in Normal Level to do!"
Don't worry! You'll be fine! It'll be hard, Normal Level, but if you stare intently into the light, you'll make it!
Zelda slapped herself. "Focus, girl! You're about to go challenge Normal Mode!" With a determined frown on her face, she walked to the Portal. "All-Star Mode, Normal Level!" she said, and transported to All-Star.
How do you like them apples? It could turn into a Roy/Zelda pairing… If Roy can find the courage to tell Zelda how he feels… Without Lee finding out. This is getting interesting, no? See you in a bit!
