The Valentine Day Gift

Disclaimer: Get ready for a bit of a sad chapter. It's more of a "poem" chapter love song medley. Different sad songs about heartbreak and stuff that run through Roy's head… Till Zelda comes to pay him a visit.

A/N: You only think that because I have Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" playing over and over on the CD player next to me! …Yes, it's a sad song, but I'm not basing the WHOLE fanfic on that one song! Sheesh… Go ahead and read on. Quick warning: Short Chapter.

Chapter Four: A fool to believe in love?

The clock read 8:45 PM. Roy was laying facedown on his bed, thinking. Why was it that he had to suffer this denied love? What fated him to fall in love with Zelda? He'll never forget the first time he met the elven princess of Hyrule…

Flashback, about 1 and a half years ago…

Marth and Roy watched Mario walk away. "Strange… He thought he could speak Japanese…" said Roy, a smirk on his face. Marth sighed and carried his bags up to his room. "Hey, thanks for taking my stuff, too, Marth!"

"Roi-chan! Tasukete!"

"Nope, I'm gonna explore this place! Ja ne!"

"Oi! Aa, Chikushoo…"

Roy smiled, feeling happy. "This will be my new home… I hope I find someone more interesting than Peach and Mario…" he looked into the entertainment room. "Anyone else a newbie like me?" he asked, seeing some other Smashers inside.

Two parka-clad kids turned around, and looked up at the redheaded swordsman. "Yeah, we are!" they said, speaking in perfect unison. "She is Nana, and he is Popo!" they said, pointing at each other. "And we are the Ice Climbers!"

"Uhm… Nice… Anyone else?"

"Hey, Zelda, kid! Come in here! This is the entertainment room!" said an excited voice behind Roy, and a trio of elves walked in. One Roy instantly recognized as Lee, the well-known Nintendian from the original Super Smash Bros. Roy admired that hero, which is why he instantly signed himself and Marth, so they could try to become as famous as Lee.

The other elf was smaller, though he looked like Lee… Only instead of wearing a big cheery smile like Lee, he wore a glare, glaring at anybody who got close enough. He already made poor Pichu run away crying.

The last one had golden blond hair… And when she turned her head to glance around the room…

Uu mai! Thought Roy, heart suddenly beginning to pound.

She locked eyes with Roy and smiled. "Hey, Lee! Look, another swordsman! Let's go say hello!"

Lee looked back, and smiled cheerfully. "Lookie, a new friend!"

Zelda and Lee walked to Roy (Link, a.k.a 'the kid', sat down on a couch). Zelda bowed a bit. "Hello, there! My name is Zelda, Princess of Hyrule!"

"And my name is Lee!" said Lee, shaking his hand vigorously.

"Uhm… Watashi—No, uhm, my name is Roy!" Roy said a bit loudly. "Uh, Princess Zelda?" Zelda nodded. "You don't want me to… uh, kiss your hand or anything, right?"

Zelda giggled a bit. To Roy, it sounded like the calm wind. "No, that's alright. It was nice meeting you, Roy!"

Lee nodded. "Now, Zelda, kid, I need to show you to your rooms!"

Zelda waved to Roy, and followed Lee and Link out of the room.

Roy gaped into space. "Whoa… Zeruda hime…" he smiled tiny lovesick smile. "Koi e shiteru!"

…And that ends the flashback.

"Now I wish I never had fallen in love…" Roy whispered to himself. "Love bites…"

With Zelda…

Zelda was looking into her mirror, brushing her hair. She and Lee had a romantic, candle-lit dinner in Hyrule castle with moonlight adding to the effect. "That was beautiful…" she muttered, struggling with a small knot…

Uhm, here! Read this!

Zelda shook her head. Roy was trying to show her something, but something had stopped him, and it wasn't Green T. with the food and drinks… Could it have been his own heart?

Zelda, girl! You know it! Said a voice in her head. Surely you realized?

Zelda blinked. "Noticed…? Noticed what? All I noticed is that Roy was too embarrassed to show me something.

Well, here's a small hint, Zelda: What is tomorrow? Valentines Day, the Day of hint hint love!

Zelda went a bit red at the cheeks. "But that CAN'T be right…" She stood up and walked to her bed. "That is not possible!" said Zelda finally, and she laid down on her bed, and fell into an uneasy sleep.

With Mario…

Mario sat over his lyrics, wanting to finish this song so he could serenade Peach on Valentines Day tomorrow. "Okay-a… Lets-a go…"

"YESSSSS! I did it!" yelled Mario happily.

"Shut up!" someone shouted from another room. "Some of us are trying to sleep!"

"Whoops…" Mario sighed, and looked over his song. Then he grinned from ear to ear. "Perfect!" he whispered excitedly.
