Chapter 10
"Luigi!" said Mario.
"What's-a-with-a-the fighting?" he question Mario. Mario shrugged.
Link sat down under a tree and rested his back against it. He closed his eyes and sighed, and then he found himself drifting off to sleep.
Fox tapped his fingers on the picnic table where he was sitting. He sighed softly.
"What's with you?" asked Falco, sitting where Fox is sitting.
"Didn't you contact Slippy and Peppy yet?" he asked Falco.
"I did earlier." said Falco, "But they didn't pick up."
"…..That's weird, Peppy and Slippy always has their Communicators on." Fox said worriedly, "I wonder why they"
"Uh…Fox." Falco said, worriedly.
"What?"
Falco pointed towards Link. 3 Scorpions were climbing up his leg.
"…….Uh-oh." said Fox.
"Should we wake him?" asked Falco.
Fox nodded, "I think that's a good idea."
But Link opened his eyes before Fox and Falco could alert him. He felt something tickle his leg. He looked down, and saw the Scorpions. Link freaked out, he got up screaming and trying to dust off the Scorpions.
"GET OFF ME!" he cried, "GET'EM OFF ME!"
The others heard the yelling, and ran to see what it was, but Bowser and Ganondorf were the first ones to whiteness it(After Falco and Fox). They tried to contain their laughter.
"What's going on!" Zelda said, getting out of her tent.
Ganondorf and Bowser burst out laughing.
Marth ran to the source of the noise, and then saw Link, who looked like he saw a ghost. His skin was also pale like a ghost.
"What happened?" asked Marth to Link, "Are you ok?"
"I hate Scorpions!" he said.
"Eh…wha?" Marth was confused.
Link was speechless for a moment. Then he collapsed. Marth caught him, and then his body fell limp.
"Link?" he said, there was no answer.
"Link!"
"Sheesh, what's wrong with him?" asked Bowser.
"I think he just fainted." said Fox.
Marth rolled his eyes, hosted Link on his shoulders, and walked off.
Meanwhile.
Samus tapped his fingers angrily. He and Sheik were playing cards, and Sheik is winning.
"Lay down what you got!" said Sheik.
"Yeah, whatever." Samus mumbled. Then he was happy.
"Six aces!" he said, laying down the cards.
Sheik laughed a little, "Royal flush!" he said as he laid down the cards.
"Wha?" Samus took off his helmet to see what Sheik had, he was right.
"ARRRAAAA!" Samus was angry. He threw down his helmet. Then he got off the table and flipped it over. Sheik fell to the ground with the table on his stomach.
"Oof!" he coughed.
"Samus!" said Zelda, putting her book down, "Calm down, will you?
It's just a game."
Samus growled and walked away, leaving Sheik where he's at.
"Um…Samus." he said with concern, "A little help here?"
"Help yourself!" Samus shouted.
"Some Friend YOU are!" he said as he tried to get the table off himself, but couldn't.
"I CAN'T BREATH!"
C.Falcon rushed over to Sheik and flipped the table over. Sheik tried to get up, panting.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"I will be…thanks." Sheik said to C.Falcon.
Falco rolled his eyes.
"We're-a-here!" said a familiar voice.
"Huh?"
Sheik turned around. He saw Mario and Luigi sitting down at a picnic table.
"Where have you guys been!" he asked.
"Sorry, but we had a little Scorpion trouble." said Fox.
"What?" asked Samus.
"Link got freaked out, and then fainted. He said something about Scorpions."
"Oh yeah!" said Young Link, "After that incident last month, Link is really terrified of Scorpions."
"What incident?" asked Roy.
"Don't ask." Sheik said.
Zelda looked at the sky. "It's getting dark already." she said, "I'm going to my tent."
"I think that's a good idea." said Roy, getting up from the picnic table.
Marth walked off, carrying Link on his shoulders. Young Link was worried.
"Is he going to be all right?" he asked.
Marth smiled, "Don't worry, he'll be fine in the morning."
The others bade their goodnights and walked to their tents. Sheik was just about to go towards his tent, until Zelda stopped him.
"Sheik, aren't you forgetting something?" Zelda asked slyly.
"What?" Sheik asked.
"This." Zelda pulled down Sheik's scarf and kissed him.
Sheik tried not to blush, but it happened anyway. "Uhh…goodnight, Zelda."
"Good night." she said, smiling.
Zelda walked to her tent, but before she went inside, she looked back at Sheik. He was walking towards his own tent. Zelda sighed, and smiled.
She crawled into her tent, buried herself in her sleeping bag, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
