Avalon and Bow were visiting before Cherry arrived.
"Oh, Avalon, you never did show me the pictures of that finacee' of yours."
Avalon blushed. "Just remember, he's going to be my husband. He's so handsome, and strong, not to mention he is very sweet. He's so perfect..."She said dreamily.
"Just show me the ones you took of him while he was asleep on your plane."
Avalon giggled. "Don't ever tell him I showed you. He doesn't know I took them."
"Why did you take them then?" Bow questioned.
Avalon blushed and put her ahnds to her cheeks. "I thought he was an angel. I wanted to see if he showed up on film."
Bow laughed at Avalon. "he can't be that beautiful."
Avalon reached into her bag, and pulled out the photo album of Link. She took it everywhere. Bow opened it up, and gasped. "Oh my heavens... Avalon, you do want to better your kingdoms conditions? How would you like one million gold to help your people?"
Avalon smiled. "Oh that would be so helpful!!!"
"Good, because King Nimbus is offering one million gold to anyone who can get this guy's autograph for him. King nimbus has a statue of him in his palace."
Avalon gasped, and scrambled for the phone.
"I thought the statue was pretty, but this guy is beautiful." Bow whispered. "And I was right, he is marrying a drop dead gorgeous human with blond hair and a small waist."
"King Nimbus is coming to the wedding now. He said that he was excited. He wants to shake Link's hand and have a picture taken with him."
Bow laughed and fanned herself. "You know what? It's so sad that your dreadful sister Daisy isn't coming. The wicked bitch she is, she refuses to attend because your king isn't human. Isn't that rude? I think if you love him, it is wonderful. If I married a koopa, I bet your sister wouldn't come to the wedding either. Your sister is a cow, and she married a pig. Nobody I know complained about THAT marriage."
Avalon smiled, as she started toward the bath. "I was a little upset, but once I met Link, I was over it."
"I would have been over anything after meeting a hunk like him. I mean, as sad as this may sound, Leo and Link are the two most attractive men I've ever met."
Avalon grimaced at the mention of the name.
"I'll pick up your dress from across the way while you are bathing." Bow announced.
"Alright." Avalon called from beyond the locked door. She was using Cherry's hotel room shower. Cherry also stayed in the finest suite, just a different hotel. The bellhop had let Avalon in, knowing she was trustable.
Bow hurried out through the door, literally. No need to lock it, because she hadn't unlocked it. Across the street, Avalon's dress was being finished. Bow floated in, and made her way toward the counter. To her utter shock, the handsome groom-to-be was in there, whispering to the florist.
"I want it to be a surprise, so make sure you don't tell ANYBODY. My lovely little Avalon knows everyone in town, so one slip could cause the whole thing to be ruined. I want to surprise her. I think this will be a good one."
The florist nodded. He was a blue yoshi with a strange clump of orange hair on top of his head. "This is a great surprise. I can't wait to see it happen. The whole town is shutting down so that we can all see your wedding."
"This will cheer her up, I hope. She's really upset about the thought of living on a farm."
Bow became invisible and eavesdropped.
"I don't blame her. Losing the kingdom... that's got to feel awful. That man should pay for what he did. And what he's doing to Avalon's sisters too? Did you hear what he did to Cherry? There are rumors flying all over about him."
"Avalon cringes at the mention of his name. I will avenge her, when I get the chance I'm going to do to him just what he did to her. Exactly... he will hurt when I'm finished. He will cry like a little girl..."
Bow cringed. She knew they were talking about Leo. He had taken over the kingdom, and now Link was going to rape him.
Bow appeared. "Link, don't do it! You can't sink to his level! Even though he hurt your queen, you have got to let it go! Leo will get what's coming to him! Don't rape him!!"
Link's jaw dropped. "I never said I was going to do that!!"
"You just said you were going to do to him what he did to her..."
Link's eyes got a sort of mystical flame in them, as he rushed past Bow, not knowing he could go through her, which would have been easier. He would kill Leo the very next time he saw him. It was time. He had finally found out what happened, and it was too late to stop his decision.
Link got dressed, silent, rarely speaking more than one or two sentences when the boys tried to make conversation.
"You look... really mad Link. What's the matter?" Wario sat next to Link on the bed.
"Leo is going to die tonight. I am going to kill him with my bare hands... A little green ghost told me about why Avalon hates him so much... now I hate him even more than she does."
Mallow, Booster and Wario all looked at one another, then back at Link. Mallow spoke up. "Um, what did he do?"
"He took away her innocence! That brute attacked my princess, and defiled her! Oh, my poor darling..." He paced, his hands behind his back.
Wario stood up. "You mean, what's what happened? I never knew... Now I hate the guy. Bow knew all along and she didn't say anything to us. I guess it's something that was supposed to be kept between the two of them."
"Well she let it slip, and now we're all gonna go after Leo." Wario announced, jumping from the bed, and searching for a weapon of some sort. "Let's go, guys."
"You are not going anywhere." Link snapped, unsheathing his sword. "I swore to avenge her, and I will. A good knight always keeps his promises." He whispered, as he bolted for the door.
Bow floated inside the room. "You are not going to ruin this day, Link. Avalon is very excited, and bloodshed on her wedding day might just ruin everything for her."
Link sheathed his sword again. "You should have told me what... that beast did to my queen. I could have finished him off months ago."
"She's ashamed because of it! She would die if she found out you all knew! Just let it go, Link, Wario, Booster, and you too Mallow... let it go."
Mallow cracked his fluffy little cloud-man knuckles. "I can't let it go. I don't see how any of us can, really. Maybe not today, but someday, all of us will get in our licks, for Avalon's pride. I will never let her find out why I harmed Leo, but I have a feeling he will know why."
"I can't let it go either. Avalon stood up for me when I announced that I was gay, and my brothers kicked me out of the house. She let me move in with her, and she never felt uncomfortable having me around at all. I can't just let Leo get away with it. I won't ruin her day, I will beat up on Leo when Avalon is happy at home, away from knowing what's happening."
Bow appeared directly in front of Link and shook her fan at him, squinting her eyes with anger. "What's this about you two losing the kingdom to somebody and living in a farm house?" She demanded.
"I don't think I should tell you, any of you, it would just make you angrier than you are already!" He exclaimed.
"Tell me!" Bow yelled. Being that she was a boo, the noise even scared Link. He fell on the bed in surprise. "Or I will have Wario tickle you until you do so!" As she said this, Wario moved toward Link, wiggling his fingers and smiling evilly.
Link jumped up from where he was, with surprise and fear. "Fine! I'll tell you! The chancellor said that Avalon couldn't marry me because I have pointy ears, so we left. There's a lot more to the story than that though..."
Bow waited patiently for a moment. "Tell me, we have time. Cherry is getting Avalon ready, I'm not needed over there, and you're already dressed. So, divulge to me what's exactly going on or both Wario AND Mallow will tickle you."
Link looked even more frightened. "When I was at the palace a few nights ago, the Chancellor arranged a meeting with me, in which he offered me a large sum of money, if I agreed to leave and never come back. I refused, and he went on to tell me about how he had been paying off all of the men whom had an interest in Avalon. He said that he was afraid I was after her money, and when I asked for her hand in marriage, he offered me even more things, including a piece of the kingdom Avalon dind't even know existed! It's called the Dark Kingdom, or something like that."
Bow shrieked. "That bastard! He has the deed to my land? I had no idea there was even a deed for it..."
"I guess there is!" Link replied. "Please let me finish, since you will have your friends defile me if I don't."
Wario wiggled his fingers. "You're damn right, fairy boy."
Link cringed again. "Um... so after I refused again, he said I couldn't marry Avalon because a neighboring prince had given him ten million to purchase Avalon's hand in marriage. That evening, the new suitor arrived, Avalon and I acted like pigs to get him to leave, and he did. The chancellor was angry with the young queen's actions, so he said she couldn't have the kingdom if she decided to marry me. So, we left, with the chancellor's charge card. I bought a small farm with the money I had, and she used the Chancellor's bank account to get the place remodeled... which I was not happy about, because that is stealing and it makes us as low as he is."
"No, you could NEVER be as low as he is. He kicked his daughter out because she loved someone... that's low. Just because you have different ears, he thinks you're inhuman? That's so... racist."
"I'm not human. I'm Hylian." He announced, proudly.
An awkward silence fell over the room.
"Do Hylians have the same... 'parts' humans do?" Booster questioned.
"What a stupid question. I have seven toes and three eyes like every other human... No, actually, humans and Hylians are virtually the same, except for the ears."
Wario looked down at Link's feet, cautiously. His feet were covered in manly black boots, which laced on the side. "Can I see your... extra toes?"
Link looked at him as if he was an idiot.
