Chibi Potion Number Nine
Chapter two: So much for Hide and Seek
"Are we there yet?" Marth asked for about the thousandth time that hour. Roy gritted his teeth, fighting to keep calm. Link answered for him,
"No, Marth, we're not there yet." He said. I never ceased to amaze Roy how calm Link could be, "I'll tell you when we get there, okay?"
Marth nodded and obediently kept silent.
"You're treating him like he's five years old," Roy looked up at Link. The Hylian (is that how you spell it?) Swordsman shrugged,
"He's acting like he's five years old." Was his answer. Roy nodded glumly and continued on.
The little group had walked for maybe a half hour more, when something clicked in Roy's mind,
"It's quiet, Link," he said stopping dead in his tracks, "To quiet."
Link didn't even turn around when he spoke,
"Where did you dig that line up?" he asked, "A mystery novel?"
Roy frowned, watching Link as he stared in the other direction.
"Don't you think it's been really quiet since you told Marth to shut up?"
Link shrugged,
"Dunno, don't care." He answered. Roy disregarded the Hylian, though and turned around scanning the woods for Marth. What he saw made him freeze in (almost) complete terror. When the (almost) complete terror was gone Roy sprinted in the other direction. As he past Link he yelled over his shoulder at the top of his voice,
"HE'S GOT A TREE BRANCH! RUUUUUUUN!"
Link turned around, but promptly followed Roy's example and ran for his life. And, as he ran, Link looked over his shoulder and yelled back at Marth,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING MARTH!"
He watched as the sword master grinned and held his tree branch up over his head,
"I decided I didn't want to play Hide and Seek!"
"Then what the heck is this!" Roy yelled frantically.
"Extreme Tag!" Marth shouted, swinging the tree branch around like a club. Link shot a glare over towards Roy,
"What the heck did you do to him Roy!" he yelled.
"Me?" Roy's voice came shrill with surprise and anger.
"Yes, you!" Link yelled back, "Marth was with you all day! You're the only one who could have—OOMF!"
Alas. The poor Hylian was struck with the deadly tree branch of doom. And he fell into the dust.
It took Roy a moment to realize that the tree branch had been thrown, and Marth was yet to catch up to him. The swordsman skidded to a halt and ducked behind one of the trees, peeking around to see where Marth had gone. He blinked.
There was Link, sitting on the ground with his hands clasped over the bump on his head, trees, grass, bushes, and the tree branch Marth had been using. But there was no Marth.
"What…?" Roy voiced his thoughts, carefully slipping from his hiding place. "Link, where did her go?"
Link looked up,
"I thought he went after you." He said weakly. Roy shook his head.
The eerie silence surrounded them both as the stood wondering where Marth had escaped to when all of a sudden…
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!

a/n: okay, look. I'm sorry for the wait. But the thing here is that, one; this is my first SSBM fic. Two, I had to come up with actual ideas. Three I was a bit short on them. And four, MIDTERMS! They slowed me down. So, if you can wait. It would be nice. I don't like waiting forever for fics to be updated either, but just be happy you haven't waited a whole year. Okay? Thank you. Review.
