Chapter 5

"Ganondorfis scaaarrrryyy..."

Four hours later, Zelda found Ness and Kirby, shivering in a closet in the basement. With a sigh, she yanked them upstairs and outside for five minutes, waiting for their minute little butts to freeze and for them to come to their senses.

"Zelda! ZELDA! Let us in!"

"Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" Link shrieked happily, hands cupped to his mouth as he yelled through the door.

"LINK! Let us in 'fore with bust it down!"

"Yeah, and we'll sic the G-King after you!"

Link immediantly stopped and left to find a corner to whimper in. Zelda sighed irritably and unlocked the door. The two trouble makers stumbled inside.

"Link!" Zelda said sharply, reaching his room. She pushed open the door, her magic unlocking it, to find him under his bed. She pulled him out. She quickly explained the real reason the G-King was acting so strange. Even though she was practically yelling in irritation by the tie she was finished, Link stopped shivering and gave her a blank look.

"What?" he asked.

"He. Was. Just. Worried. About. Sheik." Zelda gritted out, her grip tightening on the front of his tunic.

"Really?" he asked excitedy. Too excitedly. Zelda didn't notice.

"YES," Zelda ground out through her teeth.

"Ha!" Link exclaimed, a grin splitting his face in two. He shot out the door. "Ganon likes Shiek!" he sang as he shot down the corrider.

Zelda twitched as her hands slowly grabbed her hair.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Today had defiantly not been the perfect day for Zelda. Of course, not many days were perfect for her, since she was one of the people around who could keep control over her sanity (ever since Saumas fell in love with the oaf Falcon, she was out of it, too), she was also in charge of keeping everyone else in check.

Amoung her fellow sanity-keepers were Sheik, who was never around anyway except to clean up after everyone, Fox, who was also never around, or he was shooting something, Falco, who get's mad too easily and loses his sanity and shoots something, Mewtwo, who was also never around and was the mansion's therapist, and therefore declines keeping watch at risk of his own sanity, and Ganondorf, who freaks the heck out of everyone.

Causing them to run around like idiots who've lost their sanity.

Marth was also sometimes comforting when he's not busy chasing Roy around, throwing things at the back of his head. A rather large amount of Zelda's time was wasted, wanting to do the same thing, but forcing herself to keep her composure.

But as the day waned, it seemed to get better. She hadn't seen any other occupants of Hyrule since lunch (except for Nabooru, who seemed to constantly pop out of nowhere, heating Hot Pockets), and that was good. And she hadn't seen any of the home school baseball team, the Sluggers, made up of the hyperactive smashers, which was even better. Sheik had mysteriously disappeared, which was nothing new, yet she wasn't there to fix up the living room before it was utterly decimated. The only official couple in the house quickly noticed this and tracked Zelda down for clues.

"I have no control over what my alter-ego does, sorry," was her answer. She was fixed in a pair of blank stares as Zelda went outside to see some sunshine.

It was still chilly out, oddly enough, even at midday. Zelda didn't mind as she sat at one of the benches along the giant rift leading downwards into the valleys below.

A light breeze flitted through, whipping up the Princesse's hair and dress, exposing her ankles to the same, awfully evil wind.

"Ah, Princess Zelda, how have you been on this fine day?" Like said before, Marth was completely tolerable when his red-haired companion wasn't rigging the dining room onto the roof. The blue-haired swordsman sat gently down on the bench next to Zelda, taking off his jacket. "Though a bit, chilly, don't you think?" He draped the fine jacket over Zelda's shoulders. The Hylain smaled slightly as she pulledat the jacket.

"It would be a much better day if everyone else wasn't running around as if they had gone insane," Zelda said cynically, staring out into the valley. Marth gave her a light laugh.

"Don't take everything so seriously. This place wasn't bound for any sort of control or order."

Zelda huffed. "That won't stop me."

"And I see that it doesn't."

Zelda frowned a bit bitterly over the ravine. "It's just suprising that even the most mature out of those who board here are often the most immature. For example, Link. After saving Hyrule, and then saving his alternate 'Termina', he still acts like a child. Even his incarnate behaves more responsibly than him, sometimes."

Marth gave a mocking "ooohh." "Perhaps he's not as immature as you think."

"Perhaps he's not as mature as you think."

"Ah, you have got me, Princess." Marth grinned at Zelda, and she managed an upward tilt of her lips back.

"Thank you for not being so pride-stricken over such a little matter," she admitted.

"I have no need, nor desire to hold grudges over such a little matter. That is more Roy's department."

Zelda gave a hollow laugh. "His department? That's more his continent of the world. I have yet to glimpse a bigger bigot than he."

"Trust me; you'll have to such long and hard for one."

Zelda nodded, and shivered. "But I still do wish that everyone would act their age."

"Well, if no one is acting their proper age, then join them. Join their march of insanity," he suggested, grinning.

Zelda gave him an alarmed look. "What? And then who would make me stop?"

"Me."

Zelda couldn't stop the snort and snicker. Marth gave her an alarmed look: "You know who terrible I am in keeping everyone in line. No one would know you did anything until peace was restored."

Zelda giggled a little more, until a look of inspiration spread over her face. She grinned oh-so-slightly and stood up.

"Thank you, Marth, for your jacket and your words of wisdom, but I do believe I have something to attend to at the current time."

Marth shrugged his jacket back on as he watched the Princess walk back to the mansion.

Minutes later, the sports shed exploded in a storm of heat and flames.

"BOOOOWWWSSSEERRR!" Peach screamed.

Marth quietly got up and rushed to see what happened.
