Chapter 6 " Talk to you later, Marth!" Doctor Mario called as he got up from their table and headed over toward Bowser and Ganondorf, who were busy talking to each other.
Marth nodded, and stood heading out of the dinning hall. He casually made his way down pass the dorms, about to head over to the lounge where he is supposed to meet Roy for a couple of games of pool. Before heading to the lounge, Marth decided to stop by the dorm to look for Mewtwo.
Instead of finding Mewtwo, Marth ended up crashing into Roy, who was bent over resting his hands on his knees. He continued to pant, catching his breath. Marth eyed Roy perplexed and headed over to his redheaded friend.
" Roy, I was supposed to meet you at the lounge—what's wrong?" Marth placed his hand on Roy's back.
Roy abruptly stood, with a wide grin and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. " Nothing, I have some news to tell you."
" About?" Marth crossed his arms.
" Well, it's about Ness."
Marth raised an eyebrow, wondering why Roy would bring him news about Ness. Ness wasn't important to them, and he barely communicated with the boy. From the smile on Roy's face, Marth could tell the news was interesting.
" Falco and I were at the lounge waiting for you like planned." Roy started off. " When Falco got up to get some snacks, I overheard Mewtwo and Ness talking behind me. Ness wants to ask Zelda to the dance!"
Marth's eyes widened, as his hands fell to the side. Roy had to be fibbing. There was no way that Ness would want to ask Zelda to the dance, no way at all. First off, Ness is around Young Link's age and the differences between him and Zelda were pretty far.
Marth shook his head. " I don't believe it."
" Why not?" Roy asked dumbfounded.
" Cause it doesn't seem right," Marth answered calmly.
" I know what I heard, I was right near them." Roy explained, the tone in his voice rising.
" Did you ask Ness before jumping to conclusions?"
Roy was silent for a moment. He sighed deeply and shaking his head. " No, but I know I'm right."
" Roy…"
" When I have ever been wrong?"
" Do you really want me to answer that?"
" Come on Marth, why don't you believe me?"
" Cause Ness is what? 8?"
" No!" Roy snapped, " He's a little older than that. Age doesn't matter anyway. He could like older girls."
" I don't believe it."
" Okay…" Roy took a deep breath. " What if I'm not wrong?"
" There's a good chance you are."
" Come on Marth! Answer the question. Work with me here."
Marth sighed deeply, biting his lip. Why was Roy doing this? He was pretty positive that Roy could be wrong. He didn't want to think that Ness liked Zelda, he could have sworn Ness had his sights on the Ice Climber, he didn't know her name.
" Okay," Marth decided to go along with Roy's game. " What if your not wrong then?"
" Then what if Ness asks Zelda to the dance?"
" So? You really think she's going to say yes?"
Roy shrugged, " You never know. She might be fed up with deciding on either you or Link so will go with Ness instead. To make her problems a lot easier."
Marth stayed silent for a moment.
" Think about it Marth," Roy replied, he then walked into their dorm.
Marth stood out in the hallway thinking about what Roy had said. He hated to admit that Roy had a point. To ease her troubles, Zelda might end up going with Ness so she didn't have to pick between him and Link. Then again, he couldn't possibly see it happening.
He decided to figure out the whole situation with Ness on his own. He was going to ask Ness or Mewtwo exactly what they talked about, to see if Roy was correct or not.
There is a good chance, that Roy might actually be right…
" I still can't believe you're going to stay here. You should come back with us. I mean, yea, we're going to miss a couple of days but we'll be back. Those days we miss won't count on us either; Master Hand said so. The only thing that you will mostly be missing is the dance, but come on you've been to one dance you've been to them all…"
Peach sat at the table resting her chin on her palm as she ignored the sentences coming out of Mario's mouth. She fiddled with her fork, watching as she made it continuously circled around the glass of water. She couldn't think straight, mainly because of what she and Link had talked about last night. No one else knows about the little plan except Young Link. At the moment, Link was still waiting for her answer. She had to answer him quickly, before times runs out.
" Peach?"
The plan that Link had explained to her would not only ruin her relationship with Peach, but will also cause Marth to hate her. She didn't want to ruin her friendship with Zelda and surely didn't want her crush to hate her. She could see the tension between Zelda and Marth, and envied it.
" Peach?"
If she told Link that she didn't want to go with his plan then she would disappoint him. She's friends with Link and doesn't want to throw his hopes away with going with Zelda. Link's nice to her, and she should repay the favor.
" Um…hello? Peach you in there?"
Peach blinked, dropping her fork. She looked up at Mario, who anxiously stared back at her. Doctor Mario was now standing behind him. Where did he come from? She had been ignoring Mario the entire time, all because of what Link had told her.
" I'm sorry." She apologized.
" Have you been paying attention to anything I said?" Mario questioned. Peach shook her head, disappointed. " Mama mia." Mario shook his head leaning back in the chair.
" Anyway," Doctor Mario continued, from a conversation that Peach had ignored. " Luigi was looking for you, cause Master Hand wants to speak with you guys."
Mario nodded, " Okay, thanks."
Doctor Mario nodded walking away. Mario turned his attention back to Peach and sighed. " You should rest Peach, you look horrible."
" Thanks," Peach remarked, crossing her arms.
Mario stood and left.
Peach leaned back in her chair, and took a sip of her water. She watched as Mario and Doctor Mario left the dinning hall, leaving her alone with Bowser and Ganondorf on the other side of the room. She likes to come to the dinning hall to think, cause not that many people come here except to eat. Most smashers hang out at the lounge, or Fitness Center.
Peach, looked up when the door opened, and Zelda walked into the room. Zelda noticed her sitting by herself and smiled walking over to her. Peach didn't want to talk to Zelda at the moment, since she would know that something is up. Zelda always notices when Peach isn't herself.
" Hey, how you doing?" Zelda sat down across from Peach in the seat Mario was sitting.
" I'm fine," Peach replied steadily.
" You sure?" Zelda questioned, with concern. " You seem depressed, not the energetic and out-going Peach I remember."
Peach smiled, " I'm fine really."
" Yeah?"
Peach nodded. " So, you figured out who you're going with?"
Zelda shook her head. " Not really, I'm still torn between both of them."
" Is there anyone you want to go with more?"
" I would like to take them both, but I know that's not going to happen. To bad we couldn't double date." Zelda laughed
Peach chuckled, but it didn't come out the way she hoped. She would love to double date, but the problem was both of the guys liked Zelda. No one liked her. She could just picture it now, Zelda being with Link while she took Marth. She wished for it to happen.
Zelda frowned, when she noticed the look upon Peach's face. " Peach, why are you upset?"
" I'm fine, really!" Peach assured her.
Zelda rested her arms on the table, eying Peach closely. She smirked, like she had figured something out. " I know what's wrong."
Peach felt her heart stop. Zelda couldn't possibly know, unless Link or Young Link blurted it out to everyone. " W-what?"
" You're upset because Mario isn't going to the dance, am I right?"
Peach sighed with relief. " Yea, maybe I am a little upset they're leaving." She had to cover it up.
" Well, don't worry, you can find someone else to go with." Zelda exclaimed. " If you want I can help you out."
Peach looked down at the table, and began to play with her fork once again. " No you can't…." she whispered softly.
" What's that?"
Peach abruptly looked up at her friend. " I said, good luck."
Zelda smiled. " I'll find someone for you. I know I can get someone to go with you."
Peach frowned, as Zelda looked around the room. She rested her chin in her palm, fiddling with her fork. She didn't want to go with anyone else. There was no one else she wanted to go with besides Marth.
Peach knew it wasn't going to happen.
" Link! I'm so glad I found you!" Falco exclaimed when he reentered the lounge, finding Link and Young Link sitting on the black leather sofa.
Link looked up watching as Falco hurried his way over toward them. Young Link put his slingshot away, when Falco reached them. Falco had known that the rocks all over his bed where from Young Link, but had important things to take care of.
" You were looking for me?" Link questioned.
Falco sat down next to Link and nodded. " I've been searching everywhere only to find that where I started off is where you guys would be."
" What's up?" Young Link sat on the edge of the sofa so he could see Falco.
" It's something that I heard from Roy, but I don't really know if it's true." Falco explained. " Roy overheard Mewtwo and Ness talking and I guess Ness wants to ask Zelda to the dance."
" Are you serious?" Young Link's eyes widened.
Link crossed his arms, with other things on his mind. Ness wanting to ask Zelda…he couldn't picture it. " You sure?"
Falco nodded. " That's what Roy said he heard."
" Eww, that's nasty. I can't picture them together at the dance." Young Link exclaimed, making a face. " Can you picture her trying to dance with him?" He began to laugh. " She would have to like get down to her knees."
Link ignored the comments his younger self made and turned back to Falco. " Do you believe it?"
Falco shrugged. " I don't know, really. I mean they were talking and all I remember hearing was that Ness was nervous about asking someone to the dance. I don't know who. Maybe they said Zelda."
Link bit his lip and looked around the room. He was deciding on what he should do. If Ness does want to ask Zelda to the dance then they have a small problem, but he couldn't imagine Zelda agreeing to go with him. He'll have to question Ness himself and get everything straight.
" What are you going to do?" Young Link asked, seeing the troubled look on Link's face.
" I'm going to confront Ness and see if it's true."
A/N:
Sorry the last part with Link was shorter than the others. I was kind of rushing it since I wanted to finish it before I had to leave. What will happen with Ness? Who knows? You're going to have to wait for the next chapter. I will say (because I'm a nice person), a lot happens in the next chapter, so it will take me a while before updating. I want it to turn out well.
Until Next Time!
