Jlink: Yes, it's another love triangle. At the beginning of this story, I didn't know who she was going to end with, so I just let my writing take me to the end. And in the end she ended up with…

Ashley-the-b-daplayer: Here's the last chapter for you!

Midnight: I can see you really want a Zelda/Link pairing in the end.

RoyalFanatic: I guess in this story, she really is indecisive. I understand now what you mean with Roy, and adding the Ness part was funny.

Mullenium Master: I don't really know myself, it just felt different from how I usually write. You actually thought it was sad? Wow. I also bet, a lot of people were there to comfort lonely Link. I was feeling sorry for him.

Nica510: I'm glad you liked the chapter, thanks!

Also, thanks CheddarCheese99043 for your two reivews. I had just gotten them right as I was summiting this.

Chapter 12

(The Next Day)

" Are you sure about this?" Zelda asked, the Mushroom Princess.

Peach nodded as she continued to pack her belongings. Both girls were in their dorms, Zelda sat on her bed watching Peach, who was packing up and getting ready to leave. Since the dance is over, Peach had come to a decision to head home during the break. Master Hand gave the smashers a small vacation for a week. Peach, along with the Ice Climbers, Ness and Mr. Game and Watch, were all leaving to head home for vacation today.

" I'm really going to miss you. We've both had an interesting week." Zelda explained, standing to her feet, and walking over to Peach's bed.

" I know." Peach replied disappointed. " I've had fun, but I really am missing Mario. I want to go see him to tell him everything."

" Even about you dancing with Roy and kissing Marth?" Zelda questioned.

Peach smiled, " No, I'll leave that out."

Zelda laughed and gave Peach a hug. It was hard for Zelda to say good-bye, especially to her only best friend. Peach had stuck with her the entire time, and even though they had their downs—they quickly became friends again. Zelda knew she wouldn't have been able to make it through the week without Peach's help and support.

" Well I hope you have fun at home." Zelda explained, once they parted.

" Hey, I'll be back in a week." Peach encouraged. " Just try not to get in anymore situations like the previous one."

Zelda laughed. " I won't ever do that again."

" So are you happy about the decision you made?"

Zelda nodded. " Yes, I am."

" And how is he taking it?"

" We talked and everything is perfectly fine. He's not upset by it at all."

" I'm glad. I guess things did turn out right."

" After some hard thinking, and talking, everything is finally over."

" A four day battle can really tire someone out."

Zelda nodded and walked with Peach outside of the dorms, where the vans waited to take those going home. Peach tossed her suitcase in the back and gave Zelda one finally hug.

" Did you say by to everyone?" Zelda questioned.

Peach nodded. " Yea. The only people I couldn't find were Young Link and Falco."

" I'll tell them you said bye, then."

Peach smiled. " Thanks. Oh, did you find you-know-who yet?"

Zelda shook her head. " I wanted to say bye to you first."

" Well you said bye long enough, girl." Peach explained, causing Zelda to laugh.

" I know but—"

"—But nothing! Go and find your man."

Marth leaned back in his chair and gazed out the window, in the lounge. He sat his drink down on the table in front of him. He watched carefully as Zelda walked by herself, heading over toward the lounge. Marth warmly smiled looking back into the lounge watching Roy and Falco finish their game of pool.

His mind went back to the conversation with Zelda, last night at the dance. They didn't really get to have a good time, like he had planned, but everything they talked about was worth it. In the end, they both were happy. He was glad to see a true smile from her, a smile he loved seeing.

" Eight ball corner pocket!" Roy smirked, as he leaned over the table, eying the black eight ball.

Marth took another sip of his drink, watching as Roy made the winning shot. Falco frowned, and shook his head walking over to Marth, handing him the cue. Marth gradually accepted it.

" Alright Marth, you're turn."

" You will never win!" Roy cried, doing a little victory dance. " I will dominate."

Falco noticed the blank look upon Marth's face. He took a seat next to the blue-haired prince, and grabbed his drink taking a quick sip before he began to play with the ice using the straw. " You okay?"

Marth nodded shifting his eyes toward Falco. " Yeah."

" You did the right thing Marth," Roy explained, getting another game ready.

" I know." Marth replied.

" Then why do you seem upset?" Falco questioned. " Isn't this what you two agreed on?"

Marth nodded. " It will take me a while, but I'll get over it."

" So I take it he won, right?" Roy asked, looking up at his friend.

" There was no competition," Marth answered steadily. " Since, he had won before this had started."

Roy raised an eyebrow. " How do you know?"

Marth smirked, standing up from his chair. " I got instincts. It was obvious, Zelda and I are nothing more than friends."

" Well, then lets begin! I'm ready to continue my winning streak." Roy exclaimed.

Marth walked over to Roy, getting ready for the game. He knew that eventually all of this would be nothing, but a memory. Pretty soon, he'd forget about what happened and move on. There was nothing left for him to do. He and Zelda came to an agreement, and he agreed to it.

He was surprised to say, unlike others, he was perfectly fine with all of it. In the end, everything ended up being a fair game.

Zelda steadily made her way through the dorms. Her heart raced with anxiety as she came closer to the door. Everything was all right—that's what she kept telling herself. There was nothing to be nervous about. She was just overreacting.

After taking a deep breath, Zelda knocked on the door. She listened carefully, hearing someone mumbling to themselves, before actually opening the door. Zelda smiled, when Link appeared on the other side. He greeted her, then stepped to the side, letting her into the room.

Zelda frowned, when her eyes fell upon the suitcases on Link's bed. His clothes and weapons were packed inside. She was afraid to think that he was leaving as well, heading back home on vacation, without telling her. He wouldn't have just left, without saying good-bye?

" Link, what are you doing?" Zelda questioned, even thought she was positive she knew the answer.

Link began to fold the remainder of his clothes and put them inside the suitcase. " I'm packing. Heading back to Hyrule for a week."

" Were you going to tell me?"

Link looked up at Zelda and nodded. " Yea."

" You're just leaving?"

Link shrugged. " I believe so. Ganondorf was staying and I believe Young Link didn't want to head home yet."

" Link, I—" Zelda took a deep breath. " I have to tell you something."

Link dropped his clothes to the bed, and turned to face her. " What is it?"

Zelda bit her lip and smiled surprising Link by embracing him with a hug. " I love you…" She whispered, closing her eyes tightly.

Link's eyes widened as he looked down at the princess in his arms. Did she just say…she loved me?

" Zelda…" Link called softly He pulled her away, keeping his hands on her shoulders. " What's going on?"

Zelda sighed, feeling the rapid beat of her heart. " Marth and I talked last night. I told him how I felt about everything and he said that after what you did at the lounge that we truly were meant for each other. He said you had courage to do what you did."

" So, you and him…"

" Are nothing but friends." Zelda finished.

" So it's all over?"

Zelda nodded, pushing herself out of Link's grasp. She wrapped her arms around his neck, tightly embracing him once more. This time, Link returned the hug with a loving smile on his face. For the first time, the two were finally together—knowing that this was what they wanted.

Zelda had thought back on the week— about the four days that had an impact on her. She just laughed. All of this could have been avoided, but yet she had to take her time. She had to think about, what she truly wanted. And it took her four days, to come to a conclusion that what she wanted—she had all along.

" I—love you too." Link whispered softly.

" Let's head home…" Zelda explained, with a smile. "…Together."
