Lily:Be warned, you might start to see some parings in this chapter. It's a bit of a late V-day special.
Young Link:LATE! It's the middle of March!
Lily:Ok, maybe a really late V-day special. Enjoy!
Ch6: Secret Admirer
LAURA'S POV
It was that time of year. You first notice it by the mushy specials on TV. Then by how much the price of a box of chocolates and a bouquet of roses has gone up. Yes I'm talking about the worst, most horrid, most stupidest holiday of them all, Valentines Day. To me it was just another day of the week, no different, nothing special. The only good part about it was that my Grandma sends me over a case full of chocolates and candies. I mean, what's the flippin' point? School was canceled because of today not that it mattered; I was still suspended, so I spent most of the day clicking through channels trying to find something non-sappy. "Why is there so much romance on TV?" Luigi asked.
"It's Valentines Day, some stupid day when people tell others how much they love them by buying flowers and chocolates and sending them cards. Pretty pointless if you ask me." If the stuff on TV wasn't bad enough, some parings were starting to me seen. My guesses on couples would be…Mario and Peach, Zelda and Link, Ness and Nana and Pikachu and Jigglypuff. "This whole day makes me sick."
"Why?"
"None of you business!"
"What is it with you and yelling?"
"L-o-l, very funny…NOT." With that, I walked up the stairs to the kitchen. By the way, Falco and Fox cleaned up the joint so we're back at my place. I grabbed a Mars bar out of the cupboard and walked to my room reading the new issue Nintendo Power.
YOUNG LINK'S POV
"What's wrong with her?" I asked Luigi.
"Something about being sick off flowers and chocolates."
"What?" He never got the facts straight.
"It's Valentines Day." Ness responded "Maybe she's sore cause she got no one to take her to that dance I head about."
"Who would?" Fox laughed "She's a loaded pistol. Just look at her the wrong way and she explodes."
"Not to mention her swearing problem." Falco giggled.
"And she isn't exactly the slimmest girl around." Mario chuckled.
"You can't say much." I snickered. Beside all the stuff I mentioned, she isn't all that bad. In fact, I might kind off, sort of, possibly, maybe…like her, just a bit. Maybe I should invite her to that dance.
MEWTWO'S POV
I hated hearing them mock her, but I couldn't say a word. I'm the dark, loner who feels no compassion for humans. Plus…WHAT AM I THINKING? I must need sleep. That girl's got me driven bonkers. It must be this holiday, Valentines Day I think it's called. Its soul purpose was to make males go insane trying to empress females with pointless and expensive gifts. Why can't that God BEEP portal open and let us go home. "And I swear she's trying to set that crazy girl whose house we blew up with me." Link commented.
So that's where she's getting all this money for movies. I floated upstairs. "She seems miserable," I thought "maybe I could help."
LAURA'S POV
"That looks fun, beatin' the BEEP out of a tin can to wake someone up, I got to try that." I was just breezing through a section on Wario Ware Touched and listening to I Just Wanna Live by Good Charlotte. I hated this day. Not just because of the junk on TV, but because I'm single and hated it. Why can't I experience romance like in the stories I write on FanFiction? Not a card, not a flower, not a thing. I was sick of it, year after year. I watch my friends cart home bags of Valentines and leave me with nothing. It sucked. Just for one BEEPING year, can't I at least get a card. As I took a bite of my Mars bar, I noticed something by my bed that wasn't there before. A heart shaped box of the most delicious looking chocolates, a card, and the largest bouquet of roses in the history of ever. I curiously picked up the card. It read…
"Dear Laura,
I hope you enjoy my gifts. They are like you, beautiful and sweet. Don't be upset, you should be joyous on this occasion. I can't tell you who I am, yet, but I will say this, I'm someone very close to you. You have known me for a long time, but we are just meeting for the first time. You are a true angel; all you need is a pair of wings. I pray I will see you this evening. Yours truly,
Your secret admirer"
I nearly died. It was short, but poetic. This was almost too good to be true. But it was true, I had a secret admirer. "YAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!" I started dancing around the messy room and out the door singing. "I have a secret admirer, I have a secret admirer. YAY!"
"What's gong on?" Mewtwo asked.
"I have a secret admirer!"
"What?" I never responded, I was just too happy to care.
MEWTWO'S POV
I think she's finally flipped. The holiday must have gotten to her to. Tonight, we would be dragged to some ridiculous dance at her school. If we didn't, she'd kick us out. That's one thing we can't afford. "Why are you blushing?" Peach smirked.
"Pardon?"
"You're blushing."
"It…must be the heat…Ya that's it…nowifyouexcusemeIhavetogoputaturkeyinthelawnmowerBYE." With that I speed off, making a total idiot of myself.
LAURA'S POV
That was weird. "Peach?"
"Yes."
"Did Mewtwo just say he needs to put a turkey in the lawnmower?"
"I think so." Its official, everyone in this house is psycho. But I wonder which one's my secret admirer?
LAURA'S ROOM
"Now let's see…" In front of me was a sheet of paper with all the smashers names on it. "Can't be him, definitely not him, would be scary if it was him…" Just then the door opened. "Oh hi Zelda."
"Whatcha doing?"
"Something."
"Let me see." She snatched the paper right out of my hand.
"Hey!"
"This is interesting. So far you have…Ness, Falcon, Fox, Mario, Link, Mewtwo, Luigi, Falco, Popo, Roy and Marth crossed off. This is because…" She glanced at the roses and chocolates on my bed. "Let me guess, you're trying to find out who your secret admirer is, right?"
"Ya."
"Well, according to this, your secret admirer is…Young Link."
"I think I figured that out."
"Oh, before I leave, rumor has it that he's going to ask you to the dance. See ya." She left the room, closing the door behind her. I know this much, Grenfell's gonna hear about this on Monday.
LATER THAT AFTERNOON
YOUNG LINK'S POV
Come on, you can do this. All you have to do is walk up to her and say…"Hi."
"Hi."
"Um…mind if I ask you something?"
"No problem, what?"
"Well…you know about the dance tonight?"
"Ya."
"Well I was wondering if you'd…liketocomewithme."
"Are you asking me out?"
"…yes."
"Sure, sounds great."
"Did you just say yes?"
"Yep."
"WAHO…I mean…see you tonight."
GRENFELL GYMNASIUM
8:00 THAT NIGHT
LAURA'S POV
This party was kick BEEP. Everyone was here. Everything was going smoothly, except when a bunch of fangirls were trying to get Roy's autograph, then it went crazy.
FLASHBACK
We just walked into the gym. The smashers were wearing 'normal' clothes, to try and blend in. It didn't work. "Look over there! It's Roy from Fire Emblem!" Suddenly a wave of girls swept over Roy with pencil and paper in their hands. A moment later a ripping sound was heard. "I have his shirt!" Another ripping sound was heard. "I have it pants!" It continued until Roy was left in his underwear.
END FLASHBACK
Roy had to walk home in his underwear after that. Most of the smashers were hanging out buy the punch bowl chatting about stuff that only they could possibly be interested in. Maybe six were on the dance floor. The music suddenly stopped. "Ok dudes and ladies," The DJ announced "couples only dance. If you aren't with someone then get of the floor."
"Come on Laura, let's dance."
"Ok hold your horses." We raced onto the dance floor. The music started up slowly.
Get a load of me, get a load of you
Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
He put his hand around my waist as we swayed to the music. It was beautiful. The way he moved, the look in his eyes, everything.
Holding hands with you when we're out at night
Got a girlfriend, you say it isn't right
And I've got someone waiting too
What if this is just the beginning
We're already wet, and we're gonna go swimming
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Somehow we wowed up in the center of the dance floor with the spotlight on us. Everyone backed away and watched us dance.
Isn't this the best part of breakin' up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
It's an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful
Here we go, we're at the beginning
We haven'tBEEPEDyet, but my heads spinning
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
High enough for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
High enough for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
out of this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
This was amazing. "You know, this doesn't mean we're official." He just laughed quietly to himself as we continued to dance.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
I was actually starting to regret what happened a few weeks ago. But now, I'm glad I made that star wish.
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
The music slowly faded, as did the spotlight. The whole crowd clapped and cheered. "In the immortal words of that cute kid…'that was totally wicked'."
YOUNG LINK'S POV
The night was beautiful. The stars were out, silence was around us, and we were all alone. We had decided to walk home instead of being teleported with the rest of the guys. It was what you would call a 'romantic' scene. Two young kids, walking back from a dance by moonlight, holding hands, stuff like that. The one thing that confused me was that Laura kept thanking me for the roses and chocolates, and saying how poetic the card was. Here's the kicker, I never wrote the card.
Lily:Lol, that was that cute kid from "The Incredibles". I was cracking up as I typed that part about Roy. I hope all the chapters for this story are this funny. Possible paring, or a love triangle even is showing, good luck finding who's the other corner. Stay tuned for the next chapter "Band Classes Are Bad Enough" staring Jigglypuff and the chapter after that "Party On!" staring me. BYE!
