Chapter 2

Not Who We Thought She Was

Zelda's eyes wouldn't budge from Link and Veronica. Samus was as shocked as Zelda was.

"Looks like you have some competition, Zelda."

"No, she's just being nice. She doesn't like him like that."

Samus looked at her questionably. "You sure about that?"

Zelda nodded while still looking. "I'm pretty sure… sort of."

"Hmm. Only one way to find out." Samus started walking towards them. "Come on, let's go question her."

"But…" She sighed when she realized she couldn't hear her. "Fine I'm coming."

Meanwhile, Link and Veronica were still walking to the teleporting room. "Veronica, it's just a small cut. You don't have to make it a big deal."

Veronica looked at him with a worried look. "Link it's still bleeding, it needs to be treated."

"Hey, Veronica."

Link turned to see Samus running towards them. He also saw Zelda not too far behind. "Sam, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, me?" She forgot she would have to explain why she and Zelda were here. "We were showing Veronica some of the arenas and-"

"Link, what happened to your forehead?" Zelda had caught up and had noticed the cut mark.

Link's hand shot up to the cut mark. "Nothing." Zelda gently grabbed the hand Link had on his forehead and examined the wound.

"Young Link hit him with an arrow." Veronica said trying to tug Link along. "I'll just take him to the hospital wing and-"

"Please. You don't have to waste your time with this idiot who went and cut himself. It's such a waste of your precious time staying to help him."

Link spoke up. "It's not like I went and stabbed myself!"

Samus interrupted him. "Zelda, why don't you take him there?"

Zelda eyes widened. "Me?"

Samus nodded and told Zelda with her eyes, 'This is your chance'. "I'll show Veronica more of this place. Okay, Veronica?"

"Um …sure." She let go of Link regretfully. "Let's continue."

Link groaned. "Whatever… can we just go do this so I can get on with my life?"

"Okay. Bye, you guys!" Zelda called as she and Link began to leave.

On their way back Zelda was panicking. She spoke up to him. "So did you get in a good work-out?"

"I guess." He muttered. He looked at Zelda while they were walking. "Hey, I was wondering if when we have our team battles next week, would you like to be my partner?"

"Partner…me?" Zelda was astonished. Link is asking me to be his partner. He never asks this question.

Zelda was so dazed by the question Link had to stop to see if he was still with her. He waved a hand in front of her. "Uh…Zel?"

"Yeah?" she snapped out of it.

"What's your answer?"

"Yes… I will." she said smiling. She thought of something as soon as they were at the teleporting room. "Link we don't have to go to the hospital wing. I can heal you with that method I use."

"As long you don't faint this time, go for it." He closed his eyes.

Zelda put her hand to where his cut was and chanted her healing spell. In a matter of seconds, the wound was fully healed.

Link opened his eyes and felt where his wound was. When he noticed it was gone, he sighed in relief. "Thanks."

"You're welcome," she said.

"Well you better get back to your friends." He said going into one of the transporters. "Maybe early tomorrow we can train together? Of course only if you want to."

"That would be great."

"Alright then. See you tonight."

"Yeah, see ya."

He waved and soon with a push of a button, he was gone.

Later that Night

"He asked you to be his partner? Usually Roy or Marth is his partner." Samus' face was beaming.

Zelda blushed. "Yeah, I know. I'm so excited!" she said squealing.

Zelda and Samus were standing at Zelda's closet. "So I'm trying to decide which color dress to wear." Zelda pulled out the first dress. "How about the blue one?"

Samus shook her head. "Nah, he sees you too much in that one."

She pulled out a red one. "This one?"

"Sure, that one would be good for something special, but not for the match." Samus pulled out a green one. "Wear this one. It's of course Link's favorite color."

"Hmm." Zelda pulled it out and hugged it close to her chest. "I can imagine him liking that."

"Alright let's go eat."

The girls headed downstairs to the big table. At dinner the smashers usually ate together. Everyone was already there. Samus and Zelda took their seats at the end. Not a good decision because across from Samus was Captain Falcon. But there was nowhere else to go.

Captain Falcon had his helmet removed and was combing his dark brown hair. His eyes darted over to Samus as she sat down across from him.

"Hey Sam. You're looking beautiful tonight."

Samus scowled at him and Zelda giggled lightly.

"Okay everyone." All the smashers looked up as Master Hand spoke. "I'm sure all of you have met Veronica now… especially all the boys."

All the male smashers were staring at Veronica and she didn't even care a bit. "Hello again," she said.

"Anyway, the news for today is in a few days we will be going to the annual Nintendo Game Festival?"

All the verteran smashers groaned.

Samus stared at him in shock. "You can't possibly make us go again!"

Master Hand sighs, "Now I know you guys who were here last year are upset. But-"

Luigi interrupted him. "There is nothing you can say that will make us like this idea!"

Mario and Yoshi next to him nodded in agreement. "That's right!"

Captain Falcon spoke up next. "People called us their servants.

Kirby pouted. "We didn't even get to have any fun."

Fox groaned. "You never told us we had to work last year. And we had to set it all up for the people who were going to be honored."

MH tried to speak. "But you were honored."

"Please. The only thing we got honored with was a mop." Link crossed his arms and glared at Master Hand.

Pikachu stood on the table. "Let us not forget what they did to me."

MH tried to speak again. "Pikachu, we talked about this."

"Well we're going to continue talking about it. They made me stay in the petting zoo all day! It was so not cool." Pikachu growled in anger. "People petting me at a zoo…. Ooh it makes me just want to-"

MH sighed. "Pikachu are you done now?"

Pikachu sat down. "I guess."

Master Hand took control of the room. "Anyway, everybody, this year we will be the honored ones."

Everyone listened to him now that they knew they wouldn't have to work.

Captain Falcon whispered to Samus. "Hey Sam, I need to tell you something."

Samus leaned in to listen regretting it all the way. "What?"

"But we remember everyone be on your best behavior. That means your crew too, Ganondorf."

Ganondorf tried to act innocent. "What makes you think we're the bad guys?"

"Oh maybe all those "WANTED" ads with your ugly face on them." Link said while picking at his food. Roy who was next to him snickered.

Ganondorf growled at Link. "I swear one more word, boy and you and me are going at it."

Link wasn't even fazed at what he said. "Whatever, just don't get caught."

All the smashers laughed.

Ganondorf stood up his fist glowing purple. "That's it! You and me right now!"

Link unsheathed his sword. "Bring it!"

Everyone started to cheer them into fighting.

"NO FIGHTING!" But MH had control of the room again. "We won't have to work. Next week, on Sunday we leave and please-

"Captain Falcon you sick jerk!"

A loud smack was heard. Everyone turned to the end of the table. Samus was turned away from the table and Captain Falcon had a red mark on his face.

"Hmmph! He asked for it!" Samus snapped.

Back in the room late

Zelda's Dream

"And the champions of the tournament are Zelda and Link."

Everyone cheered.

Zelda and Link smiled proudly. While holding the trophy.

"I couldn't have done it without you, Zelda."

Zelda blushed. "Thanks."

The scene changed quickly to out on a beach shore with the sun setting. Link and Zelda were sitting on the shore watching the waves.

Link put an arm around Zelda and pulled her in close. "I'm really glad I have you around to be with me."

Zelda was taken back by the words and blushed. "Really?"

Link didn't answer. He stood up and pulled up Zelda with him. "I was always shy to tell you this, Zel… I love you."

Zelda's eyes widened. "You do?"

He nodded smiling at her. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Zelda felt tears coming to her eyes. "I love you too and I would love to be your girlfriend."

He gently held Zelda's face and wiped her tears. "I'll always love you, Zelda."

Zelda knew what was coming, as Link leaned in. She stood on her toes to kiss him but her kiss was interrupted by a voice.

End of Dream

"Zelda, wake up!"

Zelda woke up to see Samus staring at her while shaking her. "...what?"

"It's 7:00! You were supposed to meet Link two hours ago."

Zelda shot up in bed. She looked at her clock. Indeed it was 7AM. "Oh Nayru! I'm late!" She darted out of bed to get ready. In minutes, Zelda was out of the bathroom and was ready. She ran out the door and down the stairs.

When she was on the last steps, she saw Veronica at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey Zelda!"

"Veronica, have you seen Link?"

Veronica smiled. "Oh he went into town with Roy and Young Link around 6."

"In town?" Zelda asked.

"He was waiting on you, but I sent him on an errand."

"What kind of errand?" Zelda asked sadly.

Veronica's smile turned into a glare. "An errand to get away from you,"

Zelda stepped back. "What? You sent him away. But why?"

Veronica sighed and walked up to Zelda. "Let me tell you something, Princess. You're getting a little to close to Link. I don't like it when girls get too close to my guys."

"What?" Zelda was hardly taking in the words she was saying to her. She couldn't believe what Veronica was saying.

Veronica grabbed the collar of Zelda's dress. Her purple eyes were burning into Zelda's blue eyes making Zelda scared. "Listen closely. You better leave Link alone. He's mine."

"What, he's yours-"

Veronica cut her off. "I get what I want and right now, I want Link. You may have known him for a long time but he is better off with me! You think your beautiful looks will get him, but they won't." Veronica heard people coming and sighed angrily. "So let me make this understandable!"

She continued to stare angrily. "Lay…off…my …guy!"

And with that she pushed Zelda back almost making her lose her balance.

Peach walked in. "Oh there you are, Veronica. Let's go cook breakfast."

Veronica's anger turned to happiness in a second. "Okay, Peach!"

Peach smiled and then looked at Zelda. "Oh Zellie, do you want to help?"

Veronica turned back to Zelda with a bright smile. "Yeah, do you?"

Zelda was still shocked at what had happened, but shook her head no.

"Okay then. We'll talk later!" Peach said as her and Veronica headed to the as Veronica reached the door she turned back to Zelda with an evil look on her face that gave Zelda shivers of fear. Veronica went into the kitchen. Zelda sighed when she was gone. She knew Veronica meant business.
