A/N: Well it's been a while friends. I really had to think about how to do this chapter. But I got it together. Anyway since this one is done I can really get started. Enjoy!

Chapter 6

Airplane Entertainment

"Wow, this airplane is huge!" Samus said looking through the bus window. "Are you seeing this, Zel?"

Zelda didn't answer. She had never seen an airplane before. Seeing one was a bigger site than worrying what size it was.

Samus got up and grabbed Zelda's hand. "Come on let's go get a closer look."

"Sure." She looked down at Nana and Pichu still sleep on her lap. She shook them. "Come on guys, get up."

They stirred a little and then stopped moving. Zelda frowned. "Nana and Pichu, we have to go!"

Nana got up and yawned. "Still tired." Pichu didn't even move. She just continued to sleep.

"Let me help you with that." Samus picked up Pichu and Zelda grabbed Nana's hand and they got off the bus.

"This is going to be an interesting trip." Samus said looking around when they got outside.

"Yeah, but it probably won't be fun." Zelda said while they walked to the plane.

Samus looked at her friend. "Oh…right because of that one girl."

The girls sighed. "Her name starts a V and ends with an A real pain in the butt!" they said in unison. They laughed when they said it at the same time. Nana was fully awake and she went off to go find her brother.

"Yeah, Sam. It's not going to be easy to relax with her plotting against me."

"You mean against us! I'm going to get her back for what she did," Samus said, narrowing her eyes.

Zelda stopped walking. "Oh, that's right. I never got to apologize, Sam."

"What for, Z?"

"Oh please, Samus. You know it's my fault she's pestering you. All because she's nothing but a selfish and awful girl." Zelda and Samus had reached the plane.

"Don't worry about it."

There was a man out front waiting for them to present their tickets. They gave them to him and then they walked up the stairs into the plane. When they reached the inside they awed. The plane was beautiful. It was like a house. There were some seats like usual planes. But you were able to walk around in this one. It had a small diner in one area and a place to sleep on another end. Plus, there was a small arcade for the kids. Yep, just like a house.

"Wow!" Samus almost dropped Pichu she was so amazed. "Even in transportation, we live in a mansion."

"I can't believe it's so luxurious." Zelda said looking around.

An attendant came up to the two. "Excuse me, we're about to take off. And we need you to please take your seats and buckle up."

Samus nodded. "Okay. Let's go sit over there."

They sat over where Marth was sitting. He was talking to Fox and Roy in a seat behind his. Marth already had his book out ready to read it. Samus sat next to him and Zelda sat across from her in the other seat, far away from the window. Pichu finally woke up and looked at her surroundings.

Zelda grabbed Pichu from Samus and let Pichu buckle up with her.

Marth turned his attention towards Samus. "So, this thing is going to fly?"

Samus nodded. "Yep. Fly high in the sky."

Zelda grabbed the armrests of her seat. "Fly?"

Samus looked at Zelda. "Yeah, high above in the clouds. It'll be cool because you'll get to see the top of the clouds and stuff."

"Oh…okay." Zelda slumped in her seat. "That's great."

Marth didn't like Zelda's tone. "Are you okay, Zelda?"

"Not exactly. You see, I'm afraid of heights," Zelda said while blushing.

"You are?" Samus asked.

Zelda nodded. "Yeah. And to think that this thing is going to fly high in the sky with all us smashers on it, makes me even more scared."

"But every time we have out matches and we get knocked out of the ring, we get knocked up high off the ground all the time," Roy said.

"But you still hear me scream, don't you?" Zelda said eyeing Roy.

Roy was about to comment till Link showed up.

He sat down next to Zelda. "Hey, I know this is your first flight. So, I'm going to sit here next to you okay?"

"What about Veronica? We don't want to leave her alone now do we?" Zelda asked.

Link sat down next to Zelda. "She 's none of my concern. She's flown on planes. You, on the other hand have not, and with my past experience on Samus' piloting of her ship I'm coming to sit you through it.

Marth nodded. "Yeah, from riding with Sam here I would buckle up. OWW!"

Samus hit Marth in the back of his head. "Hmph."

Link laughed at him. "Ha! Ow! What are you hitting me for?"

Samus had chucked Marth's book at Link's head. She glared at both of them. "For your guys' information, a ship flies much smoother than a plane does. Oops, sorry, Zelda," Samus says, remembering Zelda's fears.

A voice came on the intercom. We're taking off. The plane started to move and everyone buckled up. For a while the plane was turning on the runway. Zelda felt her nerves going through her stomach. The plane started to take on speed. As soon as it took off, Zelda felt like screaming. But Link grabbed her hand gently. "It's going to be okay, Zelda."

Zelda nodded as she looked at him. Link was being so nice to her. He left Veronica just to stay here with her because he knew she was scared of heights. Zelda never told anyone about her fear of heights. But somehow he just knew. Zelda sat through a few more pulls to the sky. But then it finally stopped. She opened her eyes and sighed. The plane ride was smooth sailing now. The attendant came back and told them they could get up and move around. While, Zelda unbuckled her seat, Samus nudged her. Zelda looked at her and Samus was pointing at Link. Zelda looked to see Link had still been holding her hand even after they were in the air.

Zelda smiled. "Link, you can let go now."

Link had forgot about the holding hand thing. "Oh, sorry."

"It's okay," Zelda said. She straightened her dress. "How long is this plane flight anyway?"

"5 hours tops." Marth said without looking up from his book.

"Oh, so that's why you brought that dictionary with you," Link said sarcastically. Roy laughed with Link. Marth just glared at the two from his book and then went back to reading. Roy and Link frowned. An idea popped in Roy's head and he got out of his seat and whispered it to Link. Link nodded and then Zelda watched as Link mouthed something to Samus. Samus' face scrunched up at first and then when Link finished communicating, she smiled and nodded.

Samus leaned over next to Marth and lightly tapped Marth's book. Marth looked up at her. "Yes?"

"I'm really thirsty. Can you go get me something to drink please?" she asked.

Marth being the gentlemen he is, got up to go get her something. "Anything in mind?"

"Water's fine," she replied.

As soon as Marth left, Roy smirked. "I knew he would leave it." He picked Marth's book up and placed it in a bag he brought in the plane. He got up and started to walk away. "I'll be back."

"I'm going with him," Link said and followed Roy.

Pichu moved from next to Zelda to up in her lap. She stood on her toes to look outside since she couldn't see. Zelda held her arm out and Pichu stood on her arm as a stool in order to look outside. Zelda looked over at Samus fiddling with her gold bracelet Marth gave her. Samus hardly ever took it off. It was something she cherished as much as she cherished the necklace around her neck that her parents gave her. Zelda felt around her neck for the silver necklace that had a pink gem in the middle surrounded by silver. Her mom gave it to her before she died. That was her most cherished possession.

Samus was looking at Zelda. "You never showed me that necklace, Zel? Is it from your mother?"

Zelda nodded. "It was the last gift from my mother before she died. It's not as great as yours, but I do really do cherish it greatly."

Samus sighed. "Are you kidding? Yours is way better and at least it doesn't require opening." Samus started picking at it. "I just know it opens. But I just can't do it for some reason."

"Have you ever tried a locksmith?"

"The question is how many times have I tried to get them to do it. I've been to so many of them and none of them can open it." Samus blew her bangs back in frustration.

"Well, look who it is? I knew there was something foul in the air," a voice said.

The two looked from their seats and groaned. It was Veronica, and she didn't look too happy.

"What did you two do to Link?" Veronica asks in a demanding way.

"We didn't do anything to him. He just came back here to sit with me. Is there a problem with that?" Zelda asked narrowing her eyes.

"Yes it is. First of all he was sitting with me until he saw you come on the plane," Veronica said while pointing an accusing finger at Zelda.

Zelda rolled her eyes. "Goddesses, can you stop with the finger wagging? It's a shame your finger is attached to you."

Samus was laughing in her seat. She had never heard Zelda talk back to Veronica ever. This new side of her friend was pretty funny. Veronica who never heard her talk like that was pretty shocked too. "Listen, you two. Why don't you stop this? At the end of this trip, Link will be mine and you two won't have anything to say then."

Pichu got up on Zelda's shoulder and glared at Veronica. "Pichu, pichu, pi!"

Veronica eyed the little pokemon. "Sorry, I don't speak rat."

"Strange…you look like one."

Samus, Zelda, and Veronica looked in the aisle to see it was Marth. He had his arms crossed and had narrowed his eyes at Veronica.

Roy joined them from the other side. "A big ugly one to get more specific."

Veronica was outnumbered but she didn't care. "So, it's all five of you now! Well, you listen you little sorry excuses for-" She stopped when she saw Link coming. She put on her little fake smile. "Hey, Link!"

Link looked at Veronica and smiled lightly. "Hey." He eyed everyone else. "So, what's going on over here?"

Zelda sighed. He has no clue. "Nothing at all."

Veronica leaned over next to Pichu. "I'm just looking at this adorable little pokemon." She reached over and touched her pink cheek and Pichu retaliated by sending a jolt through her body. Veronica pulled her hand away quick. "Hey!"

Zelda, Roy, Marth, and Samus snickered. Veronica glared at them and Link chuckled as well. "You shouldn't really just approach their cheeks fast. Makes them nervous."

Zelda took Pichu from her shoulder. "Yes…nervous. It's also a defense mechanism if they don't like you."

Veronica felt like strangling Zelda and Pichu, but held her smile. "So, anyway, Link you want to head back to the front?"

Link paused for a moment and looked at his other friend's faces. "Nah, I think I'll stay back here. You can go up there with Peach, right? You guys hit it off pretty well"

Veronica's eyes widened for a second, but then they went back to normal. She still held her smile. "Um…sure. I'll go up there with Peach if you're sure."

Link scooted in front of Zelda to get in the seat next to the window and sat down. "Yes, I'm sure."

Veronica's smile was breaking so she decided to leave. "Um…well, I'll see you guys later."

"Bye!" all of them said quickly.

Veronica bit her lip angrily and stormed off.

Zelda sighed. I'm glad that's over.

"Here's your water, Sam and-" Marth gasped and looked at his seat. "Hey! Where's my…" Marth looked at Link and Roy who were already snickering. "What did you two do with my book?"

"Well, we hid it." Roy said. "And trust me you'll never find it."

Marth paused. "Hilarious. Now, where is it?"

"We'll give it to you in time," Link replied.

Zelda and Samus giggled and Marth looked at them. "Did you guys have anything to do with this?" The two simply shook their heads. Marth was at the end of his rope. "Come on, you two. Please give it back. I'm in the middle of a big chapter."

Roy shook his head. "No. This is supposed to be a fun festival which means…"

"...no books" Link said finishing Roy's sentence.

Marth knew there was no point in persuading Link and Roy. So, he tried to get Samus and Zelda to. "Come on, girls… please."

Zelda smiled innocently while shaking her head. "Sorry, but I agree with Roy and Link on this one."

Marth turned to last hope. Samus simply looked at him. "You know how I feel about you and books." Knowing that was a "no" Marth sighed sadly and leaned against Samus in defeat. Samus patted his head. "You'll live."

The whole group laughed except Marth of course. After a few hours, the sun had finally started to go down. It was a pretty sunset. Pichu went from Zelda's seat to Samus' to look out the window. Link, Samus, and Marth were looking outside too. Zelda chose not to since she was still unsure about the whole flying thing. Link stopped looking outside and looked at Zelda. She caught his eye and looked at him as he smiled and gently grabbed her arm. "Come on, Zel. You have got to look outside."

Zelda was unsure but Link pulled her over to the window anyway, making her body practically lean on his. She blushed slightly at this position, but stopped when she looked out the window. It was very beautiful. They were high up in the sky but it didn't seem to bother her when Link put an arm around her.

"Just so you feel secure about falling," Link said with a smile.

Zelda nodded and continued to look outside. The sun made the clouds have a pinkish-purple like color. There were some stars forming and the moon was already in the sky. And it was pretty interesting to see the top of the clouds. They looked surprisingly different from what the clouds would look like from the ground everyday. They were much bigger than Zelda imagined. Happiness seemed to rush over Zelda as the sun finally disappeared.

I probably never would have seen this if I didn't become a smasher. Zelda thought to herself as she sat back in her seat.

Link moved his arm and put it on the armrest. He began to fall asleep. Marth and Samus had fallen against each other, resting their eyes. Samus leaned her head on his shoulder and Marth's own head rested on top of her own with Pichu resting in Marth's lap. Zelda decided to stay awake this time.

She looked at her Hero of Time, looking out the window, but easing himself into sleep. She smiled. "Yes. Too nice for his own good," she said quietly.

Airport

"Congratulations, Zel! You took your first flight on an airplane. Now how do you feel?" Samus asked.

Zelda took a deep breath. "Well, I feel great and alive."

Samus grinned at her best friend as they began to walk to the next bus that would take them to the Nintendo Festival. "Excellent."

Zelda smiled. "One flight down, and one more to go." The two best friends laughed as they began to catch up with the other Smashers.

Samus got serious now. "So, you think Veronica was serious when she said that she would have Link by the end of this trip?"

Zelda nodded. "I definitely think so."

"So, what are you going to do?" Samus asked as they continued to walk.

"I don't know, Sam." Zelda said while brushing a few locks of her hair back. But I know that in the end, it won't be Veronica with Link. I just know.

A/N: Not one of my best chapters but I'm trying for you guys. We're going to get some serious rivalry soon. Review Please!
