XXXV. The end of the line… and the start of another.

"Found anything yet Link?" Roy asked, who was gingerly touching he broken nose.

"Nope…" Link was flipping through Zelda's spell book.

"Are you sure you know how to read Ancient Hylian?" Marth asked sceptically. He was holding an ice pack to a bump on his head.

"Of course!"

All the smashers were sitting in Samus' room, were Zelda still lay petrified. Samus and Peach were sitting at her side.

"She looks so… so horrified." Peach said.

"No kidding." Samus said. "Link, anything?"

"Workin' on it." All the smashers gave a bored sigh.

"Where's Young Link?" Roy asked. "We sent him for the snacks five minutes ago.

"If you're so hungry, get them yourself!" Peach said, but Young Link had just entered.

"Hey, sorry everyone." Link dropped a tray piled with a mountain of food onto one of the beds. All the smashers got up and grabbed some food. "Any luck?" he asked, munching on a hot dog.

"Hm… Paralysis… AHA! Petrification!" Link said triumphantly. He bent over the book, reading closely.

"Well? WELL?" Kirby cried.

"Shut up!" Ness said, "You're breaking his focus!"

"Don't tell me to shut up big head!"

"Fatty!"

"Party-pooper!"

"Big-mouth!"

"SHUT UP!" Roy screamed through his French fries.

"Well Link?" Peach asked.

"…That's it?" Link asked himself as he finished reading.

"What?"

"Petrifaction can be cured only by true love's kiss…"

"Hey! That's like Snow White!" Peach said.

"Well go on then, kiss her Link!" Marth said.

"Alrighty then." Link walked over to the bed where Zelda lay. Samus and Peach hopped of as Link slowly bent over and kissed Zelda lightly on the lips. To his surprise, she grabbed his neck and pulled him closer. Eyes still closed, she fiercely and passionately kissed Link. A loud "EEEEWW!" could be heard from Kirby. Zelda's tongue delved into Link's mouth and explored every corner. Her breathing was rapid and unsteady as she flat out made out with Link. She pulled him onto the bed and got on top of him, still keeping her mouth sealed over his. A muffled "help!" could be heard from Link as Zelda ravaged his body.

"Oh my…" Peach said.

Finally, Zelda broke the kiss. She gasped for air, then opened her eyes.

"…Zelda?"

"Oh Link!" Zelda cried happily. "You brought me back!" She hugged Link tightly.

"…Zelda, what was all that about?"

"All what about?"

"The whole, you getting all wacky and frisky on me thing."

"What?"

"Oh... nevermind."

"So, what happened with Ganondorf?"

"HE CHICKENED OUT!" Young Link cried.

"I did not!" Link said indignantly. "I felt sorry for him!"

"Oh, that so sweet Link." Zelda said.

"Look at that everyone!" Samus said, "A heart of gold!" And the smashers gave Link a small cheer.

"So…" Roy said. "What happens now?"

"What do you mean? Zelda asked.

"I mean like, the tournament's over now right? So… what are we gonna do?"

"I guess we go home…" Zelda said. A lot of disappointed sighs and groans came from the smashers.

"But we've had so much fun together!" Peach said. "Can't we just stay here?"

"Peach, we can't do that. We have homes! Families! Some of us have kingdoms to rule, like you!"

"I know I know… but still."

"Who says we hafta go right now?" Captain Falcon said, "Why not stay just a few more days. Can't hurt can it?" And for once, people agreed with him.

"Well, a few more days sounds like a good idea." Said Zelda.

"Yay!" The smashers cheered.

---

Link was lying on his bed, a breeze lightly blowing through the balcony doors. Beside him lay Zelda.

"Tired Link?" She asked.

"Oh yeah…" He gave a little yawn. "I'm so glad you're back." He kissed Zelda on the cheek. "I was worried I'd lost you forever."

"It's good to be back." There was a peaceful silence for a moment before Zelda asked. "What did happen when you brought me back?"

"Oh, how about I demonstrate…"
