XXXVI. THE FINAL DAYS: Part one
It was agreed by all the smashers that they would leave the following Monday, giving them four final days together.
---
Roy pulled a pillow over his head, to shield his eyes from the blinding sunlight pouring in. He rolled onto his stomach and buried his face into his mattress. He instantly regretted it when a pain shot through his face as he remembered he had a broken nose. Roy scarcely managed to get any more sleep, and he finally abandoned his futile attempts when a loud knocking came from his door.
"Who is it?" He asked in a moan.
"It's Marth."
"Urgh… come on in…" Roy heard a key slide into the lock. It clicked and the door swung open.
"You're still in bed?" Marth asked.
"Of course! It's so early!" He gave his bedside clock a sideways glance and read '12:36PM'. "What are you doing up?"
"Packing."
"Packing? We've got four days!"
"Yeah so?"
Roy gave a sigh and shook his head.
"Hey Roy… Have you noticed anything strange about Link?"
"Um… no… should I?"
"Well, I don't know, maybe it's just me but… he was acting a little strange at breakfast this morning."
"Where's he now?"
"I don't know. He said he was going on an errand."
"Hah! That's a laugh. I'll bet he's keeping a secret from us."
"You talk like he's supposed to tell us all his little secrets."
"Well why not? We're his best buddies!"
Marth sighed. "Even if he was keeping a secret, why would it matter?"
"I dunno, you brought it up."
"I was just wondering if you knew what was up with Link."
---
Peach and Zelda were sitting a table, chattering excitedly.
"Well, three days are up!" Peach said, rubbing her hands together.
"Now we find out if Marth and Samus still feel a little something towards each other!" Zelda squealed.
"AND, if our love-struck boyfriends have finally come to their senses!"
Peach and Zelda were giggling and gossiping madly as they ate their lunch of meat lover's pizza. Peach had given up on her diet.
"Where are the boys anyways?" Peach asked, munching on a pizza crust.
"I don't know. I saw Link and Marth at breakfast. Marth left to do some packing, and Link said he had an errand to do.
"Hah! That's a laugh! What do you think he's really doing?"
"I don't know, but I'm really curious."
Just then, Young Link had entered the room. Zelda waved him over.
"Hi Zelda! Hi Peach!" He said in a cheerful voice.
"Link, it's so good to see you back to your normal, happy self." Zelda said.
"Yeah, it was scary to see you so… scared." Peach said.
Young Link gave one of his signature ear-to-ear smiles. "Hey, do you know where Link is?"
"No, we were just asking ourselves that." Zelda said.
"Aw crud." Link's smile faded, "I wanted to see if maybe he wanted to play…"
Peach and Zelda both gave a big "Aaaw!"
"If I see him, you can count on me to tell him!" Peach said affirmatively.
Link's face lit up again. "Thanks Peach!" And Link hurried away to find someone else to play with.
Peach and Zelda smiled as they watched him. "Y'know Zellie, that kid's been through a lot."
"I know! He was the one who saved me and all of Hyrule from Ganondorf, and then he got dragged into the tournament, and then there was the whole fiasco with Ganondorf and the Smash Bros., AND he watched Link die AND he killed Ganondorf and the Master AND… wow, he has been through a lot, and at such a young age! A lot of us can't hold a candle to Young Link."
"He's amazing!"
---
There was a light knock at Samus' door. Samus, who was busy packing, set aside a shirt she was folding and strode over to the door. She leaned her ear against the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's Marth."
A smile made it's way onto Samus' face. She yanked the door open, and threw her arms around Marth's neck. "I've been thinking about you all morning." She murmured in his ear.
"And I you." He whispered back. He lightly kissed her on the forehead.
---
Zelda was sitting alone at a table outside. Roy had found Peach, and they had gone for a walk. It was another beautiful, brilliant day. She leaned her head on her hand, playing with a stray strand of hair as she watched two butterflies playfully flitting about the daisies. It was the middle of summer, but it felt more like spring. The flowers in the fields bowed slightly to the gentle breeze. The sun didn't scorch those unprotected, and gave more of an embracing warmth. Where was Link on such a day? She watched, almost with envy, as Nana and Popo walk by, hand in hand.
---
The day dragged on. Link continued to make himself scarce, only appearing at dinner late that evening. Zelda was overjoyed when she looked up from her roast beef and potatoes to see her blonde haired, blue eyed beloved walk into the dining hall. He scanned the many faces, and soon, his eyes met up with Zelda's she got up from the table and hurriedly walked up to Link, wrapping her arms around him.
"Link, where were you all day?"
"I had an important errand to see to."
Zelda lifted her head from his chest. "What was so important?'
"I can't tell you that." Link said with a playful smile, "It would spoil the surprise."
"Surprise?" Said Zelda, returning the smile, "What sort of surprise?"
Link's smile slowly faded, and he didn't say anything for a few moments. Then he said. "I'm hungry, let's eat." He pulled away from Zelda and sat down between Roy and Marth, grabbing a plate and piling food onto it.
---
Zelda felt confused, and almost hurt. Was Link avoiding her? And why had he turned away when she asked him what he was keeping from her. Slowly, a thought creeped into Zelda's mind. Could he? No! Of course not, Link would never… but then, she was only his girlfriend…
---
When it was time for bed that night, Link had told Zelda he loved her, before saying good night and turning over to sleep. Zelda couldn't help herself, and though replying with an 'I love you too, Link', she just had to wonder if he really meant it.
The next morning, Link was absent from his bed again when Zelda woke up.
---
Zelda was happy to see Link cheerily talking with Roy and Samus at breakfast. She took a seat beside Samus
"Morning everyone." Zelda sang.
"Mornin' Zelda." Roy mumbled sleepily.
"Good morning." Samus chirped
"G'Morning Zelda my love." Link said smiling.
Zelda smiled back, and as she dished up her eggs and hash browns, the thought of Link not loving her slowly started to melt away.
---
Link and Zelda were back in their room, after a nice long breakfast. Zelda was in the shower. Link walked into the bathroom.
"Where's my comb?"
"It's in the exact place it was since the last time you asked me that."
"I don't see it…"
"Then we can go and get you some glasses today."
"Are you sure you didn't just move it accidentally?"
"Yes Link. I'm one hundred percent sure that it is in the exact same spot, and that I didn't move it."
"How can you be so sure."
"Oh Link… you're so stubborn."
"Not stubborn. Persistent. Now, will you be so kind as to help me find my comb?" Link heard a sigh from the other side of the shower curtain. The water stopped running. Zelda reached out to grab a towel, and wrapped it around herself. She stepped out of the shower and pointed to Link's baby blue comb, sitting in its usual spot by the sink. "OOOHH!" Link said in mock surprise, "I didn't even see it there! It blended so well with the countertop." He tapped the counter, which was a bright yellow.
Zelda gave another sigh, but she was smiling. "Okay, okay enough! You win." She wrapped her arms around Link's neck and kissed him, as he slowly slid her towel off.
---
"Where ARE Link and Zelda?" Peach grumbled. She was tapping her foot impatiently. Her, Roy, Marth and Samus were standing in the lobby, waiting to for Link and Zelda. They were going to the mall.
"Tell me again why we're going to the mall." Roy said.
"Cuz we need to live these last four days together to the fullest!"
"…And so, we're going to the mall?" Marth asked.
"Yes!"
"Somehow, I think you'll be spending more time in the dressing rooms than with Roy and I." Marth said.
"Oh, be a sport Marth." Samus said. She checked her watch. "It's almost one o'clock… I'm going up to ask them if they're still coming."
---
Samus reached the sixth floor. The elevator doors slid open and she walked down the hall to room 612. She knocked on the door. No answer. She tried again, to no avail. She took her fist and rapped on the door. What she heard next struck her as a little odd.
"EEK! OH!" a crash was heard. "CRAP! OW!"
"Zelda, someone's at the door."
"Yeah thanks Sherlock Holmes. Just a moment!" There was much rustling around, and a few more crashes. Finally, the door opened, revealing Zelda, wrapped in a towel, with her hair madly tangled. Her face was red and her breathing came in short puffs. "Hi Samus."
"Oh, I'm sorry, did I come at a bad time?" Samus stammered.
"Of course not! Wont you come insi--"
"NO!" Link shouted from inside.
"Oh, no, sorry."
"Um… I take it you're not coming to the mall anymore?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, I don't think we can make that…" There was an uncomfortable silence. Samus was the one to break it.
"Well… I'll just, go now… have, er fun…"
"Y-yeah, you… too." Zelda said, and she closed the door.
