With the big meeting behind us, looks like it's going to be a peaceful chapter 12.
Falco: Yeah, but how long will that peace last?
Falco…don't say a word.
Falco: … …
Mr. G&W: I shall disclaim! RoyalFanatic does not own us. She does own the story, and our personalities. Oh, and she also owns the V.A. idea.
Away, chapter 12!
Peach happily ran toward the entrance to the roof of the castle. She turned around.
"Come on Roy! Hurry up!" she happily called. The young general eventually caught up to the hyperactive princess.
"You must love sunsets," he said. Peach smiled at him, nodding. The two continued to the roof.
They expected the roof to be empty, but this was not the case. Dr. Mario had already beaten the two and was waiting at the usual spot. On the opposite side of the rooftop, Marth and Kirby were sparring, Pichu and Jigglypuff watching. Roy was semi-shocked; for the first time, Pichu was sitting quietly, merely watching, not pranking.
Peach headed over to where Dr. Mario was sitting, Roy however, jumped to the center of the roof and watched the two warriors sparring. He trusted Dr. Mario with Peach's safety as he gathered his courage. After a few minuets of watching, he headed over, and sat next to Jigglypuff.
"How much longer?" he asked her. Jigglypuff observed the sunset.
"Only a little longer," she said. "Why you ask?"
"I uh…want to ask your master a question," Roy said. Jigglypuff didn't pry, she merely nodded.
"Sunset so beautiful, and different," Jigglypuff said.
"What makes you say that?" Roy asked.
"It very different than sunset at Temple," Jigglypuff said. "Before engagement, master, Link, and Zelda always watch sunset. They talk about things, laugh and watch the sun fall. Ever since Link and Zelda get engaged, sunset watchings die…"
"I see," Roy said. After a few minuets, the two warriors stopped. Pichu was clapping.
"Bravo you guys! Bravo!" he said.
"How did I do?" Kirby asked.
"You're getting better," Marth said. "Just keep up your training."
Kirby bowed and left. Jigglypuff and Pichu followed right behind him. Marth was about to follow them when he noticed Roy staring at the ground.
"Is something wrong?" he asked the general.
"Umm…can I ask you a question?" Roy asked. "Can you…teach me how to be a professional bodyguard?" He looked up and saw Marth look surprised. Roy hastily continued. "I mean, since you guarded Zelda for so long, do you think you could guide me? I don't want to fail Peach…"
"That's the first anyone asked me that," Marth said. Roy looked down again. "But then again, this is the first time I actually had a good friend with a sword. I'll be happy to tell you."
"Really? Thanks!" Roy said. The two sat down and began discussing what Roy needed to focus on as Peach's bodyguard.
In the Shadow Temple, Pikachu headed to meet Samus and Zelda. He bumped into Ganondorf.
"Lord Pikachu, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I should be asking that to you?" Pikachu said. "Aren't you supposed to be watching the Mushroom Kingdom with Falcon?"
"I'm…looking for your father," Ganondorf said.
"You always said that," Pikachu said. "You know where he is. Now go! And don't you dare bother me again!"
"…as you will," Ganondorf said; teleporting away. Pikachu spat where Ganondorf once stood, and then turned and headed back to the prison.
"Princess Zelda, Princess Samus," Pikachu said. "I bring news from the Mushroom Kingdom."
"How are things?" Samus asked.
"They are on high alert. Princess Zelda, the four exiled from Hyrule have been given a second chance."
"A second chance?" Zelda asked. "What do you mean?"
"All four are to help guard the castle. In fact, Peach's bodyguard went to your own, in order to learn how to do a good job of guarding Peach."
"Mushroom Kingdom, I thank you," Zelda muttered, kneeling down and starting to pray. Samus smiled.
"Good to hear," she said. "Let's hope that Peach can stay safe…"
"Yes," Pikachu said.
Meanwhile, at the Mario's Pad, the band had just finished a song.
"Oh yeah!" Falco shouted. "We rule!"
"Good job, you guys," Luigi said. "Okay then, instruments away! We're to patrol the town."
"Let's do it!" Yoshi said happily. Luigi stared at the sky. The first star has just come out.
"Guys, first star," he said, pointing to it.
"Huh? What's the point?" Falco asked.
"From what I learned from our guests, if you wish on the first star, it might come true," Luigi said. "Wanna try it?"
"Sure, why not?" Yoshi said. He and Falco looked up at the sky.
"First star of the night," Luigi whispered. "Please grant my wish. May Princess Peach be safe from harm."
Luigi: I hope my wish comes true.
Marth: You know, I'm still surprised Roy asked me to teach him.
Luigi: Things are getting interesting!
Marth: Review!
