Here is chapter 2. Hope you like it!

Zelda suddenly sat up in her bed, panting heavily. It was just a dream she told herself, just a dream. She looked around herself just to make sure she was still in her hotel room that she was sharing with Link, who was still deep in sleep in the bed next to her. She couldn't remember exactly what her dream, or nightmare as it seemed, was about. She just remembered fighting, and losing. Badly. She saw the faces of the crowd booing and taunting her in her mind.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Link's voice. "I would love it if you combed my hair. An autograph? Oh sure. Settle down, ladies, there is enough for all of you. I know my hair is gorgeous, you don't have to tell me." Zelda rolled her eyes. Well, there is always one way to shut up a sleeping Link. Zelda leaned over to her bed-side table and turned on her light. She opened the drawer and took out her all-to-handy roll of all purpose duct tape. She then ripped off a piece and placed it over Link's mouth. He continued to sleep, but now his words were muffled and much quieter. Zelda sighed contentedly.

But her quiet moment was soon interrupted by someone shouting outside her window. Zelda looked outside her window and saw a girl in pink running down the street. "Stop! Come back! I need my crown!" she was shouting. Zelda wanted to come down and help her, but that would mean going downstairs to the lobby, and by that time she would be gone. She stuck her head out the window and noticed the drain pipe that went all the way to the ground.

If there is one thing that Zelda has learned from old romance sitcoms, it's that the best way to get downstairs at three a.m. without waking your parents up is to shimmy down the drain pipe. Zelda had never done this because #1 she lived in a castle and her room was like five stories up and #2 because even if she did make it down with out breaking her legs, the guards, video cameras, and guard dogs would make sure that she wouldn't get away without getting noticed. But right now, she was on the second floor and there where no guards in sight; a perfect opportunity to try this out. She reached over and grabbed the drain pipe and held on to it as she swung one leg out the window, knocking down the flower pots on the window sill which fell to the ground landing on an unfortunate cat. She flinched as the cat cried out in surprise. She then wrapped her leg around the pipe as she pulled the rest of herself out the window and into the cold night air. Hanging on for dear life, she slowly began to climb down until she was safely on the ground and sighed in relief.

Zelda was still in her pajamas and slippers, but she paid no attention as she ran after the girl that had been shouting. The girl had stopped to catch her breathe and Zelda easily caught up with her. "What is wrong?" she asked.

"He stole my crown! I woke up and it was gone! I saw him get in a car and drive away with it."

"Calm down. And stop shouting. Most people are trying to sleep at this time in the night."

"I'm sorry, but my crown means a me. It is handed down from each previous Mushroom Princess. And it brings me good luck. If I don't have it, I can barely fight at all. And my battle is tomorrow!"

"So you're entering the Super Smash bros Melee?" Zelda asked.

The girl sighed. "I know what you are thinking. How can a princess be entering and expect to win? How on earth could she possibly defeat anyone?" she said.

"No, it wasn't. I know exactly how you feel. I am princess to, and I also plan on competing. My name is Zelda, by the way."

"Peach. Princess Peach," she told her cheerfully as she held out a manicu for Zelda to shake. "I am little surprised to hear that," Princess Peach said as the started to walk down the street. "After all, it is not every day that I meet a Princess that also knows how to defend herself." She gave Zelda a smile and she gave Peach one in return.

"Now, what about that man? The one that stole your crown, I mean. We should keep an eye out for him, so we can find him and show him what happens when you mess with a princess."

I would greatly enjoy it if you would R&R ASAP. Chapter numba three is comin' right up.
