Chapter 6: Family Update

"Okay well, I thought that since we had a full day until we leave we could do some exploring, doesn't it sound like fun." Roy was excited, Link grumbled and Marth just smiled. "I thought we could go together-"

"Yeah that's not going to work." Link said making it clear he wasn't going to change his mind. "I'm going by myself." He walked off before anyone could arrange anything.

"I'll go with him, Peach." Marth volunteered.

"Okay, well we're meeting back here at six for dinner okay?" Marth nodded as he jogged after Link.

"Well I guess it's just you and me Roy. Where do you want to go?"

"Um, how about we go rock climbing!" Roy pointed to the rock climbing building, Vertical Dreams.

"Why not?" Peach and Roy headed over there.

"Hey Link, wait up!" Link stopped to let Marth catch up to him. After a moment of panting he looked at Link. "You know that wasn't a very nice thing you did back there. She just wanted to do something fun you know?"

"So?" Link started to walk again.

"So? You were nicer at the airport if I remember correctly." Marth argued as they crossed the street.

"Fine, I just don't like her okay?" Link sighed. "You don't and won't get it."

"Okay, then what's with the attitude? Do you act like this to everyone you dislike? Five years ago -" Link stared at Marth just wanting him to stop asking questions already.

"Five years ago, I didn't have a family! Everything fell apart when she died, then after that the shattered pieces were smashed into dust. I have a happy family now but I felt guilty that I treated them like that so I changed for them, hiding my true self away. Now I can be myself so grow up, and deal with it." The flame of anger flickered in his eyes as Marth search and found sadness and misunderstanding.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that you're five years were heaven, because mine was hell. We weren't exactly a family, but we weren't nothing." Marth gave Link one last gaze and ran away.

"MARTH WAIT!!" Link tried to run after him but he wasn't a good crowd runner as Marth was.

Soon Link found himself at the center where tons of people walked around making finding Marth impossible. He gave up and sat on one of the wooden benches. He gave a very loud sigh telling the world how he felt.

"That will be forty five dollars please." The person said as Peach handed them a credit card.

"This is going to be so much fun!!" Roy beamed as he finished putting on the rock climbing dream. "Ready?"

"Give me a break." Peach joked, "I had to change out of my favorite pink dress for you."

"Come on old lady!"

"Oh that's it! I'll race you up the wall!"

"You're on!" Roy had a gleam in his eyes. As soon as the spotters were ready Roy and Peach began their race to the top.

They both reached the top panting from their determination to beat the other. In the end though, Roy won by making a daring move. Peach was one step ahead of him and she was almost to the top. He took a chance and jumping up. He could either, catch the edge and win or slip, hurt himself in one way or another and lose. Well, lucky that he could recover after he hit his chest on the wall and scrambled to the top.

"Well, I must say that you put up a good fight! Put it there!" Roy took the hand shake and took a couple of sips of water after it.

"I must admit that you're not as bad as I thought you were old woman." Roy laughed.

"Let's head back down and get a snack before we have to go to meet the others." Roy practically leaped off to get the snack.

"Hey Roy can I ask you a personal question?" Peach just sat there letting the spotters let her down.

"What?" Ray asked as he concentrated on going backwards down.

"They told me that you lived with an adoptive family for five years, how was it?" Roy had to think a little bit.

"Well you are sorta mistaken. I only lived with them for four years."

"What happened?" Peach asked, surprised that her sources were wrong.

"I actually don't know. I just woke up one day and I got the news that I was being adopted! I lived with this couple and they got a devoice. I lived with my dad, Eliwood!" Roy smiled at Peach.

"I'm so sorry." Peach was disappointed in herself to even bring up the subject.

"It's okay, everything turned out better and I didn't really know her really well so yeah. What was your life like?"

"I guess it's my turn to be questioned. You have one question and I will answer it truthfully as I can." Roy had to think about it.

"I can't think about it now, but I'll save it for the future."

"If I may ask, what happened before the adoptive family?" Roy always thought about this question and after many nights, knew what he was going to say exactly whenever someone asked someone that particular question.

"Well I- AGH!" Roy shouted as he lost his footing. It was a disaster, soon the spotter lost his handling and Roy was falling to the ground. "SOMEONE STOP IT!!" It was soon under control.

"Are you okay?!?" Peach came over when she reached the bottom.

"That was close, and I don't want to make it any closer!" Roy was dangling but the rope a few inches off the ground.

"Whoa, that is too close for comfort I think you deserve a snack now!"

"You said it!" Roy chirped after he caught his breathe.

"Give up? I was just getting started!" Link turned to Marth's smiling face. 'What the heck? Wasn't he POed at me a few minutes ago?' Link couldn't find any trace of sadness or anger anywhere on his face.

"Look, I'm sorry about what I said earlier. It's just that I hate Peach." Marth took a seat next to Link on the bench. "She's trying to fill in a gap that can't be. I don't know and like how she knows about our past and everything about it but she's not going to replace Daisy, ever."

"Yeah, it did seem like we were already friends whether we wanted to or not when we first met her, not to be mean or anything. So what happened during your vacation?"

"Well, I lived with a family that took me in when they found me on the street. It was just me, dad, mom and Aryll. I never had a little sister, or anyone to really take care after so that was an interesting experience and now I don't feel like talking."

"Okay, I guess it's only fair if I spill too."

"No duh!"

"Ignoring that. There's really nothing to explain. I had an abusing mother and a brother. That's it, end of story." Link was going to question until he was interrupted by Marth. "Oh shoot, it's almost six, we should get going."

"Why what time is it?" Link asked thinking it wasn't going to be that bad.

"Five fifty eight."

"Oh dang, well I wonder what we have to do next." Link got up and started running, with Marth close behind him. 'That was close, thank you time!!'

"Where on earth are they??" Roy complained, ready for dinner. "It's six thirty, I think we should ditch them!!"

"Are you really that hungry?"

"Yes, I am!" Soon enough Link and Marth were running-sprinting towards them. "OO, what determination, see they were dying too!"

"I'm so….sorry…..about…being…late!!" Marth could only say in between gasps. They were both panting like dogs and sweating from all the running. Besides wanting to be on time they had to dodge the speeding cars that wanted to hit them for being idiots and running instead of waiting for the walk signal.

"Okay, let's go for dinner!!!"

"Wow, never thought I would be looking forward to this." Link said after catching his breath.

"Are you anorexic?" Roy was devastated at the idea. Peach got a taxi as the three boys had to be squished in the back. Poor Link and Marth who were already hot and being squished together didn't help one bit.

"Thanks to Peach!!" They all cheered as they held up their glasses.

"No, problem! Oh one of my friends is going to come by okay?" the three nodded. They didn't care, they were sitting and eating good food, who would want more? Soon Peach took off towards the door to meet her friend.

All the heads turned to where Peach went and saw another man. The stranger looked around Peach's age wearing a black suit which made him look like he was in a secret agency or something secretive and cool. Yet the trench coat seemed to match up with a gruff voice which stirred a bad memory in, at least Link and Marth. 'Is it him?' both of them thought. Link clenched his fists together ready to pounce. Marth held one of the butter knives, not knowing what to expect. Roy, who had no idea what was happening, could sense that the other two were beginning to become tense. He felt uneasy with them being like that but he didn't want to draw attention to them.

The man was a few inches taller than Peach, and turned around. 'Not him' the two sighed and released their tenseness. They weren't sure if they wanted it to be him or glad that it wasn't. The man watched their odd reaction with his wild purple eyes. The man also had grey hair, yet he looked young, even with the eye patch. He also sported a wolfish grin as if he was being handed a present. Peach handed him some papers and before they knew it he was staring that them. Being discovered they turned their heads as if nothing happened. Link tried to glance at the strange man again but the guy already disappeared. Daisy taught them a lot of things and one of them was not to judge them on looks or first impressions, but there was something that Link didn't like about him. He could feel Marth and Roy felt the same way too, even though Roy had no idea who that man could have been.
