Pit: Congratulations.
Thank you Pit. I'm so happy. This story is a hit because of you!
Pit: -blushes- Well, you wrote it…
Oh yeah, huh. So all the credit goes to me!
Pit: Wait, I was being polite!
Oh, okay. Crap.
Chapter Seventeen
Zelda peered into the training arena. No one was in there. She cursed inwardly. She had seen them go in there, but then remembered she had heard Link leaving and had run into the lounge. So where they now? She sighed, and began walking from room to room to ask and search for Link.
"Roy!" Marth scolded. "Stop hogging all the whipped cream! Some of us want some too!"
"There's four extra cans in the pantry, Marth!" Roy returned as he gave another layer of whip cream to his sundae.
The teens had now moved to the kitchen, fixing themselves sundaes for dessert. So far Roy had the most: three scoops from three different ice creams, tons of chocolate, caramel, and strawberry syrup, a handful of cherries, and was now piling on the whipped cream.
"Roy…" Marth said in a dangerous tone.
"Yes?" Roy returned in an angelic one.
"Roy, please!" Pit begged. "We all want some too!"
"Then open a new can!" Roy grinned, adding another layer.
"Give me that!" Marth ordered, grabbing the can. In his haste, he shot some straight into Roy's face. "Uh…"
"God, Marth! What was that for?"
"I'm sorry! It was an accident!" Marth cried.
"Better take a step back," Link whispered to Samus and Pit.
The three did so as Roy grabbed the can back and put some whip cream on Marth's hair.
"Then I guess that's an accident, too!" Roy shot.
"You're so immature!" Marth shouted as he struggled to get whipped cram out of his fine blue hair. As he did so with one hand, he took the can back and sprayed Roy's hair.
Roy cried, "Look who's immature now!"
"Well, you started it!"
"You need to be patient!"
"You need to stop being greedy!"
"Well, ha!" Roy said as he took the can and shot whipped cream at Marth's face.
"I guess this is where we intercede," Pit suggested, and the other two nodded.
After minutes of arguing, the three finally got the two swordsmen to go upstairs to wash the sugary mess off. Samus put the sundaes in the freezer so the ice cream wouldn't melt, and the remaining three ate their own. When they were finished, they decided to all turn in and began up the stairs to the fifth floor.
Meanwhile, Zelda was still searching the mansion for Link. She gave up, never thinking once about the kitchen. She went to the training arena to watch who was training at the moment and to hope that Link might come in. When he didn't, she sighed wistfully and went into the foyer. Too tired to climb the stairs, she teleported herself to the fifth floor and headed towards her room.
Link had just reached the top of the staircase when he saw Zelda's bright blonde hair disappear into her room.
"Zelda!" he called.
Zelda was now in her room, but she heard Link's voice and turned. In her haste, she slipped and fell to the floor, and pain instantly ran through her arm. She had forgotten about the glass vase she had shattered earlier and now some shards had dug themselves into her arm.
When Zelda cried out in pain, Link ran to her room, turning on the light. He saw Zelda in her nightgown, gripping her right arm, which was now bleeding. Link's eyes went wide and he ran to her. He was going to question her about what happened, but he saw parts of the vase on the floor and had realized what had happened. Gently taking her arm, Link pulled the sharp pieces out. Zelda winced every now and then, but she sat still as he cleaned it and bandaged it.
She was still silent when he was done. Without looking at him, she spoke,
"I'm sorry."
Pit and Samus took this as their cue to leave.
Zelda was afraid to meet Link's gaze, afraid he was angry. She forced herself to look into his eyes. All she saw was happiness.
"Zelda, when I said I loved you, I meant it," he said gently.
"I'm so sorry…I'm so stupid," Zelda sobbed silently.
"No, no, you aren't," Link told her firmly. "You're brilliant. Otherwise, you wouldn't hold the Triforce of Wisdom."
Zelda smiled through her tears. "I love you."
"I do too."
He enveloped her in a hug, and Zelda sat there, not wanting to move. Zelda spoke first.
"I'm scared to go back. I'm scared I'll lose you."
"My heart belongs to no one but you," Link reassured her. "I shall never marry anyone until by some miracle I can marry you."
"Promise me," Zelda whispered.
"I do."
"You missed a spot," Roy said in a singsong voice to Marth as the blue haired Altean came out of his bathroom.
"I did not!" Marth retorted, but his hand went to his hair to check anyway. When he found Roy was joking, he advanced towards the redhead menacingly, who in turn laughed his head off as he ran out of Marth's room.
Marth sighed. He still needed to clean his room up after the littluns had destroyed it. He began picking up all his articles when Samus and Pit appeared at his door.
"Link and Zelda are now at amends," Pit declared.
"That's good," Marth said, picking up a tunic, smelling it, and throwing it in his hamper as he made a disgusted face.
"Need some help?" Samus offered.
"Um, yes, it would be nice. Just don't throw anything away without asking me," Marth said.
The other two nodded and began to tidy up. In a few minutes Marth's room was clean again and Pit and Samus stepped out. Pit headed to his room and was about to open his door when Samus called him.
"Yeah?" he asked, coming towards her.
"Er…um…good night," she said, quickly kissing him on the lips, then rushing into her room.
Pit stood in the hall from a moment, dumbstruck.
What the hell just happened?
The nest morning at breakfast, Pit began wondering what the gesture Samus had given him meant. He sat through breakfast, barely touching his food. What was it? Back at his home, none of the angels did that to each other. There were hugs and things, but what was that?
"Roy," Pit walked up to the redhead after breakfast. "I have a question."
"Shoot," Roy said.
Roy and Pit were in the training arena with a few Smashers training. Marth was still eating, Link and Zelda were nowhere to be seen ("Probably spending the last days that they can together," Marth had said), and Samus was oversleeping.
"Well, last night," Pit started, "when Samus and I were going to bed, she pulled me aside and did something to me."
"What?"
"Well, it's hard to explain," Pit said.
"How hard can it be to explain?" Roy scoffed.
"Would it be easier if I did the same thing to you?" Pit offered.
"I suppose it would make it easier for you to explain it, then," Roy shrugged.
"Okay," Pit said, and grabbed Roy.
When his lips met Roy's, Roy let out a scream like he was being murdered, and shoved Pit away from him, wiping his mouth on his glove.
"What's wrong with you?" Roy shrieked.
Pit said dumbly, "Huh?"
"Dude, how can you not know what that is?" Roy shouted.
"What'd I do wrong?" Pit cried, in total innocence.
"Okay," Roy caught his breath. "That's called a kiss. It's okay when guys and girls do it, but it's not okay when guys and guys do it, alright?"
"Okay," Pit said simply.
"Damn," Roy said after a second, "Samus did that to you?"
Pit nodded. Roy panted, shaking his head. He looked over his shoulder, glad none of the others had seen what Pit had done to him.
"She must have the hots for you," Roy laughed. "This is cool!"
"What?" Pit asked.
Roy laughed again, shaking his head. "We gotta tell Marth."
Roy stood up and went to the dining room to see Marth, who was happily eating some blueberries.
"Guess what?" Roy said, grinning. "Samus kissed Pit last night."
Marth dropped the blueberry he was holding. "Last night? As in after you two left my room last night?"
"Yeah, I guess," Pit shrugged. "Why is it so important?"
"Pit," Roy said firmly. "When a girl does that to you, it means she likes you, or maybe even more."
"Huh?"
Roy rolled his eyes. "This guy drives me crazy."
"I'm sorry," Pit said meekly.
"It's okay," Roy smiled. "Your fighting makes up for it."
"Speaking of which," Marth stood up, having finished his breakfast, "Master Hand finishd the list early, since there are less people fighting now. Let's see who we battle tomorrow!"
The three went into the foyer to look at the bulletin. Pit's eyes grew wide at the name he saw.
"Marth," he said in a quiet voice, "I fight you tomorrow."
Dun dun dun! Oh no!
Marth: Big deal. I'll just kill him.
Pit:O No!
Marth: Yes! Mwahaha!
Pit: Help! –hides behind Authoress-
Anyhoodles, sorry this chapter was short.

Glad you like the story! I like Sonic, but Shadow and Knuckles are cool too!
Sonic: Oh no! I must be preferred over them!
ptpeach
You call him Chibi Link? I call him "Young Link", Link calls him "Otooto chan"(which is little brother), and the others call him either "Young Link" or "Link-chan". :)
Hylian dragoness
Hmm...Mini-Mayhem Squad...cute name. Very clever. I just call them the "gang" or the "littluns"(Hehe...Lord of the Flies there...). Mind if I use it:)

LoL, I'm trying to think of a good match for Roy (and Marth), but I can't. :( Have you heard of the game Phantasy Star Online? When I played it, I used to imagine the nurse in the game pairing up with Marth. (They look so cute together) And once, in Nordstrom's, in the Junior's department, there was an animated girl on the wall and I thought she'd be good for Roy. xD I was weird years ago.

Haha...Mewtwo/Zelda! xD Cute.
I'm trying to think of a way to incorporate the Captain Falcon/Pit/Samus love triangle...just wait!
Angelglory
Glad you reviewed. I knew you were reading this story because I saw you on the stats once. Yeah, sometimes I love a story but I never review it.

Soon Snake will be the cool guy we all know from Metal Gear Solid. I'm trying to incorporate Crazy in but it's hard to find the right time, but I'm thinking as hard as I can with the little brain I have that's barely helping me get through life!
Slordrevan
Hehe...for some reason I like writing Snake as a hermit/hobo. xD He'll change later, though.

Yoshizilla
I saw the Wikipedia about May, and I hope she'll turn up! But just to be on the safe side, I won't put her in...yet...
Nintendo Nut1
Heehee...yes, Zelda got her advice from the weirdest person in the world...
Snake: Hey!
Also the coolest...
Snake: That's right.
Megaman-Omega
Sorry I forgot to make Master/Crazy announce the winners. I skipped that. Hehe...The Smashers left in the tournament are Pit, Marth, Link, and Roy...haha, the predictable fangirl puts her favorite four as the semi-finalists...sorry, I just had to do that. :)
And yes, Snake had been there for a VERY long time. I won't go into detail about that, though. ;)
