Okay! This is weird... I should be working on Spanish project right now, but I am not because I am so bored and I don't want to do anything. I know I should work because if I don't I will fail Spanish, and I won't be one of my Spanish teacher's favorite students anymore... Anyways, I thank Royal Kenya, halomasterchief, and The Princess Zelda for their wonderful fan fictions. If they didn't exist, these things would happen:
1. We would be stuck with horrible Mary Sue fan fiction.
2. I wouldn't be able to write any good fan fiction because there would be no inspiration for my fan fiction.
3. There would be no good romantic Super Smash Brothers/Zelda fan fiction on here!
Oh yeah, just to let you guys know, the title of this chapter was based on a song. Yeah, but this time, it wasn't a Faye Wong song! Er... Well, there's nothing bad about having a Faye Wong song for the title of my chapters, but oh well. It was based of Tsubasa's A Song of Storm and Fire by Yuki Kajiura, except I changed it from song to battle, because it would make more sense. It's a really good song for the characters in the show when they are battling.
Starting Time: Saturday, March 4, 2006 at 2:03 PM (Not right after I finished the sixth chapter, but on the same day... I suck at projects... (cries) I really need to stop this habit of mine...)
Finishing Time: Monday, March 13, 2006 at 9:08 PM (The day I got my Spanish project back! Turns out... I got an A-! Yay! I feel so happy! I had to do an oral presentation, and I thought it sucked, but the teacher probably understood that I was nervous and that some stupid people in my class were being idiots, and were laughing at my presentation for no reason, so she gave me some slack! I am still happy! )

Chapter 8 - A Battle of Storm and Fire
A loud buzzing sound shot through the air at exactly seven o'clock in the morning. Link eyes slowly slid open for the Melee Tournament. He wanted to sleep more. He didn't get enough sleep because Roy was acting weird and was at his desk the whole time in their room on the computer typing something up, deleting it, and typing the whole thing up again. When Link came over to see and ask what he was doing, Roy quickly closed the window he had on his computer. Link was very suspicious with Roy's behavior because he would reopen the window, doing the exact same process again. It was abnormal for Roy to be doing something so secretive in the middle of the night. More importantly, Link was one of Roy's closest friends. Roy didn't want to tell Link anything about what he was doing and the two swordsmen kept nothing hidden from each other. Roy had been acting strange recently, and Link was worried if Roy was alright. He decided to give his flamed hair fellow swordsman some time before he told him what was going on. He was also awoken from Marth, who opened the dorm room door and entering their room very late at night. Link was a very deep sleeper, but for some reason he was awoken at the opening and closing of the door. To him, something seemed not right. He could somehow feel it that something went wrong when Marth came in… he just wasn't sure what.
Link buried his head in his pillow and groaned loudly. He lethargically, slowly moved his left arm to his night table and shut the alarm clock off. He groaned again and rolled over on his side and continued to sleep. He was having a good dream about winning the Melee Tournament, as his dream continued. He dreamed of Zelda… something wrong with her. He saw her… in his dream. She wasn't smiling, but instead a frown was in place of her usual grin. Sadness in her eyes… something that was very upsetting... She tried to smile at him, but it failed. Tears were slowly starting to build up in her eyes, before they slid off her cheeks and hit onto the ground. Link wanted to ask her what was wrong… but his voice wasn't coming out. No matter how hard he tried to speak his voice was lost, and didn't work. However, his dream was interrupted when someone began to shake Link's right shoulder and calling his name.
"Link... Link... It's time to get up!" the person said to the Hyrulean.
"Just five more minutes, Navi," Link muttered in his sleep, thinking that the person who was shaking him was his beloved fairy friend that had guided him in battles.
Roy stared blankly at Link's response to him. He shook his right shoulder again, to get him up, but Link did not leave his bed. After a few more attempts, Roy was about to give up on waking Link up, when an idea popped in his mind. He slyly grinned to himself, as he quickly sprinted to the bathroom, he found an empty glass as he filled one fourth of the glass with water, ran back to the left side of Link's bed, and had the water slowly trickle down on Link's face. Link's eyes immediately shot open as he felt the freezing water run down. He sat up from his bed, furious to see it was Roy who had woken him up by dumping cold water on him. Roy gave a small laugh at the glowering, sleepy Link.
"Don't look at me, Link, it was Marth's idea!" Roy said, as he pointed to Marth. Link's eyes quickly stopped focusing on Roy and onto Marth. Marth was polishing his Falchion and sitting on his already made bed, and paying no attention to the two other swordsmen.
"He's lying, Link. He did it himself," Marth said coolly, without looking up from his Falchion. He took his sword by the handle raised it vertically in the air and inspected it for any spots he missed when polishing. As Link stopped staring at Marth, he glared Roy for a moment as he was still laughing at the incident.
"What? It was the only way to get you up! The Master Hand would kill you if you were late for the Melee Tournament!" Roy exclaimed as Link still glared at Roy for his actions. Seeing that his friend was still not happy by his actions, he stopped laughing and sighed.
Roy slightly rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I am sorry to have been an idiot and dumped cold water on you. Will you forgive me?"
Link raised an eyebrow with his face still half asleep, and closed his eyes for a moment and murmured. "Yes, I forgive you," Link said slurry as if he was drunk. After saying that, Link fell back down on his bed and continued to sleep. Roy stared at Link for a moment.
"Um... Marth? I think Link is dead," Roy said. Marth looked up from his Falchion and watched Link sleep a little more. An idea suddenly sprung from Marth's head, he smirked at the thought and cleared his throat.
"I am sure; Princess Zelda would be very upset to see her hero like this at the moment. Since you don't seem to be interested in Zelda anymore, I guess she's mine," Marth lied very loudly. Roy knew that Marth was lying, but Roy smiled now to see Link shot up from his bed, now fully awake and rushing to bathroom to get himself ready for the day. Link also gave Roy and Marth a slight glare, now that they were both sniggering at him now knowing the only way to get Link up from bed, was just to mention the princess of Hyrule's name.
After cleaning himself, by taking a shower, Link quickly dressed in his traditional Kokiri green tunic with a black belt as he also tugged on his tight white pants and shirt, and his green hat. He looked in the mirror for a moment to put in his traditional Hyrulean earrings on both of his ears, as he was satisfied with his appearance, he inspected his weapons. He unsheathed his Master Sword to make sure there was nothing on it as he smiled at his reflection in the blade. He carefully sheathed his sword and strapped his Hyrulean shield on his back. He double checked everything in his mind to make sure everything was in order, and he had all the items he needed for battling. As he faced both Marth and Roy they were both waiting at the door. As they had their hands crossed and impatient looks on their face. Roy finally sighed at the now ready-to-go Link.
"Now, are you finally ready?" asked Roy as Link nodded his head. Marth then opened the door for the two swordsmen and they there were off to begin the Melee Tournament.
Breakfast was shorter than usual today, because of the Melee Tournament, the smashers had to be quick when eating their foods, so they would keep all the fans waiting for them to finally come out and battle one another. Link, Marth, and Roy all entered the cafeteria where Peach, Samus and Zelda were all seated as Samus and Peach were chatting with each other. However, Zelda was the only one that didn't seem to be in a good mood. Her eyes were set on the table, filled with despair, as she was still upset about last night. Her friends had noticed her behavior, and they kept on trying to say what happened that night. She didn't respond to them, as they both decided to carry on with the day. Zelda would tell Samus and Peach what was wrong, when the time came. Peach was the first one to notice the swordsmen coming in and raised her right arm and waved at them. Roy smiled at the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, and seated right next to her. Link took a seat next to Zelda and Roy, while Marth sat in between Peach and Samus.
Roy took a deep breath and faced Peach. He looked into her baby blue eyes and knew that this was another perfect chance to tell her what he had been always wanted to say. More than ever, Roy wanted to take a hold of his feelings and tell the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom how he felt. Ever since he has arrived in Super Smash Brothers Melee, he had always viewed the dressed in pink princess to be a ditz, and obsessed with her hair and clothes. However, gradually over time, he had learned something. There was this complete other side of Peach that she rarely exposed to anyone, but sometimes to her friends. A wise, caring tom boyish side of her that wasn't the dainty princess she appeared to be. She would always try her best in fighting, despite her athletic abilities, and would always try to remain positive. Roy fell in love with her because of that, and wanted to express his emotions more than ever. He had been meaning to tell her this for a long time. He just never had the courage to tell her. He hoped now, that he would have enough strength to tell the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom about the way he felt towards her.
"Peach, I recall from the first day of the Melee Tournament that I wanted to tell you something important, but I was interrupted by Young Link," Roy began to say as he became nervous. Peach smiled at Roy and nodded her head. Roy took another deep breath and continued.
"What I have always wanted to say to you was that, I lo-" Roy began, when Samus interrupted their conversation.
"Peach! Save me from Marth! He's harassing me!" Samus said in a jokingly way as Marth feigned a shock expression upon his face.
"Samus! I would never dream to harass you in any way!" Marth exclaimed as Samus began to giggle at their joke.
Peach went along with their joke for a while as Roy sighed heavily to himself. He missed another opportunity to tell her his feelings. Roy needed to tell Peach soon on how he felt for her, and if he didn't he felt that he would be upset because his feelings would never come across to her, if he didn't tell her himself. To him, this was the most important thing he had to do for this day. He wanted to confess. Peach was the most important person to him. He loved her, and he hoped that she would feel the same way. He had been waiting for a very long time to tell her this, and he thought that if he told her during the Melee Tournament, it would be the best time to tell her. Roy clenched his fist and he squinched his eyebrows as his eyes were full of determination for the day he was going to tell the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom about who the most important person was to him.
Link laughed at Samus and Marth's joke they had about Marth harassing Samus during breakfast, but he stopped to notice that there was only one person that wasn't enjoying their conversation. It was Princess Zelda. Her hands were folded in her lap as she looked down at them with unhappiness in her eyes. Link studied the princess closely. He had never seen Zelda really upset over anything because she was always cheerful about something in the day, but today it was different. She seemed as if all of her happiness had been drained, and her face looked in creditably pale. Her eyes were filled with despair, and it look as if she wanted to break down into tears, but as if she couldn't. Life disappeared in her usual warm, loving atmosphere and felt as if she was a soulless rag doll. Link was worried more than ever about the princess's emotions and wondering what had happened to her this morning. Link's mind then suddenly thought of Marth.
"Could Zelda may have talked with Marth this morning or last night about something? What if she confessed her love for him? Or worse... What if he did something horrible to her? Damn it... I wish I could ask her right now about what's bothering about her, but I don't think she will say anything if I ask her now. Maybe I'll ask her later... I hope she tells me soon, because I don't want her to stay like this. I know she's strong, but what if her sadness remains like this forever? If Marth hurt her in any way, I'll make sure that he pays his price," Link thought.
He thought deeper and deeper about Zelda's sadness, while he kept on thinking about what may have happened between Marth and Zelda. Link always feared that something bad might have happened between the two, and if it did, what would Zelda do after that? Or perhaps it wasn't something that had to do with Marth. Maybe it was stress or something that was in the Melee Tournament that made Zelda upset. His dream was slowly coming true. Zelda wasn't able to smile at Link like she always did. There was definitely something wrong with the princess of Hyrule, and whatever it was, it was probably very troubling to her because no matter how much sadness Zelda could be in, she would always be able to smile. No matter what. This was different. His life would become a living nightmare if he didn't see the radiant Princess Zelda smile warmly as she always did when ever she saw him. Link was again lost in his thoughts when Peach noticed he was staring off in space and called at him.
"Link? Hey, Link! What's the matter, bud?" asked the always hyper princess. Link blinked a couple of times after hearing his name being called, and his eyes then slowly moved towards the blonde haired princess that was waving her gloved hand in front of his face.
"Uh... What, Peach?" asked Link now looking at her.
"Nothing. I was just trying to see if you were actually paying attention to what we were talking about... Tee hee hee!" Peach said as she put her hand in front of her mouth and giggled. Link stared at her, for her very immature and infantile behavior that she sometimes had, as he went on kept thinking on why Zelda might be sad.
"Just have a little faith in yourself, Link. She'll eventually tell you what's wrong..." Link thought to himself, as he sighed and knew what he had to do for the rest of the day. He smiled at himself for his confidence, and began to eat a piece of toast. However, he still wasn't sure if that his confidence would be a little too much to believe that Zelda would tell him what was wrong…
After the short breakfast had ended, the Master Hand had called everyone down into the waiting room where all the smashers waited while some other smashers battles with each other. The place being filled with sofas, chairs, and a huge screen to show all the other smashers fights to keep the waiting smashers entertained in the room. The smashers were all talking excitedly on their second day of battling and the Melee Tournament. Link carefully watched the princess of Hyrule as she smiled softly at Peach and Samus, but as the other two continued to talk on another subject, the princess looked down at her feet with her eyes filled with sorrow. Link continued to watch the princess carefully until the princess finally looked up from her feet and up at something else. Wondering what the princess was now paying attention to now, Link quickly shifted his gaze from the princess upon where she was staring at. Link saw the Master Hand stand upon a small platform, ready to give a speech, and listed off the first two smashers who would be fighting in the first battle for the Free-for-All. As the room started to fill with silence, the Master Hand cleared his throat and began to speak.
"As you all know, today is the second day of the Melee Tournament, and I want you all to be sure that you all try your best and make sure that if any fans come up to you if any of you happen to step out of the Super Smash Brothers Mansion, that you be friendly towards them..." the Master Hand lectured as started his long speech.
He continued to ramble about the history of the Super Smash Brothers and how the mansion was built before the original Super Smash Brothers was released. Link listened for about the first thirty seconds when his mind started to wander. He looked at some other smashers, and saw that Fox yawned loudly at the Master Hand's speech while the Master Hand paid no attention to him and continued to speak. All the smashers looked as if they were all going to fall asleep if the Master Hand didn't shut up and move on with the Melee Tournament and list off the first smashers fighting. The room was currently lifeless as all the smashers listened to the Master Hand's droning words come out of his mouth. Link looked at Zelda who was paying somewhat close attention to the Master Hand, but after a while her eyes shifted from the Master Hand at both of her hands placed in front of her. Link caught the look of sorrow in her eyes, and saw the unhappiness in her face.
"And finally, the creator of Super Smash Brothers Melee decided that this year around, that we should have more arenas, and more smashers. Most of them are you smashers today! Without your help, you wouldn't have made Super Smash Brothers the Tournament it was if it wasn't for all of your abilities and help! Let's all give ourselves a pat on the back for a great job we all have done for the last couple of years, and a round of applause!" the Master Hand exclaimed as all the other smashers gave a very weak applause, for they were all tried of hearing the Master Hand talk.
"Okay now! I will now list off the names of the smashers that will be in the first battle!" the Master Hand said as everyone's faced filled up with life again, and they were now anxious to hear who the first people battling were. They all waited for the Master Hand going to say who the two smashers were, all excited and nervous.
"The first two smashers are..." the Master Hand began as he looked down on his list.
"Please don't let it be me... Please don't let it be me... I don't want to go first," Link said to himself in his head, as he felt a knot forming in his stomach and his heart beating faster.
"Link and... Marth!"
"Damn it! Not only, I am going first for the Tournament, but I am also fighting Marth! Crap... This is just a perfect way to start out the day!" Link thought as he walked over to the transporter. He saw that Marth was already on the platform smirking like he always did at him as Link walked over to the glowing white platform and stepped on it. The Master Hand pushed a button in the control center and they were transported.
The two swordsmen were transported to the Pokémon Stadium were they were going to be decided who was the winner of this round. Even though, Link had lost the team battle with Kirby against Marth and Zelda, that didn't mean he wasn't able to fight anymore. The stadium was packed with fans on each side of arena, all waving to both Link and Marth. Many of them were fan girls that were screaming and shouting at Link and Marth, saying who was more attractive than the other. Link saw a couple of fan girls screaming at him, saying how handsome he was and all asking them to marry him. There were also many fan boys as well, debating on who would win the match, and betting their money on it. Link blinked a few times at the other swordsman on the other side of the arena still wearing that smirk. Link looked up and saw the announcer at the side of the stadium with the microphone already in his hand and was ready to start the battle. Link unsheathed his Master Sword with his left sword hand and was now ready to strike Marth, if Marth was going to come running towards him. Marth got out his Falchion and held it horizontally near the right side of his face with both of his hands clasped around the sword as he planted both of his feet on the ground.
"3... 2... 1... GO!" the announcer said.
Right after those words were said the battle began. Fans were screaming at both of the smashers, cheering them on for one of them to win. Link didn't want to run towards Marth because the possible uses of his counter attack, so he quickly got out bow and arrows and fired them towards Marth. An arrow pierced into his amour and the pain immediately shot in Marth's side, but that didn't stop the prince of Altea from charging towards the Hero of Time. Link shot a couple of more arrows, hoping that they would still give him some damage. He checked Marth's percentage to see if the arrows were actually hitting him. It turns out they were, but not that much. It was still better than nothing. When Marth had finally come really close to Link, Link quickly jumped in the air and flipped forward down behind of Marth. Link raised his left arm in the air to strike him, but Marth quickly turned around and shielded Link's attack with his Falchion. The two blades colliding were shaking as both of the owner's strength was putting an enormous amount of force on the blades. Both of the swordsmen were gritting their teeth as the blades quavered with one another.
"So, Marth... I noticed that Zelda was very upset today... Did you do anything to her?" asked Link. Link was happy that no one in the waiting room would be able to hear him if he talked to Marth like this. The fans were screaming so loudly, that all the sound was blocked out in the waiting room's television in the mansion. Marth simply smirked wildly at the Hero of Time.
"I just said a few words to her about something," Marth said slyly as withdrew from the collision of the Master Sword and his Falchion.
Link jumped back, as Marth attempted to hit Link; he quickly blocked Marth's attack using his Hyrulean shield. He raised his Master Sword again and struck it towards Marth, as Marth blocked it with his Falchion. The blades became to vibrate again, as his face was close towards Marth. Having only the two blades in front of their faces being the only guard from Link's face being only inches away from Marth's as they both stared at each other in directly in the eye, both of them not blinking.
"What did you say to her? Did you hurt her?" asked Link through clenched teeth as he was getting slightly angry if Marth had hurt Zelda in any way. Zelda was the most precious person on earth to him. If she was hurt, by any means, Link would be sure to make the person who hurt her, pay his price.
"Nope, I just told her the truth about something," Marth said using that sly tone of voice, as he moved back a little bit. Marth quickly got into his position for his counter attack and waiting at the right moment for Link to move forward, and blast him away. Link saw that this was going to get nowhere with him using his Master Sword so he quickly took out a bomb and threw it at Marth as Link quickly moved back. Marth charging was stopped due to explosion in his face and the damage did make Marth's percentage rise.
"Tell me what you said to her! Zelda was obviously hurt from whatever you said, and I want to know because I want her to be happy," Link said slowly as Marth smirked at him. "If she's happy, then I am happy."
"I can't say now...," Marth began to say mysteriously. "But, I think you will find out soon enough, Link."
Link stared at the swordsman in confusion for a few seconds, dropping his guard, while he was trying to think about what Marth had just said. Taking this opportunity when Link was caught off guard, Marth used his Dolphin Slash on Link, having Hyrule's legendary hero fly up in the air for a few seconds. Link anger slowly rose as he was furious that Marth might have hurted the princess of Hyrule. Marth turned out to be a very strong opponent. This was the first time in Link's life that he wasn't sure if he was going to win this battle. Most of the time he was able to fight all of his opponents with ease, however, this time it was different. Marth was a very quick, skilled swordsman, and Link did not know what the outcome of this battle would be. He was slightly worried that he wouldn't win, but he would do what Zelda had always taught him. Never give up hope.
As he landed on the ground of the stadium he scowled at the prince of Altea as he slowly stepped towards the other swordsman. Without breaking his eye contact on the prince, he slowly raised his Master Sword let out a yell and started to hit him continuously with his sword as if he was going to kill Marth. Perhaps, this tactic would work better than most. He wasn't thinking about what he was doing and thought that this would be a better way to triumph over the battle. Link, of course, didn't want to actually kill Marth, but he was frustrated that the prince may have hurted the one he loved. He was letting out all of his frustration and anger out as he did not understand anything that was going on. He loved Zelda. He really did. However, wasn't this a wrong thing to do to Marth? He slowly tried to control his anger for a little bit. However, his anger was still a little uncontrollable. After being hit a few times, by Link's sword, Marth was finally able to block some of Link's hits with his Falchion.
"No one hurts Princess Zelda!" Link barked loudly as he continued to hit Marth with his sword as Marth blocked his hits with his own sword.
After a few more hits, Marth moved back to do his counter attack again. He blew Link a few feet away from him as his percentage raised, but as Link slowly flew in the air for a couple of seconds, Marth saw something in his deep sky blue eyes. Determination. Determination to win this match between him and Link. As he landed safely on the ground, Link took out another arrow and fired it at Marth. Going through his armor, Marth's percentage slightly went up as he continued he decided to jump and use his Dancing Blade, as he hit Link. As Link flew back a couple of feet, he closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. He wanted to win this competition against Marth more than anything. Link was not just fighting for himself, but for Princess Zelda of Hyrule. His percentage was over a hundred, and Link feared that he would lose this match if he didn't finish Marth off soon. Landing on the ground on his back, he slowly got up. Link looked at Marth directly in his eyes, Link saw the hue of violets in his eyes and as Marth slowly ran towards Link, he took a deep breath and with the perfect timing, he smashed Marth out of the arena.
After smashing Marth, the announcer said that it was the end of the match. Link was now panting as he brushed the sweat off his brow. His sword was lowered down the ground, as his muscles ached and his back was in pain from flying up in the air from Marth's Falchion. Link closed his eyes for a moment, still taking quick breaths of the arena's sultry air, and listened to the roar of the crowd going wild at the winner of the battle. Link softly smiled to himself. He had won. He had successfully defeated the prince of Altea in the Super Smash Brothers Melee Tournament. He was able to come out on top of this huge battle, and did everything that Zelda had always taught him, when in doubt of something. He listened carefully to the screaming fan girls, begging Link to be their husband, but Link knew deep down inside, there was only one person for him. With a flash of a precious memory, Link saw only one person standing in front of him in his mind smiling warmly at him. That person was Princess Zelda of Hyrule.
Marth appeared back on the arena on the floating platform from the air. Marth stepped off the glowing, white platform and bowed to several fan girls in the stadium, as the crowd went even wilder. He smirked at many of the girls, as some of them fainted at his beauty. He acknowledged many of them and continued to smile at many of the fan girls and bowed again at them. He tried to his best to not send the wrong message to the other girls, saying that he was still single, because he wasn't. Now that he was in a relationship with Samus, he hoped that they would go even more head over heels over him, and obsessed more about him. He also somewhat feared about possible events that could happen to Samus if the fan girls discovered that she was his girlfriend. However, Marth decided to not worry about it, since Samus could always take care of any fan girl problems, if they ever occurred. After waving to several members of the audience, he finally faced Link and smiled at him as well.
"Well, done. I haven't had a battle like this in a long time," Marth said smiling.
Link blinked a few times at the prince of Altea as he noticed his smile was now warmer than ever. For some reason, Link noticed Marth had changed since the first day he met Marth. Something inside seemed to changed Marth emotionally, and Link wondered if it was Zelda's doing. But to Link, it didn't seem right. If it was Zelda's doing, why would she be so upset? Perhaps it was some other person's doing… Marth probably did hurt Zelda in some way, emotionally. Link eyed Marth suspiciously for a little bit, but he decided that it would be best to smile back at him. He was in rage when he thought that Marth had given Zelda pain, and he had forgiven him? He thought closely about it, and he realized that Marth must have understood that he was very frustrated with what was going on between him and Zelda. Link knew that he could never keep a grudge on a smasher no matter what they did to Zelda. Link was too soft-hearted to be that kind of a person. He thought of what Zelda would say if he kept that hatred in his soul for a long time on a smasher. Link knew that Zelda wouldn't approve at all, even if Marth may have hurted Zelda, it wasn't right. He knew Marth was a good person deep down inside to forgive him, so Link held out his right hand, as Marth stared at Link for a moment.
"I haven't had a battle like this one in a long time, either," Link said slowly as he smiled softly at him. "Let's get on from now on. Even if you may have harmed Princess Zelda, I still want to get to know you a little better."
Marth looked down at Link's hand for a moment, and smiled as well to the swordsman and grasped the Hero of Time's hand. He admitted that he had strongly admired Link's courage and determination for the Melee Tournament, and he would have really liked to become better friends with him. They set off on the wrong foot, but hopefully, they could forgive each other and start over. Marth shook Link's head a few times as both smiled at each other for a moment, as the crowd cheered both of them on for being good sports. Fan girls went beyond crazy, as they started to fantasize about the two swordsmen. As fans continued to cheer at them, Link realized at that moment, that he would be able to get along with Marth better than usual after this battle. Link wanted to become friends with Marth. Link had always admired him for that different strength he had on the battlefield, and Marth was a very sympathetic person. Somehow, he knew that Marth felt the same, way and wanted to befriend the Hyrulean rather than become an enemy him. As both of the swordsmen were contented with their behavior in the battlefield, they both strode up the transporter platform and waved good bye to their fans.
Link and Marth both were transported back to the waiting room, where Roy, Peach, Samus, and Zelda all greeted them. Most of the four other smashers were happy to see them and they wanted to comment on their battle, except Zelda. There was still something wrong with her as she slowly made her way to both of the smashers. Samus, Peach, Roy however, were the first ones to rush over to where Marth and Link were standing as they all circled around the two swordsmen, all of them congratulating the two smashers. This was the most intense battle they had ever seen in the Melee Tournament for over three years, and they wanted to acknowledge both of the smashers.
"That was an awesome battle, you guys!" Roy exclaimed excitedly. "Wow... You guys just surprised me with all that hard work you guys did! Great job, Link...and Marth..."
"Thanks, Roy," Link said as he smiled at his red haired friend and at all the other smashers.
He stopped smiling to notice that Zelda was behind Samus and Roy standing near each other with her eyes looking at her hands. When she realized that Link was staring at her, she tried to give her usual warm smile, but it failed. She was unable to produce her famous gentle smile, but instead, gave a very weak one. She looked back down at her hands. Zelda understood everything that Marth had told her last night, but she was still upset. There was something inside her that crushed her hope and happiness. She wasn't exactly sure what it was, but she still felt sadness in her heart. Link continued to watch Zelda with concern in his eyes knowing that she was feeling down. Link was still worried with what was bothering Zelda. Would she ever tell him what was wrong? If he asked her now, she may not answer him. Link took another deep breath as he bit the side of his bottom lip and decided it would be best to wait and let Zelda tell him what is wrong.
The day continued to progress as many different smashers came to battlefield and battled one another. Peach had just finished her battle against Falco, and was tried. She had lost to the Starfox crew member and she was feeling a little disappointed in herself for being a little too cocky, thinking that she had finished Falco off, when she didn't. It just happened that Falco had flown down and kicked her at the left of her face while she thought the match was over, when it really wasn't. She tried to find a way to defeat Falco, but she wasn't able to figure it out, when he quickly used his Fire Bird attack, and sent her flying off the arena. She smiled at her opponent and acknowledged him for his win. After being transported back into the waiting room, she nonchalantly wandered around the room, as every one else were busy and weren't there to congratulate her on her battle. As her eyes scanned the room, she saw Roy leaning against a wall staring at his feet with his arms crossed, as he looked up to her and smiled. This was another chance for Roy to tell her how he felt.
"You did a great job out there, Peach," Roy said as Peach walked over to where he was standing. Peach's face flushed a light shade of pink when she heard Roy say that.
"Ah, no... It wasn't that great. I could have done better, but I was being a little too confident in myself," Peach said as she avoided eye contact with the swordsman. He was over complimenting her. Her fighting was never that spectacular, but here he was. One of the most talented fighters in the Melee Tournament was telling her that she was a wonderful fighter. She didn't want to look in his eyes, because she was still a little embarrassed about losing the battle with Falco. The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom was never shy about anything in her life, and was always outspoken and confident in herself all the time, but this was the first time in her life she was ever shy about anything.
"But you did your best, didn't you? That's all that matters. You tried your best out there, and gave it all you got," Roy assured her. Peach's face flushed a deeper shade of pink even more.
"U-uh... Thank you, Roy," Peach said softly. Roy smiled at the Princess of Mushroom Kingdom. His smile dropped, as he quickly remembered why he was waiting for her to finish her battles and continued. He swallowed a lump in his throat as he was prepared to ask his next question. He had been waiting all day for this. He was sure that no one would be there to intrude with what he was going to say after his question, and that he would be finally able to confess to her his love.
"Peach, there's something important I want to talk to you about. I know this may be a little weird to ask, but do you want to come to my bedroom so we can discuss it?" asked Roy. Peach's face immediately shot up from the ground and at Roy's face. She gave him a very confused stare. What was he planning to do? She was rarely invited to Roy's room, when she was alone. Surely, Zelda, Samus, and she were invited several times before, but never when it was with either Roy or Link. Her face began to flush a deeper shade of pink than before, as he was also blushing, and his deep blue eyes were not facing Peach's face anymore, but at his hands.
"U-uh, y-yes," Peach stammered, as Roy let out his arm to escort her down to his room. She locked her arm around his, as she watched the nervous swordsman, leading her down the halls.
Peach was wondering what in the world could Roy want to discuss with her. She had no idea what they were going to do in Roy's room when they got there, and what he wanted to talk to her about. As he walked her down the room, Peach couldn't take her mind off of the idea of what Roy wanted to discuss with her about. To make things worse, she also had to tell him how she felt. She definitely felt happiness whenever she was around the swordsman. He was always so caring for her. She remembered when she confessed her love for Mario, and how the plumber said that he could not accept her feelings for her. Her faithful hero said that he wanted to be friends and that he would always love her as a friend/sister. Besides from having Samus and Zelda comfort her, Roy was also there to give her the most support. She thought she would never find love ever again. She was wrong though. Remembering those times that Roy cared for her and helped her off her feet, she would always feel ashamed that she couldn't do anything for him. However, she slowly started to realize how much she did do for him. She was always there to cheer him up whenever a painful event would occur, and how she told him to always try to have a positive attitude and outlook on life. No matter how little she did to help Roy, she still wanted to confess. She wanted to remain in her usual cheerful mood, because she knew if she acted depressed or worried, Roy would also be upset by her emotions. They finally reached the three swordsmen's room, and Peach waited patiently as Roy took out his key and opened the door for her. She entered in the capacious, tidy room, as the sunlight was still streaming through the windows and onto Roy's bed.
"Er... How about you sit down with me on my bed?" Roy asked awkwardly.
Roy was worried about what he was saying, making sure it didn't sound too forward or awkward. Peach nodded and tried her best to smile at him as Roy felt more comfortable knowing that Peach was in a good mood. Peach slowly made her way to Roy's twin sized bed in the middle of the room were it was in the center of Link's bed on the right, and Marth's bed on the left. She plopped down on the bed softly, with her hands folded in her lap, waiting for Roy to sit down as well. Roy walked to where Peach was seated and sat down with her as well. They sat down in the bed for a moment, thinking and with an uncomfortable feeling in the air. They could hear the air conditioner humming softly through the air when Roy and Peach both began to say something.
"There is something I need to tell you," the swordsman and the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom chorused at the exact same time. Peach stared at the swordsman for a moment, and so did Roy. They both looked each other in the eye, both wondering what the other was going to say.
"Y-you go first, Peach," Roy said as he gestured his hand towards Peach. Peach shook her head at the swordsman.
"Uh, no! You should go first, Roy! I bet what you wanted to talk about is more important than what I wanted to say," Peach said.
"No, really. It's alright. You go first," Roy insisted.
"Please go ahead, Roy," Peach said as she paused. "Okay, this kind of isn't getting us anywhere. Roy, just please go first. I really want to hear what you have to say."
Roy sighed, as he didn't want to tell her right now what he had been planning to tell her for months. He was a little disappointed with him talking about what he wanted to talk about first, because he wished he had a little more time to pull himself together so he could confess to her. Though, he knew deep in his heart, he had all the time he could possibly have to bring himself together to tell her this. He would have to be the one to make the first move.
"Peach, I recall that I wanted to talk to you about this subject for days now. Yesterday, I was about to talk to you about it, but Young Link interrupted me. Even today at breakfast, I was interrupted by Samus, and the truth is... You... and I... I lo-" Roy began to say when another voice in the room cut him off.
" ROY! Have you seen my Super Smash Brothers Melee Tournament form for buying one of those T-shirts that the Master Hand always sells to us, for practically no apparent reason, and-... Ah! You've got company, Roy!"
At the sound a voice calling Roy's name rather loudly the princess and the swordsman both jumped at least three feet off of Roy's bed. They both quickly looked up to see that it was Marth that had entered the room. Marth stood there at the frame of the doorway, watching the two; he somehow was able to access the room, without both of them realizing it. Roy quickly remembered that he didn't lock the door after entering it, so Marth was able to open the door without using his key. This was perfect. Roy had carefully planned to not have anyone interrupt his confession, but someone did. This was getting quite annoying.
"Anyways, do you know where that form is? I really need that form or the Master Hand is going to kill me, if I don't hand that form in by today. Roy, please stop staring at me like that, you are creeping me out," Marth said looking at Roy's glowering face with his red bangs in front of his rolled up eyes, giving Marth a zombie like look.
Roy slowly stood up. This was the last straw for Roy. He wanted to tell Peach how he felt, and this was the perfect timing. He didn't want anyone to interfere with his confession and no matter whom that person was he was going to tell her privately no matter what. As Roy walked over where his blue haired friend stood, Marth knew Roy for years now, and Marth knew that no one in the world should even mess with the young flame hair colored swordsman after being ticked off about many different issues. Roy's head was slightly shaking with annoyance and anger, and his face still remained in that zombie like look that he gave Marth when he was annoyed with his actions. His face turned back into a normal look as he got closer to Marth, but he still had an angry expression on his face. He put both of his hands on Marth's shoulders, spun him around and opened the door with his left hand.
"Peach and I have something very important to talk about, and you, my dear friend, are NOT going to interrupt us for at least twenty minutes!" Roy shouted at his fellow swordsman as he pushed him outside in the hallway.
After slamming the door and locking it, in Marth's face, Marth smirked a little bit at his friend. He knew now, what Roy had to talk with Peach about, and he decided he wouldn't bug the couple any more. Knowing about Roy's love for Peach, he was aware that it was not only rude to intrude on their conversation, but also crude. Flicking his cape with his hand, Marth walked back down the hall where he would join Samus in the waiting room for all the other smashers. On the other side of the door, Roy leaned his back against the door for a little bit and gave a long heavy sigh. He walked back to his bed, at the slightly surprised Peach at Roy's actions towards Marth. He sat down with her again and began to speak again.
"I apologize, Peach, for my actions I did in front of you. It's just that I really want to tell you this a long time ago. I hope you understand," Roy said. Peach smiled softly at him.
"I completely understand. I would be very annoyed if someone kept interrupting a very important conversation, as well."
"Peach, after meeting you and getting to know you for the last couple of years, and I have always wanted to tell you that... that I love you," Roy said as his face started to blush.
His words echoed slightly in the deserted dorm room of the Super Smash Brothers Mansion, as he felt himself relax after that. His feelings were finally out. He wished more than anything that Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom would accept them. Peach's face also turned hot as well as she looked at the now bashful, noble swordsman staring at his hands. Peach revealed her pearly white teeth at Roy with a glamorous smile. He had loved her! He had told her himself! An instant happiness shot into her heart as she felt as if she could run around the mansion and scream in glee about this news. She wanted to let him know too though. How she felt. This was the most important thing to her and she had to release her feelings out to Roy. He had done so, and it was only right if she did too.
"I know. I know you do, Roy. It's because, I love you too," Peach said softly as Roy looked up at her face. Roy looked at the princess's porcelain doll's smiling face, and at her baby blue eyes. He smiled softly at her as well.
"That's actually what I wanted to tell you today. I have always wanted to tell you about my feelings for you, but I wasn't sure if you would feel the same way," Peach said slowly as she blushed at her hands in her lap. She couldn't help smiling at him. Happiness with a person that loved her more than anything and cared for her. This was too good to be true.
Roy was still smiling warmly at the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom; he slowly put his right hand on the right side of her cheek, slowly leaned in and kissed her. Peach's face turned bright pink as she felt Roy's lips pressing against hers as her eyes were still open with shock. She knew however, that this kiss she was receiving was proof of Roy's love for her. She clearly could see what her feelings were for the swordsman and she was in love with him. Peach thought it would be awkward if she still remained in her shocked position on the bed, so she loosened her body up and kissed Roy back with both of her eyes closed.
Link finished battling DK and had won. After being transported back in the waiting room, he smiled to himself and hoped to see all of his friends there waiting for him. His smiled faded once he saw that none of his fellow smashers were in the room at that time. As it turned out, none of his friends were there except for Zelda. Link suddenly remembered that Marth had taken Samus out to lunch and that Roy must have gone somewhere with Peach, and Zelda was just left all alone in the waiting room with nothing special to do. Zelda stood there in the middle of the room with her face still upset. Her eyes were looking at the ground and she seemed to be in great pain. Link wondered why the princess of Hyrule was still there in the waiting room, after all of her battles had been finished. Link slowly walked to where the princess was standing. Zelda looked up at the Hero of Time, after noticing someone was approaching her. She gave a very weak smile at him. Link looked at her carefully studying her sad face.
"Zelda, why are you still here? I thought you finished all of your battles," Link commented.
"Oh, yes... I did finish. It's just that... I don't know... I have been really down lately, if you haven't noticed," Zelda said softly as she looked back down at her hands. Link inhaled some air through his nose softly, as he continued to study the princess's depressed face.
"Would you care if I walked you back to your room?" asked Link politely. Zelda's eyes looked up at him and nodded at him. This was basically the reason why Zelda had not retired early to her room and relaxed. There was no one else she could turn to now. Not after what had happened with Marth.
"Alright. Sure, but could you do me a favor?" Zelda asked softly.
"Yes? What is it, Zelda?" Link replied, wondering what Zelda would ask him to do.
"Could we please stop by the courtyard on our way back?" the princess requested, as Link gave her a confused look.
The golden light from a bright star's eye was softly shinning on the two Hyruleans as the entered the courtyard. Zelda slowly walked to the right side of the courtyard, as she seated herself on a curved stone bench. She was near the place… the place where she had confessed to Marth. She tried her best to not let her sadness overwhelm her, but it seemed to be taking control of her emotions and actions already. No one could be there to comfort her, except for Link. No one could understand, but maybe Link. She didn't know why she felt so comfortable and carefree when she was Link. Why was it that it ended up that she would be talking about this issue she had with Link? She surely would have gone to either Samus or Peach, but she felt that they couldn't understand any of her feelings though. This was so confusing and Zelda wished not talk to anyone about this, but she felt compelled to. The green clothed swordsman looked at her carefully at her gloomy face and made his way to where Zelda was, as he sat down right beside her. Zelda didn't say anything for a while as she continued to stare at her hands folded in her lap. Link was worried for the princess if she wasn't going to say anything, but the princess's lips finally began to move as she spoke softly to Link.
"You know... Last night... Here in this courtyard... I confessed to Marth that I loved him," Zelda said, as her words echoed in the air.
Link was slightly shocked hearing what Zelda had just said. Link now knew why Marth had entered his dorm room so late, was because Zelda had told him about her feelings. This was his biggest concern that Link had in his heart, and Zelda had done it. She had told Marth that she had loved him. Link wondered now what Marth must have said to cause the princess's sadness in her heart. He wanted to say something right now, asking her why she had done so, but the princess cleared her throat, as Link thought she would say something else. She didn't say anything for a while, but Link would give her a little time to gather herself and himself up. The news had crushed his heart a bit, knowing that Zelda was really upset that Marth did not accept her feelings. Maybe she was in love with Marth all along, and Link had never realized it. If Zelda was not happy with not being the one she loved the most, then how would Link feel? Link's happiness was when ever he was with Zelda, and she was happy too. If Zelda's happiness was gone, and her heart was with Marth's, then what would he do? But he knew that if she was happy, he would be happy too. He decided to let her say a little more to see if there was something more than her telling him about her confession. Turns out, there was.
"But, Marth said that I am not the person for him. He said there's someone here, that I will love more than anyone and anything in the world, and that I'm not the one for him... He said that I will find a man that will be perfect for me. Marth said he has already found someone that he truly loves and cares deeply about. He said that person, he loves the most, is teaching him many different things about life. He also told me they both are not emotionally strong, but they will need to learn how to become emotionally strong together. He said... that the person I will love the most, will need me more than anyone, and I need to teach him how to become emotionally strong," Zelda said as she closed her eyes for a little bit, and sighed.
"I asked him why he was always so kind to me. Saving me all the time, treating me with so much kindness, and the reason is... that I remind him of his late sister. He said that my personality was highly similar to his sister, and even some of my facial features resembled her in many different ways. He said that he regretted from being mean to his sister at times, so he thought he would get over the death of his sister if he treated me the way he would have treated his sister, if she was still alive. The reason why he always saved me, was because that he felt guilty about not being able to save his father, and his sister, so every time I was about to die in the Tournament, he always saved me because he felt that he could make it all up to his sister. But… he was wrong. Marth knew that he could never make up anything for his dead sister, by replacing me in her place," Zelda said as she opened her eyes again.
"I admit that, I didn't want to accept everything what Marth was saying and that I was getting really angry by Marth's words… but I realized... He was right. There was nothing I liked about Marth, but his strengths on the battlefield, and his physical features. I don't think I could accept Marth completely for all the weaknesses he had in his heart... However, there is something that is holding me back. I understand everything he said," Zelda added as she paused for a moment.
"But somehow... I feel like I want to cry. For some reason, it hurts. It hurts in my heart... that I can't have Marth to be the person I love the most!" Zelda cried out as she let herself cry.
She held her face down in her lap and put both of her hands over her face as she cried. Link watched her for a moment. The tears in her eyes were pouring out as they softly fell down onto Zelda's white dress. She wept and Link flinched the side of his face a little bit as he got himself off the bench. She didn't stop sobbing, even though Link left his seat. She continued to weep, as more and more tears fell from her eyes onto her dress. As Link wandered over next to Zelda, he wasn't exactly sure with what he was doing, but somehow, it felt as if his body was already being controlled by his heart. As if his heart was moving his body for him, instead of his brain. He pulled out a handkerchief from his right pocket of his forest emerald tunic, as he stood in front of the princess. Zelda wiped some of her tears away with the back of her gloved hand as she still faced down at her lap.
"Why am I crying? I completely understand what Marth said. But why can't I accept it?" Zelda questioned to herself. "Am I being too selfish? I feel some what like a fool now, but I know deep in my heart-"
"I know," interrupted Link as he held out a handkerchief to her. The Princess Zelda slowly lifted her head to the Hero of Hyrule, seeing a caring, smiling face looking back at her.
"I know what you are going through. I... I was infatuated with a woman once. I didn't want to accept it, because she told me that I was in love with someone else. It took me a while, but I realized she was right. I was in love with someone else. I am sure, Zelda that you are in love with someone else too. You just haven't realized your feelings yet. I know that, one day, you will find the person you will love the most. I am sure he's close by... waiting for you to tell him that you love him," Link said as his smile turned bigger. Zelda still had her eyes locked on Link's, as she slowly slipped the handkerchief out of his hands. She also stood up, as she finally was able to produce her famous heavenly smile at the young Hyrulean.
"Thank you," Zelda whispered, as she continued to cry. She stepped forward towards the Hero of Time, as Link brought Zelda closer to him. The only way to give Zelda comfort would to be to embrace her, as he finally wrapped his arms around the princess.
"It's alright. You can cry all you want. I am here for you, Princess Zelda," Link said as he smiled at the princess. Link stroked the princess's golden silky hair, as he hugged the princess a little tighter. Link quickly noticed a beautiful piece of jewelry in Zelda's fair blonde hair, and smiled to himself. She had received the gift he gave to her. A winged animal with the tiny sparkles of sapphires and silver encrusted in it. The wind softly kissed both of the Hyrulean's faces as the both closed their eyes for a moment. After a few minutes, Zelda finally let go of Link and wiped the remaining tears with the back of her gloved hand.
"Thank you so much, Link. You are truly a great friend," Zelda said as she sniffed. She looked up back at the young Hyrulean's kind eyes, and smiled at him.
"Link... There's something I always wanted to ask you. How come you know me so well? You seem to know everything about you, yet I don't know you at all. I know you told me that my memory is removed, but why was my memory removed? What happened to me? Why don't I remember someone close to me, like you?" Zelda continued to question Link.
Zelda stopped for a moment, when a glimpse of a young boy started coming, but a sharp pain came and the boy disappeared. The pain felt as if a dagger was stabbing her brain, as soon as Zelda saw that young boy. Blackness in her head came only after a millisecond after she started to remember everything, but a strong power made her forget that boy, as Zelda fainted. Link quickly caught her, before her light body could even touch the ground. He held Zelda close to his warm body as he carefully observed her face. Link blinked a few times. He was aware of the pain in Zelda's head, was no other than the power of Mewtwo's. Mewtwo made sure that Zelda would completely forget about Link, if she questioned their relationship and started to get her memories of Link back. Mewtwo had the power to erase any memory that would come back in Zelda's mind, and start to remember who Link was.
Link still looked at her face, and sighed. He wanted to cry right now, for Zelda almost getting her memories back. Link would have been happy if Zelda had received her fond memories of Link again, and what they did together. However, Link knew deep down inside that if he were to get the princess's memories back, it would be a task that only he, alone, could do. Zelda forgetting who Link was, and what he meant to her, was worse than death. It was more painful too. Feeling as if there was nothing worth living for anymore. As if there was never ending darkness in Link's heart, and no shine of light to illuminate his heart with happiness or love. His heart… tearing into pieces by monsters of despair and broken hearts… As if he was in the Sacred Realm himself, never being able to escape or leave. He held Zelda closer to his body, as he closed both of his eyes and two tears gradually came out of each eye, as they dripped off of Link's face onto Zelda's face. When Link opened his eyes, he saw his own tears that he shed on Zelda's face, and wiped them away off her face with his gauntleted, right hand. He didn't want her to cry because of him. This was the price he had paid long ago, for not accepting Zelda's love for him. He was the one who was responsible for everything. He would not let Zelda cry. Not now, not ever. He tried smiled softly at the fainted princess, as he held her a little tighter in his arms. He continued to let his tears run down his face, but he would not let them drip off on Zelda's face. He glanced up to see pair of golden butterflies fluttering near the stone bench that Zelda and him were sitting at. He smiled at the two creatures, as he whispered softly in Zelda's right ear.
"I will get your memories of me back, Zelda. If it's the last thing I do... and it's because I love you."
Whoa... Long chapter, eh? So... I am so happy that I actually finished it! It took me longer than ever to finish this chapter... In fact, this was the longest chapter I had to write, because I had trouble saying what I wanted in this. Okay, people who read this chapter... I hope you don't think Link is too arrogant from the whole Marth battle scene, but it was supposed to be dramatic! I am so sorry if I made Link more of a bastard than he is, but I know that deep down, Link just gets frustrated a bit more than Zelda does... Anywho, I finally got Roy and Peach together... Yep... It was wonderful...I feel pretty damn proud of that scene with Roy and Peach. What should I say now? Oh yeah, you know all the stuff about my Live Journal blog, right? If you don't, then go to chapter seven and read the large note I made in the beginning of that chapter. I don't want to explain it again, because I am too lazy and tired. Reviewers response time!
Sage of Downtown Hyrule – Oh wow… I am sorry that's all I have to say now… XD I am somewhat tired, but I really… don't know what to say! I am just… shocked to see how much you enjoyed this chapter! . I didn't know that you were Timestopper all along! Seriously. I was looking at your profile, and you always say how awesome I am, and I'm thinking something similar to this: "Why does she think I am so awesome? Has she even read my fan fics? oO Oo" XD Really. OMFG! I had NO idea that you were Timestopper along! Squee! Ah, thanks about Marth and Samus getting together! And don't worry. I read your long review. It made me go "SQUUUUUUEEEEE!" XD And… erm… right. Bald monkeys… Yes… That's the exact sort of thing I really love… XP And you didn't eat your cookie! (sobs) Why! Why! I gave you a cookie!
SnowCrystal - . Yep! Lengthy chapters are good:D And no… Link has… WAIT A MINUTE! I can't spoil anything for you:x But yes, Marth did confess. He had to. He loved Sammy! XD And what's this? You are too lazy to see what song it was! PLEASE tell me… I wanna know! Oh yeah, by the way, you are not the only Chinese person on this site. I never thought that you were Chinese, but so am I. However, like everyone else, I live in the United States. But I have visited England. I liked it better than France. XP Oh yeah, we have this girl in our school that's half Chinese and she's from England so she has an accent. Yes! You like chocolate… THANK GOD! I like chocolate too! I will read Letters. Good for you! You got Fruits Basket! Yep. That's a great manga/anime. Oh, and you had a week before school ends for you? Damn it! I have like… three more weeks… TT And thank you so much for the review! I am really happy that you love it! Hope you enjoyed this chapter… Hopefully…
Black Light Princess – Yay! You reviewed too! And going "squee", eh? I think all my reviewers are going like that too… Anyways, yeah. Zelda was deeply infatuated with Marth. That's what girls do when they are infatuated. We get really jealous of other people, and start to hate them. Sadly that's what happens with most of the female population today, whenever they see a famous actor that is really attractive like Orlando Bloom or someone. O.O It's SCARY! I don't like him as an actor because he has SO many fan girls that scare the living shit out of me. But I hope you realize that I tried my best to update my fan fics as soon as possible. Sometimes I need to edit a chapter a couple of times to get it right, and make it all spiffy. I edited the last chapter about fifteen times, until I was satisfied. And also, I don't mean to sound really bitchy, but you do have to realize, that if you really pressure me into updating a chapter, it will be really crappy. I don't want that. I want to try to get everything right the first time. If people pressure me to update really soon, I won't have time to finish other chapters, because all of my attention will be focused on the next one. So, I won't be able to make as much as progress if I don't take my time. So either way, you have a choice of waiting a long time right now, or waiting a long time until the second to last chapter, in which it will take me a REALLY long time to finish the last chapter, because I need to write the chapter out first, and then go back to edit it several times, until I am happy with it. Yes. School is a bitch. I still have three weeks of school. And thank you so much for considering me as a friend. I consider you to be one too.
crystalicious – So chocolate is your favorite kind of cookie? Yay! I got that right! Anyways, yeah. I hope that this was soon enough for you. And you should update too. You currently have a good fan fic going on, and I think you should really update it. Hopefully, you thought this chapter was okay. Erm… I never really leaned about the Butterfly Effect. However, I did work my way into butterflies in the story, which was not expected in my story, but it's just something that happens, you know? Why should you feel bad for Link? He's still… doing something. I am not trying to spoil anything for you. XD Ah, I just agreed with you and said ellipses were cool. I think BLP said that too… I use ellipses a lot in my writing if you haven't noticed… blah… XD …
Bigfoot12310 – Erm… That's all you have to say!
Super Davis – (stares at you for a moment) What do you mean? Zelda? A bitch? No way! That's a really harsh thing to say. No offense, but you obviously don't know what happens when you are REALLY infatuated with a person. When you are infatuated with a person, you begin to literary hate your "rivals" or the people that associate with the person you are obsessed with. You get really jealous of those people and you think you hate them. Believe me. I know this stuff. I have gone through it. Link is not a bitch either. All of this stuff is all caused by their hormones. It's all part of growing up as a teenager. You would all understand this stuff, if you've gone through it, and I personally DON'T think that Zelda and/or Link was or is a bitch for just being controlled by their hormones! If you didn't know that, then please don't be so harsh on Zelda or Link. I know… Link wasn't there as much as Zelda, because this was a big time thing for Zelda and Marth.
Royal Kenya – . Well, I am really glad you enjoyed the last chapter. It's okay… I would be happy too if Samus and Marth got together in a fan fiction story too. Thank you so much for your support and your willingness to read this fan fiction. Personally, it felt really awkward to go up to you on here and ask you to read my fan fiction. (sweat drop OF DOOM appears out of the side of my head) Well, cookies are good, but I have to agree with you there. I kind of like brownies better than cookies too. I don't know why I gave everyone a cookie, instead of a brownie… And see? You shouldn't hate Marth as much as you should now. I didn't want Marth to be the bad guy in the story. He's just really depressed in the beginning and then he goes off to sees this girl that has a huge crush on him and she happens to be so much like his deceased his sister, so it was hard for him. And what! Zelda kill Samus? NO! Zelda could never do that. She felt like it, but she didn't, because she realized what she felt for Marth was infatuation. Zelda could never kill Samus.
