AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIII IIIIIIGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHT! Who's ready for some fluff?!

Marth: I think he's finally lost it.

Ike: Who cares! I finally get sum fluff with mah gurl! *crushes Peach in a hug*

DAMMIT IKE STOP KILLING PEOPLE WITH LOVE

Ike: Sorry…

Peach: *cough cough*

Pit: *whispers to Samus* Sorry about the headboard…

Samus: *whispers to Pit* It's alright, I was actually pretty impressed-

*Lucario socks Samus in the face*

Lucario: WHORE! Cease corrupting the angel with your bewitchingly sexual voice!

Pit: SAMMY! NOES!

Everyone else: 0_0

Peach knocked on the Fire Emblem door.

"Coming!"

It was later that same day, about an hour or so after everyone had come inside. Marth and Ike had retreated to their room to shower and change. The prince wrapped a towel around his waist and jogged for the door.

He opened it to meet the Mushroom Princess's bright, cheery face.

"Yes? What's up, Peach?"

It took a minute for the princess to respond. Marth had just gotten out of the shower; toned, lean muscles bulging out of his bare chest. His form, sopping wet, glistened under the dim hallway lighting, pulsing gently with every steady breath he took. His long, streamlined head of bright blue hair was matted down over his eyes, easily capable of driving fangirls wild with a mere glance. Peach began to lose herself.

"Hey…Peach? You alright?"

Suddenly she snapped to attention, the faint blush hidden in her cheeks swiftly dissipating.

"O-oh! Yes… Master Hand wanted me to distribute these to everyone."

She handed him a flyer. Marth raised an eyebrow and took hold of it, his hand making contact with Peach's for a split second. The soft touch of his skin made the princess subconsciously gasp, drawing his attention.

He looked up from the paper with his piercing cobalt eyes, flashing in sync with the sheen of his hair.

"Something wrong?"

"N-NO! Er-no… nothing's wrong…"

The prince shrugged and brought his gaze back to the paper. It was one of Master Hand's personal notification letters, something he only distributed to the Smashers when there was something too important to be posted out on the regular bulletin board. It read:

Attention:

There will be a Smash Manor Summer Ball to be held in the Grand Hall. This event will begin at precisely eight and continue through the night, on the day of June 14. Dates are encouraged, as well as formal wear. While you may commune this knowledge among yourselves, refrain from enlightening Crazy Hand. It will be to his surprise.

If you have any song or refreshment requests, please notify me as soon as possible.

Warm Regards:

Master Hand

Marth thought back to the intercom fight some time before. This was probably Master Hand's way of getting the word out without getting himself killed. The swordsman folded the paper in half and glanced up.

Peach was still there, a hot blush tinting her cheeks a light rose color.

"Um…you can leave now…"

"OH! Yes! Right away! S-sorry to bother you!"

With that she dashed away, head filled with dreadfully perfect thoughts.

Marth shrugged and shut the door.

A dance, huh? Sounds interesting. Not like I have anyone to go with…

"So who are you guys taking?"

It was another hour later, in the cafeteria. Our usual four, Pit, Link, Marth, and Ike had sat down to dinner when Marth brought the event up. Ike stabbed a piece of chicken with his fork and wolfed it down without a second thought.

"I think it's pretty obvious who we're taking, dude…"

The mercenary looked to Pit.

"ESPECIALLY for you."

The angel jumped.

"W-what?"

"Oh, come on. Everyone's in on it. Just ask her out already."

"T-there's absolutely nothing between me and Samus! We're just really good friends!"

"…I never said anything about Samus…" Ike spoke with a victorious little sneer.

The angel shuffled around nervously in his seat.

Link spoke up.

"The question really is HOW we're going to ask them. I pretty much do the same thing every time whenever I ask Zelda if she wants to do something."

He took a bite out of his sandwich.

"Kiss her hand, drop the question, give her puppy eyes. Never seems to fail. Well, not yet, anyway."

He swallowed.

"But not this time. This time, I'm taking things up a notch."

Ike raised his eyebrows.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. I did a little digging, and I found out that she secretly loves it when guys get ridiculously intimate with her. She can't stand it."

Marth's look of shock was priceless.

"…first off… what do you mean by… digging?"

Link grinned.

Pit sighed.

"You got Snake to look at her diary again, didn't you?"

"Hey! It wasn't like he had anything better to do!"

The angel shook his head.

"Isn't that kinda creepy? I mean, Zelda's only seventeen, and Snake's like…"

"Thirty?"

"Somewhere around there."

Marth spoke again.

"And just what, exactly, do you plan to do with that information, now that you have it?"

Link's grin grew even wider.

"Oh… you'll see…"

Ike turned to Pit.

"Now, back to YOU."

The archer shrunk a little in his seat.

"Yeah, I might like Samus, but so what? I doubt she'd even go to something like that."

Marth nodded.

"That's true. Samus never really was one for social events. It might be more trouble than it's worth."

"Well, technically speaking," Link piped up, "you can get her to go with you, if you play your cards right."

Pit brightened up a bit.

"Really? How?"

"I've got the perfect idea. I'm going to use the exact same thing on Zelda." Link leaned over and whispered into Pit's ear.

Forget eggplants, Pit's head nearly turned into a tomato it got so red.

"No way. NO FREAKING WAY."

"That may be your only shot, bud."

Ike and Marth leaned in.

"What did he say?"

Pit's voice was quivering.

"Link, w-where… h-how did you… w-w-why… YOU'RE GOING TO USE THAT ON ZELDA?! SHE MIGHT HAVE A HEART ATTACK!"

"What did he say?!"

"Well, I told you that I needed to spice things up a bit. It'll probably work for Samus, too."

"What did he say?!"

"There's no way I'd ever do that!"

"OH MY ASHERA PIT WHAT THE HELL DID HE SAY?!"

Pit's face had gone from beet red to white as a ghost.

"I don't think you want to know…"

Marth looked angrily to Link.

"Oh, why do you have be such a perv when there's an angel around?! He'll probably send us all to hell!"

Pit cleared his throat.

"No… it may be the only way…"

Marth's jaw dropped.

"What? WHAT?!"

"Think about it! I'm about the only one who's ever been this close to Samus! Most of the guys who try what Link suggested aren't! That means I've got a shot, right?"

The prince was unconvinced.

"Don't do it, Pit. She'll never treat you the same way again."

Link flashed a devilish grin.

"My point exactly!"

Link put his arm around Pit and led him away, going into a spheal of every specific thing that he was supposed to do.

Ike looked to Marth.

"This could be funny."

He stumbled out of his seat and trailed them closely.

Marth just sighed and put his head in his hands.

"Why do they never listen to me?"

"Who?"

Marth jumped. Whipping around to the source of the noise, he caught the twinkling eyes of Peach, who had snuck up behind him. She held a small salad in her dainty hands.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" She rushed out an apology. "I didn't mean to scare you."

"N-no… it's fine. I just wasn't expecting to see you."

He looked around.

"Where are Samus and Zelda?"

Peach looked away.

"Oh, Zelda's in her room reading, and I think Sammy went to the gym. Target practice, or something. Why?"

"Oh, no reason. But I think they're in for a very flirty surprise…"

"What?"

"Nothing! So, why are you here? Shouldn't you be hinting for Ike to ask you to the dance?"

She sat down and sighed.

"No… actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about…"

Marth's eyes widened.

"Uh… yeah?"

Peach looked up.

"Would… would you-?"

"HEY MARTH!" Ike's voice thundered across the cafeteria. The prince whirled his head around.

"WHAT?!"

"AREN'T YOU COMING?"

The bluenette hung his head.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

He looked back up to Peach.

"Sorry, princess. Can you tell me later? I've got to go."

She smiled half-heartedly.

"Y-yes. Go have fun. I'll see you later."

Marth smiled, stood up, and walked away.

Peach's gaze left him and settled on her salad.

Oh, why am I having these thoughts? I'm Ike's girlfriend, not his!

Zelda was in her room, casually reading her copy of Romeo and Juliet that she borrowed from the Smash Manor Library. It was such a sweet, sad story. So sweet that it pushed the words on the page aside altogether, allowing the only thought that permeated her mind to be Link and the upcoming dance. It was only a few days away… why had he not asked her if she wanted to go or not? Was he no longer interested? Maybe it was only his sense of chivalry or duty that had propelled him to rescue her from time to time. Maybe he didn't like her in the first place. Maybe-

Zelda put down the book.

No… that can't be… I'm just overthinking things. He'll ask me when he's ready.

She turned the page and sighed, returning to her love story.

Just outside, a group of four teens were arguing amongst themselves.

"Link, don't do this! She's not ready for something this bold!" Of course this was Marth, he was the only one against the plan.

"Oh, pipe down already. Zelda needs this and so do I. I won't even make it that bad. I've just gotta show Pit the ropes."

He looked to the angel, who was beginning to have second thoughts.

"Alright, Pit, listen up. The way to win a girl is to always start casually. Pretend you're not even interested at first. Then…"

Pit's eyes were huge.

"T-then…?"

Link snickered.

"Surprise her."

He looked to Ike.

"Alright. Of course you know that you guys can't be around when I do this, so I need you to take Pit to the security room and have him watch the cameras installed in Zelda's dorm."

Marth furrowed his brow.

"But… there AREN'T any cameras installed in the dorms…"

Once again, he got a devilish grin from Link.

"Maybe not in the BOYS dorms…"

Ike shook his head.

"Honestly, Link, you get more amazing by the day."

Link bowed.

"Thank you, thank you. Now go!" He pulled out a bottle of Golden Chu Jelly and stuck it in his pocket.

Pit perked up.

"What's THAT for?"

Link shrugged.

"Dramatic effect."

Not fully understanding, the angel fluttered off behind Ike and Marth, who were sprinting off to the security room.

Link turned to the door and drew a deep breath.

"Here we go…"

Zelda clapped her book shut.

Link took a step toward the door.

Pit, Ike, and Marth burst into the security room.

Zelda set the book on her dresser.

Link raised a hand to knock.

Pit, Ike and Marth found Zelda's screen and huddled around it.

Link stuffed a rose in his pocket, alongside the Chu Jelly.

Zelda flopped down on her mattress and sighed. Surely her hero would be along soon eno-


Thump! Thump! Thump!

The princess nearly flew out of bed as Link knocked. Eagerly she bolted for the door, as fast as her flowing dress would permit.

She opened it to find the Hero of Time, leaning against the side of the doorway with a playful smirk on his face.

"Evening, princess… May I come in?"

Zelda could already feel breath escaping her.

"O-of course! Come in!"

Casually Link strutted in the door, hands wedged in his pockets. He broke away the rose's thorns with his rough fingertips as he gripped it and the bottle in his hands.

Zelda shut the door behind him, her heart fluttery and excited.

"So… princess… there was something I wanted to ask you…"

The brunette could almost feel her heart stop. Quickly she whirled around.

"Y-yes, Link?"

Without a word, he got down to business. The first thing he did was draw the Master Sword, much to Zelda's surprise. Becoming incredibly slow in his motions her brought it to his features, whereas he drew his tongue down the broad end of it, sending blissful chills of interest up the princess's spine. Moving the blade to his chest he traced the edge down his shirt, slicing the fabric cleanly in two. As he reached the shirt's end he tore apart any remaining, connecting fabric with his hands, startling the silence, and especially, the princess. He took his garments and dropped them to the floor, leaving his muscled chest for the sorceress to behold. And behold she did, a fiery blush burning across her face.

"L-L-L…"

He moved to his tights next. Again taking the Master Sword, he sliced them both up the sides and stepped out of them, taking the rose and bottle out first. He was now left only in his boxers and hat. He lashed the blade with his tongue once more before slowly pulling off his forest green cap, carelessly casting it aside. He dropped the sword as well.

Zelda could hardly breathe.

He took a slow, intimidating step forward. Zelda stood straight as a board as he approached, shaking violently with excitement and anticipation. As he drew closer, he raised a hand to her cheek and leaned in.

"So… Zelda…"

He lifted the rose and bit the stem between his teeth.

"Will you go to the dance with me…?"

Zelda wanted to scream YES to the heavens, but she was incapable of speaking. She shuddered under the cool flow of his breath, while he came nearer and nearer.

For a second, it seemed like she wouldn't respond at all. It was then decided.

Link had to use his secret weapon.

Lifting the bottle of Golden Chu Jelly over his head, he uncorked it, allowing the syrupy, yellowed liquid to flow into his hair and down his face like a stream of honey over warm pancakes. He licked it off the sides of his mouth as it trickled down onto his chest, glittering brightly in the summer sun that was beaming through the windows. Taking it a step further he put both hands on Zelda's shoulders and pressed his lips to hers, allowing the jelly's sweet taste to pass from him to her.

When he opened his eyes, he gave the princess a half smile.

"So…?"

Zelda was nearly in tears of joy. Eagerly she struggled to put words together on how much she loved him, on how much she would give up for him, on how much she loved it whenever he did something like this. But for now, it was all she could say to mutter a silent:

"…y-yes… I w-would l-l-love to…"

Link's grin grew a little. Moving his hands from her shoulders to around her waist, he once again met her lips with his, this time in a more heated, passionate kiss.

Unable to process everything she was feeling, the poor princess fainted happily in her hero's arms.

Link suddenly realized that he made the girl pass out.

"Whoops. Guess I went a little too far."

The guys in the security room burst out laughing.

And Pit plans to do the exact same thing to Samus... MWEHEHE

Pit: W-why?!

Cuz I'm the author. I call the shots.

Pit: Okay...

Samus: *is thinking* can't wait can't wait can't wait

Lucario: *walks up to Link* Do I need to punch you, too?!

Link: AHH! *runs*

Lucario: C'mere! *chases*

Guys! Stop messing around! And someone get poor Zellie to a doctor!

Ike: *stomps angrily up to author* What the hell was that?! Where was the Peach/Ike fluff?!

*crosses arms* I said there would be fluff. I never said it'd be for you.

*Ike whacks the author with Ragnell*

Yeah, it was the weekend, and Megaranger66 said that he wouldn't untie me until I got another chapter done, so here you go! New chapter a day or so after the old one!

Oh, and when I say I'm going to put in sexual undertones *wink wink*, I put in sexual undertones.

That Link/Zelda scene in the end goes out to you, Burning Light and Crystal, for adding my stuff to the Pit x Samus group. Plus, I know how much you luuuuuuuuv our little Hero of Seduction…*wink wink wink*

Oh, and if you were confused as to why Link was licking up Lantern Oil, keep in mind that I meant RARE CHU JELLY, not Yellow Chu Jelly. There's a difference, y'know.

Can't think of much else, except the fact that I should probably stop typing this and go to sleep.

Until next time, then!

Link: *with black eye* I HEARD THAT!
