Hey readers! Thank you for the reviews! I'm so glad I'm still getting them!!!

Oh, and I've noticed I'm getting a lot of questions about the story...... Hey! I'm not saying it's a bad thing! I enjoy getting questions, and I just want to say that if you do have any certain questions you're dying to ask, please don't hesitate!!

Please enjoy the fifth chapter of Who Could be the One?

Chapter V: Dinner

"You know what? I'm just not hungry right now," I lied. Really right now I was starving since I hadn't had anything to eat since I got on that bus.

"Then you don't have to eat!" Peach said.

"What's the point of going to dinner if you're not hungry?!" I asked, almost in an angry tone.

"You get to converse with other people," Zelda smiled.

"And besides, there might be a special guy waiting to talk to you," Peach added with a dreamy expression on her face.

I groaned, but not loud enough for the to princesses to hear. They were never going to leave that "like" subject, aren't they? That means for the rest of my stay here (a very long time) I was going to have to deal with nags about not having anybody I "liked".

Peach was skipping in front, and dragging us along. Maybe if her grasp weren't so tight, I would have been able to sneak away. Zelda didn't seem to mind that she was being dragged to a place she would go anyways if Peach hadn't been dragging her (she must've gone through this many times).

We kept walking (or in Peach's case, skipping) until we came to a large double-door entrance. Even from where I stood, I could smell the delicious of food. My mouth watered, and I was tempted to run in and enjoy satisfying my need for anything edible. But I planted my feet into the ground.

Peach had to tug at my arm before I could be dragged again. Zelda patted Peach, and the peppy princess let go of her. Zelda then opened one of the double doors to let us in. This time, I was the one dragging Peach until I entered the room.

There were at least three long tables and they were filled up with brawlers eating. There was a round table in the back that seemed like it couldn't hold much people. Nana was the only one sitting at the table, and I wondered where her brother was.

"Yay! The special today is spaghetti with a creamy cheese sauce!" Peach clapped her hands and jumped up and down.

Creamy cheese? What the heck was that supposed to be doing as a sauce on spaghetti?! I tried to think how gross it probably was before I gave in to my starvation.

"Hey look! I see Mario over there! I'm going to go sit next to him!" Peach announced.

Zelda patted Peach's shoulder and asked,

"Are you sure we're supposed to sit where the boys are? I mean, M.H. did give us our own table for a reason right?" she pointed at the round table Nana was sitting at.

"Nah, M.H. only gave us that table because he thought us girls would be grossed out by the habits of some boys," Peach glared at the modern dinosaur (his name was Bowser, right?), who was chowing down his food like a carnivorous...... Dinosaur? Well it was horribly disgusting to watch.

"Well see you two later," Peach waved at us and skipped over to sit next to the italian man in red.

Zelda shrugged in agreement to what Peach had said.

"Would you like me to take you to Captain Falcon?" Zelda asked me.

"No," I answered solemnly, "I'll take my chances with the ice climber,"

I gestured to Nana who was sitting by herself, and Zelda nodded. She then went and sneaked into a spot next to the guy with the green hat and pointed ears (Ok, I know I forget names easily, but I'm new here! But his name was Link.... I think...).

I walked over to the round table and sat across from the little girl. She seemed to have teary eyes, and she didn't touch the food in front of her.

"Are you going to eat that?" I asked, looking at the food hopefully.

Nana looked up at me, and I instantly knew she had been crying. She shook her head and passed me her plate. I smiled and put some of the spaghetti in my mouth and chewed happily (it was actually really good!).

"So, what's wrong?" I asked out of the blue. I really didn't know why I asked the question.

"I, miss my b-brother," Nana stuttered.

I then remembered earlier when the two siblings were fighting about being the leader or something. I wasn't sure if they were really close, and if they never left each other's company, but it seemed that way since Nana was crying over it.

"Where's your brother?" I asked in between mouthfuls of spaghetti.

"He went to go hang out with Toon Link," Nana sniffed, pointing where her brother and the animated boy were sitting.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I said without much sympathy. But Nana seemed to take it like it was the most comforting thing she had ever heard.

"Hey! Do you want to be friends?" she asked gleefully.

"Uh," was all I could manage.

What was she doing?! Trying to be friends with me?! All I did was not give her much sympathy and she went on asking this question! But, I guess she was in pain since her brother wasn't there to give her company.

"Sure," I finally said.

The biggest smile I had ever seen appeared on her face. She jumped off her seat.

"Ok! Tomorrow we can go skating! See you then!" she ran out of the dining room.

That was an awkward moment, but at least she wasn't going to be moping around all the time.... Wait, was cheerfulness more annoying than unhappiness? I looked over at Peach, who was flirting with Mario, and decided I didn't want to end up making that judgement.

I had just finished the plate, when an all too familiar voice called out to me,

"Hey Sammie! Come sit with us!"

I bit my lip and turned around. Sitting at one of the tables was Captain Falcon. He was waving at me with one hand, and pointing at an empty seat beside him with another hand. I got up from my seat and started walking towards the table he was sitting at (my plan was to walk near it, then walk right pass it, and off to my room).

But before I could continue my plan, Captain Falcon grabbed my hand and pulled me down to the seat next to him. I hesitated to fight back against his strength. He pulled me close to him and put his arm around me. I really didn't care, he used to do that to me all the time.

"How'd she become your girlfriend so fast?" asked the prince (Marth, right?) who was seated right in front of us.

I clenched my teeth together. Now people were thinking I was his girlfriend?! I don't care if that guy is a prince or not, I just wanted to punch him!

"Oh she's not my girlfriend (yet), but I've known her for a while," Captain Falcon smiled.

"But she just got here," Marth glared at the racer.

I held my breath. I wasn't sure if Captain Falcon knew that my existence here before was supposed to be kept secret.

"Oh, I just know her from a long time ago. No questions got it?" Captain Falcon replied quickly.

Marth rested his case and started conversing with the green dinosaur, Yoshi (I was surprised I remembered his name). Captain Falcon didn't say anything to me, he just kept his arm around me and smiling a cheesy smile. I was starting to get irritated. Why was I here if he didn't need me?

"So Ike, why were you yelling earlier?" asked Marth

For a second, it felt as if my heart stopped beating, and everything moved in slow-motion. I looked to the guy next to Yoshi, and found that he was the one I had been trying to avoid all this time. He seemed to already know I was there, because right when that question was asked, he looked at me. Horror filled inside of me as I wondered what he would say.

"Yeah, who'd you yell at to get out of your room?" asked a blue hedgehog (who was Sonic).

Ike looked at me for one more second and turned to face Sonic. I bit my lip and held my breath. What was he going to say?! He sat there with a solemn, but thoughtful expression. I couldn't take it any longer of him being all thoughtful!!!

"A spider," Ike said suddenly.

I almost was about to yell, 'THAT ISN'T TRUE!' , when I realized what he had said.

"A spider?" asked Sonic and Marth at the same time.

"Uh, yeah, a REALLY ugly and big spider," Ike said.

Wait, did he just call me a 'REALLY ugly and big spider'?

"Dude, a spider?" Sonic chuckled.

"Um, yeah, spiders really freak me out," Ike pretended to confess his true fear, but his face didn't show it (but obviously, the boys bought it).

Suddenly, everyone sitting at the table started laughing (except of course Ike and I didn't). Ike gave me an irritated look and then started to finish his meal. I wanted to thank him, and then also apologize for what I caused him.

Sonic got up on the table and then shouted,

"HEY EVERYBODY! IKE IS SCARED OF SPIDERS!!!"

Ok, he was overdoing it. But Ike didn't seem to care. Peach suddenly rushed over beside him and patted his back. She was probably telling him it was Ok to be afraid of spiders (due to the fact that she obviously was too). But Ike just ignored her and everybody else.

"WHAT'S GOING ON?!" demanded a booming voice.

At the entrance was the Master Hand himself, tightened into a fist. The whole room went silent. He floated toward Peach (who was still patting Ike's shoulder) and pointed at her.

"Princesses Peach! What is the meaning of all this racket?!" He demanded.

Peach hesitated for a second then replied,

"Ike confessed his fear, and everyone started laughing,"

"Why would he confess?" Master Hand started to calm down

"When I asked him why he yelled earlier," Marth said.

That's when Master Hand seemed to look at me. He finally figured out why I was so mad about my old room. Everyone else, but Ike, looked at me too. My face started to warm a little. Master Hand then floated out the room, and leaving us in silence. But it wasn't long until everyone started talking again.

"Hey Sammie! Are you free Saturday?" Captain Falcon asked me.

"Don't call me Sammie," I shook off his arm and got out of my seat.

"Ok then, what about Saturday?"

"I don't go on dates," I said solemnly and walked out of the dining room. There really was no reason to stay there anymore. I had satisfied my hunger, and that was all I needed during dinner.

That night, I didn't fall asleep until Zelda and Peach came in with all their questions. At least, I wouldn't have to answer them until tomorrow.

I know this chapter is short, and not very good at all (don't be afraid to tell me how awful it was!), but, it was the only thing I could think up for the 'dinner' part.

Please R&R!!!
