Chapter Five
--
Marth rubbed his cheek upon waking up, he could faintly remember the incidents that occured just the night before. Was Ike dead?
He glanced around, finding no signs of the mercenary. Did Sheeda really get that mad? Did she kill him?
The young prince stood up, stretching out before making his way over to the bathroom.
--Thirty minutes later--
Marth sighed, stepping out of his room. The halls were quiet, either everyone was still asleep or they were all gathered somewhere. He doubted them all still being asleep due to the fact that it was one in the morning. Boy had he overslept today.
Making his way down the staircase he noticed something, the lights were off everywhere. This would definatly make getting down to the lobby a bit difficult, he just hoped he wouldn't break a bone trying to guess each step. Why were the halls lit but the stairs weren't? He shook off the thought, with his one destination being the lobby.
It only took him a couple more steps before bumping into something, or rather someone, who he unfortunatly ended up falling on and tumbling with all the way down.
The prince stood up, dusting himself off, noticing who he had bumped into he felt the need to laugh but held it in anyways, putting on the best apologetic face he could make.
"Sorry about that Fox" the other stood up angrily, dusting himself off just as Marth had a few moments earlier.
"Watch where you're going!" Fox walked away, Marth wanting to do something childish at that moments but refrained from doing so.
"Fox, where are you going?" Fox continued walking, ignoring the prince. This only left Marth one option..Follow.
--
Marth followed him through many halls, before the other stopped at a huge door. He looked around jumping slightly when he noticed Marth behind him.
"Have you been following me?" why was Fox whispering? This was all so confusing.
"Yes, I have. I thought you would have noticed by now" Fox shook his head, signaling Marth forward.
"Come on then, but keep quiet"
Marth followed, upon entering a rather large room he looked about. Everyone was here, why?
"Hey, Marth" Ike waved at him, he seemed to be putting up some poster or something. Wait...Ike? He wasn't dead! What a surprise!
"Ike, you're alive!" Ike only looked at him in surprise. "Of course I am, now help me put this up"
Marth made a face before nodding. "What is this?" Marth asked, stepping on a small stool in order to reach the height Ike had wanted to place this poster.
"It's called a poster, usually made out of paper, ever heard of it Marth?" Marth rolled his eyes rephrasing his question.
"What's all this for? The poster and balloons?"
Ike turned to look at the prince, rather bored himself. "It's a surprise birthday party for Master Hand"
The mercenary stretched his arms above his head, seating himself on a couch, ignoring the glares he received from Fox and Falco who had been holding a conversation until Ike jumped in between them.
"Wait..Ike, why are all the lights off in--" "So Master Hand would think it's still night, well...at least that's what Samus said"
Marth rubbed his head, He'd think it was still night? Come on, Master Hand isn't that brainless...well, seeing as how he was a hand...he was technically brainless but not as in..AHH! Marth shook his head, Master Hand was just Master Hand.
"So what were you all hoping, that he'd fall down the stairs?" Marth crossed his arms, staring at Ike as the mercenary chuckled.
"That would be fun to watch, but no. Don't ask me alright..it was all Samus's idea" Ike yawned, stretching his arms out again, although this time hitting Falco on the forehead.
"Ow..watch it" Ike ignored the bird, accidentally hitting him again.
"Bastard! Stop that!" Ike lifted a brow, as if asking the other what he had done wrong.
"Fox, let's go. And leave this MORON to smack the rest of the mansion around" Fox glared at Ike, taking his leave as he trailed Falco to the kitchen.
"Hey Ike..where's Sheeda?" Marth asked all of the sudden, noticing Sheeda was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh..oh Sheeda? She's probably in her room, I don't know..Shouldn't you know Romeo?" Ike, taking advantage that Fox and Falco had left outstretched his body onto the couch, treating it as he treated his bed.
Marth let this new information sink into his head before a strong arm wrapped itself around his shoulder. "Hey Marth!"
Marth looked over at the man, it was none other than Link.
"Hey Link, where have you been. I haven't seen you around since I arrived here" Link merely shrugged in response. He smiled as he ruffled the prince's hair. "Trying to find a way to impress you know who"
Marth growled, his hair was sticking up everywhere he just hated that! "Oh, still trying to get to her. I hear she likes you"
Link's eyes sparkled, nearing his face towards Marth's as if trying to find the slightest signal of hope. Marth was definatly not lying so Link really looked hopeful now.
"Did she tell you?!" Marth nodded, which made Link jump for joy, the elf-boy now full of confidence waved at Marth.
"I'll see you around then Marth, and thanks" Link was now making his way over to Zelda, a little too confidently. He sure was walking strangely not to mention tripping on inanimate objects and knocking some of the younger smashers over such as Lucas, Pikachu, and Ness who only glared at the elf, except for Ness, who was right about to hit the other with his baseball bat but was pulled back by the other two.
Marth smiled turning back towards the couch only to find it empty, where did Ike go?
--
Ike climbed up a couple more steps before stopping right before his room. He opened it lazily and slammed the door shut behind him.
Yes, he was ditching the party but only temporarily, after all everyone needed their beauty sleep plus a break, which meant...he could get up whenever he felt like it. He didn't get much sleep yesterday anyways, so he had an excuse.
(Flashback)
He was sitting on Marth triumphantly before he noticed another presense. Sheeda...
Marth was the first to faint after noticing Sheeda walk in. Now why would the prince faint? Not short after did Sheeda faint, although on her behalf it was a bit more painful seeing how she bumped her head on a nearby table with a book titled "Kind, Lonely, Princess" faling on her head. How ironic.
It was then Ike noticed why both 'girls' had fainted. Let's just say the position he and Marth shared wasn't exactly a family picture.
He laughed hopping off the bed, now normally he wouldn't care if there were two sleeping princesses in his room, the more princesses the better. But one of them was bleeding, probably from hitting the table too hard.
The mercenary sighed, picking up the woman and making his way over to Dr.Mario's.
Dr.Mario, of course being Dr.Mario, questioned him for a while, making him sign some papers and answer questions. He wasted so much time there...Which was basically the reason as to why he hadn't gotten enough sleep.
(Flashback END)
Ike yawned, preparing himself for a good resting period. No Marth, no Sheeda, what could be better..

Chapter five finished!
I know this isn't my longest chapter but I'm really sorry. xX I've just been so busy with everything going on. I JUST got back home yesterday night and obviously didn't post anything for a while. Sorry.
Anyways, the next chapter will probably be something to do with Fox and Falco and why they always...act how they act. Not to mention Sheeda and a couple of other incidents.
Elincia you say? I had no idea Ike swore to protect anyone. oo But yes! Definatly, I'll do my part and research the girl a little. It would make the story more interesting either by actually introducing her to the story or making Ike mention her a couple of times. Thank you.
Well people, tell me what you think!
