Chapter 7

Early the next morning, before Escargoon woke up, the knights ran through the castle to meet the girls, unaware of Tiff and Tuff following them. They ran across the draw bridge to the patiently waiting girls. They immediately stopped their conversation among themselves to greet the knights.

"Good morning," Zelda said.

"Hey guys!" Ilia exclaimed.

"'Sup," Seria said.

The guys all nodded their heads in greeting. Zelda pointed to the road they would be taking on their trip to the life jewel. Everyone nodded and began walking on the road. It was official, their trip had begun. Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby followed close behind them but not too close so that they wouldn't see them. They all walked into a dense forest that was nearby and headed towards the life jewel, which was a long way away. They all walked in silence for several hours before Sword couldn't take it and decided to start a conversation. With Seria, of course.

"So Seria?" he began.

She looked back to him, "yes?"

"How does Zelda know where she's going? Not that I doubt her, it's just you all have never been to Popstar."

"Oh, 'cause that's one of her powers that doesn't attract attention to us. She could go anywhere on any planet even if she hasn't ever been there. Without a map."

"What's yours?"

"That's easy! To make people automatically smile with my cheerfulness! Without even trying!"

"And Ilia's?"

"Oh, she can read any book without even opening or looking at it."

"Ah. Cool."

"Yeah."

They looked around trying to think of more things to say. He looked back at her through his helmet. She looked back and smiled at him so he could see it under her hood. His heart started to beat extremely fast. It felt like his heart was hitting his armor. He gulped and looked away. Her teeth leaving a sparkling mark in his mind.

'What's going on with me? I've never felt this way before!' he screamed in his head.

Her smile fell when he looked away. She sighed silently to herself. Zelda heard this and stopped in her tracks.

"You guys go ahead. Seria and I will catch up as soon as I'm done speaking with her," she said calmly.

Seria gulped. Sword looked to her and cocked his head in confusion. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up to show she was okay. However, her arm was sweating like crazy. He walked away with the others while keeping his covered eyes towards Seria. Once he was with the others and looking back to them she let her head drop.

'I wish he would have stayed with me,' she thought.

Zelda walked up behind her and watched her watch Sword leave. She smiled to herself softly but also felt fear and pity for her sister. She cleared her throat and Seria turned to her quickly.

"You know what will happen if dad shows up," she started.

Seria's head dropped again, "I know. But I can't help it. He's just so cute and sweet."

Zelda chuckled lightly. She knew her little sister hadn't loved someone in a long time. In fact, they all hadn't.

"I understand Seria and I won't stop you from loving or liking who you wish. Walk with me," she began walking with Seria right beside her, "it's just, I don't want you to be too upset if dad shows up and… you know."

"I'll probably be upset but I'll be okay. Eventually."

"Good. Now let us get back to the others."

They took off into a sprint and caught up with the rest of the gang. Zelda went back in front to lead everyone in the right direction. Seria began to walk beside Sword again. Sword looked at her with hope that she was alright. She looked to him when she felt his eyes on her.

"What is it Sword? Is something wrong? Did something happen?" she asked very frantic.

"No, of course not but more importantly are you alright?" he asked.

"Fine."

He sighed in relief, "Good."

"Were you concerned of my health and well being?"

"Well…uh… y-yeah… I w-was," he stammered in an embarrassed fashion.

"Aw! That's so nice of you! Thank you for being so concerned."

"Heh… heh"

He scratched the back of his head in attempt to hide his embarrassment. Her smile fell as she noticed that he was doing that a lot.

"Are you alright Sword? You've been doing that a lot," she said.

His eyes widened at this question.

'What do I do? What do I say?' he questioned in his mind.

"Uh… Yeah, my head just hurts a little. No big deal."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

She had a sad tone to her voice.

"It's not your fault Seria. It's just a headache."

"I'm still sorry though."

Ilia and Blade watched the whole thing. Ilia made gagging noises towards the end. Blade turned to her.

"Ugh! I think I'm gonna be sick!" she exclaimed.

Blade chuckled loudly, "Yeah, I wonder what there wedding is gonna be like."

They laughed loudly at their statements. Zelda turned back to them while still walking.

"Stop it you two!" she yelled at them.

Ilia and Blade immediately shut their mouths and continued to walk, while snickering under their breaths.

"Wedding. Good one," Ilia whispered while snickering.

"Thanks."

They continued to walk beside each other and whisper about Seria and Sword.

Zelda looked back to see them chuckling again. She sighed once again for the fourth time that day. Metaknight walked up beside her. She glanced at him and let her eyes sparkle in reassurance.

"Family trouble?" he asked.

She let her head hang as Seria's did awhile ago, "you could say that. Or you could say that they are driving me to a level of insanity."

He looked over to her. He then realized that she was one of the only ones that he didn't have to look up to speak to her. In fact, they were about eye to eye. He reached over and patted her on the shoulder. She looked over to let him see her now visible eyes. They were a midnight blue that appeared to have stars trapped in them. However, they were filled with sorrow and annoyance.

"Do not fret Zelda. It will get better."

She smiled, filling her eyes with hope. They seemed to sparkle even more now that she was happy.

"Yes, I guess you are correct. Thank you for those kind and helpful words."

Metaknight's eyes flashed a blue (proud) for being so strong in something so difficult in her life.

They all continued to walk and speak with each other. Well, Zelda and Metaknight just exchanged a few words and sentences. Little did they know, there first challenge was just up ahead.

Little fluff to it. Just the way I wanted it to turn out. By the way if you guys post a question, I'll most likely answer it as soon as possible on the review page.
