Three Princesses, One Wish
Last Chapter! Finally! I can't believe it's taken me almost a year to complete this… weird.

Chapter 18
Zelda stood on a cliff looking over the sea where the rainbow coral forest resided. Seria was busy chewing face with Sword and Ilia was just holding Blade, wishing she didn't have to let him go. Zelda sighed, wishing with all her heart that she didn't have to go. She wondered where Meta-knight was. He vanished after they told the news that they had to go back to their home planet to allow Zelda to rule their people. She wished he would show up so he could take him aside. She wanted to tell him how much she loves him and how she truly wished she didn't have to go.
'But he will not show,' she thought, 'He is far too angry with me for leaving.'
She sighed deeply again.
"You don't really have to go do you?" Tiff asked her.
"Unfortunately I do. I gave the girls the chance to stay here but they refused. I do not want to tear them away from who they love, I promise," she said in tears.
"Oh Zelda, don't cry," Tiff said as she hugged the woman in blue.
"F-forgive me," she stuttered around the tears.
The tears cascaded down the woman's cheeks uncontrollably. As soon as the tears hit the ground, beautiful blue roses grew from the ground. Tiff gasped at the sight of them. Zelda just smiled sadly.
"They grow with my sorrow to try and cheer me up," she explained calmly.
She hugged Tiff tightly once more before picking the roses out of the ground.
"Good bye Tiff," Zelda said with a smile.
"Good bye Zelda. I hope it's not forever that we say good bye," Tiff responded.
"Do me a favor and give this to Meta-knight for me when you see him next," she said handing Tiff a piece of paper.
Tiff nodded and took the paper. She walked over to the two women and the two men. Blade and Ilia let go of each other with one last squeeze. Ilia joined Zelda. Seria gave Sword one last small kiss on the lips before also joining her two sisters.
Everyone but Meta-knight waved goodbye to the girls as they left. Sword, whose helmet was still off, was crying and Blade in near tears. Tuff was all out balling with Tiff right behind. Kirby just waved and 'poyo'ed quietly.
Days later, Tiff found Meta-knight in his room. She handed him the note Zelda gave her. He looked at it.
"What is this?" he asked.
"A note from Zelda. Read it if you like," Tiff responded.
He took the letter and Tiff left to go back home. He opened it up and read it.
Meta-knight,
If you are reading this letter then it is probably days after I have left. I wish you would have been there to see us off; it may have made it so much easier for me. I might have been able to tell you how much I love you and how deeply sorry I am that I have to leave.
Meta-knight walked out to the balcony he always patrolled at with tears in his eyes.
I wish I did not have to go. I wanted to spend more time with you. It was just that afternoon before the fight that you confessed to me. I never got to tell you how much you mean to me as well. I wanted to so badly though. It makes my heart ache just thinking about it. Please forgive me. Sometimes I wish I was not a princess destined to rule her people. I hope you will be fine without me. Take care of Sword and Blade, Seria and Ilia would be devastated if anything happened to them. Do take care of the children as well. And especially take care of yourself, my dear knight. I will miss you so.
Sincerely yours with all my love,
Princess Zelda Railona
Meta-knight broke after finishing the letter. Tears fell from his mask as he fell into deep sorrow. He sniffed and opened his eyes to see a blue rose sitting beside him. He picked it up out of curiosity.
"I see you got the letter," a voice said behind him.
He turned to see Zelda standing there smiling with her hood down. He dropped the letter and the rose.
"Zelda…" he breathed.
Her smile widened. He walked up and embraced her strongly.
"I thought I had lost you forever," he mumbled.
"Of course not," she said before pulling away, "now come, we have a ceremony to go to."
"What ceremony?" he asked.
She pushed open the door to the girls' room and saw Sword and Blade there with Seria and Ilia.
"Well… since Mirallans are immortal, we thought we would turn you three into Mirallans, so you could be immortal with us," she explained.
"Once a Mirallan marries they are married for the rest of their immortal life," Seria added.
"Now lie down on the tables," Ilia slightly commanded.
The three men did as they were told and laid on the tables. The girls placed their hands on the men's chests and spoke a few words. After that, black for the three men as they lost consciousness.
When they awoke again the girls were standing over them. Zelda smiled at Meta-knight when his eyes opened.
"So that is what color your eyes are," she said in fascination.
Meta-knight realized he wasn't wearing his mask. He sat up quickly… wait… sat up? He looked down and noticed he was much taller than he was when he lost consciousness. He was also wearing a blue suit. His skin color was a peach color and he had hair as deep blue as Zelda's. He looked up at Zelda curiously when he noticed she was in her real form.
"You are a Mirallan now. So are Sword and Blade. How do you feel?" she asked.
"Different… yet the same," he said in a slightly deeper voice than he was used to.
"That is to be expected," she said as she sat down beside him.
He turned his hands over and observed them, not used to them being a peach color. He looked back at Zelda, hardly paying attention to Sword and Blade as they embraced their women.
"Forgive me for not seeing you off. You were right, it would have been much easier on us both if I came," he apologized.
She placed a hand on top of his.
"Forgive me for making you take a trip down guilt lane," she said with a chuckle.
"No, no, I deserved it," he chuckled with her, Spanish accent still in place.
"I would have missed you," Zelda said seriously and squeezed his hand.
"And I you," he said as he rested his forehead against hers.
She smiled and their lips connected. Their eyes fell closed. And they pulled away after a moment had passed. Zelda opened her eyes after Meta-knight and smiled again.
"But now, I am staying here, never to leave again," she stated.
"But your kingdom…" he began.
"Is taken care of," she finished.
She smiled and he mirrored it. They both then got up and walked out of the room to tell Tiff the news that Zelda and the girls were staying. And staying the hearts of the knights forevermore.
It's done! Hallelujah! Again, there will be a sequel and several one shots, so keep a look out.
