Alrighty guys, who's excited about chapter 6 besides me? Anyway, if you didn't catch the updated summary, I've been thinking about a sequel. A simple yes or no would be fine. Tell me soon please! Enjoy y'all! :)
Chapter 6
I awoke the same as I fell asleep and looked up to meet Ike's sleepy gaze.
"Good morning beautiful." He murmured kissing my forehead tenderly. I merely giggled and reached up for another kiss. Then I remembered where we were. Both of us stood quickly and grabbed our clothes dressing quickly. We slowly made our way back to the mansion and were sure to avoid any eyes of the smashers. As we walked through the halls it seemed no one stirred. Good, no one is awake yet. Ike had kissed me gently on the cheek and headed off to his room. I hurried to mine and shut my door swiftly. I sighed heavily and looked in the mirror. My hair was a mess. I then walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I took a fast one and dried my hair completely fixing myself up for the day. Instead of really fixing myself up though, I pulled out a casual red dress, minus the gloves and accessories, and fixed my hair into my usual hair style. Once I was done, I heard a gentle knock on the door. Rushing awkwardly over to answer, I felt a slight disappointment as Peach stood with a small grin on her face.
"Good morning, Zelda."
"Oh hello Peach, is there something you need?" I asked she nodded her head with a small contented sigh.
"Well in a few hours Marth and I were going to the restaurant and I was wondering, would you and Ike would like to come?" I nodded my head in reply. The pink princess' smiled widened. "That's wonderful!" Then she stopped and looked questioningly at the wall beside her. "You know, we haven't had any girl time in a while."
"Let me guess you're thinking of getting some aren't you?" I sighed heavily as she nodded her head quickly with a giggle.
"Come on, let's go!" She then grabbed my arm and drug me out of my room and down the hall.
"Peach, not so fast!" I grunted feeling the discomfort any woman would feel after her first time. Peach slowed down and cocked her head to the side in question.
"What's your deal?" She asked continuing to slow her pace. I shook my head.
"Nothing, I'm just not fully awake yet." I lied. She shrugged her shoulders and stopped as we had approached Ike.
"Oh, Ike." Peach gasped.
"And where might you two be off to so quickly?" He asked raising an eyebrow. Peach began to giggle as I let out a heavy sigh.
"Well, Peach offered for us to come to lunch with her and Marth and I accepted, but now she's dragging me somewhere for some girl time." I explained with a grimace. Ike merely laughed aloud.
"Oh alright then, don't get too excited now Peach."
"I'll have you know I will get as excited as I want to!" She humphed sticking her nose in the air. Ike shook his head and started off to what seemed like the training hall.
"Alright, see you later Zelda." Ike smiled. As Peach and I resumed walking I gasped and stopped remembering what I had meant to ask Ike before.
"Ike! Wait!" I called. He turned around with raised eyebrows. I hurried over to him leaving Peach standing and waiting.
"Yes princess?" He asked.
"I've meant to ask you," I started. "What did Mist whisper to you yesterday?" My question seemed to catch him off guard. He cleared his throat with a faint blush.
"Well, uh, she told me that she wouldn't mind calling you sister-in-law." He stated with a weak laugh. I covered my mouth with my hands to hide the smile that began to surface.
"That's interesting." I giggled.
"Zelda! Hurry up this is cutting into our girl time!" Peach griped. I sighed heavily and smiled at Ike.
"I should go. I'd hate to keep the queen waiting." I stated sarcastically. Ike chuckled and kiss the top of my head.
"Alright love, I'll be here when you get done." Peach had walked over and took me by the arm dragging me away once again. I sighed longing for when this whole thing would be over. As we had our girl time we both sat in her room gossiping and using beauty products of all sorts. Though the entire time all I though about was last night. I wanted to do it all over again. Peach noticed my change in attitude and repeated dreamy sighs. She questioned once but I shook my head and said it was nothing. I guess I was just ready for going out to eat with Peach and Marth. It seemed like it'd be a pleasant lunch. Hours seemed to pass by as Peach and I relaxed in the garden sipping on tea. I came remember how sickly Link had looked. Peach noticed my concerned expression.
"Zelda?" She started. "Is something the matter?"
"Where's Link at?" I asked standing from the table. Her eyebrows furrowed as she put a finger to her cheek in thought.
"I think Marth said something about him being sick."
"Is it alright if I check on him?" Peach nodded her head slowly.
"We'll see you at the restaurant at 1 then." She stood and gathered up the tea tray. I figured to look in his room first and headed up stairs. Knocking gently on the door I heard Link's voice say come in. Opening the door slowly, I saw Link piled up in his bed looking paler than usual.
"Are you contagious?" I asked slowly approaching him. He shook his head and smiled slightly.
"No, just sick, I feel like crap." He replied with a sigh.
"Where's Midna?"
"Oh I asked her to leave so she couldn't get sick if I was contagious. Now that I'm not though, I wish she hadn't left."
"Who said I left?" Midna's voice came from the door where she stood smiling. Link sunk down in his bed and closed his eyes with a sigh.
"Hard headed as always I see." He muttered. She approached him and sat on the bed beside him, rubbing his cheek.
"Of course, I won't leave you when you are ill." She leaned down to kiss his forehead lightly.
"Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds be. I hope you get better soon Link." I headed towards the door and opened it smiling at Link.
"Thanks Zels." I looked around for the nearest clock and noticed the time. It was nearly 12:45. I had to hurry and get Ike so we could start walking. I made my way to his room and noticed his stuff had been moved and the room was empty as if a guest room. My eyebrows furrowed as I made my way to my room. Sure enough Ike was there and placing his clothes in the dresser I never used. I smiled as he noticed me walk in.
"I figured why not." He chuckled with a shrug of his shoulders. I walked over and hugged him tightly.
"That doesn't bother me at all." I grinned kissing him lightly on the lips. "Come on though, it's almost 1 and Peach is expecting us there." He sighed heavily and allowed me to drag him out of the doors of the mansion. He held out his arm for me to grab almost as if he was escorting me. I smiled pleased by the new thoughts of sharing a room with Ike. Master Hand never really was big about gender separation and the mansion was so big anyway that everyone got their own room. I suppose Master Hand just wanted us to have social lives. We had arrived at the restaurant at 1 on the dot and found Peach waving her hands in the air.
"Zelda! Ike! Over here!" She giggled. Marth merely sat beside her smiling and shaking his head. Ike and I sat down beside each other and across from Marth and Peach. Like any gentleman though, he pulled out my chair, allowed me to sit, and pushed it back in then sitting himself.
"Well, how's Link?" Peach asked to start a conversation.
"Midna never left like he asked, so I'm sure he'll be fine under her care." I sighed heavily and leaned my head on Ike's shoulder. Peach left that conversation behind and turned to Marth blabbing about something. I tuned her out. I think I had a little too much of her today, but I supposed to relax was just what I needed. So I was thankful for that. With Peach I seemed to catch a few words now and then that interested me a little: fireworks, all day outdoor garden party. Ah must be some sort of 4th of July party. Though it would be wonderful to sit and watch the fireworks with Ike.
"Alright! Once we are done eating we have to get back to the mansion. I've got party planning to do." Peach giggled. Everyone else however sighed. Peach was planning this. Sometimes we had to admit she went overboard and it seemed like she was definitely going to this time.
Ah sadly we are nearing the end of the story. But remember there could be more! As soon as I get those answers on the sequel I'll start working on it. :) Chapter 7 coming to you soon!
