Chapter Four: Peach's Jealousy

The sound of a fountain echoes through the empty park. Ike startles awake. *where am I?* he thinks. He feels a cool touch on his hand and looks down. *I fell asleep with Zelda?!* His eyes widen. Next to him, he could hear the light breath of Zelda. Everything was peaceful and no one was in the park but he didn't notice a figure in a dress hiding in the shadows of a tree. The figure walks towards them and sees Ike rest his head on Zelda's. The figure steps over a short stone lining around the park but trips. Ike hears the sound and looks in the figures direction.

"Peach?!" he whispers. She walks furiously toward him and puts her hand on her hips.

"What are you doing?!" She says.

"Shh. You're going to wake Zelda." He puts his finger to his lips. Peach glares at him and walks away. Zelda shifts next to Ike and yawns. He glances down at her. "Oh, did we wake you, Zelda? I'm sorry."

She lifts her head and looks at him. Her eyes shine as the sun rises.

"No, I was already awake when Peach came." She says.

"Oh…" Ike blushes.

Zelda smiles and stands.

"It's such a beautiful morning." she walks towards the fountain. Ike stands as well and walks behind her. Together they watch the sunrise.

Meanwhile, Peach is running through DelfinoPlaza telling everyone she can find that Ike and Zelda slept in the park.

"It's true! Zelda spent the whole night with Ike!" Peach tells the mushroom from the formal wear shop. The mushroom smirks and crosses its arms.

"Well, well, well. Looks like someone's stealing your man Peach."

Peach pouts and paces the store, grabbing every pink dress she finds and brining it to the counter.

"IT'S NOT FAIR!" she tosses another dress on the counter, now piled high with clothes. She hears muffles and turns. "Mr. Koop?" she looks around the store. More muffles are heard. She digs through the pile of clothes and finds the mushroom at the bottom. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Koop." Peach blushes.

The mushroom gives her the -_- face and jumps off the counter.

"You'll be paying for all this, right?" he jumps back to his seat behind the counter. Peach nods and waves her hand over the counter; making two hundred gold coins appear. The mushroom nods and stacks the coins. He gives Peach three giant bags and scurries off. Peach frowns at the fact she has to pack the dresses herself but does it anyways and leaves the shop.

"Hey Peach I heard the news. Just in case you change your mind, I'm always free." Mario tips his hat at her. She smiles at him but growls as soon as she walks away.

"YO PEACH!" she feels a hand slam on her shoulder. She turns around glaring at whoever it was.

"Samus?" she says, surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Samus Aran smiles.

"I had a day off today and right when I got here, I heard people talking about Ike and Zelda." She pats Peach on the back. Peach rolls her eyes and walks away. "Hey hey wait a minute. Is there anything I could do?"

Peach turns to her.

"I HATE ZELDA!"

"What was that?" Zelda looks around.

"It sounded like a scream." Ike replies. They walk past the café. "We haven't had breakfast now that I think of it."

"Shouldn't we see what that scream was?" Zelda asks. Ike turns to the sound again.

"I guess we should." They walk past the formal wear shop and see a small crowd surrounding a bench.

"LOOK THERE THEY ARE!" someone points to Zelda and Ike. They look at each other and start walking away but the person runs towards them followed by half the crowd.

"You should say sorry to Princess Peach!" a little mushroom says. Its mother nods in agreement. Zelda knits her eyebrows.

"What have I done to her?" she asks. All of them gasp and glare at her. The crowd parts and shows Peach sitting on the bench, crying. Samus sits next to her, patting her back when she notices Zelda and Ike. She stands and walks towards Zelda.

"Long time no see." She says casually. Zelda nods her head.

"Zero I don't think Zel—" Ike starts.

"Ahem not your time to talk mister." Samus waves her hand at him. He frowns and hangs his head.

"I still don't know what I did." Zelda says. Samus rolls her eyes.

"Everyone knows that Peach likes Ike and you just had to be at the park with him!" she explains.

Zelda gives a confused expression.

"I didn't know she liked him."

Everyone glares at her.

"Lets have a battle and whoever wins can have Ike!" Samus shouts to the crowd. They nod and cheer. Peach stands uneasily and shakes her head, frustrated.

"It's ok Peach, you can do this." Samus turns to her and smiles.

"Psst." Ike whispers to Zelda.

She looks at him.

"What is it?"

"We should leave quickly."

She nods and grabs his arm. She quickly teleports them both away from the, now raging, crowd.
