"Where?" Lizzy asked, glancing in all sorts of directions.
"He's over there by Mario!" Summer replied. Lizzy peered to where the Italian plumber with the red hat was at, and her hylian friend talking to him. Excited, she jumped off the tree without noticing the fall. On the bottom of the tree, there were roots that is covered by moss, making it impossible to see them. When Lizzy landed, she twisted her foot on one of the roots and fell on her stomach. She led out a yelp but covered her mouth in case somebody heard. Summer quickly climbed down the tree and said,
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Lizzy lied. "I'll be fine, but I twisted my ankle. Could you go get Link for me?"
"Sure thing!" Summer ran a couple of feet before finding the hylian swordsman. Then she made a mad dash towards him and cried, "Link, we need help!"
"Oh hey, Summer," Link replied with a smile. "Something wrong?"
"Jarod needs help! He might have a heatstroke."
"What!? Can he die from that?"
"It's possible," Mario replied. "But you never a'know."
"Where is he?"
"He's inside the cafe. Hurry!" Summer led Link to the mansion until they noticed Lizzy trying to get up. "I brought help!"
"That's good," Lizzy replied. "You both should get inside."
"Not without you, dude!"
"Did you trip or something?" Link asked while getting Lizzy up to her feet.
"No. She fell off a tree and landed on roots."
"Ouch. Can you walk?"
"Not really," Lizzy said, gritting her teeth. "This is my first ankle injury."
"Well it looks like I'm gonna have to carry you," Link concluded. "Get on my back." Summer helped Lizzy get on, despite the fact that his sword was strapped to his back. "Sorry if you get a little uncomfortable. Just hang on tight to my neck, okay?" Lizzy obeyed and wrapped her arms around Link's neck.
"Let's go guys!" Summer proclaimed. She and Link, with Lizzy on his back to the mansion and to the cafe, where the others kept Jarod cool. "How is he?"
"He's doing better," Bryan explained. "I'm glad the brawler's didn't get too worried."
"I'm a little worried," Link pointed out.
"Maybe you should put Lizzy down on a chair," Summer suggested.
"Oh yeah. I almost forgot."
"How can you forget something like that?" Jewel asked as Link dropped on a nearby chair.
"I carry a lot of weight all the time," Link explained. "I'm...I'm used to it."
"That can't be the reason why you have a lot of muscle," Lizzy teased.
"Right. 'Cause I just got it from carrying you." Lizzy chuckled and went back to checking on her injury. It wasn't that bad, her foot only twisted a little more than it should have. She can easily fix that with her healing magic. But besides that, she was okay. "Is there a reason why I'm here?" Link asked.
"Oh right!" Lizzy exclaimed. "Do you have your red tunic?"
"Yeah! I always bring it."
"Can we have it?"
"...It's in my pocket..."
Lizzy exploded. "Why. Would. It. BE. IN. YOUR. POCKET!?"
"That's where I put everything," Link explained.
"Well hurry up and get it, then!"
"Okay, okay." Link grabbed his small pouches attached to his side and began to look inside them. "Let's see here...nope, nope...how did a bowl get in here!?"
"Is that mine?" Bryan asked.
"I don't think so. Anyway, nope, nope. Oh look, an apple!"
"Why is there an apple in your pocket?" Summer questioned Link.
"In case I get hungry."
"Um, when was the last time you washed your tunic?" Lizzy puzzled.
"Yesterday. Why?"
"Ew, washer apple!" Summer yelled sarcastically.
"Summer, you know as well as I do that I don't use a washer!" Link cried.
"Interesting..." Jewel joked.
"Okay, we'll get your tunic," Lizzy prodded. Link thought for a moment, and then began to take off his green tunic.
"Whoa! Hold up there! What are you doing?" Summer demanded.
"I'm wearing it to keep me cool," Link remembered.
"Oh, okay," Jewel replied. Link continued to remove the tunic, although it was somewhat difficult with another tunic underneath.
"Jewel, close your eyes," Summer demanded.
"Why aren't you closing your eyes, Lizzy?" Keiza asked.
"I've lived with this guy in the same city and apartment for 367 days," Lizzy said. "I think I'm okay." Link removed his green and red tunic and gave the red to Lizzy. She then turned around and gave it to her brother, who wrapped it around himself.
"Now that we have the tunic on Jarod," Summer began, " it's time to ask the question of why Link wore three layers of clothing.
"I just came back from a cold place," Link confessed. "That's when I usually wear three layers."
"Do you think Jarod will recover?" James asked.
"I'm sure it will," Bryan assured. "Otherwise Link wouldn't have given it to us."
"I guess."
"It might take him a couple of hours before he can recover to his usual self," Link estimated. "So I think you should put him in his room."
"Oh, I forgot to mention," Summer remembered. "Guess who's your roommate?"
"...oh no." Jarod, who is making a miraculous recovery, raised his hand and chuckled loudly. In seconds, Link ran from the room to the staircase. Jarod ran after him, leaving the red tunic with the rest of his confused friends.
"What just happened?" Bryan asked the entire group.
"I have no clue," Keiza responded.
"Me neither," Jewel agreed.
"Maybe I shouldn't have told him about that," Summer said with a sigh.
"Don't worry," Lizzy smiled. "I bet he'll be fine because I'm his neighbor."
"But that's even worse!"
"No it's not."
"You guys are lucky," James protested. "I'm bunked with Ike and Marth."
"Well, I'm with Samus and Zelda," Keiza remarked.
"I have Yoshi," Bryan said.
"Peach and Rosalina are with me," Jewel announced.
"Rosalina joined the fight!?"
"Yeah! I think there's more coming too!"
"Oh dear," Summer moaned. "Anyway, I'm with Sheik."
"And I'm not sure who's with me yet," Lizzy admitted. "Master Hand never told me yet."
"Well, this tournament should be fun for everyone," Bryan said confidently.
"Let's all hope and pray this doesn't turn out to be weird," Jewel hoped.
"Yeah," everyone agreed.
