As soon as we returned to our dorm Peach sat down on her bed and began making a list of things she wanted to do before the week was up. For some reason she didn't want to show me though...it makes me wonder...what did she actually write.
"Hey Zelda...do you think you could do me a favor..." Peach asked looking hopefully.
"Um...yea sure...why not..." I replied shrugging.
"Yay...thank you. Do you mind getting my friend Daisy for me...she lives, and rules, Sarasaland..."
"Um...is it really far from here..."
"Yea...it's a desert..."
"...how would I get her if it's really far from here..."
"Couldn't you teleport there and get her?"
"Well...yea...but I have no idea how she looks..."
"Oh that's fine...I have a picture of us on vacation..." she said as she turned around and went under her bed to pull out her suitcase.
After about five minutes of rummaging through her things she finally turned back to my holding up a picture of her with a girl at the beach.
"This is Daisy" she said pointing to the girl in the orange bathing suit. "So do you think that you could get her for me?"
"Um...where does she live again..."
"Sarasaland. I'll even give you a map..."
"Ok."
She grabs a map and circles a spot in a red marker the she hands over the map excitedly before adding "she lives here...in Sarasa Castle...she might not actually listen to at first but just tell her that I sent you and she'll listen."
"Ok I'll be back soon...hopefully it doesn't take so long" I replied teleporting away.
I knew that I had gotten to my destination because the of the vast desert that stretched on around me. As I squinted into the distance I could see the faint outline of a castle...that's probably where I'm supposed to go.
I started walking through the sand (which I'd have to say is really hard to do in heels) towards the silhouetted castle in the distance, occasionally shifting my gaze to avoid the sun and the occasional breeze that picked up sand.
About halfway to the castle I realized walking would take way too long and just decided to teleport the rest of the way there.
The entrance to the castle was very similar to mine in many ways...it was almost as heavily guarded as mine but instead of one guard at the gate like there was at mine there were two here.
As I approached the gate one of the guards looked at me a little confused.
"Excuse me miss...er...your highness...what can we do for you today..." one of the guards asked as I drew nearer to the gate.
"Oh...I would like to speak to Princess Daisy...I've come to invite her to stay at Smash High for a while. I was sent by Princess Peach" I replied with more confidence than I actually had.
They spoke quietly among themselves for a moment before one of them simply turned to me and said "follow me".
The castle is way bigger than is looks. I tried to stay focused while following the guard but it's just so pretty and well decorated. When we finally find the princess she is playing a very competitive game of basketball against one of her guards and doesn't take too kindly to us interrupting it.
"What..." she asked the unsuspecting guard a little rudely. "Can't you tell I'm in the middle of something...I'm not in the mood for losing today."
"Um...your highness we have a visitor today" he replied gesturing at me.
"What is it this time..." she asked looking at me. "Did you also come here to challenge me to some sport like all the others, because if you did...don't cry when you lose..."
Woah, she's a little...hotheaded...and cocky...
"No I actually didn't come here to challenge you to anything..." I began but was suddenly interrupted.
"Oh then what did you come here for..." she asked a little suspiciously.
"As I was saying...I was sent by Peach to invite you to stay at Smash High with us for a while..." I continued.
"And you expect me to believe that...just like that..." she said snapping her fingers on emphasis.
"Um...well I don't know...maybe..." I replied, a little flustered at her last remark.
"Well then sadly for you I'm not gonna believe it...sorry..." she shot back a little rudely.
Heh, if it's a battle you want then it's a battle you'll get princess...
"Well I guess that means I'm just gonna have to show you" I replied just as snotty, grabbing her hand and teleporting back to my dorm.
"Ugh...where are we...take me back to my castle...I was in the middle of a game...this won't go unpunished" Daisy said glaring at me.
"DAISY" Peach said excitedly. "Zellie see I knew you'd find her!"
"Peach" Daisy asked, turning around quickly and embracing her friend. "I haven't seen you in sooo long."
"Ahem" I began, trying to get their attention. "I think someone owes me an apology."
"Oh...right...um...sorry..." she began.
"Zelda" I said.
"Sorry Zelda" she continued.
"Apology accepted" I said, becoming quickly confused. "Sooo...where is Daisy going to stay Peach?"
"Oh...about that...I was wondering if...she could stay...here. A lot of people left so I'm pretty sure that there are tons of people without roommates..." she said looking unaware of what my response would be.
"Oh...yea...I guess she could stay here but...I don't really know anyone that would let me stay with them..." I replied, still confused.
"Well you know Link right...he doesn't have a roommate...I'm sure he'd be nice enough to let you stay with him..." she said kinda smirking a little.
What's so funny...
"L-Link doesn't have a roommate" I asked blushing a little.
"Yea..." she said. "You should totally ask him...then you guys could hang out more..."
"Um...yea...sure...I guess asking couldn't hurt...could it..." I kinda said and asked at the same time.
"Yea...so goooooo...so you can tell me about it when you get back..." Peach said a little too excitedly, pushing me towards the door.
I wonder what's her problem...
Anyways as I walk out the door and slowly close it behind me I can hear Peach squeal a little. I walk down the hallway as slow as I could, thinking about all possible outcomes for my situation. I barely even noticed when I approached the door to his dorm...
Ok Zelda...you got this...it's just one simple question...what's the worst that could happen...
I raised my hand and knocked on the door hesitantly three times in a row, the way I used to knock on my fathers door back at the castle, waiting a bit for a reply.
Just as I was about to turn back I heard Link's voice from the other side of the door.
"Ike, I told you before...dude you don't have to knock..."
I took one last deep breath and let it out before hesitantly reaching for the door handle...whew, here we go...hopefully this doesn't go bad...
