Author's note: Btw I don't know shit about trials or how court goes

The guards let Link out of the cell. They walked him over to the courtroom. Today was the day that he will be put on trial for trying to murder Zelda. News spread fast and most of the roster joined the event to watch. Everyone was shocked that Link tried to kill his girlfriend. Link could hear them whispering behind his back as he sat on his seat next to his lawyer who was Kazuya. Apparently the plant graduated from college and got his master's degree.

The judge slammed his gavel on his desk. The trial has begun. The judge did his speech and everyone agreed to say nothing but the truth. They all did their beginning statements or some shit and Link was summoned to the stand. He stated his name and everything. Now it was time to get to the juicy part.

Kazuya: "Where were you at the time of x:xx?"

Link: "I was in my room."

Kazuya: "Was Zelda already present?"

Link: "No."
Kazuya: "What were you doing before Zelda's arrival?"

Link: "Crying."

Kazuya: "May I ask why?"
Link: "It's not relevant to the event."
Kazuya: "Very well. Can you tell me when Zelda came over?"

Link: "10 minutes after I came back to my room."

Kazuya: "What were you doing before you were in your room?"

Link: "I visited a friend."
Kazuya: "Who was this friend?"
Link: "I refuse to say."

Kazuya: "Does Zelda know this person?"

Link: "Yes."

Kazuya: "Interesting. Ok, so when Zelda came over, what did you guys talk about?"

Link: "I was crying when she arrived. She asked me what was wrong."
Kazuya: "Did an argument take place?"

Link: "Yes. She assumed that I was cheating on her. I denied her claim and she threatened her life."

Kazuya: "Is that when she 'stabbed herself' with your sword?"

Link: "I went off on her. I couldn't take it anymore. She's been forcing me to stay with her. I tried breaking up with her, but she ended up threatening her life."

Kazuya: "So she threatened her life so she could keep you?"

Link: "Yes."

Kazuya: "Alright thank you. You can go sit back down."

Link did as he was told. He sat down feeling pretty good. He's told nothing but the truth. He has nothing to hide unlike Zelda who is obviously faking her amnesia trick. The prosecutor called Zelda to the stand. She stated her name and occupation.

Kazuya: "Where were you before you decided to go to Link's place?"

Zelda: "I was in my room. I felt lonely, so I went to my boyfriend's place."

Kazuya: "What were you doing in your room?"
Zelda: "I don't remember."

Kazuya: "What do you remember about the event?"

Zelda: "I remember feeling lonely. I went to Link's place and… He was angry I think. That's all I remember. Everything else is a blur."
Kazuya: "Do you remember Link stabbing you?"
Zelda: "No."

Kazuya: "Do you think you lost your memories due to the trauma?"
Zelda: "Yes. I do believe that Link stabbed me. I would never harm myself and if I were to do it, I would use my own magic."
Kazuya:"Thank you, you can go sit down."

It was the prosecutor's turn to take over. It was none other than Bowser. He called Link to the stand.

Bowser: "Link, you claim that Zelda was the one that harmed herself?"

Link: "Yes."

Bowser: "Please bring the weapon to the stand."

The weapon was brought to the stand.

Bowser: "Ladies and gentleman of the jury, please witness the weapon that impaled Zelda. As you can see, it is Link's sword. Link, please tell the jury as to why Zelda stabbed herself with your sword?"

Link: "She's crazy! She waltzed in my closet and stabbed herself."
Bowser: "Couldn't you have done something to stop her? Why did you let her go through your closet?"

Link: "It all happened too fast. I was angry at the time. I didn't think clearly."

Bowser: "Do you hear that, jury? Link was too emotional to think at that time. Could it have been a moment of passion?"
Link: "What! No! She went into my closet and grabbed my sword. I'm telling you the truth."
Bowser: "Could we really say that Zelda would do that to herself? She said if she was going to harm herself she would use her own magic."

Link: "Yeah well she's lying."
Bowser: "You were angry. You admitted to that. It is more likely that you were the one that went to your closet. She didn't know what you were up to, that's why she did not react fast enough when you stabbed her out of anger."
Link: "NO! SHE'S THE ONE THAT WENT THROUGH MY CLOSET. SHE WAS ALSO ANGRY!"

Bowser: "Please lower your voice. Now please explain to the court as to why my theory is wrong."

Link: "Listen, I know this sounds bad on my part, yes I was angry but that's because I was tired of her threatening me. That's the only reason why I yelled at her. I never went to my closet and grabbed my sword. She was the one that did it. It all happened so fast, I didn't know she was going to do that."

Bowser: "You're the hero of time. Everyone has seen you fight. You have amazing reaction times. It is unlikely that you would let Zelda stab herself with your sword of all weapons. If it was a dagger or a knife it would be more believable, but a long sword? She would have to angle it and by the time she would do so, you would already have stopped her."

Link: "I was emotional. I was thinking properly."

Bowser: "It doesn't make sense, Link."

Link: "I'm telling the truth."

Bowser: "Thank you, please sit back down. I would like to call Zelda to the stand."

Link sat back down. Zelda walked up to the stand. She gave Link a wink as she walked by. That fucking bitch! She's doing this on purpose. She wants him to get factory reset. If he goes back to how he used to think then of course he would stay with her. That's all he's known. Dammit, he's going to forget about Kirby at this rate. He knew she left and he would probably never see her again, but he didn't want to lose his memory of her. He loved her. No, it'll be fine. He needs to believe in Kazuya!

…

Clone Sonic was doing his daily run. It's been a routine now. He runs for four hours straight. He looks for Samus and flirts with her a little and then he sneaks to the library to read. It wasn't too bad. He hated the flirting part, but hey he needs to do it in order to get the girl back.

Sonic was finally done running for the day. He ran around the mansion looking for Samus. He did, but she looked sad. He walked up to her and sat next to her on the stairs.

"Hey, you doin' ok?" Sonic asked.

"No. I think Little Mac is ignoring me again."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"I don't know what to do. I want him back but…"

"Hey, it'll be ok," He patted her back.
"Why are you being so nice to me? I dumped you."

"It's simple, I still love you."

"I.. I don't understand you."
"I don't either, hahaha!"

*Sniffs* "Well, I'm out of options. Little Mac won't talk to me."
"I know it's not much, but do you want to go to a coffee shop and talk about it? I'll pay."

"S-sure."

The two walked to smash bucks. Samus ordered a strawberry latte and Sonic ordered black coffee. He bought it for her and together they sat at a table.

"So uh, why Little Mac?" Sonic asked.

"We used to date, but I broke up with him because he was too boring. I was wrong. He was such a sweet guy to me and treated him like garbage."

"It seems that he's finally moved on, but you haven't. Samus, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to let him go. You also need to move on."

"What about you, huh? You're still chasing me."
"Well.. (She has no idea how much I don't want her) It's true. I do keep chasing you, but at the same time I'm willing to accept that you won't ever love me the same. I honestly just want to be here for you now."

"R-really? Then why do you keep flirting?"

"I'm a guy, what can I say?"
"Hahaha!"

"Haha, yeah anyway I'm gonna nap. I'll let you go."

Sonic stood up. He couldn't wait to go to the library and read. However, Samus grabbed his arm. He turned around to face her.

"Samus?"

"Sonic I… Um, I think you're right."

"I am?"
"I need to let Little Mac go. I think I want you back. Would you be willing?"

Sonic wanted to cry. Yes, it was his plan all along, but he wished that she only wanted to be friends. If only his original didn't have a girlfriend. He wanted to be left alone and to read and write books. He didn't want to get caught up in all this lovey-dovey mess. She's going to start demanding things from him again. When he was dating her, all she wanted to do was be around him and have sex. It was exhausting. Well, he's never had sex with her because he was making excuses at the time. Now that she wants him back, she's going to pressure him into it again. He's going to have no choice. If she breaks up with him again, Mario is going to replace him.

"Y-yeah, I would love to…" Sonic forced a smile.

"Oh Sonic!" Samus grabbed him into a hug and kissed his lips.

"Yeah, I'm so happy right now…"

…

Little Mac wandered around Popstar. It's such a beautiful planet. The sky was beautiful and the luscious green grass was all over. It felt soft as he ran through it. The clouds were swirly. This place is so Kirby! Speaking of Kirby, he needs to go find her. He looked around him and realized that Metaknight and his gang weren't around. Oh no, did they leave him? He ran back to the Halbush or whateva Metaknight called it.

Little Mac was about to open the door, but it opened on its own. Metaknight was right in front of him. He still didn't have his armor, which was cursed as hell, but hey he's here.

"Metaknight! What took you so long, eh?"

"Sorry, Little Mac, the other two didn't want to come. I tried to convince them."

"Oh, well that's ok. Alright, where's Kirby's house?"

"I can show yous."

Little Mac followed Metaknight. They went through wispy woods. They ended up causing genocide and beating up a tree. Then they made their way to Kirby's house finally. It was so cute! It looked like an igloo. Little Mac knocked on the door, but Metaknight decided to slice it in half with his sword.

"Whoa, Metaknight what the hell!" Little Mac's jaws dropped.

"Hiya, Kirby! Wait… where is she?"

"Kirby?"

The two searched her house, but she wasn't there. She might be somewhere else. He could search for her all day, but she'll have to go home eventually. It would be the smart choice to wait here until she shows up.

"Well, I'll go look for her," Metaknight said walking off.

"This planet is too big."

"It's all good, I'll be back in a jiffy."

"Well, ok then, but you better come back when it hits night. You're my ride after all."

"Can doooo~"

Little Mac watched as Metaknight flew off. He wanted to go back to the ship and check on Sword and Blade, but what if he misses Kirby. He imagined her walking back home and dropping anything she was holding as she saw him next to her door waiting for her outside. It sounded romantic. He didn't want to miss his chance, but something felt off when Metaknight said that the other two didn't want to come along. In fact, everything about Metaknight was odd. He's naked for crying out loud! What did Sword and Blade say earlier? He's not the real Metaknight? But he found Popstar finally and he found Kirby's place, so it had to be him. Sure, he's acting strange, but Little Mac didn't know the knight well at all and he sure as hell didn't know anything about his henchmen Sword and Blade. Little Mac decided to ignore his bad feeling about Metaknight.

…

Kirby was not feeling good. She started to feel ill. She started coughing. Villager have been feeding her soup. She didn't trust it, but what choice did she have? She was hungry and he was going to force feed it anyway. At least the soup didn't taste bad. She thought she was going to feel dizzy again and she was ready to throw it up, but it didn't happen.

"How are you feeling, Darling?" Villager asked.

"Better…"
"Let me know if you need anything else."

"Why are you being nice to me?"

"You're my wife. What kind of question is that?"

"You're not hurting me."
"I would never."

"But you always do."

"Darling, I think you should watch your words."

He's starting to get angry again. She could tell by his tone of voice. Hmm, maybe if she played along with this, he'll let her out of the cage at least.

"I'm sorry, Villager you're right. You're always so sweet to me. Thanks for the soup."

"That's what I like to hear. Can I get a kiss for being so nice?"

"S-sure.."

Villager entered the cage and she kissed his cheek. He wanted to do more, but he wanted her to truly fall in love. He didn't want to force it anymore. He knew she didn't like it when he touched her. It made him feel unloved. He wanted this to be genuine.

"Aww can't I get a kiss on the lips?" Villager begged.

"I uh… I don't… Feel comfortable."
"It's fine."

"Really? Y-you're not going to slap me?"

"Not this time. I've been harsh towards you. I apologize. I truly am a nice guy, please believe me."

Kirby still huddled in the corner. She didn't trust Villager one bit. However, he sat next to her and took out a book. He started reading to her. This was new. Maybe he's slowly getting back to normal. There's hope after all. She can change him!

As Villager continued to read, she started feeling sleepy. Oh no, this is not good. If she falls asleep, he could do something terrible to her. She fought to stay awake. He noticed and left the cage.

"Is it bedtime already?" He yawned.

"Y-yeah."

Villager climbed onto his bed and threw his comforter over him. She knew she needed to stay awake no matter what. She had to watch him. It was tough, but she did. She kept thinking about awful things and what he had done to Luigi. This kept her up. When she heard him snoring, that's when she let her guard down. She scanned the room once more to see if there was anything she could do to get out. She noticed that Villager didn't close the cage door all the way. Could this be her chance? She stood up and quietly pushed the door open with her head. She looked at Villager to see him still sleeping.

Kirby made her way to the front door. This time she turned around. Back faced to the door. Her hands were still tied behind her back, but she was able to still use her hands to twist the knob. This is it! She can get out like this.

Wait, the door isn't unlocking. She turned around to see that there was another lock and it was high up. It was so high, there was no way she could reach. She looked around to see if there was a step stool. Maybe in the bathroom. She went inside the bathroom, but no step stool. However, she was able to find a bobby pin. She grabbed it. Unfortunately, she couldn't find anything that could help reach the other lock. If only her hands weren't tied back, she would be able to barely reach it.

She continued to search for other things besides the bobby pin she found, but she didn't hear Villager snoring anymore. Her heart skipped a beat. Is he awake? She walked back to the room and luckily he was still sleeping. She sighed in relief and decided that she should stop for tonight. She has something. It was small and not the best tool to escape, but it was something. She went back to her cage and held the bobby pin tight.
