Chapter 14

Link

I couldn't help but smile as Fox and I checked ourselves in the mirror in my room. Both of us stood in a regular black tux. However, Fox was wearing a pair of black sunglasses. They seemed very old, despite their impeccable condition. Earlier I asked why he was wearing them. He told me they belonged to his father.

"So Fox, how're you and Zelda coming along?" I asked. Fox gave a slight, almost unnoticeable smile.

"Very well," he said shortly. After adjusting his bowtie, he turned to me. "Ready to go?" I nodded. Both of us exited the door, each of us carrying a bouquet of roses. Mine were orange, while Fox's were the shade of silver you'd see when you look up at the moon.

After only a couple of minutes, we were in the Smash Mansion's ballroom.

Falco

Usually, when people think of the poster boy of nervousness, they'd think of people like Slippy. But for once, I'd think of I would of replace my amphibian friend. It was the Smash Ball, and I didn't want to be the only without the date.

Okay, that wasn't the main why I was nervous. Earlier, during the time of the tournament, I asked Katt Munroe to come.

Katt was a pink furred feline who was a mercenary like me. While she wasn't officially part of the StarFox team, she would everything she could to give us her help when it was need. During those times, we developed a liking for each other. Of course, we would of had a relationship already...if it wasn't for me. Being the person I am, I acted like a tough guy who doesn't care much for anyone else, even though I helped save the whole Lylat System. I acted like I didn't need anyone, even though I'm part of a team of mercenaries. Sort of stupid, huh?

"Feeling okay?" I heard someone ask. I turned to see Katt. She was wearing a pink sparkling gown. I smiled and hugged her.

"I'm glad you made it," I whispered into her ear.

"That's a first," she said into my ear. "You actually greeted me without being sarcastic." I than felt her arms around my neck. "But I'm glad you invited me." I than broke the embrace. I had something to say, and I wasn't going to wait another year , month, day, hour, minute, or even a second to say it.

"Katt, I have something to tell you," I said slowly. She tilted her head. "Um...Katt...see...ever since I met you, I had...feelings for you. And... what I am trying to say is..." Katt placed a finger on my mouth.

"I know," she whispered. She than kissed me. I was surprised at first, but I loved every second of it.

"I see we're not the only lucky ones," I heard someone say. I reluctantly broke this kiss to see Fox McCloud and Link smiling. Both Katt and I smiled at each other. Katt than looked at Link.

"You must be Link," she said. Link nodded slowly.

"And you must be Katt. Fox and Falco told me so much about you." Katt smiled, than turned back to Fox.

"So, Fox, who's the lucky lady?"

Fox

"That would be me." That was all I heard before Zelda appeared on my right. Katt smiled. Zelda was wearing a silver gown.

"So, you must be Princess Zelda," she said. Zelda smiled back.

"Yes. But please don't call me 'Princess.' It gets annoying." Katt smiled.

"Okay. I'm Katt Munroe." The two shook hands. Falco and I smiled.

"You guys forgot about me already?" I looked behind to see Samus. She was in black gown as well.

"Samus, long time no see!" Katt exclaimed. Samus smiled as Katt hugged her.

"Samus, you know Katt?" Falco said.

"Yeah, we went on a couple mercenaries in the past."

After a few minutes of more conversation, we broke out with our dates. The music was the kind you slow dance to. As Zelda and I danced, we were having our own little conversation.

"Hey, Zelda, thanks for...you know..." I whispered.

"You're most welcome, Fox," she said. Zelda than rested her head on top of my shoulder. "Fox, may I ask you something?" I nodded as I led her on the dance floor. "How would you react...if I told you....I love you?"

My ears perked up as I tilted my head downward towards her. Tears of happiness welled up in my eyes. After a minute, I answered.

"I love you two." We both kissed each other. She than wiped away my tears.

Samus

It was awkward, dancing with Link. I never danced before, and it seemed Link wasn't any better at it than I was.

But as I danced, I thought about the last four weeks. It was rather ironic. We both used to hate each other with a passion. And now, that's how much we like each other. I than looked at Link and smiled.

"What are the odds?" I said.

"Huh?"

"I mean about us being together, you know?" He laughed a little bit.

"Yeah," Link replied. "But I'm glad we got to know each other." We kissed each other, lightly at first. Than it became more passionate by second. We finally broke the kiss and chuckled a bit.

"So, you want to get out of here?" I asked. Link thought about it for a minute, than nodded.

Link

I was a little confused as Samus led me off through the mansion. What did she have in mind?

After a while, we stopped in front of her room. As we both walked in, I became somewhat nervous. Samus took a seat on the bed and she than signaled for me to do the same. As I sat down, she smiled at me saucily.

"Link, do me a favor, close you eyes until I tell you to open them, okay?" I raised an eyebrow, than closed my eyes. "So how did you like tonight?"

"With you, it was incredible," I answered. Okay, maybe I was just exaggerating a bit. But it feels as if whenever I'm near Samus, a bad day could turn into the best day of my life.

"That's good to hear," Samus said, her voice now in front of me. With my ears, I picked up the very faint sound of something soft and light hitting the floor. "Link, I need to ask you something." I nodded, my eyes still closed.

"Shoot."

"Link, how deep are your feelings?"

Her voice came from behind me. It caused a shiver up my spine.

At first, I didn't understand. I mean, I was hers. It seemed as if she was asking me if I liked her. Than it hit me. She knew that I liked her. But she was asking me if I loved her. I thought about it for a bit. After all, you just couldn't give an answer off the bat. I smiled slightly. It would be ludicrous to say I didn't lover her. She fought Ganondorf and Bowser by herself, not for only herself, but for me. She showed her face to me. She did all that for me, and I would of done the same for her.

"As deep as the Pacific." Even though my eyes were closed, I could feel her smiling at me.

"Open your eyes," Samus said.

I opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was the dress and underwear on the floor.

The End.
