Welcome y'all this is the sequel to this Blue Eyed Wonder so if you haven't read it, I highly suggest you read it to understand some of the future events. As usual I'd like to say that I own nothing, only the plot. This chapter is going to be kinda short but I promise they'll get longer as you read. It's just a little introduction. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy. :)
Chapter 1
It was around a week and half since Ike's proposal to me. As it turns out Peach already knew as well as many others in the smash mansion. Peach even started planning the wedding. She went on and on. I felt as if there was no stopping it. Actually right now I was listening to her babble on about the wedding and the decorations and the date...
"Zelda! Are you listening to me?" She griped. I sighed and nodded my head.
"Of course Peach." She then smiled and continued babbling on about the plans. I didn't listen at all to what she was saying and continued daydreaming. I sighed again remembering I had a match today. I didn't feel up for it though. I really didn't feel up for anything at all. As soon as Marth walked in the door however, Peach immediately rushed to him. Her constant chattering made my headache worse. I stood slowly massaging my temples and received a concerned glance from Marth.
"Something wrong Zelda?" Marth asked. I gave him a fake smile and nodded my head.
"Yes, I just have a small headache that's all." I replied weakly. "I think I'm going to go take a nap."
"Alright, I hope you feel better." He replied as Peach dragged him off. I made my way up to my room and shut the door behind me softly. As I laid down on my bed I took a deep breath and enjoyed the silence of the room. A little while later, Ike walked in the room and quietly shut the door fearing that even that would hurt my head. He approached me with a worried expression and sat down on the bed beside me stroking my hair.
"Hey love, how are you feeling?" He asked in a soft voice. I turned my head to look at him with a small smile.
"Oh, I'm alright." I grinned sheepishly. He however didn't smile and continued to stroke my hair.
"I don't think I believe you this time." He sighed. I grimaced and rolled over onto my side. "What's wrong?"
"I just have a bad headache that's all." I muttered. I could sense him nodding his head.
"Well if that's the case then you rest." He leaned down and kissed my neck tenderly before pulling away and walking over to the door. I did as he said and closed my eyes letting the urge of sleep take over me.
When I woke up, I looked at a small note left on the bed. I picked it up and read it slowly.
'Hey Zelda, I took your place in the match this afternoon since you didn't feel good. Hopefully when you wake up the match will already be over with. Love Ike.'
I smiled softly and stood up feeling much better than I had went to sleep. Glancing up at the clock, it was already 5. Had I really slept 3 hours? I made my way over to the door and walked downstairs finding Link in the living room conversing with Pit. When they spotted me wide grins stretched across both of their faces.
"Hey Zels, feeling better?" Link asked coming to hug me. I nodded my head in reply.
"Yes actually, have you seen Ike?" Before he replied, I was hugged from behind by my new fiancé which I could smile at the words.
"Hey love, looking for me?" He asked with a small grin. I nodded my head again and kissed him gently on the cheek.
"So how did the match go?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders.
"Well I won." He stated calmly. I giggled.
"Don't you always?" Again he shrugged his shoulders. I sighed and shook my head. "Come on, let's get something to eat, I'm starving."
"Alright, alright." Ike laughed as I drug him off with Link and Pit behind us. It seemed others as well had the same ideas as me. Ike and I sat quietly eating and when we were finished we cleaned up and headed off to the garden. During our walk through the garden I started to explain to Ike what Peach had in mind for our wedding. He listened and small smiles were visible at the corners of his lips. When I was through he merely shook his head.
"We ought to leave everything to her if that's the case." He grumbled. "I can't wait to try on all those suits." I sighed with a smile but it faded as I stopped to sit down on the bench feeling sickly again. Ike sat beside me and grabbed my hand, his expression was full of concern.
"Ike, I don't feel well." I muttered laying my head against his shoulder. He kissed my forehead lightly and stood.
"Come on Zelda, let's go get you checked out." He went to pick me up but I stopped him.
"Ike, I'm fine, it comes and then it goes. I'll be fine in a bit." I tried to avoid a trip to the infirmary, but it seemed I failed as Ike grabbed me and carried me back into the mansion. As I had told him, the sickness faded and I felt fine. The only that stopped him was Peach, who hurried to us holding a little white envelope. His eyebrows furrowed and he put me down as Peach held it out to him.
"This came in a few minutes ago. It's addressed to General Ike of Crimea." She stated with a grimace. I noticed a royal Crimean seal which caused my eyebrows to furrow as well. Ike opened the letter and read over it. When he was finished, he lowered the letter and looked at me with a distressed expression. I knew then that it couldn't be anything good.
