AU: From this point on, I'll be visiting every group on the character roster of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with a few others from Melee and N64. These groups will all get their own chapter. However, I feel that I've already done enough with the Mario crew and Rosalina, so they have already been taken care of. I will do more for Yoshi and Wario, though. Thanks for reading, and please follow/fave/review!
It was an era of peace for Hyrule. Ever since Link defeated Ganondorf, there haven't been many threats to the safety of the kingdom. The few dangers that were present, such as the keese flying around at night or the chuchus hopping in Hyrule Field, could easily be taken care of by Princess Zelda's knights. Princess Zelda was just finishing her lunch. It was pumpkin stew, one of her favorite meals. She took the napkin near her bowl and gently patted it against her chin. Zelda got up from her seat, and pushed the chair in. She decided to go visit Link, like she does every day. As soon as Zelda walked of the front door, one of the guards stopped her.
"Princess, there could be monsters out there. We can't risk our princess getting hurt. Please, let me get you an escort." The guard was very much concerned.
"Thank you, but I'm sure I can handle myself. My magic can easily take out the simple-minded animals out there. Now that Ganondorf has been defeated, the kingdom is much calmer. Of course, I don't see why the games insist on bringing him back. At least they will suppress his power and nullify the possibility of the Triforce being brought back. Plus, he'll be dealt with for us after the tournament ends… " Zelda trailed off a bit, but the guard understood, and reluctantly backed away.
Zelda continued walking through Hyrule Field, on her way to Ordon Village. On the way, she did encounter some keese, but she simply burned them away with Din's fire. She finally arrived at the village, but heard a voice.
"HEY!"
Zelda turned around, and saw the postman sprinting towards her from halfway through the field.
Panting, he finally caught up to her. "Princess Zelda! It is an honor! I have a delivery!" He handed Zelda a letter. "It also came with this package." He saluted her, and ran off.
Zelda looked at the letter, and can already tell who it's from by looking at the pink envelope and the seal of a crown. She smiled, sat down on a nearby bench, and read the letter.
My Dearest Zelda,
Congratulations on getting accepted to the tournament! See? I knew you'd get in! I look forward to seeing you there, and perhaps having a good-natured rumble! Oh, I hope we get teamed up for some matches. It would be so fun to fight alongside you against meanies like Bowser and Ganondorf! I hope you like my gift!
Sincerely,
Peach
Princess Zelda was happy to receive the letter, and kept it in her bag that contained the snacks that she was going to give Link. She then opened the gift. It was a white box, with pink ribbon tied around it. She removed the ribbon, and looked inside. She was very excited to see that it was one of Peach's cakes. This one, however, was a bit different in decoration. Instead of the normal pink and white frosting, it was white with the crest of Hyrule, which was made with yellow frosting. There was also some intricately designed frosting swirls around the sides that looked like they must have taken a while to make. She thought that it was very touching that Peach would go through such lengths just to congratulate her on entering a game. She closed the box, and brought it with her so that she can share it with Link.
After the whole Ganondorf incident, Link has been helping out more on the Ordon Ranch. Sometimes he helps the Hyrule knights, but he feels more comfortable in Ordon Village. Of course, he always jumps at the chance to deliver things to the shops in Castle Town, because that gives him a chance to see the princess. Link has been training Zelda on how to use a sword every week, in case she ever somehow loses her magic. Plus, it's always good to be able to know how to use the beam swords that appear on the field effectively.
Link was just finishing herding the goats, as Zelda walked in.
"Hello, Link." She smiled.
"Hi, Zelda. How's the kingdom doing?" The hero smiled back.
"It's doing well." They sat down on a nearby bench. "How have you been doing?"
"Well, I tripped on some goat droppings this morning, but aside from that, Okay, I guess." He smiled.
Zelda laughed. "Only you, Chosen Hero. Anyway, I brought you some snacks."
Link laughed. "Yeah, yeah. So what did you bring this time?" He tried to get a look at the big white box she was holding, along with the bag.
"Oh, okay, don't even thank me." The princess of Hyrule smiled. "Anyway, I brought some goat cheese sticks and some oatmeal cookies."
"Sounds good. What's in the box?" He asked.
"Oh, yeah. Princess Peach sent me a letter and a cake. We can share it, if you'd like." She opened the box and used a knife to cut two pieces to give to herself and Link.
"Well that was nice of her. She seems like a nice person, especially if she would go through the trouble of sending a letter across the world portal to Hyrule. Mario was telling me about her food, and how great it was. I never tried it for myself." He picked up a piece of cake, and took a bite. His eyes lit up and he shoved the whole thing in his mouth, which Zelda must've found quite humorous, as she started laughing immediately.
"This is amazing!" Link wiped the frosting off of his lips.
"Here." Zelda handed Link a bottle of milk to wash it down. "Yeah, Peach is a great cook. It's too bad I can't get someone with her kind of skill to be a chef at the castle."
Link nodded in agreement. He and Zelda sat on the bench while the sun set on Hyrule.
"Well, I better head back to my castle. The guards will freak out if I stay out too late…" Zelda got up.
"Oh…" Link was enjoying the time they were spending together. He got up though, ready to head home. "Well, good night princess." He smiled.
"Good night, hero." She smiled back and started walking. They always have loved making fun of each other's social standing. Link started moving too, although his walking distance would be much shorter since he lived right there in the village.
"And Link…" Zelda stopped and turn to the hero. Link abruptly stopped, and turned to her with a visible blush on his face.
"Sweet dreams." She winked. If only Zelda understood Link's feelings for her, and the torment that the sentence she just said has brought to him. He was hoping for something much more…meaningful. Of course, she was aware that he'd do anything for her. She's usually so caught up in her royal duties, however, that she is oblivious to feelings such as those. He waved her goodbye, and left for his home. He was exhausted from a rather hard day at the ranch, so he just plopped on his bed in hopes of falling asleep.
After Zelda finally arrived to her castle, she took a hot bath. Afterwards, she changed to her white nightgown and took her crown and jewelry off. She gazed out the window, looking at the stars. There weren't many monsters out today. In fact, she didn't even have to fight one on her way back home. She emptied her bag, and gave the servants the food that she brought Link, so that they can protect it from getting spoiled. Princess Peach's letter also fell out, and she opened it and read it again. She smiled, and got in bed. Soon, she closed her eyes.
If only they knew the troubles that were about to fall upon them…
AU: Yes, short chapter, I know. I don't plan on making each group's story too long because that would take away from the plot. Expect more coming up, though!
