• Chapter 4: The Surprise
    Samus quickly walked in the direction that Zelda went. Samus already had a feeling she knew where Zelda was going. Zelda was in her room laying down on her bed blushing harder than what she was when Ike and Samus found Marth and her. Samus knocked on the door, Zelda sat up on her bed her heart racing after the past event.

    "Um Zelda are you in there, its me Samus." Samus said. Zelda walked over to the door and opened it. Samus was standing outside smiling at her, Zelda smiled back and hugged her old friend.

    "Come in and sit down please." Zelda said as she pulled Samus into her room. "Samus where have you been the last couple of years?" Zelda asked.

    "Well I have been busy with some things but I made some time for an old friend." Samus replied. Zelda and Samus sat in the room reminiscing the old days and talking about what's happened to them while the other one was gone. Zelda summoned one of the guards and asked him if he could send Mizuki up to her room with some snacks. The guard bowed and walked down towards the kitchen. A few moments later Mizuki came into the room with some snacks and Zelda introduced her to Samus and then they sat in the room talking about how they've been and laughing.

    Ike ran in the direction Marth went. He found Marth staring out a window going into is own little world.

    "Prince Marth." Ike said out of breathe as he finally found him. Marth turned around to face Ike.

    "May I help you Ike?" Marth said with his unkind tone.

    "What just happened back there with the Princess?" Ike asked him as he pointed down the way he came.

    "Nothing happened between us." Marth stated bluntly though in Marth's mind he wished that something would have happen. Ike stared at Marth for a moment.

    "So, you really have fallen for a Hyrulian, haven't you Prince Marth?" Ike said as he looked out the window.

    "So what if I have?" Marth asked as he glared at Ike then looked out the window. Ike gave a small laugh.

    "Who would have thought that you would fall in love on our little peace treaty meeting." Ike said with a smile at Marth. There was silence, during this silence Marth stared out the window looking at star filled sky. "It's late we should go find Zelda and ask her if she has any spare rooms we can use for tonight." Ike said as he looked at Marth. Marth looked up at him and nodded.

    "Right." Marth said as they both walked searching for Zelda.

    Zelda, Samus, and Mizuki were still in Zelda's room laughing and talking about things only girls would talk about. They stopped laughing for awhile.

    "So Zelda I heard that you were going out with the Hero of Time, oh what was his name." Samus said trying to recall his real name.

    "His name is Link, and yes I did at one point in time, but I never felt as though he really cared about me I felt like he only cared for the riches i have and the ones I will have once I am queen." Zelda said with a small sigh recalling all the things Link did with her to Mizuki and Samus.

    "Well there's someone out there for you Zelda I just know it." Mizuki said with a reasuring smile. Zelda smiled back.

    "Ya like that Prince of Altea." Samus said with a taunting smile on her face. Zelda blushed slightly at the mention of this and remembering what took place not to long ago.

    "You sound so confident in yourself Samus. What makes you so sure that it is Prince Marth I am destined to be with?" she asked Samus still blushing.

    "I saw you and him and you were about to kiss him. I have eyes I can see" Samus replied back to the red faced Zelda.

    "Alright so I like him so what?" Zelda inquired of Samus.

    "Can we change the subject please?" Mizuki asked them. Samus and Zelda nodded and they began to laugh again.

    Marth and Ike found a nearby guard and asked him where they could find Princess Zelda. The guard lead them to Princess Zelda's room and knocked on the door.

    "Princess I have two men that inquire an answer from you." said the solder. Zelda opened the door still laughing at what was said earlier to see Marth and Ike.

    "What can I help you two with?" she asked them with a kind smile on her face.

    "We were wondering if there are any rooms here in the palace the Prince Marth, Roy, and I may stay for the night."Ike said as he looked in the room to see the other two girls that were laughing with Zelda.

    "Yes there are several spare rooms that you may use. Let us go get Roy and I shall show you to your rooms." Zelda said as she walked out of the room. Samus and Mizuki stayed in Zelda's room and guard went back to his post.

    Zelda, Marth, and Ike found Roy in the kitchen tasting the chief's food.

    "Come on Roy we're getting our rooms for the night." Ike said as he dragged Roy away from the food.

    "But I'm not done yet." Roy whinnied as he was drug away from the food. Marth and Zelda laughed as Roy was being pulled away by Ike But Roy still hung on to one of the bowls of soup. Zelda walked up the steps to the spare bedrooms and showed each one of them their own separate rooms. They thanked Zelda and Ike and Roy went into their rooms, but Marth walked over to one of the windows and looked out into the star filled night sky. Zelda smiled and then turned to walk away.

    "Thank you Zelda for the spare rooms. We really appreciate it." Marth said facing the window but looking at Zelda out of the corner of his eye.

    "It was no problem and I'll do whatever I can to help Altea from now on." Zelda said as she turned around and smiled at him then began to walk off again. Marth caught Zelda's wrist and pulled her back to him and had her face him. Then he began to lean in on her again and and put both of his hands on Zelda's cheeks and stopped right before his lips met hers waiting to see what she was going to do. Zelda closed her eyes and kissed him.

    Samus and mizuki were in Zelda's room still talking about many things.

    "I wonder where Princess Zelda is." Mizuki said as she looked towards the door.

    "I'm sure she's fine Mizuki don't worry about her she can take care of herself, and besides she's with the Altea Prince and his friends so I'm sure she's fine." Samus said trying to reassure Mizuki that Zelda was fine. Many moments passed and Zelda never returned.

    "Maybe we should go look for her Samus." Mizuki said as she began to stand up.

    "Ya I guess your right."Samus said as she also began to get up then they both walked towards the door and went out to look for Zelda.

    Marth released Zelda from the kiss and smiled at her and then chuckled slightly. Zelda looked at him.

    "What's so funny Marth?" Zelda asked him trying to hide her curiosity in her voice. Marth looked back at her.

    "Ike, Roy, an I came to make peace beween our lands. No one would have thought I would. have fallen in love." he said as placed his forehead on her and smiled at her. Zelda smiled back at him. "You might want to be heading back. Your friends might get worried." With that Zelda nodded and hugged him then began to head back towards her room.

    "Good night Marth." Zelda said with a smile as she walked off down the hallway to her room.

    "Good night, Zelda." Marth said then turned and walked into his room. He walked over to his bed and laid down and drifted off to sleep.

    Zelda walked down the hall with a smile on her face. She saw Samus and Mizuki a little ways down the hall.

    "Hey um Mizuki can you show Samus to her room please?" she asked Mizuki when they got close enough to hear her.

    "Alright." Mizuki said then lead Samus to her room and Zelda went to her room. When Zelda got to her room she changed into her nightgown and then walked to her bed and laid down in it blushing slightly. She grabed her pillow and hugged it.

    "Marth I'm so happy I met you." Zelda thought aloud to herself blushing slightly harder, "And I hope that together we can find Impa." her smile widened and she tightened her grip on the pillow then drifted off to sleep thinking about Marth.
