Zelda was sitting on a bench swing outside the smash mansion. She had her eyes covered in tears. She was crying about something awful.
"...Oh Link." Zelda cried, sadly.
Suddenly, a blue blur was approaching her. And right in front of her, Sonic the Hedgehog appeared. Although, Zelda didn't see him, as she continued to cry.
"What's up, Zelda?" Sonic said, with a smirk
Zelda saw him and said nothing. Her eyes were swollen red.
"What's wrong with your eyes?" Sonic wondered.
"It's...nothing, Sonic." Zelda said, weakly.
Sonic knew better though. She knew she was sad about something, and he decided to try and help her with her problem. He took a seat next to the Hylian princess on the swing.
"I know there's something bothering you. And I want to help you with whatever it is. Now, could you explain your story?" Sonic asked.
Zelda didn't say anything for a moment. But then, she decided to calm down and talked with Sonic.
"Well..." Zelda began.
FLASHBACK
Link was taking archery practice in the back yard of the Smash mansion. He shot another bow at the bullseye, which hit down right the middle.
Zelda went over to her long time friend to greet him.
"Link?"
Link turned around and looked at her.
"Oh, hi Zelda." Link greeted.
"Are you practicing?" She asked.
"Yeah. I mean, why wouldn't I be?" Link asked, with a laugh.
"Well, I mean, it's not often that you practice by yourself. Your usually practicing with Pit, Ike, or even Meta Knight." She replied.
"Well, I sometimes need my privacy." Link said.
"What if I'm around?" Zelda asked with a smile.
Link blushed. "Well, it's nice if your with me." He answered.
Zelda smiled as she continued to watch Link practice.
Suddenly, unknown to Zelda, a figure hiding in the shadows had some type of futuristic gun in his hand. He was aiming the gun. He locked his target and prepared to fire.
As Link was about to go for another shot, he heard the figure moving. He saw him, but only a little it of it. The hero saw the gun in his hand and saw that it was aiming straight for Zelda.
"Zelda! Look out!" Link shouted.
Zelda raised her eyebrow wondering why he would say that. Link shoved her out of the way, and the bullet of the gun fired and shot straight at Link's chest. The hero widened his eyes for a moment, before falling headfirst onto the ground. The figure immediately dissapeared.
Zelda got back up with her eyes wide, and saw Link on the ground unconsious. She ran over to him, and kneeled down to check up on him.
"Link...Link!? Wake up, please Link!' Zelda cried. She turned him around and saw the wound he had taken. Zelda bursted into tears.
"Liiiiiiiiink!" Zelda cried loudly.
Just then, Samus, Snake, Mario, and Peach came around from the front of the mansion. They ran over to her and the fallen Link.
"Zelda, what happened?" Samus asked.
"We heard a shot from the outside! It sounded like it came from a ray gun!" Mario thought.
"Zelda, what's wrong with Link?" Peach asked, started to get worried.
"It's Link. He's been shot!" Zelda cried even louder.
Samus and Mario hanged their heads down in sadness. Peach started to cry really loudly. Snake decided to find his communicator from his pocket.
"What are you doing, Snake?" Samus asked.
"I'm calling a helicopter." He answered.
"Why?" Mario asked.
"So it can get Link to a hospital. He's not dead, so it's not too late. And besides, the shot isn't fatal. So he has a chance.
"Really?!" Zelda asked with tears in her eyes.
"Yes. But I need to make a call first." Snake replied, as he found his communicator.
SHADOW MOSES ISLAND
A ring from a communicator from the one that Snake is using was making a calling sound (not a telephone ring).
Suddenly, a man wearing a white lab coat went over to the communicator and answered it.
"Snake? Is that you?" The man asked.
"Otacon. We got a problem." Snake asnwered from the communicator.
"What kind of problem?" Otacon asked.
"Link has been shot. It seems like a ray gun got him in the chest."
"Is he dead?"
"No, the shot didn't kill him, so I'm calling you so that you can get a helicopter here at the mansion to pick up Link, and get him to a hosptial." Snake explained.
"I got you covered, Snake. It will be there in about ten minutes." Otacon answered.
"You mind making that seven minutes, Otacon?"
Otacon laughed a bit. "No problem Snake. Mei Ling will get there fast as possible."
"All right, over and out." Snake said.
"Over and out." Otacon replied.
FLASHBACK ENDED
"And that's what happened." Zelda said sadly.
"But, why are still sad, though?" Sonic asked.
"Because, I'm worried. It's been over a week since Link was shot, and I don't know if he'll make it." Zelda said, as she started to cry again. "I miss Link."
"I miss him, too. And so does everyone else here. Well, almost everyone." Sonic thought, thinking Ganondorf would be pleased with the news or not. "But listen, Link is strong. he'll get through this. And besides, he's been through worse, hasn't he?"
Zelda stopped crying for a moment, and looked at Sonic. "Your right. I guess I'm just feeling negative about myself. But I'm not going to be okay until I see him with my own two eyes." Zelda noted. "But...thank you for cheering me up a bit." She smiled sadly, she leaned down to the hedgehog and hugged him. Sonic returned the hug, as they stood like that for a few moments. After that, Zelda kissed Sonic on the forehead. Sonic blushed at the sight of this.
"Thank you." Zelda said silently.
"Uh...your welcome." Sonic said, not having an idea of what just happened there. "Well, I'll see you later."
"Wait." Zelda stopped him.
"What is it?" Sonic wondered.
"Would...you stay with me on the swing for while?" She asked the hedgehog.
"Uh, sure. Why not." Sonic smiled, as he and Zelda sat on the swing staring at the view.
