This morning, I quickly sat up in bed without hesitation. There was much to be done and no time to waste!

Although there wasn't a letter that arrived in a while, they must have gotten delayed or something, it was still quite a huge event!

I immediately ran over to my closet, trying to pick out what to wear.

I have to pick up the other Sheik today soo... I can't really wear the Twilight Princess or Breath of the Wild inspired outfits... Guess I have to go Hyrule Warriors for the day!

After putting on the outfit and shoving my throwing knives into their sheaths, I grabbed my harp and dashed out the door of my room, all the way to Principal Hand's office.

The literal hand hovered over a chair behind his desk, seemingly shocked at my sudden appearance.

"Ah, welcome back founder! As you can see, we've made tons of progress here and the students are excelling just as I promised!"

"I see. But as I've told you before, you can just call me Sheik, Mr. Hand. Anyway, I am here to ask a very important question."

"Go ahead, Sheik."

"Can I borrow your mic thingy?- I need to pull some students out of school for the day and I need a way to gather them all without going from class to class looking for them."

"Of course! But, I must ask, will these students be needed to stop an evil force?"

"No."

"To teach trainees?"

"Not even close, I would love to share the details with you, principal, but, I really can't. I am in a hurry sooo..."

"Ah yes, I understand. Please, go ahead."

"Thank you."

I rushed over to it, turning on with a press of a button.

"Hello, students of Smash High-"

I paused as I heard a small chorus of 'hi Sheik' from a few of the classrooms.

Aww, the Ice Climbers, Toon Link, Young Link, Ness, and Lucas must be nearby. I wish I could take them with meee-

"As some of you already, know, I am Sheik. No, not the student, I know we get confused sometimes, but I am Founder Sheik. Anyway, I just have to say, I am proud of all of you for all the progress you've made and all the progress you still have yet to make," I paused for a second, trying to figure out how to word my next sentence. "I need a few students to help me with a project. If you hear your name come meet me outside of Principal Hand's office as quickly as you can! Those students are..."

The school practically fell silent as everyone waited to see who's names were going to be called.

"Marth."

I heard a chair scraping against the floor and a door opening somewhere soon after...

I swear to Nayru if that boy just stood up and posed dramatically I will not be able to keep myself composed.

"Link."

A 'yes' came from somewhere, followed by angry sounds from Jigglypuff.

Ah, music class...

"Roy."

Seconds later the red-haired boy appeared directly behind me.

"Hi, other Sheik!"

I turned off the mic to the loudspeaker before I responded.

"Wha- How did you get here so fast?!"

"I was passing by and I heard you say my name so, here I am. Plus, I had a feeling you were gathering all the children specifically," he said, winking.

I turned back and pressed the button for the loudspeaker again.

"Sheik."

With a poof of a smoke bomb, she was already behind me, this time I wasn't surprised.

"Pit."

All that could be heard throughout the halls was a loud "Yes! I was chosen!"

"And last but not least, Dark Pit! I hope you all have a wonderful day!"

He must've been slightly on edge today because his response was a very loud and dramatic "ughhhhhh" followed by "YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT MUSIC CLASS SHEIK!-"

I turned off the loudspeaker and walked out of the office to find the others waiting outside for me already.

"Alright, guys! I hope you all know why you're gathered here today. You are our children after all..."

"I know what is it," Sheik said, pulling down the fabric around her neck and smiling.

"Good, now tell the others, but, make sure to whisper, we don't want the readers to know," I responded, looking off into the distance dramatically.

Yes, I know... I shamed Marth for being dramatic but I'm dramatic too- But, not as dramatic as him! Anyway, yeah, we know you exist readers! We know you're listening to our thoughts...

Sheik whispered the reason to everyone, some of their faces changing into smiles.

"Really?! That's today," Roy exclaimed, a little excitedly.

"Yup! Link, you're on kitchen duty! With your culinary skill, I can definitely trust you to get the job done!"

Link nodded in reply.

"Marth and Sheik, you two are in charge of arrangements and decor! I trust you should have experience with that since you are a King but Sheik's precision and speed the job should be done twice as fast!"

"Alright."

"Pit and Dark Pit, you two are on food and drinks but Dark, keep a close eye on him, please... I don't want Pit eating everything."

"Sure, whatever."

"Roy, you get to hold this clipboard and follow me around as I keep things on schedule, your job is super important. After you've completed your part put on your best outfit and meet me, Marth, and Sheik in the dining hall!"

~A smol time skip by a smol sis~

The moment I entered the dining hall, the scene immediately took my breath away.

"Marth, Sheik... You've done amazing! Just look at it, it's stunning," I exclaimed in complete awe. "And your outfits alone-"

Just then, Roy finally got back from changing, interrupting my sentence.

"Look at all of you! You're breathtaking! I can't wait to see the others!"

Sheik tugged on the dress a bit. "Zelda made me wear this... I would've liked to wear something much more comfortable though."

"Well, it looks great on you," Roy said, pulling Sheik away to go talk, leaving me behind with Marth.

"So um... I honestly don't know what to say."

"はい、私は言葉にも迷います..."
("Yes, I am at a loss for words as well...")

"Hm... Seriously, good job with the decorating! The table set up is PERFECT and the lighting alone..."

"The combination together is enchanting to look at (組み合わせは一緒に見て魅惑的です)," we said at the same time, causing me to laugh.

"It's nice to see someone around here shares my love for interior design. When do you think the others will get here?"

"すぐに私は願っています...私は ロイのクリップボードを見つけました、そして、彼らがすぐに到着しないならば、我々は予定より少し遅れるかもしれません.."
("Soon I hope... I found Roy's clipboard and if they don't arrive soon then we might be a bit behind schedule..")

"Wait- Let me see," I began, leaning over and looking to where the Hero King was pointing. "You're absolutely right! We- Well, I should go check on Link, Pit, and Dark Pit... You're welcome to tag along and be in charge of the clipboard if you like."

"うーん、理由がわからない...行こう!"
("Hm, I don't see a reason not to... Let's go!")

We ran out of the dining hall, which I'd have to admit, was pretty hard with the fabric hanging from the bottom part of my outfit.

I chuckled slightly. "Marth, how is it that you're running with that cape while I can barely run with this skirt thing-"

"私はそれをしてきた私はそれをやってきたすべての私の長年から練習しているのでそれを言いますが、岬はちょうど私の後ろに流れます. あなたが望むなら私はそれを握ることができます."
("I would say it's because I have practice from all my years of doing it, but, the cape is at my shoulders, after all, it just flows behind me. I could hold onto it if you'd like..")

"That's so kind of you, thanks, a lot!"

"本当に問題ありません," he said, switching the hand the clipboard was in and grabbing onto the fabric, lifting it.
("It's really no problem,")

"Link should be in there," I pointed at a doorway slightly further down the hallway as I slowed down.

Once we approached it we saw Link standing next to his finished product proudly. "Oh, hey Sheikah," he said smirking.

"Um... Hello, Link..."

"Ohhhhhh, you're not that Sheik. Sorry, I thought you were the other one. That's a really nice outfit by the way!"

"Aww, thanks, I'm glad you like it," I replied, smiling. "I love yours too!"

"This old thing? I've had it forever! One question though," the Hylian boy began, smirking to himself. "Why is Princey over there holding your skirt up, hm? Enjoying the view?"

A light pink blush spread over Marth's face. "リンク! 長さのせいで私は単に彼女を助けているだけです! そのような誤った告発は失礼です. また、私は王子ではありません、私は実際に王です..."
("Link! How dare you! I am merely helping her because of the length of it! Such false accusations are rude. Also, I am not a Prince, I am actually a King...")

"Alright, alright! Calm down Princey, I was just teasing you!"

Marth huffed loudly behind me, slightly annoyed.

"Anyway," the Hylian began gesturing at the literal tower beside him. "I suppose this is what you came for?"

"It's lovely Link! You've done a fantastic job!"

"私もそう思う!"
(I think so too!)

"Bring that to the dining hall and everything should be about ready!"

"Alright, you're the boss," Link said, giving me a slight salute.

"Good! Now, if you'll excuse us, me and Princey need to go check up on the little angels. "

"Alright, Pit and Dark should be in the teacher's lounge with Palutena. See you later!"

"Thanks, Link!"

Once back in the hallway, Marth sighed as we walked down to the teacher's lounge.

"Hm? What is it, Marth?"

"私はそのニックネームが好きではありません. 私は王であり、王子ではありません..."
("I do not like that nickname. I am the King and not the Prince...")

"Ah... I apologize then, Your Highness."

"あなたはそんなに正式である必要はありません、ただそのニックネームを使わないでください..."
("You do not have to be so formal, just do not use that nickname...")

"Alright. May I ask though, why don't you like it?"

"それは私のタイトルが重要ではないようになります."
("It makes my title seem unimportant.")

"I really am sorry then."

"大丈夫だよ," Marth said, opening the door to the teacher's lounge for me.
("It's okay,")

On the other side of the door was an adorable assembly line that consisted of both angels and Palutena herself.

"Hi Sheik and Marth," Pit called out happily, putting the final piece of bread on top of the final sandwich and passing it to Palutena on a plate.

"Hey, guys. Well, don't you three look cute!"

Palutena chuckled while putting in the final toothpick to hold the sandwich together. "You have to look stylish while making food. Plus, it looked fun to dress up so I thought I should too!"

"Good choice, it looks great on you! So, are you almost done?"

Dark Pit Shrugged. "I don't know, you tell me."

"You all look pretty done... Now all that's left to do it take all that to the dining hall!"

"You heard her," Palutena exclaimed. "Grab what you can and I got the rest!"

"But... How," I asked, possibly wondering how one woman can carry so much.

"You'll see," Dark Pit said, smirking as he walked past with Pit, carrying a few containers of food.

"Well, time to go," Palutena said cheerfully, walking towards the door as all the leftover containers started to levitate and follow behind her.

"テレキネシス," Marth asked as she walked by, tapping on one of the containers as it floated past him.
("Telekinesis,")

"I guess so," I replied, shrugging and following behind them with Marth in tow.

Once everyone was back and everything was set up we all got in our positions.

I hope she found the note I left for her on her bed...

Moments later a knock at the door signaled everything went according to plan!

I can't wait to see herrrr!!!

The moment the door swung open, she stood shyly in the doorway in the dress I left out for her, hesitating.

"HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY Warriors_Of_Smash," everyone yelled all at once as I quickly ran over and pulled her inside.

~~~~><•°•*•°•><~~~~

To my lovely Katie Kat; The greatest sister of them all:

I know we agreed not to make too much of a big deal of it but... I can't really do that! You're 16 now for crying out loud sis! Even though I can't be there physically for a while, I can still give you a huge, well thought out and planned fictional Sweet 16!

I literally missed school to make sure everything was perfect because you are in every way worth it. You ARE perfect! I couldn't ask for a better person to call my sister other than you, even if we actually aren't related... (It's really a minor issue though-)

I spent over 7 hours writing this, getting translations for Marth's dialogue, finding the perfect images, and trying to plot out everything. Most of this is just improv alone.

I tried my best from 5 something in the morning until now, nearly 1 PM to give you the best fictional party possible until I can make up for it in the future. Marth and I are already planning your wedding! ;33

I'm kidding of course but, in the fictional world, anything is possible! You've definitely shown me that with your lovely works.

I honestly can't even remember a time before I've met you. From every rant to all of my breakups you've been there through it all. I can't even remember how long I've known you but it feels like forever.

Just as I was before, I promise to be here through it all. From the aftermath of every swim meeting where you've gotten home sore from a day of doing your absolute best to the future days of getting home late from a long day at work.

I'm sorry if I was a little extra with this whole thing but, you definitely deserve it so I'd go through the entire thing all over again, just for you!

So, from the bottom of my heart, and all the children; Happy birthday!

We love you, Katie!
