What even is this chapter lol

"Christmas shopping..."

"Yeah! Christmas is practically right around the corner, so I figured why not?"

Robin pushed the cart around as Shulk skipped around finding anything Christmas-like they could put around the house.

As Robin tuned the other man out, Robin checked his phone real quick to see if anyone had texted him. And of course, there was a text from Ike.

Ike:Where'd you guys go?

Robin: sorry Shulk really wanted to go Christmas shopping.

Ike: Oh okay now I'm glad I didn't come with you guys. 😏

Robin: K see u in an hour

Ike: k bye

Robin tucked away his phone and caught up to Shulk.

"So... how much money are you making me spend on this..." Robin asked.

"Ehhh, $200 tops? And I'm sure we'll get a discount... so... $100?" Shulk replied,dropping a Mario ornament into the cart.

"Yeah... I think we've went way beyond 200. Let's get in line."

"Waaaiit, but—"

"Nope. Come on."

~~~

The two men waited in line, standing quietly and patiently. They got the occasional stare from children, teens, and young adults. Not really because they were recognizable and iconic characters but because there was a Smash Bros. Poster right next to them that for once had their faces on it.

"Robin..."

"No."

"Robin!"

"I do not want to play that stupid Heads Up Game on your phone, Shulk."

"No, there's just a kid... tugging on your coat."

Robin looked over his shoulder to see a little boy swinging around on the end of Robin's coat, his mother clueless as she looked at some of the little trinkets on the side of them.

"Ahem." Robin coughed loudly.

The mother was taken in surprise as she saw her son.


"Yeah, uh," Shulk started. "Get your son's hands off my man."

~~~




"Zel?" Daisy asked as she knocked on her bedroom door.


"Yes?" Zelda called from inside her room.


"Can I come in?"


...


"Yeah."


Daisy pushed the door open and walked in the room.


"It's a little early, Daisy... don't you wanna sleep?"


"It's a little early, Zelda. Don't you wanna sleep and not watch Friends for 10 hours straight?"


"It's only 6:00?!"


"Mhm." Daisy sat on the end of Zelda's bed. "I made you breakfast muffins. Here."

Daisy handed Zelda a small plate of golden-brown muffins. Zelda eagerly took them out of Daisy's hands and took the first bite out of one.

"I used that... bacon.. filling.. that you told me was actually pretty good. It's weird that you like that kind of stuff, Zel."

"If you tasted it, you would like it." Zelda declared. "Isn't it a little cold? You only have a tank top on and Pajama shorts."

"Eh, it's okay--"


"Hey, Zel, what's the smell--"

Roy suddenly walked in the room, but stopped in the doorway for some reason.


"Uh, Roy, Daisy's eyes are up here." Zelda stated, pointing to Daisy's face.


"Sorry! Sorry.. uhh those pajamas are just distracting-- I mean! Isn't it a little cold, Daisy?"


Zelda snickered as she took another bite out of the muffin.


"...Do you want my button-up shirt?"


"Okay, Roy! Have a muffin. And hurry up before I change my mind." Zelda held out a muffin.


Roy waddled over and snatched the muffin from Zelda's hand and rushed out of the room.


"He really likes you."

"Eh.. Anyway..." Daisy cooed. "How have you been since... yesterday?"


Zelda stopped chewing on the muffin. "I don't know... gods, I'm such a wuss. I barely see the guy and I'm running to the hills, Daisy! And you think even after seven months I could at least ignore him and go about my day?!"


Daisy hesitated before saying, "Well... you haven't exactly been face-to-face to him until last night..."

"Yeah, so?! 7 months has passed, Daisy! SEVEN MONTHS!"

"Woah woah woah, Zel. For now, eat your muffins and watch your show. I gotta go."


"Huh? go where?"


Before Daisy left the room, she simply said, "Out."

~~~





A couple hours have passed, and only now was Zelda getting up from her bed. As she walked down the hallway, she heard faint laughing in the living room. She decided to check it out, quietly creeping down the hallway.

As she looked over the corner, she was able to see Samus seated on the couch, on the phone with someone.

"Heh, yeah... quiet!! You're such a weirdo..." Samus laughed.


Zelda just watched the scene play out. I mean, it was pretty obvious who she was on the phone with.

Then Zelda tripped.


Randomly, out of no where, she tripped. Over nothing.

Samus jumped, accidentally pressing the hang up button on her phone. She turned around to see Zelda, just sitting on the floor.


"Zel?!"

"Hey Sam!"

Samus sighed and demanded, "Sit, let's talk."

~~~





"I just don't know why you have to keep this relationship of yours a secret, Sam.." Zelda said.


"Ummm, hello? Do you see what happens to couples here? You and Link broke up, Robin and Lucina haven't been able to do stuff together since forever, and Roy and Daisy aren't even together yet."


Zelda's eyes slowly widened as she realized this.

"But, you do know that we pretty much all know by now." Zelda explained.

Samus sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "I figured. And don't say anything when Ike and I go out tonight?"

"Fine. And where is he taking you?"

"It's a surprise."

"Ah."

"Yep."


The women sat in silence for a few seconds.


"Where's everyone else?"

"Daisy went out with Peach for the day, Roy went with Marth so he could see Daisy and Peach, and Pit is doing that weekly check-up thing he does with Palutena."


"You should go out, Zel."

"Huh?"

"Yeah! Grab a friend or two tonight and hit the town or somethin! You haven't done shit for seven months."


"Fine. But if I come home drunk, it's your fault."

"Fine."

~~~


"JUST ANOTHER SIP!"

"ZELDA NO!"

~~~


Samus, tired from taking care of Zelda and getting the girl to sleep, slowly walked through the hallway.

While passing, she was able to hear the sound of Zelda's computer playing another one of her shows. And she heard Roy and Daisy trying to have a conversation without Roy screwing up.

As she made her way to Pit's room to check on him, she heard him talking to someone over the phone. When she stepped into the room, Pit was holding his phone to his ear.

"Yeah. Sure, Lady Palutena! Okay. See you tomorrow!" Pit hung up and set his phone down on his bed. "Hi Sam!"

"Hey. Pit..." Samus sat down beside him. "What were you two talkin about?"

"Eh, Lady Palutena wanted to talk again tomorrow, and she told me to have Robin come... I'm sure it was nothing."

"Oh. Well, get some sleep. Something tells me you're gonna have a long day tomorrow." Samus said, getting up and ruffling his hair real quick before leaving the room.

"Now... I want some sleep..." Samus mumbled. When she stepped into her room, she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She grabbed it.


Ike: Hey, you down to hit the town tmrw??

Samus grinned.


Samus: Sure am. g'night.


Ike: Good night :)
