Zelda: You just said that so that weird "wazzup" clue in your last humor fic would make sense.

LW: Quiet Zelly! I'm trying to fill in plot holes from that story! _

Zelda: There aren't enough genius Author's in the world to make that story make sense.

LW: Gee, you really know how to boost an Author's confidence Zelly, maybe I should make Link the star of this story instead.

Zelda: But you promised I'd get to be the star! Samus has been the star of all your other serious fics!

LW: I think I've only done one other serious Fic.

Zelda: That's not the point! _

LW: I know, the true point is that it's 12:19 in the morning and I'm still up.

Zelda: Actually that was completely random.

LW: True enough! Now on with the story! ^_^

Zelda: Yay! ^_^ Oh, and don't forget to review folks!

Princess Zelda sat in the gardens of the Super Smash Bros. stadium headquarters, a sullen expression upon her elegant face, her long elf like ears drooped in sadness as she heaved a sigh.

Princess Peach, Zelda's dorm mate and friend was crouched in a bed of flowers close by, humming happily to herself until she heard Zelda's depressed sound.

"Zelda?" Peach asked, turning to look at the Hylian Princess. "Is something wrong?"

Zelda turned to look at the Mushroom Kingdom leader.

"It's silly really." She said in a mockingly amused tone. "I shouldn't have expected anything from him anyway, after all why should he be concerned with giving me something?"

"What are you talking about, Zelly?" Peach asked, rising to her feet and walking over to the other princess.

"Link." Zelda replied, blushing with slight embarrassment.

"Oh. He didn't get you anything for Valentine's did he?" Peach asked, a look of sadness coming to her own face as she sat down beside her friend.

"I shouldn't have expected him too! I don't know why I did... After all with the new Zelda game coming out soon and all he's real busy, and we're not exactly a couple of anything."

"Still, you do wish he'd done something, don't you?" Peach asked, resting a hand over Zelda's comfortingly.

"Yeah. I mean, it might have been nice, even just a little card it didn't have to be anything special." Zelda replied, sighing once more.

"Maybe it just slipped his mind? You might get it belatedly.." Peach said in a hopeful tone.

"I doubt it." Zelda said with another heavy sigh.

~ * ~ * ~

At that same time, far off in the boy's wing of HQ Link was sitting on his bed, facing the wall, and slowly banging his head against it.

"Stupid. stupid. stupid!" He muttered to himself between blows to his own head.

His younger self sat on the floor, reading a comic book, or at least trying to read it. The constant thudding the older Hylian was making when he banged his head made it very difficult to concentrate.

"Hey!. Hey!. Link stop banging your head!" The younger Hylian hero yelled with annoyance.

Link stopped and turned to look at his clone.

"Oh, sorry Mini Me, I couldn't hear you." Link said apologetically.

"I can tell, and would you please find some other nick name, I'm not a three foot bald dude who's mute."

"Sorry again." Link said, sighing softly.

"So what's wrong with you?" the younger Link asked.

"Well. I meant to send Zelly a card on Valentine's day. But I forgot to will all the stuff going on with our games, and now it's Tuesday and it's far to late to give her one." Link explained in a sullen tone.

"Uh-huh. So you meant to send a card to Princess Zelda and you forgot because of the latest game where you've reverted from 17 to twelve?" Young Link asked, grinning a bit.

"Hey I'm still older then you little dude, don't make me have to bang your head on the wall too!"

Young Link's eyes cut from side to side around the room.

"Uhm. Yeah. I think I'll just. Go. Away." He said as he began edging toward the door. "Hope everything works, see ya later, don't hurt your head to much, bye!" He yelled quickly before racing down the hall to escape the upset teen.

Young Link might have only been ten but he was a smart kid for ten, if there was one thing he knew to avoid it was a teenager with love life problems. So it was that he found himself wandering aimlessly down the halls, reading his comic book as he walked, which probably wasn't such a bright idea. He ran smack dab into another person as he walked, as he bounced off the other being there was a loud clang and the young Hylian had the distinct feeling he had just run into a steel beam.

The boy lifted his gaze and gulped, he had just collided with Samus Aran, and you do not 'collide' with Samus Aran and expect to walk off without a word.

"Uh. Samus, uhm, I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going! I'm really really sorry!" Young Link said apologetically, while trying his best to look regretful and humble.

The bounty huntress gazed down at the elf like child from behind the green depths of her visor. It was an odd time for Young Link to do this, probably the worst situation in fact. Yet he found himself sidetracked by that fact that, no matter how large and imposing her suit was the elegant feminine eyes beneath her visor gave a sort of reassurance to those that were reasonably sure she wouldn't hurt them.

"You aren't going to. Shoot me?. Are you?" He asked hesitantly.

The same eyes Young Link was so easily distracted by seemed to sparkle for a minute as the woman smirked beneath her helmet.

"If I was going to shoot you." The woman replied, her voice giving a sort of metallic ring from beneath her armor. "You wouldn't be conscious to ask that question."

Young Link resisted the urge to run screaming. He nodded solemnly instead and gave a little bow of appreciation. "Thank you, Samus, again, I'm sorry." He said as he stepped around her and began swiftly walking down the hall.

"Be more careful in the future, bounty hunters aren't the only warriors in these halls." Samus called after him in warning.

Unsettled, and more then a bit fearful of running into someone worse then Samus, Young Link stepped into the game room, a location which held Nintendo systems from the present all the way back to the golden era when Nintendo had just become a gaming industry. To his surprise, he found, of all people, Princess Zelda, sitting upon a chair in front of the television that had the Nintendo system hooked up to is.

The blonde was playing the original 'Legend of Zelda' and, much to Young Link's surprise, was doing extremely well.

Young Link took a seat beside her, giving a friendly smile.

"How far are you?"

"Second to the last Dungeon." Zelda replied simply as she continued to play.

"Wow, how long have you been playing?!" Young Link asked, astounded.

"Since mid-morning." Zelda replied a second time, while simultaneously beginning to attack the skeletal warriors in a dungeon room. "I needed to take my mind of something."

"Oh? Something wrong Princess?" Young Link asked, looking at the young woman and blinking innocently.

The miniature Hylian hoped he might be able to find a way to help his older self please Zelda after failing to give her a card on Valentine's. Maybe if he figured out how Link could make it up to the Princess Link would stop referring to him as "mini me".

"It's nothing really." Zelda said, as she continued to play. "Besides, I know you Young Link, and if I tell you anything you'll go tell it to Link, then Marth, then Roy, then anyone else who will listen." The Princess said in a slightly annoyed tone as she cut her eyes over to look at him for an second.

" Hey that was just that one time! Besides, it was what you wanted for your birthday I figured you wanted me to tell people!" Young Link cried, feeling somewhat insulted by her comment.

"You thought I wanted you to tell people I wanted THAT!?" Zelda snapped, glancing over to him again with a slight scowl.

"I said I was sorry!" Young Link cried, suddenly feeling very small and vulnerable in comparison to the magic wielding princess.

Zelda paused the game and turned to look at him, her sad expression returning.

"I'm sorry Young Link. I'm just upset, forgive me. I think I'm going to go make some tea, you're welcome to finish my game for me if you want."

Young Link watched as the Hylian woman stood and walked from the room, from the way she moved he could tell just how badly it had hurt her feelings to not receive anything from Link on Valentine's. The boy sighed and picked up the game control, preparing to finish the game, which was his, his adult self, and the Princess's namesake. While he played his mind began to work, trying to think of away he could help the two older Hylian's, unfortunately forgetting that most of his plans to help always ended in disaster.

LW: There's the first chapter, I wish I'd been able to get it out earlier in the month.

Y. Link: It's still February, close enough.

LW: I suppose so, okay, I hope everyone liked it. ^_^

Zelda: Lonewolf, why exactly did you decide to make this into a romance where I'm absolutely miserable because some silly little teenager with a fairy didn't give me a folded piece of paper on Valentine's day?

LW: Because I've seen how your diary is outlined by his name over and over written in bubble letters and surrounded by little hearts.

Zelda: O_O;; I don't know what you're talking about. o.o;

LW: Suuuuuuure, you don't. Enjoy everyone, and please review!
