Everybody was at the special Meet and Greet Party for the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Tournament in the den of Smash Manor.

All the newcomers and veterans were mingling with one another, sharing stories of past tournaments, adventures, and things of that nature.

Among the crowd were two particular veterans of the Smash Tournament: One was a cobalt-eyed Mushroom princess with waist-length blond hair who was wearing an elegant pink and magenta dress and carrying a pink parasol. The other, a legendary cerulean-eyed Hylian hero with dark blond hair who was garbed in a forest green tunic with matching hat, leggings, an undershirt, and had a fancy metal shield and a mystical purple sword strapped to his back.

Princess Peach and Link were just saying “Hi” to their friends from the last tournament because Peach was looking for her new boyfriend.

“So what does this ‘new boyfriend’ of yours look like again?” the Hylian inquired.

“Tall, tanned, and handsome. He’s muscular, has spiky blue hair, and he can even wield a two-handed sword with ONE hand! How awesome is that?!” the princess squealed in a fangirlish way.

“Right… and uh, how did you two meet again?”

Peach sweatdropped, “Oi, you’re such a butthead sometimes, Link… Ike and I met at the Qualifying Trials last month; I was his sparing partner, and as I fought with him, I thought that he was very good for the Brawl. Master Hand thought so, too. After we finished with the trials later that day, Ike and I started talking, found out we had a lot in common, and exchanged phone numbers. He asked me out on a date a week later, and we’ve been going out ever since…”

“………” Link decided to leave it at that.

:Meanwhile:

A few feet away, two newcomers were also looking for someone in particular. The first was a spiky navy blue-haired, sapphire-eyed man wearing an indigo tunic and some beige pants, along with brown shoulder armor that tied itself around his chest and had a torn red cape that billowed behind him with each step he took. In his possession was a golden holy sword meant to be carried with two hands, but he was holding it with one. His companion was an adorable, reddish-brown haired angel with sharp azure eyes and a gentle face to match. Donning a white silk tunic that showed off the dark blue bodysuit underneath, he had soft white wings folded against his back. On his body were various gold bands wrapped around his thigh, his arms, and his wrists, along with a pair of brown sandal-boots that donned several gold buckles.

“So, who exactly are we looking for again, Ike?” the angel asked his friend as they strode through the dense crowd.

“My new girlfriend, Peach. Be on the lookout for a woman who’s a bit shorter than me, but a little taller than you with long sunny blond hair, wearing a magenta dress, and holding a parasol,” replied the swordsman, his eyes wandering this way and that to spot the woman.

“Hmm… so basically, I’m looking for a blond version of Palutena wearing a pink dress?” the brunette angel repeated unenthusiastically.

“If you want to put it that way, Pit, then yes…” the blue haired swordsman answered, ignoring the obvious sarcasm.

They continued their search for another couple of minutes before, “…Ike!”

The aforementioned man’s head snapped in the direction of the female voice, and he saw the apple of his eye, “…Peach!”

The two Smashers ran into each other’s arms and started kissing wildly, completely disregarding the fact that nearly 40-some people were probably looking at them like, “Get a room…”

However, two other people were lost in their own little world as well:

Link and Pit locked gazes as they stared at each other.

Wow… Link thought …he’s so adorable and cute; and he’s an actual angel!

At the same time, Pit was thinking, Whoa… he’s so handsome; I hope he’s not taken…

Suddenly, Peach walked up behind Link and whispered, “Well, don’t just stand there, Hero, go talk to him…” Then, she nudged him forwards.

Ike mirrored her actions toward Pit, “What are waiting for? Say something to him…” giving him a little push towards Link.

Before either could protest, Ike and Peach had mysteriously disappeared, leaving Link and Pit all alone and not exactly knowing what the hell to say.

If I say anything, I might pass out… Link replied to himself. Well, here goes everything…

He gathered up his courage and confidently introduced himself as he held out his hand, “I’m Link; I’m a veteran of the Smash tournament.”

The angel felt more at ease now, and he smiled as he shook hands with the Hylian, “Pit. I’m a newcomer.”

“Nice to meet you, Pit. Welcome to Smash Manor…” the Hylian replied warmly.

The angel blushed, “Thanks, Link. You, uh, want to go grab an orange soda?”

“I love orange soda; it’s my favorite!”

They kept conversing as they began walking to the refreshment table, and they became good friends at that moment.

:Later:

“Liiink… hellooo?!” Peach asked, waving her gloved hand in front of the dazed Hylian’s face.

Link was still thinking about Pit when Peach came up and sat next to her heroic friend in the auditorium.

Master Hand has called everyone into the auditorium (veterans in section A, newcomers in section B) for the Brawl seminar.

“HYRULE TO LINK, HYRULE TO LINK, DO YOU READ ME?!”

“AAAHHH!” Link almost fell out of his chair, “…Peach!”

“Hey, I had to get your attention somehow… Were you thinking about that cute little angel-boy again?” the princess asked knowingly.

The Hylian just frowned at her with a raised eyebrow and remained mute.

The princess decided to have a little fun, “Aww, Linkie’s in love!”

Link started thinking about the intoxicating angel again, “Yeah… I think I am…”

Peach stopped dead in her taunting tracks, “…You’re serious?!”

“As a heart attack. There’s just a lot of things about him, Peach… a lot of things that I love about him so much…” Link explained in an other-worldly tone, “…Mostly his wings. They’re so soft and pure and they carry the light scent of the clouds…”

Peach mustered a giggle; this juicy bit of information had to be relayed to Ike ASAP…

:Meanwhile:

“Pit...? Heeelllooo...?” Ike questioned, brandishing his hand back and forth in front of the spaced-out angel’s face.

“SKYWORLD TO PIT, CAN YOU HEAR ME?!”

Pit flinched at the loud voice, then glared at Ike, “Loud… and clear…” he replied irately through clenched teeth.

“You were daydreaming about that Link fellow, weren’t you?”

The angel gave him an annoyed look, “…And if I was?”

“………”

“I think I’m in love…” he said dreamily.

Ike’s eye widened and his jaw dropped for a sec, “With Link?!”

“Mm-hmm… There’s so much about him that intrigues me… And I adore his ears; they’re long, pointy, and he even has earrings in them to match his eyes!” Link scampered through Pit’s mind again, “And his name…”

Ike chuckled to himself; this was definitely something he’d need to tell Peach…
