Back at Palutena's temple, Universe-1985

It was still night in Universe 1985. Peach, 22, Samus, and Zelda slept peacefully in their room while the boys had slight trouble sleeping. King Rohan was somewhat scared of an assassin sneaking in and killing him in his sleep.

"You sure are paranoid about your position as King..." Mario muttered, the king barely hearing it.

"Pika..." Pikachu and Kirby snored.

"Hey, guys?" Sonic asked. "Where's Rohan? PRINCE Rohan, I mean."

Outside in one of the gardens

Rohan was in one of the temple's gardens. He was pondering his new crush on 22. He fiddled with an iris flower. "Man...What's wrong with me? Why do I like 22 all of the sudden? Hehe...That's just silly, I don't like her, what am I talking about? But...what's wrong with being into someone from another universe? What's wrong with being in love again?" he clenched the stem of the iris tighter. "Prince Rohan Toadstool, you're destined to be a lone wolf! A LONE WOLF!" he then paused. "I mean...Don't get me wrong, she's smart, beautiful, pretty much a badass, and..." he clenched his head. "Man, what's wrong with you?! Something's wrong with you, man! I'm so confused...No! You don't like 22. That's wrong!" he crushed the iris in his hand. "Wait...Why would that be wrong? What's wrong with giving in to temptation? No, Rohan, you're NOT risking your heart being broken again! You're not!" he sighed and looked at the iris. "Man, I don't know what to do anymore! I just wanna tell her...Galeem, I'm so confused..."

(I Won't Say (I'm in Love) - Susan Egan)

If there's a prize for rotten judgment

I guess I've already won that

No woman is worth the aggravation

That's ancient history, been there, done that

Who'd you think you're kiddin'?

She's the earth and heaven to you

Try to keep it hidden

Honey, we can see right through you (Oh no)

Dude, you can't conceal it

We know how you feel and who you're thinkin' of

Oh, no chance, no way

I won't say it, no, no

You swoon, you sigh

Why deny it? Uh-oh

It's too cliché

I won't say I'm in love (Shoo-do, shoo-do, ooh)

I thought my heart had learned its lesson

It feels so good when you start out

My head is screaming, "Get a grip, bro!"

"Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart out"

Oh

You keep on denying

Who you are and how you're feeling
