August 23rd, 10am.
"Tell me again, how we'll get to Rosalina's castle?" Zero Samus asks Peach as she sits on the sofa, flipping through a magazine. She and Peach are in the main living area where rows of windows are open, letting the thin white curtains swirl around them.
"I think there will be stars that take us there." Peach replies. "Though I'm not sure. I'll read the invitation again." She says and goes upstairs to look for it. Zero continues reading her magazine when the doorbell rings. "Do you mind getting that Zero!" Peach calls down. Zero sighs and limps to the door. When she does, she finds a package on the floor with a pink ribbon. She looks around to see who brought the package but no one was there.
"I wonder what this is..." She picks the package up and is surprised how light it is.
"Here I found the invitation!" Peach says. "There will be a package at your door with a star inside. This will take you to Rosalina's castle in the cosmos." She reads aloud.
Zero holds the package up and smiles.
"I think this is it." She places it on the glass table and unties the ribbon. Suddenly, out pops a giant yellow star.
>Hello! I will be taking you to Rosalina's birthday celebration! Whenever you need transportation there, just call my name, Starry, and I will take you to the cosmos!<
Peach and Zero both squeal at the star.
"It's so adorable!" Peach cries.
Zero laughs.
"Starry, you're so cute!" she says to the star.
>Thank you!< starry says, smiling back at them. >I noticed there are two of you, I can only take one person at a time.< starry says with a frown. "I should have a package at my place. I'll see you at the party Peach!" Zero hops out the door, waving.
"Lord Ike, I found a package at the door addressed to you." The butler says, walking in to the living room where Ike and Zelda sit. He brings the package wrapped with a dark blue ribbon to Ike.
"That must be the star to take us to Rosalina's castle." Zelda says. She unties the ribbon. This time, the star is blue. "Oh how cute!" Zelda smiles. She places her hand under the star and it starts to swirl and dance. Zelda and Ike both laugh and ask the star more questions.
"I just realized, your star is at your temple." Ike says.
Zelda nods and stands from the white leather sofa.
"I should probably leave then." She starts to walk out the room.
"I'll come with you." Ike says. He takes her hand and walks her outside. Together, they teleport to Zelda's temple.
Outside her door, is a package wrapped in a golden ribbon.
"I'll take this inside first, then I must find a dress to wear." She says, placing her palm on the doors.
"Do you have something to wear yet?" Ike asks. Zelda shakes her head sheepishly. "Then we can go to Delfino Plaza and shop for one!" he suggests.
"I don't have any coins with me though." Zelda replies. She places the package on the marble dinning table.
"Its alright, I have coins to spare." Ike smiles.
"Bu- Zelda starts but Ike puts his finger on her lips.
"Zelda, I'll pay for you." He says.
She takes his hand and smiles, slightly embarrassed. He kisses her cheek and they teleport once again.
"This is the perfect store!" Ike says. He opens the door for Zelda and follows her inside. From the outside, the store looks like a small boutique but the interior is like a grand palace. All along the walls hang dresses and suits. They walk along the isles, hearing their footsteps echoing through the building.
"Welcome!" A pink mushroom pops up behind them. "What are we searching for today?" the mushroom smiles and tilts its head.
"I was looking for a masquerade dress, and I'll also need a mask." Zelda says. The mushroom nods and quickly zips around the store, running so fast, Zelda and Ike can barely see it.
"Here we are!" the mushroom hands Zelda a purple and white dress. The top is covered with lace and the bottom is so puffy, it looks as if multiple blankets are wrapped around it. Zelda's eyes widen and she laughs nervously.
"Ehh, this is a bit..."
"Too much for her." Ike helps her finish the sentence.
The mushroom frowns and zips around the store again.
"Thank you." Zelda says to Ike, shyly. The mushroom comes back with a pure black dress with holes all around the sleeves. There's a slit on at the leg that goes up too high for comfort. Zelda stares at the dress, a bit scared.
"Maybe find something a bit...less extreme." Ike says to the mushroom, apologetically. The mushroom pouts at Ike and starts looking for another dress. As the mushroom searches, Ike sees, out of the corner of his eye, the perfect dress for Zelda. He walks her over to the rack.
"Look, Zelda." He points to the dress. "It even has a mask with it already." He lifts the dress over her and smiles.
"Hmmm." Zelda says as she examines the dress. "This is perfect." She grins.
Just then, the mushroom comes back, panting and sweating.
"I found it!!" the mushroom cries in victory. But it sees the dress Zelda is holding and frowns. It starts sobbing and throws the dress it was holding onto the ground.
"We're so sorry!" Ike and Zelda say at the same time.
"We'll pay you extra for this dress." Ike says. The mushroom looks up and smiles.
"Really?"
Ike nods and gives the mushroom 70 gold coins. It beams at him and quickly takes the coins away.
"You didn't have to do that." Zelda smiles.
"For you, I would do anything." Ike hugs her as they walk out of the store into the bright light of this beautiful August day.
