It was a nice warm morning in Hyrule and Zelda awoke, rolling over to kiss her bounty huntress wife on her lips. “Mmph…mmm…thanks, honey…” Samus muttered as she awoke. “What was that for?”
“Don’t tell me you forgot!” giggled Zelda.
“Right, my big day.” Smirked Samus. “I’ve not kept too much track of it on space missions and getting in fighting shape for the new mission.”
“Think you’ll be ready?” asked Zelda.
“I hope so, the galaxy’s at stake.” Replied Samus. She got out of bed, dressing in her Zero Suit as Zelda dressed in her Princess gown. The two went down to the dining room, Yang and Shantae drinking coffee while Blake cooked bacon and eggs on the stove.
“Morning, how’s the birthday girl?” asked Blake.
“Good as ever.” Replied Samus. “Any one of you three want to be my sparring partner today?”
“I could go for it.” Smirked Yang.
“Same here.” Added Shantae.
“Ooh, a triple threat match. Sounds fun.” Smiled Samus. The three went up to the rooftop, standing in various areas atop Hyrule Castle.
“3, 2, 1, GO!” they all shouted. Yang shot at Samus, suplexing her into the ground before being hit by a Burning Dropkick from Shantae. Samus got up and struck Shantae with her paralyzer whip, moving her back. Yang leapt forward, pummeling Samus with quick punches before smacking her back with a fierce one. Shantae threw a shot put, clobbering Yang and knocking her to the lower part of the Castle roof. She grabbed a PokeBall, releasing Scizor. Scizor flew forward, slicing Samus and Yang, sending them into the air and making them collide hard with the ground. Samus grabbed a Steel Diver and opened fire, pummeling Shantae, moving her back, then throwing the empty submarine-shaped gun at Yang, defeating her. A Smash Ball appeared and Shantae hit it with a Burning Dropkick, followed by trying to hit it with a Soaring Axe Kick. Samus used her rocket boots to hit the Smash Ball multiple times, grabbing an Assist Trophy. She unleashed Zero, who dashed forward, slashing both Shantae and the Smash Ball. The Smash Ball broke open as Zero pummeled Shantae with his blade.
“Back to base!” he said, teleporting away. Samus activated her Final Smash, shooting a Zero Laser from the background atop her gunship, striking Shantae. A second, powerful shot, after an extended beam, defeated Shantae, Samus flipping in victory. The three returned to the dining room, chuckling amongst each other over the match.
“You’re really doing well, Samus, I bet you could handle the next mission easy.” Smiled Shantae.
“You think so?” asked Samus.
“I’d be willing to bet money on it.” Complimented Yang.
“Let’s hope so, otherwise things might get dire.” Muttered Samus, the three entering the dining room.
“Surprise!” shouted Zelda and Blake, now accompanied by Lucina, Rise Kujikawa, Edelgard, Byleth, Mario, Pyra (and Mythra with her), Nia, Palutena and Chun-Li. Samus gasped loudly in delight.
“Oh my Lord, how’d you, how…?” she stammered.
“Zelda let us know.” Replied Edelgard.
“The big 3-5, wow, what a milestone!” smiled Chun-Li.
“And a new Switch game in a couple of months!” added Lucina.
“You deserve a good day today.” Stated Rise Kujikawa.
“Happy Birthday, Samus, old friend.” Said Mario, shaking her hand.
“Thank you, thank you all. Th-this really means a lot to me.” Said Samus, slightly tearing up. Zelda hugged her, kissing her neck, Samus hugging Zelda back, kissing her cheek.
“Oi, ‘tis got me all misty, not that I’m goin’ soft or nuffin’!” said Nia.
“It’s okay to let your heart show, Nia.” Said Pyra.
“Maybe fer yeh, yeh bleedin’ heart behbeh!” replied Nia. Mythra leapt in at that moment.
“You calling my sister a ‘bleeding-heart baby?’” asked Mythra. “After this party, you and me on the roof!” declared Mythra.
“Bring it on, I got lots of skills yeh an’ her can’t compare with!” smirked Nia. Meanwhile, Palutena approached Blake, who was near the kitchen.
“You did bring lots of sweets, right?” Palutena asked Blake. Edelgard walked up, as well.
“While said at a rude time, I’m in agreement with you, Palutena.” Sighed Edelgard.
“Keep your gowns on, I got several plates of cookies and donuts. But let’s let Samus and Zelda enjoy their moment right now.” Said Blake. Palutena and Edelgard smiled contentedly. Samus and Zelda softly waltzed to music only they could hear, glad to be together. It was beautiful bliss.
“When I finish this next mission, let’s go somewhere, just you and me.” Whispered Samus.
“Delfino Plaza sounds good.” Replied Zelda.
“It’s a vacation date.” Smiled Samus, hugging Zelda close to her again. Zelda smiled joyfully as Samus smiled with contentment. To protect and love an uncomplicated yet wise Princess, this is what she had always hoped for, and it was securely hers.
The End
