"Hi, Link! What've you been up to?" asked Zelda as she took a place beside him on the soft,
green grass. "Summer here is just so wonderful," she thought.
"Just thinkin', " was Link's reply.
"About what?" Zelda inquired. She couldn't just ask one question, she had to ask tons of
them. She couldn't stay out of Link's personal life if her own life depended on it, and she knew
it. But he was just so... so interesting. He was always doing something. And you could count on
there never being a dull moment when you were with him. He was funny and intelligent and cute
and...well, she could go on forever...
"Uh, Zel? Are you there?"
"Oh! I'm sorry! I guess I was doing a little thinking of my own," she replied, a little
embarrassed at his comment.
"Oh! I almost forgot! Do you wanna go riding with me tonight? Or do you have something
planned already?" Link asked, putting a little more stress on the last question than he intended,
which made it sound like he was mad at her for something.
"No, I don't have anything else to do, and I would be more than delighted to ride with you
tonight, but are you mad at me?"
"Oh, no... It's just... you're always so busy nowadays, we hardly have any time together
anymore. But I guess I'd better get used to it. Didn't you're Father say he was gonna start making
you see suiters until you find one you're happy with?" Link asked . Zelda could've swore she
heard a bit of emotion in his voice. Could he possibly be on the verge of opening up to her? Nah,
he hadn't done that since they were kids and he had his doubts about himself against Ganon.
"Yes, my Father did say that, but I'm sure I can come up with something. I always have,
Haven't I?"
"Well, yeah, I guess. But, sooner or later you'll have to marry someone. You have to have an
heir,"
" Who says? Link, I'm tired of all these people running around, telling me what I can and
cannot do, and telling me how to live my life. It's always, 'Do this, Do that, Oh, no Zelda! Don't
do that! Go here, Go there' and I'm just sick of all this bullshit!" Zelda knew that any of her
secrets were safe with Link. She was glad, too, because she couldn't hold back anymore. And
Nayru only knows the punishment her Father would give her if he heard about this. She was glad
she had such a trustworthy friend. And for a brief moment she actually felt truly, completely
happy.
"Jeez, Zel. I didn't know you felt that way about it. But don't you like the attention?"
" Not really, Link. I mean, it's not like anyone even cares about me anyway. They're just
doing their jobs. They only care about getting paid and supporting their own families. Come to
think of it, I don't really think any one person in Hyrule would give a shit whether or not I die if
their jobs didn't depend on me being alive,"
This was making Link sick. She was a beautiful princess, a loyal friend, and if need-be, a very
helpful sidekick. And she had a whole life to live. She would own a whole country someday.
And as for the ' no one cares about her' part, Link knew dozens of people who would gladly die
for her, himself included. Oh, how he hated seeing her like this. She he tell her his feelings for
her now? It seemed as though he would be pushing it if he did that, but he couldn't deny it any
longer. He had to know if the feelings were mutual. "Alright," Link told his self. "I'm gonna ask
her...here goes nothing"
"Uh...Zelda? If I asked you something, do you promise to give me the complete and honest
truth?"
" Of course, Link. I would never lie to you..." "Oh, could he possibly be asking me to marry
him? Oh, the Goddesses, what will I do then? What if I get scared and say the wrong thing?
What if he just asks me some stupid question like, ' hey, Zel, what size shoe do you wear?' Better
expect the worst and get the best, than the best and get the worst..."
" Okay then, Zel...
To be continued..........
