Hey, you guys! -insert America laugh here- I suppose its that time again! Continuing my weird obsession with Squelda, we have a triple mix! It's a Final Fantasy VIII, Legend of Zelda, Enchanted crossover! ^.^

Basically its 'Enchanted' 'xept with the c's o' FF8 and Zelda. It makes sense, trust me. Anywho, I cant guarantee there wont be singing but- Why don't you just read it and see for yourself? Enjoy!


Once upon a time, in the fantastical kingdom of Hyrule, there lived an evil tyrant. This sorceress, who had placed herself as queen, ruled with an iron fist and knew no mercy. The people of the land knew not how this woman had attained the throne but all wished for the day when this cruel villainess would meet her end.

They prayed that the current prince, Prince Link, would find his true love and marry therefore making him rightful king thus putting an end to the false Queen.

Until then, the people could do nothing but try to appease the frightful sorceress who plagued their daily lives…

"Oh, Minish! It was simply magnificent!" Zelda scooped up the tiny hero in her hands as she twirled through the room happily. "Oh how I wish you could have seen it!"

Minish shut his eyes as the room went by in a blur, "I probably could if the room would stop spinning!"

"Oh!" Zelda stopped in mid twirl and set him down. She let out an apologetic giggle, "Sorry…"

"S'kay…" After the room stopped spinning he asked, "So what was it I was supposed to see again?"

"My dream!"

"Your dream?"

She nodded. " There was singing and dancing and," she sighed dreamily, "him…"

"Singing and dancing, eh? Well that sounds-" Minish paused. "Hold up! Him? Him who?"

Zelda sat down sadly, "I don't know, Minish… I woke up before I could ask him his name…"

"Well what did this fella look like?" he asked as he climbed up on her knee. "Tall and handsome or severely lacking in the brains department?"

She laughed, "Tall and handsome to be sure. His eyes were blue like sapphires, much like yours. And his hair, it sparkled like the sun…"

Minish eyed her suspiciously, "Sounds like you've fallen for this dream guy."

"Fallen?" She looked at him surprised. "Could it be that he… That he is the one I have been looking for?"

"Now hold on, Zel. We don't-"

"How could it be anything but?" She placed him aside as she got up and sang, "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss, and a prince I hope comes with this. That's what brings ever afterings so happy…"

Minish sighed as she continued to sing happily. All Zelda wished for in life was to find her one true love and live happily ever after. But thanks to the evil Queen's tyrannical rule, happily ever afters were in short supply… He did his best to make her happy but there's only so much you can do when you're three inches tall.

"Minish, my friend, do you ever think I'll get to meet him?"

"Sure! After all, your dreams always come true, don't they?"

Prince Link laughed triumphantly as he felled yet another moblin. "And that makes twenty! Vaati, did you get that?"

The young mage of winds sighed, "Yes, your majesty, I got it…"

Link clapped him on the back, "Vaati, my friend, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me by my title. It's unsettling…"

"Very well then. Link." He leaned up against a tree bored. "How many times are you going to go out killing everything you see? This is so mundane…"

Link thought for a minute. "You know, you're right. I've been thinking that perhaps maybe its time I sought out my other half…"

"Say what?"

He smiled happily, "I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss-"

"And a prince I'm hoping comes with this…"

Both Vaati and Link stared at each other in surprise.

"Did you hear that, Vaati? That voice…so magical…"

"Hear what? I heard nothing," he lied.

"Oh I must find the maiden that belongs to that sweet voice!" he exclaimed as he mounted his horse.

"No, stop! Where do you think you're going?-! There's no-"

"Ride now, Epona! Bring me to that melodious voice!"

Vaati stared after the prince as he galloped away. This was not good. If the prince were to find his true love and wed, the Queen would lose her crown. And if the Queen lost her crown…

He narrowed his eyes, "That wont happen…"

"Do you think he'll like blue or red flowers?"

"Honey, if he's your true love he'd like whatever."

"You think?"

"Zelda, I don't think. I know!"

She giggled, "You're so smart, Minish!"

"Naturally."

As Zelda picked some more flowers, Minish checked around for any signs of danger from his perch on her shoulder. Though they were in a secluded part of the wood, the forest was still dangerous. Enemy ambushes weren't exactly unheard of.

Let them come! he thought. I'll protect Zelda! No matter what!

Suddenly a huge surge of wind blew by causing Zelda to shield herself against the gusts. Poor Minish was sent flying by the breeze where he landed in a nearby tree.

"What on earth- Oh my!"

"Zelda, watch out!"

Several moblins had surrounded the girl and were closing in…

"Don't worry, Zelda! I'm coming!" Minish unsheathed his sword as he jumped out of the tree and landed at her feet. "Alright you's bad guys! Bring it on!" He paused as he realized he could no longer see them due to the flowers. "Aw crud…"

"Minish, help!" cried Zelda as she backed away from the oncoming moblins. She held onto her flowers protectively, "Please, don't come any closer! I-I'm warning you! If you come any closer I'll-I'll…hit you with my shoe!"

Minish sweat-dropped, "Like that'll do you any good…"

The moblins all sneered at her helplessness as they formed a tight circle around the maiden. She was completely defenseless; an easy target. The first moblin raised his sword…

"En garde, you foul beasts!"

Prince Link had arrived! Using his sword he expertly cut down the demons one after another. When all was said and done not a single demon was left. He sheathed his sword as he turned to her. "Are you alright, milady?"

As Zelda looked up into the face of her rescuer she gasped, "Its you!"

"Excuse me?"

"The man from my dream… You are him!"

"Dream?" He smiled, "I am Prince Link. And what might your name be, fair maiden?"

She blushed slightly, "Zelda…"

"Zelda… Somehow I feel as if we've met before… Like we were destined to be together…"

Minish had climbed to Zelda's shoulder and whispered, "The flowers! Don't forget the-"

"Oh!" Zelda held out the flowers for Link. "Here. I picked them just for you."

Prince Link brushed them aside gently, saying, "They are lovely to be sure, but no flower could ever match the beauty you exude…" He took her hand in his as he got down to one knee. "Dearest Zelda, would you grant me the honor of your hand in marriage?"

Zelda was speechless. The man of her dreams had just proposed to her! All of her dreams were about to come true.

"Yes," whispered Minish. "You're supposed to say yes!"

"Yes! Yes, of course!" she agreed happily.

Link was ecstatic. "Oh Zelda, we shall be married in the morning!" He swept her off her feet and placed her on Epona. "You're the fairest maid I've ever met. You were made-"

"To finish your duet."

As he got on and rode off they sang, "And in years to come we'll reminisce…"

"How we came to love…"

"And grew and grew love…"

"Since first we knew love through true love's kiss."

"But you havent even kissed yet..." muttered Minish.

Elsewhere, in one of the castle's many dungeons, Ultimecia was watching the scene unfold with a malicious scowl on her face.

"So this is the cursed child who believes she can take my throne from me… Well, we'll just have to see about that, now wont we?"

X

Vaati paced in front of the castle's main gate as he waited for Zelda to arrive. The Queen was not happy with yesterday's events and she made sure he knew that. But if all went as planned, he would never have to suffer her time compression torture ever again…

He shuddered, "This better work…"

A few minutes later Zelda finally arrived. She stepped out of a large white carriage wearing a beautiful wedding gown that trailed behind her. Her hair was done like any bride's and she wore the happiest expression on her face. And why not? It was her wedding day after all!

"Yo! Hey, Zelda, you forgot your-"

Minish was cut off as Vaati nearly stepped on him. "Your name was Zelda, correct? Prince Link is expecting-"

"Link?-! Oh, is he here already? Am I late?" she asked worriedly. "Oh, I hope I'm not late… Am I?"

Vaati forced a smile, "N-No, you're just on time actually."

"Oh good…" She let out a relieved sigh. "Oh, I'm so excited!"

"Hey, purple brain, move over!" Minish stabbed Vaati in the toe with his sword as he held up Zelda's head piece. "Here ya go, Zelda! You almost forgot this!"

She kneeled down and gave him a kiss, "Oh Minish, you're so thoughtful! Thank you!"

"Yes yes, you're all good. Shall we get going?" asked Vaati impatiently. "Wouldn't want to be late, would we?"

"Oh, you're right!"

As Zelda entered the castle courtyard, Vaati shut the door on Minish. The tiny hero glared up at the barricaded entrance.

"So that's how it is, is it? Well two can play at that game!" He looked around and spotted a vine growing up the castle wall. "Bingo!"

X

Zelda strolled down the courtyard path excitedly. "To think that soon I- That Prince Link and I- To think that we-"

"Will you finish your sentences?" asked Vaati annoyed as he followed behind.

"I'm sorry, its just I'm so excited!" she replied happily.

"You wont be for long…" he mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

After a bit of climbing, Minish had successfully entered the castle courtyard. He dusted himself off and looked around. Vaati and Zelda were down below in the garden. The two were about to enter the castle when a mysterious figure appeared.

"Why hello there, young lady," greeted the stranger. She wore a dark black cloak that hid her features but there was definitely something off about her.

Zelda, too excited and happy about the wedding took no notice of the stranger's odd appearance. "Oh, hello... Now if you'll excuse me, I must be-"

"Oh, but why the hurry?" asked the woman. "Why not stay and chat with me for awhile?"

"I'd love to but you see I have a wedding to go to." She bowed apologetically. "I'm really sorry, but I must-"

"A wedding!" As Zelda tried to get past, the woman stepped in front of her, blocking her access to the castle. "Weddings are such a joyous occasion, wouldn't you agree?"

"Well…yes. They are."

"But you know what's even more joyous than a wedding?" asked the woman as she led Zelda away from the castle doors.

"What could be more joyous than a wedding?" Zelda wondered curiously.

"Why, a wish on your wedding day of course!"

"A wish?"

"Yes, a wish… A special wish made on a special well… A special wishing well. Don't you want all of your dearest wishes to come true and live happily ever after for the rest of your days?"

Zelda nodded. "Well yes, that would be very nice."

The woman smiled, "Then what are you waiting for, my dear? Go and make your wish."

The strange woman had led Zelda away from the castle and into a small clearing in the garden. In the center was an ornate fountain that flowed into a deep well. What lay at the bottom was anyone's guess.

Zelda cautiously approached the well and peered down. Gathering her courage she clasped her hands together to make her wish. "Oh magic wishing well… Please listen well to my pleas… I wish-"

Just then the strange woman pushed Zelda and she fell forward into the well. Zelda screamed in fright as she fell down into the dark pit, her destination unknown…

Minish nearly had a heart attack and with his small body that would have been fatal. "Oh my gosh! Zelda! Zelda, come back! Help! I need help! I need-" The small hero was about to dash off for help but what happened next stopped him in his tracks.

The strange woman laughed a cold merciless laugh as she raised her arms and called out, "Speciosus, formosus, praeclarus!"

Minish gasped. "The Queen! Oh man! I gotta get Help! Link! Link, we need you!" he yelled as he dashed off after the prince.

Vaati frowned as he approached the Queen. "Was that really necessary?"

Queen Ultimecia regarded him with a cold demeanor, "Everything is necessary for me to remain Queen."

"Yes, but where did you send her?"

Ultimecia smirked down into the dark abyss, "To a place where there are no happily ever afters…"
