"WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS! WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

I wake with a start to the sound of loud singing and the clanging of a brass bell. I frown, groaning as I rub my eyes, Link sits bolt upright next to me, frowning in confusion.

"What on earth is that racket?"

I sigh, rolling my eyes. "Take three guesses!"

"GOOD TIDINGS WE BRING, TO YOU AND YOUR KIN! WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

I groan as I throw back to the duvet, climbing to my feet and stumbling over to my bedroom door with Link just behind me. I grab the door and pull it open to find Sheik on the other side, dressed in a red furry hoodie and ringing a brass bell, singing at the top of his lungs.

Link groans. "Sheik, what the hell are you doing?"

"Merry Christmas!" He exclaims, continuing to ring his bell.

Midna stumbles out of her room, pushing her long red hair out of her eyes. "What time is it?" She mumbles, her voice low from just waking up.

"Six in the morning! Now come on! Let's get this Christmas started!"

That's when the front door is thrown open and Saria and Dark stumble through, still dressed in their pyjamas and bleary eyed.

Dark groans loudly, turning to Sheik. "You have neighbours! Shut the hell up!"

"Come on!" Sheik whines, "It's Christmas! You have to join in too!"

"It's six in the morning!" Saria whispers, sighing.

Midna frowns, and I watch carefully as she sidles a little closer to me, leaning up to whisper in my ear. "Is it just me… or does Saria look like she has sex hair?"

I frown, tilting my head a little as I glance at Saria, and sure, enough, her green hair is mussed up in a way that can only be caused by one thing… I widen my eyes, and Midna nods, smirking.

"What's so funny?" Saria asks, glancing over at us.

I nod at Midna and she returns the gesture. We both walk up to Saria, taking her by the hand and dragging her towards the pantry, "We just need a quick word with you in private…"

She shoots us a look of confusion as we drag her through the kitchen. Midna pulls open the pantry door and we both bundle her in, following her and quickly shutting the door behind us.

"You and Dark slept together last night?" Me and Midna chorus, crossing our arms and raising out eyebrows.

Saria laughs nervously, playing with her hands. "No! That's crazy! What gave you that idea?"

Midna smirks, "Ok, first of all, you kissed yesterday, and then you were acting all coupley! And THEN you both turn up at our apartment at the same time!"

I snicker, "Plus you totally have sex hair!"

"I do not!" She exclaims, tucking her green pixie cut behind her ear. "How dare you! … And what is that?"

Midna smiles, "Sex hair is what happens to your hair directly after you… y'know!"

"I don't have sex hair!" She defends, "I just… had a rough night…"

"Yeah you did!" Midna sniggers.

I just roll my eyes. "Please Saria, we're your best friends! You can trust us with anything!"

She sighs. "Fine, so MAYBE Dark and I spent the night together, but-"

"Ooh!" Midna interrupts, "Is he your boyfriend now?"

"I don't know…" Saria mumbles, looking down awkwardly.

I chew my lip, "Have you tried talking to him?"

She laughs aloud. "How am I meant to bring that up? It's just easier if I leave it and let the chips fall where they may…"

"No!" Midna shouts, "You can't! You and Dark are meant to be!"

She shrugs. "Maybe, maybe not…"

"No!" Midna shouts again, "That's just not good enough!" She rips open the pantry door, taking me by the wrist and pulling me out. "Dark! Get over here!"

He looks over, a little confused, but saunters over, looking a little concerned. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, at least, it will be in a minute…" Midna mumbles, looking down. "There's some stuffing mix right up on the top shelf of the pantry that I can't reach, could you get it down for me?"

And suddenly I realise what she's doing. Link and Sheik watch in silence, unsure as to what's happening as Dark wanders into the pantry.

"Where did you say it was?" He shouts, and suddenly Midna grabs the door handle, slamming the door shut after him. She twists the pantry key in its lock and then quickly pockets it, smirking.

"MIDNA!" Dark shouts, as Link, Sheik, and I begin to cackle with laughter.

"MIDNA OPEN THIS DOOR!" Saria screeches.

But Midna just smirks. "Not until you come out here and tell me where your relationship is going… and I have to like your answer!"

Dark sighs, "Midna, it's Christmas! Just open the door and we'll celebrate together!"

"Not until I'm satisfied!" Midna says between her giggles.

Link and Sheik run over, their faces alight with laughter. "Did I miss something?" Link asks, frowning.

"Nothing for you to worry about," I say, giggling as I give him a quick kiss on the cheek, before turning to Midna. "Right, should we get started on that turkey?"

Loud banging can be heard as Dark and Saria thump on the pantry door, but Midna completely ignores it. "Sounds like a good idea!" She says, looping her arm into mine as we walk towards the kitchen.

"Ooh! Can I help?" Sheik pipes up.

"NO!"


"I have to say girls," Link says, circling the table as he lays down glasses, "This dinner smells amazing."

"Absolutely! I really REALLY want turkey now!" Sheik adds, putting knives and forks in everyone's spot.

"You better have a mighty good appetite!" Midna says, slicing up the last of the Turkey. "Ok! I think we're ready to go!"

"Yes!" Sheik exclaims, doing a mini celebration as he plonks himself into his seat. "I am starving!"

Suddenly, from the pantry across the room, a loud knocking can be heard. "Midna…" comes Dark's voice.

"Yeah?" Midna calls out, laying the turkey in the centre of the table.

"We've come to a decision," he says.

She pulls the key from her pocket, sauntering over. "And?"

Saria sighs, "We've decided to take things slow…"

Midna smiles, seemingly satisfied with that decision as Link continues to bring dishes of food over to put on the table. She carefully slips the key into the lock, and pulls the door open to reveal Dark and Saria holding hands, smiling. Saria runs over to the table, grabbing the bottle of wine and pouring a glass for everyone. Dark smiles, turning to Midna, taking her by the wrist. "Thank you… Midna."

She smiles, "It's my job!"


"Ok, ok! Present time!" Saria sings in a high pitched voice, clapping her hands eagerly. "Ok, me first…" she rummages through a large cardboard box, pulling out presents and handing them out to everyone. All of the gifts are neatly wrapped in red shiny paper and each has a small tag reading "Merry Christmas! Love Saria xx".

I carefully pull the wrapping paper apart, being careful not to tear it, whilst the boys all rip it apart, tossing torn paper to the floor. I then pull out the present, unfolding a stunning long white cotton dress with embroidery all along the top and hem.

I smile, "Thank you Saria! I love it!"

I carefully glance around me at all the other gifts, a laptop case for Midna, a shirt for Sheik, a guitar stand for Dark, and a wallet for Link.

"Me next!" I grin, running into my bedroom. I quickly grab the large paper bag holding all the gifts and dash back in, handing them out to everyone. I watch in eager anticipation as my friends all open the boxes. I bought a bath set for Saria, jewellery for Midna, a remote controlled helicopter for Sheik and a CD player for Link. I listen joyfully to the chorus of thank you's, and hug each of my friends in turn.

As each of us takes turns handing out gifts, I find myself overwhelmed by my amazing friends. Sheik gives me a 'How I Met Your Mother' box set, seasons one to five, and Midna gives me a Taylor Swift CD.

Link hands out his gifts to everyone, but I can't help but notice that I don't get one… I decide not to mention it, but he takes my hand, and says, "I've got you something really special… but I think I should wait to give it to you until everyone else has given out their gifts, ok?" I nod, but the curiosity is seeping through my mind. What could he have got me?

Once everyone else has handed out their gifts, Dark rummages under the Christmas tree, pulling out his presents for everyone and handing them out. I carefully unwrap my gift to reveal a recipe book. I smile and thank him, watching as he passes everyone else their gift. I'm watching Saria unwrap her present, when suddenly she stops still, watching Sheik.

"Link…" She whispers, frantically tapping him on the shoulder.

"What?" He queries, turning around to watch Sheik unwrapping his present, and the moment he sees it, his jaw drops.

"What's going on?" I ask, looking around my in confusion. I glance over at Dark, but he's just as baffled as I am.

"That's… that's… that's mine!" Link says, pointing at the coat Sheik holds in his hands, his present from Dark.

"What? No!" Dark says, "I bought it a couple of weeks ago just for Sheik!"

"GO LINK, GO!" Saria says, pushing Link up from his seat. He grabs the coat from Sheik, fumbling through the pockets.

"Umm… excuse me, what are you doing?" Dark asks, clearly a little miffed about the whole situation.

Link grins as he pulls a small box from the pocket of the coat, his entire face alight. "Aha!"

"Where the hell did that come from?" Dark asks, the confusion clear in his expression.

"You're kidding me!" Sheik stutters, "That's the coat you lost? Dark had it all along!"

"Had WHAT all along?" Dark says, looking around him hurriedly. "What's going on here?"

Link turns to me; the expression in his face is just pure untamed excitement, his eyes sparkling.

"Do it!" Midna squeals.

And that's when I feel all eyes in the group turn to me as Link stands before me, holding that tiny box in his hands. I feel my face begin to heat up as everyone watches; Saria squeezing Dark's hand… why is she so nervous?

"Zelda…" Link mutters, "I love you, I have loved you for a long time, ever since we first meant… I tried to ignore it because you were Sheik's little sister… but I never could…"

"Link, where are you going with this?" I ask, but there's a tiny little bubble of hope inside of me… he couldn't be… could he?

"Just… let me speak… Ganon was right… I mean, at least, what he said about me was right. He said I didn't want the two of you to get together because I wanted you for myself, and though I tried to kid myself… he was right! I wanted to be with you Zelda! I still do… only now I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Is that, how you feel too?"

"Of course it is…" I whisper.

"So…" He says, stooping down onto one knee, "Zelda Harkinian, would you do me the honour of becoming Zelda Faron?"

I stare at him in silence, I swear to the Goddess's it feels like my heart beat just stopped. I can't believe it; he wants me to marry him? My mind is a blur with images of a white dress and tuxedo's and a big church. Sheik as a best man and Dark a ring bearer, Midna and Saria as bridesmaids… two golden wedding rings and a car with tin cans tied to the back and a sign that reads "Just married!".

"Zelda… Zelda?" Suddenly I'm snapped back to reality by my brother calling my name. He stares at me, a frown heavy on his brow. I glance down at Link, his face creased with concern… how long was I day dreaming? I smile to myself, because I already know my answer…

"Of course I'll marry you!"
