Yes, all you peoples wondering. This is another Zelda/Sheik romance. Am I obsessed? Yes. Do I care? no, not really. I count Zelda and Sheik as two different people. Weird, I know, and not how it's supposed to work, but I find it more simple without Zelda's split personalities. But its not like they ever appear in the same room, so thats a good thing, I think.

Sheik was fighting Link and Bowser on the Lylat Cruise. Bowser spun towards her, the spikes on his shell could rip her to shreds. In one swift move, she flipped over the Koopa King and landed behind him, giving him a quick kick to Bowser's undershell, sending him flying off the ship, all of his lives used. Now she just had to defeat Link. He was wearing all green, with a long and drooped hat. Link's hair was blond, like Sheik's. He carried a large sword and sheild, but he also had a large array of hidden weaponry to devastate the enemy.

Sheik saw him running towards her, bomb in hand. Link threw the bomb at her, but she dodged easily, and stuck out a foot to make him trip.

Link watched Sheik dodge his bombs. She was quick and nimble, seeming to be everywhere yet nowhere all at once. He drew an arrow into the bowstring and aimed straight for the ninja's Sheikah eye on her chest. Link's aim was true, but Sheik teleported herself about ten feet above them at the last second, leaving the arrow with nothing to hit.

Link watched Sheik fall behind him, and turned around just in time to see a foot flying towards his face. The Hero of Time blocked the kick and the next array of punches with his hands. He managed to aim and punch at Sheik, but she ducked the blow and returned it with another kick. Link deflected the kick with his shield. He drew his sword and started hacking, pushing Sheik nearer to the edge.

"No fair, Link," Sheik smiled. "I don't have a sword or shield" She silently loaded her gloves with needles, preparing for a Needle Storm. Sheik backed up one more step, smiled again, and then deliberately stepped off the edge.

"Huh?" Link looked down and off the stage, wondering where the ninja went, just to see her leaping back up. Sheik threw her electric chain, and it grabbed the edge of the cruise ship, letting her get up.

Link didn't stand a chance. He slung arrow after arrow, but as he watched, that trickster of a girl just kept dodging the projectiles ever so gracefully. Link was spellbound at the sight of the beautiful ninja, who saw this as an opportunity. She let loose her needle storm, making Link yelp and jump back. Sheik ran at him, fists and feet flying. The Hero of Time could dodge and block some attacks, but he could barely speak at the sight of Sheik's grace and beauty while she was killing him. The way she flipped over Link to come at him from behind and sneaked around him with her tricks and flips just made her seem more amazing.

Do I love her? Link asked himself as he dodged and blocked an armload of kicks and punches. No, of course not. I'm just admiring her fighting skills. (We all know that Link really does love her)

The fight was still going, and neither of them seemed to give or recieve damage. Link sent arrows. Sheik sent needles. Link slashed at Sheik with his sword. Sheik gave him a shock with her electric whip. Using his tether, Link pulled Sheik close, leaving her struggling. He noticed that her eyes were red, literally red. Reddish pink. Like a rose. The rest of Sheik's face was covered by a white silk scarf. Her eyes sparkled, and Link decided she was smiling at him.

"My turn," she whispered in her beautiful, deep voice. Link threw her off to the side, and then she ran in and grabbed him, not to hurt Link but to look a him for a sec.

Oh my god. Sheik thought in amazement. He's gorgeous. And, we must admit, he was. Sheik loved his sharp, pointed features instead of the usual broad and big eyes and noses from other men. But what caught her eye most of all were Link's eyes. Just looking into them made Sheik feel like she was swimming in a sea of forget-me-not blue.

Sheik shook her head, regaining her senses. She took one look at the Hero of Time, sighed, and threw him so high in the air that he lost his last life. Link lost. Sheik won. Sheik taunted, recieving a number of cries from the audience

"Sheik! Sheik! Sheik!" The crowd cheered. Sheik smiled, and went back to the Smash Mansion. Her best friend Samus (Zero Suit) greeted her, and congratulated the ninja.

"You did awesome, Sheik," Samus said. "I mean, I've beaten Bowser many times, but Link? He's tough. That is pretty cool, what you did," Sheik smiled, warmed by her friend's praise.

"Do you know much about him?" Sheik asked, watching the green clad man walk by.

"Who? Link? Nah, not really. He's a great fighter though. I can count on one hand for how many times I've beaten him." Samus held up two fingers. "He's pretty cool, though. Why do you ask?" Samus inquired suspicously.

"Oh, nothing." Sheik replied convincingly. "Just seemed like a neat dude."

"Can you keep a secret?" Samus asked.

"Sure," Sheik said slowly, wondering what was coming next.

"Link is amazing. I think I really like him, 'cause he's really great and all," Samus whispered. "I like him a lot. Like, like-like. Not like. Like-like."

Sheik began to feel upset. Why should she? It was perfectly okay for Samus to like Link. Sheik was fine with it. Why she began to feel envious and annoyed all of a sudden was just her imagination. I don't like Link in that way. Maybe we could be friends. Maybe we could be...More? No! We won't even be friends, if that's what should happen. Sheik couldn't make up her mind. In the end, she decided to just go with the flow and see what happens.

Dinnertime

Sheik stepped into the crowded dining hall of Smash Mansion. She couldn't see an empty seat anywhere. Wait, there was one-oh. It was next to Link. Sheik remembered how Samus had talked about him. But seeing no other options, she walked over and sat down.

"Hey, Sheik!" Link said. "That was a great brawl, wasn't it? Your a great fighter!" Sheik smiled, thanked him, and for once was glad that he did all the talking. Sheik looked around. Link was sitting with Pit, Pokemon Trainer, Snake, and Captain Falcon. Sheik was glad to see that Samus wasn't around so that she wouldn't see her and Link sitting together.

"Sheik, are you going to eat anything at all?" Link asked her. Sheik noticed that the food platters had been passed out already. Kirby, the cheif cook for Smash Mansion, had really outdone himself this time. Platters were filled high with February Special. Valentine's day was less than a week away, making the food all heart related. Most of it was candy, there was a giant heart shaped cake, and every food on the table seemed to have at least 1 heart on it somewhere. Sheik began to dig in hungrily to the goodies.

Sheik was just finishing a heart sugar cookie when Link slipped his hand into hers and held it tightly. Sheik could feel her face turning red. Link pressed a small piece of paper into her hand and she put it in her pocket. Dinner progressed smoothly after that. Snake and Pit had a big argument on who was a better brawler. Sheik found herself enjoying Link and his friend's company more and more.

After dinner, Sheik went upstairs to her room, changed into a long, flowing nightgown, and took her hair out of its braid. Then she remembered the note and fished it out of its pocket to read.

Turn to your left. Turn to your left? Sheik wondered what Link had meant. Anyway, she turned about 90 degrees to her left, and there, on the balcony, was Link.
