Hey everyone. I'm obviously taking a break on my main story since there hasn't been much activity from it recently. I was thinking, though, and I decided to write this little bit of dribble. There wasn't much of a point to it, but that's never mattered much to me. Credit goes to Poison for the line 'every rose has its thorn', since that's what inspired this, and it comes up. I also don't own anything Zelda related. R&R and tell me what you think.
Keep On Dreaming
Journal Entry #1012
Daddy used to always say that every rose has its thorn. I never knew what he meant until I found a rose of my own. I'm pretty lucky, honestly. Not many people can say they've found something as wonderful as what I have.
My rose is a guy by the name of Link, but he's so much more than just a guy. Link is the one who's out there risking his life to save us all. Hyrule used to be a great kingdom until one day Link disappeared, and then things went downhill fast. I don't think he had anything to do with it, since we were just kids when it happened, but still…Well, Ganondorf took over and then this kingdom took a turn for the worse. I didn't think I'd see Link again after Ganondorf took over the place, and I didn't really think I'd ever see a friendly face again. I didn't think I'd see anything beautiful again, everything was just so dead. Thank the goddesses I was wrong. One day, up out of the dead earth came a rose. I don't know how, and I don't know where from, but Link had come back to Hyrule. I was so happy, you don't even know. Words can't even describe it, and now he's out there doing everything he can to make it all right again.
Like Daddy said, though, every rose has its thorn. Well, this rose has one, too, and its name is Zelda. She's always been a thorn in my side. When we were kids, he'd go on and on about how he'd sneak past the guards at the castle to see her, and it really got on my nerves. I thought, maybe, that when he came back that it'd be different, but I was wrong. He still kept on about Zelda. I guess I understand, though. I mean, he's a hero and she's a princess. It's just like all the stories.
I don't really know where this is going. I guess I just wanted to let it out. I know I shouldn't blame Zelda for being a princess and winning Link's affection, but…well, it doesn't matter. A girl can dream, though, right? I sure hope so, because I'll keep on dreaming. I'll keep dreaming until Link finally comes back to me, even if I die before my dreams come true. Daddy also used to say, 'hope for the best, expect the worse'. I hate to say it, but I think he's right. I mean, let's be serious, Link is a hero. He'll want the princess, not some farm girl like me.
Like I said, though, a girl can dream. A girl can dream…
