I had this whole plan about writing a couple of other stories before I moved onto the sequel for A Holiday At Lake Hylia so I started working on others but I couldn't stop thinking of ideas for this sequel! I couldn't wait to write it, and then I realised that there was no reason why I shouldn't start writing this sequel now! I'll do the other stories later but I was just too excited and didn't want to wait and not be enthusiastic about it anymore. And honestly, I was also really deeply moved by all the reviews on the last chapter, it was really amazing to see how many of you wanted a sequel and you were all so kind to me and really supportive! Thank you all so much, I hope you all like it :)

Also thanks to the reviewer Nick for all the ideas for this story! And to Princess Zelda-figure skater for beta reading! Thank-you :)


"Oh look at my little girl, all grown up!" Her mother says, cupping Midna's heart shaped face in her hands, "I'm going to miss you so much, but I know this is for the best, you're going to be famous one day I just know it!"

"Please!" Midna says, brushing her hands away, "I'm going to uni! I'll be back at Christmas and I promise I'll call you!"

Link, Zelda, and Sheik clamber out of the car, smiling at Midna.

"Midna!" Zelda says, running over, the two girls join in a big hug, rocking from side to side. "I've missed you so much!"

"I missed you too!" Midna says, her eyes locked on Sheik, eventually the best friends break apart, Midna makes her way over to Sheik slowly, smiling shyly.

"Hi Midna, I missed you."

"I missed you too," She smiles, and he locks her in a tight hug.

He leans in, whispering in her ear, "Better not kiss you in front of your folks, we'll save that for later," He gives a cheeky smile.

She smiles back and they pull apart, making their way back over to Midna's parents, Sheik smiles at Midna's dad, "You must be Mr Shard, my name's Sheik."

"Pleased to meet you Sheik…" He mutters, he takes Sheik's hand, shaking it stiffly; Sheik swallows as the bones crack in his knuckles.

"Wow, that's a handshake!" Sheik says, laughing nervously, "Let me get those cases for you Midna."

"I'll help," Says her brother, Lukas, putting his Nintendo down on the wooden picnic bench, grabbing Midna's second, smaller, case.

The two of them begin loading them into the trunk, and Lukas sighs, turning to look at Sheik "You seem like a cool guy, but seriously, if you ever hurt my little sister, if she sheds so much as a single tear, if I ever find her broken hearted because of you, I swear to Din, Nayru, and Farore that I will kick your ass, Sheikah or no Sheikah."

Sheik stares at Lukas for a moment, before giving an affirmative nod. "Message understood."

"Good."

Sheik carefully closes the trunk, and a Link's voice rings out from behind him, "You ready to go Sheik?"

"Yeah sure, castle town, here we come!" Sheik says, laughing.

Midna's mother sniffs, dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief, "Promise me you'll call me when you get there?"

"I promise!" Midna says, she kisses her mother and father and gives her brother a quick hug, "I'll see you all at Christmas!"

They all clamber into the car and Midna leans forward, "Drive Link, drive!"

Link laughs and steps on the gas, sending the car surging down the drive.


"Right…" Link says, climbing into the car, closing the door behind him, "we've got… one decaff…"

"Oh that's me!" Midna says, raising her hand a little, she reaches out and takes the hot waxed card cup from Link's hands.

"One raspberry tea," He says, handing it to Zelda. "And this must be your coffee Sheik," He passes Sheik his coffee and takes a sip from his own cup of tea. He then produces a white paper bag, rolled over at the top.

"What's that?" Zelda asks.

"I got us some cookies," He says, unravelling the bag and holding it out, everyone dives in for a cookie, Link frowns, tilting the bag to look inside.

"I ordered four…" He mumbles.

"Sorry…" Sheik says, his mouth full, he holds out a second cookie to Link, making Midna giggle, Link takes it, rolling his eyes though he grins at the same time.

"So how far exactly is the house from the university?" Midna asks.

"It's a ten minute walk from the campus," Link says, sipping his tea.

"Why didn't we just stay in the dorms?" Zelda asks.

"Uhh hello!" Sheik says, through a mouthful of cookie, "I'm not at the university; they wouldn't have let me in!"

"Yeah, and it's not fair to make him live alone, we came to castle town together, we stay together," Link says, smiling at Zelda.

"So," Midna says, grinning excitedly, "What did your parents make of you two being together?" Midna asks.

"Well let's just say I didn't get any peace and quiet from Link's little sister!" Zelda says, laughing.

"Well if it makes you feel better my dad's not happy I'm dating a Sheikah!" Midna says, arms crossed.

"Really?" Sheik asks, "That explains it…"

"Yeah, he's always wanted me to marry as he puts it 'A charming young Twili boy' so he wasn't happy."

"I'm charming!" Sheik says, arms out.

"Yeah, you're a real ray of sunshine," Link says, laughing.

"Are you kidding? I can turn on the charm when I want to!"

"Uh-huh, suuuuure," Zelda says, grinning.

"So Link!" Sheik says loudly, "Has she let you… play her harp if you know what I mean?"

"SHEIK!" Zelda screams.

Midna cackles with laughter and Link sucks his lips into his mouth, trying his best not to laugh.

"What?" Sheik says, "I'm only asking!"

"Well don't!" Zelda says, huffily crossing her arms, "I knew you'd be as disgusting here as you were on holiday!"

"Oh come on Zelda" Sheik says, grinning, "Don't pretend you don't love it!"

"Can we just go?" She asks, ramming her cup into the plastic cup holder in the door.

"Right, sure…" Link says, changing gears so he can pull the car out of the service station.

"Link…" Sheik mutters, staring out of the window, "I'm bored…"

"Come on!"


After a long night at a hotel just outside of Castle Town, in the early afternoon Link pulls the car into the driveway of 64 Ludo drive, just a few blocks away from the university campus.

"This is it," He mutters. "Our home for the next year at least!"

"Ooh!" Midna says, pushing the door open so she can clamber out to have a look at i.t

"Zelda, hey Zelda, wake up! We're here!" Link says, turning around to look at her, but she's asleep in her chair, her head leaning to the side, Link smiles to himself, he climbs out of the car, carefully opens Zelda's door and takes her limp body in his arms, bridal style, smiling as she sleeps peacefully. Sheik clambers out to join Midna.

"This house looks awesome! Open her up Link!"

"Oh… keys are in my pocket…" he says, looking down at Zelda, "Here, just take Zelda a minute…"

"I've got a better solution," Sheik says, smiling.

"Not like last time…" Link says, backing up.

"No! Link, what do you take me for?!" Sheik says, looking shocked and harmed.

"Sorry..." Link mutters, stepping closer to Sheik, who grins, flicking Zelda across the nose, startling her awake, Link sighs.

"Sheik!" Zelda says, yawning, "If I'm asleep don't wake me up!"

Link gently strokes her back comfortingly as he pulls the keys from his pocket, throwing them to Sheik; he gives Zelda a hug to cheer her up. Sheik makes his way over to the door, slipping the key into the lock to push it open. He leads Midna, Link, and Zelda into the hallway of their house. A stair case stands to the right leading up to the upper floor, a long corridor leads down to a kitchen diner, and a door to the right opens up to reveal the living room.

"Wow… look at this place…" Midna says, grinning as she runs into the kitchen. "Hey look! The landlord left a chocolate cake on the table for us!"

"AWESOME!" Sheik says, grinning, running over to the table.

"Ok," Zelda says, making her way into the kitchen, she begins rummaging through the drawers, and pulls out a large knife, "Let me slice it up."

Link carefully closes the front door whilst Zelda cuts the cake into slices, Sheik grins, grabbing the biggest one, Zelda raises her eyebrows, "I was going to get plates but something tells me Sheik doesn't need one!"

Sheik gives her a chocolaty smile and she begins rummaging through the cupboard, before pulling out three basic white plates, she hands them out and takes a piece of the chocolate cake, and begins cutting it up with her fork.

"Remember!" She says, turning to Midna and Link, "We've got our university introduction tomorrow, I think every student meets before the head of the university then we split off to meet our teachers and classmates in our seminars, practical's, and supervisions, we have an hour lunch break then we spend the rest of the afternoon exploring campus."

"Thanks for the entire brochure on that Zelda," Sheik grins, swallowing the last of his chocolate cake. "By the way, I won't be here when you get home; it's my introductory day down at the station."

"I'll text you at lunch," Midna says, grinning.

"So what do we want to do for dinner tonight?" Link asks, biting into his slice of cake.

"Oh, I'm too tired to cook," Zelda says, collapsing into a chair.

"Let's go for sushi!" Sheik pipes up, grinning, "I saw a cool little sushi bar on the way down here."

"Sounds great!" Midna says.

Link and Zelda finish up their cake, and the four of them grab their jackets, heading out into the streets of an unfamiliar city.

"You know," Midna says, her hands in the pocket of her leather jacket, "I've only ever been to castle town once before."

"I've never been!" Zelda says, shuddering in the cold.

Link wraps his arm around her, huddling her close to keep her warm, "Me either!"

"Guess it's new for all of us," Sheik says.

"So," Midna interjects, "Where exactly is this sushi bar?"
