Full Summary: It has been a year since the hero saved Hyrule, and all seems well for its inhabitants. However, the peace cannot last and signs that evil is once again brewing turn up.

How long can they fight when life has turned against them? How long can a boy's heart endure the trials in his life, the destiny placed upon him, and the things she's done to him?

Hello there! Welcome to my silly story, the sequel to And She Waited! This is a continuation of those adventures. This story could stand alone, but if you want to know why things are the way they are, maybe reading ASW first would be helpful (but I understand it's long, so I could send you a summary if you were really interested). :3

Anyway, this sequel is a bit different from the first, perhaps slightly more linear and focused. It's slightly angsty, slightly random, slightly weird, totally…crazy. XD

I do hope you enjoy! If you have any questions or comments, criticisms, feel free to send them to me. :) I'd love to hear from you.

Look What She's Done

Prologue ("Such Great Heights" – The Postal Service)

She stood atop the stone wall that stretched across part of the field, her eyes closed. She imagined how it had been throughout the year, how she had endured the heat of the summer time and seen the first snow fall upon the vast field. She thought how pure the world was as a breeze blew her hair. How peaceful, how utopian…well, obviously there were conflicts, but nothing bad. Nothing requiring the might of their hero, only the prowess and expertise of their wonderful queen, the Queen of Hyrule.

She opened her eyes, spinning around in a circle, turning to face him. He sat at the end of the wall, absently petting Liam, her giant dog.

Their eyes locked and they smiled.

"Wonder what Miss Queen Zelda is up to," she said.

And as with Hylian law, she became queen through the only way possible. Luke, a former spy, proposed to her in the winter of last year, and although it was an unusual and seemingly sudden move, Zelda predictably accepted with more excitement than anyone she'd ever seen.

"I'm still wondering how he had her in front of his eyes for years and never knew it was her." Zelda and Luke were like the family the two frolicking in the field didn't have, their brother and sister. The boy had never known a family, no one but his cousin. The girl knew and loved her family, but was torn far from them, and the thought of it still haunted her.

If she couldn't have them, he was all she needed. They were conjoined, sharing a vital organ: their heart.

"Only Luke would be this ridiculously awesome CIA spy secret agent dude and not know the boy he was in love with was actually the princess he would end up marrying in the super awesome future."

He laughed. His cheeks turned red very slightly. She looked down at him from the wall, tilting her head to the side, wondering why he was blushing. He just looked up at her and grinned a toothy grin.

"I love you, Link," she said seriously. He held his hand out to her with a smile. She skipped forward, about to take it…

But then she jumped down to the ground, her arms out, and yelled, "Liam!"

The dog jumped up, racing around her. She pretended to be a monster, following him with outstretched fingers at head height. The dog assumed a playful pose, his butt up in the air, growling lovingly. She raced forward and tackled him, falling to the grass with the ball of fur.

"But I think you love him more than you love me," he said in his language, in Hylian. She lifted her head to look at him, knowledge in the crinkles at the edges of her eyes.

"That's totally true," she responded, slowly, surely, in his language. She had a heavy accent, unable to completely duplicate the articulate sounds that formed the Hylian language. But it had only been a year. Exactly one year to the day. He thought it was remarkable, her drive to learn.

"Ah, help me! There's a monster eating me!" she yelled of the calm dog sitting, panting, and drooling beside her.

He stood, going to them, petting the dog roughly but gently, causing him to run off in a circle around them.

He kneeling to the ground beside her, putting his arm over her, his face near hers.

"I love you, Meghan. I will forever, and I will always protect you."

"I totally coulda handled it," she joked.

Thank you for reading! :)
