Hello all! Thank you so much for reading my newest fanfic! I had some ideas and I received others (Thanks Esparia!) for this story. I figured I'd go ahead and write it! Naturally, the main idea came from a dream. XD Now read on for the story! Also, this story is modern AU!

Disclaimer: I'm sorry. I hate to break it to ya', but I don't own LoZ. But I do own my dream (can you own dreams? XD) where this story came from!

Chapter 1:

(Zelda's POV)

I packed the last of my clothes in my suitcase. Why was Dad making me do this again? Why?

"Zelda! Midna's at the door for you!" my father called from downstairs.

"Already? One moment please!" I called back down, zipping up my suitcase. I found the brochure for the camp and shoved it in my pocket for closer examination later. I quickly grabbed my suitcase and backpack, then ran downstairs to find that Midna actually was at the door.

"Middie!" I called out, running over to give her in a hug.

"Zellie!" she called back, returning the embrace. We laughed at our old nicknames for a second.

"Why are you here so early?" I asked, curiously. My orange haired friend smiled mischievously.

"I figured you would want to go get some smoothies before we went to the camp!" Midna explained, full of energy. I felt a huge grin cross my face.

"You bet! At least now I have something to look forward to!" I replied. My dad grabbed me by my shoulders and spun me around to face him.

"Zelda, I think this camp will be a great experience for you! You'll make lots of new friends and who knows? There might even be some guys that'll catch your attention for once!" Dad said laughing.

"Dad!" I cried out embarrassed. My father always did his best to embarrass me in front of my friends. Especially when it was about boys.

You see, I'm not exactly your stereotypical sixteen year old girl. I'm not your stereotypical stupid, giggling blonde either. I'm probably one of the only girls who doesn't care whether her shoes match her shirt or whether that cute guy likes your hair. Honestly to me, all boys are the same: Stupid, annoying little brats that always think they're better than you. Either that or they're Link Avalon wannabes.

My father started talking again, snapping me back to reality. "I'm kidding Zelda! I know you're not that kind of girl! Besides, your much to young for boys anyways!" Dad started laughing some more. I rolled my eyes. I was sixteen for crying out loud! It's not that I was too young for them, it's just that they're all the same!

Midna started laughing with my father. "Well," I said interrupting their laughter, "At least I haven't spent years and years ogling over the same guy!" Midna's face immediately dropped and turned beat red.

"It's not my fault he's so darn irresistable!" she cried out. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah right! Are we going or what?" I asked, changing the subject. Midna nodded and opened the door.

"Bye Dad!" I called back to my dad.

"Bye Zel-Bell!" he yelled back. Midna and I walked out of my house and both ran over to her car. It was a nice black Prius, a gift from her parents when they found out she passed her driving test without actually killing anyone.

I hopped in the front seat and turned the radio on. Some random song was playing when as we left and I decided to strike up a conversation.

"So Midna, are you excited for this camp, or what?" I asked with fake enthusiasm.

"Or what," she replied with a slight grin on her face. I rolled my eyes but still smiled.

"This is so stupid! I can't believe my dad is making me go to this! I'm glad that I was able to drag you along though!" I told Midna.

She smiled, her eyes focused on the road. "What kind of best friend would I be if I didn't?" she asked in response. Remembering the brochure, I pulled it out of my pocket.

"'Camp Happy Triforce Friends: A teen camp where you can learn more about the triforce and history of Hyrule, while making new friends! There is fun and games and much, much more,'" I read in my best infomercial voice.

Midna snorted as she heard that. "Sounds more like a camp for six year old," she said, snickering. I rolled my eyes, but laughed and agreed with her.

"Come on! I just want my smoothie!" I told Midna.

~~~~~(Time skip! :P)~~~~~

After we got our smoothies (which may have made the whole trip worth it) we finally arrived at the stupid camp. Midna and I walked around the camp grounds, until one of the leaders gave us our lanyards with a map, schedule, and our room number attached to it.

"We'll be meeting in the mess hall in about an hour. Everyone who has arrived is already down there, so once you've put your stuff down, feel free to join us!" the leader said with a smile that looked way too big to be on her face. Midna and I did a little more wandering until we found our cabin (number five) and walked inside.

Our cabin turned out to be a small wooden room with three bunk beds along the three of the walls and on the fourth wall was a fireplace and the door. We found an unoccupied bunk bed and I claimed the top, so Midna got the bottom. All the other beds had suitcases on them except for one, which was probably the only bunk available.

"So do you wanna go to the mess hall for the "Get-to-Know-You" activity, or do you wanna explore, until the activity is about to start?" Midna asked. I really didn't feel like waltzing around the mess hall for an hour, so I decided we should explore.

"Hold on," I said. "Let me grab my backpack and put some things in there." I sorted out things from my suitcase and bag, taking a little longer than I planned on. Just as I was grabbing my first aid kit to put in my backpack, the door opened. I turned my head to see who it was. A young girl with blonde hair stepped inside. She was wearing a blue sundress that matched her ocean blue eyes.

"Is there an open bunk?" the girl asked shyly. I gave her a friendly smile and pointed to the unoccupied bunk across the room from me.

"Thank you," she said softly, giving a slight smile. I smiled back at her. "My name's Zelda and the girl on the bunk below me is Midna. We're both sixteen. What's your name and how old are you?" I asked, curiously. I hoped I didn't scare her too much with all my talking.

At the sound of my name a look of some sort of emotion crossed the girls face, (recognition, perhaps?) but it quickly faded and she smiled. "My name's Aryll and I'm fourteen. It's nice to meet you!" Aryll plopped down her suitcase onto her bed.

"So Aryll, we were going to explore the camp grounds and we would like it if you came with us, wouldn't we Midna?" I said, cuing for Midna to speak up. She's not usually so quiet. "Midna? Are you there?" I climbed down the bunk bed and saw that Midna had her eyes closed and earbuds in, lying down.

I knew I would regret it, but I pulled out one of Midna's earbuds and told her it was time to explore. Midna have me a really scary death glare, but got up anyways. She saw Aryll across the room.

"Who's she?" Midna asked in a very blunt manner. Now it was my turn to give a death glare. I opened my mouth to speak, but Aryll beat me to it.

"I'm Aryll! I'll be in this cabin with you guys! I'm fourteen years old, though because I'm short people always think I'm younger. Zelda told me that you guys were exploring the camp site and invited me along," Aryll explained. Midna nodded her head, grabbed her stuff, and walked out the door without us.

"You're going to have to exuse my friend there. She may seem really rude at first, but once you get to know her she's amazing! Being rude to new people is like her way of being shy," I explained to Aryll.

Aryll gave a soft laugh. "I understand! My brother is similar! Except he's better at meeting new people now though! He told me a story about how when he was in third grade he met a new girl in his class and he started to like her. He said that the girl liked him too and they were "dating", but one day they got into a big argument and she slapped him. He claims now that he didn't even knkw what they were arguing over! Anyways, he said they "broke up" and he blames his rudeness on that incident!"

I laughed at Aryll's story about her brother. "You're lucky to have a brother. I'm an only child," I explained. Aryll smiled at me and started to get excited.

"My brother is at this camp too! He's also sixteen! I think you'd really like him once you get to know him!" the fourteen year old said cheerily. "We better go find Midna though! I'll introduce you to my brother at the activity later!" We started walking around in search of Midna.

I couldn't help but wonder if my new little friend was already trying to play match-maker. Anytime Midna tried to set me up, things wouldn't work out. Maybe things would work out with Aryll's brother though. Maybe he is the one guy that things will work well with. Maybe he is really nice, and funny, and cute... Snap out of it Zelda! You're not that kind of girl!

I saw Midna sitting on a rock by one of the lakes, skipping stones. I ran up to her as fast as I could with Aryll right behind me.

"Midna!" I cried out to her.

"Zelda," she replied with much less enthusiasm. She had a bored look on her face, yet somehow had this aura about her that made me feel like she was plotting on how to murder me. All I did was make a new friend!

I shook my head when I reached her. "You can't go running off on your own! Remember the buddy system? That's how it works at this camp!" I explained to Midna. She rolled her eyes in response and let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry I was being a little jerk earlier, I'm just not good at meeting new people," Mdina said, apologizing to Aryll.

Aryll smiled. "S'okay! I was telling Zelda how my brother is the same way. I also told her that he's sixteen, like you guys. Oh! And I said that you should meet him at the activity that's starting soon!" This caught Midna's attention. She was a big flirt when it came to boys. Midna's "I'm-so-bored-I-will-kill-you" aura disappeared and she visibly perked up.

"Is your brother cute?" Midna asked Aryll. I brought my face into my hands. That's a stupid question to ask about someone's sibling!

Aryll furrowed her eyebrows. "Um... How exactly am I supposed to answer that?! He's my big brother for crying out loud!" Aryll said with a small laugh. "You'll meet him at the Get-to-Know-You thingy soon, so you can decide for yourself then!"

Midna looked away, probably embarrassed. I put my hand on her shoulder in a comforting manner. She turned back around with a goofy smile on her face.

Aryll started speaking so I turned to face her. "For the record, I think that my brother would make a really cute couple with Zelda!" Aryll giggled with a mischievous glint in her eyes. It was as if she knew something I didn't. Well I guess she did know her brother...

"Cute couple? That ain't happenin' with ole' Zellie here. She don't do none o' dat datin' stuff" Midna said with a random country accent. Then she changedvber voice back to normal. "But I sure am perfectly available to anyone who catches my eye. Be sure to tell your brother that!" I rolled my eyes at her remarks.

"So how long until this activity starts anyways?" I asked Midna, who had a watch, desperate to change the subject.

"Oh shoot! It's starting in ten minutes!" she replied. Had we really spent that much time outside? There goes exploring... Oh well!

We walked over to the mess hall and opened the door to loud music and a bunch of teens talking and laughing.

"Are you sure this is a camp not a party? Maybe coming here wasn't so bad," Midna said, not-so-discreetly checking out the guy next to us. I rolled my eyes and asked Aryll where her brother was.

"I don't see him here! Oh I hope he's alright! He'll never admit it, but he gets kind of nervous around big groups of people he doesn't know! Let's go find him!" Aryll said grabbing Midna and I by our arms. We dove in and out of crowds of people multiple times until Aryll finally saw her brother. We walked up to a big group of guys.

"Hey big brother!" Aryll called out. There were too many people around, I couldn't tell who it was directed to. I scanned the group of boys, trying to figure it out when I saw an all to familiar face. I turned around quickly, hoping he didn't see me.

"Hey little sis!" I heard someone, Aryll's brother, call back. Who cares about who Aryll's brother is, I wanted to get out of here! All I could think about was the face. It was the face of Link Avalon. The boy who's guts I hated more than words could even describe.

Quickly thinking, I walked over by a new group and tried to blend in, while I was actually trying to sneak out of there unnoticed. Don't notice me. Don't notice me. Please don't notice me! I silently pleaded.

"Hey! Where do you think you're going!" I heard Aryll say as she ran over to me.

"Um, nowhere," I said dumbly staring at my shoes. I couldn't bring myself to look at Link's wretched face.

"Guys, this is my brother-" Aryll started while moving her hand to gesture towards...

"Link?" I interrupted in confusion.

"Zelda?" he questioned in return.

"I'm guessing you two already know each other?" Aryll asked with a huge smile on her face. There again was the mischievous glint in her eyes, as if she knew this would happen all along.

"Um, yeah. We know each other from school," Link said, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

"Great! My new friend is already friends with my big brother!" Aryll cheerily said.

"Um, yeah. Friends," I said through gritted teeth. I felt bad for lying to Aryll, but I didn't want to endanger our new friendship by telling her I hated her brother's guts.

"So because you guys are already friends, I don't have to worry about that! That makes me super happy!" Aryll beamed. Link gave an awkward smile and I bit my lip. Why was this little girl so determined to have us be friends? I looked around for Midna to help me out, but she was no where in sight.

Aryll started talking again, but this time it was aimed more towards Link. "I was telling Zelda earlier that you and her would be such a cute couple! I mean look at the two of you! It would be perfect!" Aryll grinned very widely. This conversation was getting very awkward and it put me in an uncomfortable position. I knew Link was probably feeling the same way. For once we could relate to each other.

Aryll turned towards me. "Oh Zelda you have no idea how much Link has-"

"Aryll! That's enough! If you two just barely became friends you shouldn't be bothering her about this!" Link said cutting her off. I looked up at him to see that his face was bright red and he was obviously embarrassed.

I would never admit it, but I felt kinda sorry for Link. His sister was probably about to blurt something really embarrassing out! It was times like this when I was glad I didn't have any siblings. I will admit this though; I was very curious as to what she was going to say about Link.

Before anything could get anymore awkward I wanted to leave. Maybe I could go find Midna too. "I've got to leave," I curtly stated, walking away. I had no idea where I was going and honestly, I didn't care. I just wanted to get away from Link! Maybe if I tell Aryll later tonight that Link and I hate each other, she won't try to set me up with him.

I kept walking when I saw a sign that said, "Restrooms" and walked inside the girls' one. Hardly anyone was in there so it was a relief to finally be alone for the night. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.

In my reflection I saw the plain old boring Zelda that usually didn't care what others thought of her. She wasn't wearing any makeup making her appearance all the more plain and boring. She was wearing her simple blonde hair in a simple high ponytail. Her average blue eyes were staring back at me. I suddenly felt very self-conscious of all the flaws in my appearance. Why did I suddenly care what I looked like? What did it really matter?

"Zelda, why are you staring at your reflection like that! You know you're gorgeous! What's with the sad face anyways?" a familiar voice to the right of me said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Midna! You ran off! I had no idea where you were! It wasn't very nice of you either! You put me in a very awkward position!" I exclaimed. Midna gave a slight laugh and rolled her eyes.

"Come on Zel! He was there! I freaked! I ran away! I couldn't help it!" Midna replied, reddening a little bit.

"I ran off because of him too, so I shouldn't really be speaking, but he's just one guy! I mean, you're Midna Nightshadow! Possibly the biggest flirt in Hyrule, yet you get flustered over one guy!" I said laughing at her a little bit.

"You're right! You shouldn't be speaking! Especially if it has to do with Link! Ugh! Why does he have to be so darn sexy!" Midna shouted. Everyone else in the restroom stared at her for a second, but then returned to their makeup or whatever they were doing.

"Sexy? Really? I beg to differ! It's more like he has the face of a troll!" I said, snorting a bit. Midna rolled her eyes. Why did my bet friend have to have a crush on my worst enemy? It made things so complicated!

"Admit it, Zel. He is really hot!" Midna said, trying to get me to admit the false.

"Hot? Link? No way! I meant what I said about the face of a troll!" I exclaimed. Midna rolled her eyes and muttered something like, "You're never gonna get a guy and you'll be forever alone if you keep that up," but I ignored the comment and we walked out of the restroom.

"You should probably know this; Link is Aryll's big brother," I told her before we searched for Aryll. Midna's jaw literally dropped.

"No. Freaking. Way!" Midna said, her eyes widening with shock. I smiled a bit at this.

"You know what that means right? Me, you, and our newfound friend all have a connection to the same guy. He's my crush, your sworn enemy, and Aryll's brother," Midna pointed out.

I allowed another smile. "Oh yeah! That is kinda funny!"

We searched around for Aryll and eventually found her talking to Link. She saw us and gestured for us to come over. Midna and I exchanged uneasy glances, but not wanting to be rude, we went ahead.

"Hey Midna! Hey Zelda!" Aryll greeted us. I couldn't help but smile at her perkiness. I contemplated how such an innocent, nice little girl like Aryll was related to that jerk Link! It didn't make sense!

"Hey guys!" I greeted back trying to match Aryll's perkiness. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Link stating at me, but when I turned towards him he was looking away. Strange, I thought.

"I don't know if I can do this!" Midna whispered in my ear. Why did she always get so shy around Link? The only other time she was shy around someone was... never! It's just Link!

"Midna! I you want him, go get him! Show him the bad girl you really are!" I whispered back. She smiled at me and turned towards Aryll and Link.

Midna had a... reputation. And not a good one either. When we were in school, Midna was in trouble 24/7! Whether it was a fist fight or threatening to shove a pencil down someone's throat (true story), Midna was always in trouble. She told me before that the principal had a special area designated just for her in his office. He called it, "Midna's Corner" apparently.

I sighed prepared myself for what probably going to be the worst and most awkward evening of my life. Things were going to be... interesting.

So there you have it! Chapter 1! Kind of long... Whatever! Anyways, what'd ya' think? Was it good? I'd love to hear how I did! I can't get any better unless you review and tell me!

This story is also mainly to help give me more ideas for my other one. I'm still working on that one, but it's coming along a lot... slower. So I thought writing this would help give me new ideas!
