Spirit Tracks (Post)

Princess Zelda gleefully looked down on the letter on her bed, clearly written in his handwriting.

I heard you have a day off today, and so do I! I was wondering if you like to go to beach, and if you do, ask a guard to call me, and I'll be right there!

She immediately opened her door to get a guard, when she saw Link standing in the doorway, talking to a guard.

"Link!" she cries, hugging him with all her might, "OH, sorry. "She apologizes, letting go.

"You sure are strong, Princess Zelda!" he says, eyes wide open and blushing of the greeting.

"So, do you wanna go?" he asks, smiling. Zelda nods.

"But first, let me go get my stuff. Singing like a robin, she gets changed in short pink top and blue shorts, and ties her up like Grandma T used to- a bun with two strands let loose by the ears. She puts her swimsuit underneath, grabs a towel, than opens the door. Link looks at her, open-mouthed, but quickly shakes it off, making a few guards giggle, even the mature ones.

"Are you ready, Princess Zelda?" Link asks, grabbing her hand. Zelda smiles.

"Yes, and just call me Zelda!" Zelda says, running off, Link still holding her hand.

Soon after they arrived at the surprisingly empty beach, I and Link arrived at the perfect spot. As I lay my towel down to sit, he takes his shirt and hat off making me blush madly. If only he knew how I felt, but even if he did, we would never be able to make it work, or keep it a secret at least. But

I can't hide my feelings for much longer, so I'll tell him tonight. If he doesn't like me, so be it. I take my top off, and Link turns away respectfully. I laugh, really girly as well.

"Don't be silly, I'm wearing a swimsuit underneath- a girl always comes prepared! "I say, playfully hitting him on the head. After I get changed, we watch the waves for a little.

"RACE TO THE SEA! GO!"I cry, sprinting before Link even knows what's going on.

"Hey! You cheat! REMATCH!" he says, running behind me, panting.

"Woo! I win!" I shout, splashing him, and dancing round.

"Only cause ya cheated! "He smirks, splashing me back. We have a long, long splash fight, until, out of breath, we clamber to the shore.

"Now, that was fiercer than fighting Cole." I say, panting.

"Agreed. "Link answers, his chest rising and falling quicker than a full speed train.

"Come on, "I beckon, "I think we need some lunch!" walking to the basket Link had made from the Royal Kitchen. As we tuck in to some ham sandwiches, I sigh. The boy only thinks me of a friend, doesn't he? He thinks I'm destined to be married to a rich prince, but I want him.

"Hey, Zelda." He says, nudging closer to me, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's just, ever since we first met, I've…I've…I've gotta crush on you. "He stammers, looking away.

"So do I." My answer makes him open his eyes wide in surprise. "Between you and me." I wink.

"Do you know that's how my Nan and Grandad got together? He was the Hero of Winds, ya know. She used to watch over him just in case someone tried to steal her man!" I cry, smiling.

"And I ain't letting anyone steal mine."

As she leans in to kiss, I can't resist. Her soft, pink lips meet mine, and we share a tender kiss.

"Whoa," I say, turning round to the sunset. She turns round as well, and then puts her head on my shoulder, making me blush.

"It's… so beautiful. I never get to see this at the castle." She sighs, holding my hand.

"Not as beautiful as you," I say, earning me a peck on the cheek.

"Come on then," I say, helping her up. "We best get you back."
