Author's Note: This is a new idea for a story that I got from Hawkpath of Shadow Clan's It's Never Gonna Happen Right? This takes place in Hyrule and Labryna. The crew does have access to American things. Wiis, DSs, and other video game things made my Nintendo and other companies (except LoZ) are in this story. They do have access to Internet and YouTube, too. Hope you enjoy! Please review!

One Year's Eternity
Chapter 1
Senior year
Nohansen University
August 18, Moving Day
12:46 P.M.
I had packed my things and prepared myself for the worst. My taxi cab dropped me off in front of the registration. I had moved from Labryna College to come to Nohansen University. I made the decision myself; my mom was dead and my father a drunkard. I was an only child, so I had no one else to care for but me. In turn, no one cared for me except my friend Nabu, who was still in Labryna.
As I walked up to the registration table, I situated my duffle full of music and video games behind me. I was pulling my lavender and salmon suitcase across sidewalks full of crying families. The moms falling apart to see their grown sons go, the ditzy girls who's dads were giving money. Then I got to the table.
"Name," said the lady in a rude voice.
"Zelda Harp," I replied.
"Z… Harp? You're a Harp?" she asked lowering her cat-eye glasses.
I lowered my head into a nod. My light brown hair loosely fell over my shoulders and in front of my face.
My father wasn't just a drunk; he was a world renowned criminal.
He had worked with Onox. Onox wouldn't have been able to complete his plans without my father's help.
"Don't worry; I'm all my mom," I said in a reassuring voice.
"You're lucky I'm trustworthy," she said with a smile.
That's when she straightened up so I could see her name tag.
She was none other than Genin Dragmire. Ganondorf's daughter.
She hunched back over before anyone else could see the tag. She handed me a piece of paper with my dorm room number on it.
"Dorms are that way," she said, pointing to the second largest building on campus. I nodded and grabbed my suitcase. I promised myself that what I couldn't pack in my suitcase and duffle bag was being left with Nabu.
More crying and hugging families blocked the path to the dorms. I saw a couple who were on their own, but talking to their parents on the phone. I reached in my duffle and pulled out my MP3 player. I plugged in my earphones to listen to what came on. The first song up was "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri.
I walked on. The walk to the dorms took a little less than three minutes, what with all the people in the way. When I got to the door, the song changed to "Anything But Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne. I walked on and took one earbud out.
"Paper with registration," said a strict, deep voice.
I handed a huge, Goron of a man my paper.
He looked down at my paper. "Harp? It's been a while since I heard that name," he said in a booming voice. He said it loud enough so that the whole room could hear him. Everyone looked at me with judging eyes. I put up my hair curtain.
"Room 987 is up eight floors and down the hallway to the left. It'll be a long walk," he said.
Once he gave my paper back, the song changed. This time it was "Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. That put a small smile on my face. I mouthed the words on the way to the elevator.
I stepped in along with a girl with orange hair and a luggage cart. The person that was in the elevator had obviously dyed her hair green.
"Up?" she asked, as if you could go down. "I'm Saria Iri." She had a forest green suitcase and two tubs.
"Marin Sands," said the orange haired girl. "Seventh floor, thanks."
"No prob. Hey, you with the earbuds. What's your name?" Saria asked.
I looked up to see both girls staring at me.
"Zelda," I said quietly.
"Is there a last name that goes with that?" Saria egged on.
"H-Harp," I said, barely audible.
"Harp? Like, Saras Harp?" Marin asked with a shocked look on her face.
"Don't worry. I'm nothing like my dad. I'm all Mom's side," I said for the second time that day.
"Good. We don't want winter at the end of summer," Saria joked.
"And I don't want to be a kid again!" Marin added.
They both laughed. The elevator dinged. Seventh floor.
"This is my stop!" Marin said, adjusting her cart. "Room 764."
"See you," Saria said as the elevator closed behind Marin.
"What floor you going to?" Saria asked, pressing the '8' button.
"Nine," I said.
She pushed the '9'. "Well, I'm one floor down in Room 882," she said. "Holler if you need anything."
"I'm sure I won't," I said as she got out at the eighth floor. Just as she was leaving, a tall, dusty-haired boy walked in. He was wearing a "Nohansen Warriors" shirt and jeans.
"You new? I haven't seen you before," he said in a friendly voice.
"Yeah. Senior. You?" I replied, trying my best to be kind.
"Same. I'm Link."
"Zelda."
"Nice. What floor?"
"Nine."
"Same. Right hallway, though. Boy's side."
"Of course."
The elevator dinged right as my song changed. "Ignorance" by Paramore. I still had one earbud out, and the volume was loud enough that Link could hear it.
"I love that song," he said getting out.
"You know 'Ignorance'?" I asked. "Almost no one knows that song!"
"Are you saying I'm no one?"
"Not at all," I said stepping out of the elevator.
"Later," he said heading down the right hallway.
I replied with two fingers up. I turned and looked for 987.
It was near the end of the hallway. I knocked on the door to see of anyone was in there.
"Roomie?" a voice called through the door.
"I guess," I replied.
A girl with dark skin opened the door. She had a scar covering half of her face. Her bright, green eyes glowed mischievously. She was wearing a black tank top and red lace leggings.
"Midna Twili. Sup?" she greeted, leaning against the doorframe.
"Not much. Zelda Harp," I said, comfortable to be in the presence of another criminal's daughter.
"Ah, so shadow meets the seasons, huh?" she laughed.
"Just let me in!" I said.
"Fine, fine. No need to be pushy."
I walked in to see that Midna had hooked up a TV and was currently playing a round of Super Smash Bros. on her Wii U. (AN: AGAIN, NO LOZ CHARACTERS ARE PLAYABLE! There are no Assists, stickers, or levels are from the series either.)
"Final Destination?" I asked competitively.
"You're on!" she said, slamming the door.
I grabbed a controller and she grabbed the Game Pad. I chose my normal character, Fox McCloud. She chose to fight as Greninja.
I beat her every time.
"How?!" she asked after the eleventh time.
"This is how I spent my free time in Labryna. This and listening to music," I told her.
"I bet Labryna is better than the damn Twilight Realm. There's nothing to do there! Dad's been demolished, and I never met my mom, so I'm alone," she said with a solemn look.
"I know how you feel," I said. "Mom died when I was little, and Dad is a constant drunkard," I said.
"Well, where are we going to go for breaks?" she asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"I guess we're going to have to meet some new friends," I said.
The one thing I was terrible at.
.
August 19, 9:47 A.M.
"You wanna go to IHop?" Midna asked when I woke up. "The cafeteria doesn't open until tomorrow, so we have to get our own breakfasts."
"What's IHop?" I asked, still tired.
"You haven't been to IHop?! You haven't lived if you haven't gone there! C'mon, and get dressed!" she said, half screaming.
I got out of my bed and dug into the dresser. I had taken everything in my suitcase and duffle bag and put it somewhere on my side of the room the night before. I grabbed my "This Princess Saves Herself" shirt and a pair of jeans. Midna was wearing a tuxedo tee and shorts. We were both wearing Converse, mine grey and purple high-tops, hers black One Stars.
We got ready and went down to the elevator.
When we got there, there were three boys waiting for the elevator to come up. One of the boys was Link.
"Hey, Zelda!" he called down the hall.
I smiled, clearly embarrassed.
"You've met Link?" Midna whispered in my ear.
I nodded yes.
We got to the elevator. Midna fist-bumped one of the other two guys. "Zelda, this is Mikau and Beck. (AN: You'll get the name in a second.) You already seem to know Link," she told me.
"We ran into each other last night," Link told her. The elevator dinged after he was done with his sentence.
We each filed in, Link in last. He pushed the button for ground level.
Mikau Zora was a tall, lanky boy. He had sharp green eyes and blonde, emo-ish hair, the flip dyed powder blue. He was wearing a swim team shirt and long shorts. He had green and blue sandals to finish it.
Beck Line was a different story. He had coal black eyes and long black hair with red streaks pulled into a ponytail. He had a "Tomahawk Chop is My Death Blow" shirt and black jeans. With Cargo boots to match, he looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.
"Where are you two going?" Link asked me.
"I am educating her," Midna said. "She's never been to IHop."
"What?!" Mikau exclaimed. "I go to IHop almost every day! How have you not been there?" he asked.
"I live in Labryna," I told him. "We don't have many restaurants there."
"Poor you," Beck said.
Midna inched closer to Beck while he wasn't looking. Link saw, but didn't say anything.
"Where are you going?" I asked Link.
"We were just going to drive around and see what we wanted to eat. Lon Lon?" he asked the guys.
"IHop?" Mikau protested.
The elevator dinged and opened.
"Well," said Midna, "whatever you decide on, have fun."
"Make sure she orders something good," Link told Midna.
"Is there anything at IHop that isn't good?" Mikau asked jokingly.
We laughed and went on our way.
Midna was about to whistle for a cab.
"You need a ride? It's cheaper," said Link.
"So, are you guys going to IHop?" she asked.
Link looked at Mikau and Beck. Mikau had a hopeful look on his pale face.
"I guess so," Link said with a sigh.
"Okay then," Midna said. "We all pitching in for the tab?"
We all agreed and got into Link's car.
"Link," I said, "can I ask you something?"
"Depends on what it is," he said, not taking his eyes off the road.
"I never asked you what your last name was."
Mikau looked back at Beck from the front seat with worried eyes. Midna went silent as she lowered her head.
"I wouldn't know the answer," he said. "Sorry."
"So, you don't have a last name?" I asked.
"Not for as long as I've lived," he said. "Now, what's yours? You never told me."
"Link," Midna raised her head to talk, "you know how that idiot Zant is my dad?"
"Yeah," he answered.
"Well, Zelda here also has an infamous parent," she said.
"Well, who is it?" Beck asked.
"My dad is… Saras Harp," I said slowly.
"No way!" Link said. "You're joking!"
Beck had an astonished look on his face. Mikau was frozen with shock.
"Nope!" I said. "My father is the drunkard genius who helped Onox. But don't worry; I'm not evil."
"Darn," Beck mumbled.
We pulled up to a blue and white building. Midna grabbed my hand and ran. I almost fell flat on my face.
She opened the door and held it open for us. We had to be the strangest group to ever step foot in the place. Midna walked up to a lady at a podium with a list of names.
"Table for five," she told the lady. "College students."
"Name?" the lady asked politely.
"Twili," Midna said.
The lady gave her a strange look.
We were called to our table.
.
"So, how was it?" Mikau asked when we left.
"That was the best French toast I've ever had!" I said.
"Told you," Midna said with a smirk.
We made our way back to campus just in time for Din, Nayru, and Farore.
