Chapter 1: Oops

"As long as the mirror exists, we'll be able to see each other again." Damn it! Why am I giving him this hope? Oh great, now he's smiling at me.

Alright, focus Midna. I know the mirror can't stay; it's too dangerous for both worlds. But I can't just leave him here either! I should at least tell him...tell him what he means to me. Yes, that would be best.

My vision started to blur, as I felt a tear tickle it's way down my face. I wiped the tear onto my finger. This will work.

I cast the spell onto the tear, and slowly cast it towards the mirror. It's too late to change my mind now. Just one thing left to do.

"Link..." I don't want to leave you, but I have too. I hope you'll understand. "I..." What's taking so long? Spit it out! You've held it in long enough!

"See you later." NO! Why did I just say that?! Why couldn't I just tell him?! Three simple words! Now the tear is about to hit the mirror...Damn! Why didn't I give myself more time?! I guess it's time to go, even if I didn't tell him.

I cleared my head and focused my power onto the mirror, ready to fulfill my royal obligations...alone. I mentally cast the magic that would break me apart and send me to the Twilight Realm. The familiar tingle began to appear at the top of my head, just as the my cursed tear made contact with the mirror...

CRASH

I tried to turn my head towards the mirror, but the ghostly platform beneath me disappeared, and I fell face first into the sands of the mirror chamber. I tried to turn towards the mirror to see what had happened, but faster then I thought Hylainly possible, Link was at my side seeing if I was alright. I pushed him aside so I could see the mirror, but Link insisted on helping me up. Then, in horror, I realized what had happened.

It shattered...but...it was supposed to take a couple seconds. What went wrong? I didn't think it would break immediately...

My ankle seemed sprained by my fall, but it only took one wince of pain as I stepped on it for Link to notice my pain, and try to carry me. He already had his hand behind my back and was scooping up my legs. As I felt my feet leave the ground, I smacked the back of his head. "Put me down!"

Link seemed confused, but he did as I had told him. He kept his one arm under my shoulders though, insistent on helping me walk. I knew there was nothing I could say or due that would make him leave me alone, so I just rolled my eyes, secretly thankful for the help.

As we made out way back to the platform the mirror had rested on, all I noticed was that all that remained of the mirror was dust, glittering amongst the sand. My mouth opened slightly as I wanted to say something but no words came out, well, none that behooved a Princess to say. I couldn't form a reaction to what had just happened. I was...I was in shock. No anger, no fear, no hatred, no relief or joy...just shock. All I could do was stare.

The chamber was silent for many minutes. The soft wind could be heard through the chamber, blowing sand against the walls as the three of us maintained our silence. Finally, some words managed to escape from my mouth, "What have I done...the mirror...it's...gone."

Suddenly, my shock was replaced with rage. I turned the green clad man next to me who had only been trying to help me. "Let go of me! Don't touch me! I know this is what yo wanted. You did this. This is all your fault! You and her!" I angrily rose a threatening finger towards Zelda.

Not comfortable with the finger and bright red eyes aimed at her, Zelda vainly tried to calm me down. "Midna, I wish you settle down so that we may talk this over."

"Talk? Talk about what, Zelda? What would you possibly have to say to an exiled princess of another world?" But as my words of bitterness escaped, my rage was quickly replaced with sorrow. My knees gave out, and so did my neck. As my face fell into my hands, my body fell into Link's arms. He gently lowered my to a sitting position and pulled my head into his shoulder as tears began to form. He didn't say a word, but stroked my hair.

I cried into Link's shoulder for I don't know how long, but when I finally stopped, night had fallen. I threw my arms over his shoulders, and he correctly read this as a sign that I didn't want to stay here any more. He scooped me up as he tried to earlier, and nodded to Zelda that it was time to go. I looked up at Link as he carried me out of the Mirror Chamber, and he looked down at me. I could tell part of him was happy at that moment, but for the sake of my previous outburst, he didn't show it. As our eyes met, I couldn't help but to smile at him as one word slipped from my mouth.

"Oops."


Well, I wasn't planning on really going anywhere with this story (just a pointless oneshot), but it seems to be rather liked...
So, i guess i'll try to figure out where the hell to go with this one.

Oh, and for those of you reading my other fic, this is not the second story I mentioned in New Adventures. This is NOT what i said i'd start writing with the better plot line I accidently came up with while pissed off at New Adventures. That is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY THAT IS NOT YET BEING PUBLISHED.

And by the way, I DO own LoZ. I just am so bored that I write fanfics on my gold plated laptop. Oh, excuse me while I go do lines of coke with the prostitutes I can afford from all the money I'm making off LoZ.
