Chapter 1: One Really Bad Day

NO! It doesn't have to be this way! Shut up! You know as well as I do that it must be done. But. No.no buts. goodbye.and.I love you.

Zelda awoke with a start from her disturbing dream. She was in a cold sweat and had a strange sense of foreboding. Not one to ignore such a feeling, she was instantly on her guard. In all the time she spent with link, she had quickly learned to defend herself. She slowly rolled, feigning sleep, until she surveyed the entire room. No threat. Somewhat relieved, but mostly disappointed, she sat up. She had wanted to show Link that she could protect herself, and was not the overly delicate woman he thought she was. She looked down to her left and saw her nervousness had not awakened her husband, Link, as it usually did. She carefully crawled out of bed and walked to her wardrobe. She pried open the doors, as they tended to stick, and began the process of selecting today's garments. As she searched she untied her nightgown and let it fall in a heap around her ankles. She then continued selecting this dress, sizing it, and then deciding if it made her look fat or just bad in general. She also thought of her dream, of which she could remember little.

I haven't felt that kind of sadness and fear since Ganondorf ruled.

Her thoughts were interrupted though, as two strong hands grabbed her around the waste. Instinctively, she whirled about, gathering magic as she did, and threw a ball of magic at her assailant. Only too late did she realize it was none other than Link, who had feigned sleep to surprise her. He definitely surprised her, and now he paid for it. He did not see the ball until it hit him, right square in the face. He was thrown back several feet before landing hard and loud on the floor. Zelda put on a look of horror at what happened, but was inwardly pleased with herself. She had hit the untouchable Link, through not intending it to be Link she may have put too much magic into that ball. He sat there for a few moments, clutching his singed nose.

"OW!!!! What the hell was that for?" he demanded angrily.

"For sneaking up on me, silly! Why else would I throw magic at you? she replied slyly.

"Grrrrrrrrrrr." Link had no comeback, for when he thought about it, he deserved it.

Zelda giggled and knelt beside Link. She called forth the powers of the sage and healed whatever damage she caused. Link then rose, dressed in his kokorish clothing, mumbled something about breakfast, and stormed off. Zelda couldn't help but feel sorry for him, though he had instigated the whole incident. She shrugged and went back to selecting a dress.

Link had indeed been furious about the magic blast for quite a while. He had stormed about the castle for an hour, yelling at any guard unfortunate enough to be in his way. After his wandering he went to the dining hall, expecting to find an equally furious Zelda, only she would be mad about his lateness for breakfast. But Zelda was not present. Nor was any breakfast.

Serves me right, missing breakfast.

Just then Zelda walked in. She had finally chosen a dress. She was wearing a spectacular purple dress, embossed with crest of the royal family. It had golden trim and many symbols of the triforce upon it. This dress dwarfed Link's plain green clothing to a minuscule detail. As if by magic, as soon as she entered, a horde of servants appeared, completely ignoring Link. Zelda soon weaved through them and sat down, indicating Link should do the same. When they were both seated, a mass of servants appeared, carrying trays laden with food. Then, as soon as they laid down the trays on the table, they vanished. The two of them ate in silence for a while, until Zelda broke the spell of silence between them.

"Link, I'm sorry about earlier." she said quietly

"I overreacted." Link answered as if an apology.

Far too much!

"You surprised me at the wrong time." She countered

"Really?" answered Link sarcastically

Zelda then proceeded to explain about her disturbing dream.

"A prophecy?" Link asked

"I'm not sure, but it seemed so real." Zelda said

I really hope not!

They soon finished eating, in a much better mood than they started in. As soon as they stood to stand, the doors burst open. Link, already battle hardened, was immediately in a fighting stance, prepared for hand-to-hand combat if necessary. But combat was not needed, as the intruder was a palace guard. He was covered from head to toe in what seemed to be stone dust. He was very excited and it took a moment to get anything out of him.

"What has happened?" asked Zelda, expecting war or the like.

"The.the.the Temple of Time has exploded!" the guard managed.

So what do you think so far? I know its short but I really need to plan the next few chapters. Please review it!
