Tetrena

This is a fic that came to mind when I herd Scott Joplin's Bethena Waltz. I thought it was a very romantic and sad waltz and I thought "What if to confess his feelings for Tetra, Link wrote a version called Tetrena?". This is my very first full story, enjoy)

Link: 15 1/2

Tetra: 15

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda or the Bethena waltz.

Chapter 1: A lovely idea

It was a clear night on the large pirate ship. All was quiet, save for the beautiful notes of a piano. Link sat in front of his piano. It was a small piano, as all early pianos were(this was the time before true grands existed, pianos of the time were called fortepianos and where much smaller and had only 5 ½ octaves and the key colors where switched around). It was a dark green piano, in the shape of what is now called a grand piano. It was made of wood, oak wood that was dark green and very smooth. It had 3 legs and the cover was open. The keyboard had about 5 ½ octaves, about 50 or so keys. The keys were black and the flats where white. On the front of the it was the words "Hyrulian Music Inc." with a Triforce symbol above them. It was a birthday present from Tetra, and Link loved the piano very much. It had a sheet holder on it for music books. Link was playing a Baggettale called "Fur Elise" by a German composer named Ludwig Van Beethoven. It was a love song. All Link could think of though, was Tetra. HE loved her so dearly. But she wasn't the type to fall in love. He sighed sadly and kept playing. Then he got an idea. "Beethoven wrote this song for a girl he fell in love with…..maybe I could write Tetra a song to confess my feelings!" He said to himself. "But it will be a waltz…. A long, sad, musically complex waltz." "Il call it…..Tetrena." he decided. So link got out a bunch of blank sheets of music paper, and began thinking of what to write. He played out the notes that he though sounded best, and whenever he found a note that suited him he wrote it down. This continued for a while, until about 2 AM. So far the song was about 3 minutes long. "It could be another 5 minutes longer…. I will continue tomorrow night when everyone's asleep." So he got up, pulled the cover over the keyboard, put the sound board cover down, and he locked the sheets away in a wooden desk on the other side of the room and locked it. He then went over to his little hammock , witch was comically right next to his fortepiano, and went to sleep……..

I made a revision with more detail and more stuff. Chapter two will be up soon! Please R&R
