-Chapter Two-
A Little Picnic

Link waited anxiously in the waiting room with Zelda and Peach. Finally, Dr. Mario strode out of his office.

"Well doc," Link said nervously, "How is he?"

"Well," The physician said, "He did suffer a minor concussion, but other than that he should be fine."

"Is he awake yet?" Zelda asked.

"No. You can see him later tonight. Right now he needs some rest to recover."

"Okay." Link, Zelda, and Peach got up from their seats and walked away.

"Heh heh, sorry girls." Link said.

"You should be!" Peach snapped, "After all, this was all your fault!"

"Peach, calm down," Zelda placed a hand on Link's shoulder, "It wasn't your fault." Peach looked surprised and what Zelda just said.

"Yeah, it was actually. I shoulda known better than to bet Roy he couldn't belly flop off the high dive."

"Oh Link, you were just trying to have some fun. Just, think a bit more next time."

Peach was upset. Zelda was consoling Link for injuring her boyfriend. She left the two when they reached the foyer.

"I'm going to my room." She stalked off to the staircase and marched upstairs.

Link sighed. It was apparent he was still feeling guilty, so Zelda suggested they go on a picnic to forget about it.

"It'll be fun. Just you and me."

Link smiled. "Okay."

"…and then when he hit the water, there was a big SMACK!" Young Link had his friends gathered around him, as he eagerly told them what had happened to Roy earlier.

"Wow!" Popo said in awe.

"And then, he got knocked out!"

"And Link told him to do that?" Ness asked.

"Yeah! He said he'd give Roy five bucks!"

"Yeesh, some friend!" Snorted Kirby.

Young Link was taken aback. "Link isn't a bad friend! He was… just being stupid."

"Well, he does that a lot doesn't he?" Kirby said.

Young Link said nothing.

Zelda and Link had found a nice tree on the grounds, under which they set Zelda's blanket. She had brought her famous picnic basket, and Link was very excited to see what goodies she packed this time.

"Oh Zelda, you packed my favourite chicken sandwiches!"

"And potato salad!" She said, pulling out a blue Tupperware container.

"Oh Zelda, you're too much!" Link gave Zelda a big hug. "You know exactly what I love!"

"Me?" Zelda teased. Link laughed.

"Yeah, that too." He moved in and placed a soft kiss on Zelda's lips.

Zelda giggled, "Oh Link. I love you."

"Me too"

Zelda didn't know if Link meant 'I love you too' or 'I love me too', but she didn't bother to ask. She just wanted to cheer Link up right now. And it seemed to be working. Link was already munching on his chicken sandwich. "Mmmm… delicious! Zelda, you're a marvellous cook!"

"Thank you, Link" Zelda said, eating her own sandwich. The two ate in silence for a while, as Link was deep in thought.

"Hey Zel…"

"Yeah Link?"

"Am I… your boyfriend?"

Zelda laughed, "Well, you love me don't you?"

"Well, yeah.
"And I love you right?"

"Uh huh…"

"So then I guess that's a yes." Zelda smiled, "Silly, of course you are."

Link smiled, "Okay, because, we never really established that."

"Well then, now we have." Zelda giggled. He's so cute.

Link finished off his sandwich and half the potato salad.

"Now, how about some desert?" Zelda asked.

"Oh you read my mind!" Link said. Zelda took a plate of brownies out of her picnic basket. She took off the plastic wrap and took a brownie.

"Here Link." Zelda held the brownie to Link's mouth. He took a bite and smiled.

"Oh, yum… You're brownies are the best Zelda!" He took a brownie and had Zelda take a bite. She giggled. They took turns feeding eachother brownies until the plate was bare.

"Well Link, shall we walk back to the mansion?"

"Sure." Link helped Zelda clear up the empty plates and roll up the blanket. Then the two walked back. Link had his arm around Zelda's shoulders and she had an arm around his waist. Zelda rested her head on Link's shoulders.

"I love you."
