A/N So after much deliberation and a great many pleas and threats (well, okay, not that many pleas, and no threats), I have thought of something to continue. The chapters, like the first, shouldn't be too long.

Also, congratulations to all those who spotted that the "Dark Ruto" at the end of the first chapter should have been "Dark Link". I bet some people aren't going to read this and make inquiries about where Dark Ruto has gone… Ah well.

"Go away! I'm reading!" the Princess yelled out at one of the servants that were endlessly pestering her about trivial things that she was supposed to do because she was royalty. Like eating.

"But Miss Ruto-" the Zora started to protest, but stopped after receiving a cold, threatening, glare from her. He sighed and muttered, "Just what am I supposed to tell the King?" With that, he turned away and left.

Ruto was grumbling to herself about how her father was too lazy to care about her, but she presently fell silent she read on. Soon, she was totally engrossed in the book, and everything else was forgotten, like how she had told all the servants and body guards to stay away, and how the door to her room had been left open. But that was alright; there was no way an intruder would get in. And she was fully prepared if they did.

"Enjoying the book?"

Ruto flung the book up into the air in shock and screamed as loud as she could. Unfortunately for her, the book fell down and landed over her mouth, stopping much of the noise from coming out. Dark Link stepped out of the shadows, laughing riotously.

Finally, when Ruto had managed to remove the book from her face, she glared at the intruder. "How could you be so cruel?" she demanded with an anger only found in princesses. "I could have been killed! Suffocated by a book!" This, however, just made him laugh even more. "I command you to stop laughing!"

Dark Link's laughter subsided – after several minutes more – but his voice was still full to the brim with mirth as he conceded, "Very well, my lady." His face was trembling as he attempted to hold back the laughter again.

Once more, Ruto had this overwhelming feeling that she was in the presence of the most evil creature in the whole of Hyrule. "Laughing at me like I'm some common peasant Zora…" she grumbled to herself. He snickered again, but quickly silenced himself. "Well, what do you want with the beautiful princess before you?" she asked eventually.

The shadow cleared his throat as he prepared to speak, "I want to enquire about our wedding–"

Ruto perked up. "Wedding? Our wedding?"

Dark Link grinned. "Yes," he confirmed, "the wedding you agreed to by taking that book off of me. Do you not remember? You agreed to marry me by taking the book."

Her eyes were wide open as he said this. "I also slapped you!" she exclaimed incredulously. "And besides, the only way we can get engaged is if I present you with the Zora's Sapphire, and I already gave that away. So that proves, quite conclusively, that we cannot get married. Now, don't be too upset, you'll find somebody. Of course, they won't be as beautiful, witty, and desirable as me, but I'm sure you can survive with somebody only half as good as me. I am thrice as good as any other person, so being half as good as me is still an accomplishment. Maybe you could find Princess Zelda. Although she seems to have disappeared now, and… GAAH! What are you doing?" the last sentence came out muffled.

"Shutting you up, of course," he responded, keeping his hand over her mouth like the book had been earlier.

"Shutting me up?" she yelled though Dark Link's hand, so it still came out muffled. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

"Yes," he nodded with a grin, "yes I do. You're my fiancé. You need the Zora's Sapphire? Well, I'll get it for you."

"What? But Link has it!" she complained, but by the time she had done that, he had slipped off into the shadows, leaving her talking to nothing but the air. Nothing different about that, though.

A/N So, I came up with this while replying to a review saying I had no ideas of how to continue this. Ironic, huh?

Anyway, how was it? Was it as good as the first chapter? Worse? Better? What do I need to do to improve? Review please! Maybe it won't take as long to get the next chapter up as it did this one! Maybe…
