(Hey guys! Here's Chapter 2! Hope you guys enjoy. Bit more of Midna's feelings in this chapter.)

Chapter 2: Planning and Remembering

Zelda POV

I looked at the portal, knowing that my next move determined my fate. Destroying the portal was my only chance to keep my Hero here, with me. But even I wanted to be able to see Midna again. However, seeing as how using the portal would destroy it, I knew I would never see her again. And if I let Link use it, I would never see him again. I miraculously decided I wouldn't destroy it, but I would see what Link's plan was.

I knew he would come to me about the portal. The shade of the Hero must have informed him by now. I knew that he would think that I hadn't known about it, and I was going to play along. But when he returns from the temples with the pieces, I will offer him a choice. Stay with me and the portal is untouched. But if he tries to leave me here alone, I will destroy it.

That shadow being betrayed me. She may have been my friend, but when I found out the relationship between her and the Hero... she stopped being my friend the moment she thought that Link was hers to love. I won't let her take my happiness. The happiness promised to me by the Goddesses. The happiness that my ancestors had. I won't let destiny be tampered with any longer. The Hero may be the embodiment of Courage, but I'm the embodiment of Wisdom. I'm quite a few steps ahead of him.

Midna POV

Week 5, June 12th

Dear Diary,

I have been in my Grandfather's mountain mansion for weeks now. I don't know if Link is coming or not, and I am starting to lose hope. At the beginning, I thought he would come right away, but now…

June 13th

My soldiers are more positive than even I. They trust Link, even having never met him. But that may simply be because they don't want their Queen to be discouraged. I don't know.

June 14th

I wish he was here to comfort me. Even his wolf form would do. I could still understand him. I remember being an imp, riding on his back. It was the only time I loved my ugly form. I knew he would protect me, no matter what. And when I was on the brink of death after our meet up with Zant, he proved to me that he loved me. He wouldn't tolerate a single beast even looking at me and my damaged body. I recall an lone monster had looked at me as a possible meal option, and made the mistake of acting on it. Instead, he became dinner. Link had allowed his instincts to take over, the only portion of his humanity being the need to protect me. I had realized then that if he protected me even when he was a full on beast, then he as a human would never leave me.

June 15th

I regret everyday that goes by that he isn't here, because I know it's my fault. I miss him so much. I miss laying in his warm arms or on his fur as I slept, knowing he was protecting me. I miss him making obnoxious comments everytime I gave him a command or asked him to do something. But what I miss most of all, is him telling me that he loved me. He said it everyday without fail. He proved it every time he went into battle. He showed it whenever we were walking the streets of castle town the few days after Ganondorf's defeat. He didn't care about what any other Light Dwellers may have thought, and he never showed a hint of unhappiness or dissatisfaction. I never saw him lay eyes on another girl, even if I thought she looked better than me. He would just say, "Her? No way. No one is as beautiful as you Midna. Your Imp form looks better than that." And he would've said that if it was the most beautiful girl in the world. He loved me, even when I thought I couldn't be any uglier. And I crushed his heart.

June 16th

I can't believe it. I couldn't be more relieved and happy. He's done it again. He never fails to prove his love for me. The shade came to me last night. He told me that my Hero was looking for the pieces of the device to open the portal, and that he had a message. He said that no matter what I had done, he had never saw me as any different. He understands why I had thought to destroy the mirror, and forgives me. And best of all, he said that he loves me. He's coming. My Hero is on his way to save me yet again. My hope is restored. I'll be waiting for you, no matter how long it may seem to take. I love you. My Link.

Link POV

….The Light Realm….

The battle had been in my victory, The shade had released me after I had asked him to send a message to the Twilight Realm if he could. And he'd been able to. I had returned to Ordon to tell the people of my new mission, and they were thrilled I was staying a bit longer. I told the kids and Ilia that I would message them in the Twilight Realm, and departed. Ilia had offered aid in terms of the Temple in the Zoran Palace, which I accepted. But I still had to see Zelda. I had to tell her the good news. I was glad that she was by my side. She had faith in me. And I was glad that she could help me out. The embodiment of Wisdom was going to be needed if I was to save the woman I loved. I'm on my way, Midna.

(Alright guys. How was it? I hope it wasn't to mushy, but I like that kind of stuff whenever I feel its the right couple, which in this case, I do. Link still doesn't know about Zelda's "love" for him, but I have a feeling {hint, hint} he'll be finding out soon. Dark Link: Hey I thought you said no spoilers! SSGSS Ishiko: The author can give spoilers faggot, not the character in the story! Later guys. Remember to Read and Review!)
