Finally Link gets to meet the girl of his dreams (lucky him) and Scott Pilgrim characters are starting to merge in as well. Enjoy the party!

Link sat in a corner of The Hall of Secrets with Daruina, Saria and Ruto looking around at the rest of the guests and silently wishing that he hadn't let his friend drag him along to Farore's party. Farore's party was your typical bout of drunken insanity that usually took place in Hyrule over the weekend; the place was packed with people in various stages of intoxication and Link couldn't help but wonder why Farore still insisted on holding parties in the The Hall of Secrets as it was way too small a space for the number of people who turned up. She said it made her feel at home so no one really questioned it.

As Link looked around at all the people cramped into the one small room he couldn't help wondering why so many people actually did turn up to Farore's parties – she wasn't exactly the warmest of girls and she had a tendency to snap at people even more than usual after she'd had a few drinks and tonight was no exception. She was currently engaged in an argument with Saria's cousin Steven, probably about their bizarre relationship status, while his friends Kim and Neil stood awkwardly a few feet away watching (much in the same way that Saria was). Eventually Link excused himself to go and get another drink, not that he particularly wanted one he just wanted an excuse to get away from the awkward exchange in front of him and Ruto's glaring beside him.

He made his way through the crowd to a large group of adoring girls standing near the drinks listening to a tall, muscular blonde man dressed in tight fitting clothing and covered in a number of bandages. He was halfway through his sentence when he spotted Link and hailed him over. Link weaved his way though the last few people to get to him and the man grasped his hand and pulled him into a one armed hug.

"Alright Link," he said, his voice muffled slightly by the noise of the party and the large scarf he always wore that covered the bottom half of his face. "you drinking tonight?"

"No I don't drink," Link replied. "this is just water." he added indicating his cup. The man raised an eyebrow at him.

"What do you mean 'you don't drink'?" he asked sceptically. "I distinctly remember you being very drunk off half a bottle of Red Potion at..."

"Hey, Sheik, you know everyone right?" Link asked cutting him off before Sheik had the chance to reveal something embarrassing about him in front of the group of fans the blonde man had acquired.

"Yeah, pretty much." Sheik replied smirking slightly and taking a sip from his cup.

"Do you know a girl who rides a brown horse?" he asked. He was being very vague but he knew that if Sheik knew who he was on about then he would know who it was: he was just that well informed.

"You mean Zelda?" Sheik asked. "She lives in Hyrule Castle, she's Hylian."

"Hylian..." Link breathed in awe; he had always had a fascination with Hylian women. They were the most beautiful women throughout the land of Hyrule, none of the other's held a candle to them, and apparently to be with one guaranteed a very good time...although Link wasn't entirely sure what people meant by that. He had asked Saria once but she had said that if he didn't know now, he never would and had ignored all his further questions.

"Actually someone said she was supposed to be here tonight." Sheik said snapping Link out of his thoughts and looking around. Link's eyes darted around the room eagerly, desperate to catch another glimpse of the girl from his dreams. His eyes suddenly caught a flash of blonde in the corner of the room. He took a closer look and locked eyes with the same huge blue ones he had locked with that afternoon.

"I'll be right back." he said to Sheik. Sheik turned back to the swooning girls around him while Link made his way through the crowd to the girl in the corner.

Ever since Link had seen that girl on the chestnut brown horse outside Hyrule Castle that afternoon he had not been able to get her out of his head; he was sure that she was the girl from his dream and he was infatuated. A small part of him knew that he shouldn't have been – he was with Malon, after all – but there was just something about her that drew him too her. He wanted to meet her in person and talk to her if he could, although if they did have the chance to talk he would have to remember not be creepy and tell her that he had a dream about her.

Once he reached the corner she was sitting in, slightly away from the rest of the party, he sat down on one of the chairs a few spaces away from where she was. She turned to look at him briefly and then turned her attention back to the party. While her attention was diverted Link slipped into the seat one away from her's and then, when she continued to stare ahead of her, he slipped into the seat directly next to hers.

"Some party." he said cheerfully in an attempt to start a conversation. Zelda, for he was sure that it was her now that she was close up, turned to stare at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I guess." she said in a bored, disinterested voice before turning to stare at the people in front of them again. Link studied her; despite the dark atmosphere in The Hall of Secrets she still had an elegance about her that she had probably had since birth and she was even more stunning up close than when Link had first seen her that afternoon. She also gave on an air of utter boredom; she looked as if she had been forced to come here tonight rather than actually choosing too (she may well have been, Link wouldn't put it past Farore to badger people into coming to her parties...in fact she did – she badgered him!)

"So...you go riding a lot?" Link asked trying to sound casual as he attempted to strike up a conversation again. Zelda turned to look at him with an expression that clearly said 'why are you talking to me?'

"What?"

"This afternoon, I saw you riding near Hyrule Castle." Link explained desperately trying (and subsequently failing) not to sound like he was stalking her. "And last night you rode past me in my dream."

"What?" Zelda asked again.

"I had a dream last night and you were in it." Link said without thinking. Almost as soon as the words were out of his mouth he regretted it; he had one intention when he came over here :- not to tell her that he had dreamt about her and sound like a creepy stalker. He winced slightly at his own stupidity and prayed that the noise of the party had been so loud that she hadn't heard him.

"What?" she asked for a third time, observing him through narrowed eyes. She had stopped looking disinterested and suddenly looked very angry; now he had blown it and there was no going back from this.

"I'm sorry." Link said hurriedly getting up. "I'll leave you alone forever now."

"That'd be nice." Zelda stated. Link nodded and practically ran back to join Sheik and the group of girls, who seemed to have grown in number, around him. He grabbed Sheik's shoulders, and his full attention, a slightly wild look in his eyes.

"She's totally real!" he cried. "I wasn't dreaming!"

"What?" Sheik asked surveying him with confusion.

"Never mind!" Link exclaimed waving off his confusion, realising that he hadn't actually mentioned the fact that he had dreamt about Zelda (in the long run it was probably a good idea not to go broadcasting it). "What can you tell me about Zelda?" he asked. Sheik exhaled, shaking his head slightly and shrugging.

"She's Hylian," he stated. "she just moved back to the area after travelling, lives in Hyrule Castle, not your average spoilt rich girl, she's got some battle scars if you know what I mean..." he listed. "Why you got the hots for her?" he suddenly asked smirking.

"No..." Link lied.

"You always were a terrible liar, Link." Sheik snorted but Link was hardly listening. He had turned back to stare at Zelda; he was utterly infatuated. There was just something about her that drew his attention and held it. Ever since, what he described as, his Big Break-Up with Din Link had found it virtually impossible to find a girl that held his attention but this one did. This girl was unlike any girl he had ever met :- he had only seen her in the flesh twice and already he knew that he was totally smitten with her.

Zelda looked round and her eyes locked with Link's. In that moment he felt himself melt slightly and she decided that she didn't want this idiot staring at her all night. She downed the rest of what was in her cup, grabbed her coat and left The Hall of Secrets. Link watched her make her way through the crowd to the exit, his eyes never leaving her until she had finally left the party, closing the door behind her.

"Zelda..." he whispered to himself lost in happy thoughts of her, when an angry voice sounded behind him.

"What about Zelda?" Farore snapped from behind him. Link snapped out of the trance that Zelda had, once again, succeeded in putting him in and spun round to see Farore standing behind him with a furious look on her face. Link let out a very unmanly yelp of surprise and practically fell backwards into Sheik.

"Where did you come from?" Link asked in mild terror. How did Farore always know where to find him when he was doing something that she could use as ammunition to hate him even more than she already did?

"I ask again; what about Zelda?" Farore asked ignoring Link's question.

"Nothing!" he exclaimed.

"Link likes her." Sheik smirked. Link turned to stare at him open-mouthed; as if the bastard had just sold him out!

"No...I don't...I just..." Link stammered not really sure what to say to make the situation any better. Farore had just caught him staring at Zelda after all, there was no way that he was going to be able to talk his way out of this one.

"You have no chance with Zelda," Farore snapped. "so just forget it!"

"But you know who she is?" Link couldn't help himself from asking. Farore sighed impatiently.

"She rides past my work occasionally, we chat a bit." she told him.

"Hey," Steven said appearing out of nowhere and putting his arm around Farore's shoulders, who looked less than impressed by the gesture. "didn't you say she just broke up with someone."

"Did she really?" Link asked hopefully.

"Said they had some big fight or something like that?" Steven added grinning at Link.

"Did they really?" Link asked again. Farore jabbed Steven in the ribs with her elbow and he doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach.

"I didn't want Link to know that Steven." she snapped at him. "Besides I'm not even sure she did have a big break up; she keeps mentioning some guy named Gideon."

"Oh..." Link sighed in disappointment.

"Look Link, for starters Zelda is way out of your league and anyway I don't want you scaring her. Everyone knows that since you and Din broke up you've become a huge creep lady-killer."

"No I haven't! That's not true!" Link exclaimed defiantly, trying to ignore the fact that Din's name had been mentioned.

"What about Ruto?" Farore asked.

"Ruto was years ago!" Link stated. "Well before..." he trailed off, not able to bring himself to actually say Din's name yet but the implication was there.

"That's not the point Link." Farore snapped. "I don't want you going out with Zelda. We all know you're still stuck mooning over Din and you end up blowing off every girl who tries to get close to you because of it."

"No I don't." Link replied. "I'm just spending sometime alone to re-evaluate myself."

"Only people who still aren't over their ex after a year say stupid things like that." Farore shot back.

"Whoa!" Steven said, standing up again and rushing to Link's defence. "Link's mourning period is well and truly over :- Saria told me he's dating a high-schooler." He grinned at Link, under the impression that he had just done him a huge favour and put his arm around Farore's shoulders again. Link stared at him open mouthed and cringing; Farore was going to jump on that and would proceed to lecture him for the rest of the night now.

"Dating at high-schooler is the mourning period!" Farore stated giving Link an even more disgusted look than usual.

"How is it?" Steven asked still under the impression that he was helping. "He's getting some."

"I thought you too broke up!" Link snapped at Steven. Out of all the things that Steven could have said in his defence it had to be the fact that he was going out with Malon and how old she was. Farore had seen the two of them together, yes, but she hadn't actually known that Malon was his girlfriend.

"What can I say; she can't resist me." Steven grinned.

"Shut up Steven." Farore snapped.

"I'll be going now..." Link said quietly trying to make his escape while Farore's anger and attention were diverted to Steven rather than himself. She reached out grabbed Link's arm forcefully so that he couldn't escape and Link wondered where she got her strength from; she was so tiny.

"I'm not finished with you yet!" she growled.

"But..." Link began. Farore cut him off by pulling him down so that the two of them were nose to nose.

"Link you are not allowed to go looking for Zelda again...understood?" she asked. Link didn't make any move to respond or answer and Farore shook his arm slightly. "Do you understand?"

"Yeah but..." Link tried to begin again.

"No!" Farore cut him off again. "I don't want to hear it, Link, Zelda is off limits. If I hear that you've been stalking her again..."

"I wasn't stalking her."

"Stalking, following: same thing." Farore stated.

"I don't know what it is about that girl though." Link said slightly dreamily, ignoring the pain in his wrist from Farore's freakishly strong grip.

"Forget it Link!" Farore snapped, shaking him again to make him look at her and with a tone that said that the matter was now closed. "I forbid you from hitting on Zelda!"

Of course Sheik knows everything mwahaha hope you all enjoyed, more coming next week ;x
