LAST TIME:

"What were you doing with Niko? Don't tell me you were playing some game...for treasure...were you?" she asked. Oh goddesses, we're TOAST! I thought.

BACK TO THE PRESENT TENSE:

"Well, whatever!" Tetra yelled. I sighed in relief.

"Take a look over there." she instructed, motioning to a highly secure island. We looked at it.

"Wow..." Link and I said at the same time. Tetra told us that a band of pirates that she and her crew used to compete with owned the Forsaken Fortress once.

"Aha! Look! Have you ever seen so many seagulls flock like that before? I bet that's where they've got your sister locked up!" she exclaimed, pointing to a window with about 10 seagulls flying around it.

"But if we were to get you there, we'd be thrown in jail." she continued, hanging her head to think.

"Hmm...what do we do now?" she asked. She winked a few seconds later. It took us a while to notice where we were----in a barrel, getting ready to be launched into the Forsaken Fortress. Link and I looked at each other and blushed, considering that we were in the same barrel.

"3! 2! 1! BANZAI!" Tetra yelled, cutting a rope that sent us flying towards the Forsaken Fortress. I held onto Link for dear life and blushed while doing so. Link blushed, too, and held me as we flew. Then----SPLAT! We crashed into a wall, losing both of our swords in the process. Link mumbled a few curses under his breath. After that, we crashed into the water below.

"DANG THAT'S COLD!" we yelped, jumping out of the water.

"Heehee...wow! What a show!" Tetra yelled from Link's pocket. We jumped and I had a coniption.

"What the heck is wrong with her?" Tetra asked Link from a stone he had pulled out of his pocket.

"Uh...she has coniptions when she's surprised..." he answered.

"Well, anyways, I slipped this stone into your pocket before I launched you over there. I can see what you're doing through this and, obviously, you can hear me through it." she explained.

"Well, no dur we can hear you!" I snapped. Link slipped the stone back into his pocket and we began running. We quickly grabbed a near by barrel and hid in it, slipping past the spotlights.

"Aw! I wanted to slow dance under it!" I whined.

"W-well, we could slow dance without it." Link suggested with a smile. I nodded and he grabbed my waist and I put my arms around his neck. We danced for a while, then leaned in. A boy---no, scratch that, a HERO, is about to kiss me, Amy Giruma! I thought excitedly. Next thing I knew, we were in a jail cell.

"HOLY CRAP!" I screamed, looking around, dazed and confused.

"How in all of the freaking Great Sea did we get here?!" I asked, having an anxiety attack.

"W-well, I was about to kiss you when you blacked out..." Link explained. I couldn't help but blush. He admitted to trying to kiss me!

"Well, okay, but what are we doing in jail?" I asked.

"Well, I ran around screaming "MEDIC!", and eventually got caught." he said.

"Well...umm...we could kiss now?" I suggested, loosening the collar of my tunic.

"S-sure..." Link said, grabbing my waist and pulling me close. We slowly leaned in. Next, our lips were in a passionate kiss. I pulled away and hugged him.

"Link, promise me that you'll never leave me." I said.

"I promise, I will never leave your side." he whispered into my ear. Then, a thought popped into my head: We had to find a way out of here.

"Link, we gotta find a way out of here." I reminded him, kissing him softly on the lips. He nodded.

"Right, just one more thing..." he said, picking me up bridal style.

"My hero." I giggled, digging my face into his chest as he gently stroked my hair and set his head on mine.

"Link, wait, we gotta go. We'll have this romantic moment later, but right now, we gotta save Aryll." I said, kissing him softly on the lips again.

"Sigh...okay..." he said, setting me down.

"Thank you. But I promise you, we will have a romantic moment later on, just not now." I said, kissing his cheek softly.

"Alright, then, lets go. I think there's an exit right over there behind that pot." he said.

"Okay, well, lets see." I said, jumping up onto the shelf where the pot was.

"Be careful, my princess." I heard Link whisper. I wanted to cry tears of joy. I had never had a boyfriend, and now I did. It felt really good, having some arms to fall into. Someone to hold, to love. I quickly broke the pot with my fist, making my fist bleed.

"Agh!" I grunted, holding my fist in pain.

"Amy!" Link cried, running over to me. I looked at him and smiled.

"Everything is fine. Just a little cut, that's all." I told him, putting a bandana around my fist to stop the bleeding. It worked. Link raised an eyebrow at this.

"Okay, well, looks like I was right. There's a little hole right there. Ladies first." he said. Man, he was such a gentleman! That's the thing I loved most about him.

"Thank you, Linky." I said, climbing in. Link chuckled at his new nickname and followed me.

~ONE UNEVENTFUL DUNGEON LATER~

Link and I walked up the stairs after sneaking past the last guard, holding hands. Soon, our swords came into view. We began jumping up and down.

"WOO HOO! YAY! HOORAY FOR TEAMWORK!" Link and I shouted. Suddenly, spikes shot up behind us and a moblin ran towards us. We rolled out of the way and grabbed our swords. Using the weapons, we killed the moblin. A giant wooden door opened behind us and we walked in. Once in, we saw Aryll and 2 other girls sitting in a giant cage. Aryll looked up and saw us. Her face lit up.

"Brother? Amy?!" she said, smiling. Our faces lit up also. We began walking over to her, holding hands, but Link stopped when he heard something.

"Whats wrong, Linky?" I asked, a worried expression plastered on my face.

Suddenly, that huge bird swooped down and grabbed us. I held onto Link, crying into his tunic, thinking that this was the end. The bird took us to the top of the island, where a man in a black robe told the bird to throw us into the ocean. I continued to hold onto Link and cry. He held me. The bird did as it was told and flicked us into the ocean, me holding onto my boyfriend for dear freaking life.
