-Chapter Four-
To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

"That wasn't very nice." Roy said.

"Oh Roy, whatever are you talking about?" Peach asked innocently, "He was the one who called me a bitch. Surely you don't agree do you?"

"You know I don't. But still, I think you're overreacting about this whole thing. I am completely fine!"

Peach shook her head, but before she could say anything else, Dr. Mario walked in.

"Princess Peach! What happened to your hair?" He exclaimed.

"It got barbecued by Zelda." Peach scowled.

"Oh dear… You'll need to cut off the singed part and use a prescription shampoo for a week."

This made Peach queasy. "Will it make my hair smell weird?"

"It might…"

"Damn it." Peach snatched the bottle from Dr. Mario and stuffed it into her purse. "Well Roy, I'm having dinner with Mario tonight and I need to get ready. I'll have Samus cut my hair." She lightly kissed Roy's cheek and left.

Roy just lay there. It's not Link's fault, why is Peach so angry at him?

---

There was a knock on Samus's door. Samus, who was watching TV, was annoyed someone would disturb her at this hour. She grudgingly got up from her bed and walked to the door, for the person knocking at it was very persistent. She opened it to find an angry looking Peach.

"Hi Samus." Peach said, in an annoying, sugary voice.

"Peach, what do you want?" Samus asked exasperatedly.

"Well, I have a date tonight, and I need you to cut my hair." Peach ran her hand through her singed locks.

Samus stared at Peach blankly for a moment, then she replied with a flat "No."

"What?"

"I said no. Go away. Wheel of Fortune is on."

"But Samus I have a--"

Samus slammed the door in Peach's face, not caring in the slightest about her date. She flopped onto her bed and continued to watch her show.

"Well of all the NERVE!" Peach said from the other side of the door. "Well, I'll just have to cut it myself!"

"Heh, that'd be fun to watch." Samus said. Peach stomped off to her room.

Link was lying on his bed, with his head in Zelda's lap. She was running her hand through his hair and stroking his head. She was also humming softly. Link liked it when Zelda did this; It was very soothing.

"Say Zelda," Link said sleepily

"Hm? What is it Link?"

"I'm really glad I have you here with me right now."

Zelda smiled, "Not nearly as glad I am to have you here with me." They both sighed.

"Zelda… What's gonna happen when we go back to Hyrule?"

"I… I don't know Link dearest." Zelda had been thinking about that too. What would happen when they returned home? Of course, Zelda would have to resume her duties as Princess of Hyrule; but what of Link? She knew that they could never be together. She was a princess. He was a commoner. This tore Zelda's heart into a million tiny pieces. "Link… Let's not think about that right now."

"Okay…" Link left it at that. Zelda continued to hum and his eyelids were growing heavy. Soon, the Hylian drifted off into a pleasant sleep.

Zelda smiled as she looked down at Link. "You're beautiful when you're asleep." She whispered softly. She kissed her hand, and placed it on Link's forehead. "I don't ever want you to leave me."

---

Roy was asleep in Dr. Mario's office, snoring softly. The door opened a crack, and a certain someone peeked inside. This someone was Marth, and upon seeing the sleeping Roy, he entered the room, and sat down in the empty chair by his bed.

"I was hoping for some company and a little talk," Marth said to no one, "But I guess I'll just have to wait. Marth picked up a magazine and started reading. He felt something wet his leg. He looked at it, and then at Roy, and found that the redhead was drooling.

"Ugh, gross…"

Link had been sleeping for some time now, so Zelda occupied herself with reading a book. She didn't have much else to do since half of her was still trapped under Link's head. She riffled through the pages of her favourite romance novel. She sighed heavily as she read on about a perfect little relationship between two people desperately in love with one another. If only Link and I were like that… True, Link and Zelda loved each other very much, but they had only been going out for a few weeks. They both met up at the mansion at the start of the tournament, and instantly clicked. Zelda didn't know how she could have possibly not noticed him in Hyrule. He did save me after all… They treasured every second of their time together in the tournament; where Link and Zelda were free from the binds of social classes, and just be with each other, every single moment.

Zelda was pulled out of her muddled thoughts when she heard a small chiming sound. It was the clock on the wall, which rang to signify dinnertime. Zelda marked her page, set her book aside, and roused Link.

"Wake up sleeping beauty." She murmured softly.

Slowly but surely, Link lifted his eyelids, and revealed his sparkling blue eyes. He looked up at Zelda. "I was having a good dream." He mumbled.

"Oh. Sorry to wake you." Zelda said softly.

"No. The real thing is better." Link sat up, and gently kissed Zelda.

As their lips parted, Zelda spoke, "You're so sweet, you know that?" Link gave her that dashing, melt-your-heart- smile. Zelda returned it. "So. Shall we head down for dinner?"

"Sure." Link yawned and stretched. He stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom, where he turned the faucet one for a quick face wash. Now refreshed and awake, he took Zelda's hand and they headed down to the dining room for dinner.

awww.. sleeping ppl...
don't you love sleeping ppl:D
as you may have noticed, there are few changes made in this chapter. i added in the whole "link and zelda cant be together cuz she's a princess and he's a commoner" bit to make the story all the more tragic :) i also added in that little scene with marth and roy, and i did for two reasons: 1. to break up the link sleeping with zelda part, cuz it didn't sound good all tegother. and 2. well, i dont know, this wasnt my intention from the start but,i dont know, should i add in a little marth/roy romance? i dunno, its up to you guys, but i thought it might be intersting. if you're reading this for the first time, the original never had marth visit roy, so he wasn't as prominent of a character. now, he's a bit more prominent, and cloesr to roy. anways, its what u guys want, cuz ur the readers. ill be fine writing it either way. wow, ive written a lot... hm.. well, what else can i say? updated my profile again... and uhh... finished chapter 6 of aMDN (a midsummer night's dream), but im not sure if ill post it yet. i need to rework a few parts. if you havent read it, please do. especially if you're familiar with the play. anways ( i say that a lot...)... i hope you like that chapter, and eagerly wait the next one :) oh, and plz review!

thats all for now

-Ciao!

(i thought id use my old little goodbye saying i used when i was writing crushed. meh.)
