("Link should be here any minute now...") Zelda thought to herself, as she combed her flowing hair with a smile. Checking her red mushroom clock, a gift from her best friend Princess Peach, Zelda could tell that it was nearly eight o'clock, the meeting time she had set for Link to arrive at her room in the castle. Pouting, she let out a small sigh.

("You'd think he would have arrived early, in case I needed anything...") she thought to herself.

Combing out the lower strands of her long and beautiful brown hair, Zelda then smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a stunning, all-white, strapless evening dress, with various designs sewn into the hemwork. Her golden royal crown was a nice accessory to the dress, and she also wore gold-lined, elbow length gloves, and matching gold earrings. Adjusting the bust of her dress every so often would be an issue, but Zelda didn't mind as long as her cleavage was pumped and visible. She had often caught Link checking her goods out whenever she adjusted her common dress, so he would be in for a real treat tonight.

("I know you like sucking on them, so if your a good boy I'll let you...") she thought to herself with a smile.

Scanning the clock again, Zelda saw that it read five minutes to eight. Setting her gloved hands in her lap, she sighed, hoping to hear the butler's call that Link had arrived. She heard nothing, and looked at her reflection again in the mirror. Squinting, she grabbed some eye liner and touched up the lashes on her left eye, then ran an ivory comb through her hair once more.

Laying the comb down, she again looked to the door of her room, hoping to hear that fateful knock. Everything remained quiet, however.

("Where is he?") Zelda fumed. Looking at her clock again, she read eight pm on the nose.

("If you want any of this booty, you'll come here right now Link!").

Zelda sat with her arms crossed, frowning for a moment. Exhaling, she rose and Walked over to her window, surveying the countryside. Night had fallen onto Hyrule, and the stars in the sky shone very brightly. It was a wonderful evening for the festival to happen, and it would be so much better if Link were here...

"Princess..." came a knock at the door.

Zelda practically jumped as she turned around, rushing for the door. Opening it, she found Impa, her royal retainer and servant standing at attention.

"Impa... have you heard anything from Link?" Zelda exclaimed, a little impatient.

"Yes my princess. Link called to inform that he would be ten minutes late."

"What? Did he say why?"

"No, princess...".

Impa could see the down trodden look in Zelda's eyes, and put a reassuring hand on her bare shoulder.

"He will be here soon, my liege, and everything will go as planned.".

"Yes... thank you Impa. Please let me know when he arrives...".

"At once, princess." Impa replied. She saluted, and then left down the bricked hallway, her armored boots making a metal sound against the marble of the floors.

Zelda watched her leave, and then closed her door. Sighing, she leaned her soft back against the door, and exhaled.

"I got all ready and pretty for you Link... the least you could do would be to show up on time..."

Zelda plopped down on her bed, relaxing into the posh comforter. She thought of ways to pass the time until Link arrived, but was at a loss. She had already done everything she needed to do to get ready. Her makeup was all in order, her hair was straight and flowing, and her dress primed and presentable... all there was left to do was wait. It was not something Zelda liked however...

("What do I do now...?") Zelda thought to herself, arms crossed. Looking around the bedroom, her gaze fell upon a framed picture of Link that she kept on her night table. Staring at the picture, Zelda began to feel something come over her, and a smile pursed her lips. The smile widened, and soon Zelda was grinning deviously.

("Guess I might as well enjoy a little time to myself...") she thought. Reaching down to her nether regions, Zelda slipped a hand up under her dress and in between the cotton panties of her white garter belt. Feeling through her light pubic hair, Zelda began gently caressing the slightly-damp opening of her clit, exhaled, and began to moan slightly.

"Yeah... you want this, Link..." she mumbled to herself.

Nice and slow, Zelda massaged the folds of her flower, running a finger gently up and down between the lips. She let out a soft moan, continuing to massage herself. Soon this wasn't enough however.

Zelda then stuck her middle finger deep into her dripping pussy, in and out, in and out, in and out, and used her thumb to rub the clitoris in the up and down motion she always liked. Her finger began to get wet as it slid around in her vagina, and Zelda's breathing became heavier as she arched her back. Taking the other hand, she began to fondle her left breast, which had popped out of her dress ever so conveinently.

"Hah..." she moaned, feeling the pleasure of her cunny being penetrated. Her skin had become rosy pink, overheating from her exertions. Squinting her delicate eyes, she began to picture Link in her mind. His strong, powerful muscles, strapping waist, flexed abs, and that huge, thick horse cock of his all danced in her thoughts. She loved it when his man-meat spread her pussy lips so wide apart, and went all the way up to her g-spot. When his dick was so far into her that she could feel his ball sack bouncing against her ass. Taking deep breaths, she could feel sweat going down her forehead.

"C'mon Link..." she whispered to herself.

Bucking her hips now, Zelda Stuck two fingers into her wet cunt, thrusting them in and out, and began to moan louder. Her wrist began to tire as she pumped those fingers deep into her flowing pussy. Thick love water then started cascading out, running down the cheeks of her ass.

("If you had gotten here earlier, this would be your dick...").

Zelda rubbed her plump, pink breast, squeezing it playfully. She pinched the puffy, brownish nipple between her dainty fingers, bouncing the breast up and down, and moaning loudly.

"Ha...ah...ah...haaaaaaaaaaaa..."

"Ha...ha...ha..."

"Ha..."

"Ah...ha...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." she moaned, grinning as her body became limp on the bed.

Feeling the climax ride over her body, Zelda exhaled and closed her eyes, smiling. The room suddenly smelled like wet pussy, but she didn't care. Zelda laid there for a moment, staring at the ceiling and enjoying the post-climax serenity.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Zelda, are you in there?" Link's voice boomed, from the other side of her door.

Zelda's eyes widened, lips gaped, and she looked from side to side.

"Zelda... are you there?"

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Ah... just a minute Link!" Zelda squeeked. Taking a tissue, she began to mop up her cunt, which was proving to be a difficult chore.

"Are you ready to go?" Link's voice rang from the other side.

"Just a minute..." Zelda replied. She cupped her breast, and plopped it back into her dress after heaving up her corset. Nearly tripping over a foot stool next to her bed, she then viewed her makeup mirror and began straightening the crown in her hair, adjusting the flow of her hair.

As Zelda dressed, a sudden realization came over her, eyes blinking. Why was she dressing so rigorously to preserve her modesty, when she had already slept with Link so many times before? Now grinning, she tossed the tissue she still held into a waste basket, plopped back onto the bed, spread her legs, and lowered her corset again. Her delicate round breasts spilled out, pink and firm.

"Are you alone, Link?" Zelda cooed at the door.

"Yeah, are you ready Zelda?"

"Yes. But I need your help with something Link. Come in and help me please?"

"Ok..." came Link's earnest reply.

Opening the door, Link came into full view. He was wearing a sleek, black satin suit with gold cufflinks, and ruby red tie. His sharp black shoes clacked against the marble, then stopped as his eyes widened and jaw dropped.

"I need your help with this, Link..." Zelda whispered mischieviously, eye's narrowed.

Link bit his lower lip, as thoughts raced through his head. His cock had become hard instantly, but he remembered he was going to break up with her tomorrow. It didn't seem right to him to sleep with her the night before, as well as the fact that they had a holiday to attend in minutes...

"Zelda, I don't think we have time to..."

Zelda scowled. "Oh, your going to fuck me Link. Right here, right now!"

"No!"

"Get over here!"

"No, Zelda... wait-"

Before Link knew what was happening, Zelda had bolted from the bed, grabbed his wrist, and flung him on top of her on her bed. Clasping her arm's around his collared neck, Zelda drew Link close. Link could feel her heated breathing across his face, and the two of them stared at each other nose to nose.

"Fuck me, Link..."

"Zelda... I can't..."

Zelda's eye's narrowed. "Why not?".

"Because it wouldn't be right..."

Zelda tilted her head, staring at him. Confusion skittered across her eyes. Link turned away for a moment, then cleared his throat.

"Listen, Zelda... There's something I've been meaning to... to tell you..."

"Well save it, because you got other things to do now..." Zelda stated.

Grabbing Link's hand, Zelda lowered it down next to her wet pussy, and began to rub it between the lips with one of Link's fingers. She then placed his other hand onto one of her heaving breasts, squeezing his palm down into the pink flesh.

"Don't you want that? Huh...? Don't you?" she whispered playfully into his ear, moaning.

Link could feel his hands closing down on Zelda's sweet parts. He felt his hand squish down into her plump but perky breast, kneading it, squeezing the areola and rubbing the nipple back and forth. He felt his other hand's fingers slid their way into Zelda, and he felt the soft roof of her canal, dripping, heated, and... inviting. Any normal, straight and red-blooded man could never refuse such an invitation. Link was no exception.

"You want your pussy pounded, princess?" Link smiled finally, unbuttoning his fly.

"Ram it in, and start fucking." Zelda said with a smile, grabbing him close by his tie.

"No foreplay...?".

"I just want that huge cock. Stick it in now!" she gasped.

"Yes ma'am" Link replied, smirking.

Thrusting his now-raging hard on deep into Zelda's drenched pussy, Link felt her interior walls press against him as he started fucking her. She was absolutely soaked, and he couldn't remember the last time she was this wet.

Zelda began jerking up and down against the bed, in response to Link's thrusting. A smile became painted onto her face, as she felt Link's rigid shaft going in and out of her, filling her full, and doing a heck of a better job then her fingers ever could.

Zelda kept moaning, digging her nails into the sleek black jacket Link wore, cupping her hands over his massive shoulders.

"Keep fucking me! Fuck me Link!" she screamed.

Link felt sweat beads dart down his forehead. His heart began beating faster, and his dick pulsed inside Zelda. He knew he shouldn't be doing this, but it felt so good...

"You like my cock, don't you Zelda?".

"It's ok..." she whispered.

Link went wide-eyed.

"It's ok?".

"Yeah, it's ok. It's not the biggest, but I like the way yours is so wide... and how it spreads me apart when you fuck me...".

Link pouted a little bit, and felt himself starting to go soft.

"Keep fucking me!" she said.

"I... I already finished." he lied.

Zelda rose and stared at him accusingly, his cock still deep in her pussy. "Yeah right. Well I'm not done, so get back to work!".

"Now, Link" she stated.

"Ok...".

Link continued thrusting his hips, more so to end this madness then anything else. Finding he became hard again inside Zelda's wet snatch, he began going faster, fucking Zelda harder and harder.

"Oh god... yes... yes...ohhh...yes... yes, yes, yes!" she moaned.

Zelda wrapped her legs around Link's waist, gripping it tight within her muscles.

"Yes! Yes! Yes... Oh god... Yes! Yes! Yes, yes... YESSSSSSSsssssss! Haaaaaaa..." Zelda moaned, climaxing for the second time. Raising a hand to her forehead, she instinctively attempted to cool her burning flesh. She felt the orgasm ride through her body once more, and was thoroughly satisfied, smiling with her eyes closed.

Link was happy as well, though for him it was more that it was over then anything else. Pulling out of Zelda, he noticed that his suit pants were now drenched with pussy juice, and immediately left for Zelda's bathroom to wash them off.

"What are you doing...?" Zelda inquired, watching him enter the room.

"Cleaning my pants. I don't think it would be good if people knew we just had sex...".

"What are you using?" her voice grew stern.

"This towel that was lying along the tub here...".

"That's my favorite hand towel!" Zelda shouted, rising from the bed. She marched into the bathroom, grabbed the towel from Link, and smacked him across the face with it. It was only a towel, so the sting didn't hurt much, although the meaning was clear. Link looked at Zelda with a bit of her cunny juice on his cheek.

"Sorry... I didn't know...".

"You don't just parade into someone's bathroom and start using things without their permission, Link!" she said with a cross voice.

"I'm sorry...".

"Hmph, use this." she stated, handing him a pink rag from the closet next to the toilet. "And while your at it, what's the deal? Why are you late?".

Link wiped himself off, and then looked for a place to throw the used towel.

Zelda opened the hamper, and pointed inside. Link promptly threw the linen into it. As Zelda hoistened her dress, she looked at Link as if expecting him to explain himself.

"For some reason Epona didn't want to move her ass, so I had to take extra time coaxing her. I think she was frightened to ride in the dark..." Link said.

"Hmmm. Well, we should get going to the festival. It would look bad if two of the guests of honor were late...".

"Yeah...".

After straightening her hair again and cleaning herself off, Zelda sprayed some perfume on herself, admired her reflection in the mirror, and grabbed Link's arm.

"By the way, you look really good in that suit, Link." she said, looking him over.

"Heh, thanks. I had it 'specially tailored for tonight.".

"Do you like the way I look?".

"I think it goes without saying..." Link began. "I mean, I shouldn't even have to tell you that you look fucking incredible, since you always do... Sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time when I say it, because I'm only stating the obvious anyway..."

"Well... thanks I guess." Zelda mumbled, a little perplexed at what Link just said. "Anyway, let's get going. I'll have Impa get a carriage ready for us. It's going to be kick ass!"

"Yeah... I can't wait..." Link replied, with a slight grimace. ("You look good on the outside, but I think you need a little work on the inside, princess...").

During the carriage ride, Zelda buried herself against Link's suit-covered arm as he observed the passing countryside. He smiled as he watched the willowed trees pass by, a long and small, waist-length wall made of granite that snaked along the grass, and the bursting fireworks that danced in the sky. The New Moon Festival was known for its use of magic in honoring the goddesses, but the people of Hyrule often lit fireworks as well. Seeing the bursts of light in the sky made him grin, and the cool air of the passing wind felt good on his face.

("This will be a good evening, and I'll break the news to Zelda tomorrow... after there is nothing left to do, and when she has some time for herself...").

This year, the New Moon Festival was to be held in Zora's Domain, and when the carriage arrived at the ceremony hall, many people were already in attendence. Marble floors lined the hall, that was lit by torch fire, and the water of the surrounding sea coast illuminated the walls, shadowy silhouettes of the waves darting across in silent motions.

The massive hall itself was entirely plaque white, and the roof had been removed to allow viewing of the sky. Pillers of ivory dotted the floor, and marble statues of the goddesses were everywhere. Tables upon tables of food were made available for anybody to snack on, and indeed, two people were already feasting on the delectables.

"Boy, this sure is good eating, eh Mario?" Luigi mumbled through mouthfuls of food.

"You can say that again." Mario agreed, as he slurped down a large string of spaghetti. "Mmmmm, that was some good pasta!".

Mario rubbed his stomach in delight, straightened his mustache, then looked around the hall. "Hey Luigi, where do you think the girls went?".

"I thought they were right behind us..." Luigi replied, as he gulped a spoonful of mashed potatos. Looking behind them, the brothers saw they were alone, and puzzlement shone onto their faces.

"We'd better go find them, since Peach has a nasty habit of being kidnapped..." Mario stated, doffing his hat and walking into the crowd of people.

"But what about the ravioli...?" Luigi protested, before Mario's arm reached out and grabbed him to follow.

In the middle of a huge crowd on the floor, Peach and Daisy were dancing together, amongst cheers from onlookers. Lively music was playing, and fireworks in the sky explodedoverhead. The festival was turning into a really awesome party. Other couples joined Peach and Daisy on the floor, and danced their hearts away.

Peach wore the same hot-pink dress she had bought earlier at the Kakariko Mall, and Daisy was wearing a new and sleek, hip-length yellow dress. Ebony gloves and hosiery adorned Daisy's arms and legs, and her matching high-heel shoes clicked about on the marble.

"This is so fun!" Daisy exclaimed, holding Peach's hand and keeping in step with her.

"Yes, it is!" Peach replied, giggling like a school girl.

The girls danced to the music, using ball room and latin steps, and staying in rythym with the beats. Daisy was quite impressed with Peach's ability to keep up with her.

"Your doing great, Peach!" Daisy shouted, holding her close.

"You too!" Peach shouted back. Closing her eyes, Peach fully embraced the festive atmosphere, dancing with Daisy and enjoying every second.

Mario and Luigi came out of the crowd and onto the dance floor, observing the two princesses dancing away.

"Well wouldja look at that, our girls were here all along." Mario said with relief.

"Look at them go!" Luigi said with a smile. He waved over to Daisy, who gave him a wave back with a big smile.

"Hey Luigi, let's join in and meet up with the girls." Mario stated, taking Luigi's hand and entering the dance floor. The brothers danced their way together through the other couples, and met up with Peach and Daisy, who had stopped dancing to meet them.

"Daisy, you were incredible..." Luigi exclaimed upon joining her.

"Thanks!" Daisy replied, taking Luigi's complement to heart. "Why don't you join me for this next number?".

"Oh, uh... w-well, I'm not sure I would do well with..."

"Just dance with me, mister!" Daisy said, taking Luigi's hand and dissappearing into the crowd.

"I think she wears the overalls in that relationship..." Mario stated, his eyebrow raised as he watched his brother dance with the tomboy princess. He then smiled and turned back to his own girlfriend.

"Hey Peach, lets cut up the rug a bit ourselves, eh?" Mario stated, taking Peach's gloved hand.

"Ah... Mario I think I need to rest now." Peach replied, pulling her arm away. Mario looked a little confused, but then quickly smiled.

"I'll go find a nice place for you to sit down. Wait here, princess!".

Peach smiled, and watched Mario leave. Scanning the area, she began to look for Link to see what he was up to. ("This might be a little awkward if Zelda is here...") she thought to herself.

A few moments later, Mario returned with a plateful of fettucini he had scooped up for Peach. Not finding her there, he looked around, wearing a puzzled look on his face.

("Where could she have gone...?") he worriedly thought to himself.

Looking into the crowd, he saw a roundish, pink person standing where Peach had been. Maybe this person knew where she went?

"Hey little guy.." Mario said with a smile. "Have you seen a princess wearing a pink dress around here? Blonde hair, about this tall." Mario waved his hand in the air above his head at about Peach's height.

Kirby shook his head, his trademark stoic expression across his face.

"Well, thank you..." Mario waved as Kirby waddled off into the buffet table.

"This is bad. I'd better find Peach fast, she might have been kidnapped again!" Mario exclaimed, dropping the fettucini and hurriedly entering into the crowd.

As the ceremony attendents danced the night away, blue-robed wizrobes loyal to Hyrule had shown up to work their magic in honor of the goddesses. Climbing stairways built into ivory pillars, they waved their hands, and the sky suddenly became full of beautiful magic. Fire raced across the open air, passing by levitating boulders that rotated around each other in artful displays, and the magnificent pools of water that floated beautifully above the ground. All around the dancing attendents, vestiges of the elements passed by them, providing spectacular visuals.

"Wow..." Link exclaimed, watching the main event with amazed wonder. He had seen magic at its deepest forms during his many adventures, but rarely had he viewed it as a form of art used to entertain people. It was a truly magnificent sight.

"Its beautiful..." Zelda said with a smile, watching the sky light up with the elements. "Impa was so smart, enlisting the help of those wizrobes...".

"Yeah..." Link agreed.

"So Link..." Zelda said with a smile, "Are you going to dance with me?".

"Well, I'm actually kind of tired..." Link began.

"Hmph, tough!" she shouted, dragging him onto the dance floor with glee.

"Ahh..." Link grunted, taken aback by Zelda's sudden yank.

Zelda grabbed Link's hand, and placed his other hand around her waist. Raising her hand onto his shoulder, she began to lead them into a ball room step, looking deep into Link's eyes with a smile.

"You know you want to, so just do it." she said mischieviously.

"Hmmm..." Link mumbled to himself, with a half-smirk.

Zelda kept on smiling, dancing with Link and keeping in tune with the music that was playing. Eventually, a crowd of people began to surround the couple, forming a ring around them. Even at the New Moon Festival, Princess Zelda still bore a commanding presence. As the two of them danced, Zelda noticed that Link rarely smiled.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"What's wrong, Link?" she asked, a hint of concern in her voice. It was hard enough for her to hear him with all the shouting, so she paid extra close attention to Link and was sure she saw distress in him, somewhere...

"Nothing, nothing at all" Link weakly smiled.

"Are you sure..." she asked.

"We'll talk about it later..."

Zelda's eyes squinted with confusion, but then she felt herself pulled.

Taking the lead from Zelda, Link danced across the floor with her, keeping in tune with the music. Links moves then became more intricate, his footwork and coordination more complex. He raised Zelda's arm and twirled her around, then grabbed her waist and pulled her close. Zelda allowed herself to be dragged across the floor on her tip toes, and Link then picked her up by her thigh, turned, and lowered her near the ground. Zelda smiled, allowing her flowing, brown hair to brush the marble, and then Link raised her up again by her leg, twirling them both in a spin. He set her down and then began a series of figures eights with her, his head going under her raised arm, her head under his arm, and so forth. Taking her hand, Link danced as hard as he could dance, doing every ballroom move he could think of. Link then grabbed Zelda by the waist, lifting her up into the air as she set her hands onto his shoulders, her beautiful hair trailing behind her as he twirled his feet. Losing a hand from her waist and then catching her legs by the knee's just as fast, Link caught Zelda and then did one last spin, before setting her back down on the ground just as the music ended.

The crowd cheered, and Zelda was clearly impressed with Link's moves, at least that's what he surmised by her deeply interested expression and excited breathing.

When the music changed to a new song, Link let out a sigh of relief, smiling. "I'll go get us something to drink..." he said to Zelda, and left toward the open bar next to the buffet tables, her excited gaze never leaving him.

"May I cut in?" a voice asked from behind Zelda.

Zelda turned, smiling as she recognized the voice.

"Oh! Ike, I'm so glad to see you..." Zelda beamed, as she allowed Ike to take her hand and lead her into another dance.

"Me too, Zelda. But where's Link?"

"He went to get us something to drink..." Zelda replied with a smile.

"Well, lets enjoy ourselves then, before he gets back..." Ike replied with a wink.

"Oh you, your so deviant, Ike...".

While the crowds danced away, Link scanned the buffet tables, picking up a plate of sashimi and sampling it. After eating a few of them, he smiled and set the plate down.

("I wonder where Peach could be...") he thought, before spotting the blonde bombshell at the bar. ("Bingo.") Link thought with a smile.

Walking up to Peach, Link took a seat in the chair that was opposite the bar.

"Link!" Peach cried, throwing her arms around him. Gripping him tightly, Peach nuzzled her face into his neck, before giving it a soft kiss.

"Whoa, easy Peach. I still haven't..."

Peach stopped what she was doing, and immediately turned to face Link.

"Haven't what?" she demanded, frowning.

As Link searched for words, anger darted across Peach's eyes.

"Link, haven't you told Zelda yet about us? What are you waiting for?" she exclaimed, clearly annoyed.

"Easy... I've just been waiting for the right time." he said, trying to settle Peach down.

"You've been saying that for the past week now. What the hell? Are you sure you want to be with me?" Peach asked. Link could tell she was upset because he could rarely recall this kind of tone in her voice. Actually he could never recall it, so she was clearly pissed.

"I already made up my mind that I will tell her tomorrow." he said, his expression grim.

"What? So what are we supposed to do?" Peach stammered.

"I didn't want to tell her right when we had a big holiday happening, where a lot of people would see her...".

"But what about me...?" Peach sniffed.

Link took a deep breath, grabbed Peach by the hand, and left through the crowd with her, making sure no one saw what was happening. Weaving his way through all the people alongside the wall, Link exited the hall with Peach following him. Once they were alone in the vacant rear-lobby of the hall, Link pulled Peach close.

"This is what you mean to me..." he said, before placing his mouth on Peach's, and into a kiss.

Peach pushed him back, anger in her eyes, which softened, and then pulled him back and allowed Link's tongue to enter her mouth. They stayed that way for a long time, their tongues swishing back and forth, over each other and all around. Peach wrapped her arms around Link's neck, pulling him close to her, closer, closer, until she felt herself fall back between a hole in the wall. The couple had suddenly found themselves inside a janitorial closet, and Link quickly closed the door with a smile.

"Whoa... I think that's it for me..." Luigi exclaimed, gasping for breaths as the song ended. He was clearly winded, which made the still fit Daisy grimace a bit, before taking him back into her arms.

"Please honey, one more song?" she asked.

Luigi only panted, taking deep breaths, which made Daisy sigh in response, then quickly smile again.

"You may suck at dancing, but I still love you..." she said, giving him a sweet kiss on the lips. When they broke the kiss, they found Mario waiting right beside them.

"Umm, Mario. A little alone time here?" Daisy stated.

"No time, Princess! Peach has been kidnapped!" Mario shouted, grabbing his brother by the arm. "We have to rescue her, Luigi!"

"WHHAAAAhhooooo..." Luigi exclaimed, as he was dragged like a ragdoll by the arm behind his anxious brother and into the crowd.

"What are you talking abou... WAAAIIITTT! LUIGIIIIIII!" Daisy shouted behind them, her voice trailing behind.

"Did you hear that?" Zelda asked.

"Yeah, it sounded like someone was shouting "Squigeeeeee" or something..." Ike said matter of factly, his hand clutching Zelda's tightly.

"Well, I'm getting tired now..." Zelda stated, easing herself off of Ike. "And where is Link?".

"Dunno. I didn't think it took this long to get drinks. How long HAS he been gone?" he shrugged.

Suddenly a worried expression wrapped across Zelda's face, she looked at Ike, then back at the crowd, and immediately began squeezing herself through the dancing people.

"Zelda, where ya going!" Ike's voice trailed back.

The surrounding sounds of all the people suddenly grew very low, and then became quiet to Zelda, as she searched for Link everywhere. She scanned the buffet tables, the wizrobe towers, the band stage area, the dining tables, everywhere she could find, leaving no stone unturned. At last she found herself in the empty rear lobby, and felt panic going through her veins. All the while, only one thought raced through her mind.

("Where is Link...?")

"Zelda, there you are..." Ike stuttered, gasping to keep up with the Princess. "You were pushing people left and right, going through tables, what's wrong with you?".

"Where is Link?" was her only response.

Ike stared at her with a confused expression for a moment, before turning his attention toward a noise further down the lobby. Zelda picked up on this, and turned to see what it was Ike was looking at. Then she heard it too. The noises. Coming from the closet...

Zelda ran up to the closet, Ike right behind her. They looked at each other, Zelda's expression hardening. Grabbing the door knob, she turned it, and flung open the door. Inside, Link and Peach had their arms tightly around each other, a kiss between them that broke upon the surprise of the door slamming against the wall...
