*Disclaimer: I think if u have read any of the previous chapters u would realize that: I do not any of the Zelda characters and am just using them in a short little series of stories hoping that Zelda fans wont hate me after. ^_^
Fourth Entry: Surprises
"Link… I love you!" I whisper. He grabs me and kisses me deeply. With so much passion that my heart melts. He lets me catch my breath and I see his eyes longing for more. He smiles and says, " I love you too, my darling." I trace the outline of face then close my eyes and kiss him…
I opened my eyes and gave a startled scream, then turned all red. I didn't see Link standing in front of me; instead standing there was a redheaded servant boy who was sent to bring me my breakfast. The boy seems flustered by the sudden embrace and quickly stumbled off, forgetting about the tray. I suddenly realized that I was standing there in my nightgown. Embarrassment came over me and I made my way back to my room.
As I walked back I blushed at the thought of having kissed that boy in the way Link had in my dream. I giggled at the thought of what that poor boy must have thought after having been kissed like that by the Princess. Maybe this wouldn't have happened if I read less romance novels. I sighed and thought that maybe instead I could just go see Link to get all this desire for him out of my system. I stopped as the realization that Link was gone. A tear fell down my cheek and I ran to my room and quickly shut the door.
I stumbled onto my unmade bed and hugged my knees while rocking back and forth trying not to cry, as I became aware of the world again. Reality was too harsh; sometimes it was just easier to stay in a dream. I spotted the letter on the chair beside me and I contemplated whether or not I should read it. What could he possibly have to say in this letter? Could it be that he was telling me that he loved me!? Or maybe wrote me a letter telling me he never wanted to see me again… Since I was already about to cry, I figured why not read it and be all set for disappointment.
I held back the tears and reached for the letter. I grabbed it then got out of bed and headed for the desk by the window, where the sun was warm and bright. I took a deep breath then opened the letter. I started to read:
To my dear Zelda,
I wish I knew what to say, but sadly fighting evil monsters comes more natural to me then this whole love thing. So I decided to write you a letter rather then explain in person. Yes I know this makes me a coward writing to you instead of telling you, but I'm blaming it on the fact that I had to leave.
I'm sorry… but I… well… I can't be more then just friends. I know you know that, but it's not all because I'm always off fighting. It's because I'm in love with someone. Malon…she's the one I want to marry.
Sorry this is how you're finding out. I really am. I'm not sorry we spent time together however. I will always love you for being my friend. You taught me everything and helped me when I needed a friend the most.
When I come back I hope we can still be friends. I couldn't live without our nights by the lake. I know it's selfish of me for wanting both of you. It's just I can see Malon and I growing old together on the farm with our children. Yet I can also see us, Princess and Hero together in a great friendship.
I hope you can consider just being best friends forever. If you cant then I'm sorry for hurting you so much that you don't think we can. Well I must be off! Keep smiling!
Love always,
Link
P.S. I want you to be at my wedding, as my Best Girl of sorts. Please consider it.
I sat shocked. I had to re-read the letter over and over before it all sunk in. He loved her? How could this be? Tears ran down my face once more.
Before the flood of water works came I heard a knock at the door. I whipped away the tears and told whoever was out there to come inside. The servant from before came in with a tray.
He looked at me then quickly looked down and blushed. " I… huh... I was sent to bring you your food P-Princess Zelda." He put the food on the table by the door never looking at me and quickly headed for the door. He suddenly turned and says in my direction, "Uh… umm… I'm sorry about the... err… k-k-kiss… this morn-
"No. I'm sorry!" I cut in, "That was entirely my fault. I guess that's what happens when you sleep walk. So you don't have to worry about it. Really!"
He looked up and smiled. Then bows while saying thank you Princess and then left. I giggled while he closed the door. He was a pretty cute fellow…
My mind wandered for a while before I realized that I still had the letter in my hand. I frowned and then decided I would forget about it for the moment and just enjoy breakfast.
A whole week passed before I thought about the letter again.
I think the whole friend thing had sunk in, because for some reason I smiled every time I thought of Link. Both of us had different ideas of marriage anyway. He wanted to live on a farm, while I preferred the castle, yet we both agree that the lake was the perfect place for us. No matter what, I would never want to lose that time by the lake. Being Best Girl also was starting to have a nice ring to it.
As it turned out, the last couple of days had been rather exciting. With thoughts of Link out of my mind, I had been free to shall we say 'play the field'. I had never noticed before how many eligible bachelors there were in the kingdom. Each one had a unique quality and appeal about them.
Although at the moment I had found one in particular that was to my liking. He was quite handsome and was very intelligent. The more time I spent with him, the more I seemed to like him. He understood me at a level Link never had. Link and I would always have our special moments but now I was ready to move on from a Hero infatuation and love with my whole heart.
I was falling in love with my new beau more and more. But there was one problem, he was one of my servants…

*Note: now is it good? I revised it and added what I felt was too short for an actual chapter. But anyway, so if you liked it PLEASE tell me so maybe I could do some more Zelda fics if ppl don't mind that much.
