Hello my lovely readers, thanks to every one of you! XD Especially TwiliCuckoo and GlissGirl99 for their lovely reviews yesterday! Made me smile :) Anyway! Onwards with the story!
Midna, Fi, and Zelda all crowd around the mirror in Zelda's room, carefully styling their hair, Midna runs a brush through her long flaming orange hair "Honestly I'm starting to worry what this party is going to be like, Ghirahim is a strange guy…"
"Trust me" says Fi, spraying hairspray onto her soft blue locks "It's be awesome, I helped him to plan it all"
Zelda smiles as she plaits the front right part of her hair with silver, not her usual indigo, ribbons "Well I think it'll be great!"
Midna grins as she carefully ties her hair back with a long silky black ribbon "Speaking of Ghirahim, how are the two of you?"
Fi smiles a half-hearted smile, picking up her tub of styling gel "He's great, I mean he's an amazing kisser and he loves shopping and all, but it's kind of always about him y'know? I feel like we're always talking about him, I want to talk about me sometimes!"
"He is one of those guys isn't he…" Midna mumbles, before turning to Zelda as she starts dusting black eye shadow on her lids "What about… you and Link?" She asks, trying to hide the intent in her voice
Zelda smiles, and begins wondering around dazedly "Oh… Link… yeah he's amazing. You know he took me out on Epona the other day… it was just so romantic, me… and him… in Hyrule field, just the two of us, it was amazing…"
"Oh…" Says Midna, trying not to sound too disappointed
"What about you?" Zelda says, suddenly turning to look at Midna "Got your eyes on any guys at the moment?"
"Oooh yeah!" Fi says, smiling as she jumps on the bed, content with her look "You and Groose are the only single ones in the group now! So..."
"Urghh! No!" Midna squeals, gagging as if she swallowed the thought "Don't get me wrong, he's a funny mate but Groose is way too… just… he's not my type!"
"I get it" Zelda says, joining Fi on the bed as she ties the final knots in her plaits "Links very gentle and he's quite shy, I think I like that, Groose isn't that sort of guy…"
"Exactly!" Says Midna "Except… the Link thing… No, I'm cool being a single pringle"
The girls all giggle as Midna finishes her make-up "Right…" she says, collecting her bag "Are we ready to go party?"
Over at Ghirahim's house the scene is very different. Groose and Link are slumped on Ghirahim's bed, chatting quietly
"Seriously…" Groose mutters "How much longer is Ghirahim going to be?"
"Hold on" says Link, leaning forward to shout through the door "Ghirahim? How much longer are you going to be in the bathroom?"
"Ok firstly!" He voice replies through the door, echoing slightly "It's not a bathroom, it's an en suite, and secondly, five minutes! Relax!"
"People will be here soon so you'd better hurry up!" Groose suddenly pipes up
"Fine…. Fine! But you can't rush beauty!" He replies, Link could just imagine Ghirahim preening in front of the mirror, waving his hand dismissively at their voices, the thought makes him chortle a little
"Something funny?" Groose asks
"No, don't worry about it!"
Suddenly, from downstairs comes a sharp rap, Groose looks at his watch "The party isn't meant to start for another half hour…"
"The girls are coming early to help set up" Link says, smiling as he gets to his feet "Ghirahim, we're going to let the girls in!"
"Yeah yeah…"
And with that Groose and Link thud down the stair case to Ghirahim's front door, Link unhooks the catch and pulls the door open, and sure enough, standing on the other side, are the three girls. Midna dressed in a long black dress, studded with gold jewels, her hair long and glamorous as ever. Fi wears a knee length purple and blue dress, slightly fancier than her usual attire, her hair curled slightly to create a tousled look
"Where's Ghirahim?" She asks
"Still upstairs getting ready" Link laughs, gesturing up the stairs, and then he turns to Zelda, smiling. She wears a long white strapless dress with the goddess crest embroidered along the sweet heart neckline, her hair is plaited with silver ribbons and she wears matching bracelets delicately round her wrists, and Link can't help but pull her in to kiss her
But Link isn't the only one staring, Groose watches, jealousy twisting in his stomach, he swallows hard, and Midna, seeing him, grabs him by the hand and drags him into the kitchen "Come on Groose… let's talk"
Laid out across the kitchen table is an assorted collection of foods and drinks, including beers, spirits, and pims in a tall glass just in one corner. Midna closes the door behind them and turns to look at Groose
"Groose, if you're going to do nothing about Zelda then you need to try and get over her. Maybe we can introduce you to someone else tonight?"
"I don't know what I want to do anymore…"
"What!" Asks Midna, stepping a little closer to him, concerned
"I was thinking about what you said… maybe you were right! Maybe me and Zelda are meant to be!"
"Groose… even if you are, she's with Link! Do you really want to hurt him?"
"No… but I can't help myself! I feel like I need to be with her!"
Midna sighs, making her way over to the table, she picks up a cool bottle of beer, she pulls the cap off and holds the beer out to Groose "Get this down you, it'll help you relax, just try forget about Zelda tonight, try and find another girl to take your mind off her"
"Hey Midna?" He asks, taking a sip
"Don't even think about it Groose…"
"Sorry"
Link shoved the table to the side of the living room to clear room for people to dance, Fi rifled through every CD of Ghirahim's and left the cool ones on the table on hid the uncool ones in a draw, Groose and Midna make their way into the room carrying a bowl of punch (which smelled a little of alcohol) and some snacks
Link looks up, smiling "Hey Groose, can you give me a hand rolling up this rug?" Groose smiles, kneeling down, and together they roll up the rug, Link grins and props it in a cupboard "Cheers Groose, you're a good mate"
Groose swallows hard, nodding
And at that moment, the door to the living room is thrown open, and Ghirahim sweeps in, dressed in his usual white outfit and red cape, except this time her wears long black gloves, with black patterns running up from his arm right to just below his left eye. His usual blue earing is now replaced with a black one, and his red diamond on the belt is also now black, he smiles
"So, what do we all think?"
"You look great!" Zelda says, smiling
"Why thank you my darling" He sweeps over to the stereo, inserts a CD and then turns the volume up, as the first group of people come knocking at the door, he smiles "Let's get this party started…"
