Here's the next chapter. Link and Zelda pick up where they left off. I hope you enjoy it. Please read, review and enjoy.
It was nighttime at the hotel, and Link was in his room asleep. Fighting off an angry mother dragon really takes it out of a guy, particulary a young boy such as himself. He had been sleeping since five o'clock. However, his hard-earned and well-deserved nap was interrupted by a knock on his door. Mumbling groggly, Link walked to the door and opened it to find Zelda in her nightgown. "Hey, Link." she said.
"Hey, Zelda." came the reply.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure." And with that, Zelda walked in and sat on Link's bed. "Link," she began, "That was a really brave thing you did today."
"Thanks, Zelda." Link replied with a sheepish smile. "But I couldn't have done it without help from you, Ghirahim, and the girls."
"Yeah." Zelda said. "But I wish I could have done more. You're always saving the day, and I'm the damsel in distress. It's so infuriating."
"It's okay, Zelda. I don't mind doing things like that on my own. I kind of think of it like this: I risk my life so others don't have to." Link said.
"I know, and that's why it's so infuriating." Zelda replied sullenly. "I feel like I'm putting your life at risk needlessly. I know you don't mind doing it, but it's just that... if anything happens to you because you had to defend me or Hyrule, i'd never forgive myself. It sounds selfish, I know, but it's just how I feel."
"It's not selfish to feel that way, Zelda." Link said. "You may not believe this, but I think you're as much of a hero as me."
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Think about it for a sec." Link began. "When we had to restore the Spirit Tracks, could I have done it by myself? No, I had you with me. And when we finally fought Malladus, could I have beaten him by myself? No. Once again, I had you by my side. And that's the point. You helped me save New Hyrule, or rather, I helped you save New Hyrule. I couldn't have done it all by myself. And about you being the damsel in distress, I don't consider you that at all . I think of you as one of the most important people in my life. Not just a princess, but my best friend." Link said as he took Zelda's hands.
Zelda simply stared at the boy, both touched and flattered by his encouraging words. But then she brought up a different topic. "You know...," she began, slightly blushing, "We never got to finish our date."
"Yeah." Link concurred. "Well we could always go out once we get back to Castle Town."
"We could, but I don't think I can wait that long." Zelda said.
"Well, what do you suggest?"
Zelda said nothing, but gave a seductive smile as she caressed Link's arm.
"I don't know, Zelda."
"You didn't give Selena and Eleanor any fuss." Zelda said as she crossed her arms.
"Yeah, but you're royalty. It wouldn't feel right." he replied.
"Well, how's this? By royal decree, I , Princess Zelda of New Hyrule, command that you... shut up and kiss me." She then slammed her lips onto Link. Though he hesitated at first, Link kissed her back. After a few moments, they broke away for air. "Guess I can't argue with that." he thought. "Well, your wish is my command, milady. They then kissed each other again, and thus the two spent the night wrapped in each other's arms and affections.
Final chapter will be up soon.
