Stella: Sorry it's been so long! But I just came up with this today. I guess it takes place after the last chapter but before the School Festival, which I'm in process of typing. I've had major writer's block TxT But I enjoyed writing this! Sorry if it's rushed. Enjoy and I'll have the next chapter soon! :D Have a Happy Halloween!

"Alright! It's Halloweeeeeeeen!" Karane cried out in excitement from beside you. You gave her a nervous smile, as did everyone else at the lunch table. Most of you were already aware of how Karane acted when she got her hands on a mountain full of sugar. She was almost a different person when she got hyper.

"Calm down," You told her cautiously. It was only lunch period, but some teachers were generous enough to spare a few pieces of candy to their class and Karane happened to have some of those said generous teachers. "We're not going trick-or-treating until later tonight."

"Awww, but I wanna go now! Now! Now! Now!" She whined.

Your eye twitched as you turned to Pipit. "A little help here, please?"

He chuckled and eyed Karane thoughtfully. Unlike you, he seemed to be enjoying this. "What do you want me to do?"

You let out an irritated groan and lied your head down on the table. "Forget it…"

"Don't act so uptight, (Name)." Groose said. "You know you go crazy when you're on a sugar high, too."

Link glanced at you in amusement and you immediately turned away, blushing. "Shut up! That's not true. Well…m-maybe. But I'm not as bad as her!" You retorted, pointing at Karane in accusation, who just burst in a crazy fit of laughter. You facepalmed and shook your head in irritation. Deciding to take a break from Karane's crazy sugar high, you turned to your Hyrule friends.

"Are we still meeting up later at my house?" You asked them while managing a smile despite Karane tugging at your hair. Things were still strained between you and them, but you all were talking about spending Halloween together for quite some time before the drama ensued. No one voiced their opinions about the incidents dealing with you and Link, but instead mutually agreed to still at least spend Halloween together. After all, they were still your friends despite the fact that you…kinda stole the one guy they all had their eyes on. But other than that, everyone was willing to put their differences aside for tonight.

Zelda nodded slowly. "Yes, that seems fine. What time do you want us over?"

"Hmm…" You placed a hand on your chin and took into consideration how long you would take to get ready, if you had everything prepared, your homework…. After a second you replied, "Around five seems good."

Malon smiled. Saria nodded. Illia…looked the other way. No matter how bad you wished you could un-invite her, you decided it was best to be the better person…even though she was the reason your relationship with Saria, Malon and Zelda were somewhat severed.

They all nodded in agreement.

'Hopefully with everything that's going on between me and Link, things won't be too awkward later.'

You sweatdropped and decided best not to think about it. At least not until after Halloween. Then you could worry about that and the school festival.

~Later at 5~

You rushed out of your room, dodged Groose and Pipit's usual roughhousing, jumped over Karane's pile of candy that magically appeared and flung the door open.

"Hey everyone, your costumes – " You stopped midsentence and scanned each individual. Zelda was a princess, which suited her perfectly. Malon was…a princess. Saria decided to dress up as a princess and Illia…was also a princess.

"Uhhh…"

"We didn't mean for it to turn out this way." Saria informed you sheepishly. Her costume consisted of a fairy-like princess dress. The bottom half was very frilly and sparkly while the top half fitted her petite form and it all matched her shade of green hair.

"It just sorta happened." Malon told you. She was wearing a long, white dress that faded into purple towards the bottom. It was a very flowing and elegant looking dress and her hair was even pinned up in a bun. If anything, she looked like she was going to prom rather than trick-or-treating.

"It's whatever." Illia scoffed, resulting in a glare from you. You hated to admit it, but she looked very pretty. She wore a medieval-looking red dress with intricate gold designs. It even looked like she took the time to do her makeup which matched with her outfit.

"But your costume looks very cute, (Name)." Zelda told you reassuringly. You didn't even have words to describe Zelda. If you didn't know her personally, you would've believed she was an actual princess. The look of royalty definitely suited her. In a way, she looked like a warrior-type princess with golden metal shoulder protectors or whatever you'd call it. Her dress had the triforce insignia on the lower half of her dress which flowed out at the bottom. She even had a headpiece with a shining blue jewel and that alone made her stand out from the rest. You felt a twinge of jealousy surge through you, but you weren't going to let that stop you from getting candy.

"Thanks." You mumbled unenthusiastically. "I just decided to be a (something other than a princess) this year, but I guess it turned out okay because Karane and I match like you and…everyone else."

She smiled warmly and your gaze softened a bit.

"So where's Link?" You asked nonchalantly.

"Sorry, I'm here!" Speak of the devil. Link walked inside, but his costume…didn't look any different from what he usual wore. Well, except with the red feather in his hat.

"Umm, who's he supposed to be?" Karane demanded obnoxiously from the floor. Everyone stared at her in question before turning back to Link.

"I'm Peter Pan!" He said as if it were obvious. Beside him, Navi showed up with a blonde wig and green dress. "And Navi's my fairy, Tinker Bell."

Everyone scanned them and nodded in unison. "Ahhhhh…"

"Well, ready to go?" You asked excitedly. Karane got up instantly and flew out the door with you, Zelda, Link, Malon, Saria and Illia flowing suit.

Zelda turned to the rest of the Skyloft group inside. "You're all not coming along?" She asked questionably with a concerned expression making its way onto her face.

"Nah, you guys go on ahead." Groose told her, a slight blush noticeable on his cheeks. "We're gonna scare kids!"

She arched an eyebrow at his statement before shrugging her shoulders. She waved goodbye and headed out the door to follow the rest of the group.

The first few streets were gold. They gave out the best candy that Karane demanded to go there after finishing up the rest of the neighborhood. However, it was the next few streets that got you a little worried. After walking up to the next house, you realized there was no one in sight to pass out candy. You were beginning to walk back, but then a hand reached out for your shoulder causing you to shriek a little too loudly.

"Getofffofmeeeee!" You yelled, your words mending together from talking too fast. After an apology and a handful of candy, you ran out of their driveway and headed to the next house, clutching your heart tightly.

"One of you is going first next time." You growled, glaring at your group who was snickering at your faintheartedness.

The next house looked even more frightening than the next. Illia volunteered this time, to your surprise.

"Oh, but Link has to come with me!" She announced, looping an arm around him tightly as they walked to next house.

You clenched your teeth as you followed shortly behind.

A few teens popped out of the bushes in front of you, but since you weren't exactly in their line of fire, it didn't startle you as much. However, Illia was acting a little too startled as she held Link closer to her. A light dust of pink made its way onto his cheeks due to the close proximity, but you kept telling yourself it was nothing to worry about.

Each house looked more and more frightening, but Link didn't look scared at all. You wondered if he was only acting tough, or if he really wasn't scared.

"Alright, I guess I'll go this time." Saria told everyone as she gathered up the courage to walk up to the next house.

"No, I volunteer!" Malon hollered, running past Saria while dragging Link beside her. Your eye twitched as she held Link closer to her.

You could already see a pattern forming here. Saria walked towards the front of your group, but with Link, of course. Unbeknownst to everyone else, Saria had a smug grin plastered on her face as she and Link strolled onto the next house.

"My turn." She stated happily.

You didn't even bother to stand directly behind Link and whoever it was he was accompanying. The last house was up next and surprisingly, you were a bit relieved. Zelda's turn arrived and she led the group. You wondered if she was going to ask Link to accompany her.

She turned to face everyone with a nervous expression. "Umm…well, a princess needs her prince, right?"

You rolled your eyes and reluctantly pushed Link forward. You questioned if they were doing this on purpose, since they knew you kissed Link once. They haven't figured about those three other times…but that was yours and Link's secret and knowing it was enough to keep you sane as they clutched onto him like the schoolgirls they were. It only bothered you because they literally took up any moment that you could've spent with Link. But oh well, girls will be girls.

You trudged behind everyone as you all made your way back to the house. Karane didn't bother asking for Link's assistance since to her, getting candy didn't let her become frightened by anything. The whole way back she was singing about all the different candies she got, which you found surprisingly soothing.

Just as you were about to open the door, Cawlin and Strich grabbed your left arm while Pipit and Groose grabbed your right. You let out a piercing cry and unintentionally socked them all in the jaws.

"Idiots." You muttered as you opened the door to the house, which Karane flew right in.

"Yayyyy! Let's trade candiessss!" She exclaimed zealously.

You sighed and followed her in. The "princesses" and "Tinker Bell" traded candy amongst themselves while Link somehow managed to slip by and take a seat by you.

"Hey." You turned to meet Link's gaze. His icy blue eyes stared intensely into your (eye color) eyes.

"…hi." You mumbled.

"What's the matter?" He asked you with a smile on his face. You let out a soft chuckle and smiled back.

"I hardly got to talk to you this whole night!" You told him childishly.

"We're talking now."

You sighed and rolled your eyes. "I guess that's true. You were like Prince Charming out there."

"I didn't feel like a prince…" He replied sheepishly. You turned to your back of candy and dumped the contents out, now feeling slightly better.

"So do you have any (your favorite candy)? I hardly got any tonight." You pouted, pointing to your stack that was missing said candy. He laughed and fished into his bag for one and handed it to you without any complaints.

"Ahh, you're the best!" You cheered and gave him the best smile you could muster.

"You know…" He began slowly. You looked at him in curiosity. "I have another one, but you'll have to give me a kiss for it." He told you in a low voice, in case anyone was listening in.

You blushed at the statement, and before you could reply, you heard Illia call your name out from the other side of the living room.

"I have a few of those, (Name). I don't like them…so I guess you can have them." She told you in a somewhat kind tone.

You mentally facepalmed yourself. Of all the times she decided to be nice, it had to be now. You took a deep breath and made your way towards her and graciously accepted the candy.

"Thanks, Illia." You said with a small smile.

"Yeah, don't mention it." She replied. She gave you a genuine smile this time. But still, she ruined your trade with Link.

A few hours later, everyone decided best to head home. You said your goodbyes and picked up the candy wrappers that were spread out on the floor. A hand went to pick up the one you had your eyes on and handed it to you.

"Link!"

"I'm still up for that trade if you are." He told you, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink.

You blushed and placed your hands on his shoulders. Slowly, you leaned up and pressed your lips against his. He placed his hand on the back of your head, pulling you closer to deepen the kiss, but you pulled away slowly, smirking.

"My candy please." You teased, holding your hand out.

"That's not a fair trade." He growled, before snaking an arm around your waist to pull you closer to him. His heated lips found yours again and you instantly melted to his touch. Unlike your last kiss with Link, which tasted like spearmint, he had the vague flavor of chocolate this time. He gave you one last lingering kiss before pulling away.

"Happy Halloween." He murmured and rested his head on yours.

"Yeah," You smiled and couldn't help but giggle. "Happy Halloween."

Stella: Did anyone get my Hunger Games reference? xD Sorry again for not updating! But I'll have have the next chapter up very very soon. This was kinda a filler chapter, btw. Yeah, Link was a bit OOC, but I hoped you all enjoyed!
