-Zelda (Four Swords) POV-

I watched as Blue and Hanon sparred. Honestly, Hanon was overrated. Though she held two swords, she rarely ever actually used both of them. She was only right handed! I bet she just wanted to show off for the Links. Anyway, since she's right handed, only Blue can spar with her, because he's ambidextrous.

But Hanon just... annoys me! She spends all of her time with the Links, talking to them and sparring and making them laugh. They're so hung up on her every word that they completely forget that I exist! I'm the one that they all fought for in the first place! Not some beat-em-up girl that they all fall over because she can pick up a sword!

I am the reincarnation of a goddess! She is a nobody that isn't even IN the reincarnation system! I am a princess! She grew up farming pumpkins! I am royally poised and have fantastic manners! I'll bet you that Hanon doesn't even know the meaning of the word etiquette! I use proper grammar! She has an accent and uses words like "y'all" and "ain't!" Seriously, WHY does Vio of all people hang around her?!

I get that she's nice. Sometimes. But they just drool all over her! "Hey Hanon, show me that move again!" "Hanon come taste this chicken curry!" "Haaaaanooooooon! Blue's being a meanie!" "Hanon, check this out!" "Hanon, can you lift this?" "Hanon, read this 800,000-page novel I wrote JUST for YOU!" It's ridiculous!

I felt a tap on my back. It was one of the Zeldas. Time's girlfriend. It was weird to think that we were all the same person. I guess now I know how Green feels. "Hey, are you okay? You're staring at Hanon with a REALLY sour look on your face." I nodded. "Yes, I am fine. Thank you ever so much for asking." But I wasn't fine. I was full of hate. There, I said it. I hate her. I hate Hanon Sword.

"Why do you spend time with her?" I asked Green later, when we were alone.

"Who, Hanon? Well, she's funny, and she tells great stories about the other dimensions that she's visited, and the shocking amount of people with pink hair that apparently exist."

"I'm funny, too."

"Yes you are."

"I could tell stories, too."

Green turned around to face me. "Wait a second. You're jealous of her!"

"I most certainly am NOT! Why would I be jealous of a sword-swinging FARM GIRL!"

"You are. Because we hang out with her."

"I am NOT!"

"Suuuuure. I bet you'd even settle for hanging with Blue right now!"

"Ew."

"He's not that bad!"

"He smells!"

"What about me?" We turned around to see Blue. "For your information, that is the stench of hard work and training for battle. Not that you'd get off of your lazy butt to go out and fight and see what it's like."

I gasped. "Why, never in ALL of my LIFE have I been addressed with such... such... such..."

"Virulence." Stated a voice slightly deeper than the others. We all pivoted to see Vio, Shadow on his tail as always, approaching. "Or maybe a better word would be rancor. Or possibly malignance."

Blue furrowed his brows and clenched his fists. "If I knew what any of that meant I'd be real mad!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Where's Hanon? Doesn't she always follow you around?"

"She's bathing. I believe her exact words were 'I will now shower in the glory of my victory.'"

She won? I hadn't been paying attention.

Blue slammed his fist on a tree. "She cheated! Somehow, somewhen, she cheated!"

Shadow chuckled. "Afraid of being beaten by a GIRL, tough guy?"

Blue growled. "Afraid of a little light, darkie?"

"Not anymore. See?" He lifted a hand towards the sky. "No more pain. All thanks to Vio. He's a great psychologist."

"Well I... I... I... I... I... I STILL THINK SHE CHEATED!"

I covered my ears. Boys are so uncivilized!

-Time Skip-

-Hanon's POV-

I stretched out on my bed. My muscles felt so relaxed from the hot bath, and they needed it. The fight with Blue had been rough. He almost won, but I managed to catch him off guard by kicking him. Score! No, that was NOT cheating. Knowing Blue he was probably whining about it every chance he got. Vio looked it up in the rulebook. "Kicking and Punching is tolerated but highly discouraged."

Of course he should know. He wrote the rulebook. Of course he had to simplify it greatly for someone of Red's intellectual standpoint to be able to understand it, but rules are rules! Of course I do things deemed "highly discouraged" all the time such as:

·Being descended from demons.

·Inter-dimensional travel.

·Time travel.

·Being awesome.

Seriously. You can't be too awesome or else people will hate you. And I far surpass too awesome. I'm also very humble.

"DINNER!"

As soon as I heard the call to dinner, I sprinted downstairs like I hadn't seen food in weeks. As soon as I jumped the last few stairs and set foot on the hardwood floor, someone's hands covered my eyes. "Guess who?" The voice was easily identifiable, but I wanted to have some fun.

"Um... Blue?" I questioned.

"Nope! Try again!"

"Hmmm... is it Navi?"

"No again!"

"Let's see here... I know! Groose!"

"No, silly!" He let go of my eyes and turned to face me. "It's me, Red! Hanon, you're a silly goose, you know that?"

Red started laughing and I smiled. He was really easy to please. Vio waved me over from the boys' table. Then he whispered in my ear. "Hey, after dinner I've got a surprise for you upstairs."

"More art stuff?"

"Yes."

I sat down and Red started serving dinner. Oh, and did I forget to mention that Zelda's been staring bullets at the back of my head this entire time?

I leaned over to Green. "Dude, what's up with your girlfriend?"

"The Jealousy Bug's got her."

I sat down again. She was jealous? Of me? There was nothing to be jealous of! Back in her time she has a huge castle with hundreds of servants waiting on her hand and foot! I would kill for treatment like that! But maybe... it's because I hang with the Links so much. I looked at Zelda. We made eye contact for a split second before she looked away and scowled. I didn't know what exactly she was jealous of, but she sure didn't look too happy about it. Sheesh.

I tried to enjoy my dinner the best I could, but I could FEEL her EYES boring into my very SOUL! It was seriously creepy, bro! I shuddered. Vio inched a bit closer to me. "Don't worry. I went on my adventure to save her, but now protecting you is my top priority." I smiled... but inside I was wondering. What did he really mean by that? Was he saying that he likes me as more than a friend? Now I have more to worry about! [Bad word]!

I acted as cool as possible downstairs, but then I got up to my room...

And completely freaked out.

"First Zelda's starin' at me, then I dunno WHAT is on Vio's freaking mind, he keeps getting me art stuff but I dunno if that's a friendly gesture or if he likes me likes me and I already have enough to worry about with school and training and WHYINHOLYHYRULEISTHEWORLDSODARNCOMLICATED! GAAAAAAAH!"

Someone knocked on my door. I opened it. Sky's Zelda. I closed it.

"Wait!" She reopened the door. "Hanon, it's time you come to terms with something."

We sat down in chairs. She crossed her legs, but I sat "like a boy" with my legs apart. "So watcha want, girl?"

"Hanon... these problems that you are going through... are just everyday, normal problems."

"Oh great, another puberty talk."

"No...no. This isn't about that. What I'm saying is that they are normal problems. .. for a girl. You've been living like a boy, so it's going to be hard for you to cope."

"This sure sounds like a puberty talk to me."

"It's not! I'm just saying that if you ever need anything, you can always come to me."

"Are you sure this ain't a puberty talk?"

"YES!"

I cocked my head to one side. "Whad'ya mean by 'girl problems'?"

"Oh, like... drama... and boys... typical girl stuff."

I sighed. Zelda came over and sat in the chair with me. "It's Vio, isn't it?" I nodded, feeling guilty. She, however, smiled softly. "I've seen the way he looks at you. There's real care in his eyes."

"Oh, so you're one of those people who walk around staring into people's eyes? Can you also tell the future?"

"Hanon, I'm serious."

"So... he likes me?"

"Hmmmm... you could say that. But you also couldn't. To be honest... I'm not entirely sure myself. Vio is a riddle inside a mystery wrapped in an enigma."

"I'm not sure if you worded that right, but I get your point."

"And do you like him?"

I knew that question would come eventually. I had been thinking about it for a while. I'm not dumb. When my thoughts keep drifting back to him, I know something's up. Sometimes I think I do like him. Sometimes I think I don't. Most of the time I'm just confused. So I shrugged my shoulders and sighed again.

Zelda laughed. "Oh, I had the same exact problem with your brother. I had no clue! Sometimes I would blush when he patted me on the back, sometimes I wouldn't. But look at us now! We're engaged!"

"That... doesn't help."

"Well, we're kind of dealing with the same person... so I thought I'd give you some advice."

"Like what?"

"Jusy randomly... show some affection... instead of, well, what you usually do."

"Cuss at people?"

"No... the other thing."

"Beat people into the dirt and make them taste their own blood?"

"No. Also, remind me to get you counseling."

"Flat out ignore humanity?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking! "

"Kind of offensive, but I'm on board, I guess. Also... how do I show affection towards Vio? This is Vio we're talking about."

"Hug him?"

"He'd totally be onto me."

"Pat his shoulder?"

"I still can't completely control my demon super-strength. I'd probably crush his collarbone to bits."

"I'm at a loss."

"And we're just assuming here that I like him, and that he likes me."

"You are correct."

"So can you go... think about this somewhere else?"

"Of course. I don't mind. At times like this, a girl needs to be left alone."

"So... later, I guess."

"Yeah... bye."

She stood up and left. Well, that was not awkward at all. Ugh.

-MEANWHILE-Zelda (Four Swords) POV-

I had decided to take a walk in the woods for a bit, just to cool off. Hanon was seriously ticking me off. I mean, Red used to do that kind of stuff to ME AND ONLY ME! I was the reason that they are... well a THEM in the first place, and not just a HE. And Vio is SOOOOO into her. Too bad she's too dense to figure that out. The other Zeldas and I have talked about her quite a few times, but every time we do, they always stop me. "Woah there, Short Zelda. Positive comments only." (P.S., we call ourselves First Zelda, Short Zelda, Blond Zelda and Brunette Zelda.)

I stomped on a tiny snail. Ugh! That girl was making me SICK!

"You got trouble in the mind?"

I turned around. The speaker was Cythera, who was standing there in all of her evil beauty. I reached for the safety whistle that Green had given me, in case there was ever any trouble.

Cythera held up her hands. "Oh, no, none of that. I just wanted to chat."

I put the whistle back, but I was still suspicious. "About what?" I questioned, attempting a Vio-brow.

"Oh, just girl stuff. Make up, boys, gossip... Hanon."

"What about her?"

"Oh, she is SUCH a suck-up, am I right?"

I sighed. "Finally, SOMEONE agrees!"

"I so agree!"

"Wait..." I folded my arms. "I know this trick! You're going to trick me into telling you her weakness!"

She sat down on a log. "No, no, no... it's just, well, Ghirahim seems to think that she's some kind of big bad mastermind that will jump out at him at any moment. I've fought that girl. Her technique is sloppy and that second sword is just for show! Also, where did she get that horrific accent?"

I sat next to her. "Tell me about it! It hurts my ears just to listen to it! I think she said it's called a 'kansai' accent, mixed with Southern U.S., whatever that is. She said she picked them up in places called 'Osaka,' and 'Mississippi.'"

Cythera rolled her eyes and put her hands on her hips. "'Hey, come o'er and I'll beat ya to the ground, Y'ALL!'"

I laughed. "That sounds exactly like her! You know... you're not as evil as the others say. Also, what's your connection with Ghirahim?"

She snorted and leaned back. "He's my brother. Honestly, he made Hanon sound like the ultimate nemesis, but when I fought her... I was disappointed. Where did she learn to swing a sword, on the streets? She's handier with her fists!"

I laughed again. Finally someone willing to put Hanon down with me! "Hey," she said as she sat back up, "I have a treat for you. Consider it a peacemaking gift."

"What?"

She handed me a necklace with a large orb on one end. The orb swirled with silver streaks. I took it... and it was cool to the touch. Huh, just like the weather.

"This isn't just any necklace." She smirked. I looked up. "What?"

"Break the orb, and you will have the power of Hanon. All of the Links will admire and respect you once again."

"Really?"

"Of course! And if you ever need me, come to my lair. It's in the Fire Temple. Ghirahim won't hurt you. He's just a wimp with theatrical flair!" She tossed back her hair.

"Alright! Maybe I could come over sometime just to hang out?"

Cythera shook her head. "Can't, I'm afraid. Only if you really need me. You know how your boyfriend is. If he caught you with me... " she slid her finger across her throat. "Let's just say I'm not exactly qualified to go to the Realm of the Goddesses. I'm more of a 'burn in hell for all eternity' kind of girl."

I giggled. "Okay! Only when I really need you!"

"Bye, Zelda!"

"Bye, Cythera!" I waved as she got up and left. She was really nice! I wonder why everyone thinks she's a diabolical villain?

"Zelda?" I swiveled around to see Green. "I thought that was you! Who were you talking to?"

"Oh, just a squirrel!" I bounced on my toes, while the orb sat in my pocket, waiting.

-Hanon's POV-

I looked over (and up) at Vio. He was looking straight forwards, discussing battle strategies with Green. Suddenly he turned to face me.

"What do you think, Hanon?" He questioned. "Is that a good plan?"

Uh oh... I hadn't been paying attention. "Um, sure, whatevs."

Vio smirked. "That was a trick question, to see if you were listening. I said that we should have boiled cabbage for dinner. You hate boiled cabbage. It makes you sick. Last time we had it, you threw up for a week straight."

"Oh..." He placed his hands on mine and I felt heat rush to my face.

"Hanon, what's wrong? You are my best friend, and I know that something is wrong." I looked up at him. Oh gosh... since when did he look like that? His ice blue eyes staring into mine... sweet goddesses of Hyrule I'm becoming a girl.

"Uh, nothing! Yep! I'm perfectly fine!" Was my voice always so high pitched? I looked at Zelda, the Zelda I've known since I was little. She just giggled and nodded. So this was liking someone. Well, it wasn't very fun.

Vio went back to discussing strategies, but he wasn't convinced. He glanced back over at me every 10 seconds. I pulled the long, purple parts of my hair over my face. I hate this.

Green's girlfriend raised an eyebrow. I jumped up on my feet. "I've gotta... go somewhere." I ran away before anyone could stop me.

Down the street, into the woods...

And into something yellow. I looked up to see Pippit. We had been good friends when I was little, even though we had a huge age difference. The kids my age were all jerks. So I buried my face in his tunic and cried. He patted my head. "There, there. Y'know, I haven't seen you cry in a while."

Karane stepped out from behind him. "I think I know what this is about." She made a heart sign with her hands. "Hanon and Someone, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled. She giggled. "Sometimes a girl won't even admit to herself that she likes someone. When she doesn't, this tends to happen."

Pippit sighed. "I just don't get girls."

Karane laughed. "You're a boy! You're not supposed to!" Then she kissed him on the cheek. Oh, yeah, I had forgotten that they were together. I wiped my eyes. "Sorry..."

"Don't be!" Karane smiled. "So who is it?"

I crossed my arms.

"Okay, okay.. I'll guess! Is it that Blue guy?"

"NO!"

"Gavin?"

"[Bad word] NO!"

"That one dude in the purple?"

"NO!"

"Oh my gosh it IS him! Your eyebrow twitched. It does that when you lie!"

I looked at the ground.

"Oh, look, Pippit! She's pouting!"

"AM NOT!"

Karane laughed again, when suddenly someone called her and Pippit's names.

"Oh, that's the headmaster! Gotta go!"

Pippit smiled. "Bye, Hanon! Good luck with... whatever's going on."

I waved goodbye and turned around to leave. Then I heard Karane's voice singing softly behind me.

"... first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage!"

And you wonder why these people get on my nerves.

-a few minutes later-

I entered the house to find almost no one. The only person there was...

Green's girlfriend Zelda. Just my luck.

"Sooooo," I shifted my weight to my right foot. "Where are the others?"

"They all went looking for you."

She did NOT look happy. Not one single bit. Zilch. Nada. Zero. None.

I sat down on the chair across from her. I tried my best to start a conversation. "How's life?" I asked nervously. She let out a loud "hmph!" and stuck her nose up in the opposite direction as the general area in which I was seated. "Well, geez, ya don't gotta be so grumpy bout it." I grumbled.

She gave up looking polite and princessy and crossed her arms. I heard her mumble something that sounded a whole lot like "fool." I threw a pillow at her. Hey, they must be called "throw pillows" for a reason.

Then she got really mad, stood up and smacked me across the face, leaving a red mark. She stormed up the stairs. Geez! That girl is tense!

The front door opened. It was Green and Vio.

"...I didn't have any luck either. Has anyone looked at the Great Deku Tree?" Green said.

"What about right there?" Vio pointed to me.

"Oh. Or that. That's a good plan, too."

I rubbed my cheek. As soon as Vio realized I was injured, he bolted over.

"Hanon... who did this to you?" He put his hand on my cheek. My face got even redder. "Z-zelda..."

Green's head jerked up. "Not my little Zelda?"

"Yep."

Green sighed. "I'll try to talk to her."

-Green's POV-

I watched as Vio left to get some ice for Hanon's cheek. Then I went upstairs and knocked on Zelda's door. "Uh...Zelda?"

"Shut up and go away!"

I knew she hadn't been herself lately, but this was ridiculous.

"Zelda, you're being foolish. Come down, apologize to Hanon, and we can just forget about all of this."

"NOT ON YOUR LIFE!"

I opened the door. Zelda was standing there. But it wasn't my Zelda. Or any Zelda I had ever seen. It looked a bit like my Zelda, but her hair was black and her eyes were red. Her clothes were all dark. Broken blue and silver glass was scattered all over the floor.

I knew that glass. Vio had showed me something in a book once. This was bad. Very very bad.

Zelda has smashed a Turning Stone.

Turning Stones looked like beautiful jewels, but smash them, and you become the worst version of yourself. A dark version. Like a shadow, but different. You gain the power of darkness. This was very very very bad.

"Zelda..."

She snarled. Then, in a flurry of dark colored diamonds, she vanished.

I ran downstairs and jumped the last seven steps, startling the team, who had all arrived. Then I passed out.

-? minutes later-

I woke up to Red poking my nose. When he realized I was awake, he turned around and yelled for the others.

"Hey guys, Sleepy Head over here is awake!" Then he turned to me. "Green, you are such a sleepy head! You fell asleep as soon as you got downstairs! Silly silly Green!" He smiled. Why was he smiling? Zelda was... not Zelda anymore.

But he didn't know that. Nobody knew. Except me. I debated in my head whether to tell them or not. If I did... Red would cry, Blue would get mad, Vio would say "hmmm..." and go to research the subject, Shadow wouldn't care, and Hanon would rally everyone up and go to capture her.

However, if I didn't tell them, and she attacked, Red would cry, Blue would get mad, Vio would say "hmmm..." and go to research the subject, Shadow wouldn't care, and Hanon would rally everyone up and go to capture her. So... might as well get it over with.

"Guys... I have something to tell you."

-Red's POV-

I listened to Green's story. No way it was true! Zelda was too sweet, too pretty, too royal, too... everything!

But it had to be the truth. Green would never lie. He's like the packages at the store! If the label says it's chocolate, it's chocolate! Well, first I have to get Vio to read the label for me. It's not like I can't read, because I can! I just... can't read Ancient Hylian. Our time uses a different form of Hylian. A different... what was it now... vareriashon! That's it! I think...

Anywho, I went back to listening. Green finished his story. I raised my hand.

"Yes, Red?"

"What if the stone was actually evil candy, and Zelda ate it, so now she's a bad guy?"

Blue instantly hit me on the head. "Stop being so dumb, doofus." That really hurt my feelings and I started to cry.

Vio smirked. "If you would remember, Blue, I can read minds now, and I know that you were about to ask the same exact thing."

Shadow laughed really loudly. "Dude, you just got schooled by a nerd in purple!"

Vio shot Shadow "The Look" and he instantly piped down.

I wiped my eyes. "Don't worry, Blue, it's okay."

"Why would I be worried? You know I don't care."

Vio raised an eyebrow. "Actually, he does care. Just ignore him, Red." I did, then I got up and walked over to Hanon, who was sitting alone at the countertop.

"Why are you alone, Hanon-chan? No one likes to be alone. Unless you're Vio..." I reached over and squeezed her cheeks. "Oh my gosh, are you actually Vio?"

"No."

"Do you need a hug?"

"No. Go away."

"Do you want some candy?"

"NO!"

I started to cry again. Hanon immediately looked shocked. "Oh my gosh, Red, I am soooooooo sorry..."

"It's fine."

"It's just... I guess I feel like this is all... my fault. I'm sorry for gettin' y'all involved." So that was it!

"Hanon..." I hugged her tightly. "You don't have to be sorry. It doesn't matter who's fault it is. No matter the problem, we'll always be there for you."

Vio stood up. "I agree."

"So do I," said Green.

"Me too... I guess..." Blue grumbled. He's such a grumpy pants!

"Ditto," Shadow stated. He's so blunt!

Cries of "Me too!", "Ditto!" and "[bad word] YEAH!" echoed across the room.

Hanon smiled. "Thanks a lot, guys."

Then, she took a deep breath, and bowing her head. Suddenly the blond and purple mop snapped back up. "Well, come on and let's settle this!"

Hanon was back.

-Hanon's POV-

I marched my team out. We were the search party. We scoured every inch of the forest, then headed to the Eldin region. Green found something pretty quickly.

"Guys, over here!" He shouted. Then he pointed to the ground. "Footprints. Zelda's size sixes!"

I gasped. "She wears SIXES?! Man, her feet are tiny! I wear eights!"

Vio rolled his eyes. "We are not here to discuss footwear sizes. Let's get back to work!"

Nobody moved.

Vio clapped. "We don't have all day, people, so get moving!" Vio could be SUCH a drill sergeant! I carefully scanned the area. When I turned towards the temple, the scent of dark magic hit me like a Deku nut to the head. Shadow walked over. "You smell it too, don't you?" I nodded.

Then I grabbed my megaphone. "Come on guys! We're a-headin to the firey-temple-place-thing!"

Vio smirked. "You are just really bad with names, aren't you?" I nodded sheepishly. Shadow started looking at me funny. I clenched my fist. He quickly got the message and turned his attention to a sobbing Red, who Green was trying to pry off of Blue's leg with a crowbar.

We walked the rest of the way, except for Red, who got a piggyback ride from Blue. (He felt guilty for the leg crowbar thing.) Red was still letting out muffled sobs from the safety of the back of Blue's hat, and I could see that Blue was regretting his decision.

Vio was staring off into space, but I could tell he was "messaging" someone. He turned to me. "I've contacted the others. Sky, his Zelda, and Fi are waiting above the volcano. Time, his Zelda, and Navi have warped to the spring behind it. Twilight, his Zelda, and Midna are waiting at the front. The enemy is surrounded." Already? That was fast. Now if only Vio would stop looking at me like that. "Hanon, are you okay?"

"Yup. Good."

"Liar. What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Tell me."

"What if I don't want to?"

"I... sorry."

He turned away and stayed like that for the rest of the walk. Had I hurt his feelings? Did he have feelings? Sometimes he seems so robotic that I forget he's human. And I'm not. Not completely, anyway. Another reason for him not to like me. And that's something I'm not supposed to care about! I am so confused.

The rest of the walk to the temple was awkward. I kept trying to start conversations with Vio, but he was ignoring me. I sighed. After a lot of running and a couple of Mogmas being so darn annoying, we finally reached the temple. As we descended the stairs into the temple, we passed Twilight's team, who was standing guard. I gulped. They looked dead serious. The people from that time are all so bitter!

When we entered the temple, I gasped. The lava had all been hardened! There was even a coat rack by the entrance, on which was hanging Ghirahim's cloak, as well as Cythera's. Well, they sure made this place homey.

We made our way all of the way to the boss room. The giant bridge thingy had been replaced with a staircase. A tiny version of Scaldera sat in the corner, eating out of a dog dish. And there, in the center of the room, sat Ghirahim, Cythera, and Evil Zelda. They turned towards us. Cythera laughed.

"Well, look what we have here! A bunch of worthless fools, pretending to be heroes."

Zelda snorted. "Ha! Just let the grown-ups handle the bad guys and you go play with your dollies!"

"Hey!" Red put his hands on his hips. "Mr. Flufferkins is a TEDDY BEAR, not a DOLLIE, thank you very much!"

Blue grabbed him by his collar. "Not helping, Red."

Vio just glared.

"Listen up!" I yelled, taking my most assertive position. "We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way."

Zelda lunged at me with a black sword. I dodged. "Okay... so you chose the hard way. Great." I quickly transformed myseld and the others. Metal struck metal as we clashed swords. I turned to the Links.

"A little help here?" Zelda had matched my abilities. It was a stalemate. The Links didn't move. Red cried. Blue looked stressed. Green was in shock.

Shadow pushed Vio. "Go, help her."

"No." Vio's tone just said the rest: I don't want to be around her right now. I sighed. Shadow ran over. "Alright, I'll help ya." Zelda smirked. "Oh, so you're going to punish me for what I've done? It's exactly what you did."

"What?"

Zelda laughed. "You betrayed your comrades for the light. I betrayed my comrades for the darkness. It's an even trade, don't cha think? I mean, you're just punishing me for something you got away with."

Shadow fell to his knees. "You're... right. This... isn't my battle."

I stooped to his level. "Shadow, it's NOT the same. You did the right thing. She did the wrong. She's just dragging you into quicksand here."

"I wouldn't be able to do it, anyway. I'm just a Shadow. I should've stayed in the Dark World. Nobody cares about me, anyway. Maybe if I just died, people would be happier."

"NO! CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT SHE'S DOING TO YOU? THIS IS WHAT SHE WANTS! ONE NEGATIVE THOUGHT JUST LEADS TO MANY MORE! DESPAIR CLUTCHES AT YOUR HEART AND HOLDS TIGHT!"

"Why should you care?"

"Shadow... because I love you. And Ekat loves you. And Vio, Red, Green, and even Blue love you. And the adult Links and Zeldas and the sidekicks. And Zelda loves you. The REAL Zelda. Not this... imposter."

Said imposter giggled. "I've always hated him, the little brat."

"Liar." I looked around for who had spoken. It was Green. "You told me yourself. You said that you love him just like everyone else."

I stood up. "Zelda, you wanted to be like me, didn't you? Do you think this is who I am? If so, I'm rather offended. I'm not so dense that I can't realize that I've been cheated."

"Cheated?"

"You wanted to be like me. Sure, I'm moderately rude at times, but I'm not downright EVIL. And I would NEVER wear that much black. Can you say creepy goth looking person? I mean, I have nothing against creepy Goths, but the look just don't suit me!"

"Are you saying..." Her gaze softened. "This isn't you?"

"Heck no! You wanted to draw the Links in, didn't you?"

She nodded.

"So why are you pushing them away?"

"I-i don't want them to hang out with you. I just wanted them to talk to me."

Blue stepped forewards. "We can't really help it. I mean, finally, there's a girl who thinks the same way we guys do. Of course we want to hang with her! Who wouldn't?"

Red skipped up to her. "And she laughes at my jokes, even when I know they're not very funny."

Vio looked down at the ground. "She proofreads my novels. Nobody else ever wants to."

Zelda sighed. "I'm... worthless then?"

Red stomped. "No, you're not! You're just good at different things! Like fixing my aprons when they get holes in them!"

Vio mumbled something. Shadow translated. "He said that you write lovely poetry. And I think that you are great with animals. The loftwings love you! You should be the Loftwing Ninja of the Night!" He struck a few karate poses, then tripped over a rock and landed on his face."Ow."

I kicked his side. "Ninja license revoked."

Blue looked at Zelda. "And you can calm me down when I just want to murder a whole city."

Green wrapped his arms around her. "Most of all, you are wonderful at being you."

Light overtook her body and she became the Zelda we know and love once more. And Green greeted the real Zelda with a soft kiss.

Blue cringed. "EW, THAT'S GROSS!"

Vio mumbled some more. Shadow smirked.

Red smiled. "They are soooooooo cute together!"

Ghirahim wiped his eyes. "That... was so touching..."

Cythera kicked him. "Get soft and I'll kill you." They swiftly left.

We walked out into the spring. Time warped us all back to the temple entrance, where Twilight's and Sky's teams greeted Zelda with hugs and pats on the head. On the walk home, Vio turned to me.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. You deserve to keep your feelings to yourself. Just let me comfort you."

I smiled, tears threatening to spill out of my eyes at any moment. "Of course I'll let you."

Shadow walked on my left side, and Vio on my right. Shadow looked to me. "Hanon... thank you... for earlier."

"No problem! To be honest, I should be thanking you!"

Shadow smiled. I looked to Vio. "Vio?"

"Yes?"

"What do you consider your home?"

He grabbed my hand. "Where you and Shadow are. That is my home."

A/N: Hello everybody!

I'm here because the next chapter is going to be kind of silly. It's gonna be a q&a! In story format, of course. Ask your question and Hanon will answer it! I will only do this if I get at least 5 questions. You can ask only up to 3 questions per person, and they can be as random or as personal as you like. Have fun!
