The Four Swordsmen

Chapter 11: Blissful Dreams

Link's POV


I cut through my way through the trees, trying to find my way back to the campsite. I looked at the full moon. I love Zelda, no doubt about it. But I'm not sure she feels the same way. What if she doesn't? Oh... Why does it have to be so complicated?! In my left hand, was plenty of wood. In my right, my Master Sword.

What if she doesn't love me like I love her...? I don't think I could bear that kind of pain I she were to reject me... What if I just forget about telling her at all? I would be able to avoid any heartbreak... Maybe I could just propose to Malon, and forget about Zelda all together. Malon does seem to like me a lot... I guess Ingo won't mind having another worker on the farm...

My train of thought was interrupted when I finally got to the site. However, only Zelda was there. She used a small amount of Din's light to let some light to appear from her finger tips, allowing her to see. She noticed me, and ran up to me.

"Link! Follow me, I found us a temporary home." She told me, grabbing my hand (I had dropped my firewood right before). She broke into a run and so did I, keeping up with her. I felt myself coming to a blush from her holding my hand, but she couldn't see, it was too dark. Her hand was filled with warmth, and butterflies flew in my stomach.

Ooh... I can't just leave her... But I'm... I'm just a lowly commoner... She would never except me greater than a friend... Even if she did love me, I'm sure that the king would just marry her off to some rich prince. Why bother with her if I know what's going to happen...? Looks like as soon as I get back to HyruleI'll just live with Malon on the ranch...

Again, my thoughts were interrupted by a sudden stop. Zelda pointed to the dome with a door and windows. Walking more slowly, she walked into the house, and greeted a Waddle Dee with a friendly wave.

It wasn't exactly a resort. Just one bed for the owner, and another for a guest, which was Roy. He definitely needed it more than us, having a rather large bag of ice on his head.

"I'm sorry, but I only have a few beds. I wasn't really expecting three famous Nintendo characters asking me for a room." The Waddle Dee apologized.

"It's okay. We'll just sleep on the floor." Zelda told him. "Right Link?"

"Yeah." I yawned. "Could might as well get some rest now..." I crouched down, and leaned against the wall.

Zelda smiled. "It really has been a crazy day." She replied, leaning against the same wall, however farther.

"Well... I guess goodnight." The Waddle Dee said, turning off the lights, letting darkness take over the room.


"It's really lovely here." Zelda remarked.

Link smiled. "I knew you'd like it."

Zelda blushed, and grasped Link's hand. A very heartwarming feeling passed between one another. They gazed upon the crystal blue lake of Dreamland. The sun started setting, giving the lake an amazing view. They sat an edge of the lake.

"Link," Zelda got Link's attention. "You know, these last two weeks have been awful."

Link raised an eyebrow. "In King Dedede's office building?"

Zelda nodded. "I was never able to see you for all that time. You really mean a lot to me."

This time, Link felt a bit of blood rushing to his head. "The last week's been terrible for me too. You've meant more than a friend to me for years..."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Link whispered three words, (A/N: That are so very obvious that you'd have to be a complete idiot to NOT figure it out)

"I love you."

Zelda stared at him for a moment, then returned with a smile.

"I love you too."

The two stared at each other, each smiling. They leaned closer together, their faces nearly touching...

Their lips connected, not willing to let of each other go.

Link smiled in his sleep. The dream felt so right to him. He slowly opened his eyes. He blinked and realised something. Zelda somehow made her way closer to Link, and they were both grasping each other's hand. Did I forget to mention that Zelda had also woken up at the same time and fashion?

They both turned away from each other as soon as they realised their act, both flushed in red.

At least no one saw us. The Hylians thought at the same time.

"How cute!" An obnoxious voice echoed. Roy had saw the two embracing, unfortunately, ignoring his conscience that he had a chat with the night before.

Roy, you fool! Do you realise what you have done?

No, what?

That.

Roy had looked up to see in time for both Link and Zelda, still beet red, not in embarrassment, but in anger. Roy felt as though a cold sweat dripped down his neck. Trying to keep his cool, Roy tried asking them casually, "What's up?"

"You have got to promise not to say anything about this to anyone. If you do, we won't bother to show any mercy on your sorry butt." Link shouted at him. Luckily, the Waddle Dee host was not in the room.

"Understood?" Zelda snapped as well. She wouldn't normally use blackmail or violence to keep a secret, but it was personal.

"Understood, ma'am!" Roy saluted, not in control of himself.

Now I can't wait to tell the others about this!

Don't you dare Roy! This is very personal to them!

Ah, blah blah blah, I don't have to listen to you!

You dare question your superior?!

Superior? You're inside my head!!

That means I can do, this!

Suddenly, Roy punched himself in the jaw.

"OW! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!" Roy shouted, grasping his head, and hitting himself in the head. Link and Zelda stared awkwardly at this scene.

"We'll never speak of it again." Link told Zelda, referring to them holding hands.

"Agreed." Zelda assured. She looked humorously at Roy, who had grabbed his pillow and started to have a pillow fight with himself. "But we will speak of this." She added, smiling gently.

"I guess I'll go find breakfast out in these woods." Link said.

"I'll come. Although I am enjoying Roy hurting himself, I'd rather not be guilty in case he kills himself by accident." Zelda replied. The two chuckled a little.

"I HEARD THAT!" Roy shouted. However, the Hylian couple ignored him.

"Right. Come on." Link told her, grabbing his sword. Zelda raised an eyebrow.

"You're bringing a sword?"

"Can never be too careful." Link replied, strapping the scabbard onto his back. He gave a large basket to Zelda, as he kept the other one, and a fishing pole. Zelda chuckled to herself as she followed Link out of the door, leaving Roy beating himself up.

Link's POV


Only three words could describe that dream.

Best. Dream. Ever.

Maybe she does love me...? The dream really made me reconsider my plans. I would give anything to make that dream a reality. Maybe it's a sign? Maybe it's the future?

We walked through the forest, filled with life and energy.

"Okay, this is a good spot. Pick some red apples. Don't go for those purple ones, trust me. If Kirby won't eat them, no one will. I'll go fishing." I said. The forest surrounded the lake, making it easy for us to fish. Zelda smiled gently as she proceeded to grab the fruit of Dreamland.

I got a firm grip on my fishing rod. I threw my line. It was only a minute, before I caught a silver squid like creature. Meta-Knight had told me about these fish. They were called Squishies, and actually good to eat when cooked.

Zelda had about 4 apples in her basket and took an apple from her basket and was about to take a bite. I quickly stopped her. "Check each apple; make sure there aren't any-"

"AHH!!"

"Worms..."

The apple Zelda had grabbed burst into a large worm and crawled up her arm. "Get it off Link!!" She desperately pleaded. I dropped my pole (with the Squishy still on it, who later jumped back into the lake with my rod) and rushed over to her, and flicked the worm off her neck. In a fit of panic, she flung her arms around me. I felt another blush come upon me. I put my arms around her as well. It felt so right to embrace the one I cared about most of all.

After realizing what she was doing, Zelda pulled away, blushing. "Sorry Link. I couldn't control myself." She admitted sheepishly.

"It's okay. I forgive you." I replied, but my heart was screaming 'Please lose control again!'

"Maybe we should head back." Zelda stated. I nodded, and we headed back to the house. Why can't I tell her how I feel?!

Zelda's POV


Aside from the worm in my apple, and being attacked by large cycloptic cloud later on, I had a very good day. Bowser's men never found us, so we were free for the moment. Later in the day, I remained at the edge of the lake. I was thinking about a dream I had earlier in the day.

In the dream, we were sitting on the edge of the lake, telling our real feelings for each other. It ended beautifully with us passionately kissing. I blushed at the very thought of that dream. And when I woke up, I really felt like holding Link's hand a lot longer. Sometimes, I wished I had the Triforce of Courage. Maybe then it would easier to tell him that he was my love.

Wait... If Link would have the courage he needs, than how come he doesn't tell me if he loved me? Perhaps he doesn't have the same feelings I have for him? Is he already in a relationship with someone else? Nonsense Zelda! You love him with all of your heart, and he feels the same way about you! He might not be telling you because he is frightened...

That dream, was it possibly the future? Or is it just another blissful dream?

I noticed a shooting star and smiled.


Meanwhile at the Dee's house, Roy and their host were at the house. Link was outside, looking at the stars. Roy twiddled his thumbs as the Waddle Dee observed Link, just sitting in front of a tree, staring into space. Roy knew he probably didn't know anything, but he decided that he would ask the Waddle Dee about what he should do. However, his conscience threaten- I mean, stopped him.

Ask him anything and I will stuff that sword in your chest!

Roy remained silent and still, haunted by his own mind. Meanwhile outside, Link noticed a shooting star as well. The same shooting star Zelda was staring at, that exact same minute.

He mumbled a few words under his breath. "The only thing I would wish for... Is Zelda's hand in mine..."

Zelda was also wishing something very similar. "Goddess... I just need one thing... Just one... Is the happiness Link brings to me every time I see him..."

"All I want, is for us to be together." They both finished at once.

FLUFF!

Wait, what? They both love each other yet don't even know the other's feelings? So sad... The story is halfway complete! GASP! Only about another ten chapters. That should keep you entertained, right? Irony to the extreme!

Yes, THREE CHAPTERS next time I update, guarantee, or your money back! Wait, you didn't pay anything. Oh well. Anyways, I guess I'll see you in about 2 weeks.

Reviews appreciated! Do I need to work on something? Did I make something Out of the Ordinary? I need to know.

Bye bye!
