FireFaerie: Okay...so my last entry is still in full effect but here is the chapter Silky has been working on. It's her last chapter guys so read, review, and enjoy.
"Goddesses that feels great!"
Link stretched his arm as far as his stiff joints would allow. It was Thursday and his orthopedist had okayed the removal of his cast this morning. Everyone in the doctor's office had been surprised at how quickly Link's bones had mended tehmselves. His mom had proudly proclaimed that it had been all the milk Link drank.
Checking his watch, Link was glad to see that the lunch bell would be rining in a few minutes. He was damned hungry. He also hoped Mido had made good on his promise to pick up Link's assignments for that morning.
Link carried his doctor's note into the school office to check in.
"Hey Link!" Saria's honeyed voice greeted him as he approached the check-in counter.
"Hey Saria. What are you doing here?"
Saria smiled brightly, "I'm the before-lunch admin assistant. Here, I'll check you in!"
Link handed her his doctor's note.
"Oh! You got your cast off! How does your arm feel?"
"Really good, actually," Link chuckled.
"Well that's good, huh?"
Link just smiled in response. Saria was such a sweet girl. He knew that dating someone and being friends with them were two different things, but he just couldn't understand how Mido could say such bad things about this spritely girl sometimes. He watched as she pulled out a long list and checked a box next to his name.
"So…are you all geared up for Karikio Village's Halloween festival this weekend?"
"Oh crap! I forgot completely about it!" he said sulkingly.
Ordinarily, he, Mido, and Sheik would have been planning their costumes for three weeks now. In the past, they had liked to have three different costumes for each day of the festivities. He guessed he'd just been so messed up with everything going on that he'd forgotten about it completely. He wondered why Mido hadn't mentioned a damned thing about it though.
"Wow, Zel's got to have you pretty screwed up for you to forget about the Halloween fest. It's your favorite event of the year!"
"Yeah, well, I guess without Sheik and with Mido having other priorities things just aren't the same this year."
Saria giggled in recollection, "It's too bad really, you guys had some of the greatest costumes!"
She suddenly looked down at her watch.
"Well, I'm off here! C'mon, we can walk to lunch together."
Saria came out from behind the office counter and Link held the door open for her as they stepped out into the hall to go to the cafeteria.
About thirty seconds after they'd started down the hallway, the lunch bell rang. Link had the urge to dash down the hall to witness Zelda's entrance today, but he refrained. There really wasn't any point anyway. Since Zelda had shown up with her black hair two days ago, Link had been nothing but disappointed and hurt with her appearances.
While he did have to admit she looked damned good in her new little outfits, the sight of her flirting and hanging all over other guys was just killing him.
"So how are things…you know, with Zelda and stuff?" Saria prodded delicately.
Link's gaze graced the floor.
"You've seen her hair, right?"
"Mmm hmm…I've seen the whole change. You're still interested though, right?"
Link sighed, "Yeah, I just don't know what to do. Everytime I get near her, it seems like something fucks it up for me. I think maybe I need a break. Zelda's so bitter right now that I'm not sure I could reach her even if we could have a few moments to ourselves."
"That's really too bad. You know, if you need evidence of Marin and Dante, just remember what I told you about them in that back hall after school. They're still there most days and if anything they're antics are getting worse."
By now, Link and Saria had just about reached the cafeteria.
"Hey, Saria," Link smiled at her, "Are you going to the fest?"
"Me? Oh…oh no!" she laughed a little pitifully, "All of my girlfriends have dates this year and you know I'd usually be going with Mido but…but he's…well, you know. I'll probably just stay home and do schoolwork or something."
Link just looked at her blankly for a moment. Of all the people who might be sad, someone as sweet as Saria was not one of them. Things hadn't been fair for either of them lately. Link thought for a moment, before asking her his next question.
"Hey, how would you like to go with me?"
"Uh, well, Link…" Saria stuttered uneasily.
"No! Not like that. I mean, just as friends, you know? I don't think there's any reason we shouldn't go to the best event of the year just because everyone else has a date or whatever."
"Y…you really mean it?" Saria squeaked excitedly, "I…I mean you wouldn't mind going with me? If it's too awkward…"
"Oh c'mon Saria! Of course I mean it! We've been friends for a long time. There's nothing to worry about. Let's just go and have a good time."
"Yay! I'm…I'm so…HAPPY! Thank you, Link!" Saria gave him a brief and delighted hug.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow around 6:30. Cool?"
"Sure! I'll be ready! I'd better go now, but I'll se you then!"
"Okay Saria! See you!"
Link wandered off to meet Mido and Malon. He felt a lot better knowing he'd made someone so happy, but now he had to figure out what the hell he was going to wear. A moment later, a handful of papers was thrust into his face.
"Here's your damned assignments," said a disconcerted and puzzled Mido, "How's your arm?"
Link stretched it out as fara as possible for Mido and Malon to see.
"It's still stiff and the doctor said I should have my full range of motion back soon depending on how hard I work on it. Feels really great though."
"Cool. So what's up with you and Saria?" Mido pressed.
Link cocked an eyebrow at him and Malon looked over at them suspiciously.
"Well, for your information," Link said smartly, "We made an executive decision that since neither of us was invited to the Halloween festival this weekend, we'd go together as friends so we wouldn't have to miss it."
Mido was silent for a moment before dumbly replying, "Oh."
Malon blinked blankly at Link for a bit before speaking.
"Nobody invited you?"
Link shook his head.
"Mido and I have been working on our costumes all week. I guess we just didn't think…"
Link shrugged his shoulders, "It's cool. I completely forgot about it until Saria just mentioned it. Guess I'll have to figure out about my costume pretty quick though."
"Geez Link, I'm sorry Mido and I forgot to mention anything."
"No, really, it's cool. I hope you guys have a good time tomorrow though. Even after Saria mentioned it, I thought about not going, but I figured why not? She's a good friend and I obviously can't take Zel like I want."
"That's…that's good," Mido swallowed.
"Mido, are you okay?" Malon tugged on his sleeve.
"Yeah, yeah! Of course. I just…it's a little awkward. You and me hanging out with my ex…you know?"
Link furrowed his brows, "If you don't want to hang out, it's all good. Besides, I thought maybe you and Malon would want some alone time this weekend."
Malon smiled, "I'd like some alone time, Mido. Why don't we plan some times to meet up though? I'd hate to totally miss you all weekend."
"Yeah," Mido said dryly, "We should meet up."
"Uhh…cool," Link uttered gingerly.
He was a little bit disturbed by Mido's awkward reactions. He hoped he hadn't just made some huge mistake.
"Hey, there's Zelda," Malon voiced and gestured in Zelda's direction.
Zelda strode across the cafeteria takling animatedly with Fado. Today she wore a tight black and red striped top that laced up in the front and echoed a corsette design with sleeves and no real boost. She had a pleated black skirt and her knee-high socks were striped like her shirt. She wore black high heeled pumps and her dark hair was tied high in a ponytail with red ribbons. Several of her school books were presssed firmly against her breasts.
Link sighed, "How come she always has to look so amazing no matter what look she chooses?"
Suddenly, Fado snagged Zelda's hand and pressed it firmly to his lips. Zelda giggled like mad at his gesture. All the while, a dangerous look passed over Link's face.
"Shit!" Malon exclaimed audibly, "Well, at least it's not Ganon."
"No, no it's not Ganon. It's worse. Much, much worse," Mido piped up.
"What do you mean?" Malon asked curiously.
"Fado's really sly," Link continued for Mido, "He's really good at getting laid."
"But he's supposed to be the perfect gentleman!" Malon stated somewhat panicky.
"Oh yeah, he is to all the ladies, but we guys know what he's really up to," Link muttered while glaring at Fado.
Malon placed a comforting hand on Link's arm and tried to set him at ease.
"I think it'll be okay. If there's one thing I know about Zelda, it's that she's not easy."
"That is, if any of us know anything about Zelda anymore," Link lamented.
The bell rang for them to go to class and they all picked up their books.
Mido turned to Link , "Well, I guess we're off. You want to come with Malon and me to plan stuff for this weekend after school?"
"No, thanks for asking, but I've got a lot of catching up to do on my costume and some other things to do tonight," Link declined.
Mido looked at him doubtfully, but then he smirked.
"What do you have to do? Go home and jack off? Like you really have other pressing things to do."
"Hardy har har, fucker! Just so you know, this arm isn't going to get working by itself. I have to do exercises to get the damned thing working right."
"Alright, fine," Mido huffed, "We'll give you a call tonight then. If we're going to meet up at the fest, we need to start making plans."
"Okay, talk to you tonight then," Link said making his way off toward class.
The next afternoon at 5:48, Link glanced in his bathroom mirror and was impressed at how Hispanic he'd made himself look in such a short time. His hair was jet black and slick back a bit.
He went into his bedroom and put on his costume. Then he looked in his floorlength mirror and sighed with relief. He absolutely hated it when his costumes looked like crap and that's why he'd started so early in the past. Now that his reflection was a considerably believable Count of Monte Cristo, he felt very proud of himself. He felt extremely grateful that he had so many costume pieces left over from he and his friends' tinkering for past fests and parties.
Link was just noticing a few scuffs that he could quickly buff out of his boots whne his phone started ringing. He grudgingly picked up the phone and lazily answered.
"Hello?"
"You still haven't called to ask me to the fest tonight."
Link heard muffled male and female laughter in the background. He didn't say anything as he tried to discern any of the voices.
"Well Link? Aren't you even going to ask?"
"Why would I be asking you?"
"We've always gone together in the past. I thought maybe you'd be feeling some nostalgia by now."
"Like you can't find a date, Marin," Link's voice was laden with sarchasm, "Don't be ridiculous. You know very well I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Besides, I have a date. Why would I need to ask you?"
"What?" Marin screetched, "But that's impossible! Zelda's going to the fest with Fado! Who the hell can you possibly be going with?"
"A very nice young lady, unlike you," Link replied smartly and proudly now that Marin was seething.
Marin sniggered spitefully, "Are you certain we're not speaking about rosy here? I think you're shitting me. I think you and miss palm are gonna cozy up tonight."
Link just sighed. Geez Marin was so stupid. She was just reaching for insults now.
"She's just a good friend Marin and that's all you need to know."
After that he hung up the phone. Looking at the clock, he saw it was 6:08 p.m. Quickly, he grabbed his boot polish and buffer brush and went over the scuffs in his boots and then hustled downstairs and out the door.
At 6:28, Link found himself knocking on Saria's door a few minutes early.
"Goodnight mom!" he heard Saria call from inside before the door opened.
Out stepped a lovely little fairy wearing a short green top and a puffy short green skirt with leavees, vines, and flowers sprouting throughout. Her midriff was well exposed as was her bust. Her deep green hair was pulled into a thick, slightly frizzy, but pretty braid with vines with leaves and small flowers woven in. She was shimmering from all the glitter that covered her and her make-up was all in silver and greens. On her back was an elaborate set of large wings shimmering silver and green with bits of blue. A small pair of leather thong sandals adorned her feet.
"Whoa! You look awesome, Saria!"
Saria grinned, "And you are the most handsome count I have ever seen! I have no idea how you get that crappy Halloween hair dye to work so well for you, but everytime you've put that stuff in, it looks natural."
Link chuckled while walking her to the car.
"Slightly damp hair and a wet comb. It mostly washes out that night. Two days and your hair's back to normal."
Saria pulled off her wings and placed them in the back seat before they jumped into the car and headed off for Karikio Village. Knowing it would take the better part of half an hour to get there, Link flipped on some music. They listened to some classic rock for a bit before Link felt the need to say something.
"Saria, I want you to know that Marin decided to call me and ask me why I hadn't asked her to the fest right before I came to pick you up."
Saria snorted with laughter and smirked, "What did you tell her?"
"I told her that I had a date with a lovely lady who was a dear friend," Link smirked back.
Saria gasped and blushed and then burst out laughing.
"I…I can't believe…you told her…that!" she eeked out between waves of laughter.
Link shrugged, "I didn't lie."
Saria just kept laughing.
"Seriously though," Link started, "If there's trouble…"
"I'll tell her to shove it!" Saria stated smugly.
"Really, Link, you're such a sweet guy. I never understood what you were doing with her lousy bitch ass anyway!"
Link raised an eyebrow. Had Saria really just said the words "bitch ass?" He came to a stop sign and looked over at Saria meaningfully.
"Saria, really, thank you!" he said before hitting the gas again.
"Well, I never liked Marin the whole time I was dating…" she paused to compose herself, "Mido and we were all hanging out together. Marin was such a lousy tramp and a bad fit with you. You and Zelda are such a good match. We really need to get you guys back together."
Now it was Link's turn to blush.
"You really think that about me and Zel?"
"Oh yeah, since all this started, a lot of people have said you'd be a great couple. It's just that a lot of people also think you screwed it all up when we both know that's not true."
"Really?" Link felt at a loss of words.
"Really and truly," Saria reassured him with a smile.
"Hmm…" Link mused happily and was quiet for a bit.
"Saria?" he suddenly asked.
"Yeah?"
"How…how do you stand it? You know, Mido with Malon?"
"Barely," she said sadly, "But you deal…you just deal."
Link glanced over at the lovely spritely girl and was stricken by the misery on her sweet face. After Mido's reactions earlier today, Link wasn't sure Mido was over Saria. He had a feeling that deep down, Mido still had feelings for her, but he didn't dare say anything to get her hopes up. Link knew that only time would tell.
"Link, if you get time to be with Zelda this weekend, I want you to go and hold her for all it's worth," Saria commanded, "Don't worry about me if we get separated. I'll figure something out."
"But Saria, I don't think…"
"Damn it! You're Link! Stop being all emo and turn back into Link!"
Link gaped at her in genuine surprise.
"Don't give me that look, Link! You need to stop dragging your ass around and feeling sorry for yourself. Normally you're so assertive and cool about everything. Zelda's toying with you and you're playing right to her whims. If you ever want Zelda back, you're going to have to step up and take control back. You are the guy who used to be able to sweep any girl off her feet. Become that guy again and Zelda will fall for you once more."
"Okay, Saria, okay," Link chuckled.
"I'm serious!" Saria asserted, "You're cunning, mischevious, smart, and damned hot if you don't mind me saying so. Zelda's so bitter that you're going to have to break her. Make her play to your whims. Change her mind and make her see that you're still the guy that she adores. You know how to do it. You know what must be done. Get your ass out there and do it!"
By the time Saria was done, Link's face was beat red with embarrassment.
"Yes, you needed and deserved a swift kick in the ass. Also, you're welcome!" Saria grinned.
Link scratched his head in humiliation with one hand.
With a meek smile he responded, "You know, you're right."
Then they laughed together as Link pulled into the festival parking lot.
