One night I was downstairs in the living room watching television—well, mostly channel surfing—when I landed on a movie I haven't seen in a long time. It was about a spoiled princess who is exiled from her kingdom and to survive a dangerous world she becomes a dragon-slaying warrior. Her story kind of reminds me of my own, but of course, I'm not spoiled.

As I was watching the movie I was suddenly approached by someone. I looked over to see Sheik standing there, having gotten out of bed. The troubled look on her face told me everything.

"It happened again, didn't it?" I said. She fidgeted with the hem of her nightdress. I gave a small sigh, making room on the couch for her. "All right, come here…"

She sat next to me, resting her head on my shoulder. She still had the occasional nightmare, and I always tried my best to comfort her, but I wondered what more I could do…

The movie was over, and the credits theme began to play. Such a soothing song… I quietly sang along, and before I knew it Sheik had dozed off. I think I just found the answer.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I am spoiled. After all, I have my friends and I get to fight them, too, the food here is pretty great, but most of all I have her…

She snuggled against me more. I smiled, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

…And she has me.
