A/N:
Hey, hey! Sorry it's been so long. Like I said, I was on a trip, and when I got back I didn't feel like continuing 'Smile', so I wrote the Zelda/HP party one instead. Now I'm ready, so, if you don't mind, I'd like to continue. (Wow, it really looks like I'm blaming YOU, the ever-so-wonderful reader and REVIEWER for why I haven't written in 'Smile' for a bit. Well, just so you know, I'm not.) Right now, I have the song 'She Loves You (Ya ya ya) in my head. Like you really give a damn. You just want to read the story, right? Well, go right ahead. Actually, readers need not even BOTHER with the author's notes anyways, and for that matter, the disclaimer! But it is the law, (or is it?) to put a disclaimer, so here I go!

~*~Smile If You Love Me~*~
~*~Chapter 5: He Said It~*~
Though neither the King nor Impa mentioned anything to Zelda about marriage for a while, Zelda felt that they were plotting to marry her off to Kel. Zelda knew that she would never marry Kel. For the past several months, she had found various excuses to leave the castle to visit Bob. She never let anyone know about her secret visits to Bob, for she knew that she'd never be allowed to marry him. For the past couple of months, Zelda had gotten to know Bob very well. She visited him nearly every day, and every day she loved him more and more. Every day Bob loved Zelda more and more as well. But every time she went to visit him, though their times together were wonderful, Zelda kept having an itching feeling inside of her that one day Kel would take her off somewhere, and she would never see Bob again. She shared her feelings with him, and he understood how it must feel. He promised Zelda that he would always protect her, and no matter what, one day they would be married. He didn't care if they would have to wait for the King to die first. Even though that day might come when Zelda is too old to have children. But they were going to marry.
One day, Zelda entered the Happy Mask Shop a mess. Her cloak was falling off, her hair was flying every which way, and her sobbing face was stained with tears.
"Zelda!" exclaimed Bob as she walked through the door. He closed shop and grabbed her around the waist. "What's wrong, Honey?" he asked as he pulled her into the back room and sat her down on a couch. Zelda just sat there sobbing. Bob sat beside her, holding her head and hugging and kissing her. "Zelda tell me. What happened? Did Kel come? Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No," sobbed Zelda. She laid her head on Bob's shoulder and cried some more. "There's nothing you can do to help," she said between sobs. "My father knows nothing of you, and even if he did, he wouldn't allow our relationship." Bob leant over and kissed Zelda's red face. "He said it," she said quietly.
"Who said what?" asked Bob, sympathetic but confused.
"My father," said Zelda. "He told me just now. He said that he and Impa have been planning for a long while. They talked to Kel. He wants to marry me." She cried some more.
"Shhhh," said Bob. "I told you. We're never going to let that happen."
"I know," said Zelda. "But it will be hard."
"Hard," said Bob, grasping Zelda's trembling hands. "But not impossible. We'll make it. You won't have to marry Kel." Zelda pulled hard on Bob's hands and cried into his shoulder. "I don't care if I die in the process. You won't have to marry a man you don't love."
"Then I will never marry," said Zelda. She looked into Bob's eyes. "For you are the only man I will ever love."
"Then you will marry me," said Bob.
Zelda smiled.
But only for a bit. Soon after, her face turned to a look of worry, and she held Bob's hands tighter. "But what are we going to do?" she asked.
"I don't know." It was clear that Bob was thinking, but he wasn't coming to any conclusions as of yet.
"We could elope!" said Zelda standing up. Bob could tell she was starting to get desperate.
"You know that would never work!" said Bob. "I thought you had more sense."
"And I thought my father had sense!" Zelda screamed. "But no! He wants to marry me off to that son-of-a-bitch Kel! And I want NO part of it. He doesn't even pay attention to my friggin FEELINGS! How the hell do you think I feel???"
Bob stood up to answer her, but Zelda cut him off.
"It's horrible being daughter of the King -"
"No it's not!" said Bob. "It's a blessing -"
"How the hell would you even KNOW? You've never even been royalty. You have no friggin CLUE! You don't do anything worth a damn until you're married where you produce an heir, and you don't even get to choose your friggin HUSBAND!"
"I will be your husband!" said Bob.
"And then you've got some 'knight-in-shining-armor' ass hole knockin' on your door to save you! God, how pathetic can this get? Why can't I just be friggin NORMAL like you??"
"Normal like me?" Bob asked, enraged. "Well, let me tell you something, Zelda. If you think being rich and royal is a pain in the ass, how about trying to be poor like I always was? You don't know how bad it feels to have everyone look at you like you were a piece of shit. It's not fun. Not fun at all!"
"But at least the piece of shit gets to choose his own wife!"
"Zelda!" Bob stood up and put his arms around her waist and kissed her. "You can choose! You can marry me!"
"And we can't elope?" asked Zelda. She pushed away from Bob. "You're just too damn confident! The odds that I have to marry Kel are 1,000,000 to friggin 1! There's no way we'll make it together!"
"And you're just too damn pessimistic! I run the Happy Mask Shop why? Because I'm friggin HAPPY! I want you to be happy too, but if you don't want to, then, the hell with you! If you think you would be HAPPIER marrying Kel, then go ahead and do it, and I can go on with my wonderful life of putting on a fake happy smile to all the little sons of bitches that walk into my store every damn day, and still be happy. But," he said, calming down, " if you choose to go against the odds, and marry me, I'll be happier than anyone will ever be capable of being." He smiled at Zelda.
Zelda tried to keep her frown on, but it didn't stay. She smiled too, just a bit. Bob went up to her to kiss her, but Zelda broke away. Out of the door she went, and headed back to the castle.
"Goodbye, Zelda," Bob said to the window glass after she had gone. "I hope to God that I see you again. I love you."
