A/N: New chapter. Thank you for all the reviews. I'll read and review stories anyone would like me to, except lemons (I'm 14, I don't need to read them.).
Disclaimer: You want my Dad's sock collection? Then sue me for using things I don't own. Honestly, like anyone would...
Link went up to his room to escape and change out of the uncomfortable "good" clothes. Mido and Saria stayed downstairs.
"I wonder who the girl is?" Saria asked.
"I don't have a clue," Mido said.
"I thought it would be that Malon person. But he seems so sure it isn't."
"Yeah," Mido said. "It could be anyone."
"She knew the other Link though," Saria said. "But he met a lot of people."
"How? He was only gone for a few months," Mido said.
"Don't worry," Saria replied. She knew Mido didn't like the other Link, and he would most likely say that he was lying when he told Saria about everything. Mido didn't say anything.
Soon enough, it was a quarter to twelve. Mido was asleep, he had given up waiting. Saria was talking to Link and bugging him about the girl.
"You're SURE it wasn't the farm girl?" she asked.
"Look, Saria, I have to go," Link said. "She'll be there in fifteen minutes and I need to change back into those clothes."
"Oh, OK. Make sure not to crease the tunic," she said.
Link went upstairs and changed as quickly as possible. He checked his watch and then remember it showed Termanian time. He ran downstairs.
"Saria, what time is it?"
"5 to," she replied.
He went back outside slowly, adjusting his tunic collar. The girl was already there, in the same brown cloak.
"Hello," he said nervously.
"Hello Link," she replied.
"So, have you decided whether to tell me or not?" he asked.
"Yes."
"What did you decide?" Link said.
"I've decided that I'd like to show you rather than tell you..." Link smiled. She pulled down her hood. She had long, blonde hair and a pretty face. She smiled at Link.
"Aren't you surprised?" she asked.
"I don't know who you are. I don't come from around here, remember."
"Oh! I am Zelda."
"Zelda...as in Princess Zelda?" Link asked.
"Yes," she said. Link blinked a few times. Here he was, on a date with a Princess. He had never met Hylian royalty before and he didn't know what to say.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Your Majesty," he said formally.
"You don't need to act like that," Zelda said, laughing. "I go here to escape being a Princess."
"Why would you want to do that?" he asked.
"You obviously don't know much about royalty. As I said before, I'm not allowed out of the castle. I spend most of my time in a little courtyard. I have an attendant who follows me wherever I go," she said.
"Ah. Well, can't you have visitors?"
"Are you joking? Hyrule Castle is packed with guards. No-one is allowed in," she replied.
"Why not?" Link asked.
"Paranoia," Zelda replied. "They're worried about people destroying the castle or even attacking me or my parents."
"Oh. OK. Can I meet your parents?" Link asked.
"No! They don't like me being friends with anyone. They'd probably have a heart attack if they found out about this..."
"You mean to say you don't have friends?" Link asked.
"Well...no. It's not because I'm anti-social or anything, my parents just don't let me have friends," Zelda said.
{What a life,} Link thought. "That's OK," he said aloud.
They talked for a long time, and soon the sun began to rise again.
"I have to go," Zelda said. "If anyone notices I've been gone, I'll be stuck in my room with a guard outside the door for a week."
"Bye," Link replied.
Zelda left for the castle, and Link went back to the hotel. The waiter was busy getting the tables ready for the guest's breakfast. Link walked past him, climbed the stairs to his room and went back to bed.
Link woke up to the sound of rain falling on the window. (A/N: He he, cliche!) He yawned, dressed and went downstairs, to be greeted by Mido.
"Hey Link," he said.
"Hi Mido," Link replied. He yawned again. It was eight o'clock. {Two hours sleep! Great!} "Where's Saria?"
"Upstairs," Mido said dreamily.
"What's up with you," Link asked.
"Oh...nothing...it's just that..." Mido said, still in his dream world.
"It's just that what?"
"She...she kissed me," Mido whispered. Link smiled. {I should have seen that one coming.}
"Well, uh...congratulations?"
Mido flushed. {Better change the subject here,} he thought. "Hey, what about that girl of yours? Did she turn up?"
"Yeah," Link said. He sounded as absent as Mido.
"So?"
"She told me who she was," Link replied. He paused, waiting for Mido to ask the inevitable question.
"Well? Who?"
"Princess Zelda," Link said. Mido began to laugh.
"How dumb do you think I am? Princess Zelda? As if!"
"I'm not making it up!" Mido stopped laughing quickly.
"You aren't? You are seriously saying it was Princess Zelda?"
"Yes," Link said.
"Congratulations to you too!"
"Thanks."
"What was she like?" Mido asked curiously.
"She had pretty blonde hair, and really nice blue eyes. She was really nice and casual, but she seemed lonely," Link said. It was his turn to go red.
"Why did she seem lonely?"
"She was talking about her parents not letting her have friends, and not being allowed out of the castle. I asked if she had visitors and she said no-one went in the castle, it was surrounded by guards."
"Oh..."
"But I was thinking of going anyway," Link said.
"What? Going anyway? What are you, crazy?" Mido asked in surprise.
"No, but she seemed so lonely." Link didn't want to mention that the other Link had actually gone to visit Zelda and he didn't get caught.
"Honestly, you have the most major crush I've ever heard of."
"This is coming from the guy who did something that was supposed to be deadly for a girl," Link said.
"I was actually pushed into it, if you want to know," Mido said.
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"I wasn't brave enough to go. I was afraid of what would happen. The Goddesses came to me." He paused. "They gave me "protection" and "courage". I found out later it was a bunch of lies. They didn't help me in any way, shape or form."
"They did," Link said wisely.
"What are you talking about?"
"They gave you courage alright. You were afraid to go?"
"Yeah..."
"And they came to you and gave you "courage" and you go?"
"And you are saying?"
"They actually did get you to go, without doing anything at all. You expected to be braver, so you were. Mind over matter."
"Hey, you're right," Mido said.
"Of course," Link said in a fake arrogant tone. Mido laughed. "I'm going to see Zelda now," Link said.
"Good luck," Mido replied.
