Zelda's BIG Mistake ~*~*~*~ By: LinkGirl

Chapter 2: Link's New Friends

Author's Note: I DO own some people in this fanfic now: Dan, Ricky, Justan, and Sanddra.  Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

~*~*~Link's Point of View

            "What can we do today?" Dan asked.

            "We can go scare some people with masks," Ricky said.

            "We do that every week," Dan pointed out.

            "How 'bout we play tag," Justan suggested.

            "That game is for babies," Ricky said, "What if we go chase the dogs?"

            Dan, Ricky, and Justan were my three best friends.

            Dan was my very best friend.  We had been friends since before we could remember.  We lived next to each other and he would visit me everyday just after schooling.  He had blond hair, like me, and brown eyes.  He was taller then me, but of course everyone was taller then me because I was so short.  He loved going around playing 'Hero.'

            Ricky had moved to Hyrule Market about two years ago.  Ricky was a troublemaker.  He would always come up with cruel ideas...which always got him, or us, in trouble.  Ricky was a red head and was the tallest.  He had brown eyes like Dan, but the brown in Ricky's eyes was a lot darker.

            Justan is the smartest of us all.  But Ricky always calls him 'sissy' because he never wants to do anything dangerous and whenever he gets hurt he would...well...start crying.  He had green eyes and brown hair.

            All four of us were sitting against the fountain in the middle of the market place.

            "Heeeeelllloooooooo...Anyone in there," Dan said waving his hand in front of my face.

            "Huh...Yeah, what?" I asked, I was still thinking about my dream.

            "We're trying to figure out what to play," Ricky said.

            "Oh...ummm...How about we look for Sanddra," I replied.

            Sanddra was Dan's sister and was a year older then all of us.  She was a tomboy and acted sort of like Ricky.  She was very tall for her age and looked similar to her brother.  She had brown eyes and long blond hair.  Just that she would always put her hair in a bun so no one ever really knew the length.  There weren't any girls her age in Hyrule market so she just played with us.

            "Fine," Dan, Ricky, and Justan said at the same time.

            We found Sanddra in the Shooting Gallery.  She had gotten a slingshot from her parents a few weeks ago, but she had never let any of us try it out.  All four of us watched her hit the targets.  She hit most of them.

            "That was great Sanddra," I said to her once she was done.

            "Thanks, I've been practicing a lot," she replied.

            "Hey Sanddra, want to play with us," Dan said.

            "Okay, what are you doing?" she asked, as we all exited the Shooting Gallery.

            "We're not sure yet," Justan said, with a smile.  Dan, Ricky, and me knew that Justan had a crush on Sanddra.  He had told us a few months ago, and it was sort of obvious.

            She smiled back and said, "Who wants to try out my slingshot?"

            "You're going to let us try it?" I said, excited at the idea.

            "Yeah...but let's go over by the castle, so you guys don't accidentally hit anyone," she said still smiling.

            So we headed off to the field by the castle.  All of us were so excited.  We would finally have a chance to try out Sanddra's slingshot.

~*~*~Zelda's Point of View

            "Hi Zelda," said the guard who was guarding the gate to the castle.

            I didn't reply, I was to zoned out.  I barley knew where I was going.  I walked a few more feet and stopped.  I leaned against the tree that was in front of me and closed my eyes.  For some reason I just couldn't think.

-----Some Time Later

            "Wake up," someone was shaking me awake.

            "Huh...wa..." I stammered as I opened my eyes.  I must have fallen asleep.  Sitting in front of me was a girl with blond hair and brown eyes.  She was rather tall and was wearing a red shirt.

            "Are you all right," asked the girl.

            "Hey let me try!" I heard a yell.

            "I'm next," called another voice.

            "Jeezz...I guess I'm going last," said a very familiar voice, it sound like...someone I knew, but I couldn't pinpoint who.

            "QUIET," the girl yelled, looking around, "Can't you, like, take turns?"

            "I've been saying that!  Ah, never mind," said the familiar voice.  Who was that, I was just too sleepy to tell who was specking.  Then a boy joined the girl.             "Who is she?" said the boy.  Was that...?

            "Bets me," said the girl.

            "Link?" I said in a groggy tone.

            "Huh, what did you say?" asked the boy.

            "Link..." I repeated.

            "Who are you?" he asked.

            "Zelda..." I said in the same groggy voice...I was SO tired.

            "PRINCESS ZELDA!!!" the girl yelled, terrified.

            "Oww...I'm awake!" I said opening my eyes fully and sitting up.  I looked closely at the boy.  It was Link but he looked so...different!  He was not wearing Kokiri clothes, and had Hylian clothes on.  The hair that used to wave in front of his face had been cut.

            "Your Princess Zelda!" he said, also terrified.  Two other boys came up behind Link and the girl.  One had red hair and the other had brown hair.

            "She doesn't look like the princess," said the boy with red hair.

            "Well of course she does!  She just isn't dressed like she usual does..." said the boy with brown hair.

            I was now awake and was listening to the conversation with interest.  "Ummm, am I not here or are just trying to annoy me?" I said, now smiling.

            Link smiled and gave a laugh. "You don't act like a princess," he said with another laugh.

            "Well, what did you think a princess acted like?" I asked.

            "Touchy, not nice, rude..." said the girl.

            "I'm anything but those things," I replied.

            "HEY!!!  I HIT SOMETHING!!!" shouted out an unknown voice.

            "Dan, we're not even watching you," the red head shouted back, "Get over here!"

            "Ummm...Could I possibly have your names," I asked in a polite way.

            "Oh...I'm Sanddra," said the girl, "He's Ricky," pointing to the red head.  "He's Justan," pointing to the boy with brown hair.  "And the guy who just INTERRUPTED!!!"

            "Sorry," said a boy with blond hair, who walked over to where we were sitting.  He was holding a slingshot.

            "His name is Dan," she said rolling her eyes.  "And you already seem to know Link."

            "How do you know my name anyway?" Link asked.

            I stared at the ground.  How was I supposed to say, 'Well, I came from the future where you are the Hero of Time, who had saved Hyrule from the King of Evil, Ganondorf.'?  That would sound stupid and crazy.  "I once saw someone call you by that name," I lied.

            Link looked at me strangely, he didn't believe me.  He then said, "You're a bad liar, you know that."

            "I know..." I replied softly.  There was silence.

            "Does anyone care if I hit something OR NOT!" Dan said, breaking the silence.

            "FINE!  What did you hit?" Sanddra yelled, very irritated.

            "Uhhhhhh...I can't remember," Dan said.

            "I want to try the slingshot," Link broke in, trying to stop Sanddra from straggling Dan.

            Dan gave the slingshot to Link.  Link stood up and walked away from us.  He turned around and took aim at something...

~*~*~Link's Point of View

            I turned around and took aim at a small stone right next to Justan.

            "Hey Zelda watch this," I said.

            "Link! What are you..." Sanddra started, but it was to late.  I let go of the seed.  The seed went flying and hit the stone making it jump into the air.  Everyone was quiet.

            "Whoa...Link, you just hit a very, very, very small rock, from very, very, very far away!  On your very, very, very first try!" Ricky exclaimed.

            I stared at the stone.  What had come over me?  Why had I done such a stupid thing...to try and impress Zelda?  And further more, how had I hit that stone?  I had never used a slingshot in my life!  Yet I had hit that tiny stone with ease.

            "Link, how did you do that?" asked Sanddra.

            "I'm not sure..." I replied.  I looked at Zelda she didn't seem surprised at all!

            "That was your first time using a slingshot?" she asked.

            "Yeah," I said in a small voice.

            She just gave me a smile and got up.  "Could we go to the market?  Maybe you guys can show me around," she said.

            "OK," said all my friends.

            We all headed back to the market.  I gave Sanddra back her slingshot.  I was still wondering how and why I had hit the stone, when Zelda touched my hand.  I looked at her and she looked back at me.  She gave a smile and ran ahead of us down into the market.  Suddenly all my thoughts about the slingshot vanished...I liked Zelda...

~*~*~The King's Point of View (Zelda's father)

            We were riding through the Lost Woods.  I had to get as far away from Hyrule as I could.  I need to put the Ocarina of Time in a safe place.  Far away, far away from the evil now floating over Hyrule.

            "Your majesty, I can feel an evil here.  We should go back," said one of the soldiers.

            I had to agree.  I felt a huge amount of evil here, but we couldn't go back. "We must keep going," I said, unsure of what to do.

            "Who's that?" said another soldier, pointing up ahead.

            We rode a little further; I could start to make out a man riding a horse.  The man was wearing black and I could feel some strange power coming from him.
