BWHAHAHA! You peoples RUUUUUUULE MAAAAAAAAAN! Lol =P Well, here's the next chappy. A few people were going back and forth about whether or not I should make Sheik to turn out to be a girl or boy…WEEEEEELL, LET ME TELL YOU! *Wink* You'll hafta wait and see.

            "My name's Roy. You're Sheik, right?" Roy held out his hand once more after leading Sheik outside.

            Sheik merely nodded while staring at Roy's hand.

            "So," Roy decided to be blunt. "Are you a boy or a girl?" he asked.

            "Boy?" Sheik asked.

            "Oh, you're a boy?" Roy asked (Almost with a hint of disappointment.)

            "Girl?" Sheik asked.

            "A…girl? Wait, which one are you?" Roy asked confusedly.

            "What are boy and girl?" Sheik wondered out loud.

            "Well…um…guys have…this thing…and…girls…uh…" Roy didn't know how to put it. He blushed.

            "Thing?" Sheik asked, after plopping down on the ground unexpectedly.

            "Well…let's put it this way. Girls have a chest." Roy said.

            "You have a chest too." Sheik pointed out, prodding Roy's flat chest.

            "No, no, no…see, girls have…um…well…ya know." Roy cocked his head to the side, blushing a little more. He'd never really…talked about…girl…things.

            "No. I don't know." Sheik replied.

            Roy put his hand to his forehead, and then put it down after a moment. "See, guys have this thing. It's called a—" Roy stopped abruptly. What if Sheik was a girl? Would she really want to be hearing what I guy's thing was called? "Well…here." Roy took a hold of Sheik's collar, but was immediately picked up and thrown back-first against the double doors to the stadium.

            Sheik looked back at Roy, then sat back down calmly.

            Roy groaned, getting to his feet slowly, his back aching. He had attempted to look down Sheik's suit to see, but then, after being thrown into the stadium, he thought that if Sheik actually were a girl, Roy's eyes would be stained until he was married. Roy reasoned with himself, "Ok, maybe that wasn't such a good idea…"

            "No. It wasn't." Sheik said, dusting its collar off.

            "Ok. Hmm…let's see…" Roy muttered. How would he know if Sheik was a boy or girl? He wasn't allowed to touch Sheik, which was for sure…unless he wanted a broken back. He felt way too uncomfortable discussing girl and boy…body parts, and Sheik didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

            Sheik stood up suddenly, "I'm hungry." It said shortly. It sprinted into the stadium and right to the snack bar, leaving Roy in the dust.

            'How did Sheik remember where the food bar was?' Roy thought, after walking in as well.

            "Now leave." Ganondorf said bluntly after a minute or so of comforting Samus.

            "But I—" Samus said, looking up into Ganondorf's eyes.

            "I said leave." Ganondorf said coldly, removing his hand from Samus's silky hair.

            Samus stood up and turned, her head drooping. She walked out of the room, shutting the door lightly behind her.

            Ganondorf's heart weighed heavy again. 'What is this?' Ganondorf thought, having never felt that feeling before. It certainly wasn't the feeling of revenge. Could it be…guilt?

            Samus walked into the main room, loosening her engagement ring, glancing towards the trash can, opting where to put it, but then placed it inside her pocket. She lifted her head and looked around the room, then saw Sheik.

            Sheik turned, sensing someone behind it, while Samus was still five feet away. "What?" Sheik asked in a somewhat monotone voice.

            Samus felt shy for the first time in her life. "Are you new here? I've never seen you before." Samus picked up a plate and stood beside Sheik, glancing sideways at it.

            Sheik shrugged and grabbed a few carrots, putting them on its plate, then moved on.

            Samus heaved a sigh. She felt as put down as Marth did when Samus had brushed him off. She fast-walked up to Sheik and tried again. "What's your name?"

            "Sheik." Sheik muttered shortly underneath its cloth mask.

            "Oh." Samus said after some silence. Wasn't he (Samus figured Sheik was a guy) going to ask her name? Seeing Sheik begin to move again, Samus said quickly, "Well, my name's Samus Aran."

            All Sheik did was glance back at her, not even nodding. Sheik took the last piece of food he wanted and walked away, leaving Samus feeling put down.

            "Hey, bud. What's the deal with Sheik?" Marth asked as Roy walked towards him.

            "I'm…not sure. It was a little hard talking with her." Roy said.

            "Oh, so Sheik's a she?" Marth asked.

            "I'm…not sure about that either. But I have a good idea she is." Roy muttered 'Hopefully…' he added in his thoughts.

            Marth winked at Roy.

            "What was that for?" Roy asked.

            "Are you gonna go after her?" Marth toyed with him.

            "Psh! No!" Roy blushed. He walked towards Sheik. Surely Sheik would have to remove her cloth mask while eating. Maybe then he'd see if she was really a she by the shape of her face and her lips. (Sometimes you can just tell, ya know?)

            "Hey Sheik, bud!" Roy sat down beside Sheik, who had just sat down on a bench in the right corner.

            All Sheik did was glance at Roy like she had at Samus.

            "So." Roy cleared his throat. "Are you going to eat?"

            Sheik replied by picking up a carrot.

            Roy folded his arms, pretending to look at the wall, but staring at Sheik out of the corner of his eye, the suspense killing him, as if it would take ages for Sheik to remove her cloth mask.

            Sheik opened the top of her mask a half-inch, dropped the carrot inside, then closed her mask, revealing nothing but a centimeter below her nose.

            Roy gaped. He'd figured she'd take off her whole mask to eat. She must have caught that food with her tongue. Then he got an idea… "Hey Sheik, want to come over for dinner tonight?" He asked her. He could have soup made. Surely THEN she'd have to remove her mask, or at least pull it down below her lips. Maybe she'd even change into something else.

            Sheik looked at Roy straight in the eye and said, "No."

            Roy had never been turned down that easily. "Why not?" He tried.

            "I don't know where the heck I am in this stupid city." Sheik replied coldly. "I don't even have a place to stay. As far as I know." Her eyes went dim and she dropped another carrot inside her mask.

            "Y-you could stay with me!" Roy volunteered. "I rented a big house just East of here! There are plenty of guest rooms."

            "No. I'll manage." Sheik said, picking up a black olive and dropping it inside her mask. She finished off her food and threw the paper plate away, then walked towards her creator – Zelda.

            If Sheik was a girl, she sure was an independent one…

Uh oh, looks like Sheik doesn't have a clue what it is. Samus thinks Sheik's a guy, and Roy thinks Sheik's a girl! Oye! Moozers! Please review ^.^
