If you hate waiting for more chapters, you can always read my other fic while you wait.. OK, I'm done with the shameless self promotion, on with the chapter.

Link tried not to stare. He had never seen Tetra in a dress before, let alone makeup, although he had to admit, it made her look very pretty..
"Well, I know I look different than I usually do.. but do you have to stare?"
Link snapped out of his trance. "Oh.. sorry.."
Tetra smiled. "It's okay. I was a bit surpised myself. So.. you wanna get going?"
He nodded. "You know, you don't look bad yourself.. hey, should we take your little dragon boat?"
"No!"
Tetra looked confused. "He.. uh.. sprung a leak and needs to be fixed," he lied.
"Okay. Well, we'll have to put up with my crew.. but you're all right with that, aren't you?"

"Oh! Link, I am so sorry about all that stuff with the squid.. usually it's smooth sailing to Candlelight Isle.."
"It's okay, I have to fight monsters like that all the time.." he replied, attempting to wipe what had once been the squid's insides off of his tunic.
"You know.." Tetra said, "it's a good thing you're here to protect me, Link.." she scooted closer to him. "You're so-"
"Link! Link, my old swabbie!" Niko shouted, dropping the heap of sopping wet laundry he was supposed to be hanging up to dry. "How are you?"
The little pirate startled him, nearly knocking him over. Tetra scowled and smacked her forehead. "Niko.. we're.. kind of in the middle of.. er, something.. do you mind?" She glared menacingly at him, but he didn't take the hint.
"Oh, I'm sure it can wait, Miss! After all, I haven't seen Link in so long-"
"GO!" she bellowed. "I'm not losing another one because of your stupidity!"
Niko cowered. "Y-yes, Miss Tetra.." He slunk away, tail between his legs.
"Another one?" Link asked, raising one eyebrow.
Tetra looked out over the vast blue seas. "Ah, don't worry.. I liked him, but not as much as you, Link." He blushed again. "You're so cute when you're embarrassed like that." She grinned. "Oh, look.. there's the island.. you know, if you want, you can stay with me tonight.." She winked, smiling mischieviously at Link. He looked absolutely terrified. This made Tetra giggle.
There was a gentle thump as the boat hit the sandy shores of Candlelight Isle. The sun had just begun to set. Pink, red, orange, and several shades of blue melted together in the sky, giving it the look of a watercolor painting. He pulled his Picto Box from his pocket, snapping a picture of the beautiful tropical island.
"Look at those palm trees swaying in the ocean breeze.." Link closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It's so beautiful!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know, it's pretty, now come on, I made reservations. We don't want to be late!"

OK, this one's my least favorite chapter so far.. I felt kinda rushed, you were all begging for more soon.. thanks to everyone who reviewed! If you wanna see more let me know.. I'm having a bit of a hard time finishing this fic. (I'm not too good with romance.)
