Jeshi: *sigh*..u.u…I'm in a very bad mood….I'm very upset…it's the perfect time for me to write…I need something to amuse me…

Nabooru: O_o?! Jeshi?! Upset?! WHY?

Jeshi: *sigh* There's a guy who likes me…I sorta like him too…and his mum died…poor him and his sister…and ever since then, (this was on Wednesday) about 4-5 other people have died…and I pity those who laugh and gossip about these deaths…everyone is so sad, and now I feel so sad…I can't stand sadness..it's the worst feeling in the world to me. When I see someone sad, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel sad..and when I see someone cry, I feel like crying…u.u

Nabooru: O_O…Oh…anyway, Jeshi doesn't own anything from "The Legend of Zelda"!! ^_^…O_o? Jeshi? Why is this the perfect time for you to write then?

Jeshi: Because…this is supposed to be a tragic love story…I am in a very tragic mood right now…u.u…and I have the perfect sad music to go with the mood…

Nabooru: O_O..You..are a VERY odd child indeed!

Hmmm…that was the sad thing…if Link had fought against Ganondorf, it would be a joyous occasion…and the king would have forgotten all about Link telling him off the day before…but he didn't fight Ganondorf…and now the king was extremely pissed off at him.

'nice…' Link thought to himself as he was shooed away by the king. The king didn't even want to look at Link…he didn't even want the thought of Link on the castle grounds to come across his mind, so, in result, Link was forced to leave. They didn't even let him take Epona with him. Sheesh, even after Link had saved their princess too, this was how he was being treated?

The guards the king had sent had made sure that Link was halfway through the market before they decided to head back to the castle. They even left a guard outside by a boundry-set area to make sure that he didn't make it back inside the castle grounds until permission was granted by the king.

"Now now, this is very unnecessary, guys! Quite immature, might I add," Link said as the guards left him standing in the middle of the street, people spying all around him. The guards said nothing, but turned on their heels and marched back to the castle.

Link snorted. This was stupid, the way the king was acting. All because Link said he was scared of losing his daughter. His daughter…Zelda!

"Dammit, now I can't see Zelda!" Link cursed angrily. He glowered at the fully armed guard watching him, only…he wasn't really 'watching'…it was more like smirking. It was that look that said, "I dare you to try me!" And Link would have too. But he didn't want to get into any more trouble than he already was. At this rate, he would never marry Zelda…his bold and ambitious…not to mention very attractive Princess Zelda. He laughed at the thought of the guards, and the look on their faces when they found out that someday, he and Zelda would be married.

He tilted his head to the sky, closed his eyes, and let the warm breeze sweep him away. He deeply breathed in the balmy summer air, that mixed in with the tepid smell of fresh bread, many types of flowers and spices, and any odd fragrances that the ladies tended to mist onto themselves.

He sat himself by the fountain, and absorbed all the energy and life that sprang out everywhere around him. The children laughing and playing, the adults running around searching for the best prices on everything, even getting into squabbles over such vital things as fabrics. Link laughed at this. People got upset over the simplest things! Hmmm…maybe that would explain his situation now? He sighed. No, the king always got upset over everything vital and pointless…especially when it came to Zelda. Well, Zelda wasn't vital and pointless, but…

Now what was Link supposed to do? He was officially kicked out of the castle and the castle grounds, Zelda didn't know where he was, he and Zelda didn't know when or if he was going to be let back in. Yep, Link was DEFINETLY scoring points with the king, wasn't he? Yeah, any day now, he'd be walking down the isle with Zelda…yeah, right! He was on the king's bad side now, any day and he'd be sitting right beside Ganondorf on the king's list of "People to Despise".

Link, now with nothing to do, slowly rose from his spot on the fountain, and began to wander around the town aimlessly. He decided, he'd rather stay away from the public. Why? 1.) People who had seen him so 'kindly' escorted were now looking at him funny. 2.) That stupid guard kept watching him still with that stupid smirky-smile on his face! Oh, how it irritated Link sooooo much! He was ready to go out there and challenge that guy to a 'fight to the death' sword fight!!…ORRR…. He could just go out there and knock that guy off his feet.

'Hehehe…he won't be smirkin' at ME anymore!! Heheheh..' Link plotted evilly. Oh, how he loved to do that. Hmm..maybe that's why Ganondorf picked the job of trying to steal the Triforce and take over the world? It was actually FUN to plot sinister plans to wipe out the entire human race…or have them all chained up in shackles and have them do manual labour for hours on end, whipping them the second they slow down until they finally die…Link stood around thinking about this some more in the middle of the alley. For some reason, the thought seemed to be quite an intriguing topic to him, and it kept his mind off of Zelda, the smirking guard who was just BEGGING to have his ass kicked, the king, Ganondorf, and many more of Link's numerous thoughts that went through his head during the day, sadly enough.
~@~@~@~@~@~@
Zelda woke up, and looked around. She was back in her bedroom…in her bed, and Link wasn't around, obviously. She knew her father would definitely forbid that…not that he wasn't forbidding too much between her and Link already.

She gathered up her strength and raised herself into a sitting position. She looked around. The sun was shining brightly through the open windows of the room. She could feel the soft, warm breeze blow in, and the sound of the birds outside, singing and gossiping away in their bird-like language.

It must have been morning…or pretty close to noon, she was hungry, and the sun was very high in the sky already. How long had she been asleep? She had remembered Link taking her to the castle, the guards helping her off of Epona, and then even though she was supported by a guard on either side of her, she almost tripped and fell on the way up the stairs to her bedroom. Then a maid nearby had replaced the guards and helped Zelda into her bed. Zelda could barely do anything on her own, and when she felt her head hit the pillow, she let herself go and drift off into a deep sleep.

She staggered out of her bed, and left her room. She ventured down the hallways, looking up and down each and every corridor before she started walking down them. That was funny…where was Link? She knew he wouldn't have been allowed to go into her bedroom, so he must have at least sat outside the door of her room? Or he was wandering around the corridors, looking like he was looking for someone or something, when he was really stalling time to see her? She knew that he must have been worried about her, and that he would want to see her right away, but first, to find him! She turned a corner, and walked right into a castle servant.

"Oh, Princess Zelda, you are awake are you?" She asked Zelda. She was actually quite a short lady, with shoulder-length red hair, and freckles everywhere on her face. It was sometimes scary to Zelda.

"Where is Link?" Zelda asked automatically. She didn't care to gossip with the castle help, she wanted to find Link.

"Um…Sir Link? He's…well, the king had him sent away from the castle for a bit..and the grounds for that matter. Yep, he was taken out to the market, and until the king gives word, Sir Link is not allowed to be back on the grounds or near the castle!" She replied shortly.

"What? That…that's not fair to Link…after he saved my life…," Zelda said. She really didn't know what to think then. She was so upset, so shocked at how her father could have commanded such a thing. How was she to see Link? She wanted to be with him so badly, as if she needed to be with him for the sake of her very existence. It sounded strange if you thought about it, but it seemed so right and wrong to Zelda, she didn't know which side ruled over the other. She decided it was time to speak to her father again…and hope for the best…

Jeshi: Okies…I'm finished…

Nabooru: O_o? But that wasn't sad…nor tragic…nor depressing!

Jeshi: _ Nabooru…you are aware that 'sad', 'tragic' and 'depressing' all mean the same thing, right?

Nabooru: Yes, but..but..but..T_T It WASN'T!

Jeshi: Who said it wasn't? Link is banned from the castle and the castle grounds, Link and Zelda cannot see each other…it IS sad…I never had anything else in there because 1.) It was long enough already and 2.) It was good enough already…u.u…just because I'm upset doesn't mean that my whole chapter is going to be a big…angsty thing or whatever…

Nabooru: O_O…Ohhh….okay…

Jeshi: Yes…besides, I talked to the guy already, and I'm feeling a little bit better now…and I talked to another friend O-o..who happened to be a guy…(what, Kaira-chan? You thought I was going to say you? Lol…true, you did talk to me too..but then YOU had to leave…_)

Nabooru: Ooooh…when's the next chapter coming?!

Jeshi: I'll try to work on it when I get home from work tomorrow..u.u…that is…if I'm in the mood…and if not, then I'll wait until the next day, Sunday!…But I have to work on THAT day also, sadly enough…u.u…I usually don't have to, but my mum is making me because she needs to make 300 sandwiches for Monday, so…yeah…my last weekend of summer holidays are already laid out for me…LOL

Nabooru: O_O…Sandwiches….

Jeshi: Yes, they are ever-so-nice! ^.^ (wow, I SMILED for once, tonight!)
