AN: Gotta love the lonely nights, eh? Don't know about you, but feelings of loneliness and some AFI get me going on writing :-P

Anyways. This brings you more of Link's tortured soul... maybe something on Gannondorf too... (such as next chapter or something). Anyways, hope you all enjoy this one as much as the last Link song.

Chapter 4: AFI: The Days of the Phoenix

Link sat there, watching as the smashers go by. He was day dreaming on a bench in the middle of a park on the HAL Labs property. His headphones visible over his hylian ears, his CD player in whereever he keeps the rest of his gear. He sighed as he watched Zelda go by and his mind started to drift as his younger form came up and started on a random story.

~I remember when

I was told the story of

crushed velvet, candle wax, and dried up flowers

The figure on the bed all dressed up in roses calling...

beckoning to sleep... offering a dream~

Link sighed as he watched his younger self storm off having realized he wasn't listening to his story. Link eventually got up and wandered off to raid the fridge, pending on if Kirby or Yoshi had already gotten there. He passed Zelda by in the hall and said hi to her but she just kept walking, for the 25th time in a row. He watched her walk by, say "hi" to little Link and give him a hug. Link turned, hurt by this and closed his eyes and drifted again.

~The words were mystical

as purring animals

The circle of rage

the ghosts on the stage appeared~

He was soon called off to a team battle after finding next to no food in the refridgerator. He sighed and was soon surprised to find himself on a 2 on 1, him and Zelda against Jigglypuff.

~The time was so tangible, I'll never let it go.

Ghost stories handed down, reached secret tunnels below

No one could see me~

They smashed Jigglypuff through the tunnels in the Hyrule Temple field and Link enjoyed spending the time with Zelda. After the battle he was immensely tired and he left for his room to sleep.

~I feel into yesterday. Our dreams seemed not far away. I want to stay. I fell into fantasy~

He dreamed again of Zelda and soon found himself wishing he didn't have to wake up. Of course, as soon as he noticed it was a dream he was awake enough so that he couldn't go back to sleep. He wandered up to his favorite spot in the Labs, the clock tower. He found himself at peace up there a lot. He also enjoyed the beautiful view. He siged and watched the moon as his mind drifted and he was soon asleep again.

~The girl on the wall always waited for me

and she was always smiling

The teenage death boys

The teenage death girls

and everyone was dancing

nothing could touch us then

no one could change us then

and everyone was dancing

nothing could hurt us then

no one could see us then

and e veryone was dancing

everyone was dancing...~

He awoke with a start as the bells went off to signify breakfest. He ran back downstairs and grabbed some food to take back to his room. He found Zelda walking towards the breakfast room and he let her know the food was all gone. "Darn... I was really hungry this morning too..." Zelda said as she looked down at the ground. "Here." Link said, handing her the food he had taken for himself. "You can have mine." He said with a smile. She smiled back at him and walked with him back to his room where she left him with a big hug. Link smiled and waved as he walked into his room.
