Disclaimer: I don't own.........Super Smash Brothers. Wait! That's not what it
was! It was.........Kenshin! No, Inuyasha? Final Fantasy? Zelda.........that rings a
bell. No, it couldn't be it. Oh well, stop wasting your time and mine and
let's skip down to the next paragraph.
Chapter 9: Reasons.........
Zelda didn't stop until she reached the clump of trees near the entrance to Hyrule Market Town. Rosemarie was waiting there, arms crossed and leaning against the tree.
"You're evil!" Zelda muttered playfully as she pushed Rosemarie. Rosemarie giggled.
"So, how did it go?" she asked rather slyly, as if implying something. Which she was...
"It was the first time, or one of the very few times, that I have been so nervous. And after.........he kissed my cheek, I just couldn't face him for some reason. My knees wanted to buckle and so I ran. What's so funny?"
"Nothing!" Rosemarie chuckled. "You ran away? He must be so sad!"
"Yeah, right. He likes you a whole lot better!" The words tumbled out of Zelda's mouth. Rosemarie's jaw dropped.
"Did he say that!!!???"
"No, but I'm guessing."
"Oh.........but I bet he likes you too! He probably likes you more than me."
"Why?"
"You are so calm and relaxed. A good princess or queen would know how to be polite, courteous and keep her cool."
"Yeah, Rose, but I was such a nervous wreck today. My strength comes from my company. I don't do anything alone."
"Yeah, but that is way better than a klutz!"
"I might have to agree with you on that one!"
.........
Link stared after Zelda as she ran away. For a second, he was wondering if he scared her off.........maybe he offended her!!
/Don't be a fool! She's just a bit shy, nervous, and whatever./ Link sighed and followed Zelda, trying to keep a few paces behind her. He was faster and had to do a major slow down. Finally, he came to a grove of trees. He saw Rosemarie standing there, her cascade of black hair floating around her. Wasn't she supposed to go home early? He snuck up behind the trees and listened.
Parts of it he couldn't make out, but the girls were clearly arguing on which he liked better. How amusing! Zelda was obviously thinking that she was too "Rosemarie nervousish!" for him to like her. Rosemarie stated that Zelda was calm whilst she was a klutz. Zelda agreed.
/This is quite amusing. This reminds me of the time I followed them into the Back Alley/
.........
Zelda sighed. "I wish he did like me."
"I know," Rosemarie said. "It would be so cool to live in a castle and live like a queen. I would be friends with all my servants and make it seem like one big family."
"Royalty? Is that all you care about?"
"No. He's mighty cute too. That alone is enough."
"I love him for his personality. Of course he is VERY cute!"
"And hot!"
"And handsome! But, he is also very friendly and understanding. He makes it seem like you were friends with him from the beginning of time. That's what I like best."
"Don't you care about the royalty? The fame? The pleasures to do whatever you want?"
"You are so naïve. The world is more about titles and fame. I think insides count."
"So do I! I like him cause of his personality too. It's just.........he's also and prince – a good looking one besides – and that just entices me." Zelda sighed. Rosemarie often judged a book by a cover. Literally too. Just because she liked the color red and tigers, she once borrowed a book from the library. It turned out to be a gruesome, horror story. She never did that again.
"Well, I have to go home," Zelda said. They whispered good-byes and she headed off. Rosemarie stayed behind, fingering a strand of her hair.
/I wish, he did like me better. I don't know what I'd do if he liked Zelda. I mean, if he liked some other girl I had no idea who, I wouldn't mind as much. But, Zelda is and always will be my best friend. I couldn't bear for us to have a difference./
.........
Zelda stopped right before she reached her house. She put a hand to her heart.
/Why does that feeling grow stronger? Dread, guilt, and the somehow distant feeling that Link likes me. But it's hopeless.........Rosemarie's prettier and more talented than I am. I don't stand a chance./
.........
Link leaned against the back of the tree. He smiled. He knew he shouldn't have spied on their conversation. It was kind of personal but he couldn't help it. But now, after all that deciding, he finally knew whom he liked. Now, he had to figure out how to tell her.........without hurting the other's feelings.
