Epilogue: The Cycle of History
A bright blue Lexus convertible drove up and parked in front of Hyrule Senior High. One of its occupants, a tall, slender, golden-haired girl got out. She was unlike the majority of sixteen-year old juniors at this school. She was shy and quiet, with her head in books the majority of her time. She lived with a mom and dad in a two-story house in the quiet neighborhood known as Hyrule Market Town. Of course, it wasn't a market or a town, but it was part of the country of Hyrule. Now a democracy, it still got its roots from the legendary kingdom of Hyrule, which had quite a history.
The second occupant of the convertible was in fact the owner. Unlike her best friend, this girl was much more outgoing and daring. She was just as tall and slender, with raven-black hair. Her family was split, however. Her mom lived with her along with a perky, annoying brat of a stepsister. Her father had left for parts unknown. Regardless, the second girl was still a happy-go-lucky teenager in Hyrule.
"Happy Birthday, Rosemarie!" a couple of girls called to the raven-haired girl. She smiled back.
"Thanks Saria, Malon! See you in first!" Rosemarie stood up on her seat. Sitting on the back, she swung her legs over the door instead of bothering to open it. Once outside, she reached back in to grab her purse and schoolbag. The golden-haired girl simply chuckled lightly.
"There's a reason the door is there," she said.
"Oh don't worry, Zelda. It's much more fun to swing over and jump. It looks much more... stylish."
"Watch out, we all know you're a klutz." Rosemarie playfully shoved her friend.
"Oh shut up!" Zelda shook her head and slipped her arms into the straps in her backpack. It was light pink, just like her mock-turtleneck tee. To match that, she was wearing a knee length red skirt. White sandals adorned her feet. Rosemarie slung her own black mesh backpack over her right shoulder. She was into style and looking up-to-date. She had on dark jeans, with a belt of metal chains encircling her slim waist a few times over. To go with that, she had on a bright blue tank top with a silver netting sweater. Black boots completed her outfit.
"Let's hurry!" The two girls skipped to the building. A half hour still remained before school officially started again. This was the time the students all hung around the pond in the center of the area, the school surrounding it. It was a time for laughter, music, and talking... oh, and a chance for Rosemarie to finish her homework.
"You left math?" Zelda asked incredulously as Rosemarie situated herself on the concrete bench nearest to the pond. Rosemarie nodded with a foolish smile as she hurried for paper and pencil, taking out her math textbook at the same time.
"There was a party at Mido's!" Rosemarie complained. "Half the Juniors were there! I couldn't miss it!" Zelda shook her head.
"Rose, those parties are dangerous! What if someone fools you into taking illegal drugs! Or some guy decides to... not respect your space..." Rosemarie laughed.
"Oh come on Zel... parties weren't thrown for everyone to stay at home. You take way too much time to read and study. Chill out once in a while." Zelda gave her friend a scowl.
"A millennium will pass before I decide to go within a foot of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, heroin, or any other drug..."
"Zel... Yo necesito completar mi tarea!"
"Oh! Fine, finish your homework..." Rosemarie sighed and quickly began to scribble down answers to her homework. Zelda took out a book from her backpack and began reading.
After fifteen minutes, Rosemarie slumped over her homework. "Too hard," she moaned. Zelda shook her head.
"You are in Pre-Calculus because...?"
"Give it a rest! Help me! This problem says..." Zelda was just about to point out the answer when a black limousine pulled up in front of the school. Zelda narrowed her eyes at the new car.
"Rose, would you look at that?" Rosemarie looked up. She squinted at the limo's license plate number. With a squeal, she stood up, clutching her homework to her chest.
"It's... the president's car!"
"What?" Zelda cried.
"See... the license plate says 'Ocarina'. Remember, the president said on TV that his son had made him put that?" The President of Hyrule was Link. He was a descendant, supposedly, of the famous Hero of Time. His son was named Link as well, and he was the one boy every single teenage girl wanted to marry.
No one really cared for fame; that was not their reason to marry him. The real reason was his looks, mainly, and personality. Link could have beaten every boy ten times over in a hotness contest, even Marth of the nearby country of Emblem. Plus, he was the nicest kid anyone could come across. Ask all the old grandmas in the country, who all so desired to pinch his cheek and tell him what a sweet little boy he was. Little was not exactly the word to describe him. Link was a little below six feet tall, with a strongly built body. He was not little in age either... being seventeen and all.
Now, as the limo pulled closer to the school, the back window of the limo pulled down. Who better to stick his face out the window than Link Jr. himself?
"Oh...my...GOSH!!" Before Rosemarie could move, twenty other girls surrounded the limo. Link waved to them all as he got out. Rosemarie hurriedly joined the increasing crowd. Zelda sighed and muttered something about "flirts". Still, she eventually took her place next to Rosemarie, calmly smoothing her skirt.
"Hello," Link greeted. "So, how's school?" The girls immediately started responding without regard to the others who were also talking. Link pretended to understand, even though he only caught a few words, like "well" or "okay".
"It's fine..." Rosemarie said in a very depressed tone. Since she was the only one not acting like the whole world was listening to her, Link could actually understand.
"Only fine?" he asked. The others stopped speaking and looked around to see whom he was responding to. "I'm talking to you...um... the one behind... yeah, you." Rosemarie pointed to herself with her eyebrows raised.
"M-m-me? Oh...uh...oh...yeah, yeah. Only...only fine." Rosemarie bit her tongue and hoped he didn't hear her stutter.
"Why?" Rosemarie's short relief quickly ended. However much she would really like to strike a conversation with him... he was so hot it was hard to string two words together.
"Oh...well...the...you...I...um... it's..." Rosemarie couldn't form words.
"She's just unhappy her parents won't let her do AIM during school days," Zelda said smoothly. Rosemarie envied her calm composure.
"Oh... I see. That's just like me. Sometimes I hate my mom..."
"Me too!" said a few other girls.
"I see... but there are special days. Like, I normally would be allowed to do it on my birthday week..."
"Today's Rosemarie's birthday," a girl randomly chimed in, pointing to Rosemarie. / Just when I think the spotlight's gone it comes back.../
"Oh!" Link smiled. "Well... happy birthday!" Rosemarie blushed real, REAL red.
"Oh... uh..." / What was that word...? The one you use when someone tells you something you like... the word to thank them... oh, right! / "Thanks!" Link nodded his head slightly.
"Well, it looks like your teachers are getting mad at the fact that I'm stalling you... so, bye!" The girls moaned. Link shrugged. "I'll come back later, but you guys have to get to class." With a few shoulder slumps and groans, most of the girls trudged back to get their backpacks. Rosemarie waved and tried to leave, but Link caught her hand. Rosemarie froze.
"Hey. Okay, I want to give you something. Promise not to laugh?" Rosemarie nodded, not even daring to turn around and look at his face. Zelda had already left. It was just the two of them in the space, even though a few people were around the pond, trying not to notice Link or else they would be attracted to go back.
"Okay... I want to give you my AIM screen name. Promise you won't give it to anyone else? I don't want a million people IM-ing me."
"Uh... yeah... uh... why... me?"
"You're interesting." Rosemarie was glad Link couldn't see her face. She was blushing crazy. "Okay, well, my sister made it up one Halloween when I was wearing this red tunic thing. It's IAmHotInMyRedTunic." Rosemarie sniggered, trying to suppress her laughter. "I know, I know... it's weird. What's yours?"
"Uh..." Rosemarie gulped. Hers was ILoveLinkCauseHeIsFrigginHot. She couldn't give that to him!! "It's...um...it's...um...um...I forgot! It's funny cause no one really talks to me besides Zelda... and so I don't talk much.........Hehehehe." Link shrugged.
"The only one you talk to is... Zelda?"
"Yeah... she's the golden haired girl that was next to me... the one in the skirt?"
"Oh yeah. Well, you have to go!"
"Right! Catch you later!" Rosemarie was relieved when he finally let go of her hand. The good feeling vanished when she looked at her watch. Five minutes to class! Rosemarie scampered to her stuff.
She managed to get to class with one second before the bell, sitting in her seat. Math was first. Her teacher, Miss Strumpet, was pretty, young, but proper. She came into class quickly with her noisy high heels, glasses on her sharp nose.
"Good morning class," she said in her droning voice. "First off, we'll check our homework-," A thump of textbooks stopped her. Rosemarie had dropped them. In her hand, she held the homework she had barely started.
/Oh...no.../
............
It was time for lunch. Zelda took her lunch bag and waited near the side of the pond she usually waited near. Rosemarie wouldn't arrive today; she had a lunch detention for some odd reason that was apparently too embarrassing to shout out in the middle of the hallway. Zelda mused it was probably because she didn't finish her homework. She couldn't be sure.
"Are you Zelda?" Zelda whirled around and Link ducked to escape her flying hair.
"Oh Holy Farore! Sorry!"
"That's okay. Are you Zelda? Rosemarie's friend?"
"Yes." Zelda smiled. She was lucky she didn't stutter or trip or anything when she talked to a really handsome, cute guy.
"Listen... I gave Rosemarie my little AIM screen name thing, but she said she forgot hers since she doesn't talk to many people. Can you give it to me?"
"She doesn't talk to many people? Is she going insane? She has twenty plus people on her buddy list. But anyway, of course I'll give it to you! It's ILove... um, actually, it might be a bit personal..."
"I don't know her to know what she loves, or who."
"You'll know this one."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will. It's really obviously. Who does every single girl in Hyrule like?"
"The single luckiest guy in the world."
"You."
"Oh... man, I guessed wrong, cause I am not lucky."
"Yes you are! You're the president's son! You get to live in the Mansion, go everywhere in limos, and everyone knows you."
"Yeah, well... so that's her screen name..."
"Sort of. It's ILoveLinkCauseHeIsFrigginHot." Link chuckled.
"You do?"
"Yeah... NO! I mean, yes I think you're a cool guy and all and you are hot but... you know... that's her screen name." Zelda was stumbling a bit as she got to the end of the sentence. Luckily, Rosemarie wasn't in her shoes.
"Well, thanks. I have to go."
"Um, bye Link."
.........
The weekend came faster than Rosemarie could expect. Luckily, her mom didn't kill her for the lunch detention. Rosemarie was lucky. Her mom had been divorced a few years ago and ever since then, she was never in a calm mood except in the evenings.
After saying a quick good-bye to Zelda, Rosemarie hopped on the bus that took her home. As soon as she arrived at her house, she hastily dropped her bag on the couch and slid into her computer chair. As usual, she went into her AIM account first. Then, she went to do other small chores before officially settling down into the computer.
When she came back an hour later, none of her friends were on. Rosemarie sighed. It took longer on Fridays. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. She quickly added "IAmHotInMyRedTunic" to her Buddy List. Her heart flew up to her throat when she realized he was on. /Should I IM him? No, not with this screen name./ Rosemarie remembered she had to take a shower. Turning the speakers on full blast so she could hear the bell of an IM box, she left for the bathroom.
.........
Link logged unto his AIM account and added Rosemarie to his buddy list. Sure enough, she was there. He ruminated over whether he should IM her or not. Finally, after flipping a coin, he decided to IM Rosemarie.
.........
Rosemarie grimaced as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had tied a towel around her wet hair, but still stray strands hung around everywhere. Water was dripping down her shoulders uncomfortably. Sighing, she finished toweling herself off and wrapped the towel around herself. She left the bathroom to get her clothes just as a loud bell rang from her computer, nearly making her trip. Someone had IM- ed her. She looked at the name and nearly screamed.
/How did he get my screen name?/ She was stuck now, she had to talk...Sitting down as carefully as she could in her fingertip-length towel, she started typing.
IAmHotInMyRedTunic: Hey Rose, are you there?

That Monday, Rosemarie returned to school with a heavy feeling. She hated it when the weekend was over. Plus, her birthday was over too. She was taking many honors classes and her weekday workload was always pushing her button.
However, today she was mad. Zelda hadn't been on AIM or available by phone all weekend. Rosemarie desperately needed to talk to her about Link and the conversation. Luckily today, Rosemarie spotted her not far from the edge of the pond.
"ZEL!" Rosemarie called, hurrying down the grassy hill. She was wearing three-inch spike heels and they were not helping her. With a backpack in one arm and the math textbook in the other, she carefully made her way down the precariously slanted side.
"Hey Rose," Zelda greeted with a nervous smile. "Okay, before you rant on about your screen name and why I gave it to Link... he asked for it and I couldn't say no!"
"Oh, I'm all right... I just want to tell you what he said..." Rosemarie positioned herself so she wouldn't fall and opened her math textbook to the page her notebook paper was in. Then, she started writing.
"I have a history exam today so I studied for that instead of doing math......anyways, so... on Friday he told me that girls..." Rosemarie trailed on and on while trying to stand and do her math homework. Zelda listened intently. However, something else caught her eye. A familiar limousine pulled up to the back of the building, a spot that was barely visible to anyone unless they were already looking at it.
"Rose...I think Link's back..." Rosemarie turned around. She gasped as she saw a tall figure get out of the car, wearing a brown trench coat and a black hat.
"He looks like a detective," Zelda remarked. Rosemarie smiled. The figure made his way down to the pond area and looked around. Finally, he started towards the two girls. When he got near them, he slightly angled his cap.
"Link?"
"Shush!" Link moved closer to them. "I'm wearing this so no one sees me..."
"Why are you here?"
"You guys are so interesting so I thought I'd make some friends that don't walk on four feet... I'm talking about my three dogs, Nayru, Din, and Farore." Both Rosemarie and Zelda giggled.
.........
A black Mercedes drove up to the school and parked. The owner of the car got out as smoothly as possible, unfolding sunglasses from his pocket and wearing them. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and matching sweat pants. His hair was slicked back with gel.
"Let's get moving," he instructed the second occupant of the vehicle. The second man looked just like the first, except darker and shorter. The first man beckoned him and they walked towards the school. The shorter man took out a baseball cap and put it on, pulling the brim over his eyes.
"Now, why are we here Master?" he asked in a raspy voice.
"Shadow, you are always confused..." the first man said in his own demented voice, his eyes scanning the perimeter. "We have been after the same thing for the past two millenniums. Can't you remember anything when you are reborn?"
"No." The first man sighed. He kept walking.
"Well, Shadow. I don't need to fill you in too much. I don't want to waste my breath cause you'll forget after this millennia. Anyway, we are after Zelda. She's the descendant of the Legendary Royal Line. She's got the essence of the Triforce within her."
"I get it, and I think some of it is coming back to me now... yeah..."
"Rosemarie stopped us the last two times, but she won't this time. This time, I, Lord Gannondorf, will not fail." Shadow followed his master as they ducked behind the main building. They looked out into the pond area and found Rosemarie, Zelda, and Link.
"We're back!"
.........
The presence of those two men did not go unnoticed. Rosemarie got an uncanny feeling. She looked around nervously.
"Is something wrong?" Zelda asked. Rosemarie narrowed her eyes. She was sure she saw someone behind that building in front of her.
"Who's that?" she cried, pointing at them. Link whirled around to see. Unfortunately, his coat whipped out and Rosemarie lost her balance. Being the klutz – and her heels – made her topple down the side of the hill. In the process, Link grabbed her arm. The two of them splashed into the pond. Zelda cringed. This was not good.
.........
Rosemarie had to run. She managed to slide into her first period seat just as the bell rang. Her clothes were soaked through, however hard the three of them had tried to dry it.
"Oh well," Rosemarie sighed. She took out her textbooks.
"Hello, class," Miss Strumpet said as she strolled in. "Take out your homework-,"
"NO!" A shout and a thud of books stopped her in mid sentence. Rosemarie took out her soggy homework that was half done. "Not again..."
..........................................................
THE END!! I can't believe this is done! It has taken so long! Thank you to all my reviewers once again for making this possible! You guys can probably see where this story is going. Now, before I go, I just want to say one more thing. After my vacation, I am going to start another Zelda story. It'll be called Legend of Zelda: Jewels of Harmony. It's an action packed romance between Zelda and Link, plus my own character. (My own character is not included in any romance). It does start out as a Malink, but will not end that way. Please look out for it. It should come out August 1st. Thanks, and review!
Epilogue: The Cycle of History
A bright blue Lexus convertible drove up and parked in front of Hyrule Senior High. One of its occupants, a tall, slender, golden-haired girl got out. She was unlike the majority of sixteen-year old juniors at this school. She was shy and quiet, with her head in books the majority of her time. She lived with a mom and dad in a two-story house in the quiet neighborhood known as Hyrule Market Town. Of course, it wasn't a market or a town, but it was part of the country of Hyrule.

This was the time the students all hung around the pond in the center of the area, the school surrounding it. It was a time for laughter, music, and talking... oh, and a chance for Rosemarie to finish her homework.
"You left math?" Zelda asked incredulously as Rosemarie situated herself on the concrete bench nearest to the pond. Rosemarie nodded with a foolish smile as she hurried for paper and pencil, taking out her math textbook at the same time.
"There was a party at Mido's!" Rosemarie complained. "Half the Juniors were there! I couldn't miss it!" Zelda shook her head.
"Rose, those parties are dangerous! What if someone fools you into taking illegal drugs! Or some guy decides to... not respect your space..." Rosemarie laughed.
"Oh come on Zel... parties weren't thrown for everyone to stay at home. You take way too much time to read and study. Chill out once in a while." Zelda gave her friend a scowl.
"A millennium will pass before I decide to go within a foot of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, heroin, or any other drug..."
"Zel... Yo necesito completar mi tarea!"
"Oh! Fine, finish your homework..." Rosemarie sighed and quickly began to scribble down answers to her homework. Zelda took out a book from her backpack and began reading.
After fifteen minutes, Rosemarie slumped over her homework. "Too hard," she moaned. Zelda shook her head.
"You are in Pre-Calculus because...?"
"Give it a rest! Help me! This problem says..." Zelda was just about to point out the answer when a black limousine pulled up in front of the school. Zelda narrowed her eyes at the new car.
"Rose, would you look at that?" Rosemarie looked up. She squinted at the limo's license plate number. With a squeal, she stood up, clutching her homework to her chest.
"It's... the president's car!"
"What?" Zelda cried.
"See... the license plate says 'Ocarina'. Remember, the president said on TV that his son had made him put that?" The President of Hyrule was Link. He was a descendant, supposedly, of the famous Hero of Time. His son was named Link as well, and he was the one boy every single teenage girl wanted to marry.
No one really cared for fame; that was not their reason to marry him. The real reason was his looks, mainly, and personality. Link could have beaten every boy ten times over in a hotness contest, even Marth of the nearby country of Emblem. Plus, he was the nicest kid anyone could come across. Ask all the old grandmas in the country, who all so desired to pinch his cheek and tell him what a sweet little boy he was. Little was not exactly the word to describe him. Link was a little below six feet tall, with a strongly built body. He was not little in age either... being seventeen and all.
Now, as the limo pulled closer to the school, the back window of the limo pulled down. Who better to stick his face out the window than Link Jr. himself?
"Oh...my...GOSH!!" Before Rosemarie could move, twenty other girls surrounded the limo. Link waved to them all as he got out. Rosemarie hurriedly joined the increasing crowd. Zelda sighed and muttered something about "flirts". Still, she eventually took her place next to Rosemarie, calmly smoothing her skirt.
"Hello," Link greeted. "So, how's school?" The girls immediately started responding without regard to the others who were also talking. Link pretended to understand, even though he only caught a few words, like "well" or "okay".
"It's fine..." Rosemarie said in a very depressed tone. Since she was the only one not acting like the whole world was listening to her, Link could actually understand.
"Only fine?" he asked. The others stopped speaking and looked around to see whom he was responding to. "I'm talking to you...um... the one behind... yeah, you." Rosemarie pointed to herself with her eyebrows raised.
"M-m-me? Oh...uh...oh...yeah, yeah. Only...only fine." Rosemarie bit her tongue and hoped he didn't hear her stutter.
"Why?" Rosemarie's short relief quickly ended. However much she would really like to strike a conversation with him... he was so hot it was hard to string two words together.
"Oh...well...the...you...I...um... it's..." Rosemarie couldn't form words.
"She's just unhappy her parents won't let her do AIM during school days," Zelda said smoothly. Rosemarie envied her calm composure.
"Oh... I see. That's just like me. Sometimes I hate my mom..."
"Me too!" said a few other girls.
"I see... but there are special days. Like, I normally would be allowed to do it on my birthday week..."
"Today's Rosemarie's birthday," a girl randomly chimed in, pointing to Rosemarie. / Just when I think the spotlight's gone it comes back.../
"Oh!" Link smiled. "Well... happy birthday!" Rosemarie blushed real, REAL red.
"Oh... uh..." / What was that word...? The one you use when someone tells you something you like... the word to thank them... oh, right! / "Thanks!" Link nodded his head slightly.
"Well, it looks like your teachers are getting mad at the fact that I'm stalling you... so, bye!" The girls moaned. Link shrugged. "I'll come back later, but you guys have to get to class." With a few shoulder slumps and groans, most of the girls trudged back to get their backpacks. Rosemarie waved and tried to leave, but Link caught her hand. Rosemarie froze.
"Hey. Okay, I want to give you something. Promise not to laugh?" Rosemarie nodded, not even daring to turn around and look at his face. Zelda had already left. It was just the two of them in the space, even though a few people were around the pond, trying not to notice Link or else they would be attracted to go back.
"Okay... I want to give you my AIM screen name. Promise you won't give it to anyone else? I don't want a million people IM-ing me."
"Uh... yeah... uh... why... me?"
"You're interesting." Rosemarie was glad Link couldn't see her face. She was blushing crazy. "Okay, well, my sister made it up one Halloween when I was wearing this red tunic thing. It's IAmHotInMyRedTunic." Rosemarie sniggered, trying to suppress her laughter. "I know, I know... it's weird. What's yours?"
"Uh..." Rosemarie gulped. Hers was ILoveLinkCauseHeIsFrigginHot. She couldn't give that to him!! "It's...um...it's...um...um...I forgot! It's funny cause no one really talks to me besides Zelda... and so I don't talk much.........Hehehehe." Link shrugged.
"The only one you talk to is... Zelda?"
"Yeah... she's the golden haired girl that was next to me... the one in the skirt?"
"Oh yeah. Well, you have to go!"
"Right! Catch you later!" Rosemarie was relieved when he finally let go of her hand. The good feeling vanished when she looked at her watch. Five minutes to class! Rosemarie scampered to her stuff.
She managed to get to class with one second before the bell, sitting in her seat. Math was first. Her teacher, Miss Strumpet, was pretty, young, but proper. She came into class quickly with her noisy high heels, glasses on her sharp nose.
"Good morning class," she said in her droning voice. "First off, we'll check our homework-," A thump of textbooks stopped her. Rosemarie had dropped them. In her hand, she held the homework she had barely started.
/Oh...no.../
............
It was time for lunch. Zelda took her lunch bag and waited near the side of the pond she usually waited near. Rosemarie wouldn't arrive today; she had a lunch detention for some odd reason that was apparently too embarrassing to shout out in the middle of the hallway. Zelda mused it was probably because she didn't finish her homework. She couldn't be sure.
"Are you Zelda?" Zelda whirled around and Link ducked to escape her flying hair.
"Oh Holy Farore! Sorry!"
"That's okay. Are you Zelda? Rosemarie's friend?"
"Yes." Zelda smiled. She was lucky she didn't stutter or trip or anything when she talked to a really handsome, cute guy.
"Listen... I gave Rosemarie my little AIM screen name thing, but she said she forgot hers since she doesn't talk to many people. Can you give it to me?"
"She doesn't talk to many people? Is she going insane? She has twenty plus people on her buddy list. But anyway, of course I'll give it to you! It's ILove... um, actually, it might be a bit personal..."
"I don't know her to know what she loves, or who."
"You'll know this one."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will. It's really obviously. Who does every single girl in Hyrule like?"
"The single luckiest guy in the world."
"You."
"Oh... man, I guessed wrong, cause I am not lucky."
"Yes you are! You're the president's son! You get to live in the Mansion, go everywhere in limos, and everyone knows you."
"Yeah, well... so that's her screen name..."
"Sort of. It's ILoveLinkCauseHeIsFrigginHot." Link chuckled.
"You do?"
"Yeah... NO! I mean, yes I think you're a cool guy and all and you are hot but... you know... that's her screen name." Zelda was stumbling a bit as she got to the end of the sentence. Luckily, Rosemarie wasn't in her shoes.
"Well, thanks. I have to go."
"Um, bye Link."
.........
The weekend came faster than Rosemarie could expect. Luckily, her mom didn't kill her for the lunch detention. Rosemarie was lucky. Her mom had been divorced a few years ago and ever since then, she was never in a calm mood except in the evenings.
After saying a quick good-bye to Zelda, Rosemarie hopped on the bus that took her home. As soon as she arrived at her house, she hastily dropped her bag on the couch and slid into her computer chair. As usual, she went into her AIM account first. Then, she went to do other small chores before officially settling down into the computer.
When she came back an hour later, none of her friends were on. Rosemarie sighed. It took longer on Fridays. Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. She quickly added "IAmHotInMyRedTunic" to her Buddy List. Her heart flew up to her throat when she realized he was on. /Should I IM him? No, not with this screen name./ Rosemarie remembered she had to take a shower. Turning the speakers on full blast so she could hear the bell of an IM box, she left for the bathroom.
.........
Link logged unto his AIM account and added Rosemarie to his buddy list. Sure enough, she was there. He ruminated over whether he should IM her or not. Finally, after flipping a coin, he decided to IM Rosemarie.
.........
Rosemarie grimaced as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She had tied a towel around her wet hair, but still stray strands hung around everywhere. Water was dripping down her shoulders uncomfortably. Sighing, she finished toweling herself off and wrapped the towel around herself. She left the bathroom to get her clothes just as a loud bell rang from her computer, nearly making her trip. Someone had IM- ed her. She looked at the name and nearly screamed.
/How did he get my screen name?/ She was stuck now, she had to talk...Sitting down as carefully as she could in her fingertip-length towel, she started typing.
IAmHotInMyRedTunic: Hey Rose, are you there?

That Monday, Rosemarie returned to school with a heavy feeling. She hated it when the weekend was over. Plus, her birthday was over too. She was taking many honors classes and her weekday workload was always pushing her button.
However, today she was mad. Zelda hadn't been on AIM or available by phone all weekend. Rosemarie desperately needed to talk to her about Link and the conversation. Luckily today, Rosemarie spotted her not far from the edge of the pond.
"ZEL!" Rosemarie called, hurrying down the grassy hill. She was wearing three-inch spike heels and they were not helping her. With a backpack in one arm and the math textbook in the other, she carefully made her way down the precariously slanted side.
"Hey Rose," Zelda greeted with a nervous smile. "Okay, before you rant on about your screen name and why I gave it to Link... he asked for it and I couldn't say no!"
"Oh, I'm all right... I just want to tell you what he said..." Rosemarie positioned herself so she wouldn't fall and opened her math textbook to the page her notebook paper was in. Then, she started writing.
"I have a history exam today so I studied for that instead of doing math......anyways, so... on Friday he told me that girls..." Rosemarie trailed on and on while trying to stand and do her math homework. Zelda listened intently. However, something else caught her eye. A familiar limousine pulled up to the back of the building, a spot that was barely visible to anyone unless they were already looking at it.
"Rose...I think Link's back..." Rosemarie turned around. She gasped as she saw a tall figure get out of the car, wearing a brown trench coat and a black hat.
"He looks like a detective," Zelda remarked. Rosemarie smiled. The figure made his way down to the pond area and looked around. Finally, he started towards the two girls. When he got near them, he slightly angled his cap.
"Link?"
"Shush!" Link moved closer to them. "I'm wearing this so no one sees me..."
"Why are you here?"
"You guys are so interesting so I thought I'd make some friends that don't walk on four feet... I'm talking about my three dogs, Nayru, Din, and Farore." Both Rosemarie and Zelda giggled.
.........
A black Mercedes drove up to the school and parked. The owner of the car got out as smoothly as possible, unfolding sunglasses from his pocket and wearing them. He was wearing a black muscle shirt and matching sweat pants. His hair was slicked back with gel.
"Let's get moving," he instructed the second occupant of the vehicle. The second man looked just like the first, except darker and shorter. The first man beckoned him and they walked towards the school. The shorter man took out a baseball cap and put it on, pulling the brim over his eyes.
"Now, why are we here Master?" he asked in a raspy voice.
"Shadow, you are always confused..." the first man said in his own demented voice, his eyes scanning the perimeter. "We have been after the same thing for the past two millenniums. Can't you remember anything when you are reborn?"
"No." The first man sighed. He kept walking.
"Well, Shadow. I don't need to fill you in too much. I don't want to waste my breath cause you'll forget after this millennia. Anyway, we are after Zelda. She's the descendant of the Legendary Royal Line. She's got the essence of the Triforce within her."
"I get it, and I think some of it is coming back to me now... yeah..."
"Rosemarie stopped us the last two times, but she won't this time. This time, I, Lord Gannondorf, will not fail." Shadow followed his master as they ducked behind the main building. They looked out into the pond area and found Rosemarie, Zelda, and Link.
"We're back!"
.........
The presence of those two men did not go unnoticed. Rosemarie got an uncanny feeling. She looked around nervously.
"Is something wrong?" Zelda asked. Rosemarie narrowed her eyes. She was sure she saw someone behind that building in front of her.
"Who's that?" she cried, pointing at them. Link whirled around to see. Unfortunately, his coat whipped out and Rosemarie lost her balance. Being the klutz – and her heels – made her topple down the side of the hill. In the process, Link grabbed her arm. The two of them splashed into the pond. Zelda cringed. This was not good.
.........
Rosemarie had to run. She managed to slide into her first period seat just as the bell rang. Her clothes were soaked through, however hard the three of them had tried to dry it.
"Oh well," Rosemarie sighed. She took out her textbooks.
"Hello, class," Miss Strumpet said as she strolled in. "Take out your homework-,"
"NO!" A shout and a thud of books stopped her in mid sentence. Rosemarie took out her soggy homework that was half done. "Not again..."
..........................................................
THE END!! I can't believe this is done! It has taken so long! Thank you to all my reviewers once again for making this possible! You guys can probably see where this story is going. Now, before I go, I just want to say one more thing. After my vacation, I am going to start another Zelda story. It'll be called Legend of Zelda: Jewels of Harmony. It's an action packed romance between Zelda and Link, plus my own character. (My own character is not included in any romance). It does start out as a Malink, but will not end that way. Please look out for it. It should come out August 1st. Thanks, and review!
