Chapter 4: Party
The castle dock was crowded with people, waiting anxiously for the important cargo ship to arrive. It had been an hour since the ship was supposed to dock, and the people were beginning to wonder if something had gone wrong. The king and princess were with the crowd as well, both nervous. The king was nervous that the ship ran into trouble, and princess Zelda was worried that Link, the Hero of Time, didn't make it.
Her golden hair sparkled in the sunlight, her elven ears strained to hear the creaking of the masts on the ship, and her blue eyes, scanning the ocean for any sign of her hero. Yes, the princess was in love with Link, and for quite some time now. Ever since that green clad boy came into her life, she couldn't stop thinking about him. She was so deep in thought, it had taken a minute for her to realize the people were cheering. She looked up to see why, and started cheering herself. Link and the cargo ship had arrived.
Link was blushing in embarrassment, for though he was a hero, he never enjoyed publicity. It always made him feel high in standing. He believed he was as normal as any of the other people. But Link didn't complain, he only waved to the cheering people.
As the ship sailed into the dock, the people made way for the guards carrying the precious book, the Book of the Goddesses. It shone with glory, and everyone was quiet as the guards marched to the castle, followed by the crowd. Everyone was so occupied by the book, that they didn't notice the other sleeker ship silently sailing in.
At evening, after the book was placed in a heavily guarded tower, in the Hyrule castle the people were feasting and drinking. Everyone was happy, and there wasn't a care in the world. Link and Zelda were dancing to a waltz when the music suddenly stopped. Gasping and whispering soon replaced laughing and talking. In the front doorway, Phoenix himself and his band of pirates were standing there, glancing at the frightened people and the guards that had surrounded them.
Phoenix then whispered to his cohorts, "See gentlemen? This is what happens when you use the front door."
Link immediately walked up to the pirate captain and turned to the people. "Everyone, do not be alarmed! This is my friend Phoenix! The one who helped me defeat the monster squid."
The people were hesitant, but then one person started clapping, and then was followed my two more, until the whole room was clapping. Link smiled in relief and walked back to the dance floor. Phoenix and his friends were about to pass the guards when one guard stood in their path.
"Remove your weapons." The guard said as he gestured over to the table next to him.
Phoenix hesitated, and then still smiling, he drew his two cutlasses and dropped them on the table. Kosaru followed the captain's example and dropped his sword and dagger onto the table. One by one the pirates removed weapons, until it came to Cotan. He then started removing swords, cutlasses, daggers, a crossbow, bombs, and many other weapons from his trench coat while the guards looked on, curious and frightened at the same time.
Meanwhile, Phoenix started trying to find Link, and soon saw him, dancing with a red headed farm girl named Malon. Phoenix smiled in amusement, for Link seemed to be poor at dancing, and kept constantly yet accidentally stepping on the poor girl's toes.
He then felt a tap on his shoulder and turned to see the princess herself standing in front of him. "May I have this dance?" asked Zelda.
Phoenix gave a small nod, and lead Zelda to the dance floor. The music started, and Phoenix remembered it immediately as the traditional Hyrule waltz. As the pirate and princess slowly moved across the dance floor, Phoenix saw Link giving a jealous glare at the pirate, for Phoenix was dancing as if it were natural, and not once was he making a mistake.
Zelda leaned in close to the pirate and whispered, "You dance well for a pirate."
Phoenix replied, "I have taken some lessons, mostly because I needed to be undercover sometimes to grab the treasure."
Zelda gave a little giggle, and then glanced at Link, who was starting to make his way over to the dancing couple, intent on cutting in.
Phoenix immediately broke away from Zelda and told Link, "Go ahead and dance with her. It was getting boring anyway."
Link was surprised that the pirate was so willing to let Link dance with Zelda, but just nodded and turned to the princess.
Phoenix looked on as the two danced, surprised that this time Link wasn't making any mistakes. He saw Link and Zelda looking into each other's eyes, filled with longing and desire. Phoenix realized Link wasn't making any mistakes because he didn't want to disappoint Zelda.
"Those two are in love." The pirate whispered to himself.
Phoenix felt a small tinge of jealousy, for the pirate had never even thought about loving a woman. And he did seem to like Zelda's gold hair, those blue eyes, and those red lips.
Phoenix mentally slapped himself. How could a princess love a pirate? It wasn't possible.
"Besides," the pirate whispered, "my love is for treasure isn't it?"
He then remembered his mission, to steal the book. But he hesitated; he didn't want to disappoint Zelda and Link. He sighed to himself and turned away from the dance floor.
Meanwhile, at the buffet table the pirates were eating everything in sight, much to the displeasure of the other guests. Meats, fruits, vegetables, and bread were crammed into the pirate's mouths, for on the ship, all they had to eat were pickles and eggs.
Kosaru then saw Phoenix approaching and whispered, "There are only two guards at the entrance of the tower, and not many more at the top. We can easily take them all."
But Phoenix just shook his head and said, "No, we're leaving. We will not steal the book."
The pirates looked up at their captain like he was crazy. It was so easy, why stop here? But when Phoenix just walked past, they decided he had his reasons, and started following him.
At the table, Cotan had just pulled out his last weapon and breathed a sigh of relief when Phoenix walked by and said, "We're leaving Cotan."
Cotan was confused, "But you, but I, I just finished! Why do we have to leave now?"
Phoenix didn't give an answer, only picked up his weapons and walked out. The rest of the crew followed his example, and with a groan of confusion, Cotan lugged all of his weapons out the door.
Ganondorf was perched on the mast of a cargo ship, watching with displeasure as the pirates and Phoenix left for their ship.
"So, your nerve failed you captain?" Ganondorf growled out. "No matter. I have other ways of getting that book."
The evil Gerudo's hands started to glow with dark magic, and an evil smile was on Ganondorf's face.
Me: OOH! Cliffhanger!
Phoenix: Oh, and by the way people, the only romance will be between Link and Zelda.
Me: Just wanted to clear up some would-be-questions about that. Anyway...
Both: PLEASE OH PLEASE REVIEW!
Me: See the little blue button at the bottom? Click that please!
Phoenix: {Laughing his ass off} HAHA! YOU SUCK!
