ME!?!?!?! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH*twitch* Ah, that's better. Ahem. . . Anyway,
I'm sure you were ALL expecting a sequel to "The Jealous Prince" sooner or
later. . . Okay, maybe you weren't. Bite me. (sticks her tongue out)
Anyways, here's the first chapter!! YAYNESS!!!
The Jealous Prince Returns: Chapter 1: Hylian Bliss
It was a sunny afternoon in Hyrule Field. The children played their little games while their parents watched and sat in the shade. Princess Zelda looked over at her husband, who was leaning against the tree, asleep.
Prince Link was sleeping peacefully, his long bangs hanging in front of his handsome face. Despite the fact that he was now twenty-seven years old, he looked as young as he did ten years ago. It was like he never changed over the years.
Zelda lightly shook him awake. "Link, sweetheart, wake up. You dozed off again."
Link slowly opened his eyes and looked over at Zelda. "Mmm. . . So I did. . ."
They looked at each other, silent.
". . . What, are you gonna punish me now?"
"No!" Zelda giggled, slightly elbowing him. "I'm just. . . concerned, that's all. You've been dozing off quite a lot. Are you not getting enough sleep?"
Link paused, then yawned. "Not really. . ."
"What's wrong?"
He sighed sleepily. "I dunno. . . I've got this feeling something bad's going to happen. . ."
"Really. . .?"
"I don't want it to bother you, though. . ."
Before either of them could continue, a little girl's voice called out to them.
"MOMMY! DADDY!"
They turned to the source and saw a little girl running towards them, sobbing. She wore a green sleeveless tunic, a deeper green pair of tights, and green boots. A small, simple crown with a single ruby stone surrounded her head, mostly covered by several short bangs. Her long golden braid trailed behind her as she ran towards them, tears streaming from her bright blue eyes. She flew into Link's arms, her tears soaking his tunic.
"Florence, honey, what's wrong?" Zelda asked, concerned.
"The boys over there are being mean to me! They won't let me play with them because I'm just a girl and they're playing boy games and they won't let me play!" she cried between sobs.
"Oh. . . Shh, it's okay, calm down. . ." Link whispered comfortingly, holding the girl tightly.
"They also called me names and didn't believe me when I said you were me mommy and daddy! They called me a liar!"
The two adults looked at each other. Link looked back down at Florence and smiled.
"Well, then, we'll just prove them wrong, won't we?"
The girl nodded hastily between sniffs, and the two got up off the ground.
"Coming, Zelda?" asked Link.
"No, you two go ahead."
"Aw, come on, Zel, your daughter's in distress!" He smiled while Florence looked with begging eyes.
Zelda couldn't say no even if she wanted to. She got up herself and joined her husband's side as Florence ran ahead. The group of boys quickly noticed them and stared at the two in awe.
"Whoa, guys, look who it is!"
"Wow, it's really them!"
Link raised a hand to silence them, then placed it on Florence's shoulder.
"What's going on between you and my daughter?"
The boys stalled. "Um. . . well. . ."
"From what we understand, you're not letting her play with you because of her gender. Is this true?" Zelda asked calmly and politely.
". . ."
"Just let her play with you, okay?"
The boys nodded nervously and Florence ran off with them. But Link stopped the lead boy for a second. He whispered softly to him.
"Listen to me. You see that girl over there?" He pointed at Florence. "That's my only daughter right there, and I really care about her. If you insult her or let anything happen to her. . . I can't be held responsible for what I do."
The boy slowly nodded and ran off.
"Link!" Zelda said in an irritated tone. "You don't just threaten the poor child!"
"I-I'm sorry. . ." His voice was shaky, and he looked over at Florence, a worried expression on his face. Zelda wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
"She's a big girl, Link," she said. "I think she can take care of herself."
"I-I know. . . It's just that. . . if anything would happen to her. . . I don't know what I'd do. . ." He lowered his head, then looked up at Zelda with those beautiful eyes. "You two are everything to me. . . I would hate to have anything happen to either one of you. . ."
"Oh. . ." Zelda sighed, taking her thumb and wiping a single tear of his cheek. "Please try not to worry, Link. We'll be fine. I think it's wonderful you care so much about us."
Link smiled softly at this comment, wrapping an arm around his wife's waist. They looked at Florence, who was simply enjoying herself, catching bugs with the boys. The concerned look in Link's eyes remained as he watched his little girl quietly.
(If anything would happen to her. . . I don't know what I'd do. . ."

"Link, dear, could you put Florence to bed, please?"
"Of course. Come on, Florence, time for sleep."
"Piggyback! I wanna piggyback, please?"
"Alright, hop on!"
Florence jumped on her father's back, holding onto his shoulders, while he held her legs against his sides. They rushed down the halls of the castle, little Florence giggling all the way. When they reached her bedroom, she jumped off him, removed her boots, and climbed into bed. While Link tucked her in, she spoke.
"Daddy, can you tell me a story?"
Link smiled and sat down on the bed. "Okay, what do you want to hear?"
"I want something different. I like your hero stories, but. . . Who else did you fight besides Ganondorf?"
Link paused at such a question. Was it okay to tell her about. . . him? After much thought, he sighed and began.
"Well. . . . . . There was this man. . . He's the Prince of Roslanda. . . His name is Chapland. . ."
Florence seemed intimidated by this name, and pulled the covers tighter. ". . . W-what'd he do?"
"Before you were born, when me and your mother were still engaged. . . He came to our land. . . For some reason, he didn't think we fit together. . . He thought that just because I wasn't royalty, I didn't deserve her. . ."
"S-s-so what did he do?"
"He attacked us and took us to his kingdom. . . He tried to kill me and marry her. . ."
Florence gasped. "How mean!"
"Exactly. We did get away, though. . ." He slyly smiled. "You know what? I think he was jealous of me."
"Really?"
"Yep, he was jealous because I got such a beautiful woman and he didn't."
"Oh. . . Well, maybe because he was so mean, he chased away all the girls!"
Link laughed at this comment, which was actually true. "Yes, that's quite possible." He tucked her in. "Now, it's time to sleep. Good night."
"Good night."
He kissed her goodnight and left her alone to sleep. He paused at the doorway and looked back at Florence, smiling warmly.
"Sweet sleep, Florence." He whispered and closed the door.
