BTW, I'm taking a certain side in the debate about Hylians only being the nobles. I don't mind people thinking this, but I'm pretending that this is the name of all the people of Hyrule. It makes sense to me. Of course, there are sub divisions of Hylians, such as Kokari. It's like people in, let's say Florida, are called Americans, but also Floridians. Or Californians. Or Georgians... wait... no... that's not it... or whatever people in Georgia are called! Anyway, ya. I hope you get my point.

I've decided to keep it a Zelda POV story, only the time is different. Instead of age 19 Zelda's memory, it'll be from her POV at the time right after she falls asleep after Link knocked her off Snowflame.

CAUTION:

Intense teen moment. Very dangerous. Take other route available.

Too late. You just drove past the sign. Come this way anyway. Just hope you survive the wrath of an extremely angry teen.

(Ok, it's not really that bad.)

Ch.2

I couldn't remember having a dream when I woke up that morning. Keeping my eyes closed and groaning as the sun shone through my eyelids, I attempted to sit up. I winced as my arm hit the nightstand next to my bad; it seemed I'd gotten a bruise from when Link knocked me off my stallion.

Then, the memory of last night hit me. It looked so awkward now, trying to picture it in my mind. It had seemed natural and acceptable while it was going on, but thinking about it sent shivers up my spine. That was a thing couples would do, spin off their horses and roll with each other. Not a thing best friends do. We were best friends. Not a couple.

However, there were plenty of people willing to prove that wrong. Like the local newspaper, the Hylian Highlights.

ZELDA!

My dad was yelling downstairs. I was in trouble again.

I yelled down that I was coming. Great... I was in for it now... what had I done wrong this time?

I walked downstairs, and was surprised to find today's issue of the Hylian Highlights rolled up in my father's hand. He was seething.

He thrust the paper at me, and told me to read page three. I was nervous, but did as I was told.

In it was an article about Link and me. They'd found out about the little horse incident.

They were saying that Link and I had a 'secret love life', and that they were surprised we risked being so 'intimate' while on the grounds of the castle instead of running away together.

I winced as I read it, and looked up at my dad, ready for another lecture on princes and the marriage of noblemen.

I was a taken aback when I heard what he said.

Zelda, is this true? He whispered, a dangerous anger flashing through his eyes.

Surprised, I told him No, it's not.

He gave me a glare that suggested he didn't believe me. They've been telling stories like this one for a long time, daughter. He told me.

I looked him in the eyes. I told him I knew that.

He asked me, again, if it was true.

I took a breath, and said it wasn't.

The next thing he said tore my heart in half.

He told me he didn't want me to see Link.

Why? I shouted at him. He didn't do anything!

He told me, calmly, that we couldn't be seen together if this is what it made things seem like. Even if it isn't true, he said, it has to stop.

No! I screamed. I can't just leave him like that!

He told me I had to. For my country. He did that every time he was serious and wouldn't be moved.

I screamed that maybe I didn't care what happened to my country. This was a big mistake.

He gave me 'the look'. And believe me. You do not want to see the look.

Go to your room. He told me. It seemed he was trying his best to hold back his anger. However, being the careless teen I was, I didn't listen.

I asked him what if I didn't want to?

Definitely not a smart move. But, I was angry.

He informed me that I would go to my room.

I told him I wouldn't.

He got angry. Really angry. I think he could've breathed fire if he felt like it. He shouted that I would go to my room, whether I liked it or not.

I decided then to use my head. I mean, my father never yelled. He was a king. He was the best in Hyrule at keeping his temper in check. I'm leaving, I told him. I guess he assumed to my room when I headed towards the stairs, because he didn't follow.

Once near my room, a maid walked up. She told me my father's orders were to stay in my room until I choose where my priorities lied. I wouldn't get dinner until I did either. It was very easy to do.

I thanked her, and she left. However, I still didn't go to my room. I went into the bathroom.

After locking the door, I looked through the drawers. I could lower myself down on toilet paper, but that would be stupid. Let's see... the toilet paper would break after one millimeter. I was up in a tower.

So, I looked around. Towels were about all I had.

I was starting to wonder if I really should go back to my room. But, then I'd miss dinner, breakfast, and all other meals for the rest of my life if my father's punishment didn't let up. I could always pretend that I sorted it out, but then I couldn't see Link. The guards would ruin all secret meetings.

So, if I ever wanted to see my only friend again, I'd have to do something. So, I picked up the towels. They made a rope that was nowhere near long enough. Of course. I don't see why I even tried.

I wondered what would happen if I tried jumping. After all, my 'disguise' was Sheik. And Sheik did those types of things. However, was it ever exactly this high? And since Link had turned time back to normal, I didn't exactly have all the practice I had in my alternate teenage years. Well... it was worth a try, right? And if I died, they couldn't say I didn't try, or that I betrayed my only friend.

I dug into my pocket, and sighed as I found a deku nut. I threw it against the ground, and, just as Impa taught me, transformed into my other form, Sheik.

Since none of the other castle members, including my dad, knew of this ability, I knew I was safe like this.

So, I climbed onto the window ledge, and took a deep breath. Before I knew it, I was falling to the ground.

Zelda got herself into a lot of trouble this time! Anyway, as I said before... PLEASE REVIEW!!! I only have two reviewers! (Which, I might add are wonderful. I write better when I know someone's reading it.) Anyway, I'll make you all muffins!
