Disclaimer: If I owned Zelda, you think I'd be writing this?

Genre: Romance/Drama/Humor

Rating: PG-13

Note: Well, after positive reinforcement and a few favorites, here's my second Zelda fic. Hope you like it. (And just to tell you all, this one is Link/Zelda. If you don't like that pairing, and decide to send me nasty little notes, flames will be used to toast bread. And make tea. Thank you.)

....We laughed together at the odd joke, and looked out the window as the plane lurched as it began moving. "And we're off..." he said quietly next to me.

And as I looked out the window, seeing his reflection in the window, I whispered to myself. "We sure are."

As soon as the plane had taken off, the odd silence that had filled the plane filtered away, almost as if everyone had been holding their breath for a long period of time. Soon, the laughter of the children and the light chatter of the other occupants filled the area, almost as if telling everyone that it was alright to breathe again. Although, I was having a bit of difficulty breathing with the man of an off-chance dream sitting right next to me.

As soon as people began talk and I had left my view of the window to look around, Link did the same and smiled at me as we caught eyes. Being the businesswoman I was, I was used to having to keep my cool under certain amounts of pressure. But, this was even making me crack.

He was perfect. Smart, kind, sweet, funny, and handsome to boot. I swear, if I was anything like Malon, I would have been acting as if I had just found the bloody Triforce. He was pure gold. ...As father would say anyway.

While some secret part of my mind was conjuring plots to whisk him away and be alone, I smiled and laughed, finally letting my thoughts of a laid back vacation come to focus. If he was there, it was as sure as hell to be good.

"So, what are you doing here, Mr. Adair?" I said, my curiosity taking over me over why he was going to the island.

"Oh me? I live there more than half of the time, but sometimes my work calls me back to good ol' Hyrule," he said, grinning broadly, which I had recognized as a way for him to show when he was being sarcastic. "And why are you going to my beautiful little island of dreams?"

"Nice, two-week vacation from my office. Figured I needed it, and the price was too good to give up," I said, his grin becoming infectious. He laughed at that, and I had to nearly stop myself from kissing him, or doing something else, right then and there. By the Goddesses, Malon would have already.

"Just from how you speak makes me think you're a busy bee," He said, grinning. "Although, I haven't seen one quite so witty in a long time."

I couldn't help but grin at him, saying, "Oh yes. Usually we're so dull, and oh so boring..." I said, imitating Malon's patented false anger, complete with the hair flip. This made him laugh again, and he turned to me, a un-sarcastic smile on his face. "Damn. If I knew you better, I'd just damn well hug you right now."

We laughed together at this, and quieted down as soon as we noticed that the drink cart was coming by. Now, I usually didn't get so thirsty, but I swear, I wanted to drown down Lake Hyilia at that moment.

The flight attendant smiled and took our orders, mine being just a simple drink of water. Link took a soda, and handed me my drink as I pulled out the trays.

The captain announced that because of all of the odd copyright wars that were going on in Hyrule at the moment, they would not be showing an in-flight movie, at which some of the passengers grumbled. But, the captain assured us that we would have radio and phone all during the flight. Not it mattered though. Most of the passengers had already fallen into naps, and others were either curled up, watching out the windows, or doing reading or writing of some sort.

Link himself pulled out a book and noted he wanted to catch up a bit in his reading, and jokingly asked if I would allow him to do so. I laughed and nodded, and decided to catch up on something of my own. Sleep.

Three hours later, I groggily woke up out of my sleep, noting that the cabin was dark, except for a few lights on from other passengers. Stretching and giving a yawn, I heard Link chuckle and note that I had woken.

"Well, good morning to you too, Mr. Adair," I jokingly said, sitting up straight and placing the pillow under my seat. He smirked and placed his book down, setting the bookmark next to it. "I see you caught up on your reading?"

"Well, yes. Although, I'd have to say it was quite hard with all of the snoring from you..." he said, and I pulled the pillow back out and playfully smacked him in the head with it a few times. "Oh! So rude!" I said in a high voice, making him laugh.

With the pillow safely back under the chair, our chatting began again, although, the man with his girlfriend snored loudly, much to his girlfriend's embarrassment. We laughed, and talked aimlessly as we had before, asking a view things here and there... like favourite movie and music, what Goddess we liked best and such, often commentating on the beautiful clouds that would float out the window.

"So, what family might you be from? Harkonnen is quite the famous name... even if it is common nowadays," Link said, his smirk seemingly plastered on his face. At this I sighed and shrugged, closing my eyes briefly.

"Well, not that most take my word for it, but I am in the Royal Family... Even if it's pretty much fallen by now," I said nonchalantly, hoping I wouldn't get either the usual shocked response or the glare of 'I-don't-believe-you-and-where-is-your-proof.' Whenever I saw the latter, I usually had to restrain myself from smacking the ignorant fool across the face. For some reason, I just couldn't stand that.

But, Link just nodded, giving his polite chuckle in agreement. "I'll take your word for it. You're definitely not the lying kind... And I can understand where your coming from," He said, ducking in near my face as he ended his sentence. "But... Do you have that mark on your hand? You know... the one that looks like the Triforce?" Link said, his voice nearly a whisper. I nodded, not sure what to say.

"Well, yes, but not many of the Royal Family has it though. My mother had it, but mine is on my right hand for some reason, which scared the crap out of everyone for some reason," I said, shrugging. At this, Link's eyes grew wide in sincere surprise, and apparently the look on my face was enough as a question why, because he muttered a 'nevermind,' and turned his attention to the seat in front of him. I raised an eyebrow, but didn't pry.

About two minutes later, the captain called over the intercom that they were arriving ahead of schedule due to a nice air current that had basically glided them along to the island. There was a lot of grumbling from people being woken, and the many clicks of seatbelts being hooked together, including Link's and mine.

The eerie calm silence once again filled the plane, and I looked out the window, seeing the lit up isle come into view as we came closer and closer to it. Soon after I saw the multi-colored lighted ground, we were coming into the runway, and you could nearly hear the breath of air being held at that moment. But, the brief moment of utter stillness evaporated as we hit the ground with a thump. Coasting to a stop, we pulled into the station, many already starting to gather up items under their seats and such.

I turned to Link and we smiled, each grabbing our carry-ons and getting ready to de-board. After all of the small checks and rechecks, we stood outside the gates in a near empty terminal as the other passengers filtered past.

One of the small children, whom I recognized as the one that had climbed up on the metal detector, was still half-asleep and curled up in his mother's arms, started to mumbled how he was just about to beat Ganon and needed to go back and get the Master Sword. I chuckled, and turned to Link, seeing he had a far-away look on him.

"Well, my hotel isn't far from here, and I just need to go confirm my car rental, and I'm off," I said, shuffling my half-asleep feet as an effort to wake them up. "Do... you want to get together for coffee or something while I'm here?" I near blurted out, my sleepiness making my uneasiness around Link ten times greater.

He yawned and smiled at me, and pulled out a blank slip of paper and a pen. "I made this ready in the off-chance you wanted to see me again," he said with a laugh. I laughed back again scooted over to a small table and wrote down the hotel I was staying at, my hotel room number, which I knew since I had reserved that room, and my cell phone number, handing it to him as soon as I was done. He pulled out his own slip of paper, with a neat scrawl of writing on it, stating his cell phone number.

He stiffened, and gave me a quick hug, laughing at my short surprised, but we laughed together, and parted ways, both of us promising to call in the morning, or if the other didn't.

Later, as I had climbed into my rental car and was nearing the hotel, I had only two thoughts on my mind. One, I had the chance of being with Link next morning. And two, Malon was going to have an fit as soon as I called, at which I smirked, being able to picture her reaction. Oh yes. We were going to have quite the talk when I called her.

Which I planned on doing as soon as I got into my room.

A/N: UGH! Sorry for the crap at the ending, but I plan to have Malon's phone call in the next chapter. You can just imagine her reaction, ne?

XD Yes, I'm braindead. So shoot me. XP

Well... If it's crap, it's because it's near 4am right now, and I have no brain. Oh yes, and I haven't edited. Blah.

But, let the shock wash over you! OMG! Tani-chan has actually written a second chapter to a story! And has a third chapter in progress! Yes yes! Let your shock ring out! XD ... I'm done now.

Well, I would also like to give a big thank you to my four precious (XD) reviewers, and a big thankies to Lunnaei for the nice long and helpful one, and Crimson Ashes for the fav on it. :D You all made my day. Or... days I should say. XD

Well... Let's see. I'm rather stupid, so they were on the plane for a good long time, weren't they? XD And excuse the crappy shot at drama there with the whole Triforce mark thing. Zelda's going to have fun finding out he has the same mark. XD But, I don't know if I'll really add Ganondorf or anything in here. This is just a silly romantic drama comedy thing. So not much adventure for you adventure loving peoples. XD Yes yes. Braindead.

And I know, I know. But I just had to add the little kid again. He was just too good. XD Yes, still braindead.

Favourite Line: 'One of the small children, whom I recognized as the one that had climbed up on the metal detector, was still half-asleep and curled up in his mother's arms, started to mumbled how he was just about to beat Ganon and needed to go back and get the Master Sword.'

Yes. I like it. XP BAH.

And since my brain is finally starting to give up on saying anything witty, as if I ever had before, I will bid you all good night and/or good day. Or morning. Or... whatever. XP

Thank you for reading though, and please note that reviews make me uber happy. :D

XD Yes. And braindeadness is a curse.
