A/N: Ok, it's taken a long time to update…waits to be pummeled I'M SORRY! We're moving to Connecticut really soon so it's been really hectic.
sighs I love how sloppy and grammer-less Dark writes! You'll see and please….don't flame! Last, I don't know why, but I love the chapter name! Haha!
WARNING: If you're a big ZELDA fan (not all Zelda series, I mean the princess herself) and you're reading this only cause of her, FYI, the stars are Dark Link and Link, and Zelda's not gonna be big. This warning's only cause I've gone how long posting stories (not very good ones to boot glares at D & D and S.D and I like not having one flame in my whole account. So, big Zelda fans, please don't be mad!

Chapter Five: Friends Take Revenge for Friends
The principal glanced over as the shadow swiftly picked up a piece of chalk and began scribbling sloppy sentences on the board. Link changed his small laugh into a strange cough and put the note down on the table, rereading to analyze the truth in the note.
Dark Shadow Link,
I partly blame myself for overlooking your past offences and trusting you so heartily with such an important pleasure of playing Romeo. You are no longer allowed to take part in any school plays with the awful deed of clogging my sinuses with that horrid and dirty stink bomb. You certainly shouldn't be surprised I found out that it was you, for you left a note. I do not know if you are covering for another, but your note was quite out in the open, but your sloppy penmanship clearly states it was you who confessed.
You will be replaced tomorrow, and condemned to whatever the principal assigns to you as a punishment.
I truly hope that losing your role has taught you the importance of behaving.
-Miss Imma B. Yapper, Instructor of School Play Activities
HA!!! FUNNY THING, BUD. I HAD MY REASONS FOR THAT STINK BOMB AND EVERYTHIN WENT AS PLANNED. BOUT TIME ONE OF MY IDEAS FINALY WENT THE WAY THEY WERE SUPOSED TO. D
LINK, DUDE, I'M SORY. AND I HOPE THAT ME LOSIN THE ROLE MAKES US BROTHARS AGAIN. ANYWAY, I'M ONLY DOIN WHAT US MARVELOUS CREATURES (--SHADOWS--) ARE SUPOSED TO DO, COPY OUR LOOK ALIKE THREW HEAVEN AND (ESPECIALLY) HELL.
L8ER, BUDDY,
DarK
Link smiled again once he finished rereading the note, quickly tucking it into his jean pocket. With an expression he had long been without, Link looked up at the board to his look alike's back as the shadow lazily wrote on the bored. It was then that the Hylian actually took the time to see what Dark Link had actually written on the bored, behind the oblivious eyes of their keeper.
I'M SORRY, LINK
The shadow turned and gave one of the most heart-melting 'puppy faces' he could muster. The blonde Hylian held back his chuckle and nodded to his best friend. Soon their small, eye contact was broken when the principal loudly turned the page of his newspaper, ceasing the small reunion of the two friends.
----
"Thank the Goddesses. I almost thought that you guys would never make up. " Skull let out a sigh of relief as Dark Link shrugged. The world of detention, essays, nagging and pencil sores drifted away as the three friends split the bill of three burgers at the Wandering Wolfos Diner. The wooden teen chuckled as he took a bite of his vegetarian burger. "I mean, Dark, the fact alone that you apologized is astounding."
"Yeah, well. First time for everything. He said he was sorry too, ya know. We all know that's all that matters."
Link chuckled and slapped Dark's shoulder, causing him to almost drop his burnt to a crisp burger. "Hey, Skull, I think are cold hearted shadow friend is turning mushy."
Again the shadow shrugged, nudging Link's hand off his shoulder and casually sipping down his third Sprite. Though you could never tell from his face, for he wore his famous smirk as usual, the shadow was truly relieved to have his friend back instead of against him. "Enough of that. It's time to talk about the plan."
Skull stiffened a bit when Dark had said 'plan' and Link had suddenly grown a large, mischievous grin. "Plan?"
Link nodded and swallowed a large chunk of his cheeseburger as Dark Link chuckled sat back in the booth. "Mission: Replaced Romeos Ruin Recital."
With that, Dark snorted and let out a laugh that almost sounded like a bark. "The Quadruple R's! That sounds so pathetic."
While his shoulders shook with laughter, Link continued. "It's all starting come this Friday."
"Oh, no. No, no, no! Not on the dance, you guys! You've got to reconsider!"
"Don't worry, no one will actually be harmed and all the work put into the dance will be worth it. We're only targeting a few…. precise people."
The shadow finally recovered from his 'Quad R' laugh attack and soon hutched over the table where SK and Link were whispering. "The dance is only the beginning, Skull. The actual play is in another week. Link has his connections and I have mine. All we need is a little help from you."
"No! I'm not helping in your joke! Link, you must have more sense in you than DL!"
"SK, it's more than a joke and has all the sense we need. It's revenge, Skull. Revenge!"
Dark chuckled again and winked. "Sweet, on the rocks, old tragedy revenge."
The wooden teen bit his lip and then sighed. Link put out a pleading look and "SK, at least listen to what we have to say! Then you can either tell of us, your too bestest buddies in da whole world-" Dark chuckled again and shook his head. "-or help us out to seek justice for the injustice that was condemned to us."
On top of wondering if Link even used most of those words right, Skull Kid let out a final sigh of defeat. "I'll listen to what you have to say…..at least….."
----
"I'm going to ask him today! I'm sure he'll say 'yes'." The princess's fingers laced to each other as she dreamily gazed up at the flaking, old ceiling of the 3rd period Math class. "Don't you think so?"
"…..Mmhmm…." Malon slightly nodded as she finished rereading her letter and then folding it into a small square. The cowgirl then gracefully wrote a neat Kafei on the front of the square and sighed when she just sat and gazed at it.
"Malon!"
"Hmm….what?"
"Malon, you weren't even listening to me!"
"I'm sorry! I was writing something important." The blond Hylian's eyebrows furrowed as she leant over and eye the note.
"Oh, I see." She smiled and patted her friend on the shoulder. "You'll get him. Don't worry, he's probably just shy." Yet soon the princess's expression dimmed. "Kafei is a lot easier to ask then Link anyway."
Malon slipped the note away in an easy to reach spot when she needed its assistance again later on. "I thought you said you weren't into him."
Taking this in, Zelda ran through the answers offered in her mind, yet found none that had her precise feeling. With a defeated sigh, she glanced up at the teacher barely able to stay awake at his desk. "I know, but I feel like I owe something to him. That's all, really."
"Owe something? Zelda, that was part of the play, it was the instructor's fault. That kiss had nothing to do with personal emotion outside of the rehersal, right?"
"Of course, I have no feelings for anybody but…Link."
With that, Malon smiled and patted Zelda on the back. "That-a-girl! You two were meant for each other, don't go off with his recent attitude. Anyway, I saw him in the hallway with Dark Link between 1st and 2nd period. They either finally became good actors, or actually became friends again."
"Thanks, Malon. It's good I have I friend to rely on like you for advice."
"That's quite a compliment from Miss Triforce of Wisdom."
----
Come lunch, most students had found another to escort to the dance as a couple. Two of them however had drifted away from the topic of the Carnival of Time Festival Dance to the amazing redness of their other friend's cheek. "Wow…dude, I never thought you could get any darker, but you've proved me wrong." Link poked his shadow buddy's face, receiving a small hiss and a shove back. Dark's right cheek was mostly covered by several handprints, all giving off a dark glow in his already tan skin.
The Hylian boy laughed while Skull Kid stared at the marks with inquisitive eyes. "Wow, how many girls is that?"
The shadow snorted and frowned, glaring deeply into his tuna noodle casserole. "Six."
With that, Link cracked up, only to be pushed hard enough that his chair lost balance and almost tumbled over. "Six?! That's a new record for you, Dark!" The young Hylian cleared his throat so that only small chuckles escaped. "But seriously, I guess we both have problems with girls; I can't talk straight out to them and you talk too much in front of them."
Skull Kid shook his head while Dark Shadow Link grumbled some censored words under his breath from the insult and the soreness of his cheek. As the young Hylian sat rightly in his chair after the push, he glanced up as the sound of high heels snapped towards him. "Hi, Link!"
"Oh, hi, Zelda." A sudden lump began forming in the back of the boy's throat as the fair-haired princess stopped in front of his cafeteria seat. Realizing their large height difference, he quickly, and not very gracefully, stood up. "What's up?"
While meddling with the edge of his hot pink T-shirt, Zelda looked up to Link with enormous hoping eyes. Eyes of which made the lump in Link's throat bulk. "Well, I have been wanting to ask you a few things." Her eyes traced down to the messy tile floor, relieving Link of her stare.
"Oh…go ahead."
"Well…" The Hylian stiffened again as her gaze went directly into his own deep blue eyes. "Are you still mad at me?"
Feeling it best to hurry with any response that came to his mind, Link lifted his arm to the back of his head and grinned. "Mad? At you? No way! I was never mad, Zel, just a little ticked at some other things. But-but they're all taken care of now. Don't worry about it." From behind Link heard a deep chuckle, wishing he had eyes in the back of his head to glare down his shadow look alike.
It past once Link realized how fast he had spoken, and how much he was thinking when Zelda's lips were moving without his awareness. "So…I was just wondering if you were going to the dance with anyone."
The Hylian hero frowned. ….Awww, crap. He stared back into the princess's eyes while rushing to find some sort of response that wouldn't get him a slap in the face. "Well…I haven't gotten anyone yet…but really I don't think-"
"That's wonderful!" The lump jumped at the back of his throat once the princess enhanced her enthusiasm. "So, when will you pick me up?"
Link's ears drooped a bit. "You see, Zelda. I'm really sorry, seriously I am, but I'm not really planning on going with someone like you." Wrong words.
"Like me?" Zelda's expression became a bit disgusted, although she never once realized that her abilities to let one finish their statement were fading. "What's that supposed to mean?"
You idiot…crap, no! "Zelda, I didn't mean like you as in you're not the type of girl I would like. I meant that I'm just not really taking any girls to the dance."
"Then you don't like me?"
"No, I do! I really do, but-"
"But what?! You have some slut you're taking?"
"Zelda, please listen! I'm too busy with other stuff to take you to the dance!"
Slap. Swiftly, the princess of Hyrule turned around and stomped in the other direction, leaving the Hero of Time with a large, red, hand shaped mark on his left cheek.
He sighed and stepped back and sat into his chair, ignoring the 'Ooooo!' that followed from the newly attentive audience in the cafeteria. "Well, Link."
"Don't say it, Shadow."
"No wonder you're failing in Literature, you put all the wrong words in all together to create some super, deadly, begging to be slapped sentence!"
"Shut up!"
The two went back and forth until they heard a strange giggle and looked up to see their wooden friend laughing hysterically. After calming down from death glares he received from the pair, he gazed back at the sight and smiled again at the red marks on the boys' cheeks glowed. "Aw, the Links. Both amazingly more alike than one could imagine."
