The princess and the boy

Day(or night) 2

"Wow...Malon...you really know how to work it..." Zelda said with a slight laugh. She had walked in early only to see Malon dancing on the bar to some "rap" songs. Poor Malon nearly fell off the bar upon seeing Zelda.

"I used to dance...umm...as a night job to make money.... OKAY," Malon hopped off the bar and walked over to Zelda, "Today I have a surprise for you!"

"Oh yay," Zelda said in a half sarcastic half excited tone, causing Malon to give her a strange look.

"Anyway Princess, my old friend, Mia, is coming back to Hyrule so I'm giving her a job here. Now, Mia is VERY sarcastic, VERY liberal and a bitch," Malon said with a smile.

"Well, she sounds...umm...nice," Zelda said with a slight giggle.

"Now she will be here in about an hour...so be prepared, she might abuse you. Now excuse me, I have to call that asshole Link...ugh! Why do I put up with him." With that, she turned and walked into the back room.

Zelda looked at the clock, it showed 6:30 Pm. She didn't actually have to start working until 7, and that bar dancing looked kind of fun. She looked around the bar to make sure no one was there and then hopped on the bar and started dance like those girls in the hip hop videos. To bad she didn't see Link walk in.

Link laughed slightly as he watched the ex-princess dance on that bar. She had nice rhythm, nice moves, nice legs... 'ACK,' Link shouted at himself, 'don't look at her like that, she is the ex-princess, richest girl in Hyrule, pretty...and has a equally perfect boyfriend.' He looked at her again; his blue eyes scanned her entire body, and took special notice to the outfit she was wearing. Denim capries, a pink tubbed top and pink candies, she also wore pink hoop earrings and a necklace with a flower on in. It looked like she didn't get the memo that the 70's were over.

Link slowly made his way towards the bar, to get a better look at the funny scene. He decided not to let this go on anymore; it was starting to get embarrassing. "Hey Princess," he said a little too loudly, causing Zelda to startle and fall. Luckily, Link was there and able to catch her in his arms. (A/N: Wink Wink)

"Hmm second day with your new feet, Princess?" He asked with his usual smile.

"Oh...how long have you been standing there..." she stuttered completely embarrassed.

"Oh not too long, long enough, but not too long. Hey you're not that bad...just don't quit your night job." Zelda slapped him gently, but smiled shyly. She looked into his blue eyes and noticed something different from last night; they looked sad...and hurt. She remember what Matt had told her last night, about Link trying to kill himself. She looked at his wrist, and like Matt said, saw two sweatbands. Link followed her gaze to his wrist; he looked at the sweatbands...ashamed. "Yeah..." He mumbled softly. He remembered that night though he wished so hard he didn't.

"Well Well well," Malon said appearing in the doorway, "I leave you two alone for TWO minutes and you're all over each other!" Malon of course said this sarcastically.

Link smirked and gently put Zelda back on her own two feet, and said jokingly, "Well it's not my fault I'm so irresistible."

"Oh yes all hail Link, Naryu's Gift to women," Malon said shaking her head, "Zelda, can you get the vodka from the icebox...I need to discuss something with Link." Malon walked over to Link and grabbed him by the shirt collar. Zelda watched as Malon dragged the poor boy to the other end of the room. "I hope I didn't get him in trouble," she said walking into the back room.

"No Link, not her," Malon scolded. She narrowed her eyes at the boy, and placed her hands on her hips, obviously attempting a serious pose.

"What?!?! You act like I'm some fuckin' player," Link responded defensively.

"Listen Link, not to be mean, but she is way out of your league, and you just broke it off with the village slut, so can you cool down for just a moment."

"I'm not after Zelda, she has a boyfriend already okay...you act like I go after anything with an X chromosome (spl)."

Malon stared into his blue eyes for a moment. She had no reason to not trust Link, but still, she had a feeling something was going to happen and usually her senses weren't wrong. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away, "Please don't screw this up."

'Yeah, like I screw everything else up...' Link shook his hand and walked out the door. He looked at Hyrule; the sun was setting now making the sky look as if the gods painted it. The sky now did not resemble him, he didn't feel like he was those happy colors that danced in the sky. He was more like the dark sky of night, so lonely, so frightening...so alone. Sure, the stars and the moon were there...but they were too far away to be close to. "Like her..."

"Link?" Zelda's soft voice called out. Link turned around slightly, not saying a word. "I was just wondering if you were okay."

"I'm fine Princess, don't worried your little perfect head over me," he turned around completely and tried giving her the most genuine smile he could conjure up. Zelda of course didn't buy it, but she could tell Link was the secretive type.

"So, are you performing tonight...I mean your band?"

"Nah, we don't perform every night, plus we've performed everything on both our cd's, time to think up some new shit."

They stared at each other for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Zelda, my dear," the ever to annoying Charles said walking next to his girlfriend. Link rolled his eyes and turned around; rich men like Charles make him sick.

"Hey Charles," Zelda said quickly, "Link...umm...I'm sorry if I got you in trouble...I.."

"It wasn't you Princess," Link said turning to look at her, "don't worry, you worry to much. I'll see you tomorrow." Link walked away without another word. Zelda sighed as she watched him disappear; she wanted to be his friend...or maybe more.

"Zelda," Charles said sternly, "what was that about?"

"It...was nothing," Zelda said timidly.

"That's what I thought."

Zelda walked back into the club with a noticeable scared expression that caught the eye of Malon and a strange girl.

"Hey Zellie," Malon walked over to her friend quickly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Zelda said in an almost convincing tone, "Who is that girl."

"Oh this is Mia, our new recruit."

Mia was a tall girl, around 5'7, with dark brown hair, and the strangest eyes; one was green and one was blue. She wore some old looking blue jeans, a black shirt that same "Linkin Park" on it, and two sweatbands on each wrist. Mia has a soft face, but her eyes said something different; she was angry

"Oh hello, Mia, my name is Zelda."

"Yeah hi," Mia said in a cold voice.

"Ah, don't mind her, she is anti-social," Malon said shaking her head in defeat.

"Stop talking about me bitch." With that, Mia walked into the back room.

"Just be patience with her, her mother just died and she has no where else to go just...don't quit." Malon was now on her knees begging Zelda; obviously this hasn't been the first time Mia has caused trouble.

"Don't worry, I understand." Zelda smiled, "Lets get ready now okay."
