CHAPTER 4

Dinner n a kiss

Zelda squinted as they stepped out of the clock tower. When her eyes adjusted to the light her first view of Clocktown was seen.

It was very different from Hyrule. This was a small open area which seemed to be only part of the town. The clay walls stood high. It was more homely than Hyrule, she thought.

Link lead her to the left of the town. They walked around for a few minutes until they came to a building with a sign that read, "Stock Pot Inn".

"This is the only place to stay in Termina", stated Link. They entered the inn and waited for someone to come at the reception area.

A woman steeped out behind the wall and came to the desk. "Hello, my name is Anju. Would you be renting a room?", she asked.

Link came up close to the counter and said yes. The woman handed him a key and Link paid for the room. He motioned Zelda to follow and took her bag for her. They walked up the stairs until they got into the room.

Zelda peeked her head in. It was a small room, though there were two beds. She was relieved at that, for sleeping with a man in the same bed without being married was her idea of wrong. She thought of this and remembered that her and Link slept beside each other in the woods. 'That was only on the ground though', she thought.

There was one window in the room which was right in front of them. It was small and let little air in the room. 'Oh well', she thought ' This'll have to do for now.'

Link and her entered the room and started to unpack their things. Link had brought some extra pairs of tunics that were red and blue. Before they had left the castle, Zelda had remembered to bring some of her money with her. She knew she needed money if they were gonna eat and such.

Zelda sighed and laid back on the bed. She was still dizzy from sleeping all the way to Termina. She looked up at Link, who was stuffing his tunics into a dresser. She turned her to look out the window. It had been hours since they had left Hyrule and her stomach was growling. "I'm hungry", she blurted.

"So am I!", something else squeaked. Zelda eyes widened as she stared at the ceiling.

'No,", she thought. ' NO!!! It can't be' She hesitated to look to the side. 'Please don't let it be…'

She looked over to see, who else, Navi, the glowing ball of annoyance. "No!!!!"., she yelled at the florescent ball, flouting over Link's head. "What the hell are you doing here!"

The fairy turned green. "What, you don't love me?", asked the fairy sadly.

Zelda blinked. "What are you psychotic?!!! You're the most annoying thing ever to be put on this planet!!!" Zelda got up and stormed out of the room.

Link, blinked, still confused that Navi had slipped into his hat when they were leaving Hyrule. He glared at the fairy, and hurried after Zelda, leaving Navi alone in the small room.

Zelda stomped down the stairs and outside. She really hated that fairy. 'All fairies should die, if there like that one!' ,she thought furiously. Zelda wasn't exactly sure why she had to storm out of that room. Maybe it was what she feared she would do to it if she stayed.

Zelda quickly opened the door and marched out, unaware that Link was trying to catch up with her. She was so frustrated not to notice someone was standing there, and she bumped into him, falling to the floor.

"Ow!", she exclaimed rubbing her head. She looked up to see what she had bumped into. A hooded figure loomed over her. All she could see was his mouth, due to the shadows of the hood.

Zelda turned bright red with embarrassment. ' so much for princess's being graceful', she thought. Link walked out, seeing her on the ground, he helped her up.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir. I wasn't watching where I was going.", she said trying to hide her embarrassment. The hooded man smirked.

"That's just fine, miss", he answered. He walked off to the right of the village and disappeared. Link and Zelda were left standing alone.

Link grinned. "What, you didn't see him? Blind with fury are we?", he joked. Zelda reddened even more now. She crossed her arms and stormed off the other way.

"Hey, wait!", he said grabbing her shoulder. Zelda felt her heart flutter at his touch. She turned around to meet his face. "You said you were hungry?"

She remembered this and nodded her head. "Well then do you suggest that we go eat?", he asked.

"Yeah, sure. Just as long as that stupid fairy doesn't come along." , answered Zelda. He laughed at this, and hooked arms with her so her could lead her to a place to eat. She sighed inwardly with delight.

When they entered the tavern, they were seated immediately by a hostess. She grinned when she saw the young couple and winked at Zelda. That was the girl's way of saying 'good choice'.

Zelda blushed a little. She was going to tell her that they were just friends, but shrugged it off thinking it would be kind of rude towards Link. The young hostess lead them to the corner of the restaurant and seated them in a booth.

"What will ya'll be drinkin tonigh?", she asked. The woman had some sort of accent. Zelda couldn't put her finger on it though.

"Just water please.", said Zelda. Link nodded to the waitress, indicating he wanted the same. She looked at them a little weird, but shrugged and went off.

"Guess teens usually order alcohol.", commented Zelda after seeing the confused face of the waitress.

"Yeah, well they give it out here illegally. No one ever reports it though.", he said.

"You seem like you know this place well, Link.", she said. "How many times have you been here?"

"Not much. I used to go here as a little kid, cause I had nothing better to do.", he answered.

"Oh..", she replied, observing the people in the room. She stopped when she got to the bar. The hooded man that she bumped into not that long ago, was sitting there. He had already bought a fairly large mug of rum. It was halfway drunken. Surly he had only been there for a few minutes. She scowled at the man for being able to scarf down such an amount of rum in that time.

Link noticed her disgust. "Yeah, they're all drunks in this town. All they do is come here."

"oh…", she said still staring at the man. There was something about his grin. She saw it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember. The waitress came back and put down their drinks.

"So, ya ready to order?", she asked. Zelda snapped out of her state of concentration. She looked up. Link was waiting for her to order first.

"um… chicken salad?", she asked. The waitress nodded and looked over at Link.

"Just chicken." , he said.

The waitress put on a sincere, but fake smile. "Ya orders will be here within ten minutes.", she said walking away.

Link and Zelda sat in awkward silence for a minute. She had no idea what to talk about. Thoughts ran through her head, but she dismissed them, thinking it would be a stupid subject.

"So..", he broke the silence. "Have you ever traveled anywhere else than Hyrule?"

"Well… I've been to the surrounding cities of Hyrule…oh, yeah, I've been to Artania. That's about it though."

"Oh, I've been there! That place is a nonstop party. It's great.", he said.

Zelda had only been there on business matters with her father. She had heard of the great night parties held there. Every time she tried to sneak out she was always caught. "Unfortunately for me, I could never attend the parties. My father said 'it's not fit for royals'", she said in a mocking voice of her father.

He laughed. "Well, he's kinda right. I wouldn't think a person like you would like those kinds of parties"

"What's that supposed to mean?", she said almost hurt. "Just because I have the title of royalty, doesn't make me have the personality of one. That's so stereotyped of you."

"Sorry….I just would think, your so used to balls and such that it would be too crazy for you.", he said, but once he finished the sentence, he knew that was the wrong thing to say.

"OH really!", she practically yelled. Everyone in the tavern stopped what they were doing and stared. "I have you know, Link, that I can handle plenty!"

Link leaned over the table trying to calm her down. "Shhh, Zelda your making a scene.", he whispered.

Zelda looked around to see everyone watching. Her cheeks went pink, for exploding like that, as she slowly sat back down. She took in a deep breath, and let it out. "…Sorry…"

"…err…that's okay…", choosing his words carefully so that he didn't set off another time bomb.

"That was very unprincess-like of me to do.", she said. "I…I should go back to the hotel now…" Zelda got up from her chair.

Link grabbed her hand. "No, its alright, sit down.", he said.

"Link, everyone in here thinks I'm a lunatic.", she whispered.

"I don't", he said. Zelda melted at this. She didn't show it though. Quietly, she sat back down.

After dinner, Link and Zelda walked back to Stock pot inn. When they entered there room, they went to sit on the same bed.

"Thanks for taking me to dinner, Link… I'm really sorry I yelled at you like that.", said Zelda.

"That's okay. I deserved it anyway.", he said smirking, "I'm sure you can handle more than normal princesses can."

"Yeah, I guess…."

"But, do you mind if I test that theory?", he asked.

Zelda smirked, not knowing what he was referring to. "What do…", she started, but couldn't finish. Link kissed her. She knew it was right to pull away, but she didn't want to escape this wonderful, new experience. She had never done this before, and she certainly didn't want to stop. Before things could get any further, Link pulled away smiling.

Zelda was a bit shocked, but more so satisfied at his action. "I guess your right. You can handle a lot.", he laughed. He went to his bed and tucked himself under the covers. "Goodnight, Zel."

Zelda sat still in the dark of the room. No matter what horrible thought entered her mind, she couldn't get rid of the smile that seemed to be plastered on her face. She slowly tucked herself into the bed, trying to fall asleep, holding back a joyful scream…
