Link slammed his fist on his little wooden table, angry with himself for obsessing over the fact Zelda no longer needed him or even wanted to be around him. "Why am I feeling like this? I can definately get over Zelda." He jumped from his seat, pacing in his room. "Of course, I can. There are many girls I can get close to. Zelda... sure, Zelda was important but I must move on"
Link did this all the time, talked to himself, trying to prove to himself that he was not going insane in his mind.
He walked out from his house and onto his balcony ledge. With ease, he jumped over the little rail and whistled for Epona. He was planning on going to Gerudo palace.
As soon as he got there, Queen Nabooru rushed past him on a horse. She was dressed very elegantly but it appeared she was late for something. Link turned Epona around and followed her,trying to catch up. "Nabooru! Where are you going?" he shouted, loud enough for her to hear. She coughed and shook her head, keeping her eye contact ahead of her. "Hyrule Castle." Link and Epona came immediately to a stop, allowing Nabooru to ride out of sight. "To Hyrule Castle?" He said aloud, wondering why Nabooru would go there. He sighed and left, once again looking for entertainment.
Link rode around the field some before going to Zora's Domain. Before he even got there, he saw Ruto swimming freely up the stream. "Ruto...? Where are you going"
"I'm off to Hyrule Castle." She replied, nonchantly.
"Why is everyone going there?" "Didn't you hear? Zelda was proposed to by a handsome man! I must see it for myself!"

Link just about fell off his horse. "She WHAT? Did she...well...you know...accept it"
Ruto looked puzzled, wondering why Link wasn't happy. "Formally, No, but I am requested in attendance. Why didn't she tell you"
"She doesn't...tell me anything...anymore." Link said, frowning. "We're not friends anymore. I...I'm.." Link was at a loss for words. "I'm happy for her though. Tell her that when you see her"
He closed his eyes and shifted on his mount. "Enjoy the party, Ruto." He nodded and rode back home while Ruto swam quickly to the Hylian Party.

Zelda sat on her throne, admiring her new diamond engagement ring on her finger. It was a pure gold band with a diamond the size of a ruppee. The man who had given it to her was equally as stunning. He had amazingly dark black hair with grey eyes that held stories of emotion. He was the Prince of Termina. 'This is my Destiny. I must marry this man and preserve the nation of Hyrule. Not a bad choice, I must say!' she thought. Ruto was the one to interrupt her thoughts. "My, my! How is my dear, dear close friend!" She was dry by now as she hugged Zelda. "I must talk with you. Please come with me?" Zelda stood up and walked with her to the gardens which resided just outside of the ball room. "How have you been, Ruto? What do you need to discuss?" Zelda inquired, still gazing at her engagement ring. "Well.." Ruto began, "You see, I heard about your engagement. News travels quick in my parts, I just wanted to say congratulations!" She smiled and glanced at the Prince from the window. "He'll make you happy, especially in bed." At that, Zelda slapped her playfully, blushing furiously. "RUTO!" Ruto giggled insanely and soon they both were giggling madly. After they stopped, Ruto stared at the sky. "I ran into Link earlier..." she began, not sure if Zelda wanted to hear about Link. Apparently, she did for her ears perked up instantly at the name. "Link? Really"
As the gardens, as well as the castle, were on the hill that overlooked the Marketplace and field, it was peaceful to watch the townspeople and travelers go to-and-fro.
"He seemed upset. About your getting engaged and everything." Ruto said, shaking her head. "No one told him anything and he felt so left out." Zelda shook her head. "Oh, no. That is not my fault. Do not blame this on me." Her tone changed from passive to stern. "He knows my father does not like him. He knows that if he wants to see me, he can but does he? DOES HE?" Zelda said, practically screaming. Ruto shushed her quickly, indicating someone would hear her anger"
"I've been getting along just fine without him!" Zelda said, quieter. Ruto was silent for a few minutes before speaking again. "He said...that he was happy for you. Then he rode away." Ruto looked down, "My favorite couple, now on bad terms." Zelda hit her again, this time it wasn't playful. "We are NOT a couple! I am married Prince Kei of Termina at the end of this month. He makes me happy. Link does not! Do you understand me?" Zeldas fists were balled up and fury. Ruto held her face in her hands, especially the part where Zelda hit her. "Geez, Zelda. You're...not like I remember you." "TRY RUNNING BEING PRESSED TO RUN AN ENTIRE COUNTRY, MARRY SOME GUY I DON'T EVEN KNOW AND NEVER BE ABLE TO GO ANYWHERE FREELY. YEAH, I'VE CHANGED. MORE THEN YOU OR LINK'LL EVER KNOW!" She shouted, loudly and with that, she ran off, not caring about who heard her scream. She was practically in tears.
