Shiek's POV
"Please blink, or run! Do something!" I kept thinking over and over again to Peach. There stood the love of my life. I've only known her for a few minutes, yet I couldn't tear myself away from her. Those blue sapphires looking down at me were freezing me. If she saw me as Zelda, however, then I might never be able to see her again. It was a painful moment in my life...more painful then that battle with Link in fact. I don't know why I was paralyzed– maybe it was a part of transforming back into Zelda– but to know the moment she finds out I'm her sister things could be over and those pretty blue pools will never lay eyes on my again. There must be a way...If only she was stupid enough to...
"OH MY GOD!" she yelled in her cute yet really annoying high-pitched voice.
...I guess that was it...she saw me as Zelda...but wait...
I looked down at my hands– still covered in bandages! And my hair was still short...What the hell was she getting all giddy about?
"Look!! A bomb!" she said with such joy as if she completely forgot she was in potential danger since I was a "stranger". Does she actually trust me?
The Bob-bomb started chasing her in the opposite direction. I decided to take this chance to sneak away...
Zelda's POV
My limbs are so heavy! Everything hurts! I absolutely dread the fact I could be coming ill...my head hurt which also made me think there was some odd chance Link had drugged and raped me (though that was highly unlikely). But at this point, I would believe ANYTHING but the truth. I am in fact a boy. I can't hide it any longer!
I opened my eyes in my bedroom chamber. My vision was still a little groggy.
I took a quick glance around the shadows.
"Whew," I said after a while when my speech wasn't so slurred (my mouth was sore too), "That was such a close one! I almost remember every part of it...but–"
"Yea, that was a close one!"
I was startled for a second. That voice was so unfamiliar!
My eyes focused as hard as they could to glance around the dark shadows, trying to rest on some sort of figure or line that the voice might belong to.
...But my vision was still bad...
"You're lucky I saved your skin, or you would have been totally screwed!"
I still couldn't see in the dimly lit room, but out of the darkest shadows came a thumping of boots. The figure (of what seemed to be a boy a little younger then me) stood right above me.
"Name's Roy. I am the youngest prince of Embl–"
"What are you doing here?!?!" I asked in panic.
I quickly jumped out of the bed (swaying a little) and had my hands ready to cast all the spells it could in a heart beat. This young boy was a prince of a country we've been at war with since the beginning of time! He might be an assassin!
"Hold your pokemon! God!" he said, somewhat nonchalantly.
I dropped my hands a little, but I was still ready to attack. This boy...he did help me...and he wasn't an ugly troll (I've heard people from his land are hideous creatures) yet in fact he was...kinda cute!
"I want to end this war between our countries!" he said at long last, "All this silly fighting can be resolved."
I couldn't believe it! He was actually very wise and had the same views as me!
After a long awkward silence, I dropped my hands completely. He wasn't looking me in the eyes...
"You saw me transform, didn't you?" I asked, almost in a whisper.
He just nodded his head. Still not looking at me...
"Will I...will I turn to stone if I look right at your eye?" he asked.
Stone?! The silliest thing I've ever heard! Why would he think that?
...Suddenly it all became clear...
I walked over to him and put my hands under his chin. I lifted his eyes so they were resting on my gaze.
"Depends," I chuckled, "Are you a silly old troll?"
It seems they had ridiculous rumors of us as well as we had taunted them. We really were all the same...but why did it take til now to realize it? Why are we fighting in the first place?
We both started laughing. It's been a while since I've felt so happy at nothing. After a while, I forgot what I was laughing at!
Getting along with Roy wasn't going to be so hard. Who knows? We may just hold the key to ending our differences between our people after all.
This boy is brilliant! He knew much more then me! He even knew how to keep Peach busy with bombs (hence, how he saved Shiek). He even came up with a great plan! If our two sides were to marry, then we could settle differences! I of course do NOT want to marry anyone the way I am (the whole sex change thing) and he was far to young! So we decided...hook up his older brother Prince Marth with Peach! BRILLIANT!
...A tap at the door...
"Hurry!" I hushed, "we must keep our friendship and little 'scam' a secret! Okay? Meet me at midnight at the Fountain of Dreams! We shall discuss this further!"
He nodded in agreement, and as each second went by, that knocks at the door became louder and louder.
I showed him to a window where he snuck out quietly, no doubt already trying to make his way to the Fountain.
I opened the door to a lonely Peach. But she was crying which was totally not like her! Something was definitely wrong!
I took her hand and guided her towards a seat, silently closing the door behind me.
"This feeling is very scary," she started to say. I knew then and there...she was truly in love with Shiek.
My worse nightmare came true.
I was rubbing her back in comfort telling her everything is alright. I knew I was really the only person she could ever really turn to. I was the only person there. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty though. She is scared because she's never been in love before. And here I am forcing her to have those same feelings for someone she doesn't even know yet...how could I do this?
I wasn't completely trying to understand her. My head kept racing towards Roy. I was looking at the clock over and over again.
"Still another 2 hours until I see him again," I thought.
"You might be in love," I said out loud.
It was suppose to be more for myself then Peach, but I guess she took it as advice too.
I can't stop lying! First, I told Roy that I want her to love Marth for the kingdom when really it's just to get her of Shieks case! But what if I—I mean Shiek– hurts her?
I let out a big sigh as Peach left the room feeling a lot better. It was time for me to start heading out as well. Maybe If Peach loves Marth, Shiek will disappear! That would be the end of my problems...then I wouldn't have to worry so much about transforming in front of Link or Roy...
...Roy...
Why did I keep thinking about him?!
And when I thought about him...why did my heart begin to race?
