Chapter 2: Link's Decision

Lightning danced across the sky, striking the ground wherever it could. Link was running through the field, trying his hardest not to get hit. Bolts rained down around him, and he sensed his time may be coming soon. Just then, he looked up to see a flash coming towards him. It seemed to inch in slow motion, trickling ever slowly closer. He tried to run but found his legs had frozen. He was trapped. The bolt was touching his head. Then he woke up and screamed.

"Noooooo! Why did I have to wake up?" screamed Link, realizing what lay ahead. He looked over. Navi was gone. Whew! Link thought at least I can put that off for a while. He got up and walked to his main room. He would've eaten something but his stomach was doing flips. Not just regular flips, no, these put Olympic divers to shame. He still hadn't reached a decision. Maybe he wouldn't have to right away, maybe he could just say yes to all of them, buy some time. These thoughts were soon wiped out of his head as Navi flew into the room. She looked strangely satisfied.

"Well, everyone is now in on your little problem," said Navi.

"What? How could you do that to me?" yelled Link going into panic mode.

"Relax. They all understood your position. But they all want to meet you outside the castle gates at noon so you can announce your decision in front of all of us and not try any tricks. We know we've put you on the spot, so we could see that you might be thinking of ducking out," said Navi, "but there's no escape for you."

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" said Link, nearly throwing up just from opening his mouth.

"Are you kidding? We're all as nervous as you are. But we all made a pact not to do or say anything to influence your decision, and I will honour that agreement. Even though I can do things the others can't," said Navi.

"Nice try," said Link, but added, "don't worry. I haven't made a decision yet, so nothing's out of bounds."

"You don't know how true that is," said Navi suggestively.

"It's not working," said Link, causing a crushed look on Navi's face, "Right now, I just need time to think."

"Fine, I'll screw off," said Navi.

"Thanks," said Link. Then he realized that it was a mistake. Now he was alone and had nothing else to think about. It was 8:30 by the sundial out his window. He had three and a half hours to think. He weighed everything in his mind. Each girl was beautiful. They were all extremely nice people. All of them except Navi had large amounts of land. Link quickly removed that thought from his head. How superficial was that? He and Navi had been through so much together, but on the other hand, none of it was very romantic. He knew the other girls less, but his experiences with them had been much more romantic. But then again, they did all have faults. Sometimes Zelda seemed to live in a fairytale and at times Malon seemed to live in another world altogether. Ruto could get really clingy at times and Navi could be quite annoying. But all of these were just a candle against a sea of good qualities. This was going to take some more thought. He cold flip a coin (three times). No, love was not decided by games of chance. Who would it be? Who? Wh-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Link woke up a while later and ran to the window. The sundial said it was 11:00. He had an hour to think about it! Worse yet, it took an hour to get through the city. He had to make his decision while he walked. Well, no use worrying about it, he just had to get going. He would think of something. As he left the building, he ran into another old friend, Nabooru. Uh-oh, I can't let her see me! thought Link. He tried to duck behind a cart, but it was too late. Nabooru had seen him.

"Hey, Link! What's up?" she yelled. Link had no choice. He didn't want to seem rude. So he walked over.

"Link, I want you to meet my new fiancé, Damian," said Nabooru, motioning towards a man beside her. Link internally breathed a sigh of relief that would have shook the Earth to it's core had it been out loud. As in all stories with Damian, I'll let you make up what he looks like.

"Yo," said Damian, "You must be Link. I guess I owe you a big thank you for saving Nabooru last year. If you hadn't done that, I never would have met her."

"So, how's your life been?" asked Nabooru.

"Well, good and bad I guess you could say," responded Link.

"Why?" asked Nabooru.

"Well, Ruto, Malon, Navi and Zelda want me to choose between them," said Link.

"Really? Well, that must be awkward," said Nabooru.

"It is. I've been thinking of it all morning and throughout a large chunk of yesterday," said Link.

"Well, there's your problem. You're thinking with the wrong part of the brain. You're trying to analyse it too hard. How do you feel emotionally?" asked Damian.

"Well, I'm not sure," responded Link.

"It could take a while. I mean, none of these girls could possibly be perfect. There can only be one perfect person in the universe, and I'm standing next to her," said Damian.

"See? Isn't he great?" asked Nabooru rhetorically.

"I love you," gushed Damian.

"I love you too," said Nabooru.

"That's it!" exclaimed Link, "that's what I have to do!" He took off running to the edge of the city and didn't stop until he got there. He looked up at the sun, it wasn't quite noon. He sat there waiting, a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

Soon enough, all four girls had gathered and it was time.

"Well," said Link, "this isn't easy for me, but I'd have to say-"

Author's notes: Cliff-hanger! As of now, no one knows who Link will pick,and, I'll be honest, I mean NO ONE. I will do my best to update as soon as possible, once I decide myself.
