Chapter Seven, here! Some Zelink fluff along with another dramatic scene! Sorry it took so long. I found out that after I finished chapter 6, that I had the flu. I was soooo sick for forever and then once I finally got better, I got the stomach flu. Peachy? Not really. But I'm back to normal. Huge Thanks to my Readers and Reviewers! Don't forget to leave me feedback and Happy Belated St.Patricks Day!

I woke up the next morning feeling very regenerated and refreshed. The first night on the boat wasn't as bad as I had envisioned it to be, even though I slept on Malon's couch instead of in my nice comfortable bed.

I scanned room. My eyes glancing over a big lump in the bed where Malon was resting. Sun peeked in through the windows and came directly into my face, and, though it wasn't unwelcome, I didn't much apperciate being awoken at daybreak.

But it matters in the least. Today I will confront my father and offer my sincerest gratitude to Link for lugging all my things to this room. Even though I'll have to lug them all back later. Oh, woe is me.

I slowly and lazily sat up. I was wearing a pair of pajamas that I bought yesterday on my little escapade with Shiek to the clothing store.

Oh...that reminds me...Shiek. What am I going to do about him? Malon, well, she seems to like him but...she's such a conniving...! And, part of me doesn't want Shiek to even be around her. I'm half inclined to just brush it off, but I did make a deal and I can't go back on my word.

I stretched my arms and yawned, though not loud enough to wake her. My thoughts strayed to the connection between her and Link. That...outward display of Link's arm around her must have indicated something, but even so, neither of us have been on this boat long to snag a boyfriend. Well, with the exception, she's a model and can get whomever she wants...but still. Unless she knew him before hand...this is becoming way too difficult to even think about.

I glanced over to my purse and pulled from it my dEku player. It has a digital clock on its screen which would, presumably, tell me the time.

Well, if it decided to work, that is.

Stupid piece of junk, the battery was dead. I dropped it back into my purse, grabbed an outfit from a box on the floor which belonged to me and scurried into the bathroom to change. I took less than ten minutes, hair brushing involved, to be completely ready. I was wearing some khakis with cute imprints on them along with a nice black logoless tee. My golden hair fell past my shoulders, as it normally did and I wore a black choker to match my shirt.

First on my agenda was to find Link and apologize for leaving my things in his responsibility and thank him for returning them. Afterwards I would find Shiek and apologize for abruptly leaving the dining hall yesterday. I felt bad...I'll stop by the ice cream store before I head on over to the Doctors Office.

Actually, it might be safer to find Shiek over Link...considering I wouldn't know where Link resides, right? Well, whatever Niether of them are going to be awake this early in the morning.

And my father...I don't know how I should go about dealing with him. This "Narrie" person seems to have him wrapped around her finger.

And I mean, what can I possibly say to him that would make up for my actions last night? I stared at myself in the Bathroom mirror. What is wrong with me? Am I really a spoiled rich kid? I sighed and left the bathroom, pausing in Malon's room to see if she had woken up yet. She hadn't so I grabbed my purse and quickly exited the room.

The boat was becoming more and more familiar to me as time progressed. I was able to find my way to the deck in no time. Once on deck, I went to the very front of the ship to observe the sunrise. I'd never seen a sun rise on the ocean yet this one intrigued me and made me stare at the beautiful sky as waves lapped against the cruiseliner.

From behind me, I could hear someone calling my name. "Zelda...!"

I turned, I noticed Link walking toward me with his arm raised, waving to me.

He came closer to me and then stood beside me. I was half confused as well as nervous. What did I want to say to him again? I forgot. I couldn't think straight. Here was this gorgeous guy standing next to me and all I could think about was, well, how amazingly handsome he was. He was wearing a navy sailors uniform with golden buttons which seemed to match his hair and bring out his spectacular deep blue eyes.

"...so then I said that he needed to--Zelda? Are you listening to me?"

I was knocked out of my momentary daydream. Curses!

"Er, sorry, Link. What was it you wanted to say to me?"

He chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Ah, nothing. It's of little importance."

"Of course it's important! You wouldn't be saying it if it weren't!"

"This is true..." He looked away for a moment, as if trying to conjour something to say.

"Link, I uhm, wanted to thank you for bringing all my things to my...rather, Malon's room, yesterday. You really didn't have to do that, you know."

"Yeah, well..."

"And I apologize for the incident last night. You didn't have to stand up for me, you know. I mean, my father is very powerful and influential."

"If I didn't, no one would have." Unfortunately, this was correct. Positively no one had the courage to stand up against my father. Whomever did could be soon at a loss for a job.

Link's eyes were no longer on the sky, they rested on me. I could feel his gaze on me as I turned to face him. What more could I say to this man? He's done nothing but good to me and it's asthough I can't thank him enough. Maybe if I started some small talk with him--

"Zelda," he began as he pulled something from his pocket and took my hand in his. "I want you to know that if you ever need anything, anything at all. Please don't hesitate to come find me." He dropped the item into my hand and continued to stare at me.

"ZELDA!" Called a female voice from somewhere else on deck. My hands immediately pulled away from his as my eyes averted from him to search for the person whom the voice belonged.

Then I saw her. Yes, I was definitely in trouble. Was holding hands with Link for those few seconds really such a crime? Nothing romantic was involved!

But she came closer and closer, an infuriated look on her face. "Zelda! How could you do this to me? We're best friends!" Best friends! Since WHEN? I don't remember being best friends with Malon.

She snatched Link's arm, pulling him to her side. "Who do you think you are? After I showed you such hospitality last night and here I come to find you're messing around with my boyfriend! You're a skank! No wonder your father and everyone else hates you. I shouldn't have even bothered with a wench like you." She was being extremely dramatic, turning the situation into a bigger thing than it needed to be.

I was confused, and a little hurt too. Didn't she want to date Shiek? "But Malon, I-"

"No! I don't want to hear your story. I know what I saw, Zelda. You're a deviously scheming bitch and you honestly are the most spoiled boyfriend-stealer there possibly is. Just because your father is rich, that doesn't give you the right steal my boyfriend! I hate you, you stupid witch."

I honestly wanted to jump off this boat. This was the worst vacation of my life. My father and now this? All I could do was run. I ran, and I kept running until I managed to bump into Shiek. I was already crying by this time and he seemed to have noticed this. He didn't say anything, but he held me while I cried on his shirt. After a few minutes of this, Shiek picked me up and carried me to the doctors office.

I don't remember what happened next. I just remember being tucked into bed somewhere and then waking up to the sweet smell of Chocolate Ice Cream.

Dramatic, yeah? The first part of this chapter was written on 3/18 at 11:30 after watching Pride and Prejudice. :) I hope you liked it. Please review!
