XI. "Get away from me you MONSTER!"
Zelda was sitting on her bed, crying. Her face was in her hands. Just then there was a knock at her door.
"DAMMIT LINK! GO AWAY!" She screamed.
"Sweetie, It's me, Peach." Zelda got up and opened the door. "Zelda, what happened?" Peach asked as she put a comforting arm around Zelda.
"Oh, it's Link." She said. They sat down on the bed. "He… he's being so stupid. It makes me so mad." And Zelda fired a ball of magic at a lamp.
"Oh Zelda," Peach said as she hugged her troubled friend. "Don't get mad. It's not worth it. Now, what did Link do?"
"Oh, we met Ganondorf today at the post office and he said he was Link was going to die. I told Link that maybe he is really serious, but Link didn't think that. I told him how much I thought he was in danger, but he still didn't listen. He said I was underestimating him and treating him like a baby. sniffle I'm only trying to do what's best because I love him; but I don't think he loves me." And Zelda started sobbing again. Peach hugged Zelda even tighter.
"Oh Zelda. Link loves with all his heart. But sometimes guys can be really stubborn. They think they can do things they can't because they want to be the greatest. Link thinks he can handle whatever Ganondorf throws at him because he thinks that if he beat him once, he can beat him again. But he doesn't understand that Ganon could still beat him. That's just the way guys are. Believe me, Mario is just like that sometimes. Just keep telling him to be careful and tell him it's because you love him. You two love eachother so much Zelda. I don't want to see a beautiful couple like you two separated. Okay?"
"Ya, I guess sniffle. Thank you so much Peach."
"Anytime girlfriend. And remember, if you need me, I'll always be there. Friends forever?"
"You got that girlfriend. Forever 'til we die."
Young Link was looking for Adult Link.
"Ya I saw him," said Roy "He went up to my room, he seemed pretty upset, so I didn't ask why."
"Thanks a bunch." Young Link said. Roy gave his key to him and Link went up to the room.
Adult Link heard a knock at the door. He sprang up from Roy's bed to answer it, hoping it was Zelda. He was meaning to apologize. He felt disheartened when he found it was just Young Link.
"Urgh, what do you want now?" Link said impatiently.
"Um…well, I thought we could, y'know… talk.
"Talk? You came here to talk? What makes you think I wanna talk to you! Do you have any idea what I'm going through! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!" Link picked up a vase and hurled it and Young Link's head. WHAP. Young Link felt a searing pain where the vase hit his head.
"So this is what I get for trying to make things better? A PIECE OF FUCKING POTTERY THROWN AT MY HEAD!"
"Oh my god, Link I'm so sorry I just—"
"NO. GO AWAY."
"Link wait!"
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!" And Link ran off, crying. Just like Zelda.
Zelda and Peach heard someone crying outside their door. They opened it to find a bloody Young Link.
"OH MY GOD!" The princesses said in unison. They pulled him into the room.
"Peach, get some toilet paper and my first-aid kit."
"Right. First-aid. Toilet paper." And Peach stumbled into the bathroom."
"Link, what happened to you!" Zelda said
"Uhh." Link moaned. "That…that. MONSTER."
"YOU WERE ATTACKED BY A MONSTER!" Zelda shrieked.
"You could say that." Young Link said.
"Link please, what happened?"
"Well, after you left Link, he got all mad. Then he flipped out on me and went back to the hotel without me. When I got back, I went to his room to talk. He flipped out again and chucked a vase at me."
"HE DID WHAT?"
"Paper! First-Aid!"
"Thank you Peach." Zelda proceeded to dab Link's wound with an anti-septic towellette. "Sorry, this might sting."
"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" Link screamed "Sweet Farore that stings!"
"Peach, did you hear? Link threw a vase and Young Link's head."
"HE DID WHAT?"
"Yes, my sentiments exactly." Zelda started to bandage Link's wound with the toilet paper. "When I see him, we're gonna have a little talk."
"Want me to come?"
"No. No thanks. This needs to be just him and I. How are you feeling Link.
"Dizzy."
"Rest here. Peach look after him while I go talk to Link."
Link was still in Roy's room, lying on his bed. He was so angry at himself. He was going to lose his life, his girlfriend and the closest thing he had to a brother. There was yet another knock at his door. Link didn't do anything. He didn't want to talk to anyone right now.
"Link, please open up. It's Zelda." Link didn't stir. "Link…hello?" Link merely rolled over. "Link, I'm counting to three."
She's counting to three? My god, she really does treat me like a baby.
"…THREE!" There was an explosion and where the door stood before, was now a big hole, with Zelda standing in it. "Link, please we really need to talk." Although he didn't say it out loud, Link knew Zelda was right.
"Look Zelda, I'm sorry that I was being so stubborn. I know you just trying to help and I appreciate that. Maybe I should be a little more careful, but if do, will you promise to lay off a little?"
"Yes, okay, I promise. But just remember, I did that because I love you.
"Oh I love you too." Link pulled his face to Zelda's. Then he felt a sharp pain on left cheek as Zelda slapped him.
"You're not off the hook yet!" She said, "We still have to talk about what you did to Young Link." Link sighed. "Like me, he's only trying to help. When he came up to talk to you, he didn't know why you were so upset. You can't expect a ten year-old to understand these things."
"I know, I know. I was just really upset. I know I shouldn't have taken my anger out on him because he didn't do anything."
"And how are you going to solve this."
"I'll say sorry."
"And what? Link, after what you did, sorry's just not going to cut it."
"I don't know, treat him to dinner? Take him out to a movie?"
"That's more like it. Now, I want you to apologize to him. Then ask him how you can make it up to him, okay?
"Okay."
"He's in my room with Peach. Be careful though, knowing Young Link, he's probably going to throw something at you when he sees you."
"Gotcha." Link hugged Zelda, then left for her room.
