XIII. Promises and Pancakes

Zelda had awakened very early that morning. She was a bit disappointed to find out Link had not come to bed. Well, at least he kept his promise to Young Link and stayed up with him she thought. She got dressed and went downstairs. The dining room was empty, so she tried the living room. There, she found two green clad Hylians fast asleep on the couch. The TV was still on, and popcorn was spilt all over the couch. Empty pop cans lay strewn on the scarlet carpet. Zelda turned the TV off and walked over the couch. She stroked Young Link's head, and he slowly aroused from his deep sleep.

"Good morning sleepyhead." Zelda said. Young Link yawned.

"Mornin' Zelda."

"Did you and Link have fun?"

"You betcha we did! We played video games, and watched movies, and had pillow fights! It was awesome!" Zelda smiled.

"Well, Sprite and popcorn don't make a good breakfast, so why don't you head off to the dining room. Link and I will join you shortly."

"Okay then, see ya." And Link happily skipped out of the room. Zelda edged her away across the couch to Adult Link. She stroked his head like she did Young Link's and he slowly awoke. At the sight of the beautiful princess, he smiled.

"Good morning, Your Highness." Zelda lightly punched Link's arm.

"You know very well I hate it when you call me that."

"Yes. I know you better than anyone else." Zelda smiled. She leaned towards Link and pressed her lips to his. "Giggle. You've got quite the case of morning breath."

"Well, soda pop aint the best mouthwash." They both laughed

"Come Link, get yourself cleaned up and have some proper breakfast."

"Right. Let's go" They stood up and headed upstairs. On the way, they bumped into Kirby.

"Morning Kirby," Link said.

"Hiya Link! Hi Zelda! I'm just off to get an early breakfast. I can't wait to dive into a stack of my favourite flapjacks! Mmmm, covered in syrup, steaming hot, soft, delicious pancakes. Can you believe they ran out yesterday? That's why I'm getting there early today." Kirby walked away, still singing praises about pancakes. In the dining room He saw Young Link.

"LINK! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kirby sprinted to the table and snatched the pancake Link was taking.

"Hey! That's MY pancake!"

"I never got any yesterday!"

"Neither did I!"

"Well, I'M HUNGRIER!"

"Too bad. I got it first! Besides, there's still plenty left. What's the big deal?" Kirby's gaze switched to the large silver platter on the table.

"Well…. Okay." And Kirby proceeded to take the whole tray, dump some butter and syrup on it, and eat it all up.

"Oh Link. I'm so excited about tonight!"

"Would it be alright if I didn't go?

"WHAT? Why?"

"Zellie, I'm exhausted. I stayed up all night with a ten-year-old."

"But…But you promised."

"I never said 'I promise'. I said 'you can count on it'."

"So what you're saying is that you're undependable"

"I never said that either. Gosh, why do you girls make everything so complicated? Why can't I just say I don't want to go?" Tears welled up in the eyes of the Hylian Princess.

"Fine, if you don't want to spend time with me, I'll just go and ask Marth!" She said through sobs.

"Marth? What's Marth got to do with anything?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm going to dinner with him." Zelda stormed out of the room.

"God damn! If it's not one thing it's another. Maybe I'm better off without her." Said an angered Link. He slammed his door shut and through himself at his cushy, oversized bed.

"My goddesses, that Link can't be trusted with anything." Zelda said. As she re-entered the dining room she saw Marth. She dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief and sauntered towards Marth. Marth was happily eating his eggs and hamwhen Princess Zelda sidled up to him. "Maarth," Zelda said in an innocent tone, "Will you take me to dinner tonight?"

"I thought Link was taking you."

"Oh, he changed his mind."

"Well, why me?"

"Maarth, pleeeeaase?"

"Zelda, I can't. Link wouldn't like it."

"So what you're saying is; I can only date other guys If Link's okay with it? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE YOU?" With that, she got up from the table and stomped out of the room.

"Well that was… weird." Marth said. "I wonder what's up…" Just then, Peach walked in. "Oh! Peach! May I have a word?"

"Sure!" and Peach walked over to Marth. "What's on your mind?"

"Zelda."

"Aw, Marth. Don't worry, you'll find someone. Don't be jealous."

"Oh no no no! It's not that!"

"Oh. Well, what then?"

"I dunno. Zelda's been acting REALLY weird lately."

"Well, she and Link did get in a fight… but they forgave eachother. Hmm…"

"Zelda just asked me to take her to dinner with you and Roy tonight."

"WHAT? Okay, something's definitely going on. I have to go talk to her now! Thank you Marth." She gave him a small peck on the cheek and rushed out of the dining room. Just then Ronald Smash passed by, heading to Young Link.

"Master Link. A letter." And he handed link a green envelope.

"Hey, thanks."

"Hey! A letter! A letter! What's it say? Huh? Huh? What's it say? What's it say?" Kirby said, eyes wide in curiosity. From the green envelope and distinct writing, Link knew it could only be from one person.

"Sorry, secret stuff. Can't see it." Link got up and went to his room to open the letter.
