Happy happy joy joy! I'll try to post one of these chapters everyday. I'm just making them up as I go along. Some people might hate me for this chappie, some might love it :) But anyways, on to reply to reviews!!! BY THE WAY… X-Men 2 is the DEFINITION of PERFECTION!!! Anyone who loves Nightcrawler just as much as me will happily agree =D
Moon Shadow: I know, I kinda get tired of all the stories that make Zelda seem perfect, so for a while I stopped liking her character and I started preferring Link and Malon pairings. Then I realized I should just write a story with Zelda a different type of person you usually see.
Hellhead1: Thank ye :) I'm continuing now.
Cybersten: I'll be updating everyday I think. It all depends on how I feel somedays =P It's an all new side of Zelda actually, everyone else I just keep the same =P
Rai Dorian: Ugh -_- Fanfiction.net screws up for me all the time. But I love it and contribtue to it anyways =D Anyways, thank you!!! As I've said before, I got tired of Zelda being a nicey nice person so I decided to make her a spoiled brat.
Kirsty: Thank you
Lauren: Thank you too=P
JingleJake9: Yeah…I suppose, but It'd be too complicated for me =P Thank you
?_?: =P Thanks. I liked that chappie too *hugs it* I was able to show off my pervertedness without making it seem outta place =P jk
Yukori: THAnK yOU tOo.
Princess Zelda: Aww Thank you ^_^ I'm glad you find my story unique! And don't worry ;) I think the thougths that Swordofblackroses put in here are somewhat close to what you had in your head =D AND YES!!! You love x-men too!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Link Turambar: Thank you too :)
Rising Dragon: I was thinking about how when some people are angry they threaten to dig someone's heart out with a spoon =P
IMPORTANT! But, with that all good and done… I have another matter to DISCUSS. There is a story, Fall and Take Your Title With You. It is done by Swordofblackroses and it is VERY good. The link there (heh heh, I'm so thoughtful for you lazy people =P) and anyways…just read it. I will be looking at other stories that my reviewers have written (I'm to busy to be looking at them right now) in later chapters, and I will also recommend the ones I like for them. BUT ANYWAYS!!! You MUST! Read that story because it is REALLY good. It's one of the few stories that doesn't make Marth look gay =P It's an SSBM fic, and it centers around Link, Zelda, and princess Peach, and Marth, so why not read it?
ANYWAYS… on with the story. (holy crap these reviews took up a whole page on microsoft word)
~~~
Zelda had found that Link was very good company. He always kept quiet unless she wanted to talk, and he did exactly what she told him to. He hardly ever screwed up, and when he did, it was because she didn't tell him what to do very clearly – though she would never admit it and start yelling at him despite whose fault it was.
And the young boy had been leaving an impression on her. A very big one.
Impa even recognized it. Just in the little ways, like just her being nicer to her inferiors. And somewhat gentle with the way she handles things.
But then there were those times where it seemed like she was worse that usual. Like her throwing a temper tantrum whenever Link couldn't come to her, or whenever Navi decided to pester her. And basically also whenever Link or Impa weren't there to observe her behaviors.
But Zelda never noticed those changes within herself. She never saw herself treating people with more kindness with Link than when without him. To her it was all the same. So Impa finally decided that she couldn't count on that to mean that the Princess really was starting to fancy Link.
She also feared what would happen if the Princess was fancying Link. She wouldn't believe the kitchen rumors and gossips about the fair Princess, but she couldn't just go ignoring them. She did have to take precaution, because even though she had all her trust in Zelda, she knew that Zelda could just screw up as easily as any of the young giddy kitchen maids whenever a drunken guards comes in to flirt with her.
And even if the rumors weren't true, if some people started believing them then it might cause disloyalty, because who would want to serve an adulterous Princess?
Impa sighed. She didn't know if she should encourage the relationship the two had formed, or to try and remind Zelda that Link was only her slave. She shook her head sadly. Either way something bad would happen.
~~~
Again, as often, Link and Zelda were fighting about something. Or rather…Zelda was yelling at him saying he was wrong, and he was trying to defend his statement. They were in Hyrule's market, as they often went, and were trying to decide which was better to get: violet seeds or rose seeds.
Zelda had wanted more roses, because she only had roses shouldering the pathway that went around the courtyard, and she wanted some mixed in along with the other flowers. Link was trying to suggest that violet would've gone more lovely with the other golden and purple flowers, and that she shouldn't try to mix the roses with them.
But she kept on insisting that she just had to have more roses despite Link's better judgement. And Navi never put in her input either. Navi knew that the fights the two had amongst each other were strictly for them to fight, and she was to keep out or she would somehow enrage the princess even further.
"WHAT I SAID WAS FINAL! The ROSES are more BEAUITFUL, THEREFORE! If we get more the courtyard will BE PRETTIER!"
"Yes but if the beauty is not ordered then –"
"JUST SHUT UP AND BUY THE ROSES!"
Link muttered something under his breath that the princess didn't hear, but Navi did, about Zelda being a stuck up brat who couldn't listen to other's opinion. He took out the change in his pocket and gave it to the flower girl, and took the rose seeds and held it out to the princess.
She just stuck her nose in the air. "Don't give to me to carry, I'm not the servant!"
Link sighed and put them in his pouch. Navi just giggled and whispered back to him an agreement to the statement he had made earlier.
But then as soon as they were starting to leave the stall, the princess did something that shocked both him and Navi. She pulled him into the back alley way, and looked at him. She didn't have the bossy, "I'm the queen of the world!" look, but now a more sincere and innocent look.
"Link…we're friends, right?"
He looked at her as if she was going crazy, but he nodded. "I'm your servant."
She shook her head, getting a little bit annoyed. "I know that…but…being my friend would be different."
Link was very confused. The same girl who had just argued and gotten upset just over FLOWER SEEDS was now asking him if he was her friend like a 5 year old. Navi on the other hand, had quite different feelings. She was trying to hide her obvious disgust of the human and kept making signs at Link to say he wouldn't be her friend.
But he ignored, and smiled at the princess. "Yes. I supposed we are friends then."
Zelda smiled in delight. "Can we go walk around some more?"
"Of course."
And so they walked around for a while, musing at different things. But then afternoon came. Link had found it pleasant to be now considered Zelda's friend. She wasn't quite so bossy, and she didn't fight with him the rest of the day. But the of course, something had to go and screw that up…unintentionally of course.
And it all happened when Link's eyes all the sudden recognized a certain red-headed girl named Malon.
~~~
Impa got up out of her usual seat in the dungeons, as she usually watched the prisoners as well as do other things, and started to head out. Her thoughts were still troubling her, about the princess and Link. She knew she needed guidance in what to do. And she knew where to go.
The Temple of Time.
Slowly, and discreetly, she snuck past the guards easily. She didn't want anyone to know she was gone for her own reasons. It was somewhat easy, as she disappointedly thought. 'Maybe I should I work them harder…' she thought to herself.
Getting to the Temple of Time from the castle gates weren't too hard. No one ever noticed each other. And it was surprisingly crowded that particular day. But despite the crowds, it was impossible not to notice the circle that seemed to be formed around Zelda and her servant. She smiled. No one seemed to want to come near the princess whenever she was out in public, but she only expected so much. The princess did have a bad reputation from certain rumors from drunk guards. Then she started to wonder what exact rumors were the guards spreading.
When she got into the temple, she was relieved to see no one there. She ran up to the alter in front of the Doors of Time. In her life time, the Doors of Time had never been opened. But there were always legends…
She shook her head. The days of legends were past, why remember them? All that was left was the symbol that the 3 Goddesses had left behind. The Triforce. She put a hand to her heart and bowed her head down in reverent awe. Quietly, she spoke.
"Nayru…Goddess of wisdom…please grant me your advice. What should I do about the problem concerning the young Princess Zelda and her new servant? She is no longer a girl, but a grown woman, and a young woman no matter how pure cannot resist the calls of nature. Is it wise to let Zelda and Link continue their relationship before it goes further?"
Of course, there was no answer. But Impa felt a growing peace in her heart. She knew that she had been heard, and that the answer would come.
She stood up and exited the temple, after doing a silent prayer of Praise to the 3 Goddesses.
~~~
Zelda and Link had been having fun for the rest of the day. They had done practically everything except for sling shot, but Link had known better than to risk Zelda's temper when he knew she'd never hit a single target. Navi had also flown away. She was thoroughly disgusted with Link at the moment, and had no patience for certain spoiled children.
They day had been going great. So later Link would have to wonder, how did it turn into such a bad day?
Right when they were about to go back to the castle, they were walking a little bit slowly, and Zelda had been complaining her feet hurt. Link didn't mind, he knew she didn't get out much, and so of course her feet would hurt from all of the excess walking they had done that day. So it came to no surprise when she stumbled and tripped. Since it was no surprise, he caught her fairly easily.
He failed to notice the blush on her face when he helped her up. The finally, the voice that Link found irritating at times shot out of her mouth. "I didn't need you to catch me!"
Automatically, he said, "I'm sorry Princess," even though she would've yelled at him if he hadn't of caught her.
But then, he saw her. The red headed her. An old friend of his. But obviously, she saw him first.
"LINK!"
Zelda looked up to see what female voice dared called out her servant's name. She was even more appalled when that certain girl threw herself at HER servant! And how DARE he forget that his PRINCESS was there!!!
"Malon?" Came his startled reply.
Then he wrapped his arms back around her too.
Zelda was NOT pleased.
"EXCUSE ME!" Link and Malon both looked at her.
Malon gasped, and immediately went to her knees. "Your majesty." She replied with the utmost respect.
That respect didn't keep Zelda's fury away. "WHAT exactly where you DOING….glomping MY servant!"
Link couldn't help but notice that friend had quickly become servant again as he fought the urge to smile. "Princess Zelda, this is my friend. Malon. We used to be in the same slave group…but she was sold long before me."
Malon nodded. "I was sold to a farmer in Lon Lon Ranch. He didn't really want a slave, he wanted a daughter! Right now I'm just here in town because…my…father, Talon, is here to sell milk!" She smiled happily. "It must be a great honor, Link, to be able to serve Princ-"
"Go back to ranch, farm girl!" Zelda nearly growled out the last two words.
Link and Malon again looked at Zelda, a little bit startled. And then Link thought gloomily to himself, "What did I do wrong today…"
Bwahahahahaha! Seems as if ZELDA here has gotta lil competition to put up with ;) So! Tell me watcha think :) All opinions are greatly appreciated!
