A/N: Hey y'all, Hawkpath here with an update! I would like to thank everybody who has reviewed my story. It means a lot.

DoctorZelda: Thank you! I am so glad you like my writing style. To be honest, sometimes I feel like I make things happen too fast. I will be sure to check out your stories.

Zeltra: Thank you for reviewing! I know my spelling in the first chapter was spotty, I didn't proofread very well. And Link is a junior, not a senior. There is only a one year difference between them.

Anyway...let's get on with the story!

The humming of Shiek's car under my feet was almost as quick as the humming of my mind. Ever since I left Telma's, I had been delirious with glee. I felt complete with Malon back in the group, it was just right. We had spent an hour at the coffee house, just catching up with each other, and we found, that our whole group dynamic was still intact. We still worked off of each other, making witty quips, sometimes at our own expense. It was just like it should be, and we couldn't be happier.

Malon was still sad about Link, but it was better now that she knew she could come to us for help. She told us that she was going to break up with Link on Monday when she saw him at school again. She said that she needed Sunday to cool down before seeing him again.

Sheik pulled up in our driveway, and we got out.

"Thanks Sheik." I said. He nodded and unlocked the door. We went inside, and I spent the rest of the day finishing off the piano part for a song that I wrote. Writing down the last notes on the blank sheet of sheet music, I stepped away from my piano, and walked to my room. It was getting late, and I had nothing better do, so I got into my pajamas and into bed. The last thing I remember is letting letting out a completely content sigh before sleep closed in.

Midna and I walked hand in hand to the music hall at school. It was Monday after school, and the cast list for Hello Dolly had just been posted by Mr. Tingle. Midna and I were going to see if we got the parts we wanted, and we had made a pact to look for each other's names, and then tell each other what part the other had gotten.

There was a large crowd in front of the newly posted list, so we waited. My heart started pounding in my throat and behind my eyes. That damn tingly feeling in my stomach returned, and just when I felt like I couldn't handle the suspense anymore, Midna pulls me forward, through an opening in the crowd, and directly in front of the list.

"You go first." Midna breathed. I took a shuddering breath, and opened my eyes to look at the list. I dared not look for my own name, and focused on my best friend's. My eyes finally find her name next to Irene. A wide grin spread on my face.

"Congratulations...Irene." I whispered into her ear. She grinned widely, showing her fanged canines. Her amber eyes glistened with joy.

"Really?" She questioned. I nodded. She gave a little bounce of happiness before she composed herself. "Alright, now you close your eyes." Midna instructed me. I stood there in darkness for what seemed like hours, before she finally spoke to me. "Well, Dolly, I guess things turned out well for both of us."

My eyes fluttered open, and I found my own name next to Dolly Levi. I grinned so widely, my face hurt. Midna and I squealed and jumped up and down, hugging each other.

"I can't believe it!" I exclaimed. "We did it!" After a few more minutes of happy dancing around, we went back outside of the music hall to meet up with Saria and Malon.

"How'd it go guys?" Malon asked excitedly. Midna and I looked at each other and smiled at the green and redhead.

"I'm Dolly, and Midna's Irene." I squealed them. They smiled and pulled us into a huge group hug.

"Aww, well isn't that touching?" A sultry, sarcastic voice sounded from behind us. We all collectively sighed. It was Veran. Her beautiful figure, and affinity for shunning the lower social class, made her quite a typical mean girl. "Mal, might I ask you what you are doing with these gals? I mean, they aren't exactly what I would call "popular"."

Malon broke the hug and stood in front of the turquoise skinned teen with her hand on one hip. Appearing very confident around her former friend.

"For your information, Veran, these girls are my best friends, and I would appreciate it if you left them alone." Veran rolled her eyes.

"What ever floats your boat, Mally. Just think about what you're giving up though." she said, turning away. Before she left campus, she turned halfway around, saying: "And I heard that you broke up with good ol' Link. That's a shame. But it means that there's more of him for me." she walked away, swaying her hips.

"Bitch." Malon muttered under her breath. She walked back to us, her fists clenched in anger. If steam could come out of her ears, it would have been. "I can't believe I was friends with that witch." She grumbled.

I rested my hand on her shoulder, giving her a sympathetic gaze.

"Anyway." Said Malon, shaking her head as if to wave off the encounter. "You guys got your parts! This is most definitely cause for celebration. Waddaya say? Wanna get some frozen yogurt?" We nodded and proceeded to walk across to the yogurt shop across the street from Hyrule High.

We ordered our yogurt, and sat down. We spent a half hour at the shop, finishing off our yogurt. When we were done, I turned to Midna and Saria.

"Hey guys, we need to start our arrangement of Happy. Wanna come to my house and practice? Mal, you can come too. We could use a critic." Malon grinned widely and nodded frantically. "Oh! I exclaimed, my eyes widening. "I had a really good idea!"

"What?" Saria asked, her interest peaked.

"Instead of Happy, I found a really good arrangement of Blackbird by the Beatles. It is three part harmony, but the melody is split up equally, so we would all have a chance to shine."

Midna and Saria exchanged a glance.

"I'm down." Midna confirmed.

"Me too. I've always loved that song." Saria agreed.

"Great!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands together. "Let's go." Saria and Malon took their own cars to my house, and I hitched a ride with Midna. We got to my house, and I led them inside.

"Shiek, I'm home! Saria, Midna, and Malon are with me!"

"'Kay!" I heard his muffled voice from his room. I led the three girls to my piano, where the sheet music for the arrangement of Blackbird was. I rummaged through the various sheets of music until I found what I was looking for.

"Here." I stated, handing Saria the music, while Midna craned her neck to see the music.

"This looks really good!" Saria enthused. Midna nodded in agreement.

"Great. Then I think we should get started." I said, sitting down in front of my piano. "Alright, so Midna is our Alto, so it think you should take the lowest part." Midna nodded. "But I don't know about the middle and the top part. Cuz, I have the higher voice, but I can hold the middle harmonies better." Saria stood, leaning on the piano, looking at the music.

"I think I can handle the middle part." She assured.

"Good. Let's start. Midna you have the low beat, and Saria, you have the off beat." We proceeded to figure out our parts, and then tried them together. We got through about half of the song, when we took a break. "I feel really good about this, guys." I told them.

"It sounds good, that's for sure." Malon inserted from the kitchen, where she was getting herself a glass of water.

"Thanks Mal!" I beamed as she came back into the living room. She sat on the couch, sipping her water and looking at her watch.

"I should probably go soon. Dad'll be worried."

"I should go, too." Saria stated.

"Me three." Midna agreed. They stood up and walked out my door. I sighed contentedly as I leaned back against the couch. Everything seemed to be working out. I had one of my best friends back, and I got the lead role in my school play as a sophmore.

The only problem is that I can't seem to forget the feel on Link's lips on my own.
