Chapter Fifteen
"Link," Pit said, in almost a whisper, "there's something you should know."
Link looked up from sparring with Roy and Marth. The others looked questionably at him as well. Samus, who was sitting off to the side reading, gave Pit her attention.
"It's about Zelda," Pit continued. He paused. "I don't know if you want the others to hear."
"Just us five, then. It's alright." Link walked over. "Let's go to the garden."
The five teens slipped out the door from the training arena into the cool night air. The moon, now a sleek crescent like Pit's own bow, shone dimly on them as they gathered under an elm tree a distance away from the Smash Mansion.
"What's going on?" Link asked finally.
"I bumped into Zelda when I walked out of the dining room," Pit said, his voice low. "I believe she came from the Commuincation Room. She was fired up and angry when I asked if she was well. She snapped at me, and when I talked back, mentioning you…" Pit paused, not meaning to increase the suspense(though he did), "and…she said…she said she…she hated you…"
Link was silent. "Are you sure? She may be…mad…over something…but what?"
"I flew after her, and asked her how she could say such a thing," Pit replied. "She just screamed at me some more and ran into her room."
The others stared in shock. Samus moved first. "I'm going to talk to her. Let me get my suit on…she might try to use some magic on me in case she gets really angry. Plus I'll need it to break down her door if she won't open it." This made Roy chuckle.
"No," Link said.
"What?" asked Samus.
"No," repeated Link. "Don't force her to take your sympathy. She's…confused…let's just let her sort her thoughts…she talked to someone…I don't know who, but…" Link's eyes lit up. "Malon…" he whispered.
The others barely heard what he had just said. "What?"
"I'll be back!" Link cried, running into the mansion.
"What do we do in the meantime?" Roy yawned, sleep coming over him quickly.
"I don't know what we should do," Pit sighed. "I'm worried for those two."
"Who wouldn't be?" Marth said, yawning as well.
"Oh Marth!" Young Link said in a sing song voice at the training arena door. "You left your room unlocked again!"
"Oh damn!" Marth cried, running towards the young Kokiri. "They probably took my stuff! Roy! Help me!"
Roy stood right where he was in confusion. "But Link said—"
"Roy!"
"Coming!" Roy shouted, drawing his sword and running after the Altean.
Samus and Pit stared at each other for a moment.
"Should we wait for Link, then?" Samus asked.
"I guess." Pit shrugged, sitting down on the damp grass. It never crossed his mind to go inside the mansion to wait. Samus didn't say anything either. Maybe it was because they were alone, just the two of them, and the crescent moon did look strangely romantic for a crescent moon—wait, romantic?
Pit stared into the starry sky.
"Pit," Samus said, "do you have family?"
Pit looked down. "No," he whispered. "I've always wondered what it was like to have parents, or siblings, rather. Angels don't have family, just close friends. It's quite strange."
Samus couldn't help feeling sorry for the angel. Then again, she had no family either. She smoothed out her hair, something she did when she was nervous. Pit, however, never paid attention to her habits and what they meant, so he paid her no attention.
"You think Zelda and Link will get things straightened out?" Samus asked, to make conversation.
"I can't say. I just hope so," Pit sighed.
Pit was glad it was too dark for Samus to see his face turn red when she took his hand and squeezed it gently.
"Malon, Owner of the Lon Lon Ranch and Tamer of Horses, Hyrule, Lon Lon Ranch," Link said into the computer. He hoped Impa was still at the ranch—luckily, she was.
"Link?" Impa said. "Does Zelda know you're talking to us?"
Link was silent. So Zelda had talked to Malon.
"Sorry, Impa, but I'm going to have to ask for Malon," Link requested.
Impa sighed, muttering, "Everyone wants Malon," as she stepped back to let Malon see Link.
"Link!" Malon cried.
"I've come to ask you something," Link spoke.
Malon said, "What is it?"
Link took a breathe. "Zelda talked to you earlier, didn't she?"
"Yes."
"And what did she say?"
Malon was silent for a moment, hesitating to tell him. "She told me to stay away from you because she thinks you have feelings for me. She called me a 'farmgirl', as well."
Now it was Link's turn to be silent; he was surprised that Zelda could do such a thing.
"How could she?" Link said aloud.
Malon shook her head sadly. "I love you as a brother, Link. Never romantically."
"Likewise," returned Link. "I mean, as a sister, not a brother."
A smile tugged at Malon's lips for a split second. Then she grew serious.
"Zelda must understand that. But doesn't she realize she can't do anything? I know you care for her, but you two will never be together—if you don't mind me saying—so it's no use in getting so mad and fighting for you. She doesn't need to fight me! She's already won you," Malon sighed.
"But she doesn't know it," Link observed. "Or she doesn't believe it."
"True," Malon looked down.
Both were silent. Link put his head in his hands. How could he stay with Zelda, the girl he loved? If he stayed with Malon, who knew what Zelda may do out of anger. But then again, how could she do anything if she never saw either of them? She just had to know there was nothing going on between them. Link told all this to Malon. Malon only agreed sadly, saying she would pray to the Goddesses that this would end well, and suggested he go talk to Zelda. With that, Link turned everything off and headed upstairs.
"Zelda?" he called, knocking on her door.
No answer.
"Please open the door. We need to talk," Link said firmly.
There was no reply.
Link tried the knob, and was surprised to find it unlocked. He assumed she had been too caught up in the moment and her anger to lock it. He let himself in, shutting the door. The lights were off, and the French doors were open, a slight breeze weaving its way in. The dim moonlight lit the room, revealing that Zelda was not there.
Link approached the balcony, peering outside. He gasped; sitting up on the roof with her legs dangling off the roof, was Sheik.
"Sheik," Link breathed.
Sheik only looked down at him for a short second. He kept gazing at the sky. "Hello." His voice was slightly muffled.
"Why did…?"
"I am calm when I am Sheik. I don't want to feel angry now. I just want to think," Sheik answered.
Link stepped onto the balustrade and pulled himself up next to him.
"Why are you acting this way?" Link asked.
"You love Malon," Sheik said simply.Link stared into the sky as well, then answered.
"Know this," Link replied. "Malon cares for me, like the sister I never had. She teaches me, like the mother I never had. But I don't love her. And she doesn't love me. Don't you know that Malon fancies that boy in Hyrule Castle Town who sells the potions?"
It was Sheik's turn to be silent.
"Why do you assume the silliest things? All you had to do was ask if we were together, or hint it in some way," Link said sternly. "You know I love Zelda."
Sheik stared at Link. "I have your assurance. But not Malon's."
"You don't trust my words?"
"You are not Malon."
"She must have told you. She respects you and would hate for you to believe this misunderstanding."
"I'm tired," was all Sheik said after a long pause. "I'd like to turn in."
Link stared hard at Sheik. Link knew he was trying to avoid admiting that Malon didn't love him. Not knowing why he would bother disagreeing, Link jumped down onto the balcony and left Zelda's room, ending the short conversation.
Link went outside to find Samus resting her head on Pit's shoulder, dozing. Pit was alert and awake when Link walked up, but he jumped to his feet, causing Samus to wake up fully.
"Where's—" Link started.
Both answered quickly, "The littluns took Marth's stuff so he and Roy went to chase them."
"Did you plan that so you two could be alone?"
"God, no!" Samus cried, turning red, but the dark concealed it. "I fell asleep…and my head fell on his shoulder…"
"But you didn't bother to wake her up?" Link said, grinning at Pit.
"Well, she was tired…"
"How can you fall asleep holding hands?" snickered Link.
"You make another assumption and I'm going to whiplash your damn head off!" Samus took a threatening step forward, drawing her whip from her side.
"Okay, okay, sorry," laughed Link. "You two are so cute together, is all."
"We are not!" both Pit and Samus shouted.
They were lucky Link didn't see them turn red, or else he would've kept laughing.
"Whatever you say," he grinned, sauntering into the house, his worries about Zelda forgotten for the moment.

CalderAren't hey tumbleweeds, not dustballs? xD If they were dustballs, Pit would die because he'd inhale dust and they'd inhabit his lungs…but Crazy wouldn't die because doesn't have a mouth and therefore cannot inhale dust…
I wonder how he talks.

I haven't really decided on the genre yet. So far it's Action/Adventure/Humor, but I may change it later…I don't know.
