Hey everyone! Another chapter here, sorry about not updating as soon as possible, you see, I just thought up a bran new Zelda story idea, Wanna preview? Review and let me know! If everyone wants a preview then I'll write the chapter summary, but trust me, I think its gonna be reall cool.
Thanks to my latest reviewers! Eternal Flame and KRP! I loved your reviews, and to answer KRP's answer.
There are alot of people at the festival, but yes, Zelda and link do recgnize Lee, but only after he is pointed out to them, and how do they recognize him? You'll have to read to find out. However they don't recognize Kari, she doesn't look much like her mother, Saphira, Saphira has blond hair and blue eyes. While Kari has brown hair and green eyes.
There Kokiri outfits stand out a little, especially Kari, but not that much. Most people (especially girls) notice Lee because he's a total hottie, just like his father, Link. People are all wearing costumes and such too, you'll never know what you'll find in a Zelda fanfiction!
As for recognizing his name, several people in the kingdom name their son after the prince, so the name Lee isn't too unusual, most people in the story know at least one teenage boy or young boy with the name Lee, how ever there was only one teenage boy in Kakariko, and you can pretty much guess who that is! That's why all the girls in Kakariko village are always flirting with Lee and trying to get his attention! He's the only boy eligable for marriage!
let me know if anyone has any more questions, I love answering them! See ya! don't forget to read and review! Anime Wildfire
Kari had woken up to find Mae sleeping down stairs, along with Sheik, he was sitting at the table, waiting for them, so Kari made breakfast while they waited for Lee to wake up.
Half-and-hour later, Lee came downstairs, and was surprised to see Kari and Sheik talking.
"You two do plan on going to the festival, don't you?" asked Sheik, watching them.
"Of course we plan on going, I love the festival. All the fun and games and excitement!" Kari said, closing her eyes, then opening one to look as Sheik. "Why?" she asked, puzzled.
"Good." said Sheik, "cause' I signed you two up for several activities. Kari, I signed you up for an archery contest, fencing, horseback archery and one other thing."
"What other thing?" Kari asked suspiciously.
"A beauty contest." Sheik muttered with a straight face.
Kari's face turned brick red, you could see the steam come out of her ears. Mae pinned her ears back and raced out of the house, Lee backed up against a wall.
"You're joking?" Kari said,
"I signed you up for a beauty pageant." Sheik said slowly and calmly, as if he was discussing the weather.
"You did WHAT!"
Kari's face turned, if even possible, redder, her hands twitched and she looked ready to explode. Sheik turned to Lee and said.
"By the way Lee, I signed you up for Archery, fencing and horseback racing. Oh, and I signed both of you up for save-the-princess."
Kari immediately relaxed, "what's save-the-princess?" she asked,
"Oh you'll see when you get there." Sheik muttered, smirking at Kari, Kari's face turned pale this time. When Sheik smirked it usually meant ultimate humiliation, for one person, it wasn't funny, he didn't smirk often.
"You did not." Kari said, Sheik cocked his head innocently, "Didn't do what Kakari?"
Kari advanced towards him, rolling up her sleeves; Lee had to hold her arms back to keep her from smacking him silly.
Lee knew Sheik wouldn't get hurt, no one could land a hit on him, however Kari was going to be a victim, Sheik might have some nasty things in his hands.
Sheik said, "Better get ready." When he was in the doorway he turned to them, "If both of you don't get ready, I might get bored." As an after thought he added, "I wonder if there is a painting contest? Or an all you can eat contest, a tea party with the girls?"
"Don't you DARE!" Kari shrieked,
Sheik just walked off like he couldn't hear her, "I don't want to know, we'd better hurry. Who knows what he'll do?" said Lee.
Kari and Lee headed off to the Festival, it hadn't taken them long to get ready, Kari had just been looking around every corner for Sheik.
"Is he there?"
Lee sighed, "No Kar, for the last time, he's not here." Kari came from around the corner.
"Oh wait there he is!" said Lee, Kari squealed and hid behind Lee. "Just kidding!" laughed Lee; Kari smacked him on the shoulder before stomping ahead of him. Making him jog to catch up with her.
"There you are Lee and Kari!" said a voice, Kari stiffened as Sheik came up. "Come on you two, your gonna be late for the save the princess game." He took them by the shoulders and led them to a large field. A man was explaining the rules.
"Ok, we randomly select a guy to rescue a girl, who is also randomly selected, a field is then made by a spell, so it's always different. The 'hero' has to battle real monsters, such as large bugs and stuff like that. The 'princess' is then tied up somewhere on the field, the object of the game is for the 'hero' to rescue the 'princess'. The hero also has to face puzzles, monsters and traps; don't worry about getting injured; we have potions here. Now it's time for the drawing! Will all the girls who signed up stand over here, boys, you stand opposite." around twenty girls including Kari, went to the left, only about five boys stood on the right.
The man reached inside a pink goblet and said. "The princess is... Miss Kakari!" he looked over by all the girls, no one appeared, suddenly Sheik walked through the girls, pulling a beautiful young girl by her elbow, making all the guys whistle.
Kari glared at them, before turning away, immediately ten more boys raced over to the man.
"We want to compete too, so sign us up!" they said, glancing at Kari. The man took their entrees and shook the goblet.
"Ok, our hero is..." the man read the paper and glanced at Sheik, a smirk on his face, Sheik grinned back.
"Nice to see you again." the man said to Sheik.
"New additions here, huh?" said Sheik.
"Yes, thank you for getting more boys to sign up." Sheik turned to the boys, "good luck to all of you, you'll need it. Especially since one of you will be rescuing Kari."
The man held up the piece of paper he had drawn.
"An our Hero is... Lee!"
Lee slowly pushed his way through; when all the girls saw him they all sighed and started whispering to themselves.
"Oh and one last thing, if the hero fails, a new hero is picked." said the man.
"Sheik? You'll pick a place at random and tie her ladyship there, be gentle she is our princess, and a beauty as well." All the guys whistled in agreement.
Sheik took Kari's arm and picked a place, he just happened to pick the castle. Sheik watched Lee's face as he saw what monsters he was going to have to face in order to save Kari. This was going to be soooo much fun.
Sheik took Kari behind the castle theme and tied her up so that she was tied around the waist. He then picked her up and tied her from a beam hanging at the top of the tower in the castle.
After Sheik tied her up, he used a Duku nut to appear in front of Link and Zelda.
"Ready for your favorite sport Zelda?" Link said, Zelda rolled her eyes at him and watched.
(A magical screen had been made so everyone at the festival could see what was going on.)
The man handed a sword and a shield to Lee, "get ready young man." he said, the gate opened and Lee stepped out onto the field.
The door closed behind Lee, there would be no escaping. As Lee began fighting a monster, Sheik waved at Kari.
"Having fun up there Kari!" he shouted, everyone stopped to watch,
"Shut up!" shouted Kari, kicking her legs, "you had better run Sheik! Cause when I get down from here I am going to kill you!" Sheik grinned as he watched Kari struggle.
Kari used her legs to push off against the wall and swing back and forth, she struggled frantically to break the rope.
"Won't work will it Kakari?" Sheik shouted up to her, Kari gave him and ice-cold glare that made him shiver, Sheik turned to Zelda.
"Link? Zelda? Have you two taken a closer look at the hero of the game?" Sheik inquired. Link and Zelda leaned closer and looked. Zelda suddenly gasped.
"No way! It couldn't be! Sheik! How could you?" she asked. Sheik grinned, "quite easily. Easier than expected actually, you have to admit, he's quite good." Sheik said as Lee destroyed a monster twice his size.
"Just like his father." said Zelda, grinning at Link, Link grinned back and continued watching his son.
"My goodness, he looks just like you." Zelda whispered.
"He's just as good too." Sheik muttered,
"Good thing he inherited your brains." Link muttered to Zelda as Lee easily solved another puzzle.
Lee was easily making is way through the castle, finally, he made it to Kari, who was still hanging in the tower, looking not quite too happy. Lee cut the rope with his sword and caught her.
She still had her hands tied behind her back, curtsey of Sheik, Lee quickly set her down, and tried to cut the ropes holding her arms. They would not cut,
"Sheik I am gonna kill you!" Kari screamed
Sheik said, "Why are you blaming me?"
Kari said, "I know you put a spell on this rope so I couldn't untie myself! But why did you put it so that NO ONE could untie me!"
"Simple, I value my life." Sheik replied,
"You are SOO DEAD!" Kari screamed
Sheik said, "Mind telling how you plan to do that without hands?"
"Who said I was gonna use my hands to kill you?" Kari shouted "I do have feet ya know!" she said as Lee continued to try and cut her hands. Kari rolled her eyes, suddenly; she spotted something.
"Hey Lee, go get my bow." she said, Lee looked up, "Where's your bow at?"
"Over by that rock." said Kari, pointing with her head. Lee found her bow and was instructed to use one of the arrows to break the rope.
"Finally!" said Kari, stretching; she picked up her bow. "Lee, let me have that rope and one of my arrows." Lee handed Kari one of the arrows and a rope. He kept the other monsters busy while Kari tied the arrow to the rope.
"Get ready Lee!" she said, she took aim and shot the arrow, it struck right above the door. Lee stopped fighting the monsters, and he and Kari grabbed onto the rope and swung down to the door.
"Wow, that's the fastest time I've ever seen anybody complete that," said the man
Kari looked up to where Sheik was; He was nowhere to be found.
Kari sighed, she'd get him later.
Everyone at the festival was cheering, the man pulled Kari and Lee up on a platform, "say hello to today's save the princess champions!"
The crowd cheered for Lee and Kari, even Princess Zelda and Prince Link cheered.
Kari and Lee managed to escape the crowd as they headed to there next activities. Kari had archery, she did amazing, and even Link and Zelda were amazed.
Next Lee had archery, Zelda and Link watched him with interest as Lee hit target after target, coming in first place.
Next was the beauty pageant, they made all the girls wear dresses and walk around on stage, Kari did it, except she was the only girl who did it without a smile. Lee and Sheik sat in the front row and watched, Prince Link and Princess Zelda watched from the stage nearby.
"Do you think that girl that Lee is with could be Kakari?" Zelda asked, watching Kari.
"It's possible." Replied Link, still watching the pageant.
"That is Kakari. And I've got the bumps to prove it." Said a voice. Link and Zelda turned around to see Sheik. Sheik stood next to Zelda.
"That is Kakari, or Kari, as she likes to be called, little does Lee know it, but his heart belongs to Kari." Said Sheik before he disappeared using a Duku nut.
"Thank you ladies an gentleman!" said the announcer. "It is now time to announce the winner of the Hyrule beauty contest!" the crowd cheered.
The man opened the envelope.
"The second runner up is… Miss Cali!" a young girl stepped onto the platform, standing on the third place spot.
"And our second runner up is… Miss Iza!" Iza stepped forward onto the second place platform, a frown on her face.
At least Kari won't beat second place. She thought smugly, and Lee will pay attention to me, instead of that girl.
"And our miss Hyrule champion… Miss Kakari!" Kari's face turned pale. She stood rooted on the spot, and one of the girls had to push her forward.
Kari slowly took her place on the platform, smiling weakly, the crowd was cheering and all the boys were throwing flowers on the stage and whistling.
Kari was still smiling weakly as a tiara was placed on her head and a sash was out on her saying Miss Hyrule.
Lee and Sheik were cheering right in front of Kari. Kari looked down at them and threw a look at Sheik that said.
You are so dead.
Next to her, Iza was bristling.
How could that little snit beat me in a beauty pageant? She looked down and saw her mother looking at her, a look of sympathy on her face.
Valentine's gaze turned to Kari, and a look of hatred appeared on her face.
Kari looked to her left and saw Iza glaring at her with pure hatred. Kari smiled weakly and turned away.
Great, now this stupid pageant has caused even more hatred between us. She thought.
The crowd was still cheering, even Link and Zelda were cheering. Lots of boys rushed up to the stage to help the girls off, although a large number of them seemed to want to help Kari more than the others.
Kari stood in disbelief at the number of boys standing next to the stage, all wanting to escort her off.
Kari just stood there until she saw Lee approach the stage.
Lee offered her his hand and she took it. Letting him lead her down the steps and over to where she was going to receive the trophy from Link and Zelda.
"Well done young lady." Said Link, he led her over to where Zelda was standing with the trophy.
"You did wonderful Miss Kakari." Said Zelda, she handed Kari the trophy and smiled at her.
Lee was standing behind her at the steps of the stage.
"Sheik! I am so gonna kill you!" screamed Kari, it was after the pageant, and Kari had been chasing Sheik around for an hour, as she chased him around the stage, her tiara fell off.
Lee rolled his eyes and picked it up, stopping Kari as she raced around the stage again.
"Give it up Kari, you can catch him later." Said Lee, he handed her the tiara. It was beautiful, with diamonds surrounding a beautiful emerald, Her favorite jewel.
Kari took the crown from him and turned it over in her hand for a minute, letting out a sigh, she sat down on the stage steps.
Lee sat next to her.
"Kari? What's the matter?" he asked her.
Kari looked up. "It's this stupid tiara. I never wanted it; why would anyone want to be in a beauty pageant anyway?
Lee watched her for a minute before replying.
"Don't ask me, I'm not a girl." He said.
"Maybe I should just throw this stupid tiara away." She said, looking at the tiara.
"No way. You should keep it, you look great with it on." He said, taking the tiara and placing it on her head.
Kari looked up at him and smiled, making him blush.
"Thanks Lee." She said; she hugged him. Making him blush again.
Kari let go as they announced fencing as the next activity.
"Yikes! You had better get going! Fencing is next." Said Kari, she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the arena.
The announcer announced Lee's opponent. Kari let out a squeal and hid behind Lee.
"That boy has been following me around all day, he won't leave me alone. If you fail to beat him I will seriously kill you…" said Kari, Lee looked over his shoulder.
"Do you really think I would lose to a dork like him?" teased Lee. Kari frowned at him.
"Just get out there." Kari said; she shoved him out there as the announcer called Lee's name.
Lee took the sword and shield he was offered and faced the other boy.
"When I beat you, that little friend of yours will be mine." The other boy said; Lee just rolled his eyes.
"There's just one problem with that plan." Said Lee, "you can't beat me." The other boy bristled and tightened his grip on the sword.
The man waved his flag, and Lee and the other boy started fencing. While Kari watched anxiously from the side as Lee and the boy faced off.
Link and Zelda watched as Lee fought the young boy.
"He's good." Said Zelda,
"He should be; he and Kakari have been practicing sword play together since they could hold a sword." Said Sheik from behind Zelda.
"So you were watching him all that time in Kokiri forest." Teased Zelda. Sheik refused to reply.
Finally after twenty minutes of fighting, both Lee and the boy were exhausted. Eventually Lee managed to pin the boy down.
"Lee wins!" shouted the announcer, the crowd cheered.
"Great job Lee!" shouted Kari from the side.
She waved at him. Lee grinned in her direction, unfortunately, all the girls around Kari were talking about him and when he grinned at Kari they all squealed and started fighting over whom he had grinned at.
Kari just rolled her eyes and propped her cheek on her hand.
Some girls can get soo love struck. She thought.
Lee tried to duck out of the arena, but was instantly surrounded by girls.
He saw Kari by the fence, and tried to talk to her, but too many girls blocked his way.
Kari had stopped leaning in the fence and had headed over to where her next activity was.
"Fencing for girls?" Kari muttered; she was standing next to an arena not to far from the boy's fencing.
Kari took a deep breath and walked into the circle as her name was called.
Many people started cheering as she entered the ring.
Luckily, she was wearing her green Kokiri outfit instead of a dress. She took the sword that was offered to her and faced her opponent, a red haired girl with freckles.
The girl examined Kari from her Kokiri boots all the way to her long brown hair.
"I'm gonna beat you easily." She said; Kari raised an eyebrow.
"Appearances can be deceiving." Was all she said.
And with that the two girls engaged in sword fighting, Kari and the other girl slashing at each other and blocked or dodging each other.
Right after they started, Lee showed up, he had managed to escape the girls long enough to watch Kari sword fight.
"Come on Kari!" he shouted, Kari glanced in his direction for a moment, before continuing her fight.
The girl suddenly threw her sword, Kari dodged it and it landed right next to her. Kari started making away but suddenly tripped by one of the girls in the stands.
The other girl grabbed her sword and held it up to Kari's face.
"I win." She said smugly. Kari just smiled.
"You'd think that wouldn't you?" she said, the girl frowned, and Kari saw a moment where she dropped her guard.
Quickly she tripped the girl and did a back flip up, the girl threw her sword up and fell. Kari stood next to her and caught her sword.
The she pointed both swords at the girl.
"I win." She said simply, and the crowd went wild, Kari simply pulled both swords back and headed for the exit.
"Great job Kari!" Lee shouted; Kari smiled at him before trying to exit. But a man held her back and pushed her into the center of the ring.
"The champion! Miss Kari!"
Lee ran up to her, "That was stunning!"
The girls in the crowd glowered; Lee remembered something Sheik had told him. Lee turned around to the girls and smiled.
All the girls fainted and Kari said, "Now let's get out of here!"
As they dashed off, Sheik turned to his left, Mae was there holding another bucket, Sheik patted her on the head, "Good girl, we make a great team. I could not have pulled it off if not for you. I would not want to wash that punch out." Mae snickered; Sheik looked at her, and smiled wickedly,
"You put dye in there didn't you. Brilliant idea! Wish I had thought of it."
Mae held out her right paw, Sheik shook it. Then used a Duku nut to tie up loose ends.
Mae quietly waited for the festival to empty, then made her way out, she heard yelling, and looked over the fence.
"My dress it's ruined!"
"Ohhhh, that girl will pay!"
"She was up on stage! She couldn't have done that!" said Sloan. Both mother and daughter started to yell at him.
Mae thought one more prank wouldn't hurt, she went behind Valentina and growled; you never saw a human move so fast. Sloan stood there, Mae grinned at him and walked off. Pleased with herself.
"I… think… we… Lost um'." Kari muttered, leaning over to let her lungs rest. Lee stopped beside her.
"Yeah, I think we did lose um'."
"Let's go home." Kari said, standing straight, she grabbed Lee's arm.
"Com' on slow poke." She teased. Pulling on his arm.
He stood up straight and allowed himself to be pulled towards the corral where Mae and Comet were waiting.
