A/N: Little confused with the pairings? Let's look at some facts. In this story, Malon has a big chest. We can infer Vincent likes big boobs from the dream. If you played the respective games, you'll know that Tifa, Kasumi, and Lara all have a big rack. In fact, I'm confirming it; Vincent likes large assets on a girl. So that pairing shouldn't be all too hard to figure out.
Last Days of Summer
Link skated around in a circle and then came to a stop. Sheik was clapping and Vincent was giving a thumbs-up. Darunia looked a little disappointed that Link didn't fall.
"Took you most of the summer, but I think your really good at skateboarding," Sheik said. "Almost as good as me, almost."
Darunia kicked up some dirt, I miss the time when you fall on your ass and we all laugh."
"Good times," Vincent added.
Link stuck the middle finger at them, "You both suck." Link turned over to Sheik, "So Sheik, what time is the party?"
"Technically, around seven but whose gonna come around then? It doesn't matter cause it'll last till the next day," Sheik replied. "You dudes coming?"
"Anywhere with girls I'll go," Link said, kicking up the skateboard.
"You better got food," Darunia said.
"And soda," Vincent said.
"You know I have to have those things. Another thing, you dudes aren't some drunks right? I'm totally opposed to beer," Sheik said.
"Me too," Darunia said. "Can't stand the taste."
"Yeah, I hate it too," Link said.
Vincent remained quiet for a moment. He looked down at the ground, "No beer…good." He looked at his friends, "I…need to use your bathroom Sheik."
"Just go inside and ask my pops where it is," Sheik said, a little puzzled at the sudden change.
Vincent left them and entered the house. Sheik and Darunia both turned to Link. They're faces told Link they wanted answers.
"What was that?" Sheik asked.
"Um, kind of a touchy thing, Sheik, your doing good not having beer. You see, Vincent lost his mom because of a drunk driver," Link explained. "He doesn't like even seeing the sight of any alcoholic beverage. He won't allow anyone to drink at all, not his dad, not my mom, no one."
"That kind of thing really changes people," Darunia said.
"Vincent is going to be ok. Just that any mention of beer kind of makes him depressed for a few minutes. He'll never really shake it off."
Vincent came back out, "Think we should tell Malon and Zelda about the party?"
"They're going to find out anyways. With Malon's boyfriend invited and all the noise, they'll know. Trust me," Link said.
"Yeah, your right. Guess I was just kidding myself," Vincent said.
"Just think…in about two more weeks, school will start," Link said.
"Yeah, it's depressing but its something we all go through…" Darunia said.
"But, this is our first time attending a school," Link said. "I wonder if we'll fit in."
"Link, its nearly impossible not to fit in with some crowd. If you mean the 'in' crowd, then you really have no problem. You're taking this a little to serious Link," Sheik responded. "Your probably the most 'in' out of all of us."
"What about Darunia?" Link asked. "He doesn't seem like an outcast."
Darunia coughed a little, "Um, believe it or not, Sheik has a point. It's just that I really have an obsession about our planet. Just don't like pollution and, well I've been knocked down a few steps on the social latter."
"Captain Planet, he's a hero," Vincent started singing.
"I'll knock you out Vincent," Darunia threatened.
"Fine, fine. Link, want to get ready before the party starts? You smell horrible man," Vincent suggested.
"That sounds like a good plan," Link said, sniffing his armpits. "Let's roll."
Link and Vincent bid farewell to their friends and walked back home. Link could still sense that his brother was still a little shaken up. Poor him, maybe not knowing one's parent is better compared to the pain Vincent's goes through.
Link walked into the house first and noticed how no one was downstairs. Vincent came in after him and shut the door. Ms. Harkinian was at work again, so the girls were obviously in one place.
"Bet you wont go up there," Link said to Vincent.
"Pervert," Vincent said, plopping down on the couch. "I'm not going to get my ass bitch slapped. Just to make things clearer, I meant the slap meant for a bitch and not me being slapped by a bitch. Cause Zelda and Malon aren't those type."
"They're taking a shower though," Link said.
"I still fail to see what are you getting at," Vincent said. "Stop being so damn stupid and sit down and watch some Trigun."
"Your right," Link sat down next to Vincent. "I hope they hurry though, I need to take a shower."
"No need to tell me," Vincent said. "Sometimes I wish you'd be a little less active. At least you wouldn't smell as bad. How many sports you played back home? There was tennis...golf…polo…Let me stop now."
"Hey guys," Zelda said as she came down the stairs.
"Zelda! Your out, what about Malon?" Link asked.
"The shower? Yeah we're done," she sat down between Link and Vincent. "Right, you need to go up there now, you kind of smell."
"That's why I want to take a shower," Link said, getting up from the couch. He made for the stairs and ran up.
"What were you two doing?" Zelda asked.
Vincent muted the television, "Same thing we've been doing, hanging out with Darunia and Sheik. This then turns into a two-hour skating lesson for Link. Then, this usually turns into a two-hour laughing session." Vincent sighed, "I take your going to the party?"
"Of course, why shouldn't I?" Zelda asked.
"Not saying you shouldn't. Sheik is a good guy and I'm sure the party will be responsible and fun. Just want to know how you found out."
"Seth, he was invited you know. You can't keep things like that secret forever Vincent."
Vincent smirked, "I can try."
Link jumped into the shower and let the steaming hot water run down his chiseled body. A smile spread over his face. He took the loofa and grabbed the soap. He scrubbed himself and gave a small chuckle.
He got out of the shower and wrapped himself with a towel. Link looked at himself in the mirror, "Oh yeah, I'm sexy. Gonna get a girl today. Hmm, I really haven't since I moved here. Something is off with me."
Vincent lay upside down on the couch. His eyes were focused on the 5'o clock news, but his mind was somewhere else.
"Vincent?" Malon's voice asked from behind him.
Startled, he jerked a bit and almost fell onto the coffee table. Setting himself upright, he turned his head over to Malon, "Yeah?"
"You are going to the party right?" she asked.
"Yeah," Vincent replied.
"Then get ready," she commanded.
"Why are you in a rush? It doesn't officially start until two more hours. On top of that, you can always leave without me. Its right there, and I'm watching something about identity thieves or something."
"I still want to go together," Malon whined.
"I encourage that way too much," he said as he got up from the couch and walked toward the stairs.
Malon smiled triumph sly.
"You two are way too happy with each other," Zelda said, coming from the kitchen.
"And what are you getting at?" Malon asked.
"Just wondering why you have a boyfriend when you got one right at home," Zelda said.
"What? Your, I refuse to address that as something that has been said."
"Suit yourself," Zelda said with a smile.
( . ) -----------\
Link was out of breath and beads of sweat came down his forehead. He lost track of time but he could careless. Right now, he was having too much fun. As soon as he and his housemates arrived, someone had the bright idea to start a dance off.
Link, being Link, would never back down from any contest. It also helped that he was a good dancer himself. Hours of spending time in front of MTV and a fit body gave him a nice edge over most of the competition.
That is, until she came. Wearing a slinky blue dress, she smiled as she approached the circle. She combed back a lock of her red hair that fell into her eyes. Another song started and so did her and Link.
Coming close to each other, Link shouted over the music, "Your good. Almost as good as me, what's your name beautiful?"
"I should say the same sexy. My name is Marin, and yours?"
"Link."
Vincent stood outside and stared into the moon. He took a sip of the soda in his hands. He smirked a little, "I'm glad that they invented you Coca-Cola. You've been with me since ever."
"The sky looks lovely, doesn't it?" came a female voice from the right side of Vincent.
Vincent smiled, "Yeah it is."
"And I thought I was the only who still did this," she said.
"My brother thinks its weird, but he sucks anyways," Vincent replied.
"I never seen you around here. Trust me, I practically know everyone."
"Like Sheik, yeah, I just moved here," Vincent took another sip of his coke.
"Why do you stare at it? The moon, sky, whatever…"
"Tell you the truth, I find it very calming. Although I'm an optimistic guy, darkness soothes me. The moon is also still mysterious. I'm always a little curious."
"And I thought guys like you were long gone."
Vincent chuckled; he turned his head to see a marvelous beauty next to him. A gorgeous body and stunning face, yet as innocent as an angel, she somehow wasn't like most girls Vincent met. Dark, raven like hair and violet eyes, she was way to good to be real.
Vincent gulped, he then thought about what made him, him, never amiable or easily sidetracked. Regaining his composure, "Why are you staring into the sky…. um…never caught your name."
"Its Lillian," she said. "Stars and the moon are considered a portal into the future. I figure that my destiny might be written up there… name."
"Vincent."
"Guess I see you in school, right?" she asked.
"Yeah…"
She went over to him and kissed him on the cheek, "Mere moments can fill up life times, right Vincent? I'll see you."
Lillian walked away. Vincent found himself a little love struck but shook it off.
"Who was that?" asked Zelda as she came from inside.
"Lillian, a girl I just met."
"Just met? Wow, I say you work faster than Link," she commented.
"Ha ha, what time is it?" Vincent asked.
"Still a bit early, why?" Zelda asked.
Vincent drank the rest of the soda, "Tell Sheik 'nice party' will you? I'm going back home. Its almost time for Ghost in the Shell."
Zelda chuckled at Vincent. He never will change. That's probably a good thing, looking at it another way. Vincent left and Zelda went back inside to see more of the party.
Link was still in the dance off with that girl and Malon was in the corner with Seth all over her. Teenager parties will never change.
"What happened to Vincent?" Sheik asked, walking up to her from the crowd.
"He left, he says he had a nice time."
"Oh, that's too bad. He should've stayed a bit longer. What about you? Want to dance?"
Zelda had to admit; his red eyes were just a tad more welcoming than Vincent's, "Sure."
A/N: Oh no, what have I done? I introduced two other girls that could quite possibly interfere with everyone's ideal couples. Wait a minute; the Vincent and Malon ship has already been sunk. Seth the Iceberg did that and Link and Zelda, come on…that's been done.
Aren't I evil?
