A/N: Effective immediately, this story is no longer being taken place in Colorado Springs. That location really restricted some stuff. I mean it never was that important in the first place. Just putting that out there, so no continuity issues arise.

Gold and Red, Not Just Pokemon Games

Zelda came downstairs. The first sight she saw was both Link and Malon talking into their cell phones. It was apparent that they were talking with their good friends. She still couldn't believe that Link was already dating Marin even though they met just two nights ago. And Malon still had that chauvinist boyfriend of hers. One person was out of the picture though.

"Link! Malon!" she said to them.

They were still occupied with their conversation to pay any attention to her. Zelda sighed and stormed back upstairs. As soon she reached the top of the stairs, Zelda heard an orchestrated piece of music coming from Vincent's room. She walked closer to his opened doorway and peaked around it to see him sitting down on the burgundy-carpeted floor. A controller was in hands and a determined look was on his face. Zelda stared at the television screen to see his character fighting a man dressed in black.

"Vincent, what are you doing?" Zelda asked.

The character got caught in a combo and the screen went black. Vincent hung his head low, "You know Zelda, you and I are on good terms. Try not to talk to me when I'm fighting Sephiroth. Especially when I'm on level 45."

"Who?"

Vincent sighed, "You shouldn't know him. Sephiroth is the antagonist for the video game Final Fantasy VII. He's also a very difficult and optional boss in Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. Right now, I was trying to beat him in KH2 on level 45, while the recommended level set by the Bradygames Strategy Book says 80."

Zelda still looked lost.

"Never mind. So, what did you come in here for?" Vincent asked, getting up from the floor.

"Oh, I came in because I heard you listening to classical music. And the other two are too involved with their 'significant other'," Zelda answered.

"You mean the 'One-Winged Angel'? That plays whenever I fight Sephiroth. Cool, huh? I take it that you're really bored then. Yeah me too…"

Zelda looked around the room. She went over to Vincent's bed and sat down, "It surprises me a lot how boring this place is. I mean its only ten. Vincent, are you planning on just sitting around all day and playing video games?"

"Yes. I do this all the time. Hell, it's boring right so why shouldn't I escape into my games? Anyways Zelda, do you have anything better to do today? I'm all ears," Vincent said.

"You have a car Vincent. You are essentially free to do anything. I mean your young, rich, and handsome. There is practically nothing that is off limits to you right now. If I were you, I wouldn't even be here."

Vincent combed back his hair with his hand, "See, this is where you and I differ. I'm not like you or most other teenagers on this planet. I like staying home. First, that Escalade guzzles down gas. Second, I'm in a new place that I relatively have no idea where fun places are. Third, that Escalade guzzles down gas."

"You said that twice."

"Its twice as important to point out."

Zelda shook her head while laughing, "Your insane."

"Your point is?"

"Come on Vincent. Let's go do something," Zelda said.

Vincent went over to his laptop. Zelda stood up and stood behind him, watching him. He clicked on his User photo, right above Malon's.

"Malon has an account on your laptop?" Zelda asked as she noticed it.

"Yeah, she kept bugging me to enter my password so she could use it. I got really tired of that so I just made one for her," Vincent entered his password and it then began to load.

Zelda watched as a Tifa Lockhart wallpaper appeared and a dozen icons appeared. She watched the pointer go to the blue 'E' and double click. The browser popped up and Vincent went over to the address bar. "What are you doing?"

"I'm checking the area for any fun places. Hey, Zee, would you consider yourself artistic my any means?" Vincent asked.

"I guess so. I like to draw stuff sometimes. You know, sunrises and animals."

"Boring, but I guess you're more traditional," Vincent said. "Come on, let's go."

Vincent stood up and grabbed his keys. He walked over to the door. He nodded for Zelda to come with him and together they went down the stairs. Vincent jumped on the last step to the bottom. He looked over to his brother and shook his head. Zelda stopped behind him.

"Hey, do me a fave and start the car will you?" Vincent handed the keys to Zelda.

Zelda walked out of the house and pressed the button on the key chain to disable the alarm. She went around and got into the car. She inserted the key into the hole and turned on the car. Zelda turned on the air conditioning and looked for a good rock station to listen to.

Vincent came out of the house. He held a can of soda in his hands and walked over to the car. He got in and placed his soda in the cup holder. "Rules of the car Zee. One: You cannot smoke. Two: Do not bark in here. Three:" Vincent changed the station into an R&B station. "No touching the radio."

"You really suck," Zelda said as she put on her seatbelt.

"I love you too," Vincent said sarcastically.

Vincent pulled out of the drive way and into the street. Zelda looked away at the passing streets. After driving in silence for a while and Vincent checking his GPS, they arrived at a plaza. Vincent parked the car and got out. Zelda did the same.

"Where have you brought us Vincent?" Zelda asked, following behind him.

"You'll see," was all that he said.

After dealing with an employee, they went back to a room. On the wall was a giant canvas and all around them were buckets of paint.

"Remember when I asked you if you were artistic?" Vincent asked as the employee left.

Zelda nodded, "So you gave a subtle clue to what we're going to be doing. I hope you know that I'm not going to get my clothes messed up."

"Thought of that. We got overalls and white shirts to change into before we get our hands dirty."

"Perfect."

The two changed and stood in front of the wall. The silence between them was filled with their energetic spirits as they both grabbed a bucket of paint and threw its contents at the wall. A deep scarlet mixed with a golden yellow and more and more colors were added to the mix. The complex redhead walked to the canvassed wall and with a single finger, drew simple shapes.

Zelda laughed at his innocence. Here was a young man turning eighteen in November and he was drawing little pictures. First was what supposed to be a sun. Its happy glow came from the yellow she threw in and its warmth came from the red he threw. The came a small bird in the created lavender, he was having too much fun.

"Stop drawing all the cool stuff!" Zelda said as she too approached the wall. With her index finger, she traced a figure of a moon next to his sun.

"Pfft, try this one on," Vincent scoffed as he drew a few stars around their solar beings. "Unless you're going to start the solar system, your not beating me in an finger painting contest."

"I cannot believe how much you suck!" Zelda drew a round face with a big frown on its face.

"Alright…" Vincent took a bucket of paint. "This is the color is vermilion," Vincent declared as he stuck his finger within it and started to draw on Zelda's face.

With fiery paint on her face, Zelda was glad that it could deter from her reddening face. She grabbed a bucket, "Fine, this is lemon." She too did the same thing Vincent did to her.

Vincent sighed. He took the bucket in his hands and flung the paint inside it at Zelda. She had already anticipated Vincent's actions and quickly moved out of the way. She took her bucket and heaved the contents at Vincent. Sure enough, he sidestepped so he wouldn't get covered in yellow.

The two laughed at each other. They shared more things in common that the other two. They simply had traits that made them easier for them to get along. Of course, he was still the master gamer and she indulged in literature.

"Come on Zel, let's get cleaned up," Vincent said as he began to wipe the paint from his face. "Then we could go get lunch or something."

Zelda looked down at her watch. Time clocked away hastily since they had arrived. It was almost three and they were still at the art studio. "Alright," she said softly.

"Anyone know what happened to Zelda and Vincent?" Ms. Harkinian asked when she checked up on Link and Malon. "I know I shouldn't even bother with you two since you've been on the phone since I came back at noon."

Link sighed, "Talk toy you later." He closed his phone and looked at his guardian, "Those two aren't here?"

"You really fail as a brother," she stated cleanly. "What about you Malon? Know anything at all?"

Malon closed her phone, "No I don't. I just want to know why they didn't take me. How selfish can they be?"

Link raised his eyebrow. He then shook his head at the irony in her statement, "Miss, we could try calling them."

Ms. Harkinian shook her head, "I tried that already Link, and they just don't answer their cell phones. I wonder why they even have them if they don't plan on answering." Ms. Harkinian walked into the kitchen.

"So they left me with you. Can I get a bigger punishment?" Link muttered.

"Shut up. Your just mad cause you can never have me," Malon taunted.

Link chuckled slightly, "As if I would. It hurts me that Vincent would go out and not even tell me. What a great brother I have."

"From what I see, he probably does it on purpose. You whine too much and so far, Vincent leaves you constantly," Malon said. "He's out with Zelda though. Maybe there something between them?" Malon suggested.

"Right, Vincent and Zelda together. That's a nice one. I'll believe it when I see it. Vincent is my brother and as far as I can tell, he doesn't like a girl like Zelda. Besides, Zelda enjoys spending her time reading books. Vincent watched T.V. and playing video games. They can't get any more different."

( . ) -----------\

Vincent and Zelda waited in line to go on the roller coaster. They decided, well, Vincent made the plan to go to the amusement park over at the wharf. Frankly, it was a good decision on his part because nothings better than screaming your lungs out. The line moved at a snail's pace and Vincent was quickly becoming impatient.

"Maaan, this is taking so long. They need to build like an express line or something," Vincent whined.

Zelda laughed, "Your such a little child. Just calm down, we're nearly there anyways."

Vincent flipped open his phone to look at the time, "Seems I got a few missed calls, three from your mother and five from both Link and Malon each. Looks like they finally noticed we weren't home. Want to call your mom back?"

Zelda shook her head, "As soon as we get off the roller coaster. I know your going to go get something to eat. Again. After we get off so I'll do it then."

"Smart," Vincent said as the line moved again. They nearly got onto the roller coaster but eh carnie stopped the line at them. "What the f-"

"Vincent. You aren't going to say such a nasty word. Especially in front of a lady."

"There a lady present?" Vincent joked.

Zelda hit him playfully, "We're nearly on. I hope you don't puke. I don't care what you say, all that food in you is bound to come up."

"Let's see. Pizza, chicken wings, turkey leg, gyro, fries, cotton candy, I'm not sure." Vincent said as he counted off the food he ate. "I'm telling you I have both a bottomless and cast iron stomach."

The carnie finally let more people on the roller coaster. Zelda seemed scared stiff since they had to go sit all the way in the front. As the iron bar was set into place, she held onto Vincent's arm. Slowly the train moved up the track and then teetered on the hill. Vincent had a wide smile on his face and Zelda kept her eyes closed.

They spent hours at the amusement park. Vincent ate more food and together they go on more rides. Almost routine, they walk out of the attraction and Vincent goes off to find another high calorie food to munch on. Zelda sat on the bench as Vincent indulged himself on a hot dog.

"Sure don't want anything?" Vincent asked as he swallowed it.

"I'm sure. How do you fit so much food into your stomach?" Zelda asked.

"Magic," Vincent answered jokingly.

The two got up from the bench and began to walk around to find another fun ride to get on. They passed game booths and tried to egg people to try. As they past one with a stacked pyramid of bottles, one carnie snagged the prideful redhead.

"Come on red! Win a prize for your lovely blonde!" he shouted at them.

"Vincent…you're not thinking of-"

Vincent slammed down a ten-dollar bill, "Gimme the bucket of balls."

The carnie took the money and gave Vincent a basket full of tennis balls. With a grin on his face, Vincent grabbed a ball and wound up. He pitched his first ball and it looked promising. But it simply pulled to the left and missed the pyramid all together. Curing under his breath, he tried again.

And again.

And again till he ran out of balls. A bit disappointed, Vincent took out his wallet and slammed down a five. The carnie took the money and gave Vincent only half of a bucket of balls.

"Vincent, you can stop now," Zelda said as she tried to reason with him.

"Look Zel, I'm going to win something. Got it memorized?" Vincent took a ball and threw it at the pyramid. It bounced off the top bottle and fell to the ground.

The carnie had a big smirk on his face.

Vincent was getting closer to being pissed off. He hit the bottles yet he didn't knock them down. Before thoughts of the game bring rigged set in, Vincent grabbed a ball. His phone rang. Vincent reached into his pocket and answered it, "Pizza Hut, home of the Whopper. Can I eat your order?"

"Vinnie? When are you getting home?"

"Malon, I'm not sure. What's with the nice routine?"

"Oh, it's a ploy. You didn't take me. I hate you!" the other end went dead.

Vincent shrugged. He looked at the pyramid. He wanted to knock them over badly. Just to have a win over the carnie's game would mean everything to him. He wound up and threw the ball at the pyramid. The ball hit the bottles and they were instantly knocked over.

He sighed in relief and the carnie was amazed. Defeated, he reached for the giant bear and gave it to Vincent. He took it and held it up in victory.

"I bet your basking in a light of glory," Zelda said.

"I did it! Stupid glass bottles and tennis balls," Vincent said. He handed the bear over to Zelda. "Well, come on…let's find something to do."

She looked at the bear. For something that cost him so much, he discarded it without much thought. Zelda followed Vincent as he walked. Night was already on top of them. They had so much fun that Zelda never noticed.

"Hey Zellie, want to get on one more ride before heading home?" Vincent asked.

"Sounds good," Zelda answered.

They made their way to the giant Ferris wheel. They stood in line for a while before Vincent left her. A little perplexed, she stood in line. The line moved closer and closer and she began to worry that Vincent may have just left her. At that moment, Zelda felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Vincent holding out an ice cream cone for her. Smiling, she took it, "Thanks but you took a long time."

"Sorry about that. Line was almost as long as this one. Great, skipped out on most of the waiting here," Vincent said as he looked at their position.

Zelda slapped him playfully, "You suck."

The two finally got on the Ferris wheel. Zelda moved closer to Vincent as they moved upwards. She licked the vanilla ice cream Vincent got her. They reached the top and the wheel stopped. She looked at Vincent to see a smile spread on his face. Fireworks shot up into the air and exploded in the sky. The dark sky was brilliantly decorated with many colors.

"I know you have something to do with this," Zelda said.

"Not me. I'm just a good timer, that's all."

"Your still responsible for this. I just wish other guys had the same date planning skills you have. You'll make a girl very lucky one day Vincent."

"Right now, that girl is you," Vincent said.

"And you're really sweet. Thanks Vincent."

A/N: Well, looks like I'm causing even more mayhem with the original parings people thought. Sure at first it was Link and Zelda, Vincent and Malon. That was what most of you wanted. But now this chapter happened and so did the last and everything is to freaking confusing.

Just for those people who are still sure Vincent and Malon get together just because that's in all other Zelda stories I've written, I got some news. In the original draft with the original Vincent, he fell in love with none other than Princess Zelda.

So vote for your favorite parings now. Will it make a difference? Maybe, but mostly no. Also, anyone who manages to answer this question will get oatmeal cookies. Where did the line 'Got it memorized' come from?
