Guess What Tomorrow Is
"Alright, spike!" Vincent yelled out.
"No fair, you played this game longer than me. You played all games longer than me," Zelda retaliated as the score at the top of the screen now read 6 – 2. They sat close to each other on the carpeted floor, staring at the screen.
"You can't prove anything Zel," Vincent said. "No way you can prove that I have played Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball for a good amount of time."
"How come you have so many swimsuits unlocked?" Zelda asked.
"Magic?" Vincent answered.
"Anyways," Zelda said, turning back to the screen. "Its your turn to serve."
Vincent chuckled, "Alright, alright."
They resumed playing on Vincent's Xbox. Last nights 'date' brought Vincent and Zelda closer together. It was obvious to them that they weren't that much different. Both escape into another world where anything could happen and have a sense of being aesthetic.
"So what's the whole deal with this game?" Zelda asked.
"Dead or Alive is traditionally a fighting game. I don't really care for its story. It's really all about the jiggling boobs."
Zelda rolled her eyes, "The only you will ever care about on a woman."
"Oh, come on Zelda. You know me better than that," Vincent said.
"Yeah I do," Zelda said, smiling.

"Man, I'm bored," Link said as he leaned against the kitchen counter. He kept his eyes on the oven. He heard the timer went off and he went over to the oven. He grabbed an oven mitt and opened the oven. Link took the pan inside and set it on top of the counter. He fanned it in an effort to cool it down.
Malon came downstairs, "I smell brownies."
"You got a good nose Malon. Just pulled them out."
Malon stared at Link skeptically.
"What?"
"Who made them?" Malon asked.
Link scoffed, "Who do you think? I'm the only person here that has any lick of cuisine skill. Why don't you try one? Desserts and sweets aren't my best area at cooking."
Malon raised her eyebrow. She took a knife and cut out a piece. Sniffing at it, she took a bit out of it. Her eyes widened.
"Well?"
"First off, this thing is really hot," Malon said as she opened her mouth so she could try to cool her mouth off. "But its really good. Seriously, who made these?"
"Me Malon. Why is it so hard to believe that I am an accomplished chef?"
"Cause your you," Malon simply said. "Fine, so you made these. Tell me why, how, and when did you get so good at cooking? You have to admit Link, you don't look like the type who would take time from chasing girls to whisk some eggs."
Link laughed, "That's the reason I even learned. Seriously, don't girl love a man who can whip up a five star dinner? I can't tell you how many girls fell head over heels when they tasted my infamous roasted duck. I'm going to see if Vincent or Zelda would like some."
Link took off the oven mitt and went to the stairs. He steadily climbed them and entered Vincent's room through his opened doorway. He was taken aback when he saw Vincent and Zelda playing a game together but shook it off. "Hey guys, would you like some brownies?"
"Alright!" Vincent said, putting down his controller. "Go get them. I was wondering if your were going to ever show off your culinary skills again."
"Link can cook?" Zelda asked Vincent.
"He's a loser about it. Almost never ever doing it but when he does. Delicious," Vincent retorted.
"I am still here guys," Link said. He sighed, "Hey Malon, bring some up will you?"
"Fine!" Malon yelled.
"I can't believe that you, Zelda, are playing a game," Link said. "Next I'll see Vincent actually watch real television."
"Hey! I watch Supernatural," Vincent replied.
"Anyways…" Link said.
Malon came upstairs with two brownies wrapped in napkins. She was blissfully eating one. She handed the other two to Vincent and Malon. Right after grabbing his, Vincent took three bites and finished his.
"Your not savoring Vincent," Link said.
Zelda laughed, "You know your brother. His stomach is a black hole after all. My guess is that he just has the gratification of tasting it before it goes down into that abyss."
Vincent held his head, "My brain has a stomachache."
Malon and Zelda laughed at Vincent's statement. He said almost as he was a little child eating their ice cream to fast. He gave a goofy smile and yawned.
"Tired Vincent?" Malon asked.
"Stayed up last night," he said. "Had to watch anime marathon."
Zelda finished her brownie, "Are we going to finish our game Vincent?"
"Sure Zel," Vincent said.
They picked up their controllers and resumed their game. Malon and Link looked at each other. They were both confused with the sudden change in both Vincent and Zelda. They looked like nothing could really separate them. Together, it looked like they needed no one else.
"Do you know what's going?" Malon whispered to Link.
Link shrugged, "Between those two? Not a thing."
Vincent snickered and put down his controller. He did a strange movement with his right arm, "That's game."
"I still see it as unfair. You play way more than me Vincent. How am I supposed to just become instantly good at a game you have been playing since release date? Answer that Vincent," Zelda said.
"Magic?" he answered.
Zelda chuckled softly, "Your insane."
Vincent grinned, "I was condemned to an insane asylum as a child." Vincent kept his eyes locked on Zelda, "Um, are you wearing pink lipstick?
Zelda gave him a curious look. She thought about it and remembered that she did have on a soft milky pink lipstick on. "Yeah why?"
Vincent looked away. His face turned red and looked back at Zelda, "I don't know how to say this. Well, let's just say I have a thing for beautiful girls that wear pink. Especially pink lipstick. I find it very…"
"Attractive?" Zelda asked. A lock of her golden hair fell sensually over her eyes.
Vincent softly shrugged, "Guess you can say that." He sighed and got up from the floor, "Since tomorrow's the first day of school, I have to go wash and fill my truck. I'll see you guys later." He patted his jeans pockets to make sure he had his keys and walked out of the room.
"So there were three," Link said as the front door downstairs slammed shut. "So Malon, found anything out of the ordinary?"
Malon took hold of Link's arm and shoved him out the room, "Go and make more brownies, someone ate them all. Oh, and could you make a red velvet cake?"
"Um, yeah I can-"
"Ok so go do it," Malon said shutting the door. She turned to Zelda, "Explain."
"What are you-"
"Its really easy to see Zelda," Malon said. "You and Vincent have a thing going on. At least, there's some sort of feeling towards both of you."
"Don't be silly Malon. No way does Vincent like me."
"But do you like him?"
"I admit, he's a catch like his brother. Both are gifted in looks but there's a lot more with Vincent. He's not just another guy. He sweet, smart, funny but I don't like him," Zelda said. "I know that for sure. Besides, think how things around here will be if we do develop feelings for each other. Imagine when things don't work out. What about them?"
Malon sighed, "Something tells me your torn between him and someone else."
"Look Malon, when you realize that boyfriend of yours is no good at all, then you can tell me about these types of things," Zelda said with a scoff as she left Vincent's room.
Malon soaked that conversation in. She didn't think Seth was a bad guy. He surely was better than Vincent as a boyfriend. Malon shook her head and left Vincent's room.

Vincent yawned as he slammed the door shut. He looked up at the house and sighed, "I want some more brownies."
"Sheik was right, you do live here," said a familiar voice from behind Vincent.
He turned around to find Lillian on the sidewalk with a dog. Its long fur was a hazel brown and it wagged its tail constantly. It wasn't too big for an animal most likely kept pampered. She smiled at him as he walked over to her. "Hey Lillian, didn't know you lived close by. What are you up to?"
She sighed, "Nothing really. I kind of hate summer because I can never hang out with my friends. So, I'm just waiting till tomorrow. Decided I should walk my dog since there's always nothing to do."
"I see what you're getting at. My house will forever be in a state of suspended boredom," Vincent crouched down and played with her dog. "Awesome dog. What's her name?"
Lillian laughed, "His name is Krypto."
Vincent looked up Lillian with wide eyes, "Krypto? Did your younger brother or dad name him?"
"Not at all," Lillian said as she too crouched down. "You're going to think I'm a geek but, I love Superman."
"Un-be-liev-able," Vincent said, stressing out each syllable. "That's really cool. I'm a huge Superman fan myself. I find it hard to believe that you're a Superman though. You don't look the part."
"You don't either," Lillian said. "But I do. No superhero is better than the last son of Krypton."
Vincent continued to play with Krypto, "I love dogs. They're so cool." He looked over to Lillian and then back at the dog, "You got nothing to do right?"
Lillian shook her head, "Not today. Why?"
"Come with will you?" Vincent said nodding to his car. "I think it's best if you'd come with me." He stood up and walked over to the Escalade.
"Sure, where we going?" Lillian said, following his lead. "What about Krypto?"
"He can come with us. Where we're going, dogs are welcomed," Vincent said.

Zelda sat in her room with an open book in her hand. She sighed and laid the book face down on her bed and rubbed her temples. A lot of emotions ran through both her heart and brain. She was sure that she liked Link but Vincent was just so hard not to develop any emotions for.
"Knock, knock," Link said as he knocked on Zelda's open door. He leaned against the door with his arms crossed, "Thought I check up on you."
"I'm not a little girl."
Link sighed, "I know, I know." He nodded over to the book, "What are you reading?"
"Your going to think that I'm infatuated with Vincent but I'm reading this fantasy novel. Seeing as how he carries himself as a nerd, it might help in getting to know him better. You know, to delve deeper into what goes on in his head," Zelda answered.
Link stared at her.
"Stop that," Zelda said, turning away from his eyes.
He walked into her room. He sat next to her on her bed and picked up the book. Link flipped through the pages and skimmed the beginning, "You started today right? Wow, you read fast." He placed it back down, "But here's a few tips about Vincent. As much as it looks like he's into the fantasy theme, the closest thing he's done to that is watch The Lord of the Rings. Sure, some of his games might say that as well but one of his favorites is Final Fantasy VII. And from experience, that's for Sci Fi than anything."
"Your telling me that Vincent isn't a fantasy nerd?"
Link chuckled, "He probably doesn't know about Forgotten Realms or even about Cormyr."
Zelda looked strangely at him, "Link, those two things are associated with Dunge-"
"Yeah, so," Link said, immediately changing the subject. "Want to come downstairs? I got a slice of cake with your name on it." He smiled at her, "What do you say?"
"Sounds nice," Zelda said.

Vincent poked his head through the slightly opened front door. He looked around to find nobody near by. He let himself in and softly closed the door behind him. His left arm held something close to his chest. Vincent quietly ascended the stairs and entered his room.
He placed whatever he had down on his bed and left his room, making sure to shut the door after himself. He went back downstairs and went straight into the kitchen. Vincent opened the refrigerator and got out a can of soda. He drank it in one chug and went over to the pantry.
With a smirk on his face, he took three bags of chips out and left them on the counter. Vincent then opened the refrigerator again and pulled out the entire pack of soda.
"Jeez Vincent," Zelda said, walking into the kitchen. "You left early today and your just coming in? It's nearly eight. School's tomorrow and your our ride there. You can just show up anytime you want and then sleep it off. And you're drinking all that soda? You're going to be up until three."
"Calm down my blond bombshell," Vincent said. "I realize that I'm coming in a little late but trust me, I don't oversleep. As for the soda, I've been drinking cans of the caffeine beverage since I was young. It has no affect over me."
Zelda stared at him, "Are you sure?"
"Positive. What are you guys up too?"
"Nothing much," Zelda answered. "We're basically in our rooms waiting for tomorrow. Malon is doing something vain; Link's doing something vain. I'm just reading a book. Where did you go while you were gone?"
"Uh, just out really. Went to find a new game and stayed at the store for a while. That's all," Vincent said, a little suspiciously.
Zelda placed her fist under her chin and stared at Vincent. There really had to be a way to prove to herself that she didn't like him. He was everything a girl could ask for but there was something that kept Zelda from actually falling for him. He smiled at her and opened a can of soda.
Zelda walked up to him.
"What is it Zel?" Vincent asked, placing the can on top of the counter.
Zelda leaned in and kissed Vincent. After a few moments, she broke it and looked up at him, "Just as I thought." She took a soda from him and turned around.
Vincent stood still, shocked. He scratched the back of his head, "I swear, I'm not the only crazy one around here."
A/N: Oops, I did it again. I am evil. Mwa ha ha ha. Yeah, anyways, for those who like the Vincent/Zelda pairing, are you in for a treat. Ever since I brought up this abandoned chapter for a story of mine, Shinobi Kitten has pestered me in letting her read it. Since I have to type it up, why not publish it? Vincent and Zelda, yes sir. Since it won't happen in this story (or will it?) might as well do it somewhere else.
Stay tuned for the next episode of Digimon: Digit- I mean Under One Roof.
