Just Corey: Well, I'm finally getting spare time so I figured I would write. I've given up on Finally, I'm going to take it down and re-write it, then repost it. Ill keep it up, but I won't be updating. Anyway, on to the second half of the Hylian Ball chapter.
Oh Fuck, Come On!
The Hylian Ball Part 2Link and Saria made their way slowly up the steps. Zelda didn't notice them until link waved his hand in her face.
(Just Corey: Okay, I guess I should be describing things, but then I get carried away. Anyway, If you get bored in the next few paragraphs, just skip ahead to the part where the go to a table. I'll tell you when the description starts.)
Zelda snapped her head up with a shock, " Ahhhhh!"
Link grinned and bowed, " The representatives from the hidden forest are here to inform you of our arrival."
Zelda Punched Link playfully and looked at him with a serious stare, " I do not appreciate your antics, Mr. Link. Now please, go on inside, and have fun with the other guests."
Link looked at her, his grin slowly disappeared, then came back. He looked at her in a mocking glance and said, " Oh! Zelda is trying to be a serious hard ass. Come Zelda, you're not going to stay here all night are you? Come join ze' partey' vith' us your highness."
Zelda look at him. Her eyes slowly softened, and she put her hand up to her mouth. No sound came, but slowly tears began to build up near her eyes. She stopped holding it in and burst out into a fit of giggles. She lost her balance and toppled onto the floor.
"Calm down spas, your going to choke!" Link said while grinning and leaning down to help her up. A group of people walking by looked at them funny.
"Enjoy the party!" Yelled between laughing. Saria was holding her hand to her mouth and laughing inside her throat. Zelda looked like a drunk after Christmas.
"Ve' sall" Said the man in a snobbish tone. Zelda burst out laughing again when she heard his accent. Link was looking at her funny now. She took his hand and pulled herself up, with some help.
"Calm down, it really wasn't that funny." Link said in her ear.
"I know, but I actually was going to standing out here all night greeting these French snobs." She said in his ear. He laughed. And backed away, to stand next to Saria again.
"Oh, well I mean, if you'd rather be a doorwoman, then by all means…"
"Shut up Link!"
"Oh Zelda, Links kidding. Lighten up a bit. It's a party." Came a voice from behind them. Long red tresses emerged from the door way to the castle. Malon walked out, clad in a white and gold dress. ( A gift from Zelda, for being one of her Three only friends)
( Just Corey: Okay, I'm going to start describing their outfits now, then the ball room. So, try to stay awake, and if your about to pass out, then skip ahead to where my next author's comment."
At this point, Link stopped to take in just how beautiful his companions looked.
Zelda was wearing a pale pink and mauve dress, that went down to her knees, and open slightly on the sides, to show off parts of her legs. Her top was cut in a V just where her chest began. Being the least, exuberant, of the group, she tried to show a little more to be equal with the others.
Her eyes were shadowed in a smoky purple hew, and her lips held a light pink lipstick. Her face had a light hew to it, which hinted to cover-up, and her cheeks had a more then normal pink to them, which Link guessed was blush. A light purple eyeliner could be made out from her eyes. Her gold circlet was in place a usual, and she wore a gold and silver necklace.
Link then moved on to Malon.
Malon, clad I her cold, crisp white and gold dress, looked like a (Sexy) diva. Hey hair had a shine to it, of that it had been recently washed conditioned, and fanned dry. She wore a gold lipstick, and a light mango, gold eye shadow. She had a pair of white gloves on, and a red ruby necklace that matched her eyes.
Her gown was tight cut at the top, her father's anxieties, and her red hear glide down her back to meet her at her waist. Pair of white, and gold-laced heels bedecked her feet.
Finally, he looked a Saria.
Although she hadn't been a teenager for long, she sure knew the more, mature points of dressing one's self. Link was amazed at the sheer simplicity of her gown. It was a simple silken green, and flowed down to her waist, which was wrapped in an emerald sash. Her hair was done up in a loose fitting bun, that let part of it fall out into a pony tail halfway down her back , and had two strands go by the front of her face, framing it in her classic look.
The lower portion of her dress opened at the sides halfway down, to show off her beautiful legs. Its cut finished at her knees. (Zelda's idea.) She wore a pair of Kokiri sandals, with green straps. The top half of her gown, or kimono, was down the front, and had a simply design of ivy sewn into it. They converged at the back to form a emerald wreathed in ivy and roses. Her Kimono was bound tight, in the top half, to cover her heavier onset…
That's when Link realized he was ogling.
A giggling Zelda was slowly writing something down for Malon.
" How long till he snaps out of it, you figure?"
Malon wrote something back,
" Umm, I'm guessing three minutes."
That's when Link snapped his head up, and to his internal shame, noticed a sliver of saliva at the edge of his mouth. Saria was blushing as red as the roses on her Kimono, staring away.
Link looked around at his scene. Sighing at his own stupidity, he walked into the castle. Zelda and Malon followed, but Saria stayed outside.
Malon ran out and grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her into the castle.
Link leaned against a table, while Malon and Zelda were coveting Saria off in a corner. She looked a little distressed, but mostly confused.
(Ah the problems caused by ogling, the man's most evident weakness.)
" What was he looking at?" She asked, slightly confused.
Malon put her hands on Saria's shoulders, and looked at her, " Saria, why do you look ashamed? He's never done that to us."
" Exactly, what did I do?"
Zelda popped in here, " You look hot. Like really hot!"
" What's looking hot?"
Zelda and Malon almost fell over, " You don't know what hot is?"
" Its when something's been heated for a long period."
"Ung! Saria, it's slang for attractive! Guys look at women like that when they think they look really good. Did he compliment you today?"
" Well yes, but I don't see…"
"Own it," Zelda said twirling her hair a passing guy. He fell down, " And how do you not know what hot is!?! Don't you have the book?"
"You mean the volume you gave me?"
" Yes!" They both yelled at once.
"But, its just he's never looked at me like that before. I've never been looked at like that before."
Malon sighed and pat Saria on the shoulders, "Saria, calm down. I'd kill to have Link look at me like that, even if for only for…," She turned to Zelda, who clued in and pulled a little vile out of her pocket, " Twenty three seconds." She said, finishing Malon's sentence.
"Besides, guys do that all the time, Link just happened to lose himself. Expect it, and own it."
Saria put on a calm face, but didn't feel reassured. Never the less, she calmed down and walked back over to the table with them.
Link looked up from the floor, and saw them coming. Not wanting to be around right then, he said, " I'm going to get drinks. What do you guys want?"
"Guys?" Malon said, playfully offended.
"Fine, what would you ladies like?"
" Good dog. I'll have a scotch on the rocks, I don't care how early it is."
" A glass of Champaign," Zelda quipped in, " And Saria will have a sake. And wait, I'll come with you."
"Okay." Link said before walking off towards the bar. Zelda followed after winking at Malon and giving her a, "I'm gonna kill him." Look.
-Link, Zelda-
Link walked up to the barkeep, and put out the orders. While he waited, Zelda came up to him.
" Link. What was that? I don't think you've ever ogled that long."
Link turned a shade of crimson, and said, "Shut up okay."
"Hey, relax. I'm saying, you freaked her out a little. Okay a lot, but still Link. She's been a teenager for three months. Control yourself. She doesn't understand all the aspects of being older, so don't mess her up yet."
"I know. It just sort of happened. I didn't even realize I was doing it."
"That's not the only thing. You looked a little hungry."
"I am hungry, I planned to gorge myself on the food here."
"No Link. Not that way…"
"Zelda! It's Saria. I don't feel that way about her. Bye Din, don't say stuff like that," he said taking the Champaign the bartender gave to him. He handed it to Zelda,
" And besides, it's not like you should talk." He said casually pointing at the drum player Zelda was checking out.
Zelda punched him, swing down style, "shut up!"
Link smirked, "Hypocrite."
-Saria, Malon-
Saria was sitting down at the table, looking a little jittery. Malon sat in front of her.
"Relax okay. Tonight's a night to have fun. Link's just being playful, in his own retarded way."
"I know, but its just that…"
"No buts. Now go find a guy to dance with."
As if on cue, a young man of around twenty came up and asked her to dance, "Excuse me miss, can I take your arm in this next dance?"
Malon shoved her under the table, and Saria looked at her. She shoved her again, and Saria got the message. She stood up, and letting out a deep breath and said, "I'd love that."
Malon watched as Saria walked off, and couldn't help notice a glint in the man's eyes. Something mischievous. Something cutely mischievous.
Saria was pulled lightly onto the dance floor, and she turned to face the young man before her.
"I never caught your name." He said smiling, while lifting up her hands to begin a dance. The music began, and she was lurched into a spin.
"Saria," She said, trying to keep up, "And yours?"
"Damion. My parents are over with the king, discussing Nayru only knows what."
They continued to dance for about two minutes.
-Link, Malon, Zelda-
Link made his way back to the table, trying not to drop the drink he was carrying.
" Hey, where's Saria?" He asked, before taking a seat next to Malon. Zelda came up and told them she would be back in ten minutes.
"Alright, just don't die on us." Malon teased as Zelda walked off.
"Malon, where's Saria. I want to apologize about before."
Malon looked up at Link and was about to speak when a large splash erupted from the middle of the room. Water flied out of the fountain, and the Zora appeared from its liquid depths.
Some of the party go-errs were out raged that they're outfits were ruined, others were upset, but mostly everyone joined into the slick frolicky fun.
As the crowd converged towards the middle of the room, Link got a glimpse of Saria, dancing with a guy whose hand was straying down her back. Link stood up and took Malon's hand.
"Come on. Were going dancing." He said pulling her onto the dance floor.
"Huh?"
He faced her looking into her eyes and said, "That guy's a perve. We're helping Saria out. That and I need to talk to her."
"Um, no…." She was cut off as a new song began. Link moved them towards Saria, and kept a closer watch on her.
Near the end of the song Link saw the mans hand stray a little lower, until finally, "Gnah!"
A hi pitched squeak was heard from Saria, and the song ended. Malon looked at Link, and they both moved towards the pair. Damion Looked and saw them coming, and they flawlessly traded dance partners.
Malon mouthed a, "You owe me fairy boy!"
Link looked at Saria. Her eyes were distant, and off place. A slow dance started, and Link pulled her closer in for the proper steps. He whispered into her ear, "Saria, are you okay?"
A tear slid down her face, and link pulled her a little closer.
"I'm sorry about earlier, I was out of line." She put her head on his shoulder, and let out a little sniff.
"I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry." He said. She slowly answered him,
"Its not that Link. It's that ever since I changed the stupid shrine, everyone has been treating me differently. Even you. I mean I know your trying not to, but its just such a sudden change. I guess I can't really handle all this in one night." She said, before continuing her silent crying.
Link could feel her head shuddering on his shoulder, and he felt a large pang of guilt in his stomach.
"Its okay. Everything is fine," He said. She relaxed to his voice, and her body melted into his for the rest of the dance. Somewhere near the end, Link lifted her face so he could see her eyes. They were focused on him, "As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you. I'm your best friend, and I'll make sure of it. Besides, when have I ever broken a promise?"
She smiled, and he led her off to the table where a now waiting Zelda sat.
"I need to go talk to Malon. I'll be back in a few minutes."
He mouthed something to Zelda, and went back onto the dance floor. The slow dance had ended seconds earlier, and the band was about to play a new one. Link found Malon, and invited her to dance… again.
Damion said his goodbyes and walked into the crowd.
Malon looked smartly at Link, a faint smirk on her lips, "I'm going to kill you!" She said quietly.
The music started, and much to Malon's dismay, it was tango music.
Link grinned and said equally quietly, "We'll see after this."
Before Malon could say anything else, Link pulled her into the quick paced moves of the dance. Malon seemed to know what she was doing, but lost focus as Link spiraled and twisted faster and harder.
She kept pace, but was running out of breath. She began to sweat, as Link put her through more and more intricate moves and steps. (I don't know anything about dancing. Sigh.)
Finally the music stopped. Malon was panting, and looked up at link.
He raised an eyebrow, and smiled coyly, "Now what was this about you wanting to kill something?"
Between gasps for air, she punched him in the side and said between flustered lips, "Go…pant…die…pant…Link…pant!"
Link chuckled and led her off the dance square, to a laughing Zelda, and a smiling and consoled Saria.
Saria looked happier and had a small giggle going in her throat. Zelda on the other hand was, well, about to break the table she was hitting it so hard. She was about to smash her fist against the table again, when a blue, webbed hand reached over and held it fast.
A blue head popped in front of Link and screamed, "LINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Ruto pounced on him. And gave him a huge hug, " Cough… Joking…not breathing…"
She didn't seem to notice, and kept crushing him. Malon began to pull her off, or at least tried to. Another pair of blue hands wrapped around Ruto's sides, and squeezed slightly, and then backed up as Ruto Spased.
She jumped into the air and spun around, "Mateo!"
The Zora Laughed. He smiled curtly, and turned to the others, "Hi, my name's well, I guess you know, Mateo. I'm Ruto's date, though I doubt you caught that."
"Mateo! It was supposed to be a surprise. Ung, gneh!" She yelled as he wrapped his arms around her neck in a hug
"Whatever you say." He said shrugging.
Zelda stood up and clapped her hands together, "Alright, now that everyone's here, we can go to my sexy party over at the cathedral," said pointing out the window to the now decorated cathedral. Just then, the band began it next number, and Toybox appeared on the stage. They began playing the beat for "The Sailor Song", "Right after this song."
They danced some more, and at one point Malon bumped into Damion again. Being the ever-polite pervert, he discreetly peeked down her shirt while he helped her up.
When the song was over, they made their way toward the entryway.
Much frolicking went on, and at one point Link got Wedgied by Zelda and Malon.
"Nice Boxer's" They yelled while they ran off chasing him.
Saria giggled a little, and remembered when she gave Link those exact boxers. In fact, he'd been wearing them when she had walked in on him. They were green with little bunny heads. So cutesy.
Link cried, "My pride…"
Saria laughed and gave him a come from behind hug, "Shut up Link, you know you like them."
Link turned Crimson and just kept his mouth shut as they walked the rest of the way to the cathedral.
Once inside, they gorged on real food, and listened to a private group that Zelda go hold of. After a while, and many martinis later, Ruto and Mateo decided to go for a dip. Malon was drunk, and Zelda was helping her out of the room and into a bed down stairs.
The band had left, hours ago, and only the sound from the concert band in the castle. Saria and Link were sitting at a table.
(Yet again…) Slow music began to play. For a minute, nothing happened, and finally…
"Hey, want to dance?" Link asked, popping his head up from his drink. Saria looked at him funny, with a pink blush across her face from all the alcohol, "I mean that last dance we had wasn't exactly the most fun…"
Smiled, gave a happy sigh and stood up. Link, being a little less tipsy, beat her, and held his hand out to help her the rest of the way. The music kept playing, (I'm running out of ideas.) and they began to dance.
Nothing fancy or complicated. Just simple swaying from side to side in the room.
"You really do look beautiful tonight." Link said looking at the moon through the window off to their right.
"Thanks." She said, her blush deepening slightly.
They continued swaying slowly and their movements became more exaggerated, and they toppled over onto each other.
Link lay on top of her, not really processing much of what was happening. Neither was Saria.
"This is a little compromising…"
"Yeah…"
"So…"
"Um…"
Link began moving his head down, and Saria was starting to close her eyes. Just before they made contact, Zelda walked back in.
"Hey are you guys okay….?"
Malon popped her head out from around they wall.
"HEY. ARE YOU TWO MAKING OUT?"
Link blushed deeply, and swallowed. Saria unconsciously sighed.
"No Malon, we just fell." Link said. Saria made a little squeak, but Link didn't hear. Link stood up and held his hand out for her. She stalled for a moment, and accepted it.
Ruto and Mateo burst into the room, each a shade of crimson, and panting heavily.
"I win!" Ruto said between pants.
"No fair."
Damion walked up the stair into the front entrance of the cathedral.
"Princess Zelda, your father requests an audience with you back in the…"
He was cut short by a large explosion on top of the building. The roof ripped off, and gusts of wind. A large vortex was spinning on top of the temple, and Link could help but yell, "OH Fuck! COME ONE!"
He slowly felt himself lift off the ground, and blacked out.
Just Corey: Yeah well there you go. Done bye.
