Waaahoo chapter two! It took me a little long to write, (iProcrastinate) but I promise it's nice and melodramatic for you. Zelda is PMSing or something, so watch out for that.
~***~
Link Forrester slept comfortably in his king sized bed on a chilly, November morning. The digital clock on the nightstand to his right may have read 11:26 AM, but the boy had no intentions of getting up any time soon. Heck he might not even get up all day, as that was his favorite way to spend his days off of work. Link was having an awesome dream about waking up to some nice, hot bacon and pancakes, when the cell phone on the hard wood floor, which was set on vibrate, went off.
'Holy shit!" Link said as he shot up in his bed. He was not expecting his phone to vibrate so loudly anytime soon or even at all today. Letting out a sigh Link walked over to the spastic electronic, looked at the name, rolled his eyes, and answered,
"Sheik, what do you want? And it better be good, you interrupted my dream."
"Sorry, yeah whatever. I just wanted to make sure you were awake so you wouldn't miss lunch with me, Malon, and Zelda."
"Why do I have to go to this thing again? And who the hell is Zelda?" Link was annoyed with his best friend for two reasons. The first reason was that Sheik woke him up during his favorite pastime, and the second one being woken up for wedding plans. Who even gets married at 23 anyway? If you asked Link, Sheik was throwing the good years of his life away.
'Link, Zelda is that "hot chick from freshman year" who you totally had a crush on but shrugged it off as just wanting to sleep with her, and you have to go because,"
"I did only want to sleep with her! What can I say, nerdy girls turn me on."
"Link, don't be such a pervert. Especially when you're talking about my fiancée's best friend! The reason you have to go is because Zelda hates you and Malon doesn't want it to make our wedding awkward okay? So just go to lunch with us, put on a good act, and go back to your lazy, perverted ways in 5 months."
"Does she really now? I can't imagine why she would. Maybe it's because I never would sleep with her…"
"Link. Just be at Telma's Café at 12. And try to be normal if that's even possible." With that last sentence, Sheik hung up on his friend.
'Wow, marriage has already shoved a stick up his butt.' Link said to himself as he got dressed. After looking for something suitable to wear, Link thought to himself, 'I wish I could just wear my sweatpants, but no, that would offend stupid Malon and her stupid friend Zelda and ruin Sheik's stupid perfect wedding. Yeah right, I bet he just wants to marry her because she's awesome in the sack.' This led Link to wonder, if Malon was good, what about Zelda? Oh Goddesses, why was he such a perv? Maybe he had liked Zelda as an actual person, not some object he needed to conquer. He remembered some of her more human characteristics, from the way she wrinkled her nose in disgust at him and his attempts to get with her to when he saw her in the library with her nose stuck in a book. And there were the times Link spotted her laughing with her friends around campus. Great Goddesses, she was beautiful when she laughed.
"What the hell am I thinking? I don't even know this chick." Link assured himself and finished getting dressed.
~***~
Malon looked at her friend stubbornly. Why couldn't Zelda just get over herself and accept the fact that she was hot and that it wasn't a bad thing? Zelda was currently sitting in front of Malon's vanity mirror, complaining about her outfit, her makeup, her hair, everything Malon had done to make Zelda look nice. She said it was good to look nice in public, her friend agreed, but said she thought she looked a little trashy with this makeup. Luckily for Malon, Zelda didn't know that Link was going on this lunch-date event too, to her knowledge it was just to sort out some details of the wedding as the unofficial, and unpaid, wedding planner. If she had known, Zelda would have washed all of the makeup off.
"Malon, I don't see why I need to look like some five dollar prostitute if it's just going to be me, you, and Sheik." Zelda said to Malon.
"Zelda, if you look like a five dollar prostitute, which you don't, then I must be a free one." Malon was laughing at her own joke when her fiancé came in.
"If you're free I'll be getting some of that later." Sheik said with a laugh. Malon playfully shot down his suggestions and somehow the couple ended up pretty much making out in front of Zelda. Understandably, Zelda was in an awkward place at the moment, so she simply said,
"I'll wait for you two outside of the room."
The two lovebirds turned a deep shade of red when their forgotten friend said this. Malon looked at Sheik who calmly said he'd be in the car when the girls were finished fixing themselves up. Malon started talking to Zelda in some embarrassed chatter while Zelda thought to herself, 'I wish somebody loved me like that' accompanied with a slight pang of jealousy.
"Well I think that it's time to go." Malon said with a smile and practically ran to her car.
~***~
The car ride to Telma's was pleasant with lots of jokes, stories, and even Malon and Zelda rocking out to their favorite songs on the radio. The only thing that bothered Zelda was whenever the lovers would look at each other, they made these 'I love you eyes' at one another and every time they did Zelda would feel another little pang of jealousy in the pit of her stomach. She didn't even want to feel it, but her friend was so happy, why couldn't that be her? Zelda let out a long sigh and looked out the window.
"Oh good, we're here!" Malon said as sweetly as ever. It was no wonder to Zelda why Sheik was completely infatuated with her, Malon was positively adorable when she was in a good mood. Actually that was more of an all the time thing, good mood or not. The couple grabbed each other's hands and waved to some blonde stranger in the distance. 'Oh great, somebody they know is here. Now they're going to talk forever and make us wait longer to be seated.' Zelda rolled her eyes and eventually managed to catch up to her energetic friends.
"We're you really sleeping when Sheik called you earlier? Is that how you like to spend your days off?" Malon asked this stranger. He nodded and smiled before looking at the newest arrival.
"This must be Zelda, right Sheik?" Zelda managed to give this guy the once over before Sheik responded. He was fairly tall, probably a little shorter than 6 feet, and had this incredibly shiny golden blonde hair. Clearly he worked out, even Zelda could tell through his clothes, and she wasn't apt to notice physique. On the matter of clothes he was wearing a nice button down shirt, with some jeans, and black vans? Zelda rolled her eyes; obviously he wanted to be here as much as she did, except he had the option of wearing sneakers.
'Oh yes this is Zelda. Zelda this is," Sheik didn't have to say that name before Zelda figured out who this guy was. She never even heard Sheik say his name, because in her scanning process she had reached his attractive face and the all too familiar crystal blue eyes squinting while they made that smirk at her. This guy was Link.
"I never thought I would see you again Link. How have you been?" Zelda said with a tone that reminded her of over sweetened tea.
"I've been pretty good, Zellie. How about yourself?" He smirked. When Zelda saw it, plastered there on his face, she remembered why she hated him in the first place. At least he hadn't made any sexual jokes yet.
"Don't call me that. Can you tell I don't really like it, or are you completely dense?"
"I think you do; besides you're cute when you're mad. And you should I know I'm dense. In fact, I still need some help with,"
"Don't you dare say it or I will kill you." Zelda pointed her finger sharply at Link. He just laughed and said,
"Anatomy."
Zelda proceeded to storm away in a huff, tell the hostess to seat them immediately, and tell Malon and Sheik to make this a fast lunch.
~***~
Zelda's attempts were in vain. Even though the hostess had found them a table as soon as possible, it wasn't exactly the largest one, meaning she had to sit straight across from Link and be crammed into Malon's side. Malon and Sheik were yapping the whole time too. Whether it was where the wedding should be, what the colors should be, what kind of reception, or even what kind of flowers should be there. Malon kept poking Zelda to see if she was getting all of this, however Link was too busy kicking Zelda in the shins for to her be paying attention. Finally Zelda shouted,
"Stop trying to play some weird, one-sided game of footsie with me you idiot! It's going to leave a bruise!"
Malon and Sheik went silent at Zelda's outburst, as did many of the other restaurants patrons. Link and Zelda were now engaged in an intense stare down.
"I didn't know I was kicking you. Did you ever think to say something without shouting?"
"Did you ever think to have a conversation with me without blatantly saying you want to sleep with me?
"What the hell does that have to do with anything Zelda?!" The argument was getting intense; both Link and Zelda were standing while glaring at each other.
"It has everything to do with it Link! Maybe if you weren't always being a pervert, I wouldn't have a reason to think you are one!" With that last statement, Zelda grabbed her purse, said a curt goodbye to Malon and Sheik, and walked towards the exit.
"Zel wait!" Malon called after her best friend. Zelda turned slowly,
"What is it Malon?"
"Well that was really horrible and I'm sorry that I didn't tell you he was going to be here but," Malon continued to ramble for what felt like forever, especially to her, "that's why you're the maid of honor and,"
"Malon, if I have to deal with that," She pointed rudely at Link. "I don't want to be in your wedding at all." The moment Zelda said this, Malon's face turned downward as she started to cry. Zelda said a brief, I'm sorry, and left the restaurant. Once Sheik was done telling Link that Zelda was right and he is an idiot, he looked up at Malon to see her crying. She looked at him then went outside. Sheik glared at Link. Link knew his best friend was probably going to punch him very hard, very soon.

The end! Sorry about taking longer than expected with this. I had to write a research paper which sucked all of the creative blood out of my brain. I was hoping to have chapter three done by Thanksgiving, but I really doubt that's going to happen. Delayed Thanksgiving, woohoo!
On another note, I have some freaking moody characters! I was writing this like, wow who does that? Oh well, I think their moodiness will be explained next chapter (Well Zelda's at least, I feel Malon was justified to cry xP ).
PS- Grammer mistakes=I'm sorry! I tried proofreading, but I don't know how that's working.
PPS- The next chapter IS going to be up by Saturday/Sunday! I will not let myself slack off anymore.
