Wow that was a LONG break. Sorry about it though, I was so busy with school, swim, more school, tennis, and exams. But all of that is done and over with now! Be prepared for more frequent updates, especially if there are reviews!
"I always knew you'd come back to me Zelda. Welcome back into my wedding party Miss Maid of Honor," Malon said while looking at herself in the mirror. The red-head was wearing a ridiculously poufy wedding gown and spun around a few times before saying, "This is not the dress for me."
Zelda looked up at her friend while sitting on the cozy, tan couch in the bridal shop. She couldn't understand why her friend didn't like any of the dress so far, all of them look amazing on the red head. Finally, Zelda asked for the fifth time, "Malon what is wrong with this one? I think it's stunning."
"Well it is pretty, but it's totally not me. It's too, I don't know, princess-y and I'm not really the princess type. We both know that's your thing." Malon let out a giggle while the salesgirl brought out another dress. The blonde made a disapproving sound and said, "I am not princess-y. Why do you think that I am?"
Malon nodded and motioned for the salesgirl to put the new dress in the dressing room. Then she turned to her friend with a raised eyebrow and her arms on her hips. When Zelda still looked confused she laughed and said, "Think about it some more while I put the next dress on Zel."
Zelda watched her friend prance off into the back of the store. She shifted her position so her elbow was resting on the armrest of the sofa, and her head was resting on the hand of that arm. Now to understand why Malon thought she acted like a princess. 'Well I'm not undeniably beautiful, so that out. I am blonde though, is that it? No, plenty of people are blonde and not prissy princesses. Wait, am I prissy? Oh goddesses no.'
Zelda's thoughts continued like that until Malon announced she had returned, this time with the 'perfect dress'. Zelda looked up once again. This time her friend was wearing cream-colored, trumpet cut dress. The dropped waist flattered her figure and contrasted perfectly when the bottom flared out. The bottom was made of chiffon, causing the dress to flow, not so much poof. The strapless top also showed off Malon's toned shoulders and long neck.
"Is this the one?" Zelda asked. Malon looked in the mirror and squealed in delight at the girl looking back at her. Her friend took this as a good sign and ran up to hug her friend. The salesgirl smiled as well and congratulated Malon before attending to her other duties.
"Zelda, I just really can't believe I'm getting married!" Malon looked her friend in the eyes and smiled, tears starting to form at the corners of her eyes. Zelda didn't want to deal with a crying Malon, she was never good with tears, so she hugged her friend again and said,
"Me neither Malon! How about we tell the salesgirl this is the one and get it down to alterations pronto!" Malon nodded in agreement and went to find the girl. Finding Malon had the situation under control; Zelda figured it wouldn't hurt to look around the store a bit. Shortly after she had been roaming the store, she saw the most beautiful dress she had ever seen. It consisted of a strapless, fitted bodice that was decorated with beading and a poufy, tulle skirt. Zelda was so focused on staring; she didn't notice another salesperson come up behind her.
"Would you like to try it on ma'am?" Zelda gasped and turned around, only to find no one, at least until she looked down. The man standing below her must have been about four and a half feet tall. He was smiling creepily at the blonde.
"Oh no sir, I'm just looking." Zelda said calmly to the strange man. He really was a weird one. He wore a green suit, as well as a green tie, despite the fashion disaster it was. His nose, which was very large for his face, was bright red as if he had a cold. And Zelda couldn't exactly figure out what else was wrong with him, just that something was off.
"I know you're just looking, you don't have an engagement ring silly girl," Zelda made a face of annoyance at that remark, "but we're not too busy and trying on a dress would be much better than standing around don't you agree?"
The Maid of Honor sighed. It wouldn't hurt just to try on the dress right? After a moment of thought Zelda said, "Alright. I'll just try it on, even though there really isn't a reason for it."
"Sometimes the best things in life don't have a reason. They're just fun!" The strange salesman said.
Zelda was now looking at herself in the fitting room mirror. 'Goddesses, it's such a beautiful dress. Why did I try it on? This was a bad idea. Now I want to buy a wedding dress for absolutely no purpose.' Zelda thought to herself in the fitting room.
"Oh Zelda! I know you're in there! Can you come out and show me how amazing you look in the wedding dress I have no idea why you tried on because Link hasn't proposed to you yet?" Malon called from outside the fitting rooms.
"Malon can you shut up? Link and I are NEVER getting married!"
"Good now I know what dressing room you're in. I'm right outside when you want to show me, and we're not leaving until you do FYI. Oh and yeah, I was kidding about the Link thing Zel because you obviously didn't get that part."
Zelda considered her options here; she could take off the dress, only to have Malon tell her to put it back on and take even more time or she could just give her friend a glimpse and make it as painless as possible. She chose the second one and opened the fitting room door.
"Say Cheese Zel!" Malon quickly snapped a picture of her best friend with her cell phone and starting pushing lots of different buttons on the phone's keyboard.
"Damn you Malon! Why did you take a picture? And what the hell are you going to do with it?"
"Send it to Link so he has something to do tonight." Malon said with a wink. Zelda's face turned bright red while she stormed over to her best friend. As seemingly passive as she was, Zelda was a very scary angry person.
"Relax Zelda, I already deleted it. Here check my phone." After snatching the phone from her friend and going through the photos, Zelda saw that the incriminating photo was gone. She shook her head while saying, "I'm sorry Malon. I shouldn't have freaked out like that. I just wasn't expecting a camera shoved in my face."
"You would be a horrible celebrity then. You'd be the one who punches out a paparazzo." Malon laughed. While Zelda continued looking through her best friend's phone just to snoop around.
"Malon, why exactly do you have Link's phone number?" Zelda asked.
"Why? Do you want it Zel?" Malon laughed some more. Zelda just crossed her arms and looked like she bit into a lemon. Once Malon finished giggling she said, "Actually, before me and Sheik become official Link tried to get with me. A lot. So I decided to humor him and swap digits because I knew he'd never get a real chance with me. I can't believe you don't remember this because you were freaking out that Sheik and Link were besties."
Zelda zoned out of the last part of the story. Link tried to get with Malon? What about Ruto? Saria? Midna? "I hate him." Zelda murmured to herself.
"What was that Zelda?" Malon asked, concerned about her friend.
"Nothing it's just hot as hell in this dress. I'm going to put my other clothes back on."
Link's phone buzzed. Since Link hand come home late from work, his phone was sitting on the kitchen table. The table Aryll was sitting at when she realized Link got a new picture message from Malon. 'Why would Malon text Link? She doesn't really know him that well. What if it's an emergency? I should check it. What if it's not? What if Link and Malon are having an affair and this is some sort of preview sext? Ew no, Malon wouldn't do that. It might be really important though. I should check it, Link would understand. If it's not important, I'll…I'll just say that I've never seen it before in my life and I don't know why his phone says that it's been read. That'll work.' After that long array of thoughts, Aryll flipped open the phone and read the message.
The message was a picture of some really pretty girl making a weird face and wearing a wedding dress. 'Is that Malon's dress? Why would she send it to Link?' Then she read the actual text out loud, "Link, I thought you'd enjoy a picture of your girlfriend. Winky face!" Aryll was confused for a little bit until she realized how much fun she could have with this. Then she proceeded to shout, "Link! Liiiinkkk! LINK FORRESTER GET YOUR BUTT OUT OF BED!"
After a few minutes, a tired looking Link walked into the kitchen. He rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers though his hair before asking "Aryll, it's 11:48. Why am I awake? Don't tell me it's some dumb reason or I'll be pissed."
"Wellll, if you think getting a picture of your girlfriend in a wedding dress is dumb, then yell at me all you want." Aryll smiled after saying that.
Link couldn't exactly understand what Aryll was talking about and it showed on his face. "Aryll, I don't have a,"
"I know that you don't have a girlfriend, but I do know who you want to be your girlfriend. And I don't know what that girl looks like and I don't know who this girl is so I'm guessing that this is a picture of Zelda in a wedding dress."
"What? Aryll give me my phone! Why were you looking at in the first place? Whatever just hand it over."
"Nope Link, it didn't seem important to you at first so I might just delete this picture message for once and all." Aryll's finger danced dangerously toward the delete button.
"Delete that message and I'll throw away your birth control!" Link shouted at his sister while blushing just a bit on his cheeks. He didn't usually threaten his sister like that, but Aryll wasn't even fazed by it. Instead she laughed.
"Link, it's so cute how much you want to see your little ZelZel in a wedding dress! You're even blushing about it! Are you going to fantasize about marrying her? Speaking of fantasizing, she's really hot, too bad it wasn't lingerie or you'd have something to do tonight." With that Aryll tossed the phone to her older brother and continued, "Well I have to get to class now, so you'll be nice and alone to fantasize all you want." With that being said, Aryll grabbed her school bag and walked out the door.
"Bitch." Link said to himself before placing his phone back on the kitchen table and running his fingers through his hair. Did he even want to look at the picture anymore? Well yes. Link sighed a little bit, opened his phone, and found the message Malon sent him earlier. After looking at the picture of the gorgeous blonde in an equally beautiful wedding dress Link smiled to himself before saying, "Goddesses, I wish she was trying on lingerie."
So question; who else thought this chapter was the cheesiest thing you've ever read? I did. It's only going to get worse too. Great! But on another note I love Aryll, she's my favorite character to write for. She's just so, mischievous? Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter despite the wait (and the fact it was lame). Don't forget to rate and review!
