Chapter 2: The Dance
The next day Link wakes up and finds Roy and Marth gone. Link sits up, rubs his eyes, and sighs, "They're probably off with their new girlfriends." He gets out of bed, grabs his music equipment, his ocarina, and leaves his room.
He goes outside and sits on a bench not to far from the front of the ship (by a railing). He starts playing a relaxing song.
"What's that called?" said a woman behind him
Link stops playing and looks behind him to see Zelda looking down at him. "Oh, hi Zelda.. This," he holds up his ocarina, "is called an ocarina and that song I was playing...well I kinda made it up."
"Really?" she sits next to him, "that's amazing."
"You think so," he rubs the back of his neck, "it's nothing special."
"So, you write music?"
"Yup."
"And do you publish them?"
"Oh no." he shook his head
"Why not? You could make lots of money." Zelda stated
"Yeah, but I don't really care about money. I just play the songs for my friends and myself."
"Oh..." was all she could manage to say
Link looked at her and changed the subject, "So, how's things going for you?" she looks at him confused, "What?" Link asked
"Why do you care about me or what happens in my life?" Zelda asked
He shrugs his shoulders, "Just curious."
"Oh," she looks at her lap, "my life is aweful..."
"Is that why you tried to jump?"
"I was sick of everything... everyone wants to control my life...and nobody cares about me..." a tear slid down her cheek.
"I care about you."
She quickly looks back at him, "I'm sorry?"
"Uh, I mean, you know as in...um..." he rubs the back of his neck again and his face turns red. She smiles. Link looks back at her, "You have a beautiful smile."
She blushes, "Really? Wow, no one's ever told me that..."
"What? No way! What about your fiance, Dan?"
She chuckled, "Dan...Tch, he could care less about me... All he wants is my money, and my parents are too stupid to see because..." she did not finish her statement
"Because what?" Link asked curious
"...Never mind... it's not important... So, you ready for today?"
"Huh? What's today?"
She giggles, "The dance silly."
He quickly stands up, "Oh crap! I totally forgot!" he gathers his things, "Um, I'll see you later, bye."
She slightly laughs, "Bye."
"Oh, by the way, my name is Link."
"Haha, it's about time you tell me your name. Hehe. It was very nice talking to you Link." she smiles
"Yeah." Link smiles, "It was nice talking to you too Zelda." he leaves
Zelda sighs, "I guess I should get ready myself." she heads to her room
Link puts his music stuff on his bed and paces back in forth in his room. "What am I going to wear? What am I going to wear?" He kept repeating the same phrase over and over
Marth walks in and looks at Link confused, "Hey Link?"
"What am I going to wear?" he kept repeating
"Link!" Marth shouted him out of Link's trance of freaking out.
"Huh?" Link looks at Marth, "Oh hey Marth, when did you get here?"
"Just a few seconds ago... what are you doing?"
"I'm thinking what I should wear..."
"I gathered that, but for what?"
"A dance...ah skrew it! I'm not going!" he shouted in frustration and sat down on his bed
"Wait, you're going to a dance? Why weren't we invited?"
"Zelda invited me..."
"Ha! I knew you had a thing for her! That's that one chick right?"
"Yes, and I don't have a thing for her..." he sighs, "I have nothing good to wear to a dance..."
"I might have something you could borrow." Marth suggested
"Really?" Link stood up
"Yeah, hold on," he goes to his closet and digs out a black tuxedo, "I brought this along 'cause I thought I could pick up chicks or something. My father gave it to me years ago and I bring it with me for who knows why, but I can let you borrow it for this dance. I'm sure we have the same size."
Link took the tuxedo and examined it, "You sure I can borrow this man?"
"Why not? I'm sure Zelda will love you now, I mean, the tux of course." he smirked
Link blushes, "Shut up, man." Link goes to the bathroom and changes into the tuxedo. He walks out of the bathroom and looks in the mirror checking himself out. Link smiles, "You think it's too much?"
"Nope, I give it 2 thumbs up bro."
Roy walks in the room and looks at Link shocked, "Woah, why is Link in a tux?"
"He has a date with the Zelda chick." Marth said with a smirk
"Oooooooooo way to go Link." Roy commented
Link sighs, "It's not a date; she invited me to a dance...Although she is beautiful and is nice once I got to talk to her..."
"Haha, I knew you two had a secret thing for each other. Have fun at the dance buddy." Roy cheered.
"Good luck." Marth said
Link smiled, "Alright, thanks...Bye guys." Link walks out of the room
"Bye!" both Roy and Marth shout out of the room
Link arrives at the section where the dance is being held, in the class A area. He walks to the doors that leads to Forestwaker, the ball room. The only problem was that there were 2 guards blocking the way.
Link walks up to the guards, "Um, can I come in?"
"Do you have an invitation?" stated one of the guards
"Well, uh, no, but—"
"Then why don't you come back when you have an invitation."
"Like he would ever get an invitation." said the other guard and they both joined in laughter.
"He's with me!" a woman yelled from behind Link.
Link turned around to find Zelda in a beautiful pink dress. It was a strapless light pink dress with ruffles and she wore long white gloves.
Link mumbled, "Wow..."
Zelda giggles, "Do I really look that nice?"
"Nice? You look beautiful!" Link stated
Zelda smiles, "Well, you really know how to clean up. You look very nice Link."
"What, this old thing." Link fixes his jacket, "It does look nice doesn't it?" he chuckles as she slightly laughs. "May I escort you to the dance miss?" he sticks his elbow out
"Why of course good sir." she takes his arm
The 2 guards move out of the way as Link and Zelda walk into the ball room together. Link noticed that everyone was just standing around chatting except a few couples. "Wow, no offense, but this dance seems a little lame."
"Oh, don't worry it is, hehe, but I'm sure with you here it'll be fun." she smiles at Link and he smiles back at her.
"Oh hey, where's your parents and Mr. Dan?" Link asked not knowing what else to say
"I'm not sure...honestly I don't care."
"Alrighty then, would you care to dance?"
She smiles, "I'd love to."
They go to the dance floor and Link puts his hands around her waist and Zelda puts her arms around Link's neck and they begin to talk about anything that comes to mind.
"So Link, what about your parents?" Zelda asked
"Oh, they died a long time ago..." Link told her
"Oh, I'm so sorry Link..." she frowned
"It's ok...there are times that I really miss them... but I know their watching out for me...enough about my boring life what about you." he asked curious to learn more about her
"My life is pretty boring as well. I have no real friends, my parents are forcing me to marry a man I don't even love and— oops." she puts one of her hand over her mouth.
He smiles, "I'm pretty sure it was kinda obvious."
She sighs and puts her arm back around Link's neck, "Ok, I guess it shows... I don't love Dan and I never will..."
"Isn't there a way to stop it?"
"No, I don't think so … wait why do you care?"
"Well, uh..."
"Link?"
"What? Can't I care about you?" Link asked
She smiles, "Well, if you mean it."
"Of course I do."
"I'm glad to hear that." she said still smiling
"Zelda?"
"Yeah."
"I..." Their faces were brought closer but Link slowly backs away a little, "So how long is the dance?"
She sighs softly, "It's only about 2 hours or so."
"Well," he back away, "Let's get this party started, while I learn more about you." he said with a smile
"Not if I learn more about you first." Zelda smirked
Then a few upbeat songs play but most of the dance were slow dances, and waltz.
"I didn't know you knew how to waltz." Zelda said
"I didn't either." Link joked
Zelda laughs as they continue to laugh together and dance some more. The hours pass and the last dance, which was a slow song, began to play. "May I have this last dance Zelda?" Link asked as he held his hand out while slightly bowing.
She laughs, "Of course Link." she took his hand and wrapped her arms around his neck again and Link this time held Zelda closer to him then he did before. Zelda slightly blushed but didn't mind being so close. She leans against his chest as they slow danced together.
"So, how did you like the dance?" Zelda asked
"I had a blast, how about you?" Link asked
She sighs happily, "The best night of my life..."
"Surely you've had better dances then this?"
"Yes, but you weren't there..."
He blushes and smiled, "Hey Zelda?"
She lifts her head and faces Link, "Yes?"
"I had a great time tonight," he rubs her cheek with his thumb, "and I'm glad I got to meet you."
"I don't want you to leave, Link"
he smiles again while still rubbing her cheek, "I'm not going anywhere, well not until I get kicked out."
She chuckles, "Link, I don't think I've ever laughed this much in my entire life." she puts her hand on his hand that on her cheek. "Your touch feels nice." she whispers
He moves his hand under her chin and pulls her into a passionate kiss. Zelda quickly kisses him back and she slowly puts her arms back around his neck as Link put his hands to her cheek and bringing her closer into a deeper kiss. Seconds turned into minutes as they finally separated. Link whispers, "Sorry..."
Zelda smiles and shook her head; she backed away and tried to hold back tears, "I'm sorry Link." she took off but before she went to far Link shouted, "Wait!" he ran up to her, "when will I see you again?"
"...I don't know..." she then ran off
Link cursed under his breath and headed back to his room. He walks in his dark room and slams the door shut behind him, "Damn it! Where's the light?" he turns the light on, sits on his bed, and repeats 'I'm an idiot' over and over.
Roy walks in the room and again looks at Link confused, "Um, Link?" he kept repeating I'm an idiot again and again. "Well Link, I already knew that.
"Shut up Roy!" Link shouted but not so loud
"Alright, sorry." Roy said defensively
Link sighs, "Sorry Roy, I'm just...mad..."
"What happened?"
"...Well for starters, I got the kiss of my life that was so awesome... and it was from Zelda...who has a fiance..."
"Way to go Link— o you said fiance...not cool..."
Link got up from his bed, "I need to get some fresh air."
"Ok...good luck with this situation Link."
"Right..." He left the room and went towards the part of the ship no one ever goes to. He sighs and hears someone coming
"Haha, no way." Link turns around and saw Marth with his 'girlfriend'. "Oh. Hey Link." Marth greeted.
"...Hey..."
"What's wrong?"
"Ok, you have a girl, you can hang out with her , she doesn't have a fiance, nooooooo, she's not taken!"
"Um, no?" Marth said confused
"Come on Marth, I need your help."
"Uh...ok, bye."
"Bye, Link." Brittney waves. They leave him standing there
"Oh yeah, thanks for your help!" Link shouted
"You're welcome!" they shout back
"Yeah...thanks..." Link clutches his fist and goes to a railing looking out to the ocean.
Marth tells Brittney, "I think I should talk to him more serious tomorrow."
"Alright."
Link watches the ocean for another hour trying to clear his thoughts, but couldn't stop thinking about Zelda. So, while still thinking about Zelda he went back to his room to go to bed.
