Zelda slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She was lying in bed still half asleep, listening to the small sounds that came from around the house. Zelda blushed and then smiled as she recalled the events of the previous night. Dex jumped up onto the bed and stared into the blonde's eyes with his usual blank expression, letting out a small moew.

"I've got a date tomorrow." Zelda said happily to the cat, who just sat there and stared.

Zelda looked back up towards the ceiling and thought again about her plans for Friday, getting excited all over again. The blonde still couldn't believe that Leah had actually asked her on a date, it all seemed like a dream. A dream Zelda was worried she had just woken up from. She still felt embarrassed about accidentally kissing Leah, even if it lead to being asked out. Zelda touched her lips blushing, remembering how good it had felt. It wasn't exactly the way she wanted her first kiss to go, she only had herself to blame for that. 'Classic Zelda' she thought to herself, as she rolled her eyes with sigh. Still, she actually gotten a date! And a date with Leah no less.

"Oh my Yoba!" Zelda shouted out loud, startling Dex in the process. "I've got a date with Leah!" She said as if the realisation had just hit her. "What am going to do?"

The idea no longer brought her extreme joy it only brought panic to the blonde's mind. She had no experience with dating, or anything even remotely close. What would she talk about? What would she wear? Launching herself out of bed Zelda threw on her clothes quickly. Grabbing a large apple for breakfast from the kitchen and making sure Dex's bowl was full of food she rushed out the door, making sure to grab her coat on the way. Zelda needed to talk to someone and she knew their was only one person she could trust. She knew Abigail usually went into the mines today so she had be quick other wise she would miss her. Taking the northern path from her farm she would be able to head around town and arrive near Robin's house up near the mountains. If she hurried she could intercept Abigail before she reached the mines. It wasn't as cold as usual, and it made being outside a lot more pleasant.

As she turned a corner Zelda bumped into Linus who was taking a morning stroll. The blonde fell backwards becoming dazed by the collision. Luckily Linus was a lot softer than most, so running into him wasn't as painful.

"Easy there Zelda, are you ok?" Linus said, gently helping up the young girl.

"Sorry Linus! I'm in a big hurry." Zelda responded as she dashed of leaving Linus chuckling.

Zelda passed by Robin's house and ran towards the mines. Running alongside the mountain lake she took notice of how peaceful the water looked, it reflected the sky perfectly. Zelda could see in the distance the figure of her friend walking along the side of the lake. She had her sword sheathed on her back and a large flashlight in her hand.

"Abigail!" Zelda shouted to her friend. "Wait!"

The shorter girl turned in surprise to see the blonde running up to her, completely out of breath.

"Hey, what's up?" Abigail said raising an eyebrow.

"I…need…your...help." Zelda said through gasps.

"Just slow down, catch your breath." Abigail said leading the blonde to take a seat by the water.

Zelda slowly caught her breath as Abigail waited patiently beside her, watching the clouds above for entertainment.

"So what's wrong you seemed pretty desperate to talk." Abigail said as she noticed the blonde had finally relaxed a bit.

"I need help."

"It's good that you're finally admitting it." Abigail teased with a laugh.

"Ha Ha." Zelda said, each word dripping with sarcasm. "I'm serious."

"Sorry, what is it?"

"L..Leah… asked me out on a date." Zelda said not looking her friend in the eye.

"Wait, for real?" Abigail said looking at her friend excitedly. "Congrats Zel! See I told you she liked you."

"Thanks bu-"

"Wait, wait, wait! Tell me everything that happened." Abigail said moving closer in anticipation.

"R..Really?" Zelda said a little embarrassed.

"Yea! Come on I want details!"

Zelda reluctantly explained what had happened only pausing in embarrassment when Abigail let out a few teasing 'oooh's and 'aaah's. By the time Zelda had finished the shorter girl was in a fit of laughter.

"I can't believe you accidentally kissed her!" She said laughing. "Real smooth, casanova."

"It wasn't my fault, I tripped!" Zelda said waving her arms around frantically.

"Whatever." Abigail said smirking. "I bet you weren't complaining though."

"Quit it!" Zelda shouted blushing heavily. Abigail only giggled in response. "Are you going to help me or what?"

"What do you need help with any way? You already got the girl."

"I am freaking out! I've never been on a date before. What do I need to know? What if I show up and I'm underdressed? What if I say something stupid? What if she's expecting more than just dinner? What do I do?" Zelda ranted before lying on in the snow and hinding her face in her hands. The snow made an easy cushion for the both to lie on.

"Calm down Zel." Abigail said gently. "I'm sure everything's going to be fine, you're thinking too much about this."

"But what if-"

"Just be yourself, that's all that Leah wants. I'm sure that she's just as nervous as you, about all this."

"I just don't want to mess this up."

"You won't, trust me." Abigail said placing a hand on her friend's shoulder. "You'll be fine you just need to relax. It's not like you've never spoken to her before, think of it like you're just hanging out with a friend."

"Yea, your right." Zelda sighed, calming down. "I wonder what leah's thinking right now."

Leah was pacing back and forth in her cabin panicking about what she was going to do, Penny was with her watching with concern. Leah had called Penny and asked for her to come over saying that she had needed help and was desperate. Leah had explained mostly what happened but had started to freak out towards the end of the story.

"I'm such an idiot! What am I going to do?" Leah said still pacing around the room.

"I thought this is what you wanted?" Penny asked.

"I did, I just… I don't know."

"So she said yes?" Penny questioned making sure she was clear on what had happened.

"To be honest I'm shocked she really did. I didn't actually mean to ask her out… it just… kinda... Slipped out." Leah said trying not to facepalm as she remembered the events of last night.

"Well I guess you can count yourself lucky." Penny said happily.

"What am I going to do Penny? She's coming over tomorrow and I don't have a romantic bone in my body! I can't throw together a date last minute." Leah said starting to panic. "Ugh she's going to realise I'm a total loser."

"Leah you're not a loser, and you're not going to throw together a date last minute because you've got me." Penny said 'in a matter of fact' way. "You have all of today and tomorrow to prepare."

"Y..Yeah… your right… plenty of time." Leah said trying to convince herself.

"Now you go and buy some groceries and I'll start cleaning up here."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, you need something to serve for dinner tomorrow. You could use some air anyways."

"Uh... ok." Leah said grabbing her foraging basket and walking out the door.

The artist was thankful that Penny was being so helpful. Without her Leah would probably be curled up under her bed hyperventilating a that moment. Penny was right she did need some air, this gave her the time to actually process everything that was happening. It was pleasant outside, the brisk air felt refreshing on Leah's face. Leah had really just asked out her friend, and more surprisingly she had said yes. This was her first date with a girl and that in it self made Leah's head spin. A few months ago she didn't even realize she swung that way, and yet just yesterday she had kissed a girl for the first time. Granted it was by accident but that didn't mean she didn't like it.

Leah blushed at the thought, as she entered Pierre's store. Looking around it didn't take long for her to find the ingredients she would need for her salads, it was nice to know that all of Pierre's products were organic. Looking around the store Leah thought about what she could possibly make for dinner. She wasn't really sure what Zelda would like so she wandered around the store stumped, only stopping when in front of the frozen food section. The artist eyed a large frozen lasagna that was meant for two, and examined it. 'I hope this will do.' Leah thought to herself.

Leah paid quickly and headed back towards her home a little faster then usual. She knew she was being ridiculous but the artist couldn't help but feel nervous that if she ran into Zelda the meeting might be awkward. It didn't take long for her to get back home and when she opened her door she was surprised to find that Penny had managed to clean up some of the mess. Her paint trays had been arranged into neat piles and Leah was sure the floor had been swept.

"Wow Penny, this place looks great." Leah said surprised.

"It's not ready yet. There are still the dishes that need to be washed, and the paintings should be arranged." Penny said happily.

"Thanks for everything Penny, I don't know what I would do without your… did you strip the bed?" Leah asked, noticing the bed had been laid out with new sheets.

"I thought you could use fresh sheets, you might use it tomorrow night." Penny replied with a cheeky smile.

"What are you... " Leah began before realizing what Penny was talking about. The artist's whole face went red in an instant. "What! No! Thats not… Were not going to… Agggh." Leah yelled waving her arms around wildly.

Penny only laughed as she watched her friend nearly die of embarrassment.
