A/N- Ah, spiritofwater, I'm finally writing a chapter. I thought that I might as well. :P
Disclaimer- No, I don't own Zelda.
"Oh, it's so early in the morning..." Link yawned, stretching.
"That's your opinion," Chelsya muttered, making Shiroi walk a bit faster so she could be in front of him. Link scowled.
"Can't you two be at peace for two minutes?" Alayana mumbled, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
"I can, but the dear little Blood Knight seems incapable of doing so," Link growled, glaring daggers at her.
"Oh, shut up," Chelsya snapped, pushing her hair out of her face.
They were on the road again, and the two seemed to be back to the way they were before: trying at every instant possible to scream at each other. It was getting rather tiresome for Alayana, who merely wanted to have a peaceable journey to... to... to wherever it was that they were going.
"Excuse me, Link, but where are we going?" Alayana asked, glancing at the pouting eighteen-year-old.
He sighed and said, "To Ordon. I need to bring all the news and let everyone know that I'm okay. Plus, I'm not sure if Milly's mom, Raemmy, even knows what fate befell her."
Link choked up as he mentioned Milly. His first love... who had died when he was within inches of reaching her and saving her. She had managed to slip through his fingers, leaving him feeling so terribly alone. This had only happened two or three months previously.
Chelsya's brow furrowed, but she didn't say anything. Although Alayana couldn't read minds, she got the general picture. Chelsya was in love with Link, and he was still in love with Milly. It had to be annoying to be in love with someone who is in love with someone who is dead.
"Wow, I've never been to Ordon," Alayana said, trying to change the subject quickly. "Is it pretty? Is it big? Do you like it?"
Link laughed. "I think that it's pretty. Sort of country sweetness, I guess. And big...? Not so much. I mean, it's grown a lot in the past few years, but it's still pretty small. I love it. Something about the freedom of peace... about the freedom of just living on a farm and watching cows eat grass. I dunno. It's just kind of soothing."
"Were you mad when you had to leave?" Alayana asked, happy that he had forgotten about Milly.
"Very," he stated. "But I had to save the world. It had to be done."
"I probably could have saved the world without this mess-up that some people have christened a Hero," Chelsya bragged.
"You could not!" Link exclaimed.
"I could, too," she shot back. "Seriously, I haven't died once on this journey, and you've died twice! It just proves that I'm awesome, and you're a zombie!"
"A zombie?!" Link cried. "You think I'm a ZOMBIE?!"
"Oh, wait, no," Chelsya said. "You can't be a zombie, you're too ugly."
"Fine, you want to die, I'll let you die," Link snapped, taking out his sword and giving her the death glare.
"Oh, you couldn't kill me if you tried," she hissed.
"Whoa, hold up!" Alayana cried. It was true that before they had yelled at each other, not spoken to each other, played pranks on the other... but never had they gone to physical violence against the other. Shedding blood when they were on the same team just hadn't seemed possible... until now.
"Why?!" Link growled. "We were bound to kill one or the other sooner or later... why not now?!"
"For once, I can't help but agree with the idiot," Chelsya said, taking out her own sword.
"Shut up!" Link shouted.
"Erg, this is so irritating! Can't you two just kiss and make up?!" Alayana demanded. "This stupid! Fighting against each other... Chelsya, you need to stop teasing Link at every chance you can get! On this team, we're all equal. Link, you need to stop getting so mad at every little thing that Chelsya says. You need to remember that it's just her way of showing affection. You two are so pathetic if an eleven-year-old has to tell you this load of crap!"
Link and Chelsya stared at her. Several times they tried to form words, but no noise came from their lips. Finally, Link burst out laughing.
"She nailed us!" He cried, hunching over. "She's got us nailed to the wall! Ah ha ha!"
"S-stop laughing!" Chelsya cried, her face turning red. "Ugh, these feels like the old days with Merit and his weird, immature friends!"
"Both of you, say you're sorry," Alayana said flatly, folding her arms. "I'm going to treat you two like five-year-olds for as long as I have to."
"Alright then," Link said, sheathing his sword and turning to Chelsya. "I'm sorry, Chels. I need to work on keeping my anger in check."
Chelsya looked the other way, acting like a young girl who doesn't want to apologize. "Whatever."
"Say you're sorry or I'll make you, young lady!" Alayana shouted, folding her arms.
"Okay, okay, jeez!" Chelsya cried. "I'm sorry."
"Like you mean it!" Alayana shouted. "Like, put your feelings into it!"
"Okay, fine, whatever..." Chelsya muttered, and stared straight at Link. "Link, I'm sorry that I can tell you the truth when you can't see it yourself."
"What was that?!" Link demanded.
Alayana kicked Chelsya, being that she was right in front of her on Shiroi. Chelsya glared at Alayana, took a deep breath, then looked at Link.
"Fine. I'll apologize for real. Link, I'm sorry I was a jerk. It's in my nature. I'll try to get better." She turned to the eleven-year-old, frowning. "That good enough for you?"
"You have to give him a big kiss now!" Alayana cried, acting like a little girl.
"I'll do that when Ganondork comes back to life to eat my brains!" Chelsya snapped, making Shiroi go into a sudden trot.
"Hey, wait up!" Link called, making Epona go faster. It was turning out to be quite an interesting day.
"Ordon..." Link muttered, looking at the map. "It's two days from here."
"Two days?!" Chelsya whined. "But I'm hunnngggrryyyy..."
"If any of us are children here, raise their right hand. If not, raise your left," Alayana said.
Link raised his left. Chelsya raised her left. Alayana raised her left. Link grabbed Chelsya's left hand, put it back down, and made her raise her right hand, grinning madly. Chelsya whacked him in the back of the head, then raised her other hand.
"What was the point of this?" Link asked after they had all put their hands down.
"I wanted to see how you would react," Alayana replied simply.
"You mean like how Link did, with immaturity and idiocy?" Chelsya asked, glaring at him.
"I thought it was funny!" He protested.
"Yes, precisely. It says a lot about you two. Also, neither of you bothered to notice the fact that I raised my left hand, and I happen to be child. That means that you pay more attention to each other than you do to me. Interesting, really," Alayana murmured.
Both Link and Chelsya's faces turned bright red. They both shouted at the same time, but said different things.
"Are you suggesting something?!" Link demanded.
"There is no way, even if I was an idiot just like him, that I could like this jerk like that!" Chelsya cried.
"It was merely something that I noticed, no need to get so fired up. Besides, I already know how you both feel about each other." At this, Alayana smirked. Chelsya's face turned even redder, if possible.
"Whatever!" The eighteen-year-old shouted. "Let's just get to Ordon already!"
"It's night, though!" Link cried.
"Well, I don't care!" Chelsya shouted. "I'm ready to go! And this means we'll get there faster!"
As she got on her horse and checked to make sure that all of her bags were there, Link sighed. "Someone's entergetic today, am I right?"
Alayana gave a soft smile. "Yes, I suppose she is. Let's just go with it, okay?"
"Might as well," Link said, chuckling.
"What are you two giggling about over there?!" Chelsya demanded. "I'll bet that it's not even funny!"
"Oh, you wouldn't, my dear little Chelsya," Link replied. "Trust me."
"Ergg... I'll get you one of these days!"
A/N- Yeah, so, um, R&R. No flames, please. Thanks for reading.
