Zelda came in a black tank top, pony tail up, Triforce earrings, pink fishnet gloves, studded belt hanging on her hips, skinny jeans, and knee high converse. She had make-up on and keys to her Father's motorcycle in her hand. There was an air about the just turned eighteen year old that screamed bad ass, sexy bitch.
It was a month after their first rehearsel had exploded like the fireworks show at Disney World. Magick had happened that night and they smoothed out several of Link's songs... tonight they would be played. It was their school's annual Talent Show which was bigger than it sounded because nearly everyone at Skyloft thought they had a talent, a third of them really did.
Malon jumped off stage, smiled at Link, and glanced at Zelda...twice. "Holy Nayru, Zellie, I didn't even know that was you!"
The young woman rarely wore clothes that showed off her lithe figure, in fact, she was known for dressing in neat outfits that hid her body very well. Zelda smirked. "I wanted to try something different tonight... You did great!" She frowned. "But, um, where's Cremina?"
"Thanks!" Malon beamed. "You'll do good too." The Rancher had not held her grudge long against the other woman long. "Um, she is off somewhere with your brother..."
"Great." Zelda rolled her eyes and turned around, running straight into Link who was attempting to sneak up behind her to pull her hair out of its ponytail. "Can I help you?"
He smiled. "Take your hair down."
"No." Zelda laughed, snatched up her guitar, and took his hand. "Come on, amigo, we're up next."
Link chuckled, his bass on his back, and lifted Darunia's bass drum onto his shoulder. "You realize that you're gonna blow everyone out of the water, right? They don't expect little Miss Conservative to be able to play a heavy groove."
Zelda smirked. "We're the outcasts, Link, we're born into this world with the element of surprise."
"Still." His eyes drifted down her body and when he saw that he had been caught checking his friend out, Link grinned at her. "What?"
"Stop." Zelda glared with a bit more seriousness to her voice then usual.
Link frowned, a nagging feeling that something was different about her was planting itself in his mind. He shrugged it off, or attempted to, and helped his band finish getting prepped.
"Alright, , what's your band's name?" Rauru, the Principal, asked with impression that he did not expect much from them.
"The Legend of Zelda."
A sigh. "Alright, then, proceed."
Saria began with an odd technical sound, her eyes calm, then looked at the golden blonde guitarist.
Zelda grinned, evilly, and raised her hand then strummed it across the strings of her ebony electric guitar that jump started the song named "Mislead". Link took a breath, Zelda's energy surging through him, his fingers moved to the notes he had wrote down only a year ago... and then he sang. His voice was raspy, a seduction of Metalist's vocals.
"You think that I'm losing my mind
you think that I'm hoplessly blind
you think that I'm weak, but I'm strong
you think that you're right, but you're wrong.
You don't"
Behind him Darunia began to do the screaming that the Goron had practiced for weeks. "You don't"
"Have a (have a) clue, do you?
Nothing you say
nothing you do
matters to me
its really nothing new
so laugh all you want
cause I don't give a damn
I'm not,
I'm not who you think I am.
You think I'm just a disgrace
you think I'm just a waste of a space
you think that I'm dumb,
well nice try,
you think that I'm lost, its a lie.
*chorus*
You don't know the first thing,
you don't know the first thing
about me."
Link glanced over at Zelda and grinned as her hips swayed in time, her ponytail swinging over head as she rocked out, her slender fingers breezed over the guitar with ease. Darunia screamed about how badass they sounded, Saria just beamed, and the vocals... the music soon took Link back over.
"Nothing you say,
nothing you do,
matters to me
its really nothing new,
so, laugh all you want
cause I don't give a damn
cause I'm not, I'm not
who you think I am.
*repeat*"
The song ended with two chords and left the gymnasium in silence as the other auditioners, some parents, classmates, friends, all looked on... then they erupted.
Zelda glowed with happiness, hugged Darunia when he grabbed her, then walked to the stage for a united bow. "Well, Link... I think they liked it."
The next day, the school knew what The Legend of Zelda was made of... and they wanted more.
