This was their tenth show though their producer, Shad, was calling it a tour. Link often found the man highly annoying and had recently learned that Shad was not paying them all the royalties owed... true, it was only a dollar or so per member but they had sold almost a hundred albums since the CD was put out two weeks ago. It was a small number but LOZ was happy with it.

Link leaned against the large bass speaker that Mido had brought with them though the Kokiri had not lifted a finger to help carry the monsterous thing onstage. No, the curly, red head had instead walked over to the bar where he began to hit on the bartender who was by all rights much to pretty to be in her occupation.

Saria was playing "Winter Wind Etude" by Chopin on her keyboard while she waited for the headlining band to show up. Her fingers, nimble as they were, danced across the false ivories while she lost herself in the power of the notes that played. Music was, indeed, a very powerful thing.

Darunia glanced over to his girlfriend and a look of such deep affection washed over his face that Link knew in that instant that the Goron would be with Saria for the rest of his life. Darunia smiled when Saria glanced up at him then returned to manuvering his drums where he felt they were the most comfortable... though they would all return to the orignal place he had set them.

Link's guitar had been tuned previously to everyone else and all he was waiting on now was vocal check... Zelda as well.

Evelyn and Sandra were at this gig with Shiek sitting beside the two for Cremina had offered to stay home while he went out with his friends. The three were chatting, laughing, and completely unaware that the Zelda might come home that night.

It happened while Link was in the middle of checking his Vocals...

The door opened, silently, but the light from the street poured in over her lithe frame.

A corset, black-silver spiderwebs over bright red, hugged her chest, waist, and left her mid-drift just visible enough to tantalize. Jeans, dark blue, hugged her just as tight while knee high black boots covered the rest of her. Golden hair swept down to her waist, pale skin glowed next to violet eyes, red lips smirked, and Triforce earrings hung from pointed ears.

Link's mouth had dropped open and her name had whispered from his lips in a barely audible sound. Zelda had always been beautiful to him but never potently sexy. "Zelda?" He spoke, louder.

She smiled, held up the Rock sign, and laughed. "Hey." There was a moment of pure, utter chaos in which Evelyn, Saria, Sandra, Darunia, Shiek, and Link all dashed over to embrace the woman they had not seen in one whole year. Zelda beamed the whole time even when her mother was screaming at her.

"How could you do that to me?" Sandra wept, shaking the girl's shoulders. "Where did you even get the money to do it?"

Zelda sighed, happily, and took a seat in a nearby bar stool. "One, I needed to do it and I knew if I told anyone that I would be forced to go the intellectual route and just not go. Two, I needed to be away from everyone to get my head out of everything except, well, my head... and I saved up my money, did a couple odd jobs when I needed, also, Shiek loaned me some too." She paused and untied a large bag from her hip then tossed it to her twin. "That should cover it."

"Where did you get that?" Sandra cried, collapsing into a stool next to her daughter who merely shrugged.

"I won it off of a Mask Salesman in a card game." Zelda then turned to Link and smiled. "Thank you." Everyone seemed confused by those two words but no one questioned it as it seemed a private matter.

"No problem." They embraced and for a moment Link felt like he couldn't breath as he squeezed her against his chest. He kissed her cheek, softly, and whispered to where only she could hear. "I could never hate you, Zelda Rayne Harkinian."

Mido ran out for pizza. though he was very reluctant to do so, while Zelda answered every question as fast as they were fired back at her and it was clear to everyone that the girl had changed. True, she looked the same though she dressed differently but there was an air of confidence about her that radiated from her porcelain skin... she knew that she was pretty and showed it off to an extent, she knew that she was smart and did not have to brag about her College Education, and she planned less. The young woman who had left was very adament about having every little bit of her life planned out... those plans had been severly derailed after her attack and she took control of it by going wild.

To everyone's surprise, however, Zelda did not mention any romances.

Saria jumped on this. "So, did you meet anyone?"

"Plenty of people, yeah, but no one worth mentioning." Zelda smirked. "So, no, I didn't sleep with anyone. Still a virgie."

Saria laughed at Sandra's face and grabbed onto the bar to hold herself up. "Wow, Zelda, just wow."

"Where did you go first?" Shiek smiled. "Because we got so many random postcards from all over Hyrule, Termina... Greece... and, of course, Hollywood, that it kinda got confusing especially cause of the dates."

Zelda grinned at her twin's question. "Oh, yeah, about that." She stretched out and laughed. "I went to the Great Bay, first, but I didn't mail you the card until after I sent you the two from the Gerudo Desert... the last was Ikana Canyon, of course."

"You'll have to give us an in-depth story of your adventure." Evelyn smiled, arms around Sandra's waist. "Maybe it could be a book someday! "Tales of a Teenage Calculator"."

Zelda went to reply to her mother's lover when a hand tapped on her shoulder. Zelda turned and looked deep into cobalt eyes. "Hm?"

"So, we're going on in five minutes."

"We?" Zelda bit her lip, excited and near speechless.

"Get your ass onstage, Princess." Link laughed. "I hope you remember all of these songs."

"Link." Zelda blushed, wrapping one arm around his waist as they walked side by side to the stage. "I bought the CD and was learning it this whole time."

"Good." Link beamed. "Because we kinda have very important people in the crowd."

"A critic?"

"Ours Moms."

Some months later...

The phone dropped from fingerless, gloved hands and crashed onto the floor with a resounding shatter.

Saria, Darunia, Mido, and Zelda all turned around and stared, curiously, at their singer from where they were watching Nightmare on Elm Street. "Link?" Zelda's voice cut through the character's, Lisa, screams and settled in the air for a moment before the twenty-one year old met her eyes.

He had walked into the Living Room after talking to somone for the entire length of Army of Darkness but none of his friends had noticed his return until the phone had smashed against the ground. Link's eyes were almost watery and his had a slightly unsettling grin on his face. "Guys...?"

Darunia frowned. "Dude, you're scaring me. Stop it."

"Have you ever heard of ProgPower?"

Zelda smirked. "Well, duh. We're a Prog band, Link." A pause. "What about it?"

The words slipped from his lips and the other four members gapped before Zelda turned the T.V off and commanded Link to repeat himself. The next time, Link screamed it. "WE'RE PLAYING PROGPOWER!"
