Aloha viewers. Just as a forewarning, updates probably won't be quite as frequent once school starts (August 9th, sooooo early).

Also, I'm SO sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes. I get really excited when I write and the words flow out faster than I can type. I promise to proof-read muchhhhhh better from now on. I also went back and fixed the first two chapters and I personally feel like less of an idiot now.

Anywho, I now present you:

Chapter 3

Link sighed and half-heartedly tried to listen to Anju ramble on about how she'd caught Nayru hooking up with Ralph in the auditorium. Her animated expressions and gestures kept the rest of their group interested, which included Ilia, Pipit, Maple, and Kafei, but for some strange reason, he felt more content to swirl around his red drink and daydream than to engage with them.

What was wrong with him?! He couldn't focus. Everything he looked at reminded him of the blonde-haired beauty he'd met earlier. She was so, so,… nice. He'd almost forgotten that people actually had manners. He'd done his best to behave, but he was so used to sarcasm and flirting that her shyness was almost shocking. I mean, here he was, listening to someone talk about some slut banging her stalker on a stage. And that was normal. Zelda would surely be torn to pieces within days, or worse, she would change.

Pipit's voice snapped him out of his dream state and his eyes opened, glancing around and trying to calculate what he had missed.

"Middy!" Pipit shouted, standing from their table and walking over to greet who Link assumed was Midna. He couldn't help but notice Anju shoot Pipit an annoyed look, pouting because he had interrupted her.

"Hey, who is that?" Ilia asked, looking warily at the entrance.

Link's eyes went straight past Midna's bright orange hair and came to rest on the less striking-looking person beside her. He felt his heart flutter at the sight of Zelda standing there, awkwardly grasping her arm at the elbow as Midna and Pipit embraced.

Suddenly wanting to save her from the awkward situation, Link felt himself stand and walk quickly to the scene, unable to contain his grin. Just my luck, he thought. Good Goddess, she is stunning.

"Hey!" he blurted, "I'm glad you guys could make it. I was hoping I'd see you again."

Pipit nudged him with his elbow, wobbling Midna who was currently tucked under his arm like a football. He glanced at his friend briefly, who was wiggling his eyebrows. Link gave him a dirty look and turned his attention back to Zelda, who noticed the obvious exchange.

"I was just going to go to bed, but Midna convinced me otherwise," she smiled timidly, a bit of color rising to her cheeks.

Her cuteness overwhelmed him, and before he could be shy about it, he was taking her hand. "Would you come sit with me?"

Her face brightened. "Yes! I mean," she coughed, waving her hand, "yeah, sure." She looked pointedly at the orange haired Twili girl. "Midna?"

Said girl untangled herself from Pipit's arm. "Go ahead girl, I'm going to order something to drink. Meetcha in a sec." She waved her hand nonchalantly and moved towards the bartender.

He was about to pull her playfully toward his friends, when he noticed Sheik slipping through the café's front door. He wore a simple black v-neck and dark jeans, his shaggy blonde hair falling in his face the way he knew girls liked it. His signature gold pendant of the triforce dangled just above his pecs. Link watched for a millisecond as Sheik's red gaze swept over the crowd, pausing slightly at Midna, but finally resting on the blonde woman in front of him. A look of shock and maybe-affection?-overtook the man, and his eyes widened.

Oh, great. Sheik is totally going to want her. Better let him know that I called dibs, Link thought, inwardly groaning at the thought of fighting with one of his closest friends.

But what came out of Sheik's mouth was not what he had anticipated. Instead of yelling for their attention, his mouth gaped open once, twice, and the third time, he finally managed to spit it out.

"Sis?"

Huh?

Zelda turned, confused for a moment. But something seemed to register with her, and he felt her body jerk. "Sheik?"

The café hushed, and for a moment, everything was quiet except for the jazz music playing softly from the sound system. Zelda suddenly tore away from him and ran straight into an embrace with Sheik. And they laughed. And spinned. Never in his life did Link, or anybody think they would ever see Sheik show so much emotion at one time.

Sheik placed the blonde back to the ground and ruffled her hair playfully. "Zellie! It really is you! You don't look a thing like you did the last time I saw you."

Zelda giggled and punched him roughly in the shoulder. "Don't treat me like I'm five!"

Link looked at Pipit, who returned his questioning glance with a shrug.

"Link! Midna!" Zelda called, waving them over. "This is my big brother, Sheik. I haven't seen him since he came to live on campus…" she trailed off, the blush returning to her cheeks. She averted her eyes to the floor, tapping her lips. "Sorry for causing a scene."

Sheik grinned and gave Link a look. "So, let me get this straight," he said, shifting his gaze to Zelda, "it's your first day here, and you're already canoodling with my best friend?"

The look on Zelda's face was priceless. She looked from Sheik to Link, her big blue eyes going wide. "You're-you two-you know…?"

Just then, Midna rejoined them, toting a fruity drink. "Heyyy Sheik! Buddy ole' pal! I understand that this is a big moment for you and all, seeing your sister, but everyone is kind of staring at you guys. So let's just move back to the table, shall we?" She ushered them away from the front door, finally allowing a Zora couple to come through. They shot the group a dirty look, but Midna just stuck her tongue out.

Link turned to say something to Zelda, but at that moment the blonde was being jerked backwards by the other feisty Twili. He shrugged and chuckled, letting Midna drag poor Zelda away. He made sure to keep an open chair beside him.

"You did not tell me that THE Sheik Harkinian is your brother!" Midna squealed as soon as she had locked her and Zelda in the one-room bathroom of the café.

"You didn't ask his name! You just asked if he was hot," Zelda replied, daintily closing the lid of the porcelain toilet and plopping herself down.

"And you fucking bet he is! He is one of the hottest, most wanted, most popular guys in the entire Academy!" Midna swooned, fanning her face.

"Well," Zelda said thoughtfully, "he's just Big Brother to me. I didn't know he was doing so well for himself." She gulped. If her brother was so popular, would everyone expect her to be as cool as he was?

Midna clapped her hands together and rubbed them evilly. "Who would have known the girl with the big lady balls would turn out to be the little and beloved sister of Mr. Tall-Dark&Handsome? This could open so many doors of opportunity!"

Zelda sighed. Why did her brother have to leave such a big shoe to fill?

Midna extended her hand to her sitting friend, expression turning soft. "Don't even stress about it, hun. Listen to what Link said and be yourself. You'll make the right kind of friends."

Zelda took her blue hand and nodded, smiling again. "I'll do my best, Captain."

"Good. Now, let's go have some fuuuun!" Midna cheered, clicking the lock out of place and pulling her out of the bathroom and into the short hallway. For a moment, Zelda was taken aback by the sudden mood change of the girl. But, after a moment, her face and body relaxed and she couldn't stop the small smile of appreciation from playing on her lips. Though Zelda had only known Midna for a few hours at most, she couldn't be more grateful to have someone to call a friend. Just this afternoon, she had been dumped into practically a whole new world. Thankfully, a rambunctious Twili girl was here to guide her.

I know that half of this chapter is kind of a recap, but I wanted to delve into Link's personality and feelings a bit more. The POV will mainly be Zelda's but alas, I am an omniscient author and I can do whatever the F I want! Mwahaha! Meaning that you will see the perspective of the main characters in due time.

I was itching to post this chapter and get started on the next. Expect another update by Tuesday.

And with that note, PLS REVIEW :o

And shoutout to my current favorite author on FF who has taken the time to read and review this story, which is a spawn of inspiration created by her most popular Zelink fic. Thanks Miss Ashlynn, it means a lot! ^-^
