Aren't I awesome? I updated BEFORE my deadline which is pretty cool since one of my arms is in a sling. I have to say this may be my greatest chapter in 100 chances ever. After this you will hate me, I answer every question but then cause so many more to appear. All the other chapters have been leading up to this. I now pronounce the next chapter of 100 chances. =)

The last few days were interesting to say the least, as soon as they were run out of prep territory Darmani decided to find a way to sneak himself, Mikau and Dark into the ball. After many hours, and it was many, Link had finally convinced them not to sneak in or at the very least don't interfere with him and Zelda. But besides that nothing really important had happened until the night if the ball. Link was standing in front of mirror trying to get his messy blond hair somewhat decent looking, it wasn't going to happen so he just shook his head and it went back to normal. He was half way done dressing all he had to do was wait for his shirt cool down from the ironing, which was an adventure in itself. After five minutes he decided to put on his white button-up shirt. As Link slowly buttoned up each button he watched himself in the mirror just to make sure he didn't miss one. Right before the last button he looked at the scar that was forming where Deity had cut him, he quickly buttoned up the last button not wanting to see it. He had decided not to wear a tie that was one adventure he didn't want to go on. As his blazer was sitting on the chair in his small room, he realized he had yet to decide on a mask to wear.
He opened his chest in his room where he and his friends had hidden all of their masks in. He pulled one out, which was the all night mask; he quickly threw it onto his bed. He seemed to go through all the masks in his chest to the postman's mask to the blast mask. He went through all of them until there were five left; The Deku Mask, The Goron, The Zora, Fierce Deity's Mask, Majora's Mask, and his favorite mask. He knew his friends would kill him if he wore the first four masks, he really only had two decisions Majora's Mask, which wasn't really in the running, and his favorite mask. He quickly grabbed his favorite mask and ran down the stairs. As he ran out of the door he grabbed his blazer, couldn't forget that.
It took about ten minutes to get to the place the ball was being held at which was the Great Hylilian Hall. It was an enormous structure that seemed to be only rivaled with Zelda's home. His blazer was now on as well as his mask which was navy blue, the mask was carved for his face perfectly. It highlighted every feature on his face especially his deep blue eyes. If you didn't know who was under the mask you would never guess it was Link, he would probably be the last person you would think was under the mask. In front of the great doors that led to was a man wearing a suit similar to Link's except the man's was white.
Link slowly made his way over the man who had a huge clipboard in his hands. "Name sir?" the man asked without moving his eyes from the clipboard.
"I'm Zelda's date" said Link with a pretty big grin on his face.
"Name sir?" he asked again ignoring what Link had previously said. Link cursed himself in his head he should have known to ask Zelda what name she would put himself under. He thought for a minute then he thought of something.
"Linkon James Greene" he said slowly hoping he had said something similar to what Zelda had wrote down.
"Zelda will be waiting next to the door, she's been waiting for you" the man answered without looking at Link or now Linkon. Link froze how did Zelda know his fake name he had used as a child? He shrugged knowing he'd figure it out later. He opened the doors to the Great Hall and was surprised it was bright, very bright; lights were everywhere along with gold decorations. The only thing that wasn't gold or white was a speck of pink that was right next to the door. He slowly made his way over to Zelda who was in a glittering pink dress and an elegant white mask that highlighted her eyes. She was looking around probably for him he guessed knowing she probably hadn't realized the guy walking to her was him.
As soon as they were face to face he said "Hey Zelda how do I look?"
She looked stunned at Link's sudden change in appearance. She quietly said "L-L-Link? You look- I mean you clean up nice". She was blushing madly she almost looked red as a tomato. Link grinned knowing she hadn't expected him to look this look; to her credit he hadn't either.
"You look-"he cut himself off before he said 'beautiful'. "Nice too" It was his turn to blush like a tomato. She giggled.
"Grab my arm you have to lead me into the hall, they call our names everyone says 'aww how cute'. We dance, then we eat, listen to my dad talk for awhile, listen to people talk to us, then you walk me home. That's it, ok?" Zelda explained.
"Got it, now Miss Hyrule mind taking my arm?" he said as he held his arm out. She blushed again and gladly took his muscular arm. They opened the door and were greeted with a gust of wind and a flash of light.
"Miss Zelda Hyrule and her date Mr. Linkon James Greene. Hmm she has good taste in men" The announcer proclaimed to all the people in the hall. To Zelda's credit about half the people in there did say 'Aww how cute'. Flashes of lights form cameras hit them as they walked down the long stairway. As soon as they reached the bottom they made their way to the table they were going to eat at, which just happened to be with Zelda's parents. They both took their seats and Link's just happened to be right next to the man he hated with a burning passion, Mr. Hyrule the Mayor from hell.
Out of no ware people with trays and trays of food appeared putting lots of food on their plates. As food seemed to literally pile up on their plates, Link had to really fight the urge to throw his face into the mountain of food. Zelda glared at him telling him don't do anything stupid or bad things would happen to both of them with her eyes.
"So Mr. Greene how come I've never heard of your family before?" Mr. Hyrule asked in a concerned tone or at least he was trying to weed out a punk.
"I live in Clock Town; Zelda called me up and asked me if I wanted to come to the ball. Of course I agreed and here I am" Link answered confidently.
"Zelda dear doesn't your class take your end of the year trip to Clock Town?" he asked as he took a bite of his steak.
"Yes father, the last few week of classes we go to Clock Town for the festival of time." Zelda answered politely. She seemed to smile as she took a sip of her water.
"So Mr. Greene you must know the legend about how the hero of time saved Clock Town from the evil Majora's Mask right?" he asked again, he was really trying to weed Link out.
"Yes sir" he responded as a soft tune started to play from the stage. "If you don't mind I think I'm going to dance with my date" he said as he swept Zelda out of her seat and into the dance stage.
A soft music filled the room as Link had his hands on Zelda's waist and Zelda's hands wrapped around Links neck.
Oh, oh...
It's only a matter of time
The roads are wrapped around your waist
They lead me place to place
I take trips from hip to hip
In fact, I've made a career of it
I always thought the left was your strongest side
But when it comes to you, I can't decide
"You were pretty good you tricked my father three times in one night, so what now Mr. Hero?" Zelda asked as she stared into Link's eyes.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
"Well first thing first mind telling me how you knew my fake name that I used when I was a kid?" Link asked back as he stared back into her eyes.
Oh, oh...
Like the climate
You never know what weather you'll get
No denying you're the habit that I can't quit
It's only a matter of, mine.
"No idea, I guess its fate that you got here isn't it?" she answered with a soft smile on her face.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I stay alive
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
It's only a matter of time.
"Maybe it is fate but I have a question you never explained why you asked me to the ball when a legion of handsome football players would go with you" he asked causing her to blush madly.
You're tainted, I'm shaking
I hope you turn around in time
Tide's changing, I'm waiting
You and I are one of a kind
(You're changing)
I've been a both of our fears
Over my sore ears
I still can't pick my favorite place
(don't make me)
The contour of your lips,
They match your continents
And I still love the way that you taste
"I don't know you tell me" she answered as she moved her lips closer to his as he did also.
I need the product of your fears
In the form of tears
It's the only way I can survive
It breaks my heart to see you cry
And baby, it's the only way I stay alive
(stay alive)
Green eyes, blue skies
Natural disasters when she cries
Green eyes, they're mine
It's only a matter of time.
(only a matter of time)
It's only a matter of time
As they moved their lips closer to each other they could feel each other's breath on their lips. As soon as they were a millimeter away from each other's lips something unexpected happened neither of them could predict. An explosion could be heard at the doors, they flew off their hinges. A familiar man walked through where the doors once stood. Link and Zelda didn't move even when everyone in the room started screaming and running away in fear.
"You have to be kidding me…" Link commented quietly to Zelda whose lips were only a millimeter away from his.
"Looks like you're going to have to save us again Mr. Hero" she said as she slowly moved her lips away from Link's. Zelda and Link broke their grip of each other and Link turned away as Zelda slowly made her away from Link.
"Deity you jerk how many times do you have to piss me off in a month!" he yelled at the boy who was standing where the doors once stood.
"Every day that you are happy is a day I must ruin" he answered as he slowly made his way down the stairs that were now covered in a thick layer of dirt and ash.
Link threw his blazer on the floor so it wouldn't get ruined in the upcoming fight. "Burn in hell" he yelled as he threw his fist into Deity's face. His nose broke as soon as Link's fist touched it. Deity punched Link in the chest right were his scar was; his white shirt now had blood on it. Link countered with a punch to gut causing Deity to kneel over. Deity kicked Link in chest causing him to yelp out in pain; his shirt now looked a deep red. Link grabbed his chest knowing his scar had opened up; he fell to the floor in pain.
They looked each other in the eyes each huffing and puffing, each taking their share in injuries, and both covered in blood. "I guess this where this battle ends dear brother" he said smiling.
"You're no brother of mine, you betrayed all of us that day" Link responded grinding his teeth.
"Still angry about that? Look closer brother we're both on the ground bleeding the same blood, welcome to hell" he answered, and with that Deity hit the ground. In less than a second Link hit the ground too. They both were unconscious and both of them had a member of the Hyrule family running toward them, the only difference was one was a man and the other was a familiar blond haired girl.
"Link, Link, wake up!" Zelda shouted as she shook her friend. Her father sneered at them both, their secret was exposed but right now Zelda didn't care she only cared about him on the floor bleeding.
No medal would be awarded to Link for bravery, no recognition, no nothing he would be still be considered trash. The only difference between this time and the last time were two things, the first being Zelda was beside Link, the second was that they had just started a war between the giants.
