Updated even earlier this time! :)

Ingenuous-Amethyst: Haha, yeah it is, very true.

Thank you all for reading and reviewing!

Game Over

Link had lost all hope. An entire week has gone by now, and no one on this stinking Earth cared about his story, which he was starting to think wasn't all that great anymore. He went through the reasons of why that would be.

The title, even after renaming it, was it enough? And the summary, it was dreadfully boring, too brief and not nearly appealing enough. His introduction just had to be too long, he desperately needed to hack half of it away, but how, and which parts? His author's notes were stupid, he was better than that. Maybe he needed to be on more forums, it was stupid how you had to join a silly online conversation just to get noticed. At least his grammar was good.

Maybe he was just a loser. A horrible writer with sloppy ideas. Or maybe he was the good person, it's just everyone else is lazy. People are lazy, he sees it every day. People like Mido.

There was a myriad of reasons running through his mind, but the worse thought ever was that he wasted his time and efforts to satisfy his greatest desire- to get a review, and he hadn't even gotten one.

With his hand in cheek and body slumped in his chair, he played out his story in his mind:

With no time to lose, he ran to the castle, his mind racing faster than himself. As he became out of breath, he spied on the guards he remembered sneaking past to get to the courtyard the first time. This would be a cinch.

Arriving at the courtyard where he found Zelda facing a window as expected felt surreal (and relieving at the same time). She instantly turned around.

"Link?"

"Zelda..." Link stepped closer as they locked eyes.

"You...made...it. I-I didn't think you'd come."

"Of course, I'd come. I couldn't wait to see you."

Link always hopelessly imagined himself as the Link in his story- brave, straight forward, confident. Was he that afraid to tell Zelda? It wasn't that hard for the Link in his story to admitt his own feelings for his Zelda. But the Zelda in real life, Link's actual best friend, he had trouble spilling it out. The fear stemmed from the possibility of rejection.

Though, he could forever keep it a secret, dooming himself to the friend zone. That would kill him. It would kill him, telling her or not telling her. Knowing and not knowing what her reaction would be would drive him equally insane.

He turned on his computer. Then, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.

After what seemed like a millennium, Link made it to his published story. There, in fact, was a review.

Hyrulian Princess.

Zelda had been the reviewer.

So, this is the story you told me about. It's a very heartwarming story :) Will this be continued?

He couldn't believe it. The least he'd expect was for Zelda to review, let alone message him.

Zelda: Oh, how very exciting! I'll be your first reviewer :) I hope everything is well for you. And I hope that we get to see each other soon.

He smiled as he replied.

Link: Yes, very. I didn't think you'd review, but I'm glad you did. Appreciate it. And hope we get to see each other, too. I have a lot of things to tell you.

Maybe it wouldn't be damnation and eternity in the friend zone.

And that's it, you guys! Story's over. I'll probably be posting Link's actual fanfic soon as a separate oneshot. And it's also time to work on the second and third short stories I have in mind! First chapters will be coming out very very soon. Follow me if you'd like to be notified when it is posted.
