Zelda's POV

Sheik jumped on me and nudged my face to wake me up the next morning. I was actually glad he did, considering how much I hated my alarm clock. As I was getting ready he talked to me through the bathroom door. "So Zelda, I heard Sariah talking on the phone about Ganondorf needing to go to the office to get a pencil removed from his ass. Was that you by chance?"

I opened the door since I was fully dressed and started playing with my hair. I shot my magic at it and kept changing styles. I said, "Yes, that was me. I also found out that he is a wizard."

He nodded and said, "Impa told me, you also know that she is one and her nephew Link will soon discover he is one too."

I turned to him and asked, "You know Impa?"

He nodded and said, "I was her guardian spirit when she was young."

This took me back by surprise. I was curious so I asked, "Sheik, how old are you?"

He replied, "Over 300 in human years."

I gasped in shock but then continued, "Well Sheik, how am I to go about strengthening my magic?"

He then said, "We will start small, Magic is all about concentration. Zelda close your eyes and focus on making a historic hair style."

We had several minutes before I needed to get to class so I thought about history class. We were talking about Queen Marie Antoinette in school last week and there was a picture of her hair standing about a foot tall. I closed my eyes and thought of that picture I held my hands by my hair and felt the magic flow. When it stopped, I opened my eyes and saw my hair curled and piled about a foot high. As silly as I looked, I jumped up and clapped at my success.

I checked the time and it was time for me to go. So, I picked up my book bag and was about to leave the dorm when Sheik said, "You're not seriously going out like that are you?" I looked in the mirror and realized I still had that ridiculous hair style. I zapped my hair into a ponytail and left for class.

When I was sitting in first hour, there was a group of girls that included Ruto gossiping. There was nothing better to do in geometry, so I listened to their latest scandal.

"Hey did you hear Link is going out with that weird quiet chick?"

"No way, Seriously? He never dates anyone."

"I know, girls practically throw themselves at him and he always says no."

"He claims he is waiting for the right girl to come along."

That last sentence caught my attention, 'waiting for the right girl to come along…" OH GODDESS! He can't think that I am that person can he?

They continued their discussion and I drifted in and out until the bell rang. As usual Link was waiting for me with a smile. I smiled back and he asked me, "So are you ready for our date tonight?" I was feeling kind of shy so I just shrugged. I still had no idea what I was going to do tonight. I haven't been on many dates, so I really wasn't sure what to wear or anything. Also, how am I going to converse with him? He must have sensed my apprehension and said, "I am nervous too. If it makes you feel any better you are my first date?" My jaw dropped. I mean, I know from Ruto's earlier gossip he didn't date often, but seriously no ever? Why the hell not, he is cute…Wait did I think that?

At fight club, Gaepora had the gym set up when we got there and was waiting on me to face off with Ganondorf. Before we started, Link looked Ganondorf in the eye and said, "I understand you don't want to be beaten by a girl, but don't cheat."

Ganondorf rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry; your little bitch will only be going home with her tail between her legs."

With that said, I attacked. I threw a punch to his face which he expectantly dodged. As he dodged I threw my leg out, causing him to fall. It knocked the wind out of him. I sat on his back and pulled his hands behind his back. I looked up at Gaepora and he counted down from three.

"Three"

"Two"

"One"

"Time"

Once he said time, I leaned over and whispered, "Who's the bitch now?" Link must have heard me since I saw him chuckle. I got up and walked off the mat. Ganondorf was fuming. I sware you could have mistaken him for Hades (Greek god of the underworld) from his expression. He stomped out the room with his friends following close behind.

I smiled widely and turned to Link. He was taking off his Jacket and set it on the side. He looked at me and said, "Congratulations, are you ready?" I nodded and got into a defensive stance. I knew that if he was the captain of the club, he must be good. He then said, "How about we up the stakes?"

I looked at him with a look that clearly stated, 'I'm listening'

He said, "If I win, you talk to me from now on."

For the first time in front of everyone I spoke, "Fine, if I win you wear a dress to our next meeting."

To my surprise he said "Deal." He must be really good if he would agree to that.

He motioned for me to start so I tried to do a kick to his head. He caught my foot and I lost my balance. I quickly tried to grab something to stop my fall. I ended up grabbing his shirt and brought him down with me. Since I was close to the edge of the mat, the fall was hard. Link put his hand on the back of my head as we were falling and prevented my head from hitting the hard wood floor. I looked up at link, and he seemed as shocked as I did. He was literally sitting on top of me. Gaepora yelled, "Time." And caught both of our attention, Link blushed realizing his position and got off of me. He extended his hand out to me and said, "You did an excellent job, but I don't look good in pink." I laughed and said, "Alright, I am going to go get dressed for dinner tonight."

When I got back to the dorm, I looked through my closet for something decent to wear. I didn't have many clothes. My parents had abandoned me as soon as they discovered my magic. I did odd jobs all my life to get the necessities like food and shelter, so rarely did I have much over for clothing. I looked in the closet and pulled out my red dress that I wore on the first day of school and a pair back flats. I waved my hand over my head and my hair was pulled back in curls, with a large red bow.

A knock sounded at the door and I got up to answer it, Link was very nicely dressed in a pair of dress slacks and a Dark Green button up shirt that seemed to contrast beautifully with his eyes. He beamed at me and said, "Zelda, you look lovely this evening. Are you ready to head out?" I nodded. Before I stepped out the door he wagged his finger in front of my face and said, "Not uh, you promised you would speak to me if I won."

I smirked at him and muttered, "Jerk."

He laughed and walked me out to his car. The car was a little beat up, but he claimed it worked like a charm.

On the way to the restaurant, we talked about the normal things: books, movies, places we liked. He then asked me about my family and sure enough, I clammed up. He must have sensed my discomfort, so he talked about his instead. "Both of my parents died in a car accident, so my Aunt Impa has been taking care of my sister, Aryll, and I."

I smiled and said, "It must be nice to have a family that care for you so much."

His eyes then lit up and he said, "Oh look we are here, they have the best food here."

I looked up at the restaurant and in big glowing letters, the sign upfront read, "Telma's"

Link held the door open for me and we walked up to the counter and were instantly greeted by a robust woman who was showing off way too much cleavage. She seemed to identify Link instantly and said, "Link dear, come in. Oh my, is that a date I see?" She walked up to me and asked, "Who are you, and what have you done to my timid boy? He NEVER dates. You must be something special." I blushed and she brought us to a table in the corner and handed us two menus.

When she walked away, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and Link looked tense. He then said, "Sorry about that Telma is an old family friend. She is a bit…ostentatious."

I shook my head and said, "No Link, it is fine. So Link what do you recommend?"

He smiled and replied, "Well I am ordering us some onion rings as an appetizer. YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU HAVE EATTEN HER ONION RINGS!"

I giggled at how excited he got over onion rings and jokingly said, "Link, your drooling." Suprisingly he checked himself to be sure it was a joke which made me laugh even harder.

He then continued, "But as far as the actual meal goes, Telma's Spaghetti and meatballs is her best dish."

I smiled and closed my menu contently. Spaghetti and meatballs sounds pretty good right now. When Telma saw me place my menu down, she placed two glasses of water on the table and asked, "What will it be sweetheart?"

I told her my order and she walked off without asking Link what he wanted. I was about to say something when Link said, "I order the same thing every time I come here. She doesn't even have to ask." I blushed feeling slightly embarrassed and Link asked, "So Zellie, Do you have any hobbies?"

Telma came back out of the kitchen and placed two steaming plates of spaghetti in front of us. Another waitor placed two bowls filled with bread and onion rings in front of us. I thanked them and answered Link, "Yes speed."

His choked on his onion ring and asked, "As in the drug?"

I busted out laughing, tears were beginning to form in my eyes and I said, "No, not exactly…Although, what I do is quite addicting." I bit into an onion ring and my mouth seemed to tingle with pleasure. With a mouth full of food I moaned, "This is soooo good."

Link smirked and said, "I know right. Now that I know you aren't addicted to meth, what did you mean when you said speed is your hobby?"

I took another bite of food and said, "If you really want to know, I guess you're just going to have to ask me on a second date."

He beamed and practically shouted, "That would be great!"

People in the restaurant were looking at us and Telma told him to keep it down. I chuckled and Link threw some cash on the table since we both had finished our dinner. He locked his arm in mine as we walked to the car and I told him, "Thank you Link, this is the most fun I have had in years." I gave him a hug and Link replied, "No problem, I just can't wait until our second date."

I chuckled and said, "Good news then, the event I am referring to is on Friday. I need to be leave school at 4:00, if you would like to come with me."

He seemed to emit happiness and said, "I wouldn't miss it for the world."
