To Starll: No, Midna didn't just die. No worries! And yeah, I guess I didn't make that part too clear. A Hylian soldier almost killed Midna, not a Twili.

To Player4: You know, I thought the same thing. I guess I was too excited about making Midna kiss Link. I'll fix it…. Later.

To.,.. Everyone! Gotta love those reviews. Keep at 'em! WOO!

Midna kept her eyes closed, but opened them when something green stepped in front of her, grabbed the spear, and chucked it out in the open Twilight.

Zelda ran to Midna, picked her up, and let Midna lean against Zelda's shoulder.

"Midna! What were you thinking?!" she asked in a rush, pulling her to safety, away from the war that was now hand to hand combat.

"Um… Nothing, actually."

"You're damn right you weren't thinking! You just tried to commit suicide!"

Midna caught her balance and stepped away from Zelda. "Listen," Midna said with strained calmness, "I didn't know what I was doing because Link did it."

Both of them stood there thinking how ludicrous that statement sounded.

"Yes, because it's always Link's fault!" Zelda raised her voice- even then Midna could hardly hear it. Link was standing five feet away from them and due to the noise of the battle, he couldn't hear. His sword was drawn and was standing nervously with his shield.

Midna sighed. Perhaps wasn't the time.

"What should we do?" Midna asked her. She was really annoyed that this was the only sentence she could come up with. It put Zelda above her.

"We stop the fight, that's what we do."

"That's impossible!"

"The magic of Twilight and Light will stop it!"

Wonder dawned on Midna as she realized what Zelda was saying. They would have to work together.

At first, this plan seemed to sulk in its own grey and mournful depths. She hated Zelda, and she seemed to hate her.

Then, this plan proved worthwhile. She could show Zelda the true power of the Twilight and just how amazing and beautiful, and powerful it really is!

Midna smirked and nodded. She charged up some electric balls of energy so that it radiated off her. If anyone touched her, it would be like getting struck by four lightning bolts at the same time. So basically, it would kill you.

"Excuse me!" Zelda called in her most loud and strongest voice- which would usually make people pause what they were saying. But this wasn't working, and Midna wanted to shine.

"HEY PEOPLE! YOU STUPID FOOLS! STOP YOUR FREAKING FIGHTING!"

Ah yes, Midna's uncanny ability to shut people up and look in her direction. The electricity was making her hair float in the air. One Hylian paused in mid air and came crashing to the ground. His mouth was open and drooling. Midna looked away and shook her head in disgust.

It was really flattering to have everyone in the world think you're the most beautiful person ever, but it could get annoying. I mean, who wants random people showing up at your house with flowers? Creepers.

Midna looked at them again and put her "I'm going to kill you if you don't shut up face on." They weren't talking, but they looked at her while Zelda started speaking.

"This fighting is going to destroy the relationship between Shadow and Light. This bond is what keeps us both here. Without Light, there is no Shadow. Without Shadow…" There's no shade so you're all going to turn red and die of severe peeling. "…there's no Light. In eternal darkness, what guides you out?"

Midna thought Zelda was just rambling on about the same thing over and over again, but it seemed to work. Only two people remained fighting. Midna shut off her electric shock and went over to them. They didn't acknowledge her, so she smacked them hard against both of their cheeks in the same move.

"Hey!"

"What was that for?!"

"For not shutting up! Do you want to get thrown over into the Twilight?"

The Twili man quickly shook his head no, but the Hylian hesitated. He went over to the edge and looked down.

"Well, would I be able to come back up?" the Hylian asked, still looking over the edge.

"I mean, if I can get back up, then sure, whatever, but if I can't…"

Midna rolled her eyes and went behind the man and kicked him behind his knees. He swiveled around and fell off, screaming. Midna forgot how funny it could be. She grinned and walked back over to Zelda.

Zelda had her eyes wide as she came over. She continued to stare at her as Midna took a seat on the ground.

After a little, Midna looked up. "What?"

Zelda shook her head and turned back to the crowd of light and dark.

"Enough. I want all of the Hylians back in Hyrule, where they should be. No need to disturb the quiet peace of the Twilight Realm."

The Hylians didn't move. Midna sighed and stood up, walking over to them. They all dashed away from her. Midna herded them all back in through the Mirror of Twilight, leaving a series of Twili, Link and Zelda.

"Back to your homes!" Midna boomed to the Twili. "You shall forget all of this frivolous folly!"

They nodded and ran back to their respective houses. Midna walked over to Link, and he raised his eyebrows. "You're not going to throw me overboard, are you?"

Midna chuckled. "Of course not."

Zelda walked up to the two. "So where does this Twilight lead to anyway?"

Midna smiled. "Well, no one knows. Whoever falls down there is typically never seen again." Midna lowered her voice. "Only one person has ever made it back up. When he came up, he went mad. He never used to be like… what he was."

"Who was it?" Zelda asked, probably thinking it was Ganondorf whom she'd seen so many freaking times because she gets kidnapped and never thinks about defending herself so Link and some other companion has to go through so many freaking temples to gather power to go kill Ganondork again and again and again…

"Zant."

All was quiet. It seemed as if tumbleweed would go across the circle as they did in those old times that Link told her about.

"Well that explains a lot," Link shrugged.

"Hah, yeah…" Zelda said shakily.

"What's wrong?" Midna asked her.

"Oh, nothing. Just… wondering about how he got back up."

"Ganondorf?" Link asked. Midna knew his name would come up sometime.

"No, Zant found Ganondorf after he climbed back up," said Midna."

"…Well, no use discussing this now. Um, Link, if you would please come with me? I have something important to ask of you." Zelda murmured.

Link looked at Zelda funny, shrugged, and then followed her out into the world of Light.


(Link's POV) Link stepped onto the platform of Arbiter's Grounds that held the Mirror of Twilight. It was sunset, the time that he and Midna are closest.

…Anyway, Zelda had something to tell him. Something so damn urgent that he had to go back to Hyrule for it. But he needed to cool off his anger. Link stared at the sunset, making him peaceful.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Zelda asked Link. He nodded.

"It's about this time that I look of the throne room window and watch it. The view is so spectacular."

Link mutely remembered being back in Ordon, before this all happened, watching the sunset with Rusl.

"Sunrise is beautiful too. Especially when you watch it on Lake Hylia. The water glistens off the reflection of the sun. It looks like morning dew."

Link nodded.

Zelda sighed, giving up her determination to get Link to talk. "Well, I dragged you out of there to tell you something, so I might as well get to the point.

Geez, it was about time. Link turned to Zelda with his eyebrows raised. In the polite way, of course, because she could legally chop his head off.

"The Queen keeps pestering me about the future. My future. The day I will someday take her place as Queen. But the rule remains, that I cannot take that place unless a King would take the place of the current one."

Link stared at her, not willing to comprehend and accept what she was saying.

"It would be nice to be Queen. For years I have been known as Princess Zelda. Princesses have less rule than Queen's do, and you do get to wear the nice tiara. Not that I mind mine, I think it's one of a kind…"

Link turned away and looked at the sun, which was starting to disappear behind the horizon.

"Anyway…" Link turned back to her. "This may be a hard concept to say, and it will be, but would you consider, taking my hand in marriage?"

Link's eyes flew open. He opened his mouth to say something, then noticed something black in the shadow of the platform they were standing on. It wasn't facing the way a shadow should be- opposite the sun. It was more west. Seeing Link look at it, it flew back into the shadow of the platform.

"Please, sleep on it. Strongly consider it."

Zelda started walking down the steps of Arbiter's Grounds. Sad red eyes opened in the shadow. Link looked at it for a split second, then it deteriorated into the mirror of Twilight.
