Hi guys! O my god. Guess where I'm going from Friday 'till Sunday? I'll just tell you, you can stop guessing :) LONDON. What? Yay! :D I wanted to go to London for like 4 years now, and now I'm going with my school! How awesome is that?! :D I'm so happy, but enough about that. Some people said that Zelda had feelings for Link too soon. I get why you think that, but I see it as love at first sight :) sorry if it caused confusion. The many reviews this week were so sweet again! They cheered me up, and trust me, I needed that :) It was nothing special, just some crush troubles. Thanks to BlueFrenchHorn97, Destinyschild02, ShadowNinja1011, Hanyoualchemist1, James Birdsong, Guest, DestinyPrincess289, GlamAngel3766, Hylian Knight, ZeldaLinkFan and lars for reviewing! (By the way, lars, I'm from Belgium, you can type your reviews in Dutch if that's easier) Also thanks to BlueFrenchHorn97 for beta reading! Suggestions are still very welcome!


It was weird, you know. I never, ever, had fallen in love with someone. And now, I had, with a guy I had known for only a couple of days. And, Goddess was I bad at hiding it. Whenever I was around Link, I had trouble with speaking, or thinking, or doing anything, really. After a week of being here, Midna had immediately noticed something. After we went shopping, we decided to watch a movie at her apartment, since it was only noon. Her place looked, like she had mentioned before, quite the same as mine. But she had so much other stuff lying around, and you could see that she had been living here for a couple of years already. I really wanted to see the movie, but Midna had other plans instead.

"So, how was your date with Link?" she asked.

"It wasn't a date, Midna," I said, looking at her accusative.

"Suuuure."

"It wasn't!"

"Zel, I have seen how you look at him."

"How do I look then?"

"Like you're in looooove," she said, emphasizing the word love.

"I'm not in love!" I said, looking away, blushing.

"Oh really? Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love him,"

"I don't need to do that, because I don't!"

"Yes you do!"

"No!"

"I only believe you if you look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love Link," she said, sitting in front of me, looking challenging.

I looked straight into her red eyes and sighed. "I'm not in love wi-"

"I knew it!" she yelled with triumph.

I could only blush heavier and looked away.

"I knew it! This is great! We can double date now!" she squealed.

"Wow wow wow! We're not dating yet! I don't even know if he likes me back…" I muttered.

"Of course he does! You two clicked the moment you two met!" she shouted.

"Really? I thought it was stupid because I only know him for a week," I admitted.

"No! It was love at first sight with you two! Definitely!" she said.

"How was it with you and Sheik?" I asked.

"Well, we knew each other for a really long time. At first, Link, Sheik and I were all very quiet and shy. I know, hard to believe! But when we became teens I quickly got more open, then Sheik followed and Link did too, sort of. He's still a bit shy, but it was much worse in the beginning! And well, after a while, I started to feel more for Sheik then just friends, and he felt the same way!" she explained

"That seems so easy…" I sighed.

"It is! I know it seems hard right now, but trust me. If you two are meant to be, what I'm sure of, then everything will work out just fine!" she said, rubbing my knee comfortingly.

I smiled at her. "Thanks. But how do I do that?"

She sighed. "I have no ide-"

She was suddenly interrupted by my phone which started ringing.

"Who is it?" she asked.

I picked it up and looked at the number. "I don't know! It's an unknown number! Did you give mine to anyone?"

She pointed at my phone with big motions. "Pick up! And no I don't think so… wait I did…"

I didn't hear the last thing she said because I picked up my phone. "Hello?"

"Hi! Is this Zelda?" a familiar voice asked.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, but who is this?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah! Sorry! It's Link!"

I looked at Midna, surprised and formed 'Link' with my mouth. She started to squeal and I waved at her to keep her quiet.

"Oh! Hi Link!" I said, swallowing a big lump that was stuck in my throat.

"Hi! I got your number from Midna; I thought you would want to know that, I hope you don't mind."

I looked accusative at her and she couldn't help it but laugh silently.

"Oh! No no I don't mind." I said, ignoring the blessed butterflies that were attacking my tummy again.

"Great!"

"Why did you call?"

"Oh! Of course, sorry. Err, I wanted to ask you something,"

Midna mimed 'What's going on?' at me. I just put a finger on her lips to keep her quiet.

"Sure! You can ask me something!" I said; ignoring the looks Midna gave me.

"Err, the fair is in the city, and I was wondering if you were planning to go… I mean, if you would want to go with me…"he stuttered.

My eyes widened and I kind of stopped breathing.

"Zelda? If you don't want to you can tell me." he said, clearly sounding disappointed.

"Say something!" Midna whispered.

"Sorry! I would love to! I would love to go to the fair with you," I said.

He sighed out of relief. "That's great! I'll come pick you up around half past six, if that's ok."

"Yeah! Sure! See you then. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I put my phone down and looked at Midna with wide eyes.

Midna squealed with happiness and jumped around. "You got a date! You got a date! Yeah!"

I couldn't help it but jump with her.

"Let's pick out an outfit!" Midna said, pulling me towards my room.

"Hey! It's just a fair!"

"Yeah but it's a date!"

Midna threw me several outfits I had to try on, and only after four different outfits she was satisfied. I wore a dark pink dress with a golden circle belt with brown leather boots underneath, and Midna insisted that she could braid my hair. To be honest, she did an amazing job. My hair had never looked so good.

"I'm done!" Midna yelled.

"And I'm nervous!" I admitted, sighing loudly.

Midna took me by my shoulders. "But you don't need to be! He clearly likes you back; otherwise he wouldn't be asking you out on a date. You know him for a week now, and it's clearly love at first sight. I would say go for it girl!"

I smiled and pulled her into a hug. "Thanks Midna. You're a good friend."

"I know," she laughed.

It was almost time and Midna ran to her apartment across the hallway. I was sure she was eavesdropping at her door or peeking through the peeking hole but I tried to focus on the date that lay ahead. Yes. This was a date. I thought it out loud, so it was true. But then I started to panic. What if he didn't think of it as a date? There wasn't much more time left to think, because my thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. I inhaled deeply one last time and opened the door.

"Hi!" Link said, "You look great, again, even better than the last time."

I blushed. "Thank you!"

"Shall we go?" Link said.

"Sure!" I replied, giving him a big smile.

Outside, Link told me that the fair was just a couple of minutes' walk away.

"So, how was your first week here?" he asked.

"Great! Thanks for asking. Midna is amazing, and so are Sheik and you!"

"Glad to hear that."

It was hard to miss the fair. The music was loud, the lights were bright and it looked amazingly fun. There was a Ferris wheel, a horse show, food stands, side stands, loads of thrill rides where I wasn't planning of going on, and a giant rollercoaster.

"So, what do you want to do first?" Link asked me.

"I have no idea where to begin!" I said, smiling at him.

He smiled back. "We could go on the rollercoaster?"

I swallowed hard. Not that I didn't like rollercoaster, I used to love them, but it was so long ago since I had been on one.

"If you don't want to, that's ok!" Link said.

"No no! Its fine, it just been a while," I admitted.

"Oh! But you'll be fine! I'll protect you," he said, smiling to me.

I smiled back. "Let's go then."

The ride was called the Rickety Coaster and it was a fast wooden coaster. The line luckily wasn't too long, and we were quickly sitting alone in a mine cart, squeezed together. The ride was fairly long for a roller coaster, and to admit, it was one of the most fun things I had done in my whole life. The first steep drop was scary, and I had grabbed Link's arm to hold on to. When the roller coaster stopped, I noticed that I was still holding his arm.

"Sorry!" I said, quickly releasing his arm from my grip.

"It's ok, I don't mind," he said, smiling at me.

I quickly looked away and smiled nervously.

Luckily he didn't notice and he asked me if I was hungry.

"Not really, I just had a pizza with Midna, sorry," I said.

"That's ok, I wasn't hungry either, but I just wanted to make sure!" he said, smiling at me.

Goddess, he was such a gentleman.

"What can we do now?" I asked.

"I can show you my archery skills?" he laughed.

"You're good at archery?" I asked, curiously.

"Not really," he said, "I was just kidding."

"No! Please! Show it to me," I pouted.

"Don't look at me like that!" he said, covering his eyes.

"Like what?" I said, teasing him by coming closer.

"Like that!" he yelled, "Ok fine!"

I clapped my hands and we walked over to the shooting stand. Link gave the man some rupees and started shooting. He was amazing. He hit every single target. Even the guy behind the counter was surprised.

"You can chose whatever you want!" the man said, gesturing towards the prizes.

"That was amazing Link!" I said, looking at him in admiration.

He blushed. "Thanks! But I don't really need anything, you can choose a prize."

"No! It's your work and your prize!" I said.

"Ok. Then I'll choose something for you. Close your eyes. And don't dare to protest!" he said.

I sighed and covered my eyes with my hands.

"You can watch!" He said after a while.

I opened my eyes and saw a cute green little doll. It had a label which said 'Tingle Doll'. "Link! It's great! Thanks!" I gave him a hug, but I noticed we both started to blush heavily so I pulled back.

"It's getting late… We should go back," Link said.

"Good idea," I agreed.

We walked back and I couldn't help it but shiver from the cold.

"Are you cold? Do you want my jacket?" Link asked.

"No! I'm fine. Please, don't take it off!" I said, because he was already taking it off.

"Ok!" he said, "then there is no other option then doing this," he put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. I was so startled by this that I couldn't say anything anymore.

"Zelda? If you don't like it, just tell me," he said, sounding worried.

"No! It's fine! It's pretty warm, actually." I smiled.

"Good," he replied.

The walk was way too short in my opinion, so when we had arrived at my apartment building, I was kind of disappointed.

"So…" he muttered.

"So…" I repeated, "I'll see you soon?" I asked.

"Yeah about that, Zelda, I wondered if you would want to come to my apartment tomorrow… Maybe we could play some video games or something?" he asked, looking at the ground, rubbing his neck.

I was startled, again. First he makes me blush a lot, and now he startles me so much like that?

"I would love to," I said, smiling at him.

"Really?" he asked, looking relieved.

"Of course, what time?" I asked.

"When you're done having dinner? I don't know," he said.

"Sure, see you then!" I said, smiling again.

He nodded. "Yep! Today was fun Zelda. Really,"

"I know, I thought the same," I said. I wanted to hug or maybe even kiss him so badly, but I couldn't bring it up, for now.

I didn't have to choose. He pulled me into a nice, tight and warm hug.

"See you tomorrow," he whispered.

"Yeah," was the only thing I could bring out, "see you tomorrow."
