Hi guys! So, a few things I have to say before we begin. First, you might have heard from BlueFrenchHorn97 about her new system with her beta reader. I asked her if we could do it as well, because I can be very unsure about my work, even with the sweetest readers like you guys. It will take a little longer to upload, but the quality will be (hopefully) a lot better!
Second, I can really use suggestions. Of course I have a main story line, but if you have an idea, like an activity or place or person or… please PM me or tell me in a review!
Last, there was a very confusing and weird review on the last chapter. What concerned me was the username that person used, namely BlueFrenchHorn98. I know, weird. For that person, the real BlueFrenchHorn97 has a short message: Hello everyone! BlueFrenchHorn97 here, beta reader and friend to Franne. I'm just here to say to the guest BlueFrenchHorn98: who said this story makes them barf... if you don't like it, then just don't read it. Don't hassle someone so nice with your negativity. And also, what's with the UN?
Yeah, I just wanted to say that real quick :) anyway, thanks to LINKFORTHEWIN, ShadowNinja1011, Kenzi333, Amethyst 269, ZeldaLinkFan, TheSunsetWolf, Kencon2009, BlueFrenchHorn97, ZeldaFan, Hanyoualchemist1 and Zelink4eva123 for reviewing! Thanks to BlueFrenchHorn97 for beta reading (and for the new system thingy ;) )
Link was the best boyfriend I could ever imagine. We had only been together for a month, and he spoiled me so bad already. He would surprise me with tickets for my favourite symphonic orchestra or with a simple book he knew I would like. He would take me out on a dinner or just put a small note in my bag telling me that he loved me. He was perfect, he really was. I know that nobody is, but still, Link came very close… Link, Midna, Sheik and I were celebrating my first month here when I received a call.
I already had a feeling who it could possibly be. Not that there were a lot of different options. Dad rarely called me; he only came on the phone when mom called. Only Malon and Saria called me to talk to me, mostly about Link. They had been so happy when I told them I finally had found my knight in shining armour.
I took my phone out of my pocket and saw that I had been right. It was Saria. My face lit up and I answered my phone.
"Saria!" I yelled.
"Hey Zelda," she replied.
"How are you doing? I haven't heard much from you!"
"I guess not, sorry. We figured you were busy, with the moving and all. I'm doing great! Everyone is, really!"
"Oh that's amazing!"
"Yeah! So, how's your boyfriend?" Saria asked me, stressing the word 'boyfriend'.
I blushed and glanced at Link. "He's great, really. He's amazing,"
"Good! Hey, the reason I called was if we could come to the city this weekend?"
I was quite surprised by this sudden question, but I was also glad she asked. "Sure! I don't have anything planned. And who do you mean by we?"
"It's just me and Malon. Karane's broke her leg and Orielle is too busy with her new job." Saria explained.
"Oh! Ok, that's great! I can show you two around then." I said exited.
"That sounds pretty good! See you Saturday morning?"
"Ok! See you then!"
"Bye Zelda!"
"Bye!"
I put my phone back in my pocket and smiled. I was very happy here of course, but I had missed my friends!
"Is Saria coming?" Link asked.
I nodded. "She is! And Malon too! This Saturday they're coming."
"We figured," Midna winked.
"That's great for you!" Link smiled, laying his arm around my shoulders and pulling me closer. I looked in his eyes and planted a kiss on his nose. He smiled and pressed his lips on my forehead.
"You two are so adorable together!" Midna squealed. "I am so happy you two are a couple."
I smiled to Link. "We are too."
It had quickly become Saturday noon, and I was already waiting at the station with Link. We talked about nothing in particular, Link asked me if I was excited, and I admitted that I kind of was. I didn't mention that Malon texted me earlier saying that they would have to approve Link as my boyfriend though. Not that I thought they wouldn't like him, but just the idea… We continued talking about my friends until I saw a familiar redhead running towards me.
"Zellie!" she hugged me so tight I couldn't even breathe. "I missed you so much!" she squealed.
I smiled. "I missed you too Malon, but you're suffocating me a little."
She immediately released. "O goddess! Sorry! I didn't notice."
I laughed. "It's alright Malon, really."
She smiled back and a small girl with green hair stepped in front, her arms reaching towards me.
"Saria, I missed you!" I said, hugging her.
"Me too Zelda!" she replied.
"I guess this is your Mr Perfect we've been hearing about huh?" Malon asked, holding her hand out to Link. "I'm Malon."
"Malon!" I hissed. "Shh!"
Link smiled and shook Malon's hand. "I'm Link." He did the same with Saria. "You can give me your baggage, I'll carry it. They don't seem too heavy," he said, gesturing to their suitcases.
"What a gentleman! You were right Zellie!" Malon said, which made Saria giggle.
"Gosh, Malon, knock it off!" I said, poking her.
Link laughed and put his arm around my waist. "I think it's cute Zel."
I looked at him. "Really?"
"Of course! Would I ever lie to you?" he said, looking at me.
I blushed. "No… Still…"
"You two are so cute!" Saria said, smiling at me.
"Let's go!" I said, walking ahead. Malon sighed and laughed, and they followed behind me. I showed them all of the places I had already been to: the movie theatre Link and I had our first unofficial date in, the concert hall we went to see the Hyrule Symphonic orchestra, and the mall that Midna and me had been to. As I thought of it, this city already had loads of memories from everywhere I've been. They were all good memories, and I showed my two friends around with a constant smile.
When we had arrived at my apartment I told them that there was one spare bed I borrowed from Midna, and that someone would have to sleep on the couch, which Saria quickly offered to do.
That's how I knew her, kind and sacrificing, as long as everyone was happy. That's what I loved about her. Malon was, not to say the opposite, but she was very different. Of course she was kind like Saria, but she was much more outgoing and open. And I was a mix of the two, which made us fit together really well. We were kind of like the ancient Triforce, three pieces fitting together. Of course I had other friends like Karane or Orielle, but Malon and Saria just were my… best friends.
We agreed that Link would leave until tomorrow, and that the three of us would get ready to go out to dinner to catch up. The little tour I had given them surprisingly had taken me longer then I thought, so instead of walking in the park as I had previously planned, we went straight to the café I visited the first day I was here. We ordered the exact same thing I did back then. It felt kind of weird. I learned that, just as I expected nothing much had happened yet in Kakariko Village.
"Ooh! I forgot something! Your mom gave me something for you," Saria said, looking around in her bag. She took out a small wrapped gift and handed it to me.
"Thanks!" I said, a little bit surprised. I ripped the paper open and took out a small teddy bear with a card saying "We miss you!"
"Aww! Now she's making me feel homesick!"
Saria laughed. "If you're happy here, then it's fine by me. Right, Malon?"
Malon nodded heavily. "Uhuh! We'll survive without you!"
I laughed. "Then I'm happy too."
We finished our food and I was paying the bill for us all when Malon poked me softly. She bent over and whispered in my ear. "Look at the table at the back to the left. The Zora girl, she's staring at you."
I smiled and pretended Malon had said something funny while I tried to look subtly to the girl Malon had mentioned. She was blue, like every other Zora, had purple eyes and she wore blue rupee like earrings. She did stare at me. And she didn't bother to hide it either. Her eyes showed some kind of jealousy I couldn't place. I recognised her vaguely. I had seen her and the look in her eyes before, when I was having a drink somewhere with Link. But I ignored it and we left.
We went back to my apartment; since we were all kind of tired and we didn't really want to do anything but chat. I learned that Karane started dating a boy named Pipit, who was also from our village. Not that I didn't see that coming, but still. I couldn't help it but keep thinking about the Zora girl. I didn't know her! Why did she look at me like that? It was very confusing, and I made a note to myself I would ask Link or Midna if they knew her.
"I can't believe we are already leaving tomorrow!" Malon sighed.
I sighed as well. "Me neither. A good thing you only live 4 hours away and not like a day or something."
Saria nodded. "Yeah, that would be a total bummer."
"Whenever you guys want to, you can come to here, you know," I said.
Saria smiled. "Thanks Zelda. That's very sweet of you."
I smiled back. "I would do anything for the two of you."
