Two things to get out of the way-
1) I don't own anything from Nintendo
2) Thank you for 100 reviews. I don't know why it's a huge deal, it's just...that number is so satisfying.
It has been a year. Now they are all grown up...sorta. I'm really sorry, it's short. But enjoy it anyway!
Age 17
Link was practicing with his clawshot in the gardens. It had been a year, and things were still tense with the goddesses. He and Ganondorf were at a truce, but he knew it wouldn't last. And then it would be dangerous.
Zelda would be mad as hell that they made a truce over her. She hated being an object.
"Link…?" A hesitant voice came from behind him. He turned to see Zelda in the doorway. He nodded at her to continue.
"I'm sorry that I did that. You know…yelled at you a year ago. It's been bugging me because…I think I do like you." She admitted. Link's eyes widened.
"You mean…you're attracted to me?" He asked hopefully. Zelda smiled shyly and walked up to him. He stood up so that he was a bit taller then her.
"Yeah." She told him. He smiled and put his clawshot away. Zelda leaned up and cupped his face in her hands. She brought her lips to his softly, kissing him lightly. He kissed her back.
He didn't know he would be this nervous. Half the reason he kissed Ilia was so that he wouldn't be so afraid when he finally made a move on Zelda.
"Hey!" Ganondorf yelled from behind them. Zelda jumped away from Link.
"What the hell?" He screamed at Link, running up. Link glared at him. Ganondorf continued screaming.
"What do you think you're doing with my girl!" He screeched. Link frowned.
"What do you mean?" Link demanded. Ganondorf whirled on Zelda.
"Why were you kissing him? You just kissed me!" He insisted. Zelda shrugged.
"I had to choose someone first. Ganondorf is a lot less clingy." She admitted. They each gaped at her. Zelda rushed to explain.
"But I did it for your own good! Don't you morons get it! We all used to be best friends. But now…I'm the reason you two are fighting. And I can't…" She burst into tears that leaked slowly down her face.
"I c-can't…I don't want you two t-to fight anymore!" She choked out, sobbing. Ganondorf and Link rushed to console her, wrapping their arms around her. She kept crying.
"I'm sorry." Link said.
"Yeah…if it makes anything worse, I still wet the bed!" Ganondorf smiled. Zelda laughed a little.
"What does that have anything to do with the matter at hand?" She asked.
"Remember? Din? And the Lesson?" He asked. Zelda laughed and leaned against his chest happily. She wiped away her tears and pulled Link closer so that she was hugging him and resting against Ganondorf at the same time..
"Why can't we stay like this?" She asked. Link and Ganondorf smiled. They were about to answer…
When a light whizzed over head. It landed in the kitchen. They looked at each other, and then scrambled to the window as if they were four years old again. They peered inside.
Nayru, Farore, and Din sat at the table, a large man standing. They were all staring at him.
"Hello." Nayru said, bowing slightly. Normally, people wouldn't be able to hear them, but the three children had such big ears. Normally it annoyed them, but this time it was a blessing.
"Hello goddesses." The large man nodded. Zelda frowned at Link and Ganondorf. Their thoughts were simultaneous. Who was this man? What did he want? And what the heck is going on with the goddesses? Zelda nodded toward the door, asking if they should creep inside. Link and Ganondorf nodded, and they went silently inside. They eavesdropped in the doorway.
"I came to see how it was going." The man said in a booming voice.
"It is going fine." Nayru said simply.
"The children…?"
"Are doing fine." Din spat.
"Have you learned your lesson? Has the punishment worked?"
"Yeah." Farore said, nodding. "We have. The children-"
"Is that all we are?" Link squeaked. The goddesses and the man whirled to face him.
"A punishment?" Zelda echoed.
"You sick bitches!" Ganondorf hissed with outrage. Zelda turned around and walked away as quickly as she could.
"Zelda!" Nayru and Link called after her. Link turned back to the goddesses.
"How could you? How could you do this to her? Haven't you done enough!" He screamed. Then he bolted after Zelda. Ganondorf put a hand on his sword hilt.
"I. Don't. Believe you!" He screamed, raising his sword and bringing it down on the table. It crashed.
"You just can't stop, can you? You don't know when to stop!" His rage blinding him, he raised the sword again to the God.
"And you…you sick, dirty bastard. What do you think you are? We aren't a punishment! Zelda isn't…Link was right! You just have no boundaries!" He screamed, slashing his sword at Nayru. She jumped away. Ganondorf flung his sword down, nearly hitting the God. Then he ran away, pounding the wall. A small bit broke off into rubble.
The Goddesses looked weary. The Great God turned to leave.
"Perhaps it is best if I…go." He said. He turned to go.
"I have many regrets." Din said. Everyone turned. She lifted her fiery eyes to him.
"But one I don't have…is that I got to meet them. Even though you are a sick and twisted bastard, I'm half glad you made us do this." She said sadly. "Now get the fuck out of this house." She narrowed her eyes. The Great God looked appalled, then turned, and in a flash of light, was gone.
Zelda ran up to her room, falling onto the bed.
"Hey! Are you OK? HEY!" Navi flew up. Zelda was too outraged to speak. Instead she clenched her pillow tightly as tears of rage spilled out.
"I hate them." She spat. Link ran into her room and stopped in the doorway.
"Zel…?" He asked.
"Don't call me that!" She shrieked, clawing at the pillow. She buried her face in it and started to cry harder. "I hate them." She hissed. "I hate them I hate them I hate them!"
Ganondorf walked up beside Link. They looked sadly at each other. Then they walked up to her.
"I know." Link said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Ganondorf sighed.
"I don't know. I'm sorta happy about this." He said. Link glared at him.
"How can you be happy, dude?" He snapped.
"Listen, if this didn't happen, I never would have met you guys. Even though I want to know more about Zelda. Ack! Don't hurt me!" He raised his hands in defense as Zelda raised her face to see where to hit him. Ganondorf continued.
"Remember all the memories? Ordon? Birthdays? Sleeping together. Ahh…sleeping together. KIDDING! When Link got stuck in a tree. All that junk. Even though I love the Guerudo, I love you more." He said. Zelda flung her arms around his neck and pulled Link into the hug too.
"Hey! What about me! HEY!" Navi squeaked. Zelda took her in her hand.
"We love you too, Navi." She said softly. Then she sighed.
"But I still feel betrayed." She scowled. Link nodded.
"Yeah…me too." They sat that way for a while, just sitting in each other's arms. The goddesses walked up tentatively.
"Hello..." Farore whispered.
"Go away." Ganondorf snarled. Nayru sighed.
"It's…time for you guys to go home." She said softly. They stared at her.
"WHAT?" They all asked. Din sighed out a huff of breath.
"17 is the legal adult age. It's time for you to get out. Go back. You hate us anyway." She sniffed disdainfully.
The children slid out of each others arms and stood up. Link grabbed Navi.
"She comes with me, right?" He asked. The goddesses nodded. Zelda gulped. They took each others hands. They walked out to the portal the goddesses had already cast that would send Zelda to the castle, Link to some random field, and Ganondorf to the Guerudo.
"Do you think the legend will come true?" He asked. Zelda looked at both of them.
"No." She said finally.
"Why not?" Link asked.
"Because…" Zelda smiled sadly. "This time we're friends."
Is it the end? Is it? I'll give you a hint-look at the first chapter.
Well, who here thinks it's the end?
I know you're there, I can hear your mind working to find a conclusion.
So review!
