Since I have nothing else to do and everyone else is making arrangements to either leave to do something or invite some of their friends to come, I decide to go back to my room and just relax for a bit. As soon I go in I am blasted with waaaaaay too much heat. Ugh...they still haven't fixed my heater yet...this has been happening for a while...one minute it's really cold and the next it's really hot. I tried to deal with it for a while but it started to get so hot that it was either I take off my tunic or die of heat (ok maybe I wouldn't die but I'm pretty sure I could die...). Taking it off made dealing with the heat a little better...
Still dying, this time of boredom, I decide to go to my closet and take out the wood carved dolls my father gave me when I was very little. They're supposed to be the legendary 'hero of Hyrule' and the princess who accompanied him throughout his journey. When I was young I would sit by the fire in our home and listen to the countless stories my father told me about him and the princess and how they were friends when they were younger. They always had so much fun together...she was always either sneaking out of the castle to do stuff with him, or it was him that was sneaking into the castle to do things with her.
From what I've heard they must've been pretty inseparable and they always had so much fun together. After a while they started hanging out less and les until one day they just stopped hanging out all together. That must've been Zelda's mother because of how my father told me that she died in childbirth and also since Zelda seemed so depressed earlier while joking about Peach being her mom...
It this is true then that would mean...I'm following in the footsteps of my father by being friends with the princess...
I flopped down on my back and started thinking about when I was little more and then I realized it. The strange thing about the doll is she looks exactly like Zelda...and now that I think about it...I kinda look like the 'legendary hero'...
In the middle of my thoughts I was quickly brought back into reality by a sudden knock on my door.
"Ike, I told you before...dude you don't have to knock..." I called out to the person on the other side of the door. Sometimes I swear he never listens.
As the door is slowly opened I begin to see part of a white and purple dress...since when does Ike...
Oh shoot...IT'S ZELDA...
I quickly stuff the dolls into my hat and put it back on before she can see just as the door fully opens.
I look up at her and see her staring at me and blushing.
Um...what is she staring at...
Just then I remembered that I didn't have my tunic on and I could feel my face heating up slightly.
"Um...hey Zelda" I said, trying to sound as casual as possible.
"Hi" she replied shyly, still staring at me and blushing.
When did she become so shy...
"So...um...did you need something..." I asked, feeling my face heat up a bit more than before.
"Oh...right" she began looking at the wall, seeming to be brought back into reality. "I...um...just came to...ask you something..."
"Um...ok sure, ask away I guess..." I said trying not to sound so desperate to know her question.
"Oh um...well Peach's friend Daisy came to stay for the break and Peach wants her to stay in our room sooo...canIstayinyourroomwithyou..." she said hurriedly.
I laughed a bit. "Zel you understand I'm a Hylian right...I heard everything you said...also I use that on people sometimes myself..."
"Oh..." she said blushing again.
Noooooooo stop blushing Zelda...you're making me blush...
"Yea...well anyways, sure I don't mind you staying here...I'm staying with Toon Link anyways and I actually kinda needed someone I could trust to look out for my room" I replied, watching slowly as a smile washed over her face.
I couldn't help but smile at how relieved she looked...there's just one problem...I never asked Toon Link if I could stay with him...sometimes I can barely handle being next to her...let alone stay in the same room for ten days...I don't think I could handle that, but I couldn't just turn her down like that...
"Thank you" she replied a little excitedly.
"No problem...anything for you..." I said.
It took me a really short amount of time to realize what I just said...did I literally just tell her 'anything for you'...
It didn't really seem like she realized it so I quickly added in "I almost forgot...I'll give you the second key since no one else will have to come in here anyways."
She took the key, hesitating at first, then turned back to me as she was about to walk out the door.
"Thank you Link...for everything. I'll see you later...I have to go do something...bye" she replied waving as she hurried away.
"Your welcome" I replied, a little too late though.
Now since I already told Zel that I was staying with Toon Link I would have to ask him if I could...I hope he won't say no...well I think he won't say no, as long as I explain myself...but that would mean...admitting to liking Zelda...
Well...if that's what I have to do...then that's what I have to do...
I got up off my bed, put my tunic back on and started going down the hall towards Toon Link's room hoping that he would let me stay with him because if he doesn't...I'm doomed...
