Just as we got back to the dorm from our picnic I saw Daisy literally dragging Peach to the stairs. They kept talking about some kind of competition and a cake...it kinda makes no sense but...it's none of my business. When we passed them Peach didn't even say "hi"...it's like because of their conversation she was completely oblivious to everything that's going on around her.
As soon as we got back to my temporary room Aryll sat down for a second before turning to Toon Zelda.
"Can we go visit my brother now Zelda..." she said.
I turned to her looking at her questioningly as I saw Toon Zelda doing the same.
"Oh yea...I forgot there's two of you now...I'll just have to give you guys nicknames..." she said cheerfully turning to me. "I'll call you Zellie and I'll call you...Zel."
Wow she chose the exact same nickname that Peach gave me...
"Ok...that's better..." Aryll began. "Zel...can you take me to go visit my brother now..."
"Sure" she replied. "I don't mind taking you..."
She turned to me. "You don't mind if I take her right..."
"No...not at all" I replied. I definitely wouldn't want to get in the way of siblings (not that I would even try).
"Thanks. Well be back in about an hour...have fun..." she said cheerfully, before turning back to Aryll and holding her hand out to her.
Aryll took her hand and they began walking out the door when Aryll stopped.
"Wait..." she said, letting go of Toon Zelda's hand and running to me.
"What is it..." I replied bending down.
She hugged me as best as her little arms could let her and I hugged her back.
"I can't leave without giving you a hug..." she said beaming at me.
Awwww Toon Link is soooo lucky to have her as his sister.
"Aww thank you...now you should be going...I'm pretty sure you don't want to keep your brother waiting...do you...I think that he would like his hug too..." I said playfully.
She jumped a little. "You're right..." she replied, quickly running back to Toon Zelda and taking her hand again, waving to me as they walked out the door.
I waved back, smiling, as they closed the door and walked off down the hall, Aryll's voice echoing behind them.
With nothing but boredom and no one around but myself I sat down on my bedside (ok it's actually Link's bed but...it's my bed for now...) and mentally began making a list of all the things I could do.
After a while I got an idea...I've kinda been wondering for the longest how it felt to wear a tunic...and since Link isn't around (and I have the whole room to myself) I took action while I had a chance.
I quickly walked over to to his closet and took out one of his tunics. Looking around slightly (checking is someone could've...I don't know...gotten stuck in the closet) before quickly changing out of my princess clothes and into the tunic, swapping my crown for one of his caps.
It felt different to not be wearing my dress but I'd have to admit...his tunics are actually quite comfortable. I picked up my dress, folding it then putting it on my bed, placing my crown on top.
Just as I finished I heard the door opening...
My first thought was that they've maybe changed their mind and decided to not stay for the whole hour as they said they would...that is...until I heard his voice.
"Hey...um...Zel, can I ask you a question...would you like to-" he stopped mid sentence and I turned around to find him gawking at me. "Um...why are you wearing my tunic...and hat...n-not that it looks bad on you because it doesn't...but still..."
"Um...well...I..."
I chuckled nervously before darting past him out the room and down the hall...
Luckily I decided to wear my black flats today because they make running easier than with heels...and because totally go with the tunic...
While running I kept looking back and when I turned around I saw Ike walk into my path so I slowed down so I wouldn't run into him.
"Woah Link, always running away from the ladies I see...and they call you courageous...did Zelda get mad and say no..." he said teasingly, completely blocking my path as I came nearer.
"Wait what...did I get mad and say no about what..." I asked him, forgetting about even having to run in the first place.
It took him no time at all to realize who I really am...
"Oh...hello Zelda...I have no idea what you're talking about...what do you mean 'what did I get mad and say no about'..." he said chuckling nervously. "Oh well...never mind...I...um...need to go...and help...um...Peach...yea, I need to go and help Peach with her...her...um...her cake...she asked me to go and find eggs for her cake...you can't make a cake without eggs..."
He turned and started running off down the hallway just as I was before.
What was Link supposed to ask me before I ran off...what was I maybe going to get mad about...
I went down to the dining hall to clear my mind a bit, but I forgot I was still wearing Link's hat and tunic and received strange glances from those that I passed in the hallway.
When I arrived Daisy was running around the dining room challenging people to a sports competition that she says she's having later on. When she spots me she quickly runs over.
"Hey Link...wanna join my...wait what... Zelda...why are you wearing Link's clothes...you know what...I'm not even going to ask..." she said, looking as me questioningly before walking away.
Whew, I'm glad she didn't ask...to be honest I'm not even sure how I'm going to explain myself to Link...well I guess I'm going to have to soon...I'll just do it when the time comes...hopefully I can be 'courageous'...
