She woke up the next morning with a shy smile. Knowing that Link had feelings for her made her blush, but in a good way. She didn't know what to think of it. There was something budging inside her saying; he's perfect. There was no doubt. She loved him too, which felt so easy to say. Last night was so perfect, how could she say that she doesn't. He was a gentleman; kind, smart, funny, and handsome. He even…resembled her Hero of Time. Then she thinks how unbelievable she is. Isn't she jumping into common conclusions? Falling in love with your hero? That's like a story, one she can find in the books on her shelves. What makes her think that he loves her anyway? He hasn't told her anything. Why would she think such an honest man would hide something from his best friend/lover/girlfriend? (Whoever she was to him). Why would she think that she's in love? She barely knows him. Well, now, anyways. How can she say she's in love? This argument looked a bit one sided.

It didn't matter, nonetheless. She had to focus on getting her memories back. That's all that really was important now anyway. Instead of embarrassing herself by going out and asking him for the truth, she could just wait. She needed to know for herself, not from another's story. She stood up from her bed, and rushed to her drawers. It was time to get ready for the upcoming day, and just wait for what Link had in store. She pulled out a towel, purple dress, and hairbrush.

She quickly made her way to the bathroom, and prepared herself for a bath. The tub in the room took up all of the main space. Around her were different towels, and bath soaps for her choice. She smelt a few, and grabbed the one that had the most natural smell. In a quick moment, she took a bath, and dried herself. She dressed herself, and brushed the golden tangles out of her hair. The purple dress was knee reach and poufy, like most of her dresses. The only thing she could get from looking at her previous style was how playful and girly she was. It didn't resemble her new form, and how she acted. She began to think she wasn't even the same girl when she was revived. She thought that if she was most like any of her past lives, she would be Hylia. Mature, strong, wise, and independent, but still able to accept help. Maybe that was a bad thing…maybe being Zelda was better. She had Link. Not the Hero of Time. She had friends, and family, who were always there for her. Hylia had people looking up to her for help, and perfection. Either as Zelda or Hylia, she wasn't perfect. She couldn't live up to the expectations.

She left the bathroom, bathed, dressed, and excited for the day. The halls were almost empty, with only two knights. One was a red-headed girl, dressed in a green tunic, and a matching hat. The other was a golden clad boy, who smiled widely towards her. Zelda tried to walk around them, not wanting to interrupt when they called her over. She pivoted, squeezing her eyes closed, in anger. She didn't want to embarrass herself or appear rude with her lack of understanding. "Hi…!" She tried to sound excited to see the strangers, but couldn't successfully hide the fact she didn't know who they were.

"Hi, Zelda! I didn't see you yesterday, how've you been?" The girl asked.

"Um, sorry. I was kind of…err...busy." She stuttered.

"Oh…I heard Link is back! That's great. You two finally get the alone time you've been waiting for." She told her.

"I…I know."

"I guess that means we can have the wedding soon! We couldn't wait any longer, but we would of course. For you two." The boy explained.

"Wedding? Oh…you're…Peter and Karen…no it was…" She said under her breath. "Pipit and Karane!" Zelda said out loud, remembering the letter's she received. They traded a look of confusion, and Karane giggled.

"Yes…?" She asked.

"Hm…oh, it's nothing. Never mind. Do you know where Link would be now?"

"I betcha he's sleeping in. It's okay thought, you're here to wake him up today." Pipit grinned.

"I've got to go, congratulations on your engagement." She scampered off, and left the two alone, and baffled.

"Thanks?" Karane shouted out. Zelda rushed down the stairs, and bumped into a buff chest. She backed away, and looked at who she hit. It was a tall, red headed boy, who had muscles to spare.

"Sorry about that." She apologized.

"Uh…no it's okay…People are talking about how Link's back now. I was thinking you guys should…catch up, y'know." He said awkwardly.

"Um, yes, we have…sort of. I've got to go talk to him, I'm sorry." She shook her head, and ran to Link's room, pulling the door open, running around it, and banging it closed. She held a fist to the door, and sucked in a deep breath of air, only to sigh it out. She startled Link, into sitting up in a rush.

"Wha-…Zelda? What are you doing here? What's wrong?" He rubbed his eyes, swung the blanket off of him, and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Huh? Oh no, I'm fine. Don't…" She said, turning to face the sleepy boy, remembering that he loved her. She felt unbelievably warm, being in his room so early. He was dressed in some grey sweat pants, and wore a thin blue t-shirt. His caramel colored bangs swung in front of his cerulean eyes, and the rest of it was a mess. She couldn't help but admit it was cute.

"Aw, Zel, they're fine. They've got their own…stuff going on. Don't worry about them." He stood up, and confronted her. She realized she was backed against the door a little too late. He whipped his hair to the side, and revealed his half open blue eyes. She blushed, and gripped the doorknob, just in case he was planning anything. Even if she sensed good in this guy, he was just a stranger to him. He gave a look of confusion, noticing her hand. He took a step back, holding his hands out, and almost tripped backwards on the carpet. "Zel…I'm not-" He reassured her, but she just ran out. She didn't know what she was doing or why, but she whisked out the front door. She stared blankly into the sky outside the door, and felt disgusting. Link quickly trailed behind, and caught up with her outside. He was careful not to touch her, or stand too close, since she was obviously not in the mood. "Zelda…you can't be so upset with yourself so easily. I know it's hard, and you're scared but you're stronger than that. I have things to show you, things to remind you of, thing's I want you to know. You can't give up this early. It's been just a day. One memory can't help you remember you remember who you are." She nodded her head and avoided looking into his eyes. She was reacting too quickly, and not thinking it through. She had no reason to run out on him, or all of her friends. They don't know what's going on, or what she's doing. She was scared of being rude, when that's exactly what she did.

"I-I'm sorry. I just…you're right. I'm afraid. I'm not comfortable here, or around everything or everyone I should know. I shouldn't of done what I did."

"No, just forget about it. Nothing happened." He gave her a small smile. "Are you ready for the day? I've got a few things planned."

She nodded her head, leading her eyes back to his. "I'm ready."


A/N? I don't know...I'm new. Anyway, sort of a short chapter. I had a good exciting thing planned, but I'm afraid of having the story be too choppy, or rushed so I'm taking my time. I know I'm not a very skilled or talented writer but I'm trying my best. I'm not looking for attention when I say that, but I'm looking for suggestions, and honest criticism. I want to improve it soo badly. Please, tell me what I can do to improve my writing, and get this story to its best. Thank you all for supporting me, and for your great reviews!
