A couple of hours later, Zelda was lying in her bedroom looking at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep. Zelda had tried everything from counting sheep to praying to the goddess, Hylia. Zelda got out of her bed and grabbed a laptop she found in her room; deciding that she would do some writing. She was met with a surprise when she got to the living room, though. Link was sitting with a drawing pad connected to his own laptop drawing away. He jumped when the door was opened. "What in the name of Din? Oh I'm sorry Zel! Did I wake you up?" He said this with such a look of concern that Zelda laughed softly.

"No, Link, I just haven't been able to sleep... It's nothing really. I'm just worried, that's all. I thought writing would take my mind off of things so..."

Link smiled, "Same here. Except I decided to try drawing. Hey, what if you show me the last chapter you wrote and I'll draw a picture to go with it?"

"Sounds good," Zelda said, opening her laptop, "Woah, it's all signed in and everything! These rooms really are miraculous."

Link read her chapter fairly quickly and began a drawing. He was drawing a picture of Ravio and Hilda walking in a park. Hilda was pointing at some birds while Ravio laughed at a joke the girl seemed to be telling. They sat together for about an hour each drawing or writing until Zelda sighed, "This is not helping! I can't come up with a good way to describe this darn city and I'm still not tired."

"It's not helping me either," Link said while shaking his head. "I can think of a way to help you describe that city, though."

"How?" Zelda asked frustratedly.

"We are literally in one of the biggest cities in Lorule! Come on get dressed, make sure it's warmly, I'm taking you out on the town."

Zelda was so excited she punched the air. She had wanted to see the city from the moment she got the first glimpse of it but there was no time in the SUV. "Yes! Thanks Link!"

"No problem."

They each came out of their rooms five minutes later. Zelda was wearing a plum sweater with black acid washed jeans while Link had a blue hoodie with grey jeans. They were in the atrium, which was completely empty at this point seeing as it was about eleven o'clock, a few moments later. Link and Zelda hurried out of the building into a busy street. The center seemed to be right in the middle of the city action. There was a theater a little ways down the street and several late night boutiques and restaurants were still open. There was even a shady tattoo shop with drunk people going in and out. At least she thought it was only a tattoo shop until Link told her it was also a front for the Sheikah weapon arsenal underneath it. Link pulled Zelda down the street into an ice cream parlor, saying, "This is the best place in the whole city. It's called Telma's. Her sundaes are legendary on the upper east side."

The parlor was adorable inside. The walls were a light aquamarine and had white trim. The tables were white and made out of a kind of iron material. However, the lady behind the counter was a sharp contrast to the rest of her shop. She was middle aged and had a very dark outfit that showed way too much. Her dark red hair was in dreadlocks and was pulled into a ponytail on the back of her head. She also had light freckles. Her eyes however matched the shop, they were a golden brown, which matched the old fixtures on the walls, and cheerful.

"Hey, you little rascal," she said warmly to Link. "This your girlfriend?"

Zelda and Link turned bright red and stammered:

"He's not..."

"She's not,"

"We're not,"

Link finished off by saying, "erm, together."
