Friends; Zelink, Modern (The Legend Of Zelda)

New Friends, New Enemies

Throughout the next few weeks Zelda grew closer to her new friends. She sat with them when she could, and every day at lunch was fun. She learned that Fi was much like a robot in how she talked and analyzed the world. Probability was probably her favorite word, and she did actually care about Zelda. She wasn't complaining about her new friend's strange personality, it was better than most of her old popular friends. At least she was real. 

Agitha was completely obsessed with bugs of all kinds, and usually had a jar filled with various insects in her bag. The poor things. For the most part Agitha was a kind and caring girl. 

While Ravio might have looked like Link, he lacked Link's confidence. He wasn't exactly quiet though... no... it was more like he was timid. After a few weeks Ravio finally told her about the girl he had left behind at Lorule High. She was popular like Zelda, and he said that, in a way, Zelda reminded him of Hilda. He admitted that the reason he had transferred schools was because he couldn't stand to see Hilda falling into the bad crowd. "I tried to help her...I did, but...she didn't want it, so...I ran away."

Now Midna... she was an interesting one. Where she had seemed grouchy at first to Zelda, she realized that was just how Midna could be sometimes. Other times she was the life of the lunch table. If one word was to describe Midna, it would be sassy. 

Midna was the first friend she had ever invited over to her house. Lana had been over of course, but Lana always invited herself over, or just showed up.

At first Midna had refused, but when Zelda elaborated that her parents were usually gone, she accepted. 

It turned out that she really liked big dogs. She had a wolf hybrid that was massive, much to Zelda's surprise when she had first met it. It was only kind to her once the dark-skinned girl had introduced her to it. She was told his name was Hero, which she thought was oddly fitting for that majestic beast.

Link and Zelda had started going out every Friday after school. But as that Wednesday was the official start of their thanksgiving break, they had decided to go out on Wednesday instead. 

"I remembered gloves this time." Zelda said. 

"Pity," Link replied with a small smirk as he traced a small circle on her palm with his thumb. Unfortunately since they were both wearing gloves she could barely feel it.

Zelda still blushed; she knew how it was supposed to feel, he'd done that before. Never in her single days had she suspected that holding hands could be so satisfying. 

"Where do you want to go today? Any new movies you want to see?" Link asked.

Clearing her head took only a second. "Not that I know of-" Zelda's voice died as she spotted Lana on the path in front of her. She and Lana hadn't said very kind things to each other lately, all while wrapped up in the pretense of pleasantry.

Lana's face didn't have any trance of pleasantry today though.

"She must have been hiding until we came along... to not notice her until she was upon us..." Zelda commented under her breath. 

Link nodded slowly, and they came to a stop a few yards away from Lana. "What do you want?" he asked.

Lana smiled suddenly, and her expression was chilling. "Oh, you'll figure it out." 

From the bushes beside her there was a slight rustle and Dark appeared, joining Lana. "We're just repaying a favor," he said icily. His nose didn't look all that different. 

Dang, I didn't manage to break it that badly then... "Oh? What favor?" 

"The favor of being humiliated by a little princess."
