ZeLink - Spirit Tracks Sequel

Chapter 5 - The Anouki Festival

Zelda's POV

I was almost exploding with excitment, I've never seen the Northern Lights before but now I am - with Link. I was planning on telling Link how I feel tonight but I wasn't sure how. I walked around the passenger cart in fustration.

Me and Link were on our way to the snow realm. I stuck my head out the window and saw the beautiful snow before me. I quickly stumbled back after realising how cold it was. I closed the window and sat down.

Brrrr, It's so cold! Well, I should know that as I'm on my way through the snow realm, duh.

After a few more minutes of train riding, we arrived.

Link's POV

I stopped the train at the station and jumped off. "Hey, guy!" shouted a giant group of Anouki. They all ran and hugged me so tight that I could barely breath. "H-ey" I struggled to say.

Zelda came out the train and started laughing hard. The Anouki let go of me and bowed down infront of Zelda. Zelda laughed even harder "You don't have to respect me like I'm a goddess!" she said between laughs.

"Sorry, Princess Zelda." Honcho said. "Please, call me Zelda." Zelda said as she finally stopped laughing.

"So, what brings you to our village, guy?" Asked Honcho. "We're here for the Anouki Festival." I said happily.

"Ah! Why didn't you say so? It's already started. Enjoy the celebration, the Northern Lights start soon." Explained Honcho as all the Anouki went off and had their fun.

"Come on, Link! Let's have fun!" Zelda said. Hand-in-hand we walked around the town. The decorations were beautiful, they shone through the town, warming the freezing air.

"Hey, think those two are on a date?" Asked the DJ Anouki. "Think so. They're so lovey-dovey aren't they, guy." Replied the other Anouki "Lay down some sweet tunes and see if they dance." The DJ played a love tune.

"Um, Link, would you like to dance?" Asked Zelda while blushing madly. "Sure, I'd love to" I said while blushing aswell.

I took Zelda by the hand and led her to the dance floor. We looked like roses with how much we blushed together. Me and Zelda were the only people on the dance floor, it felt awkward.

To take away the shame, I stared into Zelda's eyes. She done the same. "Shall we?" I asked while grinning slightly. "I'd love to, Link." Zelda said while blushing and moving closer by the second.
Inches apart, I took Zelda's hand and we got ourselves into a traditional dancing position. We started circling the dance floor in tune with the music. After a while we got into it.

I spun Zelda around as if we were ballroom dancing. I watched her beautiful hair twirl in the cold wind. I heard the crowd of Anouki cheering for our dancing in the background but the main thing I heard was the beating of my own heart.

Me and Zelda danced in perfect sync with eachother, as if we were a married couple. I gazed into her pale blue eyes and she done the same with my own. Zelda was blushing the whole time. We danced for around half an hour.

I don't usually get scared but now was as if I was jumping out of the sky. The music was nearly at an end. Zelda dipped down low and I supported her in my arms. The final beat of the music stopped as I found my face inches apart from Zelda's.

I knew what was coming and now I was more scared than ever. Zelda's eyes fluttered closed and she got even closer to me, I done the same.

Suddenly, just as our lips were about to touch, Honcho came running up to us, ruining the moment. "Nice dancing, gu- oh, am I interupting something?" He asked stupidly. I lifted Zelda to her feet and blushed harder than ever. "Hm, guess so. Well, sorry. The Northern Lights will be starting soon, just to let you know, guy." Explained Honcho.

Me and Zelda stood there awkwardly, not even making eye contact. I can't believe that just happened. We nearly kissed. "I, um.." I started. Zelda looked at me then suddenly realised what Honcho said. "Want to go somewhere ... Alone to see the Northern Lights?" Zelda asked me nervously.

"Sure. At least we can get away from Honcho and the others." I said. We both laughed then headed to the train to find a new place to see the Northern Lights.

Chapter 5 finished. Darn Honcho ruining the monent!!! Sorry that this one was slightly shorter than the others but I promise that the next chapter will be long and awesome. I just want to point out that where I live I spell 'Realize' as 'Realise'. Please no hate comments about it because It's just the way it works in the UK. Hope you enjoyed! Stay tuned!
