Ghirahim's My Roommate? (Arc 1)

13. The Ball

Reina: I had to make several edits to make a more logical story.

"Are we there yet?" Aryll asked.

I glared at her. "Don't even start that game, Aryll."

"Are we there yet?" She asked again.

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No!"

"Are we there yet?" Sheik asked, smirking.

"No!"

"Are we there yet?" He asked again.

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"Heck no, Sheik!" Lexy replied. "We are in the middle of the road!"

I looked at Lexy. "Thanks."

She nodded back. "No problem. I have a brother who does that too."

Sheik looked like he was trying not to laugh. "Sorry, I just wanted to try it."

I sighed. "It's fine. Just don't do it again."

Sheik nodded. "Promise."

The four of us were headed to Zelda's Ball. Originally, Aryll had no clue who to go with, so Sheik volunteered, as he was an ally of Zelda, Vaati could get in trouble for appearing at the castle, Shadow was like her brother (apparently he is our brother), and Ghirahim... Self-explanatory. We had gotten ready, and then we were informed that a carriage would take us, much to our chagrin.

I looked back at Lexy. Her blonde hair was braided behind her, and Alicia had inserted gems in it. She wore a dark blue dress with long sleeves and it had swirls on it, like a winter dress. She originally wanted to wear a dress with a skull on it, but Zelda didn't allow stuff like that in her court.

Aryll wore a pink dress with sleeves, with hearts all over it and a bow tied in the back. Her hair was loose, and she wore our mother's ruby necklace. For a moment, she looked like Mom, and I quickly blinked, only to see Aryll smiling at me.

Sheik wore a tuxedo like me, and everyone agreed that it didn't look good on us. Sheik looked like himself in his Sheikah outfit, and apparently I looked good in everything I owned but a tuxedo, according to Lexy and Alicia. Crazy girls.

Aryll brought me out of my thoughts. "You look like Dad."

"You look like Mom."

Aryll sniffed. "I miss them."

I reached to her and squeezed her hand. "I do too."

Sheik looked at us. "You guys okay?"

"Not really..." I admitted.

We rode in silence for a bit. Aryll began to cry, and I hugged her. Sheik looked away, thinking about his family, and Lexy looked deep in thought. We sat there in silence, making it seem forever although it was only a few minutes.

"Can we go back home now?" Aryll asked as we arrived at the castle.

"Can't," I responded. I got off and helped Lexy out. Sheik did the same with Aryll. We all waved at the driver, who didn't notice us. We shrugged and walked to the castle. Many people didn't notice us, and I actually thought of returning home.
