Hey everybody! I'm new to this whole writing fanfiction thing, but I've been reading them for awhile now. I hope you enjoy my first story, remember R&R!

DISCLAIMER- I don't own The Legend of Zelda, or Link. Even though I wish I did…

"Malon, did he really?! This is fantastic!" Zelda Nohansen practically screamed into the phone to her best friend Malon. Zelda wasn't usually one to be overexcited, or even simply excited, so the sound of this scared her red-headed friend.

"Yes he really did! Goddesses Zel, I can't believe I'm going to be married!" Malon was still in some shock over the event, and Zelda's uncharacteristic raving wasn't helping.

"Malon! You need to come over so I can give you a hug okay?" Malon agreed to Zelda's suggestion, hung up the phone, and went to get ready.

Once the conversation had ended, Zelda ran around her cozy, but well decorated house happily. Her friend, correction, her best friend was getting married to a completely wonderful guy. Well wonderful for her at least. He and Zelda could never be romantically compatible. For example, Zelda had never been one for animals, whereas Malon practically owned a zoo of them along with her new fiancé. Further proof to Zelda, they were perfect for each other.

After 20 minutes of checking the clock, checking her phone, and tapping her fingers, Zelda was getting anxious. What in the world could be taking Malon such a long time? She only lived up the street. Shortly after though, Zelda's doorbell sounded its chipper chirp, announcing Malon had finally arrived. Instead of Zelda answering the door though, Malon just walked into Zelda's entryway, hung her coat on the rack to her right, turned to Zelda and said,

"Are you going to hug me or what?"

Zelda's response? A bear-tackle hug causing the two girls to land on the blue carpet of Zelda's foyer. After laughing about it for a few minutes, Zelda finally asked

"Malon, what in the world took you so long to get here? I thought you had died!"

"Oh I was just deciding what to wear." It was then Zelda noticed that Malon had taken extra care in getting ready today. Even though she was always very pretty it was more in a tomboy kind of way. Today she wore some dark jeans with a green belt, a pair of stylish winter boots, and a warm-looking sweater. All of this was set off perfectly by a silver necklace and Malon's curled hair. Zelda on the other hand, felt like a slob in some sweat pants and a pajama top.

"Well you look very nice. Can I ask why?"

"Zel, I have to tell everyone else about me and Sheik, and since you deafened me during our phone call, I decided to go tell them in person and I figured I might as well look good doing it."

"Did I really almost deafen you? That sounds pretty crazy Malon."

"Oh I know it does Ms. I'm too good to be loud or talk at all so I'll just sit and look pretty."

"Whatever! So have you thought of any plans? Like when, where, your bridesmaids, stuff like that?"

"Yeah well, I was hoping you could help me with that, as my maid of honor you know?"

"I'd love to Malon; I want to help make your wedding as perfect as possible." Zelda said with a big smile; in reality though, she hated planning of all kinds and instantly regretted saying those words.

"Oh perfect Zel! I knew that you'd be there for me!" Malon and Zelda proceeded to chat about petty things until the time came for Malon to leave and tell everybody else the good news. Zelda watched her friend skip to her car and back out of the driveway before closing the front door. She then proceeded to plop down on her couch and sigh. Sure she was ecstatic for Malon, but what had he gotten herself into?

Zelda and Malon were sitting comfortably in the plush chairs of their favorite nail salon, Zora's Domain, which happened to be owned by their friend Ruto and her family. It was almost closing, and Ruto was finishing up with the last customer of the night. Once their Thai friend was done she calmly asked,

"So Mallie, when do we find out if we're your bridesmaids or not?" Zelda rolled her eyes towards Ruto. Surely she had to know Malon wouldn't have asked to meet the gang here if some of them were left out of the bridal party. That was just how Ruto was though, a little bit vapid. It didn't help that she was completely gorgeous, with long, straight black hair, and a petite figure, not to mention perfect nails. Zora Nails was also one of the best nail salons in Castle Town, so Ruto was pretty wealthy also.

"Oh Ruto, I'll have to save the surprise until everyone else gets over here." Malon retorted happily.

Right on cue the bell on the door jingled meaning the last two friends, Saria and Midna, had arrived. Saria was wearing her favorite environmental hoodie and recycled blue jeans, along with some retro-glam (also recycled) earrings. Saria was the second shortest of the group, only an inch taller that Ruto, however she was completely comfortable with herself, expressed by the green streaks in her hair. Midna was exactly opposite of Saria, she wore black denim skinny jeans and a loose, dark purple top under a tan trench coat that complimented her dark brown hair. Midna was the tallest in the group, standing at 5'10, two complete inches taller than Zelda, the second tallest, without heels. Midna was also the only one who could intimidate Zelda, if given the chance; even so the girls were good friends.

"Malon! I just want to say congratulations again! I can't believe you're already getting married, we're only 23 for Din's sake!"

"I can't believe it either Saria! I never would have thought I'd be the first to get married out of all us sexy ladies." The girls had a laugh after Malon said this and chose their favorite places to sit; Ruto in her swirling chair, Saria laying on the waiting couch, Midna in the armchair, Zelda on the window seat, and Malon on the nail table. Once they had gotten comfortable Malon said,

"So in case you hadn't realized," Malon looked at Ruto, "All of you are going to be my bridesmaids!" Ruto and Saria jumped up from their respective places in their giddiness. Midna shot a quick smile to Malon. Zelda though, sat on the window bench with a pensive look on her face. She was happy for Malon, but had already known she was a bridesmaid, correction the maid of honor, so there was no shock to this statement.

"Mallie, what color are you thinking for the dresses? I mean, our tastes are so different and all." Ruto asked.

"Hmmm well I haven't thought about that yet. I'm always welcome for suggestions!" Saria said forest green, Ruto wanted light blue, and Midna suggested purple plain and simple. The girls were so wrapped up in their discussion about dress color; they hardly noticed Zelda staring into space. Later in the discussion though Saria asked,

"Malon, do you know who our escorts are going to be?"

"Your boyfriends of course! Did you forget that you guys met them all through Sheik?"

"This is fabulous! It was truly made in heaven!" Ruto raved. "Wait though, Zelda doesn't have a boyfriend."

Upon hearing her name, and her friend discussing her lack of a boyfriend, Zelda snapped her attention to the group.

"Oh it's okay; I'll just be partnered with whomever."

"Good because Sheik's best man is single too, and you two would make a really cute couple, and I'm glad you're okay with some guy being your escort and all,"

"Who is it Malon? Is he hot?" Saria jokingly asked, even though she was perfectly happy with Mido since his attitude calmed down.

Malon bit her lip, her favorite nervous habit,

"Well, he's definitely not unattractive, and I mean he is Sheik's best friend,"

"Malon. Who is it?" Zelda repeated the question.

"Link." Malon said quietly. Her friend Zelda however was about to be anything but quiet.

"LINK? As in Link Forrester? The boy who tortured me through Anatomy and Psychology freshman year?! Malon, why would you do that?" Zelda pleaded with her best friend. Link had managed to take every potential awkward situation and make a joke about it, with Zelda being the butt of that joke. Especially in Anatomy. Since Zelda had the highest grade, Link often joked that Zelda should come to his apartment and "tutor" him. Her friends said that he was just trying to hit on her; Zelda was simply not amused.

"Oh Zel, it's been five years for Din's sake. I was hoping you would have let it go or have completely forgotten by now." Malon rolled her eyes at Zelda, her friend needed to learn how to let go of a grudge. Saria and Midna looked on cautiously, when Zelda was mad; it was never a good idea to mess with her. Sadly Ruto hadn't realized this, since she had only known Zelda for two years, and Zelda didn't get mad often.

"Zelda, chill out! So what if he messed with you back in the day, I'm sure he's grown up since then. Besides, he is really hot. I mean, if my parents didn't want me to be with Mikau and we weren't totally meant for each other, I'd be all over that." Ruto said blatantly. Her parents had strongly "suggested" that she be with an Asian, and when she met Mikau, she knew she'd be staying with him. Her shallow side however, let her check out other boys as she pleased.

"Chill out Ruto! I refuse to chill out! Link embarrassed me in front of 2 classes of 200, or more, people!" Zelda had stood up to protest with Malon, but after delivering this last sentence, she plopped back down on her seat in a huff and folded her arms across her chest. A few moments of silence passed.

"Ummm, well this is awkward, but I think that it's time for us to be heading home. Don't you agree Saria?" Midna asked, tactfully changing the subject.

"Oh yeah, it is pretty late. I'm going to have to go now." Saria agreed and both left the nail salon.

"Oh wow it is late." Malon said after seeing the clock read 10:44 PM, "I think it's time for me and Zelda to go too." Zelda looked up at her friend, sighed, and started to leave, when Ruto called out,

"I'm sorry if I offended you Zelda, I didn't realize that you were so serious about hating him." Zelda had already left the building, so Malon quickly said goodbye to her friend. The red head left the store and chased after Zelda.

"What the hell was that Zelda?" Zelda knew Malon was serious, since she called her by her entire first name. And Zelda wasn't sure what had just happened herself actually.

"I'm sorry Malon. I shouldn't have snapped like that, but really, Link Forrester?"

"Zelda, give it a chance. Maybe he's changed, and if he hasn't, then I'll punch him if he gets out of line. Please, don't make me have to reorganize my bridal party based on your grudges." Zelda gave this some consideration. Maybe Link had changed. This might not be a horrible experience after all. Zelda sighed,

"Alright, but this is for you. Not me, not Sheik, and most definitely not Link."

"Aww Zel I knew you'd come around for me! It is pretty late though and Sheik will be wondering where I am, so I'll talk to you soon okay?" Malon and Zelda proceeded to say goodbye to one another. Zelda watched Malon run over to her car before getting into her own. Releasing yet another sigh Zelda said to herself,

"And this is just the beginning."

Thanks for reading everybody! Remember this is my first fic, so positive reviews would be loved. I know that

1) Sheik is really Zelda, but I like to think of them as separate people

2) This follows no specific game or anything, I just like the characters :]

So again, thanks for reading! It means a lot to me. The second chapter should be up soon, seeing as I really like this idea. So until next time, bye!

PS- Please excuse any mistakes or lame plot stuff. Since I'm new to this site, I haven't found an editor yet.
