16 year old Link was now enjoying the peace that had come around since his latest victory over Ganondorf. He had journeyed from Hyrule and found a place called Scuttle Town. He had made friends with the residents, including their protector a young genie girl his age by the name of Shantae.

He had been staying there for a while but now he had to deal with a latest annoyance from Shantae about a prank she had done, she had taken the Master Sword and his Hylian Shield and put them around a magical shield on his table that he was not able to penetrate. He thought she had left it on his table (in the hotel he was staying in) just to further annoy him, that there were there but he was unable to get to them.

She had smugly told him that she would only undo the shield if he would come over to the lighthouse where she lived and be an audience to her dancing. He didn't know why he she would go to all the trouble of this just to have him watch her dance but he knew Princess Zelda would be furious if was unable to bring back one of Hyrule's most valued treasures in the Master Sword.

He had knocked on the door and Shantae answered it with a confident smile as she dragged him in by the arm and placed him in a chair in the room where she lived. "Please be amazed, as I usually like to practice by myself but I decided I wanted my new friend to witness this." Shantae told him.

She then started to dance and Link had to admit it was a bit mesmerising and he thought the purple haired genie girl was pretty. He knew there were belly dancers in Hyrule but he was too embarrassed by their attire to pay much attention to them.

He was taken by surprised as Shantae blew a kiss at him, she then kissed the palm of her hand and placed the palm where had kissed it to Link's mouth. "Sorry about all this, it's just that I couldn't deny how much I liked my new elf warrior friend than just friends..." Shantae admitted to him a bit of uncertainty in her tone and face due to the idea that she could be rejected.

"Wait? How can a powerful genie like a normal mortal like me?" Link asked not sure what to say as Shantae shook her head.

"Well my mother was a genie and that didn't stop her from falling in love with my dad." Shantae told him and then laughed at his confused expression. "Oh, sorry I didn't realise I hadn't told you yet. I'm only half genie, genie mother and mortal father." Shantae told him as Link stood up and walked towards her.

It might take some getting used to with him living in Hyrule and Shantae in Scuttle Town but he had to admit he was charmed by how nice and upbeat she was. It might be worth seeing how it plays out; if it didn't turn out they could just stay friends but wanted to see where it would take them...

Link gave her a smile and looked like he was about to kiss her and Shantae grew excited but turned to disappointment when he stopped. She was unable to react as Link went to the back of her and held her in his hands. "I want to see if my new girlfriend is ticklish." Link told her and then started tickling her midriff.

Shantae was unable to stop the laughs from getting out; it would be five minutes until Link let her go. They then began asking where to go for their first date but before he forgot he had Shantae undid her magical shield around his weapons.

I wanted to do a Shantae chapter and for a next one I am thinking of doing a Mortal Kombat character like Kitana or Jade. What do you think and still please PM me if you have any ideas for video game women for future chapters.
