Diana was sketching Link as he slowly practiced his sword techniques.

Link: So you're going to visit the other kingdoms?

Diana: Yeah, It'll be nice to get out.

Diana: Besides my father wants me with him so I can learn something about "war and peace".

Link: Wish I could come. But Momo won't let me.

Link: But I was thinking you could hide me in your luggage!

Diana: Let's not start an international incident and several wars.

Link: Ugh. Fine.

Link: How long will you be gone for?

Diana: At least six months.

Link's sword flies out of his hands.

Link: Six months? But that's like... 30 times 6!

Diana: It's at least 6 months. Could be more.

Link: Wow... A whole year without you...

Diana: Oi! Sound more distraught!

Link:(faking it) Oh no...

Diana: Hmph! You have a point!

Diana: A year without you... Maybe I'll find someone to marry!

Diana: Or even better! I'll find an ancient prophecy about how I need to save the world! Without you.

Link: As if!

Link: I'm more likely to defeat Momo! And get out of this country!

Link/Diana:....(smiles)

Diana: I'll be sure to write. So you better write back. And write when something's happened.

Link: Be sure not to get into trouble. It would be SOOO annoying to have to play out the damsel in distress troupe.

Link: As you know, I'm more about a manly adventure of self-discovery.

Diana:(rolls eyes)

Link/Diana:...

Link/Diana:(chuckles)

Diana: I better prepare my luggage. I think my father said we leave tomorrow morning.

Diana: You better be there.

Link: Worry about not forgetting your makeup. Wouldn't want people confusing you for a monster.

Diana: You're just mad you'll never be taller than me.

Link: In a year, I'll have enough inches to make you shake!

Diana:(blushes) Phrasing!

Link: Huh? What's wrong with my phrasing?

Diana: Maybe in a year, you'll be smart enough to get it.

Finishing her sketch, Diana packs up her pencils and leaves to pack up her stuff. Link uses the rest of the day to prepare a little gift.

(The next morning....)

As the servants packed the bags of the King and Princess, Link snuck over to Diana to say their goodbyes.

Link: Jeez, a whole year without you threatening to have me hanged...

Diana: A whole year without your high jinx...

Link/Diana:...

Link: Without you, I'll have so much more time to train. So don't be shocked when you get back and I'm considered a legendary swordsman.

Diana: Yeah, yeah. The only one who'll be flabbergasted, is you.

Link: How so?

Diana:....

Diana: You'll see.

Link: If you say so...

He pulls out a small box, handing it to Diana.

Diana: What's this?

Link: I got you a music box... Just in case you get homesick.

Diana:(smiles)

Kissing him on the cheek, Diana heads off with her father to the kingdoms far from here. Diana and Link would write to each other. However, these letters were a mixed bag...

"Dear Link...

In my travels across these lands, I've had to sit through many boring discussions.

These adults are so foolish. Embellishing the complexities of their issues. If I was in power, I could solve them with no hassle.

Perhaps you were right. I should have smuggled you along and started a few wars.

That would have at least forced them all into action.

But enough politics. How are you?

Yours truly; D."

"Dear Diana...

Neat."

"Dear Link...

I waited two weeks for a "neat"!?

Give me more than that, damn it! I'm so bored! This is the only reliable source of entertainment!

Now after you read this, take a pen, and write me a real damn letter! And since I know you might write something even shorter out of spite...

I might have a "gift" for you if you write me a thoughtful message.

Yours filled with wrath, D."

"Dear Diana...

You've caught my interest. So...

In the many moons that you've been gone, I've caught myself thinking of you.

But I must steady my hand.

And continue to train.

Momo's vicious parenting is all to make me strong. Both to defend myself and those I care for, which in the end, is you.

Yours faithfully, L.

P.S.; I hope the gift is meat or a cool weapon. If you can get a Proto weapon, I'll be happy."

"Dear Link...

You should have stopped at "Yours Faithfully", but whatever. I'll throw you a bone, since before your P.S., it was heartwarming.

Begrudgingly, D."

"Dear Diana...

You sent me a lock of your hair?

Ew. Why?

Confused, L."

"Dear Link...

It's supposed to be romantic!

That way, you'll always have a part of me with you, dumbass.

Angrily, D."

"Dear Diana...

You do realize, that if someone finds out that I have this hair, they'll think I'm a creep.

Don't act like you don't know this. I know you did to spite me.

If you need ANOTHER example of a real gift, let me know.

L."

(Crumple)

Diana: That stupid little... Ugh!

Diana:(mumbles) He wants a "real" gift? Oh, I'll give him a gift that he'll never forget-

Diana:(muffled) Mhmh!?!

Grabbed from behind on her way to bed, Diana is dragged out of her room by two men.

She desperately tried to break free, but there was no hope, she could not hope to break free from these professionals.

(Step)

(Step)

(Step)

Luckily, fate had different plans.

Happening upon this kidnapping was a prince from another kingdom. Like Diana, his father brought him along to learn more about the political side of rulership.

???: You made the world's biggest mistake.

Unlike Diana, this Prince possessed more than royal power.

They pulled a large red sword from their back. It glowed blue, and in a flash, the men were dead. Diana found herself in the arms of this prince.

Diana: Huh? You're...?!

This prince possessed the same face as Link, for he was his twin brother, Adam.

Adam: I'm Adam. And you're... Princess Diana. I remember playing with you when we were younger.

Walking over the chopped-up bodies of the kidnappers, and carries her back to her room.

(Days later...)

Adam and Diana sat for a cup of coffee.

Diana: How have you been?

Adam: I live with a tyrant. Despite that, not bad.

Adam: How are you holding up after... You-know-what.

Diana: I've barely slept.

Diana: At this point, I can't wait to go home.

Adam: You need to get yourself a personal guard.

Diana: I guess I just got complacent with a certain someone always coming to my rescue.

Diana:(mumbles) I guess in spirit, they still are...

She attempts to take a sip of coffee but finds she's out. But quick on the refill, Adam gives her more coffee.

Diana: Hmph! That's more-

Diana:(clears throat)

Diana: Apologies, force of habit.

Adam: What habit?

Diana: Don't worry about it, dummy-

Diana: Damn it! I did it again!

Adam: Uh-huh...?

Diana:(sips)

Diana:(sigh)

Diana:(mind) Does he know about Link...? Is he allowed to know?

Diana: L-(clears throat)

Diana: Adam. About your brother-

Adam: I don't wish to talk about this.

Diana: Oh... Alright...

Later that night, Diana sat awake, trying to write a letter to Link.

Diana: Should I tell him...?

Diana: He might get jealous- no... I don't want that...

Diana: And I can't tell him about the incident... He'd come running... Though I'd like him to...

Diana:(sigh)

She hugs her legs.

Diana:(mind) Link and Adam, even after being apart for so long, are still identical.

Diana:(mind) But how they act couldn't be more different...

Diana: I miss you, Link...

To be continued....
