Part 15 - The Dates

(A new chapter, yay! Sorry it's taken me so long! The next chapters have some weird indentation but I'm to lazy to fix it right now lol. Also I'm sorry for publishing like twenty chapters at once lmao)

The next morning you awake to the sound of your alarm. Slowly you pull yourself out of bed with heavy eyes. At first you're confused because you don't recognize your surroundings, but then you remember you're in the mansion! You had slept great on this bed, it was like sleeping on clouds. You feel like royalty as you get up and stretch, looking at the ocean waves crashing on the shore through the huge windows. You start to get ready for the day. You're still a little groggy so you splash some water in your face and shower. Once you get dressed, you start walking downstairs. The savory smell of bacon and eggs fills your nose as you walk into the kitchen. Wild was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, and all the other links were there as well.

"Good morning." You nod at Wild with a smile. He replies with a small nod as if to say it back. "That smells amazing. I didn't know you cooked." You say cheerfully.

"It's a hobby of mine." Wild replies as he pushes the eggs off the pan and onto a clean plate. He hands it to you along with some salt and pepper.

"Thanks." You reply while applying a generous amount of salt to your eggs. You take a bite and are surprised at how good it tastes.

"I didn't know that plain eggs could taste this good." You say with a mouthful of eggs in your mouth. Wild shrugged the comment off, but you could've sworn you saw a slight smile from the tip of his mouth. You take an open seat at the island, with Cap at your left and Majora at your right. Cap is slurping down his egg, leaving yolk around his mouth.

"Jeez," you say as you watch him, "I feel like I'm witnessing cannibalism."

"Do you think that my only personality trait is making bird puns?" He says with a furrowed brow and a smile.

"Yes. Yes I do." You replied with a laugh.

"Can you blame me? This breakfast is EGGcelent." You sigh.

"Well you just proved my point." You turn to your left where Majora is sitting. He's poking at his bacon with a fork, looking like he's about to fall asleep. "Are you alright? You look exhausted."

"Well yeah," Majora raised his voice and turned to the table, where the other Links were chatting and eating. "I'm EXHAUSTED, because SOMEONE was making noise ALL NIGHT." Twilight smiled and chucked, looking guilty.

"What happened?" You ask, confused.

"Well my room happens to be right under his, and all I heard was THUMPING the entire night." He said angrily.

"Yeah... sorry about that." Twi said, itching the back of his head.

"Well? I'd like an explanation please!" Majora yelled.

"I'm very clumsy and I kept falling out of bed." Twi replied flatly, a hint of annoyance in his tone. Majora looked like he wanted to strangle him.

"Suuuuure." He mumbled as he turned back to his plate. Suddenly, the back door of the house flew open with an ear-splitting boom.

"You're all too naive, clearly there was some hanky panky going on!" Dark Link announced, with his finger pointing forward and a sly smile. Twi looked flustered.

"It's not like that I swear! And you're not even a contestant. You shouldn't even be here! Go away!" He said angrily. The producer turned to you.

"Are you okay with him being a contestant (Y/N)?" You turned and looked at the Links, who were all shaking their heads aggressively.

"I mean... yeah." You shrugged.

"What!?" All the Links yell in unison.

"You don't understand! We've known this guy for years and all he ever does is scheme and plot against us!" Majora shouted.

"Well, he hasn't done anything bad yet. Maybe we should give him a chance." You replied with another shrug.

"He literally worked with THE Ganon!" Cap squawked ;).

"Ok then, we'll just make sure he's always under heavy surveillance." You shrugged. "I'm trying to keep an open mind. Clearly none of you have ever heard of a redemption arc. Maybe there's some good in him! And what are the chances of him succeeding at some sort of evil plot anyway? There are five Links against one. I think you could all handle him. That is unless you're all too weak." You taunt.

"Maybe (Y/N)'s right, as long as we always keep an eye on him." Sky said quietly. Majora groaned and rolled his eyes.

"These guys wouldn't win a fist fight with a bazooka!" Majora exclaimed.

"Wanna test that theory?" Twi retorted with a growl.

"Fight, fight, fight!" Dark Link chanted. Wild and Cap glared in his direction.

"Stop EGGing them on Dark Link! This is exactly our point!" Majora turned around and punched Cap. "Ouchie," he said.

"I SWEAR IF YOU MAKE ONE MORE BIRD PUN I'M GOING TO CRACK OPEN THAT 'EGG' HEAD OF YOURS!" Majora was pissed.

"Everybody calm down!" Sky yells. "I just want her to be safe, but, If that's what (Y/N) wants, then we should listen." Everyone fell silent.

"Hmph." Twi crossed his arms.

"Listen," the producer said. "(Y/N) is the bachelorette. We should listen to what she says. Plus she's right, we can always keep a close watch on him." You had a feeling that she only wanted Dark Link in for the drama. "Why don't we just move on with today's activities, okay? Today, each person will plan a special date with (Y/N). You can request to go anywhere in town. She'll go on the dates one by one over the next two days. Three dates tomorrow, and three the next day. Afterwards, she'll give a rose to whichever person took her to the best one."

"Wait, then what do I do for the rest of the day?" You asked.

"Well, you didn't have much time to explore yesterday, so you can explore the mansion today! Plus, it shouldn't take the Links all day to plan. They'll probably finish within the next few hours." The producer said.

"Well ok then. I guess I'll see you guys in a bit." You say. All the Links nodded and separated.
