In the Heat of Battle

Chapter Two

Hello, and welcome to chapter two of In the Heat of Battle! I'm your author, Minna.

Now, this is the continuation from the first chapter... starting off with a celebration.

Why? Because it was the last Melee battle for the year (until September), and Link and Sheik both won. So, yeah, mucho celebration.

So, read and review, of course, and enjoy!

When Link and Sheik returned to the mansion, there was much cheering.

"I'm so happy!" Zelda said, hugging Link, her best friend since childhood.

Link embraced Zelda back.

"What, that I won?"

Zelda shook her head, "No. That you and Sheik got together."

Meanwhile, a lot of people were congratulating Sheik.

"That was funny when you kicked Kirby's sorry fat ass!" Roy said, smacking Sheik on the back.

"And Roy was throwing popcorn the whole time at Kirby, screaming it was illegal; good job. Also... the kiss was a nice.. act," Marth said, putting a hand on the Sheikah's shoulder.

"It was not an act," Link said, coming up behind the blue headed swordsman, "It was real."

The whole room went quiet, save for Peach who was still cheering.

Young Link whacked her over the head with his Mountain Dew bottle and knocked her out.

Fox managed to speak.

"You mean... it wasn't planned?"

Link shook his head.

"Of course not. It was spur of the moment."

He looked at the silent group and added, "I guess when you are in the heat of battle you do not think of things."

And with that Link wrapped his arms around Sheik's neck and kissed him again.

The surprised Sheikah got over the shock and engaged in a kissing contest with the Hylian.

That night, Sheik got his journal out.

"I wonder what would happen if someone found out I have a journal," he mused, opening it and grabbing his pen that was on his nightstand.

Dear Journal,

I had the most wonderful day. Er, that is, in the sense that something happened that would probably have never happened, but I digress.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Today was the last Melee battle of the season, and it was against Samus and Kirby. My teammate was Link. What happened was this...

And Sheik wrote down everything that had happened.

It was amazing. Right in the heat of battle Link kissed me. He said it was spur of the moment. Heh, I do not think that's true.

Strange things happen in the heat of battle.

He closed his journal.

'Strange things do happen in the heat of battle,' he thought and closed his eyes.
