A Forgotten Love

Link walked around the castle, watching every guard from a window, watching how Shining Armor acted towards the guards. He was no longer the captain, but a regular guard. Link frowned when he saw Shining fight a guard with his full strength. He wasn't getting it right, was he? He was suppose to show the princesses he was good and would be a good choice to remake him the captain again. Nothing Shining said was ever thought about to Link. He was different than them, yes, but was that such a crime? He was a hero. He lived to protect the innocent.

Then at that moment, he saw Shining Armor. He sighed and walked up to him, with a brave face too.

"Shining Armor." Link began, "I need to ask you something."

"What?" Okay, he was sounding mad, "What do you want!?"

"Why do you hate me?"

"What?"

"Why do you hate me?" Link repeated.

"I...Don't know." Shining said, honestly, "I just don't like you for some reason."

"Shining, look, " Link started, "I may not get why you don't like me. But there must be something we like."

"Do you like...Training?"

"Not much."

"Swords?"

"Yeah!"

"So we both like swords." Shining said.

"Yeah, we do." Link agreed, "Do you like...Um..."

"Um...."

"Northern Lights!" They both said in harmony, they looked at each other in shock.

"You like the Northern Lights?" Link asked.

"YOU like them?" Shining asked.

Link nodded, and then Shining did. Okay, so they both liked the Northern Lights. That's a started.

"Which Princess do you like more?" Shining asked.

"Night."

"Love."

They looked at each other and stared. Both felt their cheeks heating up. Did they must admit who they like?

"D-Did you say love?" Link asked.

"Did you say night?" Shining asked him.

"Yes." They both said.

Twilight made her way to the bedroom of Princess Luna. There was something on Twilight's mind that she wanted to ask Luna about. Something that had Link in it.

Knocking on her door, Twilight stood back, waiting for Luna's answer.

"Come on in."

Taking a deep breath, Twilight opened the door and walked in. She saw Luna sitting on her bed, reading something.

"Luna, I need to ask you something." Twilight said.

"And what would that be?"

"Well, I want to know what you think about Link."

"Why would you want to know that?"

"Well, I see how he looks at you." Twilight sounded...Off, "And I want to know how you feel about him."

"Well, I guess I like him." Luna answered honestly, "He's a good guy."

Twilight had fury in her eyes, but didn't show it.

"Nice to know." Okay, what was up with her? "But I think he doesn't like you that much."

"And how do you know that?" Luna asked, Twilight didn't say anything, "Did you talk to him?"

Twilight shook her head, "But-"

"So you have NO proof of this." Luna had cut Twilight off.

It was crazy how Link and Shining went from enemies to friends. Both had found out that they made more in common then they thought. Twilight wasn't happy with how Link looked at Luna, Shining had tried to tell her different but that didn't work. Link had spent more time with Luna than anyone would think and he gave her presents, like he would do for Zelda.

"Twi, you need to let this go." Shining said, "Trying to kill Luna won't make Link love you."

"How do you know?" Twilight asked.

"Cadance liked someone else before me." Shining admitted, "And look how it turned out. We're married."

"But you're never at the empire."

"Because she told me to help out with Link being here." Shining said.

"So? It'll work."

"No, it won't!"

"It will!"

"Twilight, listen to me! Doing won't do anything but say your a murder!"

"How will this say I'm a murder?"

"Okay, maybe it won't. But it'll get you exiled! You how protective Celestia is of her sister!"

"She won't know."

"She will!"

"How?"

"Twilight, they pass each other every night and day! Celestia goes and checks on her sister when she sleeping in the day! Right before the day court starts!"

Twilight looked at her brother, dumbfound. How could she forget that? It was important that Luna is in her own bedroom when she kills her! She would cover up the wounds with a blanket!

"Twilight. She also goes right up to her." Shining reminded, "She doesn't like the fact she lost her for a thousand years, and she afraid she'll lose her again!"

Twilight stopped, "Oh..."

"You might be a princess, but you can't move the sun or moon! Only they can!"

"Okay, I'll talk to Link instead of killing Luna."

"Thank you!"

Shining watched as Twilight went to go found Link. He sighed and knew this wouldn't end well for Twilight. He was told by Link that he was in love with Luna. No one else.  But what could you do? Nothing. Love was love. As Cadance put it. It wasn't Link's fault that he had fallen for the night princess, he just...Did.
