Prologue 

Saionji: Once upon a time...
Touga: There was this lovely Mary Sue...
Schala: Knock it off you guys.
Saionji and Touga: Sorry.

Dreams come in many forms. 

Touga: But if your Lucid Dreaming, it comes to you in the form of a hunky pixelated videogame character.

Some good, some bad, some very realistic, even ones that feels very real. A dream may come to us from happy events, or even stem from bad events in our lives. Some come to us as a pleasure dream and some come as nightmares. Some become vague memories after time, while some stay very rich in our minds. This is a story about a dream that I had. A dream that became more dreams. 

Schala: And, then it became a very crappy fanfic.

A dream that would end one night then resumes the next. It became like a second life. 

Touga: ... 
Saionji: This is someone who desperately needs a social life.

Ever since I became a Zelda fan, I grew an interest in Link. I thought of him as the perfect man.

Saionji: Tall?
Schala: Check.
Saionji: Dark?
Touga: No, a little bit on the pale side.
Saionji: Handsome?
Schala: On a scale of 1 to 10, he ranks at at least a 7.
Saionji: Perfect man?
Schala: He's pixelated, so for me, sure. For her? No. Definitely not.

One that you could not find of this world. I thought of him as a man that should have been. The more that he attracted my attention the more I became more attracted to him. I felt like there was a connection between him and me. Then he became a part of me, and after that I fell deeply in love with him. 

All: ... 
Schala: This is too easy. 

I know that may sound queer to you but love is a mysterious thing and should not be taken lightly. Love is a very strong emotion, an emotion that should be treasured. Love comes from the heart, but when it takes hold, it's got you. I quite don't understand it myself, but I do know that when I first laid my eyes upon Link I fell in love with him. My heart just told me it was right. Told me he was the one, the one I had been searching for. Ever since then I have felt that it was destiny that has brought me to him. 

Touga: He's a character in a videogame! Do you have no sense of reality?
Saionji: Can I bitchslap her?
Schala: Please do. Someone needs to ground her feet back into the real world.

Even in my mind it feels the same. I don't consider myself any different from anyone else. 

Touga: No, see, everyone else at least has some modicum of sanity. You, my dear, seriously need to get laid. 
Saionji: By you?
Touga: Hell no, she's had pixelated hands on her already.

Though I have love for someone that is not really there, he will always remain very real to me inside my heart and in my mind. Even to this day I still love him. He has kept me very happy. He has made me happy when I was sad. He has made me feel stronger about myself. He has even taken care of me in ways that no one else can. 

Touga: He munched the carpet, didn't he.
Schala: Ew! *whack* Don't talk about that.
Saionji: What are you going to do later when we get to the sex scene...?

Even though I have feelings for him, I'm not any different from the rest of you. I will always hold him close to me in my heart. He is still on my mind and I still have dreams. The connection stills remains strong, and the dreams very real. 

Saionji: I feel sorry for you. For now. Later on I'll likely be cursing you.

I lived an entire life with Link in Hyrule. All stemming from a series of dreams. Dreams that I want to have. Dreams that I make happen. From the first day I met him, to the birth of our first child, to even the days when Link and I prepared our family in the event that Gannon should return. This book is based on my inner life. A second life lived in a far away land in another time line in another dimension. A tale of love, passion, despair and hope. I enjoyed my inner life. I looked forward to going to sleep to it every night. And I look forward to ones that will come, because LOVE WILL NEVER DIE. 

Schala: No, but if you don't lay off with the shouting your caps lock will.
