"Link, could you help me with these please?" Kafei called.

"Coming!" Link called back.

A thirteen year old Link came around the corner and took a suitcase from Kafei who was already carrying two. Kafei introduced link to a young woman and man who were staying a week at the Stock Pot Inn. Link and Kafei carried the couple's luggage up the stairs to their rooms and thanked them again for choosing their establishment.

"We've been busier than ever!" Link remarked.

"We sure have been!" Kafei agreed.

FLASHBACK:

After a tearful good bye, Link hopped on his horse Epona in search of a new home. It was raining Buckets and Anju and Kafei watched him leave through the window of the Stock Pot Inn.

"I don't want him to go!" Anju whispered.

Kafei sighed. "It's for the best my dear."

Anju thought for a moment.

"N-no it's not!" The red headed inn keeper flung open the door.

"He's a little boy! He needs a family!" She said as she ran outside into the rain. Kafei grabbed a busted umbrella and followed his wife into the storm. In a matter of seconds, the couple was soaked. This didn't stop them though. Anju could hear the horse galloping in the distance. She ran through the city gates with Kafei not far behind her still trying to make the umbrella open.

Anju spotted Link. She saw his green hat bobbing up and down behind the tall grass and bushes.

"Link! Link!" Anju called desperately

"Slow down!" Kafei yelled to Anju, trying to make his voice heard over the booming thunder. He was at least twenty paces behind his wife.

"Link!" Anju called one last time.

The horse slowed to a stop. Kafei finally got the umbrella to work and made his way over to his partener. But just like that, she took off again to meet Link.

"What are you guys doing here?" Link questioned, extremely confused.

"Link… I, I want you come live with us!" Anju said.

Kafei held the large umbrella over her head.

"But…but why?" Link asked, puzzled.

"Because, YOU are the reason we are here right now and you deserve a family." Anju said her voice cracking on the word "family."

Kafei had one hand around Anju's waist and the other was holding the broken umbrella. Both their eyes gazed up at him.

"What do you say Link?" Kafei asked. "Will you join us?"

Link smirked. His smirk turned into a smile and his smile into a laugh.

He jumped off his horse into the arms of the happy couple.

"I thought you'd never ask." He whispered.

END OF FLASHBACK.

"Guys! Come take a lunch break!" Anju said happily. She had prepared lettuce and tomato sandwiches for lunch and to drink they had fresh bottles of milk from Romani ranch. Kafei and Link made their way into the dining room and sat down. They ate their sandwiches and chatted amongst themselves.

"I'm so happy that we took over the Inn, Kafei." Anju said. And I'm so glad that my mother and grandmother could retire to that cottage in the southern swamp."

"I'm glad too. Your mother worked much too hard." Kafei said between mouthfuls.

Link watched happily as his friends conversed. He was just glad that for the first time in forever he had a family.
