The Great Distraction

"Hey Listen!"

"Navi, what the hell do you want now?! You have told me the same thing for seven times. I don't know how many more times I can listen to you." Link stood still and stared angrily at his tiny little fairy.

Fearless Navi began to speak, "It seems that you must..."

But Link could only interrupt. "If you tell me I have to go to the Temple of Time one more time I may have to just choke you Navi." The little purple fairy turned white and tucked herself back up into Link's little elf hat. He was irritated for he had just completed a series of difficult missions to recover the three stones that could advance him into time, so that he could complete the missions put be forth him. He only had to trudge across this damned Hyrule field one more time before he could have his horse to ride. Sad enough though, his companion, Navi, was getting on his nerves. He wasn't a gamer playing, so he couldn't just hit the 'B' button, he had to actually listen to her incessant ranting. This time he knew that she would stay away, because he was almost at the drawbridge that would lead him into the town market, which was only a few meters from the Temple of Time. Passing up the weird people dancing merrily in the streets, he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be an adult... or at least a semi adult. Just as he was jogging up the steps of the Temple, he heard Navi again.

"Hey Listen!"

"What Navi! I'm here! I'm at the Temple, what do you want now?" He felt he couldn't control his anger.

"Link, you are at the Temple... but you have a side quest. It is a beautiful maiden. She is hiding in the Temple, and needs you to save her."

"What?!" Link was shocked, and then he realized Navi was going to tell him no more. She fluttered back into his hat, and he walked into the Temple. A holy noise filled his ears as he looked around. He saw a little girl, about his age, in the corner crying. Reluctantly, he walked up to her. He still had no interest in girls so he found this ridiculous. "Are you ok?" He asked her. She picked her face up and looked at her with sobbing bright blue eyes.

"All of my friends left me. They don't love me." She looked at Link. "My name is Ikkin. Who are you?"

"I'm Link..."

"Oh the little forest elf who is trying to save the town! How interesting!" She perked up and stood up next to Link. "You're cute." She smiled in his face.

"Uh..." He began to get weirded out. "I'm sorry but I got something to do. Can I talk to you after I do this?"

Her eyes filled up with tears again. "Can I please come with you?"

"Ugh." Link grumbled. "I'm kinda trying to save the world."

"Good I'll help!" Ikkin smiled, and Link began to walk away.

"Just stay out of the way, ok?" Link commanded her.

"Ok ok!" She smiled and stayed right behind him. Link approached the box and put down all three stones, then he was commanded to find the sword to pull. He walked over to the altar, and looked around. He couldn't find Ikkin, or even hear her. He went down to pull the sword out and suddenly Ikkin was over his shoulder. He screamed for her to go away, but the forcefield trapped her in. They were both thrusted into the future. When Link stepped back with his new, bigger sword in his hand, he checked out his fabulous body. He liked being grown up. He looked around for Ikkin but couldn't find her. He walked into the main hall of the Temple and saw a tall, brown haired woman from behind.

"Excuse me have you..." Link started but the woman turned around. It was Ikkin. She certainly had grown up. She was beautiful. Her eyes were covered in a glossy eyeshadow powder, her lips covered in pink lipgloss. She was like the girl he dreamed of marrying his whole life.

"What happened?" Ikkin couldn't help but look Link's chisled body up and down.

"We got pushed into the future, I have to, have to" Link stammered to get his words out, but he was struck with Ikkin's gorgeousness.

"Are you ok, silly?" Ikkin smiled at Link.

"I'm fine, and so are you..." Link looked at Ikkin and just smirked. Ikkin blushed.

"Shhhh Link... you have to go save the world, you don't have time to be stuck in this Temple with little old me. I'll be here when you come back." Ikkin brushed the hair away from Link's eyes.

"I have all the time in the world." Link pulled Ikkin in close and pressed his soft warm lips against hers. She pulled back and squealed.

"Sorry, first kiss." She giggled.

"Mine too." Link laughed and pulled her closer. "You're sooooooo gorgeous." They kept kissing. But Navi interrupted, like always.

"Hey Listen!"

"Navi can't you see I'm busy?!" Link grumbled and looked up as the tiny white fairy flew out of his hat.

"Link, you have to make your way to the stables, for Epona is waiting impatiently for you..." Navi instructed.

"She's a horse..." Link waved Navi back in the hat and he pushed Ikkin slowly to the ground.

She stopped him. "Maybe you should go Link, like I told you, I'll be here waiting for you." She grabbed his face and looked in his eyes.

"But I don't know when I'll be back." A tear filled his eyes as he looked into her gorgeous face.

"Doesn't matter, I'll wait patiently, unlike your horse." They both laughed, and he kissed her softly and passionately.

"I'll be back, beautiful."

"Don't hurry." She smiled as he ran out of the Temple.
