Now, let's get down to business!
From the One too many shots tales:
01: The date
By: Dan Heron
The sky took a shade of red as the yellow sun vanished under the horizon. Cold winds swept over the city as more and more lights accompanied the pale tint of the moon. People walked down the lit streets, flew over its buildings, traveled under the ground; the city as alive as ever.
Everybody went on their business –many and varied all of them-, but they couldn't help noticing a certain couple of Hylians.
One of them was girl with flowing, red hair cascading down to the middle of her back and eyes of the purest blue they had ever seen. A red and black dress wrapped her sun-bathed body in its soft and delicate fabric, and Gerudo styled sandals for her delicate feet. The other was a boy, with a mane of unruly, dirty blond hair topping his head. A blue earring adorned his left, long Hylian ear, and clothes with the colors of the forest.
They stopped for a moment in front of a little shop between two buildings, and with a nod of her head, the shopkeeper saw them away as they made their way into Ordo park. The gigantic trees loamed over them as they walked some ways into the clearing section of the park.
They made their way under a tree and the boy put down a basket he had been carrying with him and proceeded to remove items from it. Laying down a blanket over the grass, putting out glasses and dishes, and finally a little tlahui lamp; the table was set.
The girl giggled as he bowed in front of her, and then she set on the task of serving dinner. The red smiled happily when she heard him make a content sound, much like a dog's, at the smell of her food. She couldn't help the warm feeling of pride she felt in her chest when he ate it all with much gusto.
Taking a bite of her own dish she smiled. She had done a remarkable job if she had to admit it herself.
When the couple was done with their meal the boy offered to clean up. She was more than happy to comply.
The young lady sighed contently once her companion sat next to her. She didn't waste time resting her head against his shoulder, basking in the warmth of his body. Almost as if on cue, his arm wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her closer to his frame.
She smiled sweetly, looking up into his purple eyes and then closed her azure orbs. Slowly, his lips approached hers, and with the gentlest brush, gave her a tender kiss.
After a minute, their liplock ended and both stared deeply into each other's eyes.
"So, what's the big deal then?"
He simply shrugged. "Well, I think that's it."
"So…adults make all that fuzz over this?" her wide blue eyes were disbelieving.
"Well, maybe it is different when you're an adult?" he suggested and she pouted.
"Well, I was kinda hoping to find out now," she said, crossing her arms over her chest. "It felt just like any other time I have kissed you."
"The food was good," he said with a lazy, wolfish grin. "Made something special, Mal-kumi?"
The pout on Malon's face was quickly replaced by a huge smile. "Oh, hai, hai, Link-kumi," the little five year old red nodded, "Cuz Dizi brought me some Gerudo mushrooms and I made the sauce with them. Very Sheika style, ya know?"
"Aaah, Zel-kumi once gave me Sheika food, but yours is like much, much, much, much better, Mal," Link replied, lazily rubbing his belly.
"Moka aroti, Fairy Boy," Malon chuckled, looking over the rest of the park as she reassumed her place against Link's shoulder. "Now what? Dates end like this?"
"Dunno," Link said, rummaging in his pockets, "But with this our date can end," he said, pointing up.
"Uh?" Malon's blue eyes blinked in confusion.
" Oh, just wait," Link's wolfish grin was back on his face and Malon smiled back.
"Okay!"
Malon didn't have to wait for long before the sky was suddenly lit by dozens of colors and sounds. The rancher girl immediately sat upright and started to whoop along with the rest of the people in the park.
The two kids lost themselves watching the fireworks show before Link remembered he was looking for something. "Oh, that's why you bought it!" Malon smiled widely as Link tossed a box a few meters away from them.
As the box bounced on the grassy floor, it started to glow and then it opened with a bang. Malon started to jump as flashes of red, green and blue shot out to the sky, ending in huge bursts of color and sound.
"Cool, eh?" Link nudged Malon's side with her elbow and she elbowed him back.
"Very, very!" the little red replied, hugging Link and giving him a kiss. "You know, I think dates are cool after all."

Well, what you think? Liked? Hope you did. Oh, if you have any question about my stories fell free to ask and you'll probably be seeing the answer in one Hyrule's University classes's chapters here in One too many shots tales. Or if you have any silly suggestion for another chibiadventure then tell me about it in your review or a note. My crew in notorious for being a bunch of weirdoes.
