The Missing Tracks
The Royal Letter and Tetra
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
A Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks story! After weeks of playing the game, I'm finally making the story! Link and Zelda must discover something hidden in New Hyrule. What is it? We'll see!
I made a story about how Tetra found New Hyrule. So it's a fan based story, and not an original Nintendo story.
I also named the Teacher in this story. His name is Steve.
Stella: Steve? STEVE THE TROOPER?
Seth: No. Oh. If you don't know who Steve is, watch Chuggaaconroy'sPikmin LP, and watch TheRunawayGuys's SSBB (Super Smash Brothers Brawl) Let's Play.
Disclaimer: Seth does not own LoZ. It belongs to its owner!
Stella and Seth: We'll be in the story too!

"So that's how Malladus was defeated!" said Niko. Of course, our hero Link was asleep. He has heard too much. He knows how Malladus was defeated. He himself, along with the beautiful Zelda defeated him together.
"LINK! WAKE UP!" shouted Niko. Link was so surprised he bumped his head onto a table. How he got from the floor to the table, I don't know.
"Ow! What was that for Niko!" yawned Link. Niko was so agitated, but he calmed down.
"Sigh. Do you really hate the stories?" asked Niko, "like your ancestor, he slept while I was telling him the story".
Link felt sorry for Niko. He didn't hate his stories. It's just he experienced the fight. He saw the death of Byrne with Zelda. He and Zelda also saw the departure of the Lokomos.
"I'm sorry Niko. It's not like I hate it, but Zelda and I knew what happened. And we saw everything" explained Link.
Niko nodded his head, and smiled. He can't get angry at the 'Legendary Engineer' and the 'Legendary Hero'. Well, he's a legend. And Niko used to be a pirate, under Zelda's ancestor, Tetra, who also found this land and named it New Hyrule.
"Do you want to know the story about how Zelda's grandmother found this place?" smiled Niko. Link tilted his head. "Grandmother… as in Tetra?"
Niko laughed. "Yes, yes! Send a letter to Zelda! She might want to know this too! Hurry, hurry!"
Link smiled and quickly wrote the mail.
Dear Zelda,
I would like to invite you to my place tomorrow, if you have the time. My old pal Niko wants to tell you a story. The story might entertain you from work! I'll pick you up around ten in the morning. See you tomorrow!
~Link~
Link looked at the letter. He felt happy. He placed the letter in an envelope, and sealed it with the Hyrule seal, that looks like the Triforce and the symbol of the 'Spirit of Good'.He ran outside. He looked at the post box, and placed the mail inside. And in a nick of time, the postman came up to the mail box.
"Good morning Link!" said the postman.
"Hello. There's a letter in there" said Link.
The postman reached in, and felt there's only one letter in Aboda Village, so he could send the letter last. But he was wrong. He saw the seal of the two Hyrules. He knew that this must be very important.
"I'll send this letter right away! It's funny that old Hyrules crest is the Triforce and New Hyrule is the Spirit of Good. It's nice that they mixed the two together!" said the postman.
Link nodded. The postman ran towards Castle Town.
You gotta wonder. How could he get to his destinations so quickly. Meh, who knows…
Link went inside the house and saw Niko preparing for lunch.
"Niko, is ten in the morning okay with you?" asked Link.
"Yes, yes! I could spare my time for the both of you" winked Niko.
Link sighed in relief.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Zelda's teacher went outside to buy some vegetables and aCucoo. Well, the cucoo is for his famous Chic-… Cucoo noodle soup. Zelda loves it! How teacher cooks it was to die for!
While he was outside, he checked the Royal Post Box. Yes, they have to boxes there. One for normal uses, and one for the Royal family and staff of Hyrule. Either they have to put the Hyrule seal or write down 'Hyrule Castle' in the address in order for the mail to be placed in the Royal Post Box.
He looked inside, and saw a letter. The letter was for Princess Zelda. He placed the letter inside his basket, and went shopping.
He went to the shops of the town, and bought the ingredients. Then, he walked to the Cucoo farm and bought one Cucoo.
"That will be ten rupees sir" said the Cucoo farmer. The teacher paid him, and walked back to the Castle.
Inside the castle, he went to the kitchen and placed his basket on the table, but he took the letter.
"I'll be cooking. You all know what I'll be making for the Princess' lunch, right?"
The cooks and maids nodded. "You'll be making Cucoo noodle soup".
"Good. Now, on with your chores. Remember, I'll be cooking. Don't cook it like last week. She cried because it was too spicy and too unoriginal".
They nodded, and cooked for dinner.
Zelda was working, as always. Writing reports about something, answering the questions about how the tracks disappeared, and where she went. It was another normal busy day for her. She looked at her picture with Link in the Spirit Train. It has been two weeks since the defeat of Malladus. She sighed.
"Zelda! There's a letter for you!" said Teacher.
Zelda looked up and sighed. "Is it another useless letter I need to write the reply about?" asked Zelda unhappily.
Teacher smiled. "I don't think so. It's a letter from your boyfriend".
Zelda shot up and looked at teacher. "LINK?"
Teacher nodded. "I'll go make that soup for you. You read that letter, and tell me everything about it, ok?"
Zelda nodded, and opened the letter.
"Dear Zelda,
I would like to invite you to my place tomorrow, if you have the time. My old pal Niko wants to tell you a story. The story might entertain you from work! I'll pick you up around ten in the morning. See you tomorrow!
~Link~"
Zelda screamed so loud that the guards from outside the castle could hear her. Teacher heard her also.
He smiled.
The guards ran towards her room, and slammed the door open. "ARE YOU OKAY PRINCESS?" shouted the guards. Zelda nodded, covering her face from the guards. They didn't want them to know that she's crying.
"Are you sure?" asked a guard.
"(sniff) Y-yes. I'm fine. You can go on with your usual things you do" stuttered Princess Zelda.
The guards looked at her again, and went on with their work.
"Sir, is the Princess ok?" asked one of the maids.
The teacher smiled. "Yes, she's fine. She just got a bit… shocked, that's all."
They all nodded. They thought Zelda was hurt. "Is the Cucoo ready to be cooked?" asked Teacher.
The maids brought the chopped cucoo and gave it to Teacher. He then plopped the cucoo into the pot.
"I wonder what she's doing now?" asked Teacher to himself. "I'll check on her!" said Maria, one of her Maids.
"Fine. Go see if she's okay. But remember, the guards just ran to her quarters. And good thing she's not in her bedroom. If she's changing, she might kill them or shout Link's name" said Teacher sternly.
"Wow. Does she have her cup of tea there?" asked Maria.
Teacher shook his head. That was a sign that she doesn't. She picked up a tray, placed the already warm tea pot there, an empty tea cup, a teaspoon, a cup of sugar cubes, and a glass of water. She picked up the tray, and walked to Zelda's quarters.
meanwhile
"What to wear, what to wear…" though Zelda to herself. Whilst thinking, there was a knocking on the door.
"Princess! I brought you some tea!" said Maria. Zelda opened the door and saw Maria standing in front of her. Maria walked inside, and placed the tray on Zelda's table.
"Thank you Maria" thanked Zelda. Maria smiled. "Princess, why did you uhh…scream?" asked Maria.
Zelda blushed. "W-well, I got a letter from someone".
Maria smiled devilishly. "From your boyfriend, huh?"
Zelda blushed again. Her face was getting redder. "Thought so! So, when?" asked Maria.
"I'm going to write the reply soon, once Teacher is here" said Zelda shyly. Maria smiled and went outside.
Once she stepped outside, Teacher came up to her. Maria smiled and walked away.
Teacher went inside and saw Zelda tidying up her table. Her un-replied messages were on the right side of the table, while the replied ones were on the left. There was a piece of paper on the very top of the table, and her quill and ink bottle beside it. The tea tray was on the little table beside her.
"Zelda, what did the letter say?" asked Teacher while placing the Cucoo Noodle Soup on her table.
"Well, Link wants to pick me up tomorrow morning around ten. He wants to bring me to Aboda. Niko wants to tell me a story about Tetra" explained Zelda.
Teacher nodded. He then thought about it.
"Sooooooooo can I go?" asked Zelda.
"Of course" smiled Teacher, "but don't get into trouble, ok?"
Zelda squealed in delight and wrote the reply.
Dear Link,
I would be happy to come to Aboda. I'll use my best outfit yet! You'll see me waiting in Hyrule Station with my maid and a golden handbag. Don't be late. I'll be waiting!
~Zelda~
Once she's done, she placed the Hyrule seal and wrote the address. She sent a maid to put the letter in the post box. She then sat down and ate the noodle soup happily.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Niko, what's for lunch?" asked Alfonzo. "It's fried fish and rice" said Niko. "OOH! My favorite!" said Alfonzo, and started eating it happily.
Niko looked at Link. Link tilted his head. Why is Niko looking at him?
"Well, are you going to tell Alfonzo about tomorrow and where you're going?" whispered Niko.
Link sighed. It's been two weeks since he left the train in the Dark Realm, but it magically appeared near where they were, and it has been a week since he rode the train.
"I'm going tomorrow" said Link.
Alfonzo swallowed his rice. "Where to?"
"I'm going to Hyrule Castle. I'm picking up Princess Zelda" said Link. He's a bit too embarrassed about it.
Alfonzo smiled at him. "C'mon! There's no shame in it! I'm guessing that there's a letter in that mail box right this second!"
And he was right. There is a letter there. But no one has even touched the post box yet.
Link finished his meal, and ran towards the post box.
"Hello Link! There's a letter from Zelda! Are you dating her? Are you actually dating the Princess of Hyrule?" asked the post man.
Link nodded. He took the letter, thanked him, and walked towards the beach.
He opened the letter and read the note.
"Dear Link,
I would be happy to come to Aboda. I'll use my best outfit yet! You'll see me waiting in Hyrule Station with my maid and a golden handbag. Don't be late. I'll be waiting!
~Zelda~"
Link screamed in delight. Everybody in the village could hear him shout. "False alarm guys! He he…"
The other villagers sighed and went back to work. Niko and Alfonzo knew that Link is very happy.
"NIKO! Where did you put the detergent?" asked Link. "Right over there, next to your normal shield, Link" replied Niko.
Link took it and went outside to wash his clothes. He took them off, and wore his normal clothes before he even started driving the train. Wait. He wore the normal clothes outside? So he took off his pants outside also? Meh. No one cares anyways.
He placed his recruit uniform and engineer uniform in a bucket, and started washing it.
"I'll polish the Spirit Train for you!" said Alfonzo. Link shook his head. "No. I'll do it. I don't want you guys to do the chores for me" replied Link.
"Well, it's the best I could do. I don't want you to get sick or too tired. We don't want you to miss out on tomorrow, right Niko?" "Right!" answered Niko. "I'll clean the house. In the meantime, once you're done with cleaning it, dry it under the sun's heat and use the Whirlwind to make it dry faster. Once you're done, bring it inside so that I could iron your clothes. What do you want to wear?" asked Niko.
Link told him that he'll be using the engineer uniform. "Ok then. Wear it after breakfast. We'll have it a bit early, around seven. So once you're done, you can go straight to the castle" said Niko.
Link nodded, and continued washing his clothes. Alfonzo polished the train like there was no tomorrow. Niko cleaned the house until it was spotless.
After hours of work, Alfonzo placed the Spirit Train inside the train shed. Niko's done with the mopping, but he needed to dry it.
Out of breath, Link finally made the clothes dry under the sun. "Are you using that thing?" asked Niko. "N-no. You can use i-it. Ugh. I'm out of breath. Too…much…blowing…" wheezed Link.
Niko took that thing from Link, and blew with all his might. Finally, the floor was dry in no time. Alfonzo took a bath inside the shed, so he's clean. Why should I put that in? Meh. Who knows…
Niko gave the Whirlwind back to Link. Link went inside and took a bath.
Whilst doing that, Niko took the clothes and started ironing it. He was having so much fun. Alfonzo was talking with the villagers, Link taking a bath, and once he's done, he put on his clothes, ran up to the bed and collapsed. He was so tired. The birds singing, and the Cucoo's are clucking? Niko finished up his work, and it was five in the afternoon already. He folded the clothes, and got ready for dinner.
"Hmm….Pasta sounds nice. Okay then. Pasta it is!" agreed Niko to himself.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Teacher! Have you seen Beedle's Air Shop?" asked Zelda. "Sigh. No dear, he's not here. I told you, he's like a stalker. If you're riding a train, and you blow your whistle, he'll come to you. And do we have a train?" said Teacher.
Zelda looked down. "I-I want to find Beedle so I can buy some ancient gold. I don't know where he got it, but a fair nine-hundred rupee is nice".
Teacher looked at her oddly. Oddly?O-ok. "Where did you get that Silver Card?" asked Teacher. "I got it from Beedle. Me and Link were traveling, and I have a membership card. I bought some bombs so the guards could train with them. Once I paid him, he gave me some kind of coupon so I can buy anything from there for free. And a few days ago, I go mail from Beedle, with the Silver Card in it" explained Zelda.
Teacher looked at him again. "The ancient gold…with the Triforce on it?" asked Teacher. Zelda nodded.
"Zelda. That was an old coin. They somehow still use it, but in another place. If you buy it, it means you're buying a very important gold. Expensive, , , no. It's common in somewhere else but here. It'll be useless if they use it somewhere else but they make it here. They used the coin in ancient times. But not now. It's rare now, but not anywhere else. So you're buying money with money".
Zelda looked at her brown leather wallet. One thousand rupees. And with a ten percent discount, it's a good bargain. Bargain. Is it a bargain?
"To call Beedle, we need a train," said Zelda. Teacher nodded. "But we do have a train".
Teacher gasped. "THAT TRAIN? It's old. That train can't move, let alone you can't even drive a train. How are you supposed to call Beedle with that old Cucoo coop?"
"Look out the window Teacher," said Zelda. Teacher looked out. He saw a hot air balloon. "That's Beedle. We'll use the trains whistle to call him here".
Teacher thought about it. And he went downstairs. Princess Zelda followed him. Teacher went to the forest. Zelda can't find him, so she went to Hyrule Station. A train whistle was heard. Beedle could hear it too. But he can't find it. "HEY!" shouted Zelda. But he didn't hear her. "HEY! LOOK! LISTEN! Hellow?" Zelda shouted again, but to no avail.
Finally, Beedle saw a white smoke. Well, more like smoke and steam. Beedle followed that smoke steam thing. Zelda saw him approaching Hyrule Station. "HEY!" shouted Zelda again. This time, he heard Zelda. He floated down, right next to Zelda. Zelda, feeling happy with herself, went inside. Teacher went to the station, and waited for the lovely Princess Zelda.
"Hello Princess! What would you like today?" asked Beedle.
"HELLO PRINCESS!" greeted the little boy.
Zelda smiled at him. "I would like that Ancient Gold Beedle!" said Zelda.
"Would you like to use the coupon I gave you?" asked Beedle again. Zelda shook her head. "No Beedle," answered Zelda, "I would like to save that coupon for something else. Did Link use it?"
"Nope! He said he's saving it for something special" grinnedBeedle. Hmm…
His grin. "You're lying. You gave him another coupon, huh?"
Beedle's smile went away. "No! Well, yes, but he said he needed two. So he paid me five-hundred rupees for it".
You can buy coupons?Asked Zelda to herself.Heh. Who knew…
"That'll be nine-hundred rupees Princess" said Beedle.
Zelda paid it, thanked him, and went outside. Beedle put the fire more intense, and his shop is up in the sky in no time.
"So, did you get it?" said Teacher. Zelda showed him the gold, and they went inside.
"It's getting late dear. You better eat dinner and go to bed" said Teacher. "But I just ate," groaned Zelda, "you gave a bigger portion of the soup, and now I'm too full!"
"Fine," said Teacher, "you can go and get ready for tomorrow. And change your clothes would ya?"
Zelda looked at him, confused. "What's wrong with my clothes?"
Teacher's face looks angry. And Zelda doesn't like that. "You're wearing a tank top! And to top that off, you're wearing nothing but your underwear! Wear your night gown! A Princess like you should be more civilized, not like this! You're a descended from a Royal Family, not some dimwitted person!"
Zelda blushed. She was embarrassed by her Teacher's word. But no! She's not a rebel. She just wanted to wear like this. "Teacher, what's your name?" asked Zelda.
Teacher was surprised. "You know my name. My name is Steve".
"Mr. Steve. Heh. I used to call you that. Anyways, you used to let me go to sleep like this. Why not now?"
Teacher patted her back. "Zelda. You're getting older. When you grow older, you have the right to do whatever you want, not whatever everybody wants. If you want to wear like this, it's fine. It's just that I don't want a scandal or the Princess is doing something dirty. I don't want that on the news…"
Zelda smiled, and hugged Teacher. "Don't worry. Nothing like that will happen. I promise".
She let go, and went to pack for tomorrow. Teacher smiled and went to do his thing, reading the newspaper before bed.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Around the same time, Link was packing for tomorrow. While Zelda was packing, Link was searching for something. He was looking for Beedle. "Ugh. Where is he?"
Link went outside, and lit the fire place of the train on fire. The sounds of a train chugging out from a station could be heard. Alfonzo looked outside. "Oh?" exclaimed Alfonzo, "the Spirit Train is going out? Hope it's not getting dirty. I just cleaned that!"
Link kept going. He was on the first crossing. He then saw a hot-air balloon. He blew his whistle, and Beedle's Air Shop dropped from the sky slowly. Link got off his train, and went inside.
"Hey Link! What do you want to buy?" asked Beedle.
Link took the coupon from his pocket, and told Beedle he would like to take the locket. It's no ordinary Locket. Link ordered that Locket to fit ones half heart. A half heart's front has the letter 'L' and the back has the letter 'Z', which belongs to Zelda. While the other half had its opposite. The opposite one belongs to Link.
"Wise choice to buy that with the coupon" said Beedle.
"Thank you Beedle. Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be at home asleep?" questioned Link. "Well, I was supposed to, but you came along. I was surprised you're buying the locket now. I thought you're buying that tomorrow" answered Beedle.
Link was amazed. Don't know why he was amazed, but yeah. Amazed to hear that Beedle was about to go thanked Beedle, and went onto his train. Beedle rose from the ground and silently went home.
Looking backwards, Link oh so carefully drove the Spirit Train backwards. He stopped the train just in time. He parked the train in the train shed.
"Where did you go?" asked Alfonzo crossly.
"Well, I went to the first crossing. I saw Beedle, and bought something" said Link.
Alfonzo was very cross. "The train could get dirty! Or dent! Or even destroyed by an enemy! You should think!"
"Well, for your information, I drove the train slowly and carefully, so nothing could hear me, or the train. I blew my whistle. Yes. It was a risk doing it at night. But if there were enemies, I'm ready with my weapons. I'm not a legendary swordsman like you. But I'm a legendary engineer AND a legendary warrior!" said Link.
Niko could hear the constant bickering from the house. Wait. Where does Alfonzo sleep? Oh right. In the shed. Anyways, Niko walked to the shed. It was ten at night. He opened the door, and saw the two 'talking'.
"Why are you two fighting? And Link! Go to bed! You have a big day tomorrow!" ordered Niko.
"Why I left was because I ordered a necklace that could only be distributed by Beedle. And it's for my girlfriend" whispered Link, and went to the house. Alfonzo felt sorry for getting angry at Link.
"Now, why were you fighting?" asked Niko.
Alfonzo felt ashamed. "Well, I thought he's going to do something. He told me he was going to find Beedle. I was worried that if the train was scratched, it won't be a good impression to the Princess and to Steve".
"Alfonzo. Don't get too worried. We all know Link. He's fearless, well, almost fearless. He defeated the Demon King. He rescued Zelda's body, and witnessed the Demon Train getting destroyed. If there were enemies, he could defeat them easily. He has experience. You and I, also had some. You were a Legendary Swordsman back in you days, before you became an engineer. It was when Zelda and Link were five years old. I was a pirate, one-hundred years ago. Your ancestor, Gonzo, was also a pirate, and a very skilled one at that. So don't get too worried!"
"Maybe you're right Niko. Thank you. I'll apologize right now".
"Don't", said Niko, "it's a bit too late for him. He needs the energy tomorrow. He wants to show Zelda something. For now, we should rest".
Niko went outside, and Alfonzo turned off the lights, and went straight to bed.
Link in the other hand was wearing his locket. The other half was in his waist bag thing that he had during his adventuring days. Well, he's still adventuring, but for now, he's taking a break.
"Hmm, that should be it. My gear is here, and my sword and shield is there. I'll still wear it, but I'll use my engineers clothes tomorrow. If something wrong is happening, I have an extra pair of the recruit uniform in the train. It's the same thing. Same colour, same size. So I don't need to run home and change. Since I have two pairs of my uniforms, I don't need to worry! I'm ready!" said Link.
Niko went inside. He sidled the door, and looked at Link. He's still awake. "Hmm?Still awake?"
"Oh! I was getting ready. Final preparations, hehheh".
Niko smiled, and went to bed. Link did the same. But he turned off the lights. He walked, but he fell down. He tripped on a table, and then his old shield. "OW! SON OF A-"
"Are you hurt?" asked Niko.
"What do you think? He he. I'll be okay. Ow…".
He crawled onto his bed, and went to sleep.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
"Wake up!" screamed Teacher. Zelda woke up oh so silently. She looked at the clock. It was seven in the morning. She felt grumpy. It's early in the morning. She felt groggy.
"Good morning. Where's my breakfast?" yawned Zelda. Maria was already placing the toast and tea on the little table. "Here it is Princess. Oh?" Maria looked Zelda. She saw that the Princess was not wearing her night gown. "Umm…here's your breakfast. I-I'll see you by the station around half-past nine".
Zelda was oh so confused. Why was Maria stuttering? And why is she blushing?
I must not tell anyone. I'll talk to her privately later in the station, thought Maria to herself as she walked out of Zelda's premises. She went to the maid's quarters and started eating her cereal.
"Teacher, why is she blushing?" asked Zelda. "Oh ho hoho! She wasn't used to seeing you not wearing your night gown" laughed Teacher. "Besides, you better hurry. You have a big day today. And you haven't told me what the Ancient Gold is for dear".
Zelda looked at her table. There sitting beside her ink bottle and quill, lies the Ancient Gold. "That? I wanted to give it to Alfonzo. I already have something for Niko, which is the pirate necklace. He would be happy to keep that. He used to be a pirate, you know. And I have something for Link also. It's that thing besides the window".
Teacher walked to it, and grabbed it. He observed it and placed it onto her work desk. "What it that thing?" asked Teacher.
Zelda smiled. "It's a friendship bracelet. Well, since we're not just friends, I was hoping he would like to wear that".
Teacher smiled back and patted her on her shoulder. "Well, you best be eating now".
Zelda nodded and sat down. Eating in the castle was boring. All she could do was eat and stare at the sky, or the Tower of Spirits. Looking at the tower, she reminded herself about the events after the defeat of Malladus. The Lokomo chair things are in their respective Sanctuaries. But she kept Anjean's in her room. She remembered the death of Byrne.
After about thirty minutes of eating, she went inside her room, took off her clothes and went inside the bathroom. "Ahh. Very detailed Seth" mumbled Stella out of nowhere. "What? At least there are good details!" said Seth in return.
She turned on the water tap. It was hot and cold at the same time, but more hot, so it will be warm. She then crept into the bath tub. Filled with suds, she was taking a bath.
"Hmm. I wonder what Link is doing? Probably polishing his train or he's already on the way. If he's on the way, he'll be too early. I'll just take my time, and I'll wait".
She took her body brush, and OH FORGET IT. I think it'll be too detailed. Well, unless you perverted Zelda fans wanted this, but nope! I'll skip that part.
She's been in her bathroom for about another thirty minutes. So now, it's around eight in the morning. She went to her bedroom, and started to wear her clothes.
Meanwhile, in the maids' quarters, Maria was happily changing her clothes. She took a bath already. Her friends and the chefs told her that she smelled nice. She blushed. She smelled like strawberries. "Ahh! It's around eight now! I'm going to check on the Princess. I wonder what she's doing…"
Maria, in her maids' clothes, ran upstairs to see what she's doing. She was expecting that Zelda was packing her things. But she did that last night. So again, she thinks that Zelda was looking out her window. But she was wrong.
She went inside her office without knocking. Nobody was there. So she went into her bedroom. She caught Zelda changing her clothes. "Oh. Hi Maria!" greeted Zelda.
Maria was surprised. She knew that Zelda was slim, but she didn't know Zelda was slender. Wait. It's the same thing, right? "Maria! Could you get that mini skirt there? Thanks!"
Maria grabbed the skirt and gave it to Zelda. She wore the skirt and finally, she needed her t-shirt. "Oh? Where is it?" said Zelda.
Maria was confused. "What t-shirt?"
"It's the one with the leaf on it, and it had stars surrounding it. The colour is white. The stars are yellow and the leaf is green" said Zelda in full detail.
"It's over there Princess, near your mirror" pointed Maria.
Zelda ran over, and put on her t-shirt. It's small and tiny. "Oh? That's the t-shirt you used to use when Alfonzo still worked here. But now it's too small for you. It won't even reach your hip" said Maria.
"I know" said Zelda, "what time is it?"
"It's eight fifteen Princess" answered Maria, "I'll brush your hair to pass the time!"
Zelda felt happy. It's rare to spend time with her. She always played with Maria when they were young. But since Zelda has grown older, she has to work. And Maria can only help her and serve her with foods, drinks, and laundry.
"Hey Zelda?" asked Maria.
"Hmm?"
"Did Link ever get you angry?"
Zelda laughed. She remembered when Link said no in the dark part of the Tower of Spirits. "Yes. When we were in the Tower of Spirits. He refused to go in there. But we had no choice".
"Ahh. Zelda, how did you become a ghost? I remember telling me you're a ghost and you've been with Link the whole time, but how?" asked Maria.
"Sigh. Well, the tracks are disappearing. And I wanted to investigate with Link and Alfonzo. So we rode Alfonzo's train. Before even reaching the Tower, the tracks disappeared. And Chancellor Cole was a demon the whole time. He killed me. Byrne, was a good man. But he wanted power, and apposed the Spirits. So he turned evil, but turned good in the end. Anyways, he knocked out Link and Alfonzo. After that, he took my body, and the demon king Malladus, used my body."
Maria was surprised. The Dark Realm was gone, Byrne and the Lokomos were gone, Cole and Malladus dead, but Malladus using Zelda's body? That's wrong!
"EWW! That's disgusting! Why would a demon KING wanted to use your body? A GIRLS BODY?" squealed Maria.
"Turns out my body had the power of something. It has the power of the spirits I think. So with my body, he could control the world and destroy it".
Maria was astonished. Malladus using Zelda's body, Cole killing her, thank goodness both of them were dead.
"Well, it's nine already. I'll wait by the station. In the meantime, you get ready. You'll be there around half-past nine, right?" asked Maria.
"Don't worry. I'll be there" answered Zelda.
Maria walked outside of the castle, and waited in the station.

Link was still asleep. Well, we all know that he loves to sleep in. In fact, his part of the paragraph was set early in the morning. But, he woke up extremely early. Well, a bit TOO early.
"Wha? What time is it?" asked himself. He looked at the clock, and it was six in the morning. Well, that's early for a meeting that was supposed to commence almost midday.
He was extremely surprised. Why is he awake? The bad part is that he could not go back to sleep. Oh poor Link. He really loved his oh so precious sleep.
"Ugh. It's dawn, huh. Anyways, I should eat breakfast. But what to eat?" he said to himself. He walked outside, and saw that Cucoo lover behind his house, waiting for the Cucoos to cluck.
"Umm, sir?" asked Link. "Yes?" he said. Link really didn't want to get close to the Cucoo. They have evil inside of them, and they'll kill you. "May I have some-". But he was cut by the sound of a C-"COCKADOODLE DOO!" crowed the Cucoo.
"HEY!" exclaimed Seth and Link, "we're trying to speak here!"
Anyways, they WERE cut because of the STUPID CUCOO!
"Ugh. May I have some of your eggs?" asked Link.
The guy laughed. "Oh yes. Yes you may. May I ask why? Are you out of eggs?" "No, actually,
answered Link, "in fact, I have heard that eggs that are fresh from a Cucoo are very rich in energy, and the most delicious delicacy when cooked".
The guy person agreed. "Sure! Take' em! Take as much you need!"
Link smiled, and took two eggs that are still fresh. He went inside his house, and started cooking early. He made himself an omelette and ate it. Want to know the ingredients guys? Well, eggs (PFFT HAHAHA! DUH!),cut up tomatoes and celery leaves and grated cheese. "Oh. Zelda would love this for breakfast. But I guess she have eaten already. Well, I think she's still asleep, but she'll have breakfast once she woke up. PAH! I'll just make her some later." Link thought to himself.
Before taking his first bite, he just remembered he needed salt and pepper. Well, no omelette is complete without salt and pepper. He took the two condiments, and shook them. Fine salt and black pepper fell onto the omelette. Ooh! I feel so hungry! Do you feel hungry readers?
He ate the thing happily. Once the sun rose a bit higher, Niko woke up. He looked at his surrounding, expecting Link still asleep. But as he looked at the dining table, he found Link eating. "Link?"
Link choked in surprise. He didn't expect Niko to be awa-right. Link rarely wakes up early.
"N-Niko?Uhh d-don't worry! I made you some too! It's across the table! Eat, eat!" stuttered Link. He's still in shock.
Niko was also surprised. "Link, since when did you ever start waking up early? Are you that excited?"
Link blushed. He was excited, but he didn't forget about Niko's breakfast. "Well, I am excited, but it won't happen until later today. Anyways, eat, eat!" insisted Link.
Niko smiled, tidied up his and Link's bed, sat on the chair, and ate.
"So, when are you meeting her?" asked Niko. "I'll be picking her up at ten in the morning. It's not late, and it's not early" Link said in slight detail. Not too detailed, but detailed enough to make other people understand.
"Ahh. You do know that she's still asleep, right?" said NIko. Link blushed. He does know that she's still asleep. It's around six forty-five anyways. But little did they know, she will be awake around seven.
"When you're done with breakfast, take a bath, and get ready. There will be less enemies now, but you still need to be careful with other steam engine tram train things. They are like Dark and Armored Trains, only not deadly" warned Niko.
Link nodded, and smiled. He finished up his breakfast, and walked to the bathroom. Niko continued eating. While doing that, Alfonzo walked inside the house. He look around, and he couldn't see Link. "Hmm? He's not in bed?" Alfonzo thought to himself. "Well, he's in the bathroom. He'll be out shortly. Look. He made you breakfast. Looks like two eggs are enough for the three of us" Niko said while eating his last piece of omelette.
Alfonzo smiled. He sat, placed spicy sauce on the omelette, and ate. The two could hear the water dripping from the shower. But it stopped. Hmm…
"GAH! SO COLD!" shouted Link. Alfonzo and Niko laughed. The shower was turned on again, and Link took a bath normally. "That was funny~" chuckled Alfonzo. "Yes, yes it was. Anyways, how did you sleep?" asked Niko.
Alfonzo frowned. "I couldn't. The fight was still inside my head. I slept around five thirty. But I woke up once the blasted cucoo crowed. I don't want the fight to happen again".
Niko sat up, and patted Alfonzo on the back. "Don't worry. It'll all be okay. He was angry, but he made up by himself. Look! He made you an omelette. He cared. Don't worry. I know he'll be okay, and I know you'll be okay as well. Now, go and open the shed doors. He'll be out around eight".
Alfonzo finished eating, and went outside. He opened the door to the shed. He looked at the railway tracks. They seem to gleam more brighter than ever. He looked at the Tower of Spirits, and it was beautiful.
"The tower. It's full of life now. It's not that distorted anymore. But… the . He attacked me weeks ago, but he turned good. I miss them, I miss them all. They do mean something. Link told me he wanted to control both his jobs, and he did a great job. He's taking a break, and he'll resume once he's ready. He delivers and fights. He is the engineer for all, and for the Princess. I hope nothing will go wrong. Anjean, please protect Link and Zelda," he said to himself.
He's been looking at the tracks and the tower for a long time.
Link just got out from the house. His gear ready. His Lokomo Sword, Shiled of Antiquity, and other gear are in his adventure pack. He waved goodbye to Niko, and started walking to the shed.
Alfonzo looked at Link. Alfonzo walked into the shed, and started the Spirit Train's engine with coal and water. Though they seem to never run out of fuel. It's like the fuel is unlimited.
The train crept forward a little bit, stopping in front of the station. Alfonzo got out of the train, and he stayed on the station.
Link got up. But before he could blow his whistle, Alfonzo patted the Spirit Train. "Link?" said Alfonzo.
Link tilted his head. He was utterly confused. "I'm sorry about last night. I didn't mean to burst just like that. I'm sorry" said Alfonzo.
Link smiled. "It's okay Alfonzo. No harm done. I'll see you later Alfonzo".
Link pulled the whistle line thing, and the train made a loud noise. Moved the throttle, and the train started moving. "Take care!" shouted Alfonzo. Link waved. Niko went to the station and saw Link moving out of the station.
"He'll be okay. Don't worry!" comforted Niko. All Alfonzo could do is wait. They looked the the Spirit Train. It's starting to go away farther and farther. They could hear the train's whistle.
As the day got more exciting, Link could see the birds chirping and flying above him. He looked at the sky. It was beautiful. A good day for taking the Princess to his special hideout. He passed Whittleton. He blew his whistle, and it got people's attention.
They could see Link driving the train, and they saw the train.
Oh how they loved it. It was gleaming. The sun's rays hit the train, and the train was literally shining. Even the symbol in the front was catching their attention.
He past them, and he could see another vehicle. It was up in the air. He chuckled to himself. Beedle was up in the sky, flying in the nice warm breeze. Well, it's supposed to be cold, but since it was a sun shiny morning, the balloon felt nice and warm. Even the little boy was enjoying himself.
There was a level crossing. He turned to the left, and right, and left again.
He could see the Tower of Spirits. It was gorgeous. The tall tower stood quietly. The tower reminds him of his adventuring days. Oh how he and Zelda hated the tower as they went deeper and higher. But they loved the tower still.
It was still a long way. "Only thirty more minutes. I don't need to worry about that!" Link chuckled to himself.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Maria was waiting for Zelda in the station. It's nine thirty now. She looked back, and saw a young girl walking out of the castle. The villagers saw that young girl. "Who is she?" asked a villager. Nobody knew.
Maria blushed as Zelda walked next to her, sitting down on the bench. "I-isn't that a bit to revealing?" asked Maria. Zelda laughed. Her laugh was sweet. Maria was lucky her grandmother knew Tetra.
If you're wondering, Tetra knew Maria's grandmother, Nova. Nova used to be a train conductor. Once Tetra became the Princess of New Hyrule, she elected Nova to be her helper. Nova loved her new job.
"Well, I think it's nice!" Zelda cheered. Maria kept on blushing. She was amazed nobody knew who Zelda is.
"The train should be here by ten, right?" asked Zelda. Maria nodded shyly.
Zelda looked at her oddly. "Maria, what's wrong?"
Maria gulped. She couldn't talk about it. He she just had to. He plucked up courage, and finally spoken. Why she's pretty unsure about this is because she's looking like what she looked like in the morning.
"Z-Zelda?"
"Hmm?" sang Zelda. She could see that Maria's face was scarlet.
"M-Maria! Are you sick? Is the heat hitting you?" Zelda was very, VERY worried.
'N-no. I'm not sick, P-Princess. It's just that why are you not wearing your night gown, and why you're dressed like that?"
Zelda smiled. She moved a bit closer to Maria, and hugged her. "Maria, I just wanted to sleep like that. And why am I wearing this, it's because I just want to. I am going to Aboda Village, Link's home town! And there's a frigging beach there! I'm guessing Niko would be telling the story on the beach".
Maria smiled. But her face is still red. She's kind of satisfied with the answer. "Ahh. I see. Anyways, you look kind of cute with that!" gleamed Maria. Zelda blushed. "Heh. Thanks. Anyways, you never told me stories about you grandmother. It must be very exciting!"
Maria tried to remember her grandmother's words, because her grandma talked in Ancient Hyrule. Maria have not been talking to people in Ancient Hyrule for a very, very long time.
"Hmm… That's a bit tough. She tells me stories in Ancient Hyrule. Do you know or understand Ancient Hyrule, Zelda?" asked Maria.
Zelda was awfully confused. Ancient Hyrule? No one talks like that in years, no. In decades. "I know how to talk in Ancient Hylian, but the problem is, I have not spoken in that kind of language in years. Last time I did was when I was nine years old. I know how to, and I understand it. I could also read it. I wonder if Link could read, or understand Ancient Hylian" said Zelda.
Maria was oh so pleased. So she started talking about her grandma's story in Ancient Hylian. It'll be in English, so we all know. I too, don't even understand how to read it, let alone speak. Not even Stella could.
It was a long time ago, started Maria, when the pirates landed here on New Hyrule. They never served the Trifoce anymore. The place was run with railway tracks, and trains. Tetra looked at everything, and there were no ships. No horses and no carriages.
Zelda was very astonished. She was telling a story, in italic! I-I mean in Ancient Hyrule! Other villagers were very surprised. Their grandparents taught them how to speak in such a language. They all gathered the station, and listened to Maria.
A train engineer saw few people on said station. They went to Aboda, and saw pirates! But they were not bad pirates. Tetra's crew saw a train. They went in, and the conductor asked the, where they want to go. Tetra said she wanted to go to everywhere the train can take. Since the train was needed to start with coal, it doesn't need it for the whole journey, since the tracks are filled with energy like never before.
"Woah! She's good!" said one villager. The others agreed. The Gerudo like pirate walked to the station. She asked Zelda what's going on. "What's going on around here. I haven't seen the station this crowded since your return".
"You should hear her! She's telling us a story, in Ancient Hylian!" screamed Zelda. The Gerudo like pirate was amazed.
They went to different places. They had so much fun. Then, the last stop was the castle. It was exactly like the old Hyrule. For some reason, Tetra transformed back into a Princess. After that, they all went to different places. Linebeck went to a faraway place, somewhere in the Forest Realm. Gonzo stayed with her, and Niko went to a better place, somewhere peaceful and serene. He asked Nova to take him back to Aboda. He went to build a house, and stayed there.
A train approached the station. But nobody could hear it. They were focused on Maria telling her story. Nobody heard the train, nor the footsteps of a train engineer. The train engineer walked next to Zelda, and listened to Maria.
"So that's it!" Maria was so proud of herself. She told the whole village in Ancient Hylian. Teacher didn't come to the station, but he's capable enough to understand what she's talking about. He could speak in that language too.
"What happened to Link's ancestor?" asked Zelda. The others agreed.
"Yeah," said a train engineer, "what did happen?"
"Hmm. I don't know. She never told me about him".
The others have not noticed that Link was asking about his own grandfather. "Well, he stayed in Hyrule Castle with Tetra, and became a guard" told Link.
Zelda looked to the left, and there he was, Link, standing next to her.
"Ahh! Link! I-I didn't see you!" screeched Zelda. Link smiled.
Niko lived a long age, and still living, with me and Alfonzo, Gonzo's descended.
They were all surprised. Link could speak that language? That was almost unthinkable!
"Link! You never told me you could speak in Ancient Hylian! But can you read it? If you can, read this!" Zelda pointed at the tablet, near the stairs that head to Castle Town.
"It says: Welcome to Hyrule Castle's Castle Town" read Link.
They were all amazed. They never knew that Link could speak in that language. If you were wondering, he didn't learn it. He knew about it since he was a little kid. It's like in his bloodline. Zelda knows it by heart. She understands and could read, but she couldn't speak it. She could only speak it a little bit.
"Well, shall we go?" asked Link. Zelda blushed, and grabbed his hand. He walked her into the Spirit Train coach, and closed the door.
Link hopped onto the place where he operates the train, blew his whistle, placed a bit of coal, and the train started to move. It does not need more coal, because all the trains here could run with the energy in the railway tracks.
"Be careful Princess! And Link, protect her!" pleaded Maria. Link replied with the Spirit Train's whistle.
They traveled through the quickest route. Link was utterly surprised. "No enemies? No tanks or those Bulblin riding those Bulbos? Hmm…that's weird. They love to ambush me. Odd, but I shouldn't be unhappy about it. I shouldn't jinx it either".
Princess Zelda was happily looking at the scenery. It was peaceful. There we no cannons, no enemies on land or air, and there were definitely no mice in the train. We all know she's afraid of mice.
A sound could be heard from a distance. It was a train whistle. But not just any train whistle. No, it IS a train whistle. Link saw that train, and the train was going faster and faster. He was approaching the level crossing. He was about to go right, but he quickly stopped. He pulled the reverse, in order to make a life saver.
The runaway train came from the left, and passed Link. "HELP! HELP ME!" screamed a train engineer, "the train couldn't stop! HELP!"
Link reversed, switched the tracks, and was in pursuit of the runaway train.
He chased the train like there was no tomorrow. Zelda could see that he's going extremely fast. She opened the window, and saw that he's pumped. "Link! What's the matter! Aboda is that way!"
"There's a runaway train! I should stop it!" screeched Link as he tried to ready his bow and arrow. Well, the bow and arrow might slow it down a bit. "Link," shouted Zelda, "try going in a different direction! While going in reverse, use the Whirlwind to slow the train, and bump it while going forward! That might help!"
Link thought about it for a little bit. There was another level crossing. He moved forward, and put his train onto reverse.
In no time flat, he was chasing it in reverse.
He finally caught up. He was driving in reverse, and the Spirit Train's smoke box is in front of the other train. Link pulled the Whirlwind. He sucked up as much air he could, and blew it all onto the runaway train. The train started to slow down.
Link repeated the method three times. He was farther away from the train. Finally, he put the train in forward, and the Spirit Train is going very fast.
"This is a bad idea. I'm sorry Alfonzo" cried Link.
"SHOOT! I'm going to die! I CAN'T STOP! GAH!" screamed the train engineer.
"Tetra, help us…" prayed Zelda.
The two train engineer's train clashed together. The Spirit Train lost a heart, and the other train also.
The Spirit Train and Link were struggling to keep it in one place. The train engineer was trying to pull the breaks, but to no avail.
Link jumped hoped off the train, and used his Whip to catch the funnel of the other train, so he could climb inside the cab of the train.
The two trains were starting to shudder. They can't hold the pressure. Link quickly went inside the cab, and tried to pull the breaks, but to no avail. He used his whip to catch the lever of the Spirit Train's gearbox.
He pulled out his sword and hit the other trains lever. It didn't break, but it did crack. Now it's unusable. He then pulled his sword down with the lever to the break position. He pulled the whip, and the Spirit Train started to stop.
"Thank goodness" said Link.
"I'm so sorry! My gearbox broke! I'm so sorry!" apologized the train engineer. Link smiled, and walked over to the Spirit Train.
"Okay Zelda. We're leaving again!" cheered Link. Zelda smiled, and she's not that tense anymore. She sat down, and looked at the scenery.
Link put the train in reverse, and drove the Spirit Train and the other train to Aboda Village.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
The two trains finally reached Aboda Village. Alfonzo was waiting in the station. He was about to greet the two, until he saw the dent on the Spirit Train's buffers and another train in front of it.
"WHY IN HYRULE HELL IS THE BUFFER DENT? AND WHY IS THAT TRAIN HERE?" shouted Alfonzo.
The train engineer explained to him that Link was trying to save his ass back there. Alfonzo was amused by his story.
"Is it true?" asked Alfonzo. Link and Zelda nodded. Alfonzo was very amazed. The two saved another citizen from peril.
"C'mon! Let's go!" hurried Zelda, and runs off to Niko's house. "Wait for me darling!" laughed Link. Zelda didn't go to the house. Instead, it turns out they were playing tag.
Alfonzo smiled at the scene. "Okay! Let's go to the shed and fix these trains, shall we?"
The train engineer nodded. Alfonzo and the train engineer pushed the two trains to the shed, and started fixing it.
Link and Zelda are very cheery today. They were playing tag. They were happily running along the village. They all knew who they are.
Zelda once came to Aboda with Link a week ago. They had so much fun together. They played and chatted.
Link was about to catch Zelda, but he tripped on a rock, and fell. Zelda fell down also, because Link caught her hand during the fall. They both fell on the ground.
Their eyes met. The two's faces were getting closer.
"HEY GUYS! Come inside! You don't want to get 'too much' attention, right?" chuckled Niko.
The two sighed. They were so close too. Link got up, pulled Zelda up, and walked into the house.
They went inside, and saw Niko with a book of pictures and maps. On the table, there were his old gear from his adventuring days. "What are those Niko?" asked Zelda.
"Those are my things from my old adventuring days," said Niko, "they used to help me during my olden days Zelda. I think this is for you Link. Open it with a legendary song, and make sure you use it as a final resort".
Link took the map, and placed it inside his adventure pack, opening it later in the future.
"And this is for you, Zelda." Niko placed some kind of picture. It was Tetra and Link's ancestor. His ancestor looked exactly like him, or should we say Link looks like his own grandfather. She placed the picture in her wallet. There was a place for paper, and she placed it there.
"Ahh yes! Niko, this is for you." Zelda grabbed a necklace. Well, let's talk about it a bit more about the necklace.
The Necklace belonged to Tetra when she was at New Hyrule, being the Princess. Not like any other necklace, this one has the Triforce of Wisdom.
Zelda took the necklace, and gave it to Niko. Niko was very happy. "Thank you. Do you want me to tell you the story now?"
Link and Zelda nodded. "I'll make you something Zelda. We could hear him tell the tale while I cook!"
Niko sat down, and told the tale.
"Long ago, we were sailing the seas. His grandfather and Tetra found a new land. It was not like Hyrule. This place was protected by the Spirits of Good. The Tower being it's lock, and the tracks being the shackles. We set the boat here, on Aboda. Then, we say a train. We boarded it, and Tetra made a new friend."
Zelda was very surprised. "Was the 'new friend' Nova?"
Niko chuckled. Link, on the other hand, was very confused. "How did you know?"
"Maria, Nova's granddaughter told me the story" said Zelda.
"Anyways, we traveled to different places of every realm. Finally, Nova dropped us off near the Tower of Spirits. We went inside, and we saw two people. They were-" Niko was cut off by Zelda and Link.
"Anjean and Byrne" the two answered. Niko smiled.
"Correct. Those two were in the tower. We introduced ourselves. The two were happy to see new faces. The old one, Anjean, was taking care of the tower, whilst training this young man, Byrne. After a long chat, Nova came back. She took us all, but Tetra, Gonzo, Linebeck, myself, and Link's grandfather".
"Here's you omelette, Zelda" said Link. Zelda thanked him, and continued listening. "Wait. Why did they stay? Why won't they leave the tower?" asked Link. Zelda nodded.
"Very good question, Link. Your ancestor, Gonzo, and Tetra were entrusted by Anjean. She gave the Spirit Flute to her, because she knows that she's the heir to Hyrule. She gave it to her, so she could help protect New Hyrule".
"What happened to the rest?" asked Zelda.
Niko sighed. "Nobody knew. Once they're gone, they didn't even bother to write letters to each other. But we all know that their descended is still here".
"What happened to Gonzo and Link? Did anything happen to them?" asked Link and Zelda. Niko was actually pretty happy to hear that question.
"Gonzo became one of the guards of Tetra. He also recruited more, and became head soldier. Link became one of his underlings. He protects Tetra at any cost. Tetra remained as Tetra, but she regained her royal heir and Princess, and ruled over New Hyrule. Some tribes from out adventuring days came to New Hyrule and settled in their perspective climates. Linebeck went to someplace to find treasure."
Link and Zelda were very amazed. Niko, at the age of one-hundred something, still remembered about his adventuring days. They were very, very happy. After Zelda finished her omelette, Link wanted to take her to someplace special.
"Where are you taking me?" asked Zelda, "somewhere special?"
"Oh yes. Very special. I would love to show you my favorite hideout." Link was very excited. He's going to take her to where he likes to train wielding his sword, and a place where he could spend his time alone.
They walked outside. Zelda started running to everywhere again. Link laughed. "I'll get you!"
The two seem to be playing again. Niko looked out the window, and saw the two playing again. He smiled. "Oh youth. It'll be nice to be young again. Ahh, where's my cup of coffee?" wondered Niko.
The two seem to be having fun. It seems like Zelda's 'it' this time, and stated chasing Link.
They had the most fun time of their lives, until she tripped, and fell. Luckily, she grabbed Link's uniform.
The two fell down. They looked at each other's eyes, and blushed.
They were about to kiss, until…
"LINK! YOUR TRAIN IS FIXED AGAIN!" screamed Alfonzo from the station.
Oh how they were upset. Can they even get some time alone? Link stood up, and pulled Zelda.
They both walked, and saw that train engineer. "Thank you for saving me you too. It means a lot to me!" thanks the train engineer.
"You're welcome! Be careful, ok?" assured Link and Zelda. The train engineer nodded, and went away.
Link and Zelda hopped onto the train. Zelda to the coach, and Link started to start the train itself. He blew his whistle, and went away.
"HEY! Where are you going?" shouted Alfonzo. Link blew his whistle four times. Alfonzo chuckled. "Don't do anything strange with her, Link".
Link drove the train, and went left. He then went right, into his secret hideout. Only he knows where I is, and how to get there. He stopped on the buffers. He hopped off, and pushed said buffers down, revealing another set of buffers behind the train. He pressed a button, and the turntable started moving.
Once it stopped, he said to Zelda that it's okay to hop off the train. Zelda did what she was told, and hopped off. Link's hideout was in a little forest. Now, only Alfonzo, Niko, Zelda, the Postman, and himself who knew where it is. They had fun together. Rode the swing, and chatted.
There was a table, with two chairs, and it's under a Gazebo. It has a chandelier, a candle place, and a fan. A perfect place for a romantic candlelit dinner. They went under it, and talked there.
"How's castle life?" asked Link. Zelda laughed. "Boring! I wanna go out with you Link! I've been itching to go out again!"
Link smiled. They looked at each other. Link closed his eyes, and grabbed Zelda slowly. Zelda had this sudden reaction to go and kiss him.
They moved a bit closer, but they got interrupted by a postman. They were so close too!
"O-oh. Did I interrupt you?" asked the postman. Link and Zelda sighed. "No. Well, yes, but tell me why you're here" said Link.
"Umm…I got a letter for you two. It's from a Mr. Steve Henderson. And I'm sorry for disturbing you two!" pleaded the postman.
Zelda smiled, but smiled a weak smile. "Nah, it's okay. Off you go." The postman hurried out. He seems upset that he interrupted their moment.
"Steve? You teacher?" asked Link.
"Yeah. I wonder why he wanted us to read the letter.
Link and Zelda opened the letter, and started reading it.

Me: Ahh! Finally, done with the first chapter.
Link and Zelda: *cries in the gazebo*
Stella: I think they're sad because you didn't let the kiss, Seth. I don't know about the readers though.
Me: No worries! A lot will be happening in the next chapter!
Please don't forget to review, favorite, and comment!
Thank you for reading the first chapter of 'The Missing Tracks'!
