Man I have a lot of stories. I have ADD, I know it... I mean, Mario, Sonic, Kirby, Mega Man, Kamen Rider, SUPER HUMAN SAMURAI, (I mean, come on, who even remembers that show!) Code Lyoko, I don't know how I'm going to finish all of these!
AHH!!!!!!!!
But anyway, I was playing Ocarina of Time, and I got this idea for a story revolving around Link and Malon.
I do not own Legend of Zelda.
The Fairy Boy and the Farm Girl
Why did he always do this? It was a simple task: go to Hyrule Castle and deliver the milk they ordered, and he couldn't even do that right. She stood at the entrance tapping her foot with her arms crossed. She looked up at the sun, which was setting. If he didn't make it back soon, the gates would close. Assuming he was even in the town he would be stuck there until tomorrow. She grumbled to herself before turning to the ranch.
"Mr. Ingo, I'm going out," she called out to the stable, "I'll try to make it back before dark."
"Alright Malon," a voice called back, "Give that father of yours a good tongue lashing for me too, will ya?" he asked, knowing exactly where she was going. This was routine. Talon goes to either Hyrule Castle or Kakariko Village for a delivery, but then falls asleep and ends up either delivering the milk late, coming home late, or all of the above, Malon then goes to the location of the delivery to see her father fast asleep. She wakes him up, gives him a lecture, and sends him on his way, and the cycle starts all over again. She walked to the castle town, wondering when she would run into her lazy father.
Hyrule Castle Town was huge! Much larger than the forest he called home for ten years of his life. Once he entered he just looked around, mesmerized by all of the people.
"Link, focus!" his fairy partner, Navi shouted flying in his face.
"Oh, sorry Navi. I was just amazed by how big this place was. I've never been outside the forest, so this is a new experience for me," Link explained with an awkward smile.
"I understand that, but we don't have time to go sight seeing. The Deku Tree is counting on us to get to the castle and warn Princess Zelda about..." Navi's voice trailed off as she saw her partner walk away looking around again, "Hey! Are you even listening?!"
Link was so entranced by the large city that he couldn't focus. Not on Navi, and certainly not on the mission. It was then that he saw something that made his heart do a strange flutter.
She was even more beautiful than the town. She had long red hair, big blue eyes, and probably the sweetest smile. Right now though she looked a little annoyed though, but Link didn't care. She still looked like an angel. Navi was trying to get his attention, but her voice sounded so distant at the moment. Before he even knew what he was doing he was walking forward.
"And where are you going?! Hey! Link!" Navi called out flying after her absent minded partner.
"Um, excuse me?" Link said softly behind Malon. She turned around with a smile, confirming Link's assumption, "Is something wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing I'm not used to," she explained, "My father came here for a delivery, but he hasn't come home yet," she sighed crossing her arms, "That man..."
"Can I help?" Link offered. Before Malon could say anything though, Navi flew in front of her face.
"Link! We can't get side tracked! We have to go to the castle and meet Princess Zelda!" Navi shouted flying in Links face.
"You're trying to get into the castle?" Malon asked. Link lightly pushed Navi out of his way and nodded.
"Yeah, I'm on an important mission," he explained. It was then that Malon finally looked on his back and saw that he had a small sword and a wooden shield.
"Wow, that's so cool!" she said, her eyes glowing in excitement, "So, are you on an adventure?" she asked, smiling brightly looking into his eyes.
"Yeah, and I have to send a message to Princess Zelda," Link explained, but Navi chimed in.
"Something that should have been done at least an hour ago, only he can't seem to focus for longer than ten seconds!" Navi said tackling Link in the side of his face lightly. Looking at these two reminded Malon of the relationship she had with her father.
"My father went to the castle to deliver milk to the king. Why don't we go together? I can get you past the castle gates if he's there," Malon explained.
"Now we're talkin'" Navi said bouncing up and down. She then turned to Link, "I told you stopping to talk to her was a good idea. You should listen to me more," Navi stated, making Link roll his eyes.
"Yeah, okay Navi," Link said. Malon then grabbed his hand, catching his attention.
"Let's go!" Malon said with a smile. Link nodded and the two children ran to the castle together.
Thanks to Malon, they made it to the castle. Malon told the guards that Link was with her. The guards knew that Malon was trustworthy since they saw her every week, so when she told them about Link and Navi they had to believe her. They found her father next to the castle, fast asleep. Malon rolled her eyes and walked over to him. For some reason Link got a little worried watching her. She then did something that shocked both Link and Navi. She screamed, loudly, and angrily, right next to her father.
Talon jumped up with a start, "Whoa!" he then looked at the angry glare of his daughter, and he actually looked really scared, "Oh, uh, Malon... What are you... doing here...?" he asked. That was when the yelling started. For a few seconds, Navi and Link just stared at them, thankful that she wasn't yelling at them. Every now and then Talon tried to get a word in, but Malon was on a roll, and didn't plan on stopping anytime soon. Eventually she did stop, and walked over to Link.
"Apparently he didn't deliver the milk, so you'll have to," Malon said, shocking Link and Navi.
"Wh, what?!" Link asked. Malon then handed him the containers with the milk in them.
"Send this to the king and you'll get a free passage into the castle. Just look for Zelda on the way out," Malon explained.
"Um... okay...?" Link said, confused as heck. Malon walked over to her father and took his hand, leading him to the exit.
"I'll tell the guards that you're finishing the delivery for us," Malon explained with a smile, "Come to the ranch later and tell me about your adventure," Malon said. Link nodded with a smile.
"I will, definitely!" and with that Malon and her father walked off. Link just stared at Malon as she walked off, until Navi snapped him out of his daze again.
"Come on Link! They aren't going to wait forever!" Navi shouted.
"Right, let's go Navi!" Link said, taking one last look at Malon and her father.
I had a little trouble starting this, but tell me what you think. It'll heat up later, don't worry.
