This is a short story, basically based on events that happened before and after Link was born. It tells of his mother, and possibly hints his father, but I will most likely save Link and his family issues for another story. I hope you enjoy!

Uli stood at the sink washing dishes. It had been a rather long and uneventful day. She had been given the burden of washing the dishes since 3 days ago since she got caught sneeking out of the house by her parents. Her dad had gone out to check on something outside, and her mom had retired early and was upstairs napping.
She stared at the soapy dishes in her hand, and the pile of dirty ones she had yet to do. It felt like she had been standing at that sink for years, for her hands felt rough and wrinkled from the luke warm water. She was so bored it was painful.
Crash! The startled Uli dropped the plate in her hand resulting in a splash of water on her. She turned around at the window, when she heard someone clumsily stumbling in. There she saw a raggedy looking young swordsman in a crouched position.
"Rusl!" Uli felt like slapping him. Rusl smiled misgeviously.
"Shhhhhh!" He said through pursed lips as he stood infront of her.
"Rusl! My mom is right upstairs! If finds out we are dead!" She tried to scold him. Rusl placed his finger on her lips.
"She wont find out as long as you keep quiet!" He hushed her. Uli gave a long sigh as she rolled her eyes.
"What are you even doing here? Aren't your parents wondering where you are?" Uli whispered this time.
"I snuck out. I don't have alot of time here... my parents might start looking for me at any moment now. They've been keeping a close eye on me ever since the other day..." Rusl said. A faint blush rose on her cheeks at the mention of "the other day". The reason why she's been locked inside the house, washing dishes until her hands turn red.
"Well... if you're on such a close watch then why did you sneek out and see me?" She attempted to maintain her composure, sometimes around Rusl she just couldn't help but melt.
"I wanted to kiss you goodnight." He said. "I felt like I didn't get to the last time." There was no way she could stay mad at him now. His hands slid gracefully onto her waist and the small of her back as he embraced her. She loved how gently he kissed her in moments like this.
Lucky for her she heard a faint thump outside the door. As much as she wanted to stay like this she pulled herself from his grasp.
"Oh my goddesses! I think that was my dad!" She gasped. "Quick! He cannot find you here!" She said. Rusl nodded and swiftfully climbed on the edge of the window.
"Uli..." he said to her. She spun her head around thinking of what he could possibly add now. "I love you." He said.
"I love you too." She told him as he snuck out of the window. Uli whipped her head back around to the sink to make it appear that she was doing the dishes.
"Hello sweetheart!" Her dad said cheerfully, giving her a hug.
"Hi Dad." He said back to him, hoping he didn't suspect anything.
"Who were you talking to?" He asked. Uli maintained her composure.
"What do you mean?" She said to him.
"I thought I could hear you talk to someone..." Her father said. Uli shrugged. "That Rusl kid wasn't here was he?" He said accusingly.
"Yeah right Dad!" Uli said sarcastically. "Totally... in the ten minutes that you were gone, Rusl sneeked out of his house, past his parents in through that window!" She ranted. "Managed not to wake up Mom, just to see me, and leave without you finding out! Yeah Dad totally!" She rolled her eyes and turned away while she laughed to herself.
"I'm sorry sweatheart..." Her dad said. "I just get so nervous leaving you alone... that Rusl is up to no good." He said. She hated when he talked about Rusl like that.
"You don't know him..." Uli murmured.
"Honey, Rusl is at that age where they only want one thing." He said this to her. Uli has heard this only everyday. She is constintly reminded of this. There is something telling her that that isn't true.
"No... no he doesn't... I really like him." She mumbled. She dare not say the "love" word around her father.
"Sweatheart. If you ask me you and Rusl are a little young to think of things like that." Her Dad said. This made Uli mad.
"Dad! What are you talking about 'a little young'? I'm almost 17!" And Rusl is almost 18! She thought to herself.
"Your too young if I say you are too young!" He declared. "Listen you and Rusl don't have any concept of things like love. Maybe when you and Rusl show a little responsibility I'll reconsider..." He said. There was an awkward silence. The only noise was the washing of the dishes. Uli was now almost finished.
"You can go to bed now." Her father said. "Goodnight." He said. Uli stomped to her room without another word.
Responsibility? That's his excuse?
