Ok, so this story is about Link and Malon. It has some references from my sariaxlink story (named SariaxLink), so to get some of the "jokes", please read that one. Please review and enjoy.

Chapter 1

"Damn it's hot." Malon said as she rode in the back of the wagon, even with the tarp over the top it was still stifling. It too everything she had not to throw the milk out to back and lay on top of the ice the milk was sitting on to keep it cool.

"What was that sweet heart?" Malon's father Talon asked. He was the one driving to wagon over Hyrule Field. Malon didn't really look anything like Talon. Where Malon had long red hair, Talon had black balding hair. Where Malon was full of energy, Talon was "full of lazy" as their ranch hand Ingo would say. The only thing that they shared was they both had blue eyes. She must have gotten her long red hair and energy from her mother, but she never knew. Her mother had died when she was a child, and they didn't have any pictures of her.

"Nothing." Malon stretched out her legs and moved up to sit with her father. They were passing over the bridge to Kikariko Village, and they stopped out side of the stairs, because there was no way that they would be able to get the horses up the stairs. Instead of going into the Village they had the customers wait out by the stairs. "Anju!" Malon called out with a wave, in which the girl returned. When Talon stopped the cart, and made his way to the back. Malon however jumped down and ran up to Anju. Even though Anju was older, they were the same height.

"Hey Malon, my how have you grown. How old are you now 14? 15?" Anju asked.

"I'm 16 if you must know, I had my birthday last week." Malon replied proudly.

"Ha ha, I see. I remember my 16th birthday. Anyway I need some milk." Anju said with a smile.

"You'll have to talk to my father, I'm taking care of the horses today." Malon said as she walked off to the two identical brown horses that were tied up to the cart. She wasn't going to unhook them from the cart, but she did check underneath the harness's for any signs of a rash. When she did that she took out a brush and proceeded to brush there mane's. Her father had told her countless times that she didn't need to do that, because the wind would just mess it up again, but she couldn't help herself. This made the horses happy, and if it made them happy then she was happy. She did this until her father was done selling the milk, when he was finished they rode off again. They made there way in the direction of Lake Hylia where, again, they would have to stop outside of the place because of a metal fence in the way. Stopping outside of a populated area was very dangerous because of bandits, and robbers. They had a crossbow and a sword, but since neither of them had any experience with either, they were next to useless. She often wished Link would return, at least he was good with a sword, and he was one of her best friends. But he disappeared six years ago, and she hasn't heard anything from him since. She really only knew about Link from the time he was at the ranch, but he was a fun person to play with, and he told very good stories, which he claimed all happened but some she didn't believe. Along time ago she told herself that he wasn't coming back, but a very small part of her told her that he was. He probably wouldn't remember her if he did come back.

She was in the back of the cart, laying down when she felt the cart start to slow down. 'We can't possibly be there yet' she thought to herself. She moved to the front, and saw a man in a great big black trench coat, and an even bigger sword on his back, it must be at least bigger than her, he had long dirty blonde hair that was blowing in the slight breeze. 'How can he walk around with that coat on?' Malon asked herself, then it dawned on her: they were stopping for this man. Indeed they were, because they stopped alongside of him and her father called to him. She was expecting a very torn up face, with wrinkles as deep as crevices, and half blind eyes, but instead was a very smooth, beautiful baby blue eyes. The only thing that disrupted his face was a scar on his cheek, that started near his nose, and ended at his left ear.

"Where are you headed stranger?" Talon asked in a very cheery tone.

"Lake Hylia." The man replied, he had a very soft tone ton his voice.

"So are we, would you like a ride?" Talon asked. 'Dammit dad.' Malon thought to herself. Her father would pick up the God of Darkness himself if he asked.

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble." The man replied with a little bow.

"Of coarse not!" Talon boomed. "Just jump in the back, and watch for the milk." The man did, he took off his sword and set it on the ground in front of himself, and sat on the floor. Malon had moved up front with her father.

"So whats our name stranger?" Talon asked, as they took off again.

"James." The man said as he brushed hair out of his eyes.

"And where are you from James?"

"Uh," James seemed stumped for a second, searching for the right answer. "I forget, I have been traveling around for most of my life." He said.

"Oh, have you meet any interesting people on you travels?"

"Yeah, I meet a lot of interesting people, probably the most interesting person was a boy named Link." He said as he took a drink from a canteen.

"What?!" Malon practically shouted, as she turned on the bench she was sharing with her father. Her sudden movement and yelling, made James fumble his canteen in his hand. When he finally had a hold onto it again, he was a little wet.

"What do you know him?" James asked shaking the water off one of his hands.

"Yes, he was a little boy who use to come to our ranch. Were did you meet him?" Talon asked.

"In a mining town, though he wasn't little, he looked about 13, he told the most interesting stories." James said as he drained the rest of his canteen.

"Have you seen anything of his since?" Malon asked.

"No, sorry. When I talked to him, he kept talking of a girl with long red hair named Malon, I assume your her?"

"Yeah, I am." Malon replied as she turned in back around in her seat. They rode in silence for the rest of the ride, James had fallen asleep about halfway to the Lake.
