MY DIARY

DISCLAIMER
This is a diary by Ruto, through me, for Ruto, about Link, and all rights are reserved to Nintendo, through Ruto. Only by her most sacred of friends may read this, so be wary. She warns you, don't spam, or she'll kick your tail. She also warns, don't steal this from her. This includes plagiarizing in any way, shape, or form, along with re-creating this, naming it your own, and/or rewriting this with different words, but with the exact same or similar plot. She once again warns, don't be a bitch. And now she says her thanks.

AUTHOR'S NOTE
Follow the above guidelines, or else. That's just the beginning; read all this: This diary will have 5 entries in it per chapter, but I might have to add more to it than that later on. Chapters will not be named, except for Chapter I, Chapter II, Chapter III, Chapter IV, etc. The dates are arranged by how many days after she first met Link it was. So, for instance, if the entry states 'Day 7', it means that entry was written 7 days after she first met Link. Got it? Good. If you don't understand for some unknown reason, either e-mail me or state it in your review. She didn't write in this every day, so some days, weeks, or even months may be skipped. I will accept ideas, but they must be reasonable. For instance, I won't write about Ruto's and her father's sex life, not even if a billion people wanted me to. I will give you some credit for your idea if you post it. This is rated T for a reason, mostly because of romance, strange bits of humor, and because I will occasionally cuss, ok? Good. And holy shit, I just realized it, but my both this and my other fic are romance, and I'm a guy. Damnit. Also, flames, bitchy readers, etc. are not welcome. Everything will be in italics. If you don't like it, too bad. Ruto has her opinions, and you have yours. I defend Ruto, and everything she does/says/thinks/whatever. Another thing: if you think that this'll be a short fic with 5 chapters or so, you are indeed incorrect. Think about it: 5 entries per chapter, and we've got a long 7 years or so. It might take 70 chapters just for one year. But hey, don't worry; I'll make sequels. In other words, there will be a total of 7 of these, so expect a bunch. And inside this chapter is a puzzle: figure out where I got the names of these countries from! It's really not hard, but the first two people who discover it get candies and cookies! No, really, I promise! Ok, have fun! And if this note was too long for you, tough shit.

SUMMARY
Ruto has kept a diary ever since she met Link, and finally, she shares it with her beloved friends. RxL


PART ONE, CHAPTER I

Day 3
Link left us today. I feel so sad and lonely. After I told him about the Zora tradition, he packed up and left. I know he'll never forget about me, though…

Once he said goodbye to Daddy, he stuffed my engagement ring into his pack. I was waiting for him outside of the waterfall, and when he came by, we stood there, motionless. His colorful, blue eyes radiated his love for me. I knew he'd be back. And then he started to dash away, jumping over the spots where there was no ground. I stood there waving, with tears running down my face.

I'll never forget our memories together. I remember how he held me high inside King Jabu-Jabu, and treated me like a princess. Well, you know what I mean. I also remember the fun we had swimming together in the Zora's Lake. Since he's a Hylian, he couldn't swim as well as I, but we still had fun. Oh, how I'll miss that boy…

With love,
-Ruto

Day 5
I've been sitting down next to the waterfall where Link got the Silver Scale, splashing my feet in the water aimlessly. Even now as I'm writing this, some Zoras are staring at me with disgust, their glares saying: 'Get over the guy. He's gone, and now he'll be a hero. He won't want a fish.'

Daddy said I got to stop sulking, but there's nothing else to do. My history books are boring, my swimming lessons are useless, my math teacher is sick, and my music teacher isn't in Hyrule: she's somewhere else. And besides, who wants to be friends with a spoiled, bratty princess? So, basically, I got nothing to do.

I don't know how Zora's do it. Do they even know what a crush is? I feel horrible, like nothing means anything. But at least I know that, somewhere, Link is helping to save my family and I, somehow.

That's all for now- Daddy is saying that I should go catch fish or something.

With lots of love,
-Ruto

Day 11
Oops, I haven't updated this in a while. I'm a bad girl.

My math teacher is back, and she's teaching us how to do fractions. Ptcha, I learned this years ago. Maybe I'm too smart for myself. Tee hee! I'm still really sad about Link though, and I still don't know what to do. Maybe I'll leave Lake Hylia, and go somewhere else. I've heard that Gorons are hot men, according to the older women. But I always thought that Gorons were living rocks? Oh well, maybe I'll ask Daddy about that. He's king and all, so he must be smart. But if Gorons are hot, what'll they do? I hope it's nothing bad.

Or maybe I'll go visit the Shiekah. I know that they live somewhere along the edges of Hyrule, because that's what everyone always says. They might be able to let me have some fun.

Or no! I know! There's got to be other living Zoras! There are barely any in and around Lake Hylia, so maybe there are other places! I've got to research this…

With excitement,
-Ruto

Day 12
Today in Math we're learning decimals. Oh whoop-de-doo. My uncle taught me this years ago, but he can't teach me any more: he died. It's ok though; I'm all better now. But if Link were to die, then… I might as well kill me before whoever this Ganondorf is, does.

I did some research last night and early this morning about Zoras. My history books really helped, because they had a map, and it showed that east and north of Hyrule was a large country known as Yulher, and to the south was a small country called Luhyre. To the west and south a bit was a place called Relyuh. I bet Ganondorf wants to destroy those places, too…

My atlas showed that the boundaries of those countries have changed a bit, as have ours, so I bet there was a war a while ago. My that's somewhere in my history books, too… My atlas also showed that Yulher, to the north, had lots and lots of water in it, so there's got to be Zoras there. I'll ask Daddy about it.

With love,
­-Ruto

Day 14
I've decided: I'll be going to Yulher. But mean Daddy said that I couldn't go till my next birthday, which is in 7 months. And he also promised to share a secret with me on that day! I love secrets! I guess in the meantime I'll study Yulher some more…

I wonder what'll happen to me once I'm at Yulher. Well, Daddy says I got a whole seven months to figure it. He doesn't seem very happy about. Maybe that's because I don't have a mommy. I don't know why, though. Everyone else does. But Daddy says it's ok. I bet he's sad because once I leave he'll have nobody to be friends with. Poor Daddy. Oops, sorry! I got to go now! My math teacher, Mrs. Piklestic, is yelling at me because I should be practicing how to do add fractions, not writing! Oh well, bye then!

With a smile,
-Ruto
