Soooooooooo, this is my absolute first story, and I need help. If it turns out all weird with the format or something, please please please please tell me. If you want to critique me, go ahead. If it sucks b*lls, tell me, shout at me. I'll only thank you.

And a couple more notes, this is a kind've an Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask fic. Link, and Malon go and visit Clock Town and Link meets a lot of old friends. I changed a few small things so my story would fit together a little better and here they are,

The credits show Anju and Kafei getting married-Didn't happen,

Link is going to be around seventeen in this fic so Malon and Romani aged. Cremia and Lulu and most of the other characters don't,

The beach isn't infested with tectites and other monsters,

The Goron you steal the reservation from is Darunia's son,

Link doesn't lose his masks.

Malon has a new horse named Eponin (rip-off from Epona I know)

There is a new way to reach Clock Town and it's through Termina Field,

Sorry if I missed anything.

Like I said, correct me, critique me, insult me, flame me, it'll only make my day.

One last thing, people are always showing disclaimers and saying don't sue me sooooo, just for the safety of what little money I have, I don't own anything of The Legend of Zelda games.

It was a beautiful day on Lon Lon Ranch and Link had just finished a jumping course with Epona. He had been thinking about going to visit Clock Town, he hadn't been there since the moon had almost fallen from the sky. It was one of his strangest adventures, being caught in a seemingly never ending loop. So many things were happening at once, he remembered going to help people over and over again to figure out how to save that Goddess-forsaken place. It almost upset him having to meet all of his friends over and over again because they couldn't remember him. But it was over now and he didn't have to worry about that.

He was just about to leave the Ranch when Malon ran out, apparently she finished milking the cows. Link didn't know how she could've though, the task had been given to her less than 10 minutes ago.

"Hey Link, where are you going?" she called.

"Oh, I was just about to head to Clock Town," Link couldn't fathom why Malon could care, she'd been all over Hyrule, whether her father liked it or not.

She looked at him with a small frown, "Where's that? Never mind, dad wants me to leave the house for a couple of days and I was wondering if I could go with you."

Link scratched the back of his head and underneath his ever present hat, "I don't know, Malon, it's out of Hyrule."

"Oh please?" she looked at him with pleading eyes.

"I don-" Link tried to say but Malon interrupted him, oh why did everyone always interrupt him?

"Oh come on Link, I'll be O.K. with you."

"Why does your dad want you to leave the Ranch anyways?" Link asked with an exasperated tone.

"My guess is he wants to set up a surprise for my birthday."

"Your birthday isn't for another week."

"Yeah," she responded with an "as a matter of fact" voice.

"All right but we're going to be gone for more than a couple of days," said Link. He decided to make the best of it, for Malon's sake and his sake. Besides, it might be fun.

"Yay, just let me get Eponin!" Malon said as she ran to the large pen in the middle of the Ranch.

Link waited patiently for Malon to go and retrieve her horse. This will be interesting having Malon meet everyone in Clock Town. Maybe I should take her to see Romani and Cremia. I'll bet she'd like them. Link was so lost in thought he didn't notice Malon ride up next to him on her beautiful chestnut horse with a black mane.

"Come on, Hero, let's get going! I wanna go see Clllloooock Toooooowwwwwn" she said testing the name on her tongue. Malon then burst into a fit of giggles when Link made a face at her, he joined her laughter a second later.

A few hours later, Malon and Link were riding through a shady little forest in silence. At least until Malon broke it saying with a bored voice,

"Are we there yet?"

"We're getting there Malon, by the way, would rather go see Clock Town or Romani Ranch first?" Link asked turning back to look at her. Since Malon didn't know how to get there, Link had been leading the way ever since they left Hyrule field.

"Let's go see Clock Town first, I live on a ranch too, they can't be too different," Malon replied after a small pause. Link smiled to himself, Malon sure will be surprised.

"All right, now we're at Termina Field. By the way, make sure you always run fast here, there's a bird that will snatch anything he can," said Link. He didn't think Malon's father would be too happy if he found out Link had allowed them to get robbed.

"A bird?" asked Malon with an incredulous expression, but unfortunately Link wasn't there to see it because he was several paces ahead of Malon at a fast gallop.

She followed Link all the way to an entrance to a big stone wall where Link jumped off Epona and waited patiently for Eponin to catch up.

"What was with leaving me back there?" cried Malon with feigned anger. "And why'd you get off Epona?" she said, this time sounding confused.

Link answered her with a grin, "Well I did warn you didn't I, and they don't let horses inside the town." He wasn't too worried, Epona was an amazingly strong horse. It even surprised Link sometimes, and he new she would protect Eponin to the best of her abilities, even if Termina Field was a bit more hazardous than in Hyrule.

"Well then what are we gonna do with them?" Malon asked looking worried for her two favorite horses in the world.

"Don't worry Epona knows her way around, they'll be fine," Link said trying to reassure Malon.

"Oh. O.K. If you say so," Malon still looked apprehensive.

"It's alright, now let's go inside," replied Link with a cheerful voice. He couldn't wait to see all of his old friends.

As soon as Link entered the South Clock Town Gate, he spotted Anju, a girl he knew worked at her mother's Inn. Anju was fine but he didn't like her mother very much, he remembered she tried to make her forget about Kafei. In fact Anju and Kafei had been one of his biggest motivations to saving Clock Town, after helping them all the way to the 3rd day and seeing how devoted they were to each other. Link couldn't wait to see Kafei again.

"Hey Anju! Anjuuuuuuu," he tried to shout over the noise. Fortunately, she heard him.

"Oh hello Link, how have you been," she said after she ran over an hugged him.

Something seemed off, but Link couldn't tell what. She seems happy to see me, but she has a sad look about her eyes. He looked at her, grinned and said,

"Fine. By the way, Anju, this is Malon, Malon, Anju."

They shook hands but Anju paused and took a closer look at Malon.

"Link, you're not trying to pull the wool over my eyes, are you? This looks a lot like Romani," Anju asked.

"Hah, don't worry Anju, I'm not lying. Malon is from Hyrule," replied Link, he hadn't seen Romani for a while but they couldn't look that similar.

Malon was looking a little confused, but she decided to vouch for Link,

"I don't who Romani is, but I assure you Link is telling the truth."

"Well, O.K." said Anju with a small smile, she then turned to Link and said,

"It really is nice to see you again Link, it must be 6 or 7 years now, right?" she had a whistful look in her eyes.

"Thanks Anju, yup 7 years, sorry I haven't visited sooner. I was worried you might have forgotten me," Link joked. He was still trying to figure out why she looked so sad.

"Oh you don't have to worry about that Link, you're the one who saved this town, how could anyone forget," Anju gave him another small but somehow detached smile.

"So how's Kafei?" he tried to change the subject. He didn't really feel comfortable talking about his adventures. He wasn't really the same when he was fighting to save the "worlds".

Immediately Anju's smile faded and her eyes teared up, "He... He's dead Link."

"Wait, what? How did he die Anju? What happened?" Link looked almost angry hearing about Kafei's death. But he got a hold of himself and started comforting Anju.

"There, there Anju. I'm so sorry." He really hadn't meant to shout like that. He pulled her into a friendly hug. Link knew Kafei had been a kid when he left, but, their love had been so strong. It sounded so cruel hearing that they'd been torn apart.

"No, it's alright Link. He, Kafei and I were out for a walk and a couple of thugs..." she couldn't continue because the tears were falling too fast now.

"Hey it's O.K. Anju... I've got a great idea. Malon, let's go to Romani Ranch now, I'm sure Anju here would love to see Cremia," Link gave Anju a smile.

"It'll be fun!"

When they arrived at Romani Ranch, Link dismounted Epona and helped Anju off. Malon also got off Eponin and put an arm around Anju to console her. She was still crying but not nearly as loudly as before, and she was glad to be seeing Cremia again. She hadn't gone to greet her friend in a while.

Link, after making sure Anju was O.K., ran over to the house and knocked on the door. Romani answered and Link was shocked to see how much she really did look like Malon, though his always stoic face prevented Romani from seeing his surprise. Link recalled that Romani always called him Grasshopper because he hadn't told her his name, though now that he thought about it, Cremia probably told her his real name by now. They had also played a big role in motivating him to the finish. How Cremia knew what was going to happen and Romani and her innocent mind had no clue. Ignorance is bliss, he supposed.

After realizing who it was, Romani immediately swung her arms around Link's neck and gave him a big hug,

"Grasshopper, where have you been all this time, I missed you?" she practically shouted. Link hugged her back for a moment then said,

"Hey Romani, it's nice to see you again. Where's Cremia, Anju's here and she isn't feeling too swell," catching up could wait, he was here for Anju's sake, even if he had planned on visiting a couple of days from now.

"Oh that's right, poor Anju. I suppose Kafei had to come up again sometime. Of course Cremia and I will cheer her up for a bit. She's in the barn, I'll go get her."

Link headed back towards Malon and Anju and stood by them while they waited. He was just noticing how dark it was getting when not more than a second later, Cremia came out running with Romani close behind her. She ran right up to Link and greeted him in the same way as Romani. Malon couldn't help but notice all the hugs he was getting, and how he hugged everyone back.

Cremia then went to Anju and gave her a back-breaking embrace.

"You really need to get your mother to give you more time off," she said.

Terrible ending, I know, but I had to stop this chapter somewhere.

I did the best I could.
