Life at Romani Ranch
Chapter 1: Knock and Cold
"The sky, it's so lovely, right Epona?" Link said to his horse, indeed the sky was lovely, the sky where an scary moon had been, in South Termina, Link and Epona were getting ready to go back home.
"Well, Epona I'm going to Clock Town to celebrate before going, it would be a waste to not to," he smiled, as he left Epona behind.
In Clock Town everyone were celebrating, it was the Carnival of Time today.
Link's pov
Clock Town was more lively then ever, people were everywhere, I decided to go to the Milk bar, I headed to North Clock Town and walked to Milk bar, as I put my hand on the handle of the door, it opens, so I looked up and saw Cremia's face.
"Boy, you're the one who helped me to deliver milk once, right?" She asked me, I nodded shyly, "listen, why don't come home with me, you can get some dinner too!" She said, without knowing it I slowly nodded.
Before I knew it, I was sitting in Romani Ranch eating dinner with the two girls, Romani and Cremia. The dinner was steak and potatoes it was very tasty.
"Hey Grasshopper, what is your home like?" A curious Romani asked.
"Well, I don't think it's much different then Termina, besides the fact we have more races, and the big castle too." I told them.
"Does that mean there's a ranch there too?" Cremia suddenly joined.
With my surprise I answered with this: "Yeah, Lon Lon Ranch, it has cows too, but also horses, oh and a girl that looks exactly like Romani and Cremia as an adult!"
Romani and Cremia were both in shock, "wow! There's a clone of me where you live?" Romani asked curious, "Boy, how old is she?" Cremia asked.
"Uh, the same as me, ten!" I said showing ten fingers, "ten? Then how would you know what she looks like, when she is an adult?" Cremia said.
"Uh, long story." I said filling food in my mouth, "Grasshopper, tell!" Romani shouted even more curious then before "yeah, do tell," Cremia said.
"Well, basically I'm the Hero of Time, and have been in the future." I said not feeling so happy, "boy, I never asked of your name, what is it?" Cremia said.
"Link." I answered her, and ate the last potato I had, I rose up and bowed "thank you for the food, I'll get going now." I said and walked to the door, "Grasshopper, you haven't had dessert!" Romani shouted.
"No, dinner is enough, I guess this is where I say goodbye," I said rather sadly, nobody had been this nice to me for a long time.
I opened the door, and walked to the Barn, I had left Epona in there.
"Looks like Romani tied you to this bucket," I said to Epona, I started to undo the tie, while I was doing this, I heard footsteps, I slowly looked be hide me.
What I saw was an angry, very angry looking cow, it was in attack stance and before I knew it, it came dashing towards me, quickly I pulled out my shield, I didn't take my sword since I would end up killing it then, I probably defended myself for an hour, I had gotten tried, too tried that I lost my guard, the cows small horn smacked into shield having it like out of my hand, the cow successfully hit me right in my stomach, I fell on my knees, it did hurt a lot, I coughed some blood up, the cow dashed once again, hitting even harder, I was knocked out cold.
The smell of hay was playing in my nose, I sneezed, I could feel I was laying in hay, it was so dark I couldn't see anything, I rose up and felt a wall, I followed the wall and found a door, it was locked, but the key was in the door, I unlocked the door, and without knowing did not unlock it correctly, I went out shutting the door behind me, I could see it was night I was at Romani Ranch, and had just left the Ranch House, I went to the barn to get Epona, just my luck, it was locked.
Feeling hopeless I turned towards the Ranch house, when I felt something wet fall down on my cheek, I looked up just to see it had started to rain, I ran to the house and tried to open the door, locked.
It was rather cold and wet, I went to the stall Epona was locked it when I first came to Romani Ranch, sneeze after another sneeze, I had caught a cold; I got so cold that I fell asleep.
A/N: I have had this story in mind for about a year now, I have written and re written this chapter quite a lot now.
