The market place was buzzing with people. Today was the
annual holiday celebrating the day link vanquished the evil king Ganondorf.
Malon had to push her way through the press of people whom where busying
themselves with hawking their merchandise. Her soft red hair was pulled back
from her face in a long braid. Her dress had ripped and she needed to get some
material to make a new one. At the moment she wore a plain tunic and male pants
that she had found in the attic. Her crystal blue eyes scanned the stores
looking for a reasonable price for some good quality clothe. She found a place
that suited her well and picked up a bolt of purple cotton clothe. She asked
the merchant what the price was and was reaching into her purse when a hand
grabbed hers. She jumped at the unexpected assault and turned to see who had
grabbed her. her blue eyes met another pair of eyes as blue as her own. A
handsome smile spread across his face as Link flipped a coin to the merchant
and took Malons hand leading her away from the stand. Her right hand in Links
and the bolt under her left arm, Malon could do nothing as Link's strong form
surged through the crowed dragging her along. He was wearing his blue tunic and
hat instead of his usual green today. His hair brushed and shinning with
healthiness. In a matter of moments Link and Malon escaped the crowed and were
walking along on Hyrule field. Since her hands were free from the press of
bodies, Malon took out her purse and handed Link the amount of money that the
bolt cost. He looked at it and and pushed it away with a smile and a sentence,
"I don't want the money, consider it a present that represents our friendship."
Malon smiled back at him and put the money away. He pointed at her clothes with
a small chuckle, "I hardly recognized you in men's clothing. I think that
dress's suit you better, though I must admit that I like the way it shows off
your figure." Malon blushed furiously with an embarrassed reply, "My dress
ripped and I don't trust my father enough to buy my clothe. I may have to wear
men's clothing for a while, as long as it will take me to make a new dress. I
have to go now. Its getting late and my father has a celebration dinner at home
for the holiday. It was nice seeing you again Link. I hope to see you again
soon." Link smiled at her and pulled her close. His lips brushed hers in a soft
warm kiss. It lasted only a moment but it seemed like a lifetime for Malon. He
whispered goodbye in her ear and hugged her to him. He kissed her once more
then turned and went back to the market place. Malon stood there for a moment
in complete awe. She lifted her hand to her lips and smiled at the memory. She
turned and made her way back to the farm, the smile never leaving her lips.
Malon woke up from her dream with a dazed feeling. She looked out her window at
the rising sun and sighed. In her heart she hoped that the dream she had would
one day come true. someday…
