A/N: After I finished Wind Waker I was like, "WAHHH! He sowed the seeds of the FUTURE!! WAHHH!" teary teary blah blah. Then I thought, what happened to Link the first? Then I got bored and I daydreamed and had some fun. I know that somone else has done something similiar to this, several people actually, about the Links meeting...I just want to let everybody know that this little story comes from my own inspiration, and not from them. (No offense.) :)~ Enjoy, my gracious reader, I hope. ^_^

Ch. 1~ The Sound of the Gong
As dawn approached, the sea appeared calm. Small waves gently lapped at the sides of two sturdy wooden ships while larger ones sent spray into the sky, sparkling in the weak light. It was the constantly moving surface of a slate and silver world, slowly changing into a rosey gold one, moving in powerful currents one might only see from very high up in the sky, beyond the clouds.
Link watched as the faint stars disappeared one by one and the clouds became bright pink against a red-orange sky. This was his favorite time of the day. It was a reminder of the quest that he and his friends had taken upon themselves. The quest to find a new home. A place where their people could be one again. A future. His green hat moved a little in the sea breeze.
He also considered it his own little pensive time, when he could reflect and absorb the peacefullness of the morning. His own little red boat, The Red Lion, was hitched to the side of the Pirates' boat, The Dragon's Shear. Link watched his boat bob up and down. It had been only three or four months since that boat could talk, then it had been the King of the Red Lions. He sighed.
"Hoy! Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning!"
"Wah!" Link felt himself nearly jump out of his skin and fall over as Tetra laughed like an intoxicated hyena and tried to keep her balance.
She stood leaning over the railing, her sandaled feet sticking out over the sea through the bars, just a few feet away to his right, her blond hair up in a gravity defying danish high on her head, "You are WAY too easy to surprise! How DID you survive that trying time? I'm surprised you weren't eaten by something hiding in the bushes."
"Uh huh, good morning to you too, Tetra. How do you do that?" Link responded, rubbing the back of his head and feeling a small blow to his pride that Tetra was able to sneak up on him without being noticed...
"It's pretty easy to creep up on someone who isn't really there..." Tetra smiled mischieviously.
"What do you mean not really-oh..." Understanding hit and he fell silent
"Well," Tetra continued, "What are you thinking about Link? Where have you gone this fine moring?" She took her feet out of the railing and put her chin in her hand, arm on the rail, "If you don't want to tell me that's okay too."
Link folded his arms and rested his head on their green sleeves, "Aw, it's okay. Nowhere really. I was just remembering the King...and what we set out to do." He squinted his eyes against the risen orange sun.
"To answer your un-uttered question, yes, I think we can do it. And we won't give up until we've scoured every inch of the ocean!" To Link's surprise she leapt onto the railing and yelled out to the sea, "HEAR THAT FUTURE HOMELAND? YOU CAN'T HIDE!" Then Tetra turned to him again and winked, "Happy now?"
Link stared for a moment in amazement, then broke into a joyful fits of laughter, "Good enough! Let's wake the others and get going..."
Still standing on the rail, Tetra pointed to herself and said, "Hey! I'm still the captain of this ship, and I say when we should wake the others."
"Fine then, when?"
Tetra thought for a moment and then responded, "Now."
"Okay," Link the Wind Waker, Hero to Many, grinned and ran to the ships giant gong. Tetra watched with satisfaction as he swung the big stick and some of her men nearly tumbled out of the crow's nest.
"Oh, and Link..."
Link set down the big stick and looked over, "Yeah?"
"I meant what I said earlier."
"I know you did, and I thankyou," Link was ready to jump down into his own boat when Tetra stopped him.
"No no, not that," her red bandana whipped around in the growing Western wind, "I meant the 'Red skies in the morning, sailor's warning' part. We're going to have one heck of a storm soon and I want you to be careful, okay?"
Link smiled a little, touched by Tetra's concerne and taken aback at the same time, "I will I will, don't you worry." He jumped down into his own little boat and prepared the sail.
Tetra leaned over and yelled, "But I meant what I said about finding a new land too!"
The two children readied their ships and prepared to set out for another day of seeking the land of their dreams.
TO BE CONTINUED...tell me what you think! ^_^
