"Mr. Linnnnnkk!"
Not him again… Link groaned as he stretched in his small bed. Hadn't he just fallen asleep? He propped his self up and looked out the window where he was greeted by the always over animated mail man. He nodded at the man letting him now he would be down in a moment and rolled back over. It couldn't have been more than two hours since he had rested his head. He groaned once more as he stood, stretching his aching muscles as he made his way to the ladder. He didn't bother with a shirt; for he was planning on going back to bed as soon as possible. He made his way down the ladder and to the front door. He opened the door and nodded once more at the man.
"Good morning Mr. Link!"
Link grunted an exchange of words and let his eyes travel to the man's mail sack.
"I have a letter for you, two in fact!"
Link extended his hand as the man made a sound of triumph while handing him the letters. After placing them in Link's hand, the man said his goodbyes and ran off toward Ordon village.
Link looked down at the letters, feeling the rough parchment in his hands. Right now he wasn't too thrilled about reading either one of them, all he wanted to do was go back to sleep for a little longer. He walked back into his house and placed both letters on the small wooden table. He headed toward the ladder and soon found his way back into his comfortable bed.

"He's not been himself"
"I don't except he would be, do you?"
Midna's words came off harsher than she intended, but she didn't care. She knew what she had done and there was nothing she could do about it. She brushed a stray piece of orange hair from her eyes and sighed. Life was different now, she was no longer an imp…. Well she was happy about that one.
And….
She no longer had Link.
Life was different without him. She had spent a year of her life trapped in a different body and with a different kind of companion. Finding Link was unintentional, and at first it had worked to her advantage. She had wanted nothing to do with him except use him for her personal benefit. It wasn't that she disliked Link… it was the mere fact that he was a resident of the light world. A world she had disliked for many years…. A world that had inhabited….
Ganon
She shuddered visibly at the thought of that wretched man, causing a look of inquiry from the woman sitting across from her. Midna met her eyes again; her attendant, and closest of friends.
Fara, her attendant had given her opinion on the situation with Link. She understood Midna's constant torture on herself for not explaining the entire situation to Link before she left. Midna sighed; she feared she would never see that guy…. She stopped herself; she feared she would never see Link again. She had constantly picked on him, but he had seemed not to mind. Her constant chattiness and sassy sense of humor had gotten to the silent ranch hand. Link had spoken no more than three words on their entire journey…. But she knew him.
She had been by his side when he was in pain beyond belief, sitting next to him when he needed a companion…needed a friend really. They had gone through so much together in just a year's time, all in while becoming closer as friends… and as something else. Midna never saw it really until the day she had used just a fraction of her power to break the barrier on Hyrule castle. The intense weight of her ancestor's power had caused her to black out. When she awoke, she was in the cradle of Link's warm arms. He was starring at her with an intense glare, his eyes full of worry and something that Midna hadn't been able to recognize at the time. He presented a wordless smile when she locked eyes with him, letting him know she would be okay. Both had looked away at the same time and looked upon to their destiny…. To save Hyrule.
She knew she lov…cared about him, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to voice her feelings. When Ganon had been defeated, she had returned to her true form as the Twilight Princess. She remembered laying there on the grassy plains of Hyrule, the sound of running footsteps behind her.
Link…
He had run to her as she was beginning to stand. He approached her slowly as he saw her rise to her full height.
She turned slowly, not sure how his reaction to her non- imp like form would be. The goddess seemed to be on her side as a sliver of sunlight cast a small glow around her as she turned to face him.
She nearly laughed when she had seen his reaction. His eyes seemed to bulge slightly and a look of confusion and awe crossed his handsome features.
She had suddenly felt nervous under his gaze and had asked him to say something. He continued his intense stare until she smiled lightly, knowing it must be a sort of shock to see her in a totally different form. She had tilted her head and given him a sassy look when she asked him "Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"
She could see Link thinking and then he smiled. It was not always on occasion when Link smiled, but when he did…. She sighed, it lit up her heart.
She wished she could tell him how much she wanted to see him… but there was no way.
She turned to Fara, her attendants' eyes boring holes into her. She would have to explain herself to Fara, but she wasn't even sure if she could explain it to herself.
