Their first camp was far north of Link and Spencer's Cabin. When Link and Spencer had traveled south, Link ran as fast as he could for twenty hours a day. It took five days for him to be satisfied with where he was. Spencer estimated that it would ten days to get back, seeing as how they are going to have proper sleep and won't be running.

"Why don't you walk like the rest of us Midna?" Link asked. She looked at him from across the camp fire. "Wouldn't you ride a person's shadow instead? Besides, my legs are a lot shorter than yours. It would take a lot of energy to keep up with you guys. Your walk is my run." Midna explained. "Well, you could at least float with us" Link said, "I like to have your company." Midna smiled. She got up to walk around the fire to sit beside him. "Ok, fine. Fresh air can't do me any bad either." She said, "Where is goof ball anyway?" "Spencer decided to go forage some dinner" Link said, "and you shouldn't be so rude to him, he is an old friend of mine." "Sorry" Midna said. She leaned her head on Link's shoulder. "Link... I..." "Hey, guys! I found some pretty nice berries to eat, and a rabbit!" Spencer interrupted them. Briefly Link thought: 'Spencer: Moment Breaker.' Spencer stopped. "Was I interrupting something?" "Um, no, not at all." Midna said. She sat back up. She wanted to kick him in the teeth, because that's what she just felt he did to her.

"How do you even know those berries aren't poisonous?" She asked, in the best tone she could muster, despite her mood. "I've eaten strawberries before, y'know." Spencer replied. "Then why didn't you tell us that in the first place?" Link asked. "I thought you'd trust me." Spencer said, as he plopped one into his mouth. He split the rest of the berries into three groups and passed two to Link and Midna. Then he took the fur off the rabbit and set it over the fire. In a few minutes they had meat to go with their berries. "Not bad, eh? Didn't even have to get into the food sacks tonight!" Spencer boasted. He lay back and looked up at the stars. He remembered being surprised the first night he looked at the Hylian sky to see it had the same constellations as earth. Link lay back as well, and Midna Law beside him. They almost dosed off on the soft grass Link thought he heard something. He sat up, even in his human form he still had somewhat heightened senses.

"What is it?" Midna asked. "I think someone's watching us. Just a moment." Link picked up his Ordon sword and shield and left ot investigate what he thought was bokoblin chatter, leaving Midna and Link alone. They lay there in an awkward silence, Midna trying to ignore Spencer, Spencer trying to think up something to say. "I did interrupt you, didn't I?" He asked. Midna sat up and looked at him. "Why do you think that?" She asked. "Come on, It's plain as day that you love him." Spencer said. Midna was shocked. How did this human know? How could he be aware of such things? "What makes you say that?" She asked. "Well, you gotta remember, I know of everything that happened from before you met Link to the scene in the Mirror Chamber, and I didn't exactly say something as soon as I walked back into the camp. I saw you leaning your head against him. It's painfully obvious to me." Spencer said. "Fine. Just don't tell him, ok?" Midna said, "I want to when I'm ready." "He loves you too, you know." Spencer sighed, "but I'll wait until you tell him or he tells you."

Midna lay back on the grass, her mind pondering over what she just heard. She wasn't entirely sure Spencer wasn't lying, but he hadn't shown any signs of it. What he did know was that she loved Link, and at least she didn't have to keep it hidden from him anymore.

Link walked back into camp, and could have sworn he heard the gears of someone's mind grinding away. "What was it?" Spencer asked. "It was just what I thought. Bokoblins were planning on attacking us in our sleep. They didn't pose a challenge to me, anyway. I'll take first watch tonight, just in case they weren't the only Bokoblin's in the area."

--

In the morning, they broke camp and head north again. Spencer could tell Midna was still thinking about what he said last night, but he wasn't sure exactly what Link was thinking about. Whatever it was, he seemed to be deep in thought. So deep, it seemed, that he didn't hear what Spencer did. Spencer drew his sword. The sound of the sword coming out of the sheath snapped Link back his senses. "What is it?" He asked. "Can't you hear it?" Spencer asked, "Bokoblins are approaching." Despite not being able to hear it, Link drew his sword and looked around. He didn't see anything. Midna couldn't see anything either, but what she did notice was the Triforce on Spencer's shirt glowing.

First the whole Triforce would glow, then fade, but then only the upside down triangle in middle would glow, but brighter, then fade. This puzzled Midna, but she barely had any time to think about it because it was at that moment that Link shouted. "There they are!" He ran ahead, with Spencer and Midna following close behind. They came to a clearing, a group of three bokoblins where running at them. Once the bokoblins saw Spencer and Midna come out into hte clearing, they knew they could not win and ran.

"I'm glad that was settled without bloodshed." Link said. "Don't be so sure," Spencer said, "they probably just went back to whatever base they have and are getting backup. We should be on the lookout, and keep traveling. If we get ambushed, I don't know if we could hold off a large group of them." "Good point." Link said, "They ran south, so if we just continue north we should be fine."

--

That night, they set up camp in a clearing far north of of where they lost the bokoblins. Midna brought out what food she had stored. "Are bread and cheese the only things you guys ever eat?" She asked. "Well, you decided to visit us at a bad time" Link chuckled. "Bread and cheese is the last thing we have before we go out to get some more supplies." "Speaking of which, where do you go to get your supplies?" Midna asked. "There is a small village west of our cabin." Link said. "Where is Spencer anyways?" Midna asked. Link looked around and didn't see him. "He probably wandered off to get us some water." Link said.

Midna bit her lip. 'Is now a good time?' she asked herself. She turned to Link. "Link... I've been wanting to say something ever since I left." She put her hand on his shoulder, "I need to let you know something..." "Whatever it is, you can tell me." Link replied. This comforted Midna. She was about to speak when she saw Spencer walk into camp, sit down across the campfire, and he gave her a look that said 'Go on.' She took her hand off Link's shoulder. "I wanted to apologize for being mean to you early on in our quest." Spencer gave her a disappointed look, then walked off to his pile of sheets that served as a bed. Midna wanted to berate him as loud as she could. Why does he have the uncanny ability to return at the most awful times!? Link walked off to his pile of sheets, and Midna took first watch.

Spencer was in the Temple of Time, walking up to the plaque that held three colorful stones. The stone door to the Inner chamber was open, and he walked in.

The room was filled with a thick golden mist, but for some reason he could see through it as if it were air. In the center of the room stood Midna in her true form. "Midna, what are you doing here? How did you break the curse?" Spencer asked. His voice echoed all around the room, but no reply came from Midna. Instead, her eyes clouded over and she fell forward, with two arrows in her back.

Spencer looked up and saw two bokoblins standing there, watching him. He tried to run, but he couldn't move his legs. He watched in horror as the bokoblins notched arrows and fired at him.

--

Spencer woke with a sharp gasp. He startled Midna, who was still on first watch. She turned to look at him. "Spencer... look at your shirt." She said. Spencer looked down and saw the upside-down triangle in the middle of the Triforce fading in and out. He looked up, and saw two bokoblin archers behind Midna. "Midna, look out!" He dived and knocked her over, arrows, just missing them. She got up and was about to hit him when she saw the bokoblin archers. She turned into a shadow just in time to dodge the next two arrows.

After Spencer had tackled Midna, he quickly got up and withdrew his sword from his sheath, just after the fired their second shots at Midna, he impaled one on his sword. The other one ran away as Spencer shoved the bokoblin off his blade with his foot. "He'll be back." Spencer said. He wiped his blade on the grass.

--

"Thanks for tackling me earlier. I'm not sure if I would have survived two arrows at once." Midna said. It was the morning, and the group were eating a breakfast of bread, cheese, and strawberries. "Yeah, I'm glad I saw them, too." Spencer replied. He looked at Link, who had turned a pale shade of green. He must have felt sickened to the stomach that when Midna was in danger, he slept through the whole thing.

"I'm going to see if I can find their camp" Spencer said, "If I do do find it, I'll come right back and tell you, ok?" "Sure, go for it. Just don't do anything stupid." Link replied. Spencer ran off into the woods.

Midna sat down beside Link. "Link... I need to tell you something." She said. "Yes?" He asked. "I've been meaning to tell you this since we traveled to the Mirror chamber after you defeated Ganondorf." She said. She was unsure where to go from here. She put her hand on his cheek. "Link... I love you."

Link's eyes widened, and the green vanished from his face. "Midna, I love you too!" He pulled her in and kissed her.

"Freaking finally!" both Link and Midna jumped, and looked where the voice came from. Spencer was leaning on a tree, on the fringe of the clearing. "I can't believe you actually thought I'd just get up and decide to hunt Bokoblins! As if!" He walked over and sat by them. They both blushed. "You mean you never left?" Link asked. "Well, for a bit I did" Spencer said, "But then I turned right around and hid behind a tree. I had to let you guys get some time alone, the last two times I left you alone she was trying to tell you, I can't believe you didn't see that! This time I deliberately left you two alone long enough." Link got up, Midna still in his arms. "Well, I'm glad that's over with! It was tearing me apart seeing you two hide your feelings!" Spencer berated them.

--

In half an hour, they broke camp and were off again. A pair of Bokoblin eyes watched them from the other side of the clearing.
