Desert Night

Disclaimer: I don't own them; I just want to play for a while. Really. Why are you looking at me like that?
Link and Nabooru walk out of the Temple and into the Castle Town Market. Link turns to go up to the castle, but Nabooru hesitates.
"Umm. Link? I don't think I can go up there."
"Huh? Why not? .Oh, right. But I need to talk to Zelda."
"You go up, I'll meet you here."
"Sounds OK to me."
As Link walks up to the castle, Nabooru walks up to the café. The waitress doesn't seem to be too happy to be waiting on a Gerudo. Nabooru just sighs.
"Look, if it will make you feel better, I'll pay in advance and order for takeout."
The waitress just sighs, and comes over and takes her order. Nabooru hands her a purple rupee, and gets her food. She goes back to the road that Link left on, and waited there. When Link comes back, she is only halfway through her food. Link looks at her for a moment, then at what she is eating. In the carton are about 6 Cucco-strips (think Chicken strips, those are good!). He makes a face at her.
"How can you eat that stuff?" Being raised in the forest, he is naturally a vegetarian. Nabooru just smirks. (she does that a lot, doesn't she?^_^).
"Let's see. first you pick it up, and put it in your mouth. Then you chew on it, and finally swallow. Any questions?"^_^
Link frowns. "That wasn't what I meant and you know it."
Nabooru just looks at him. "Not everyone is vegetarian."
Link just shrugs it off. "Let's get back to the search."
"Any ideas on where to go Link?"
"Zelda didn't know anything at all, but she said that people have reported seeing a male Sheikah near Zora's Domain."
"That means you have to go see Ruto.^_^"
Link gets pissed. "Care to elaborate on that statement?" he says through gritted teeth.
"Aren't you still engaged to her?"
"NO! She has Zora's Sapphire back, and that breaks the engagement." He is getting really pissed.
Nabooru just laughs. "Touchy are we? I'll be nice." //For now// she adds in her mind.
"Let's go."
They head down Zora's River. On the way, they meet a very familiar female Zora. It's (gasp) Ruto!!
"LLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKK!!!" She yells!! She runs over to Link and gives him a big hug.
"Ruto!!" Link cries. "Do you mind?!"
"Sorry Link. I am just soo happy to see you!!"
While this is happening, Nabooru is trying soooo hard not to laugh. Ruto and Link both turn to see her face turning red.
"Nabs?" Ruto starts. Nabooru makes like she is choking and motions for water. Link takes out a bottle and fills it with water, then gives it to her. She drinks it, and calms down enough to face them.
"Sorry about that." Nabooru says.
"It's OK Nabs." Ruto can't call anyone but Link by his or her real name; it is always shortened or some weird nickname. Nabooru gave up long ago trying to get Ruto to say her full name.
"By the way, Link? Why are you here? If you want a date you will have to wait for me to get ready!" Ruto is so thick.
"Actually, I heard a male Sheikah was seen near here, and I wanted to see if it was a certain."
"YOU MEAN SHEIK!!" Ruto cries. "He was here a few days ago. You know, I still haven't given him proper thanks for saving me from the ice cavern."
"Sheik's here!!" Link says. Nabooru can see the happy look on his face. But Ruto's smile falls.
"Sorry Link, he left already."
Link drops to his knees, and looks like he is going to cry. Nabooru comes over to him.
"Link?" she says softly.
"So close." Link seems like he is in a trance.
Ruto comes up on the other side of Link. "I'm sorry. If I had known you were coming, I would have asked him to stay."
Link doesn't even look up. Nabooru gets an idea.
"Link, you can't let this one setback stop you." Link looks up at her. "We can still find him. I won't let you give up."
"You're right. I can't give up now." He stands up and turns to Ruto. "If you do see him again, will you tell him I am looking for him?"
Ruto seems a little hushed. "Alright. But if I do this, will you take me out on a date when this is over?"
Nabooru sighs. Ruto never gives up. Though you have to wonder sometimes if that is good or bad.
Link looks like he is admitting defeat. "Fine. I'll take you out on ONE date."
Ruto is really happy. She waves to them as they head back to Hyrule Field.
