Sorry for the shortness….I'm in a hurry. Next chapters are about the HARVEST, which means preserving…ect. Plenty of cool stuff. Check out my fanfiction contest!

Link smiled as he saw Zelda flourishing down the grand, stone stairwell, hand sliding on the cold railing, a long, mahogany colored, Victorian styled ball gown, strapless, clutching her thin body. A belt of gold hung loosely at her hips.

Talo, Malo, and Beth gasped in their seats, but Link merely grinned in his amusement of seeing Zelda so happy.

Behind her stood the reason for happiness. A man, sleek black hair in handsome spikes, eyes so dark that they could be black. His skin was light gray, unnatural and odd, but almost jewel like. He stood inches above Zelda, unusually thin. The formal blue suit he wore complimented his flashing white smile.

Link stood from the engraved Teak table, nodding at the man—Zelda's fiancé. "My pleasure to meet you, Sir Land." Link was pleased with himself for sounding so formal.



The man responded in a deep (Jamaican) accented voice, but young sounding. "Call me Vince. The pleasure is mine, Link." He turned to the children, whom were still gasping. Vince smiled warmly, dazzling them further.

Zelda laughed, taking her seat in-between Vince and Link. "The food shall be

ready and out any moment. My chef takes extra long, though our ingredients are fresh…we buy them from local hunters, whom personally work for our kitchen. If I do say so myself, I am very proud of our kitchen team." Sighing, she smiled at Beth, whom sat across from her. "Beth, Talo, and Malo." She cleared her throat. "My guards have put a pouch of gifts on Epona, all for you. There are two other gifts, one for Colin…oh, and one for Ilia. Make sure that they get them."

Minutes later, as they chatted mainly above Link's adventures, and the final battles (Zelda wisely left out Midna in any stories), the food arrived. From what Link could see, it was a very formal and rich dinner.

Backstrip soaked in rabbit's tangy gravy, taro rot dumplings, yam steamed in melted sugarcane, green tea soup, chilled cucumber soup, and grappa.



The kids ate something they had never had the delight of tasting—sweet potatoes soaked in sugarcane, in which they did in fact delight upon eating every morsel.

After several hours of eating and drinking the grand dinner to its scraps, Vince sighed and stood up. He kissed Zelda's hand, and nodded at the kids and Link. "Kids, thank you for the honor of dining with you. Link—what a pleasure to meet you. I must be up before dawn, so goodnight."

Zelda casually smirked at Link. "I shall not keep you from heading home. I assume your village must be waiting. Beth's cast will hold until her ankle does in fact heal. Send my graceful apologizes to her parents. Be safe."

))))))))))))))((((((((((((((((((

Link sighed in distaste as they rode past Ordon spring, swiftly, as the moon glowed overhead. "I'm hanging onto your gifts until I talk to your parents. You are so in trouble…I hope you all get scolded something awful!"

The kids groaned softly as they rode into Ordon, the scent of autumn blowing onto them gracefully. Link scrunched his nose in displeasure. It would be harvest soon…very soon. And he 

could only hope that it would be over quick, and that whatever 'project' Ilia had spoken of, would not require his help.

Hehe, thanks for reading this short chapter, guys!
