I don't own Legend of Zelda. If I did the games would tie in together better and there would be a few different ones added in.
Chapter Ten: Day at the Beach
Link:12 Romani:12 Cremia:19
Link and Romani left for Great Bay right after breakfast, riding Epona to get there. The trip only took a little less than an hour an a half. Romani was excited the whole time, eager to see the sea for the first time in about six years and even more eager to swim in it.
When they got there, they dismounted and took a moment to appreciate the view. The wind smelled salty and the waves splashed gently. Off in the distance you could see the Great Bay temple and the marine researcher's lab. It was everything the ranch girl had hoped for. There was no one else there, but that just meant they had the whole place to themselves. Romani liked the idea.
Link took off his equipment and shirt, but not his hat, and placed them near Epona, who was laying in the shade of one of the umbrellas. He grabbed Romani's hand and tried to pull her towards the water. "C'mon. We didn't come here just to look."
"Umm... could you turn away for a moment?" Romani asked like she was embarrassed.
Link obeyed and turned his gaze away from her. He then heard cloth being ruffled. It was obvious she was getting out of her clothes since her swimsuit was underneath. No wonder she was embarrassed and shy.
When Link was allowed to see her, he made a silent gasp. She had a normal body for a 12 year-old girl beginning to mature, but he thought he was incredibly cute, even beautiful. And while he was admiring her, she was doing the same to him.
After they snapped themselves out of their little stare-fest, both waded into the shallow part of the water. Link supported Romani until she got the hang of floating on her back. It was hard since she was ticklish and he had to ensure his hands stayed in 'safe zones'. Then he helped her float on her stomach and guided her as she tried to move thru the water. By noon, Romani had at least managed to do a successful dog paddle swim on her own and was proud of herself.
A while later, the two preteens got out of the water and laid on one of the many beach towels to relax and get some shade. They each had gotten a bit of a tan by now. "I wonder why no one else is here." Romani thought out loud. "Not that I'm complaining."
"Maybe they're afraid of the Gerudo." Link suggested.
"Not me. Not while you're here." Romani replied.
"You should be afraid." A strange woman's voice called out and something came flying at them. Link instinctively back-jumped out of the way. Romani wasn't as quick and got caught in what turned out to be a net.
Link grabbed his gilded sword and was about to cut the net open, but it was pulled back to the person who threw it, with Romani still in it. Link saw five Gerudo pirates, four looking like the double-sword wielders he had faced before and the fifth looking like a captain.
"You let her go, bitch!" Link shouted as Romani pleaded for help.
"Fat chance green boy." The captain Gerudo said back. "We haven't forgotten what you did to us two years ago. If you want her, come get her." Then the five Gerudo disappeared taking Romani with them in a flash of light.
Link growled, then dressed and equipped himself. He then told Epona to go back to the field and stay there so she wouldn't get taken too. It was unlikely the young colt understood, but she seemed to do it anyway. Link quickly put on the zora's mask, became a zora, and dove into the water.
