I will be blunt, this is a boring chapter to me... it... well... it like an interlude, an excuse for skipping to the next chapter, which I am writing more eagerly.

Now, unlike the Rareen part, the rest is all unnecessary in comparison to the rest of the story. If anything, it is a discription of what happens to Cheryl and Xavier and Tommy in Malavar. If this was a movie, it would be deleted, and added to the 'deleted scenes' section of the DVD.

Either way...

Enjoy!

Rareen woke groggily, completely unclothed too, in the tavern.

The door was still locked, but John, the dream man, appeared to only have been a dream after all.

Rareen's clothes were where she had left them that night, and her head ached terribly.

The room was a mess, her mug of ale still on the table half drunken.

"Ohh… my head…" Rareen grabbed her head and moaned as she turned herself over and got up.

"He must have left…" Rareen grumbled, wishing she could remember when the touch of his skin last left her.

"What a fun night…" She smirked, realizing she was talking to no one.

She stood up, and then fell down, still feeling intoxicated.

"Ooh… that's going to be a nightmare flying home… maybe I should rest up a bit… Saria and Link will… will probably be trying to sleep with each other… unghhh…" Rareen got up again, and was pushed back onto the bed by a sense of dizziness.

"Will be acting like mature and responsible adults, letting me act like a kid for once, and sleep in. Humph!" Rareen sighed in defiance to her motherly side and crawled her way back into bed, using her sense of feeling more than her eyes, which were blinded by the dim light coming from the small, tinted window from the ceiling, at ground level.

Moaning and holding her head, she pulled the covers over her lower back so her wings weren't being touched, and began to cry, realizing that John had left her already.

"Well…" She sniffled, "he was good while he lasted… I doubt I'll ever see that marvelous man again…" She gulped, and clenched her pillow, burying her face inside it as she cried.

"Why couldn't he have stayed? I doubt he'll even come to that date we organized… Why did he have to be so perfect in body? It makes his mind all the more worse to me… Reckless, rambunctious, and rushing, always moving to the next one… ungh… why? Why? Why?"

Rareen began to moan pointlessly at her foolish mistake to sleep with that man in the first place.

A few minutes later, she was asleep in a partial hangover state.

Link and Saria were also slow to get up. They didn't see a rush; their main job, farming, was not going to happen, and they had already gone out into the snow.

Besides, they already had food problems, and their stocked food wasn't doing well with the cold, so if they could only eat two meals a day, and sleep the third one off, then they might be able to save food.

"Link… what time is it?"

"Does it matter?"

"I guess you're right…" Saria sighed as she kissed Link tenderly.

Saria had known it since she got up, Link and her were still at a negative distance from being apart, in more ways than one. (A/N: It goes against all laws of matter... Two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time. I wonder what I meant by this... hmm... sarcastically)

"Do you want to get up though?" Link asked kindly, starting to move about, making Saria aware even further to how close she was to him.

"Hmm…" Saria wasn't thinking, just making noise.

"Hmm?"

"Hmm." Saria responded jokingly.

She got Link to laugh, and that was good enough for her. As the melodious notes ceased to echo, his hands wrapped around her gently, and he began to rock side to side, with her on him.

"Do you think you had your period yet?"

"No. I'm sure of it. You may even have been able to feel it, I'm not exactly sure… but even if you couldn't feel it, you'd see it as a lot of blood on the bed."

"Speaking of which… we have to clean it up again… Goddesses know what Rareen would do if she saw the messy blankets and sheets."

"Goddesses know what Rareen would do if she saw us now."

"Then it is time to get out?"

Saria sighed, defeated.

"It appears so… she should already be here…"

"It doesn't seem that she is…"

Saria listened hard, but couldn't hear anything in the house.

"Yeah, you're right… But still… what if she just came out of nowhere… and saw us like this?"

"Why must doing this be considered breaking the rules? Should we just tell Rareen, and ignore the consequences and her useless babbling?"

Saria thought about what Link just said. Consequences? Does that mean… does that mean he thinks a child would be a consequence? Should I tell him at all? What if he hates me for it for some reason? What if he blames me for having a kid? What if he will hate the kid? Can Link even hate something about me? Ooh… I don't think I should tell him yet…

"I'm not sure… maybe later, a few months maybe? Or maybe just when the time is right?"

"I guess so… I'm not as sure about you, but I don't want to have to hide this magnitude of affection any longer. I love you, and I love you a lot more than anyone thinks I do, and I want to tell them how much…"

"So wait, you'd want to do this in public?!" Saria looked alarmed.

"Good heavens no! Oh my gosh Saria, that's like… against the law! But I want to be able to say that we do stuff like this, and not lie and say that kissing and hugging is the extent of our relationship… I don't want to hide…" Saria wasn't used to seeing Link so emotional.

"I know… maybe later though… not yet… I'm not ready to endure the 'Rareen' quite yet. And no amount of training could prepare you for such a beast." Saria teased, not letting Link out of her yet.

"Saria? What happened to 'It appears so…'? Gone with the wind?"

"Stalled in thought. Just a little more…" Saria cooed, kissing and licking Link's face gently.

"Foxy…" Link admired, returning the favor to Saria.

"Handsome…" Saria said in return.

"Alluring." Another lick.

"Strong." And another.

"Charming." Yet another.

"Sensational." And again.

"Pure." And again.

"Don't let go of me ever Link…" Saria clung to Link and wrapped her legs around his tightly.

"I never had such an intension." Link pulled her even closer.

Again, the phrase left their lips in unison.

"I love you."

Cheryl and Xavier had just made it to Cheryl's house.

As they passed through the familiar woods that Cheryl grew up in, a pit of nostalgia entered Cheryl's stomach.

I wonder how they reacted when I vanished. Hmm… I'd bet they missed me terribly… But even after our fight? I hope they'd forgotten as much as I did.

Cheryl had gotten in a fight with her parents before she was kidnapped. This fight got her angry, and she left her house very frustrated, then, she was hit in the head with a club of sorts, and she woke up in a slave coach, the slave coach that brought her to Randall.

"Xavier, get up, we're there."

"Already?"

"It has been a few hours honey."

"Oh…" Xavier got up quickly, and held Tommy in his arms as he continued to wake up.

"I used to climb these trees for fun… and my younger brother would always tease me when I fell down…" Cheryl laughed, she remember these times well still.

She stopped the coach near the house.

It was a small, one story building in the middle of nowhere, with a small outhouse away from the main house, and it had a faint, blue paintjob to it.

"Home sweet home…" Cheryl muttered as she got out of the coach and took Tommy from Xavier.

Cheryl approached the front door and knocked on it.

A tall man, about 20, with short brown hair and a faint stubble on his face opened the door.

"Hello? May I ask…" The man questioned her and then looked into her eyes, "Cher?"

"Hey Matt."

"Cheryl! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" The man hugged Cheryl tightly, and then broke off to look her over again. "By the goddesses it is you! Where've you been? Mom! Dad! Get over here! We have a visitor!"

"Xavier, my brother Matthew."

"Ok… Matt…" Xavier didn't want to mess any names up.

"Who is it Matt?" A woman with long, graying hair came into view.

"Mommy!" Cheryl yelped like a girl and handed Xavier the child in her arms, then ran off to hug her mother.

"Cheryl? Where've you been these… seven years?"

"I'll tell once everyone is ready for it." Cheryl said as another man came into view.

"Is that my little Cherbear?" The man asked, massive by most accounts, he made Xavier feel like a shrimp. (A/N: Why do you think Cheryl was against being called 'Cherbear' by Xavier? She's daddy's little girl... lol...)

"Daddy!" Cheryl gleefully jumped into a hug with the man, also with graying hair.

"I missed you so much…"

"Ok, and do we have anyone else in the family?"

No one answered, the family just surrounded Cheryl and hugged her tightly.

"I'll take that as a no then? You've all changed so much… except for dad… you still are the burly guy I remember."

"Oh Cheryl… you had us all worried sick. We thought you were dead!" Matt said through tears.

"Oh yes… and mom… I am sorry about the window… I didn't mean to break it… it was just hormones and my period working for me." Cheryl joked about the fight she left on. (A/N: She was angry about having to do chores, and threw a rolling pin at the window, shattering it, and then fumed outside. And then, well, you know the rest.)

This only increased the hug, but Cheryl was ready to leave the embrace.

"Now, family, meet Xavier. Xavier," Cheryl pointed to the family who let her go, "Mom, dad, and Matt. Or collectively, the Rose family."

"Your last name is Rose? You never told me that." Xavier said curiously.

"And who are you sir?" Cheryl's dad held out a hand and a curious gaze to Xavier, standing a good foot underneath him.

"Well… maybe it is best if Cheryl explains it…" Xavier said in his alto voice.

"And who is that little baby?"

"That's Tommy." Cheryl replied instantly.

"Cheryl… is that… yours?"

"Yes. He is ours." She corrected.

"You mean… Xavier and you…"

"Yes. It is a long, lnog story."

"Oh my gosh! Virgin Cheryl has a baby! Ha!" Matt teased.

Xavier shot Cheryl a funny look.

"I always boasted of being a virgin, and planning on being a virgin for the rest of my life, even before Randall."

"Randall?" Her mom asked. "You don't mean… Randall Tyson, do you?"

"The same…"

"HE TOOK YOU!?" Cheryl's dad roared.

"Yes dad. After I ran away, I was kidnapped and taken to Randall."

"And he sold you to Xavier and you had a kid?" Her dad glared at Xavier.

"Why me?" Xavier sighed while looking upwards to the three figures laughing in the heavens above. (A/N: Poor Xavier... he just CAN'T get a break...)

"No no no. Randall took me in as his personal love slave. I had to be with him all of the time."

"What did he do to you?"

"I had to sleep with him and give him some form of sexual pleasure at least three times a day, every day."

"My heavens…" Her mother sighed wide eyed.

"But sometimes he brought that number to four. I was lucky not to have gotten pregnant then."

"I would beat the snot out of that Randall wimp if I could."

"HE's dead dad. A crazy philanthropist, a zaney dude who raided Randall's mansion and destroyed it, killed him."

"No, we still get reports of him stealing innocent girls and women throughout the countryside. Maybe you hear wrong."

"I was in the wreckage that killed him. The philanthropist also got me out of there too. I know he is dead. Maybe just pranks?"

"No, I know he is alive. I've even seen his guardsman… Arthur, or whatever, dressed in a full suit of armor, running around in a dark coach, pulled by six black horses, capturing people around here." Her dad replied.

"Impossible…"

"But how did you meet Xavier?"

"I was curious, when he ventured into the mansion with a young boy, Link, and wanted to see who he was."

"Peeping Tom… figures…"

Xavier looked up again, asking the same 'why me' to the goddesses. (A/N: This is becoming a running gag. It was too hard NOT to do this to him.)

"No! Xavier was helping Link trying to find a girl, Saria, the girl who Randall tried to get me to apprentice to be his personal love slave."

"So he wasn't a Peeping Tom?"

"I doubt he had any idea what was in the building when he entered. Link, Saria, and Xavier are all Hylians from Hyrule."

Xavier ran his finger across his long, pointed ears to prove the point.

"No, I had no idea I'd meet a beautiful girl in that building." Xavier confessed, only to get more glares from the family.

"Well, then, me being curious, found him in a room, hiding from Arthur, who he thought he was being chased by. When I first saw him, well, I remembered him from a strange dream I had had…"

"You dreamt about me? You never told me that…"

"Yeah, I dreamt the entire coming of you and XT."

"Who's XT?" Matt asked curiously.

"A strange philanthropist, the one I've been mentioning…"

"Oh." And then he muttered, "Weird name..."

"Well, after Xavier and I met, he had to leave. I told him to save the other slaves first. I felt like I didn't deserve to be saved."

"What? Why? You deserve it more than anyone." Her father interrupted.

"No, not really… I chose to be with Randall than be sold. I got to live a life of privilege with Randall, getting a bathroom, food, and a warm bed, always shared with him."

"YOU WHAT?" Everyone roared.

"It was better than getting possibly matched up with a man who would abuse me and not feed me anything, like what Randall did to the poor girls in the basement of his house."

"Oh my gosh…" Cheryl's mother looked scared at this point.

"But he did abuse me. Ever since Randall happened to me, I've been a near sex-addict. It… well… got me into some awkward moments later…"

"Oh yeah… the party…" Xavier smiled in remembrance.

"What party?" Matt was curious.

"Oh… um… XT held a party afterwards just for fun, and much of the people in Hyrule ended up coming. At some point in that… We slipped away, and found a shack…"

"You didn't…" Matt was wide-eyed.

"Let's see, she nearly forced me to. And I remember her telling me literally everything on what to do." Xavier set a twisted smile on his face.

"Why did she teach you?"

"Well… I was a virgin, to everyone's disbelief."

"Why is that a shocker?"

"I was accused of molesting a girl, I only tripped while trying to tell her I had feelings for her."

"And felt her up ni the process." Cheryl snickered.

"Shut up!" Xavier looked hopeless, "I simply raised my hands up to cushion my fall."

"And you sure got a cushion." More snickers.

"Your daughter is abusing me…" Xavier closed his eyes and sighed.

"She's always been a bit of a firecracker." Cheryl's dad chuckled.

"And well, after the party, I moved in with Xavier, completely entranced by him, and forgot much about Malavar… I mean, I could only remember Randall when I thought of home, and that bump on my head didn't help… so… it wasn't until it started snowing there that I remembered our trip up north, and remembered Matting hitting that tree on his rinky-dinky pair of skis. That is when I started to remember everything here again. I missed you all so much…"

"That and her period was getting her a bit emotional." Xavier bluntly stated.

"Yeah, that had something to do with it."

"So are you back to stay?" Cheryl's dad asked curiously.

"I'm afraid not… We do have other people living in our house, and well… we need to work the farm there to make a living."

"Who else is living with you?" Matt looked at Cheryl with curious eyes.

"Link and Saria, and their guardian fairy Rareen."

"Fairy? How hard did you hit your head? There are no fairies in Malavar."

"There are in Hyrule, and lots of them. More in wooded areas. But Rareen is a bit special, she can get big if she chooses too."

"Weird…"

"So are you two married yet?" Matt asked.

"No, but we haven't found the time. I mean… we're always so busy with things, raising Tommy, growing food for money and food, and feeding Link and Saria who aren't able to live on their own yet. Which, they may never get to because we need them as much as they need us." Xavier stated.

"So, do you guys need any help or anything?"

"No not really." Cheryl's response was immediate. She did not want to have to rely on her parents.

"Ok then…" Her father said carefully, not wanting to lose his long lost daughter's trust.

"Could we get you something to eat? Have a family dinner, now complete for the first time in a long time?"

"With an extension to the family?" Cheryl suggested, nudging her head to Xavier and Tommy.

"Sure. We've got the room in the dining room." Cheryl's mom replied happily wandering off to set the table.

"Good to be home…" Cheryl sighed as she, Xavier, and Tommy sat on the couch, talking to Matt and her father about the details about Xavier's past, and the seven years they were apart.

I'm having a withdrawal of sorts... I bet a few of you can guess what I'm having a withdrawal of... I'll give you a few hints...

1. I don't do drugs, (well, I have had to take perscription steroids enough to make my face get moon-shaped...)

2. I just got back from my first date (in my mind at least. And even if it wasn't a date, she enjoyed herself just as much as I did I'm sure.)

3. And for the record, no, I am not obsessed with chocolate. (Well, I take it back, it may be a bit of a chocolate withdrawal...)

Can anyone guess it?

No?

Well then...

More coming soon...
