Saria followed Link to the bottom of the tower and got on Epona with him as he set off for Castletown. Link and Saria both started "working" around the same time. Link was Zelda's personal guard, and she normally got up at 9 or 10 AM while Saria had school at 8 AM.

Link dropped her off in the square and rode towards the castle while Saria walked towards the school, it wasn't what she had been expecting. Sure it was nice but the people were something else. She saw a few people who looked like she may get along with and were fairly nice but there were others who looked like troublemakers.

Saria noticed the sign on the arch over the school's main doors, it read; Castletown primary school. She looked at one of the slips of paper on the board just next to the door which read the same thing as well as; ages 11-14. She determined she would be attending classes here for two more years, then moving onto secondary school for ages 15-17, then, if she wanted, to CTU, CastleTown University.

First on her class list was Math, easy enough, she passed that block like it was nothing and nothing interesting happened. Next she had Science, their first unit was going to be biology, centered on ecosystems and biomes, Saria would ace that one. Then there was Social studies, focused on history, she had a problem with that one. She then had a break block, which, being new didn't know what to do and just walked around and got to know the place. Then P.E came...

"Alright class!" yelled Coach Yarl, who was a middle aged man with salt-pepper hair and a stubbly beard the same color. He looked like an ex-hylian soldier, but he wasn't. "Today, we have dodge ball!" Saria had heard of some of the school's activities, but knew nothing about this thing called dodge ball. Coach Yarl rolled out a bunch of leather balls filled with air. (These bounce just like rubber one's, just a bit less and hurt a lot more on impact however) "I don't care who is captain of either team just choose 'em yourself!"

Some big kid who looked like one of the troublemakers laughed a not so friendly laugh and appointed himself the captain of one team, immediately almost half of the class walked over to his side. A few other muscular or good looking people were left but they must have been new as well. A small kid took the other team, he looked a bit geeky. The big kid, Marcus Fruss chose a few of the muscular males to his team, his eyes glanced at Saria and she gulped. He laughed meanly. "Who is this?" he exclaimed "This green haired scrawny girl! HA!"

Saria got mad and Marcus chose someone else, not that Saria cared. She ended up with the geeky guy, Dan Holt and ten other smaller kids along with two other athletic ones, a guy and a girl. Still they were outnumbered by 7... a 13 vs. 20.

"Alright, round one! GO!" yelled Yarl.

No one on Saria's team made a run for the leather balls but waited. Some cowered down to make themselves smaller targets.

One of the athletic kids, the guy inched over to her, he had brown hair and green eyes and tanned skin.

"Hey, I'm William Lars, the girl over there is my twin sister Samantha Lars" he whispered

"Nice to meet you, Saria Koki."

"Back at'cha"

"So what is the point of this... err... game..." she hesitated on the word "Game"

"Avoid getting hit and hit out the other players on the opposing team..."

"Ahh..." Saria sighed "Whoa!" she jumped just as a ball hit where her feet had been a moment ago.

2 minutes in and all but 5 people on Saria's team were out, and only three people on the other team were out.

"F**k" muttered William

"Right..." Saria agreed

She was getting the hang of it, she had dodged everything thrown at her with relative ease and even gotten two hits.

It seemed as though the opposing team was targeting them individually, they all threw their balls at one kid and he had nowhere to run, down to four now. Sam scooped up the balls thrown and handed a few to Saria and William, she looked exactly like her brother, but with girl features.

They each targeted an opponent and got three outs, 4 vs. 16...

Then the last weakling on their team was hit out, but they repeated their moves and scored 5 successive outs.

Then 5 balls slammed into William and he was out. "Damnit!" he said

Saria and Sam were great shots and took three more out 2 vs. 7

They dodged the next barrage and took four more out. 2 vs. 3! A miracle! Or... maybe not...

*Slam*

"OWW!" Sam yelped and Saria was left against Marcus and two other big guys. She had no balls on her side and they all held two each and aimed at her. but there was one thing different about Saria, then any of the others, she was a Kokiri... and Kokiri, are natural agiles.

Six of the balls flew at her and they were going so fast that Saria knew if she caught one square on it might break a bone... she could sense the path of them and saw a way to avoid them. She jumped straight at them and turned her body last second and curved her legs up and all the projectiles slammed into the back wall and Saria landed in a kneel, with Marcus and his friends gaping.

"How did... I mean... how'd you do that?" William asked from the side.

Saria smiled like she always did "Tell ya later, 'kay?" and she grabbed two of the balls (Lol) and hit both of Marcus's friends out and found one more and lobbed it at Marcus's face and he went down.

"Hmmf..." the Coach grunted "Looks like the geek team wins for a change... Well that's all! Your all dismissed!"

The next day... at lunch break.

"So" William said "You never told us how you did that back in P.E yesterday."

Saria glanced around the cafeteria (it's just a room with a cobblestone floor and wooden tables around it) and made sure no one was listening. William and Sam seemed trustworthy and she considered them friends.

"You guys are my friends' right?" she asked

"Well, after yesterday and after our introductions with each other I would hope so" said Sam

"Well... then I will tell you a secret... I hope you don't think of me differently than..."

"Ok..." William and Sam said at the same time.

Saria glanced around again and sighed "I'm not Hylian..."

"What!" William gasped quietly

"Then what are you?" Sam asked politely

"Kokiri"

"Kokiri? Eternal children of the forests?"

Saria nodded.

"I thought they were only myth..." Sam said "But if you truly are a Kokiri then why are you outside the forest? I thought Kokiri were unable to leave it and were always at most 10 years old."

"Well, two years ago I went on a journey, I met the goddesses and I lost immortality... historically I am the first and only Kokiri, so far at least, to have left the forest and gain mortality."

"You say that like it's a good thing..." William said

"It was, I got to stay with my... err... best friend, I get to see the world and meet new people and see and try new things. Life was boring in the forest, well, mostly..."

"Ha, you've got to tell us stories some time then!" Will said, Saria noticed they had a strange accent. (German or Dutch)

"And who was this friend of yours?" Sam asked, knowing something her brother didn't.

Saria blushed lightly "W-What do you mean"

"I'm a girl too you know, it was a guy wasn't it." She said

"Wait, you have a boyfriend?" Will asked "Well, damn"

Saria laughed and so did Sam, Will joined them later in the joke.

"Well, he is relatively well known" Saria said

"Who?" Sam asked

"Link"

Sam, who had been taking a sip from her water bottle, sprayed it all over Saria in mist who replied "Eww..."

"Link? The hero of time?"

"Yeah him..."

"Well now..." Sam said "Now we have to hear these stories!"

Saria laughed "Another time maybe, let's just focus on kicking Marcus's butt in P.E after lunch today"

They all laughed and agreed.

Meanwhile...

Link was stuck on training a few of the newer, younger recruits. There were 8 of them and the oldest was 15, youngest was 12, the same age as Link. Now, Link was the only one of them who was still a kid AND served active duty. These kids would remain in training until they were 16 or 14, depending on how long the training took. There were two other guys who were 14 that Link was friends with who worked actively.

"Alright, alright, that wouldn't work!" Link yelled trying to calm down a few of the trainees who had gotten into an argument about a security trap involving bombs and pressure plates or tripwires.

"Let's just focus on the basics... goddess, how did we even get onto this topic...*sigh* anyways, onto basic law enforcement!" Link walked over to a black bored with paper hainging from it revealed on picture. "A man picks a villagers pocket and makes off with his wallet, after a few minutes chase he is caught, what is the punishment?"

One trainee raised his hand "1-8 weeks prison depending on number of offences and value of items in wallet"

"Correct. Now, physical assault on a villager, physical assault on a guard?"

Another raised his hand "Villager: a month to six months prison, Guard: four months to 8 months in prison."

"Got it! Last one; Assault on the princess or high ranking official"

"Death!" all of the trainees yelled

"Right. But let's hope things never come to that. Now proceed to trainer Valez for combat training."

The trainees bowed and left out for their training and Link went out to meet Zelda who was in the courtyard.

Link knelt on the ground before Princess Zelda and Ambassador Carter "M'lady, how goes things?"

Zelda giggled and put a hand on Carter's shoulder. "Link, how many times must I tell you, you needn't speak to me with such formality."

"Sorry Zelda, I forget some times and it's sorta habit, you are the sole heir to the throne of hyrule, all you need is a husband to make yourself queen... oh speaking of which how's things goin' between you two... uh... not that it's any of my business!"

"Haha, its alright Link my friend" Carter said "Things are going wonderfully, this relationship is multi-beneficial."

"What do you mean?" Link asked

Zelda explained "Well, you see, it just so happened that Carter it the son of the ambassador from Termina, but you already know this, what you didn't know is that Carter's dad is the brother of the King of Termina who just died heirless... you see what I am getting at? Carter is in reality a prince of types so he needs a wife to make him a king... see? This relationship, if it proves successful and I have great faith it will! Will end up making me a queen and him a king, of BOTH Hyrule AND Termina... that's two thing already! AND I really, really think he's hot! Three things right there!"

"Ha, I can see why this would be a good thing!" Link agreed.

Zelda nodded and then cringed "Ooh, I'm sorry, I am so rude to not ask about you and Saria, did you resolve you fight?"

Link smiled "Yeah we did, now I have to use a crowbar to get her off me!"

"Crowbar?" Zelda asked

"A metal bar with a hook used to open nailed boxes" Link explained

"Oh..."

"In other words... now she will hardly let go of me"

"Where is she?"

"I think she is at school right now, she it taking classes at Scorch and Fixer's request."

"Who?"

"Erm... Friends, who I am sure you will meet later."

"Oh, ok... anyways it's almost time for you to leave now, I am expecting you will pick up Saria and be off?"

Link nodded and started to leave the courtyard when...

A middle aged soldier ran into the courtyard with a concerned look on his face.

"Soldier? What is it!" Zelda said

"Milady, Milord, there is a hostage taking down near the marketplace, the culprit is armed with strange weapons and he already killed three of our troops just by pointing at them!"

"What! That must be an exaggeration!" Zelda exclaimed

The soldier shook his head grimly...

"Uh-oh..." Link mumbled "I may be able to take care of this with help... how many are there?"

"five"

"Aye... alright I will try..."

Later...

Link, Zelda, Carter and Saria stood a few blocks away from the where the criminals were hiding, Saria had just left classes and Zelda had insisted on witnessing the so called wizards.

"I hope he got my message..." Link mumbled

Then a 14 year old boy with brown hair and hazel eyes wielding an MA5B assault rifle and wearing green titanium plating along with a taller buffer 18 year old with a heavy gauss rifle wearing a heavier suit of titanium plating ran into the market.

"Hey! Link, me and Sev are ready when you are, or do you think we should go it alone?" Scorch said

"Ha! What sort of hero would I be if I didn't help solve problems?"

"A live one?" Saria suggested

"Link, how about you just stay here, kay?"

Link sighed "Fine"

"Link, who are these people?" Zelda asked

"I'll tell ya later..."

Scorch and Fixer kicked the door of a building in and moved inside and took out two of the five enemies. And proceeded upstairs and at the top of the stair encountered another and before he could get a shot off Sev pegged him between the eyes and he fell down the stairs. Scorch motioned to Sev near a doorway in the hall, Scorch planted a small charge on the door and flicked a detonator and the door shattered and Scorch slid in and unloaded 10 rounds into one guy's stomach. The last guy held a woman and her family hostage and pointed a gun to the girls head.

"Listen buddy put the gun down and let's talk about this?" Scorch said

The guy's grip on the weapon tightened, Sev hadn't entered the room yet and Scorch slowly moved aside of the door and got the guy's vision to follow... then quickly Sev popped around the door and silently shot a bullet into his head...

A few moments later Sev escorted the hostages out and turned them over to the Hylian guards who were staring at the future soldiers.

"Hey, Sev I got bad news..." Scorch said

"What is it?"

"The arms bands on these hostage takers, look familiar?"

"Well shit... they can't be here, didn't we kill their scouts?"

"Yeah, but if they are already here and taking action, we may have less time than I thought..."

"What are you guys talking about?" Link asked walking over with Saria.

"Nothing, but me and Sev have some investigating to do, you guys just mind yourselves and stay outta trouble and we'll be back later..." Scorch pressed a button on the side of his head, attached to his helmet. "Send 'er down... later Link."

Scorch and Sev ran out of the town and jumped into a dropship that had come down to pick them up.

Later...

Link and Saria had just gotten home when Tatl nearly crushed Saria by hugging her "Oh my goddess! I heard about what happened in castle town and I was so worried!"

"Tatl... Can't... Breath..." Saria squeezed out

"Oh, sorry..." Tatl released her "Anyways, how was school today?"

"Pretty good, Sam and Will are pretty good too and we get along well. Classes aren't too tough and I think I am starting to get the hang of P.E with that Marcus jerk"

"Ha, I hope you made his head hurt." Tatl said

Saria smirked "just a little"

"Well, that was quite a commotion on the square, it's getting late already, amazing isn't it? Now of to bed with ye'!"

"What are you a fairy pirate?" Link asked

"Oh shut up Link."

Link and Saria ran upstairs and Tatl sighed relief and went back into her room. "Finally their gone!" she said "Now, where were we?" she asked Kael who was laying down on the bed.

"Are you sure you want to go through with this now that they're here?" he asked

"Yes I am sure, one: I am older then her so I have fair say and I can do that if I want and second: it's your fault I want to continue..."

"What did I do?" Kael asked and looked at him like "Really? Just really?" he metallic blonde hair was split half in front of her shoulders and half behind, her hair was a bit ratty.

"I am the H-word now and you need to-"

"Fine, but if we get caught..."

"We won't" Tatl pushed him and started kissing him all over and quite vigorously.

What did they do? I dunno... shhhhhhh... (I may have a lemon stashed away somewhere for this part... maybe you could ask me for it if you are into that thing?)

Saria and Link lay next to each other in their usual sleeping attire. "Ahhh... so how long till the holidays Link?"

"a few weeks, three I think... why?"

"Just wondering..."

Link rolled over to face her and moved the thin braid that out of the way of her face (she had the longer hair and a simple thin front braid that curves around her cheek to her jaw.) "Have I ever told you I wil never get over how cute you are?"

"That among other things" she giggled and blushed like always.

"Good, I wouldn't want you to forget that..."

"Link, kiss me."

Link happily obliged and kissed her and she reached her tongue into his mouth. In otherworld, they made-out, what a shocker...

"Link..." Saria said as she pulled away just a centimetre so she could speak.

"Saria..."

Then they said it, the three words that lovers will constantly repeat if not on a regular basis. "I Love you"

"Good night Saria... nice for you to actually stay up for me to say that... oh..." Saria had already nodded off in Link's arms. Link ran a hand through her smooth and silky green hair, kissed her on the head and fell asleep himself.
