A/N: I apologize sincerely for the lack of updates, but as I said, I was away for university and had absolutely no time to write. Now I am back and hopefully will have the creative mind to update more frequently!

I stood there, staring at the window the guard ducked away from, ignoring everything around me. Little had I known, Zelda was holding my arm and shaking it, trying to pull me towards her. Shaking my head back to reality, I turned my attention to her.

"Come on!" She smiled. "Come over here with me!"

She ran, laughing to the other side of the courtyard to the opposite window. I walked slowly behind her and watched as she turned and hold her hand out to me, smiling. Smirking back, I placed my hand in hers and stood beside her. Looking down at her, her smile stretched ear to ear.

"Look!" She said, pointing to the window. "I can't take you in the castle to see them closer because my Daddy says no, but look!"

I looked where she was pointing. I have seen the pictures before, but I never really paid attention to them. Four of them, side by side. The people look … completely different than us … and the creatures look like they are from another world, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if I had to fight them one day.

"I don't know what they are." Zelda said and pulled me to the right. "If you look to the far left, you see this green lizard thing. What's the word…?"

"Dinosaur?" I mumbled.

"Yeah!" She bounced. "Dinosaur. Some green dinosaur. And then the next one, she looks almost like a princess, like me! Her hair is even blonde like mine, and her dress is pink! Who do you think she is?"

"I don't know." I rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb. "But you're the only princess we need."

She blushed. "Look! The man looks like he's flying. Is that even possible? Maybe he's saving the princess from a terrible fate."

"No." I shook my head. "There's only one princess that needs saving."

"What?" She looked at me confused. "Who?"

"Oh…" I paused. "Umm…" Her memory. "I just meant that, uh, there's only one princess in Hyrule and you're her, so no other princess would ever need saving."

"Why would I need to be saved?"

"You… wouldn't." I sighed. "Forget I even mentioned it."

"…Alright." She hesitated before turning back to the window. "And the last one! He looks so evil and angry! Maybe he is the bad guy!"

"Maybe." I turned to her and tapped her chin. "But anyone threatening the princess will have to get through me first."

"So you're my hero?" Her eyes sparkled.

"Maybe one day, I will be." I said, and heard a loud grunt behind me. Turning roughly, I looked at Impa eyeing me closely.

"What is it?" Zelda asked.

"Nothing." I said. "Impa just startled me." I lied. "Reminding me that she's always there."

"It's her job to protect me!" Zelda smiled.

"I've noticed." I said, turning away from Impa. "Come one, let's go sit by the steps."

"Ok!" She grabbed my hand and walked beside me. When we reached the steps, she sat down on the first one and patted beside her, waiting for me to join her.

"Hey." She said. "Remember that thing you did last time you were here?"

"…Kiss you?"

"Yeah."

"You should do that again." She played with her hair.

"I … maybe we shouldn't." I looked over at Impa. I actually couldn't read her right now. She looked both intrigued and concerned. Was she changing her mind about the whole thing? I'm so sick of her, I don't even want to ask.

"Why?" Her hands fell down to her side. "Did you not …"

Her face dropped.

"No, no." I said quickly and she brought her eyes to meet mine. Her whole face was dropped, looking disappointed. I hated saying no. Hated it. "It's just …" I sighed. "We're just kids. Maybe … maybe we should wait until we're older." Or you remember.

"Yeah." She nodded. "I guess so. Plus, you're the only boy I've really ever met."

"That doesn't matter." I said defensively.

"I know." She smiled, I loved seeing her smile. She fell silent as she glanced into the window beside us and watched as the guards stood there. Their guard never fell, or at least haven't yet. I can't stop thinking that they just let him walk by them and stand to the King and not know anything. But if the King trusted him, they would have listened and no one would have had the guts to stand up to him. How could he not have seen it? Zelda's accusations probably made it worse, especially is the King told Ganondorf of her accusations. He would have been more cautious, thinking of every move he made. Then, when it was time, it was too late. The King didn't know what hit him. I still look and wait to see the day he is there and wanting to restart everything. That won't happen, I'll be there to stop him. Even as a kid.

"Hey!" She said, catching my attention. "Remember the Ocarina of Time you gave me? Well, the one you returned to me?"

"Of course I do." I said, feeling for my own fairy ocarina.

"Do you know any songs?" She asked and I nodded. "Can you teach me one?!"

"Sure." I said. "I'll teach you one you know very well. Bring the ocarina to your mouth."

She took out the ocarina and slowly raised it to her mouth. I scooted beside her and wrapped my hand around her shoulders as I fixed the way she was holding the ocarina. Sliding my hand from around her, I pointed at one of the holes.

"Place your fingers here." She did. "And blow."

She blew and the ocarina sang the note. She turned, smiling at me. I told her to keep the ocarina in her mouth and move her fingers and blow again. She did, and I could tell she was thinking hard. "Now, the final note for now, move your fingers here and play."

She did, and looked at me curiously. "Play those three, and then play them again."

She did, and her eyes went wide. She lowered the ocarina from her mouth and turned her body to face me.

"That's my lullaby." She smiled in amazement. "But how do you know it?"

"Someone taught me, long ago." I glanced over at Impa. "And I've remembered it ever since. Here, play these notes right after to finish the song."

She played her lullaby, over and over. I stood and watch her. She was too mesmerized to see me slowly back away. Halfway across the courtyard, I saw Impa approach me.

"You know." She said, her arms crossed. "I honestly thought you might teach her the song of time. To see the effect it might have on her."

"I was going to at first." I said, still watching Zelda. "Then I changed my mind. Maybe someday, when it's time for her to remember. Or possibly remember. I'd love for it to be now, but I don't think it's time. Perhaps one day, but not now."
