A/N: It snowed more. *cries* And school's back to normal. The chapters are slowly getting longer. And we're almost to the Snow Realm, though I'm not sure why we'd ever want to go there with this weather. And did anyone recognize the characters from last disclaimer? Because that game's fabulous.

Melkor'sOnlyLieutenant- He should. He really should.

grovyleTheGreat- Zelda would be sad if you made her do that.

Luckily for Link, the first person he saw after leaving Alfonzo confused about rabbits was Isaac.

"Hey, Link! Did you go on a big adventure?""

"I'm on one now..." Link muttered, causing Zelda (who was floating next to his shoulder) to giggle.

Isaac ignored Link's comment. "Well, anyways, why are you dressed in that weird solider getup?"

"Weird?!" Zelda huffed. "It's not weird, it's based of the legend of the savior of Hyrule, the Hero of Winds. He was amazing! He had to sail, like, 10 oceans to find us a home, then get through the war with the Demon King so he could start a new country! He and the Princess at that time are, like, the only reason we're alive..."

While Zelda continued ranting, Link told Isaac, "It has to do with the adventure I'm having. And here's your candy! I got you your favorite: Milk Duds!"

After Isaac thanked Link, wished him luck, and started eating his Milk Duds, Link decided to show Zelda his hometown! She had never been, as there was no imports coming from there. He showed her first Isaac's house, and Delilah and Ayala were home.

Ayala looked at Link curiously. "Have your engineer clothes always been this green?"

"Nmm, vrrrre smmdmms cmuuuvs."

Ayala nodded, somehow understanding Link through her mom's bear hug. "Well, did you tell Nico yet?"

"Nnmmm, thnnnnmms!" Link pulled himself out of Delilah's hug, then dove out the door.

Zelda smiled. "Nice town. Now, more importantly... Why in Hyrule did you call me Zelly last chapte- I mean on the train?!"

Link shrugged, walking towards his house. "Well... It's the only name I could think of on short notice, and I needed something to call you if you need to say something... You could be my long lost cousin."

Zelda opened her mouth to respond, but in all honesty, it was a good idea, and she did need an alibi... So she silently agreed.

At Link's house, the duo found Nico sitting on the couch daydreaming.

"Hey there Link... How was the ceremony?"

"Good, Nico!"

"So, you're finally a real engineer. Ah, this is a happy day! Say, why are you dressed like Li- a solider?"

Both Link and Zelda decided to ignore Nico's slip of the tongue. Link responded, "An errand for the princess. It's... Kinda secret... But I'm transporting a type of energy specially to the Tower of Spirits. The long way round, as the Spirit Tracks have gone missing."

"Ahh... You look just like a friend of mine from when I was young..." Nico started to daydream again.

"...Nico?"

Nico suddenly snapped out of his disinterest for the conversation. "Ah, that reminds me! Since you can travel all over the world by train now... *dramatic pause* ...Would you mind doing a favor for ol' Nico here?"

"Uh... Okay."

"I used to love traveling back in the day... I used to sail and visit so many exotic places... And every place I'd go, there'd be a special stamp station where I could get a super special stamp. I never figured out who built those stations... Anyways, collecting these stamps was a way to record my travels. I loved those little stamps more than anything! But back then, I didn't have anything to stamp them in..."

Zelda said, without thinking, "Why not your skin?"

Link asked Nico the question. "Well, my boss at the time- a feisty girl she was- highly disliked tattoos. Especially squared swirly ones. I'm not sure why. Anyways, I was in a sad state of affairs back then. And this brings me to the favor. Can you use this book to collect all the stamps for me?"

"You want me... To collect stamps?"

"Yup! Will ya do it?"

Zelda looked at Link, nodding yes enthusiastically. "Um... Sure."

"Thanks! Please collect a whole mess of stamps for me... I'll give you a gift if you get a lot. Here's the book!" Nico gave like the book.

"Okay, Nico! I'll try my best!"

Link left the house, Zelda following with her new hobby, and went strait up to the stamp station he found earlier. Before he got there though, he found a new fence. He asked Delilah's husband, Connie, what it was.

"I'm going to make a cucoo farm, once I get some. More importantly, did you quit your engineer job to become a solider?"

Link was appalled. "Nononononono, I'm a... a... Soldineer. At the moment."

"Ah... Special mission, huh? Good luck! I think Alfonzo's ready."

"Cool!"

Link continued north, finding the stamp station and stamping it into his new book.

"Oooh, it has an adorable ocean and palm tree on it!" Zelda exclaimed.

After finally getting back to the train station, Alfonzo's house, which was also a train repairing station, opened up. The Spirit Train, driven by Alfonzo, rolled out with one new addition.

"Oh, hey Link! Zelly!" Zelda sighed. "Check this out! It's a brand new cannon for your train! With this bad boy, you can smash through almost anything!"

"Can we kill stuff with it too?" Link and Zelda asked at the same time.

"Yup! Now that you've got this, you can go on your adventure to the Snow Realm easily! Both me and the Princess are counting on you, Link!"
