Part two: Saria?!?
"Oh Link, isn't it wonderful?" Saria was so full of joy she couldn't hold back her fresh tears. She could hardly remember the last time she had cried for joy.
It was when Link had said he'd always stay with her. But that was a long time ago, and he'd probably already forgotten.
"Saria?" Link stuttered. "Is it really you? But how?" Link asked in amazement.
"Oh Link! I'm so happy! The Sages combined their power with mine, and aged myself." "But," She said, her smile turning into a frown, "it will only last for a week."
"But why?" Link asked, knowing he shouldn't have. He already knew the answer.
"To be with you, of course! All I've ever wanted was to be with you."
"Saria, you know, Oh. Do you want to have a picnic with me in the Lost Woods?" Link said, kicking himself for it.
"I thought you'd never ask. I'd love to!"
**THE NEXT DAY**
Link put on a clean tunic and packed a basket he stole from Mido with lunch. Then he set off to Saria's house. When he got there, the pair headed to the Lost Woods. They started eating lunch.
"Isn't that Mido's basket?" Asked Saria.
"Um. No." Said Link.
"Oh well it looked like it, not saying you stole it or anything!"
"Of course you aren't." Link said then went back to eating his fish. When they were done Saria laid down in a soft patch of grass and said,
"Link, do you think I'm pretty?"
"What?" Link asked startled by the question.
"You heard me,"
"Umm.... Of course!" Link said a little worried.
"Do you mean it?"
"Of course!"
"Link, what's the matter?"
"Matter? Nothing's the matter!" Saria scooted closer to Link and said,
"You know if anything is bothering you, you can tell me." Link skooted away and stammered,
"N.... Nothing is wrong." Saria scooted even closer and asked again,
"Are you sure your ok?" Link stood and backed away.
"Like I said, I'm just peachy." His voice began to waver. He was trying hard not to hurt Saria, but he wanted her to know the truth. "Um, Saria? I have to tell you something."
"Yes Link?" Saria asked hopefully.
"Well-I-have-to-be-going-now! Bye!" He said it so fast; it all sounded like one
word. He dashed out of the Woods, forgetting his blanket and basket.
"Damn. We didn't even get to kiss. Maybe next time..." Saria began to clean up the
little campsite. Suddenly, she got an idea. 'Link is going to love this!' She thought happily.
**LATER THAT DAY**
Saria went into Link's house and crept into Link's bed. She pulled the covers over her head and lay as flat as she could. About five minutes passed, and Saira heard the thump of Link's boots against the floor. She held her breath. Link sat on the edge of his bed and pulled off his boots. He lay back on the bed. Saria gasped. Then waited. Link hadn't noticed! Link felt a lump. He patted around near his head.
"Hmm..." Link got off the bed and slowly pulled off the covers. He gasped, and a little tuft of green hair peeked through. Clenching his teeth, Link threw the rest of the blankets off the bed.
"Hi Link." Saria cooed. Link began to get angry.
"Listen! I don't like you, ok! I never have! Not in any way other than a friend, do you understand?" Saria gasped. She jumped up and ran out of the tree house and into the Lost Woods, salty tears pouring down her hot cheeks. Link called after her, "Saria! I'm sorry! Come
back!"
