Loves Me, Loves Me Not
Part 2- Good Times, or Real Times?
Link looked around the Ranch. Epona watched as a cucco from the other side of the
house perk out followed by other cuccos. Link and Epona walked toward the fenced up
horse training area. There were four other horses in it. One was all brown with a black
strip on his left leg. Another was also brown, but with white spots on his back. They were
really nice horses, but Link liked Epona the best. She was Link's getaway partner. He,
Epona, and Navi were all a team. They had worked together, and still do. Link got off
Epona, and knocked on the front door to their house. "Hello, is anyone home? Malon, are
you awake?" Link said in a soft voice so he wouldn't awaken her father. Even though he
should've been up by now. "What in ternation?! Who's there?" A voice peeped from
under the door. "Oh, Talon! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were awake..." Link tried to
sound innocent, "Uh, that's ok, Link. I wasn't even asleep. But people usually come here
in the afternoon!" Talon scratched his back. "Well, I just wanted to know if Malon was
awake," Link looked at Talon, then heard a screech of the stable door opening. He turned
around. There was Malon. She walked out carrying buckets of milk, then set them down.
"Hi, Link! What are you doing here? Come to train Epona, buy some milk, help out
with…Link, what's the matter?" Link starred at Malon, almost like he hadn't seen her in
years. He just stood there, watching every move she made. She was beautiful like she
always was. She wore a purple skirt with designs at the front, and a white top with a
small yellow shawl that connected to a broach. The broach had some sort of breast face
on it. But whatever it was, Malon was still the same. She hardly had changed, and Link
liked her that way. Finally Link understood her, "Uh, Malon! Sorry, nothing's wrong. I'm
here to uh…see how you were doing," Link felt stupid. He totally messed up. Malon
smiled, "Are you sure you're fine? Your face is all red." Malon put her fire red hair
behind her ears. "My face? No really. I'm uh fine…" Link looked away from Malon,
then back. "Well anyway, you're here just to see how I was doing?" She smiled at him
again. "Of course," Link looked at the field, "let's go for a walk," Malon viewed her dad,
then answered Link, "Sure, it's about time I got some fresh air," Malon, and Link exited
the Ranch, and entered Hyrule field. The wind blew Malon's shiny hair in her face, but
the sun was out. It wasn't cloudy, or clear, but it seemed perfect. "First of all, were you at
the castle by any chance delivering milk? I thought I saw you there," Link waited for a
reply, "Yes, in fact. Princess Zelda ordered for some. Dad was too busy with cows, so I
had to deliver the milk," Malon sighed. She looked so tired. Her dark blue eyes were
soaked in with it, "So, how are you? Anything new around the Ranch?" Link made it
simple. "I'm fine, but I've been thinking about a lot of stuff lately," Malon glanced at the
birds that were on the very tip of a dead tree. It was tall. It most have been taller than her
and Link put together. Link spoke up, "What 'things' have you been thinking about?"
Link had a fishy look on his face. Malon looked up to him, and giggled, "And what
makes you so sure that I'm going to tell you, Link?" He smiled, "Well, excuuuuuse me!!
Ok, then, can you please tell me what things you have been thinking about…lately?!"
Malon laughed, "I don't know…they are kind of personal," Link walked slower, "Oh,
come on! I won't tell anyone," Malon tried to calm herself down from laughing so hard,
then made her decision, "No way! I wouldn't tell you if my life depended on it!" Now
both laughed. Link managed to speak, "Really? You'll see Malon. One of these days
you're going to tell me!!" Malon disagreed, "You better not count on it, Link!" They
started to calm down. They haven't had that much fun in a long time. Hours had gone by,
and they didn't even notice, "We'd better start heading back, it's getting dark," They had
almost spent the whole day in the field together. A few minutes later, they were at
LonLonRanch. "Well, here you are, Malon," Link thought of the things they did in the
field. "I had fun. Maybe we can do something another time," Malon looked down, almost
as if she was suddenly shy. "Ya, I'd like that. I'll come back tomorrow if I can," Link
brought her to the door. "See you, Link," Malon brought her head up, "See you, Malon,"
Link was walking towards the exit when he heard Malon's voice, "Oh, and Link," Malon
stopped, "Thank you for today. Bye," Link watched as she closed the door. Link loved
Malon. He really did. He kept on saying it to himself. He just didn't want to show
it…yet. She was everything Link wanted. She was curious, active, adventurous, and
lovable. Malon was Link's missing thought. The missing thought he had in the field.
Although, he thought she didn't feel the same way. Link thought Malon only wanted to
be his friend. Link walked infront on the Ranch. He left Epona at the Ranch. He could see
Malon sitting next to a window. All he could see was the black image. "Oh, Malon," Link
thought to himself. He strolled along the field by himself, thinking of the things around
him. Not long after, Link remembered he had to go back to the castle. Link told Zelda
that he would come back, and if he didn't, she'd be in a real bad temper. Link ran as fast
as he could to the castle. If he hadn't left Epona at LonLonRanch, he would've already
been there. Link entered the castle gate. He couldn't see Zelda anywhere. Just then, the
princess jumped out of a door. "There you are! I've been looking for you!! Where the
heck have you been, Link?!" Princess Zelda was furious. It wasn't his fault he was gone.
Who cares if he was gone anyway? Zelda didn't own him. "I was out doing something,"
Link didn't what to tell her what he did yet. "And what were you doing out? I thought
you said you were coming back to the castle!" Zelda looked like about to cry. "And what
do you think I just did?!" Link was annoyed with Zelda's statements. They made no
sense to him. Zelda never acted like this before. What was wrong with her? The princess
starred at Link, then cooled down. "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," she
apologized. She sat down on a wooden bench, and motioned Link to come sit beside her.
They both sat there, not saying anything for a few minutes. "Why did you want me to
come back anyways?" Link started a conversation up, "Well, you said you would come
back," Zelda remembered. "I thought you said after…oh never mind," Link knew he
would just start up a fight or something. Zelda continued, "Link, I want to tell you
something. You are the Hero of Time, and I am the Princess of Hyrule…well…we're
good friends," Zelda sighed. Link knew she was going to say something else. The
princess liked Link…a lot. You could tell from her actions towards him. It was something
that Link was afraid of. He liking Malon, and Zelda liking him. It was hard, but he just
couldn't love Zelda. She had to understand that. Link smiled at Zelda, "I have to get
going now, Link. I hope to see you soon, then," the princess walked away, looking back
at Link. He waved good-bye. Link made his way to the Kokiri Forest. There, he spent the
night in his old tree house. "Tomorrow, I'll make my first stop at LonLonRanch," Link
told himself as fell asleep, "Tomorrow."
