A/N: B.C. asked me to leave the old title of her story on Chapter 1 so those who read her old story would recognize it, but now, due to certain circumstances, the title must be changed, and since I've been given control of the rest of the story, I am giving it the title Twilight Melody. If any of you readers are utterly confused by all this, let me explain. B.C. was unfortunately involved in a situation in which she was forced to stop writing fanfics. She thus shattered into dust, leaving me to put the pieces back together and continue with the legacy that was her fanfiction. Of course, she can never be put back together, but her fanfiction will live on. Ohh yes, anything in between *'s is now not only Malon's thoughts, but the thoughts of the last person mentioned.

Twilight Melody

That afternoon of "the castle incident" Malon and Talon arrived at the ranch arguing amongst each other. "Daddy, I can't believe you fell asleep and left me there!"

"Well, I'm sorry, Malon. You know I can't control it, Sugar! I just can't fight this urge to sleep all the time. Awww, please forgive me, Malon. You know I didn't mean to leave you there."

"Uhhh! All right, Daddy! I'll forgive you, but this is the last time!"

It was only now that the two noticed Mr. Ingo. He was leaving the stable, but he stopped when he saw Malon and Talon coming up the hill. He seemed different, somewhat distracted. He seemed to be in deep thought. * Look at them, senselessly bickering over senseless matters! It's, it's totally SENSELESS! I'll bet that man fell asleep again. That lazy bum! I should own this ranch, NOT HIM! Ganondorf was right! I'm the great one! This ranch should be MINE! *

But Ingo was rudely interrupted from his thoughts by Talon. "Uhh, Ingo, uhh, can you go over there and clean up the mess the cuccos made?"

Ingo's face immediately twisted into anger, but no one seemed to notice because once again Ingo was interrupted, but this time by Malon's VERY high pitched squeal. "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! Come to the stable quick! It's here, it's here! You too Mr. Ingo!"

"I'm on my way, Pumpkin," screamed a flustered Talon.

Ingo followed, mumbling under his breath.

They arrived, but they weren't the only ones. One of the horses had just given birth to a beautiful little copper colored pony. It was different from the other horses, though. It had a stunning white mane and white hair on its hooves to match. The three spectators were in awe, but for very different reasons.

Malon was delighted at the thought of having her very own pony. She was already dreaming about the possibilities.

Talon was also delighted, but his mind was focused on what a wonderful show horse the newborn would make.

Ingo, on the other hand, had his own very different set of plans. This horse was a total revelation to him. His face lit up with a new light. * This horse is an omen, I know it. It's trying to tell me something, and I know exactly what it is. The birth of this horse symbolizes my birth into the world of GREATNESS! I will prevail over these, these wastes of oxygen! One day, I will own this ranch, and when I do, this beautiful horse will be my gift to Ganondorf. It will be my way of thanking him for the new outlook on life he has given me! I owe his so much.... * But once again, Ingo was interrupted.

"Epona!"

Talon was shocked out of his mild nap by this sudden outburst. "Huh?! Huh? What's that Malon? Epona?"

"That's her name! Epona. Isn't it pretty?"

"Uhh huh ....... ZZZZZZZZZZZ"

"Daddy! This is no time to SLEEP!"

"Uhh, uhh ...... NO! I wasn't sleepin'! I, I, I was just testin' you. Yeah! That's right! I was testin' you! To see if you can tell if I was sleeping or not! Haaaaaa haaaaaaaa!"

Mr. Ingo finally decide to speak up. "Yeah sure ...... 'mumble mumble' you're both wierdos 'mumble mumble'"

Malon seemed to hear something come from Ingo. "What's that, Mr. Ingo?"

"Nuthin'. Uhh, I'm gonna go clean up that cucco mess." And with that, he left.

"Daddy, Have you noticed? Mr. Ingo's been acting pretty strange since we got home. I think there's something wrong." There was a slight pause until Malon noticed she wasn't really talking to anybody because, once again, Talon had fallen asleep. "DADDY!"
