A/N: Getting to the end. This is about the second or third last chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't even own the ancient computer which I typed this on. Of course I don't own Zelda.
"Link, that was an incredible story," Saria said.
"Wasn't so incredible while it was happening," he replied.
"Yeah, I suppose not. You know, it must be really hard for you. I know the other Link found it pretty hard coming back."
"Coming back?" Link asked.
"Yeah... Remember, Zelda sent him back in time from being an adult."
"Oh... It wasn't too hard for me. I'd only spent about a week as an adult. Link had spent a fair while, hadn't he?"
"Yes. About a year. He said the worst part was going back and seeing that all the people he knew as an adult had forgotten him. Even the princess who had sent him back didn't know him," Saria said sadly.
"I can imagine how awful that must have been," I said.
"That's what I said to him. He just sighed and shook his head," Saria said. "That was when he was about to leave. He's been away for a few years now."
"Where is he?" Link asked curiously.
"I don't have a clue. He told me he was "looking for a friend". I think it was Zelda, she left Hyrule a few years ago too, before Link."
"Oh. I hope he's OK."
"He will be. Remember, he's travelled before."
"Yeah..."
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Talon entered, and folling him was a short boy, with gingery hair, wearing the same sort of clothes as Saria.
"This kid came looking for "Saria". I guess that's you?" Talon asked Saria.
"Yes, Talon. Thank you." The boy looked at Saria and smiled. Then he noticed Link.
"What's the boy without a fairy doing here?" he asked in surprise.
"I'm pleased to meet you too," Link said sarcastically. Saria glared at him.
"Mido, this isn't Link. Well, it is, but he isn't the Link you know. He's another Link, who happens to look just like our Link who is gone."
"Saria, I lost you at "well, it is". Could I have an better explaination?" Mido asked.
"Look, you remember Link left, right?" Saria asked.
"Yeah..." Mido said.
"Well, he's not back."
"Right...then why is he standing right in front of me?"
"This guy is called Link, and he does look just like Link, but he isn't Link."
"OK. I sort of understand. Link is gone, but this is someone else called Link."
"Yes!"
"Well, hello, I suppose. I'm Mido."
"Hello," Link said, trying not to laugh.
"Mido, while I was explaining I completely forgot something. You left the forest!" Saria yelled.
"Yes, so did you."
"I know, but why did you leave?" Saria asked.
"Well... I, um, I was looking for you," Mido said nervously.
"Why?" Link asked. "Why did you go and look for Saria?" Link had realised why, but he knew Mido needed to say it to Saria.
"Um, Saria's fairy asked me to," Mido said. It wasn't exactly a lie. Obi had asked him to go, but that had only been part of the reason he had left. Link glared at him suspiciouly.
"Saria doesn't have a fairy," he said.
"WHAT? Of course she does!" Mido exclaimed in disbelief.
"No, actually, I don't anymore, Mido. She left looking for help. She's been gone for a few days though. I wonder why..."
"Well, she did ask me to help you. Then she left."
"Why didn't she come straight backt to Saria?" asked Link intuitively (A/N: Is that a word? If it isn't, it is now.)
"I...um...I don't know."
"Surely when you went to help Saria the fairy came with you. Speaking of which, why did you take so long?" Mido looked around, trying to find a way out, his mind desparately trying to think of a excuse.
"I...couldn't find her," he said.
"Link, don't push him so hard. He only just got here, he must be tired," Saria said reasonably. "Mido, why don't yu just follow Talom downstairs. I'm sure he'll find something for you to sleep on.
"Sleep? Tired?" Mido asked.
"Oh, sorry. Well, I think that here we need to sleep. Tired is when you feel a little woozy and all you want to do is rest. Sleep is like being knocked out, it's what tired people do and when you wake up, you're not tired."
"Why don't we sleep in the forest?"
"I think it's the Deku Tree that allows us to live without sleep. Or maybe it's just a part of the forest."
"Oh. OK. I'll go and find Talon." Mido left the room. As soon as he was out of earshot, Saria started to yell at Link.
"Why did you ask him all those questions? He didn't want to answer them! You upset him!"
"He was hiding something, I know it. I want to find out what it is." Link went to open the door.
"You aren't going anywhere. You are staying here and leaving Mido alone."
"OK, OK. No need for you to be so protective. It's not like I'm going to fire-blast him or anything." Link paused. "How do you know him?" he asked.
"Mido is the boss of the Kokiri, my people," Saria replied.
"I'd like to see the rest of the Kokiri. And your house. You'd probably want to go home."
"Yeah, I do."
