Linda saw the boy that held a striking resemblance to Yuki, the she met when she was first taken out of the forest. Linda ran towards the group, Pona galloped behind her. Both stopped before them. Avi and Evi finally arrived. They had overslept.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Avi exclaimed, flying towards them.
She pulled one of the guard's bangs making him loose his grip on the boy, who took the chance to get free. The boy got free from the other guard's grip, grabbed Linda's hand, and ran away. Pona and the twin fairies followed.
The guards stared at the small group run away.
"What are you looking at!? After them!" The third guard ordered.
The two guards that held the boy ran after the group. Linda and the boy ran outside into Hyrule's field. Pona and the twins caught up to them.
"This is no good. They'll catch us. Why did you help me? They'll catch you too." The boy said. "We've got to get out of here."
"Why?" a voice asked.
They turned and saw Impa walking towards them. The boy got in a fighting position.
"No captain is going to get me!" he declared.
"Is that so? What happened?" Impa asked.
Linda shrugged.
"They're outside! Hurry!" the guards voices were heard.
The boy grabbed Linda's hand. They both got on Pona and galloped in direction to the village. Linda waved goodbye to Impa. Avi stayed with Linda while Evi stayed with Impa.
"They ran away!" one of the guards exclaimed when they reached the outside of the castle market.
"What happened?" Impa asked.
"That boy is the one who's always sneaking in her majesty's garden. It seems he had someone else with him this time. That girl and the fairies that followed her helped him. Then they ran away, the horse that belonged to the sheikah went with them. This is so confusing." The second guard said.
"Is that so…I'll get them. Tell his majesty that I'll be in Kakariko babysitting." Impa said.
The guards nodded confused as she left.
Pona reached Kakariko. The boy and Linda quickly got off and ran up the cold stairs, Pona stayed outside with Avi.
"We've got to hide." The boy told Linda.
He kept on dragging her until they found an alley to hide in.
"We'll stay here for a while. If they didn't follow, we'll leave." He said.
Linda nodded with a silly smile.
"Huh? Have I seen you before? You look familiar." He said. "Ah, never mind. My name's Yukito, what's yours?"
Linda smiled even happier. She quickly hugged him.
"What's wrong are you hurt?" Yuki asked.
Linda shook her head and let him go.
"At least you're okay. Sorry for dragging you into this." Yuki said.
"It's okay, Yuki." Linda said.
"Oh, you talked! I though you couldn't."
"…"
"Maybe it's just me but, you look like Lin. And it's not just in appearances, but in attitude too."
Linda smiled and nodded.
"Found you." Impa said standing at the entrance of the alley.
Linda and Yuki jumped surprised.
"I'm caught?" he asked himself.
Linda shook her head.
"No?" Yuki and Impa asked.
"No." Linda answered. "No one harms my friends."
"He's your friend?" Impa asked.
"I'm your friend?" Yuki asked.
"Well, yes and no." Linda said.
Yuki and Impa stared at her.
"Okay, I won't capture you. But you better stay off the castle grounds." Impa warned Yuki, who nodded. "Come on, Linda. Let's go."
"Linda? Then, you really are Lin!" Yuki exclaimed hugging Linda.
Linda gave him a nod when he let her go.
"You know each other?" Impa asked.
Yuki and Linda nodded.
"We met one day when her father and this annoying zora were in town." Yuki said.
"When daddy was getting Ruto some water." Linda said.
"That was the first time Link took you out. He told me." Impa said.
"Link? As in Hyrule's king, Link?" Yuki asked.
"Are you mad?" Linda asked.
"No, just surprised."
"Come on. I need him to tell me why he sneaks into the castle. Let's go to my house. We can't stay out in the snow much, we might catch a cold." Impa said, walking away.
Yuki and Linda nodded. They quickly followed Impa.
