Kafei sat on his bed, staring at the wall. "I asked Malon to be mine, I ask her to be mine, but
she only told me no...So why don't I feel bad? Shouldn't I be in tears? Or feeling like my world
crashed?" He hadn't felt any grief or sadness over her desion.
"Maybe I never liked her at all." He thought to himself. "I guess I never did, if I don't feel any sadness over losing her. But then, who do I like? I know it has to be someone, but who...?" He thought to himself.
He glanced out the window and saw it was about noon. "It would be a good time to visit Zelda..."
He said to himself. He grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. He got up on his horse and rode
over to Zelda's castle. He often enjoyed riding through the fields.
Sometimes there would be children playing the fields with their dogs or playing hide and seek. He use to sit on the hill and just stare out at the sun, watching it set. He rode across the drawbridge and headed towards the stables.
He jumped off the horse and nodded hello to the stable hand and walked out towards the courtyard. He saw Zelda sitting on the stone bench. She glanced up at him, worry hinted in her eyes.
"Are you Ok Kafei?" She asked him. He nodded. He sat down next to her an patted her knee. He studied her with intense eyes. He had always known that she was pretty, but not that pretty.
"I just haven't noticed her that much, that's all." He thought to himself.
Kafei watched her walk around the bench, sunk in as if she was in deep thought. Her eyes were lost in the thought and showed her happiness as she another thought flowed over her. "Must be of Link," He thought to himself, but he also noticed something else in his thoughts.
"Jealousy? Why would I have that...?" He glanced at Zelda and felt another wave of emotion overcome him. He tried to pinpoint this emotion and when he did, he stood up abruptly and tapped Zelda on the shoulder to her get her attention.
"Zelda, I need to get going back home, I'll see you tomorrow." He hugged her, something he hadn't done before, but she hugged him back, thinking that he might have needed a hug since the ordeal with Malon had happened to him.
Kafei jumped up on his horse and rode out in a fast gallop towards towards his home out near Lake Hylia. He stayed bent over the saddle, his thoughts whirling around in his head as if the wind was inside him, not out blowing against his face.
He slowed down once he near his home and released his horse so it could go eat the grass. He ran into his house and it wasn't until he slammed the door behind him did he finally allow himself to face his emotion.
Goddesses... I'm in love with Zelda...

One weeks later...
Malon stood in the hallway of her school, waiting for Mikau to walk out the doors of the cafeteria. She was wearing a brown jacket with a yellow sweater and a white and blue skirt.
She had hoped to make an excellent impression on him. She had followed him everywhere, asking if
he would go with her, but he had declined everytime. She was going to ask him again.
Meanwhile, Kafei and Zelda were in the library, checking out some books and talking about the dreams Kafei had been having lately. They seemed a bit strange to her, but she listened to him with seriousness.
"I keep seeing myself, with this small child in my arms, and the mother is standing by my side, but I don't know who she could be. I know that the child I hold in my arms is mine, I can tell when I look into his eyes..."
Zelda shook her head and patted his arm reassuringly. "I'm sure it'll become clear in the end."
She said to him as she got and up headed toward the front desk to check out her book since lunch was almost over and they had to get back to there classes.
Kafei stood up and followed her to the desk just as the bell rang. He saw Mikau talking to Malon and tapped Zelda. She turned around and saw Mikau and Malon talking.
"Oh no..." She said. Mido, Mikau's friend, was standing next to Malon, but then spotted them inside of the library.
He walked towards the entrance and walked inside. He turned towards them and waved. "Hey guys." He said to them. Zelda waved and Kafei turned to talk to him.
"Why are Malon and Mikau talking? I thought he didn't like her." He said to Mido. Mido gave him a helpless shrug and faced Kafei with a serious face.
"Malon just asked Mikau out and he said yes." He replied in a sad tone. Kafei glanced out at the two, who where still standing there talking. He shook his head, not knowing what to say. He glanced at Zelda, who had a look of shock sadness mixed on her face.
"We best go back to class, I'm all the way down in the west wing..." She said, trailing off.
Kafei and Mido started their walk back to class. Zelda sat at her desk, drumming her fingers, looking up at the clock hoping that the bell would ring so she could go to fourth period and ask Mikau what he had been thinking of when he said yes to Malon.
The bell rang and Zelda zipped out of there and ran towards the north wing. She ran inside the instrumental room and found Mikau pulling his instrument out. She pulled hers out and sat down in her chair, waiting for Mikau to sit next to her.
Mikau soon sat down and arranged their music on the stand infront of them so they would be ready when the director come out of his office. Zelda turned to face him and asked him the question that was on her mind.
"Mikau, why did you tell Malon yes? I thought you said you didn't like her..." She trailed off. Mikau grinned and turned to face Zelda.
"I was tired of her pestering me to be her boyfriend, so I told yes just so she would stop asking me. But I plan to use her affection against her and I plan to become everything she hates just so she'll dump me!"
Zelda sat speechless to hear these words coming from her friend's mouth. It seemed to her, that all the world was insane today. Soon the period ended and she gathered up her bag and books and walked outside in the sun. It was then that something hit her.
Oh no, I have to break the news to Malon... But she'll deny it... And Darunia will know...
Goddesses...
I have to tell Darunia what Malon's doing to him...
