Link sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the wall. Zelda had been strangely quiet while she was with him. He hadn't ever seen her that quiet unless something was bothering her. He had asked her if anything was wrong, but she said nothing was bothering her at all, she just had a headache.

He decided that he would go see her tomorrow in the afternoon. Sure, that's when she spent her time talking to Kafei, but he was sure Kafei wouldn't mind him talking to her. He lay back on his bed and fell asleep.

*                                              *                                              *                                              *

Zelda tossed and turned on her bed, feeling the dream pound into her head, feeling the intensity of it. She sat up with a start, her head dripping sweat. She grabbed the cloth off her nightstand and wiped the sweat off. She recalled the dream and shudder.

Zelda stood in front of Malon, who was rambling on about Mikau. Suddenly, she was transported into a seat next to Mikau.

 "Zelda... You know what I'm going to do to Malon?" "No, what Mikau?" "I'm going to go out with this one girl... Saria. Then when she finds out, she'll dump me and her heart will be broken!"

Zelda felt her mouth go dry, and then was transport to a park. She glanced around, worried until she saw Kafei. She ran over to him and he smiled at her.

"Kafei, do you know of Mikau and Malon?"

"Yes I do Zelda, it's a pity."

"I feel awful about this..."

"Don't Zelda."

He grabbed her and bent down to kiss and then she woke up.

Zelda could have screamed right then and there, if she wasn't afraid of someone coming to check up on her. She saw that the sun was beginning to rise, so she slipped out of bed and dressed. She checked her appearance in the mirror and head down towards the courtyard to read.

Link glanced up at the sky and shuddered. It was starting to get colder since they were now nearing November. He had spent the day talking to Saria, but his head had been in the clouds. He was worried something might be wrong with her and that she was afraid to tell him.

He sat staring at the small waterfall where he had showered as a child. He shook his head. He just couldn't shake the feeling that Zelda was trying to hide something from him, but he wasn't sure what. Lately she had become stressed and tired. She wasn't as happy as she was before and she wasn't doing a good job hiding it.

"Goddesses Zelda, What's wrong?" He asked aloud to waterfall.

*                                              *                                              *                                              *

Mikau sat in the carriage, Saria sitting by him. Across from him sat Zelda and Kafei. "Well, what was quite some tournament, but we made it through, just like always." Mikau said with a grin. Saria smiled at Zelda and Kafei and they smiled back at her.

Zelda glanced out the window, watching the fields fly by them. Zelda let the curtains fall back into place and leaned against her seat. She rested her forehead against the wall of the carriage and shut her eyes.

An hour passed and when she opened her eyes, she saw Saria sitting in Mikau lap, his arms around her and they were fast asleep on each other. Zelda winced at the sight and noticed that an arm was around her waist.

"I know it's hard, but Malon knew from the start he would do this to her." Kafei whispered in her ear. Zelda shook her head and allowed Kafei to hold her until she fell asleep once more.

*                                              *                                              *                                              *

Malon walked down the school halls, looking for Mikau. "Now where is he?" She muttered to herself as she scanned the large crowd of teenagers. She walks upstairs to the classroom, where she thought he might be.

She soon saw a figure leaning against a wall. She smiled when she saw it was Mikau and hurried over to him. "Mikau! I've been looking for you!" She said as she reached up to kiss him. Mikau grinned and allowed her to kiss him on the cheek.

"Hey Malon, you best go to class." He said to her. Malon looked at him strangely. "Um, they haven't called us to class yet." She said. "You might want to get a head start, you'll never know when they'll spring a pop quiz on you." He said, still grinning as Kafei appeared around the corner.

"Hey guys... Hey Malon." She nodded at him. "Hey Malon, can we talk?" He asked her. Malon shook her head and stood closer to Mikau. "No, I know what you want and you won't take me away from Mikau! He loves me and I love him too!"

Kafei shook his head. "That's not what I want to talk about, I want to talk to you about-" He stopped short when he saw Saria approach them. "Oh no..." He said under his breath. He stood next to Malon and watched her.

Malon watched Mikau walk up to Saria and kiss her. Malon marched over to Mikau, Kafei in tow.

"Mikau what are you doing?!" She demanded. Mikau grinned at her. "Hanging with my girlfriend, what does it look like Malon?" Malon's eyes went wide and they began to fill with tears.

"Mikau how could you?! Why did you do this to me?!" She screamed. She kept screaming insults at him, even after he left with Saria and after Kafei took her away so that she could cry her heart out.

Kafei patted her back and did his best to reassure her and he fell silent when a shadow fell on them. He glanced up to see Darunia. Darunia glanced down at Malon, then at Kafei.

"So Mikau carried out his little plan?" Darunia asked darkly. Kafei nodded and stood up and took a few steps back as Darunia approached Malon and kneeled down beside her. He patted her back and watched her face as she looked up at him.

"Darunia! Do you know all about this?" Malon asked fearfully. Darunia nodded. "Link told me what happened. I'm sorry Malon, but I can't be with you anymore." He said as he stood up and left. Malon broke out into a shrill sob and Kafei kneeled beside her and hugged her.

She clung to him and cried.
