This is a while after Oot (so Link is now around 20) None of these characters are mine. Link probably would not actually act like this but my story wouldn't happen if I didn't make him. This is my first ever fan fiction, so don't expect too much! Oh, by the way, *These surrounding a sentence mean the active character is thinking the words* and {These surrounding a sentence mean they are my words.} Well, happy reading! ^-^

Summer Storm



A dark figure sat in front of a gorgeous waterfall. It was the first day of spring and the grass was a beautiful emerald green. The figure in front of the waterfall was a young man. His name was Link. He wore the clothing of the Kokiri children, because he was raised there. He had golden hair covered by a small green hat. (I have to admit he sounds kinda cute!) Link stood up and then took from his pocket a small instrument that glowed a dull blue. He played a song and the waterfall softened its harsh flow to reveal a doorway. Link hopped right in. "Link! Where were you? You can be so inconsiderate sometimes! I was waiting here for almost 15 minutes!" Cried Ruto, Princess of the Zoras. "I'm sorry, I was just talking with some old friends about coming to the wedding." Link replied. "Oh! Well I guess that is quite important. You can't have a wedding with no guests!" The wedding was to happen in mid-July, at the beach in Termina. It was to be a grand affair with 300 guest and marvellous food and decorations. Link and Ruto had decided that it was time to put their words into action. They were just ecstatic. "What kind of cake do you want? Chocolate? Vanilla? Strawberry?" Questioned Ruto. "I think it would be best to have strawberry, seeing as that is the traditional wedding cake." Link decided. (Strawberry? Traditional? Whatever.) "Well if I have to settle for strawberry then it better have 5 layers at least!" "Don't worry honey, you'll get your beautiful cake." Chuckled link. They walked around Zora's Domain for hours talking about wedding plans. "Well I've got to go now Link. I need to try on wedding dresses. I'll see you later honey bunny." said Ruto as she gave Link a soft kiss on the cheek. "Why don't you go see if your friend from the ranch can come?" "Oh, yeah! I never thought of asking her. I don't know how I could have forgotten." he replied. "Well, bye bye baby." and they both walked off in different directions. *I can't believe I forgot about Malon and her father! I guess it's because I haven't seen them in such a long time!* He followed along the river until he got to Hyrule field. He called his beloved horse, Epona and hopped on her back. They went across the field and through the archway into Lon lon Ranch. He dismounted Epona and went to look for Malon. She was nowhere to be seen outside. He looked in the chicken coop but she wasn't there either. He looked in her room and no one was there. Wait; there was someone there! Malon was curled up on the bed with her long red hair covering her face. She was crying! "Malon..." Link whispered softly. "Malon what's wrong?" "Link? Is that you?" she said turning around. She threw her arms around Link and said "Oh Link! I'm so glad your here!" "What's wrong Malon? Why are you crying?" "Oh Link, Daddy's died!" She moaned and started to cry hysterically. "I woke up yesterday morning and he was lying in the barn. He was as cold as ice Link! He wouldn't move! I screamed for help but none came. Now your here. At least I have a friend." She sobbed, her arms still tight around Link's neck. So Link stayed with her to comfort her. He stayed the night even though he knew Ruto would be furious when he got back. But somehow, he didn't want to go back. He wanted to stay here with Malon for the rest of his life. She was so beautiful. She was also a very kind, generous and loving person. Much more so than Ruto. But he knew that someone as beautiful as Malon, as loving as Malon, deserved better. Much better. He sat there, staring at her. She had such a perfect face and she looked so peaceful as her chest went up and down with the rhythm of her breathing. He gave her a soft kiss before falling asleep himself. That night he had a dream. A rainbow was set across the bright blue sky, but it was a strange rainbow. Its colours were dark and gloomy. Then suddenly the sky turned black. A horrible, sickly shade of black. Thunder, lightning and rain! A flood. The storm raged on and on. Until, a small light appeared, glowing ever brighter until it consumed the entire sky. The storm subsided to leave a beautiful rainbow. A shadow stood under it and said in a familiar voice " A storm is coming, and the storm will end, but along the way, it will wipe out many things, but one thing will remain unbroken. That one sacred thing is..." "Link wake up!" It was Malon. She sounded very urgent. "Link, wake up! Ruto's at the door!" ( She woke him up just in time didn't she?) "Oh shit! Just a minute." He got up, smoothed his hair, and went to the door. "Hi Ruto!" (Little scamp. Hehehe.) "Oh you ass! You had me worried sick! What were you doing here? Why didn't you come home?" Yelled Ruto. "Bye Malon. Sorry about this." said Link unhappily. *Now that I think about it, marrying Ruto may not be such a good idea after all. How could I ever be truly happy with her.* "Now answer me! Were you sleeping with her?!" Yelled Ruto, once they were outside the ranch. "No! Please Ruto, I'm sorry! Her father died the other day and she was upset! I only meant to stay until she fell asleep but I got tired and fell asleep too. Don't get mad!" "So you did sleep with her!" "No I didn't, I slept on the couch. Don't worry Ruto!" said Link. (Don't worry!? He didn't sleep on the couch the liar! Oh well. I guess he was saving Malon's skin as well as his own.) "Oh forgive me Link. I have such a bad temper! I'm sorry. Is she coming though?" "Ummmmm, actually I didn't get a chance to ask. I found her in her room crying. She told me about her father and I would sound pretty mean asking her then." he replied. "Oh that's all right. Ask her later. When you do tell her I'm sorry for acting so Bitchy. Tell her I didn't know." "I will." * But what was that dream about? Was it a prophecy or just a simple dream? And who was that girl and what was she going to say? I guess I'll find out soon enough.*
