Author's Note: This one's one of my favorites! It isn't really sad, it's kinda funny!

" Kintajo, can you take this bottle and throw it into the village?" Saria held out a bottle and jammed a letter inside.

" Sure, just what is it for?"

" I already told you, to have my friends visit."

" Okay! See ya!" Kintajo raced out of the temple and made his way to the Lost Woods entrance.

Back in the Kokiri Forest, a small boy with black hair, was walking outside the Lost Woods when...

" I wonder where Saria is, I really miss that smiling face of hers."

" Psst."

" Who...who's there?"

" Kintajo's my name, doing stuff for Saria's my game!"

" Saria, you know Saria?!"

" Sure do! Hey kid, what's your name?"

" Tomi, Tomi Tikado."

" Very nice, take this kid, it's from Saria." Kintajo handed Tomi the bottle.

" What is it?" Tomi turned toward the the Skull Kid, but he had vanished into the Lost Woods.

" MIDO!!!!!!!!!" Tomi screamed while running to Mido's house.

" What is it Tomi?!" Mido asked while covering his aching hears.

" Look." 

" A bottle? Let's open it." Mido carefully opened the top and pulled out the letter.        " Let's see here...it's from Saria!!!!!!"

" What does it say? What does it say?" Tomi jumped up and down.

" Mido, is that from Saria?"

" Is Saria hurt?"

" Is she alive?"

" What happened to her?"

" Tell us what she wrote!"

All of the Kokiri gathered around Mido as he read.

Hey guys! This is Saria, no kidding, it's really me! No, I'm not dead, I'm the Forest Sage and am in the Forest Temple. If you want to visit me, go through the Lost Woods and find the Sacred Forest Meadow. Once your there, go through the maze and up the stairs. I built a ladder, with Kintajo's help, for you. I miss you guys!

Love Always,

Saria Kokiri

" Saria! I can't believe she's okay!" Nancy, Saria's red headed friend yelled.

" This is great, now we can go see her!" Dori, Saria's blond friend with two buns in her hair, announced.

All of the Kokiri were discussing their ideas when Mido decided to speak.

" There will be no visiting Saria."

" What?! How could you say something like that?!" Tomi screamed in frustration.

" Do any of you know how to get to the Sacred Forest Meadow?"

" No," everyone replied in unison.

" Ever since Saria left, the Lost Woods has been infested with monsters. If we knew where the Forest Temple was located, you know, the directions to the meadow, maybe we could go. If we were to get lost, which is very likely, we would become Skull Kids!"

" That's just a rumor!" Tomi yelled.

" End of discussion!" Mido stormed off to his house and slammed the door behind him.

Tears streamed down his face as he slid down the back of the door. His body was shaking and his tears would not stop.

" Saria, I'm sorry."

End of Flash Back...

" So, even though Mido wanted to see you, he thought of the Kokiri's safety first," Link said trying to sum it up.

" Right, he didn't want them to get hurt."

" I don't understand Saria. Is there more to the story?"

" Yes there is, but I don't really want to have to think about it again."

" Okay, that's fine!"

Saria was surprised with Link's response and tilted her head upward to face him.

" I guess you can already figure that one out."

" Well not exactly!"

" So I guess I'll have to explain it to you."

" Will you? I know it's painful to think about, but I need to know."

" Sure, I'll do it, but under one condition!"

" What?"

" After this, we never have another talk like this again."

" Deal!"

" Alright I'll explain it to you."
