Past and Present
Sigh.
The memories.
The memories we've shared.
It's all coming to an end now.
As I'm standing here, after my fight with Ganondorf, I look at her.
She looks back.
I stare at her eyes.
Those eyes.
I remember...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Today is going to be great.
I'm going to teach Zelda how to use the bow and arrow.
It's been a few days now since we've met, and I suggested that I train her a little, like self-defence whenever she gets into trouble.
So what if I'm only 10? I could be a good teacher sometimes. Once I taught Saria how to sword-fight a little.
Saria.
Saria's one of my best friends.
Actually she's my only best friend, out of the few friends I have.
I hope to be best friends with Zelda too.
Right now, we're only friends.
Then again, I don't know how Zelda feels about me.
She could hate me for all I know.
As I wait for Zelda's arrival here near Lon-Lon Ranch, I think to myself.
Does she hate me?
My thoughts are interrupted by someone clearing their throat.
I look up to see that Zelda was there, with Impa behind her.
"How long were you standing there?" I ask her.
"Not too long, I had just arrived. Were you planning on sitting there all day?"
I roll my eyes.
"Come on, let's get going. Umm... are you coming, Impa?" Ok, so I'm still kinda sorta...well, scared of Impa.
"No, I just came with Zelda to see that she safely made it here. I trust you will bring her back to the castle before sunset." And with that she left. I was kinda relieved.
I lead Zelda to a tree next to the entrance to the ranch and take out my bow and arrows.
"Ok, first we're going to practice your form," I start.
"Don't I already have excellent form?" she interrupts.
Sigh.
She's still got that her little Princessy mind about her.
"No no no...you're form for archery!" I say exasperatedly. I get into my "Archery Position" as I like to call it.
"Ok, first, you have to string your bow, like this," I show her, "then, you aim at your target," I aim at the little target I set up earlier, "then pull back...and shoot!"
I shoot at the target and get pretty close to a bulls eye.
"Ok, now you try it!" I hand her the bow and arrows.
"I...don't know..." she started.
"Come on! I bet you can do better than me when I first started out. I couldn't even hit the target!" I laugh at the old memory.
"Ok," she said. She took the bow and arrows and did exactly what I told her to do. She aims, pulls back the arrow, shoots.......and gets a bulls eye!
I gape at her in shock.
She looks at me.
"Wow...I got a...what's it called? A bulls eye? On my first try too! Wait...why are you looking at me like that?" she stares at me confused.
"Umm...no reason..." I manage to say back. I had never gotten a bulls eye before, and I was more experienced than her.
"Well, I guess...that ends our lesson for today..." I say to her, still in shock.
She giggles at me.
"Your face...it's so funny!" she laughs.
I slowly begin to laugh with her.
We look at each other.
I look at her eyes. They're laughing along with the rest of her face.
Then I realized...
That...I liked her...
