Author's Note: I'm sorry it took so long to get this part up. My computer has been
down for 6 entire days! Sorry:(
This story is basically told through Link's POV, unlike the last chapter. But there is a
little snippet of Malon's thought's, too.
I wanna thank a couple of people for reviewing my last story, Bittersweet. Thanx to:
jessie, Robin Wright, Candy, my sis Tootsie, Donovan Feldman, Zelda (), L&MFVR, and
ivy. Thanx for the kind words. A special thanx to Candy for putting me on her fave
author list!!:) Anyway...you can get on to the story now.
Disclaimers: I do not own Zelda, althoug I see now point in saying this because no one
will ever bother a little 13 yr. old girlie, such as I.
***********************************************************************
Link sat up in his bed, as the sun shone brightly into his eyes. "Holy Din, what
time is it?!" Link ran outside and checked the gossip stone. It read 13:00. 13:00! *Oh no,
Zelda's gonna kill me!* Link thought. *I was suppose to meet her three hours ago!*
Link quickly dressed, pulled on his boots, and ran out of his treehouse. "Hi Link,"
Saria called. " Do you wanna play in the Lost Woods today?" "Can't," Link quickly replied.
"No time for that now. Gotta go meet Zelda. Sorry Saria." Link said this all in one breath.
With that, Link ran out of Kokiri Forest.
In Hyrule Field, Link whipped out his ocarina and played a frantic version of Epona's
Song. True to the song, Epona came trotting faithfully to her master's side.
"Always was a good horse," Link thought out loud. Link looked up and noticed the skies
darkening. I just hope I make it to town before the storm starts, Link thought. He then
mounted Epona, and started toward the castle at full speed.
While on Epona, Link began to think. Zelda's gonna be really mad. Today is
suppose to be my special day, the day I defeated Gannondorf. I'm suppose to be helping
Zelda plan the festival for tonight and help rehearse her speech. I really shouldn't have
gone out to play last night.
Last night, Link had visited the Gerudo Horseback Archery. It was only suppose to
be a visit, but somehow, Link ended up recieving challenges from all the Gerudo women. He
took them all up, of course. He also got a perfect score every time. Still, the challenges lasted
until midnight. And by the time for him to travel home, Epona was wiped out from the archery,
making her go at half the speed she usually went. Link couldn't blame her. She had done a
wonderful job back there. But, then it started to drizzle, making what was suppose to be a
half-and-hour trip, two hours. It was two in the morning before Link finally got home.
Just then, it began to pour. Really hard. Epona started to slow down. *Geez, now
Zelda will be furious,* Link thought.
It was funny how gossippers said Link and Zelda had a 'thing' between them. In truth,
nothing was going on at all. Link only saw Zelda as a friend. He had discussed it with Zelda and
she felt exactly the same way. Besides, Link really wasn't Zelda's type. She was a great person
and all, but he did find many flaws in her.
First of all, she was a perfectionist. She was always trying to be perfect, and never
made any rash decisions. Link knew this was a good quality for a queen, but it took Zelda practically
a year to make simple decisions, like whether she wanted to go to the gardens or the stables. She
had to loosen up a bit. She was always worried about the consequences and never acted on impulse.
She had had to learn how to live for the moment and have some fun. Also, going places with Zelda
sometimes got to complicated. Impa got overprotective once in a while, and sent an escort. It was
impossible to joke around with Zelda when a third party was present. But then again, this wasn't
Zelda's fault. And Zelda didn't like hard labor. She always had servants running about, doing whatever
she bid them. Link had always imagined a wife who was willing to cook a nice meal for him with her
own two loving hands.
Princess Zelda was very pretty, gorgeous in fact. But the thing is, Link really didn't go for
blond girls. It wasn't only Zelda, but all blond girls. Link knew it sounded stupid and shallow, but he
couldn't help it. You see, when he was younger, Link always use to stare at his reflection in the little
pond at Kokiri Village. He use to despise his blond hair. Not many Kokirians had blond hair, giving one
more thing to set Link apart from the others. This also gave Mido another reason to make fun of him.
Whenever he saw blond hair, Link was constantly reminded of his harsh childhood. And Link refused
to wake up every morning next to a lliving symbol of his dreaded past.
Thinking of Princess Zelda, Link urged Epona to go faster. Epona galloped as fast as her four,
tired legs could take her. She was still a bit winded from last night's ride. *Oh goddesses, now I have
to deal with Her Haughtyness's royal temper... Geez, sometimes
I wish I never met that annoying little...*
Suddenly, a lightning bolt crashed right in front of Link, causing Epona to panic and
throw Link off. Epona then tried to get away, but intsead, ended up tripping on a rock, hurting
her ankle.
There was no way Link was ever going to make it to the castle, now. He looked around
for a place of refuge. Kakariko was too far away now, and it was impossible for Link to turn
back to Kokiri. The closest thing in sight was Lon Lon Ranch. Link sighed. He had no other choice.
Link started to lead Epona slowly in the direction of the ranch.
***********************************************************************
*Geez, this place sure hasn't changed,* Link thought to himself. It had been two
entire years since Link set foot on Lon Lon Ranch, yet it felt like yesterday. Everything was
the way it was when he left this place of memories.
All Link had wanted was a horse. A simple horse. Instead, what he got was a
dazzling girl, with a flaming red mane, with skin as beautiful as rose petals, and laughter
that sang as sweetly as his ocarina. He thought of that sweet, innocent smile playing on
her lips. Link remembered those sparkling, deep, blue eyes, staring up at him adoringly.
Two years. Two years since that wonderful day, and here Link was, reliving it all over
again in his mind.
This girl was the most gorgeous creature Link had ever set eyes on. Yet, she
was the most intense, confusing, defiant, and strong-willed soul, Link had ever met.
This girl had stirred up emotions inside of Link. Emotions that Link had never known
existed inside of him before. It was confusing to go to sleep one day, as ten-year-old,
then wake up to find that you are seven years older, a full grown man. No one had ever
taught Link about attraction to the opposite sex. He had to wait after Gannondorf's defeat
until Rauru bashfully explained the "birds and the bees." The timing really didn't help him
with his situation with "her". He was raised among the Kokiri, who never married or
showed romantic affection toward one another. They were children and would forever be
children, until the goddesses decided that it was time for the after-life. All these new feelings
were strange to Link. And it scared the hell out of him.
So, instead of doing what he usually did when stuck in a situation, he bailed. The
next day, he came back, got Epona, and left. He left, looking back only once. It was the
most unmanly thing Link had ever done in his life. How is it that he, the almighty Hero of
Time, who had defeated all seven temples, the evil Gannondorf, and even Gannondorf's
reincarnated form, could not deal with his own feelings?
Link left avoiding all his feelings. Besides, he had other things to worry about, like
how to get through those stupid temples without being sent to the afterlife. Even so, after
every victory, Link felt that he should go back go back to her. He pushed away all those urges
to return to the ranch into the back of his mind. The more he did it, the easier it was to
ignore these feelings. But that didn't mean that Link forgot. No, he would never forget.
Sometimes, she still haunted him in his dreams, when nobody else was there.
It was funny how Link had never found reason to come to this ranch. He had
avoided it like the plague, not wanting to deal with explaining why he had not come back
and all the guilt. In the year since he restored peace to Hyrule, Link had been to every part
of the land, one time or another. Except Lon Lon Ranch. Now, here he was being forced into
this situation.
Link's thoughts came to a halt when he approached two buildings, one on each
side. It was storming, so obviously nobody would be outside in the corral. If Link
remembered correctly, the right was the stables, and the left was the house. Since Epona
was injured, the stables was the place to go. He jumped of Epona and opened the door slowly.
He took a step in and closed the door softly behind him.
And there Malon was, just as beautiful as Link had remembered her. Link was
mesmerized by the sight of her. She was mucking out the stables, but she did it so
gracefully, without complaint. Obviously she must have been daydreaming while doing this,
or else she would have nopticed Link's entrance. He took two steps foward, but Malon
didn't seem to hear. Link then remebered that his footsteps were silent, impossible for
the common ear to pick up.
Link opened his mouth to clear his throat, but just then Malon stopped moving.
Her attention was directed to one of the horses. She took out a carrot out of her pocket,
feeding it to the mare with care. Link was overwhelmed with confusion, wondering how
Epona had gotten in the stables.
Link suddenly remembered that day two years ago. He had come on lucky day.
Epona's mother had gone into labor, and Link had helped with the delivery. Malon had
named the colt Penny, for her shining, copper coat. Malon had laughed, and said one day,
Penny would be the spitting image of her older sister. *So, this is Epona's sister,* Link thought.
Link's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden crash of thunder. Penny jumped up,
neighing, and Malon dropped her shovel and rushed toward the frieghtened horse.
*She'll get killed!!!* Link's mind screamed. So he rushed foward, ready to hold Malon back.
But Malon had Penny under control in an instant. Link should have remebered that Malon
was the best horse trainer in the land. She had inherited her traits from her late mother.
So insted he bent down to pick up the shovel she had dropped.
In a flash, their eyes met. Link gazed into hers, first seeing suprise and confusion,
then wonder and awe...
***********************************************************************
"O my Godesses!!" Malon gasped. Then she calmed down. "Is it really you?"
It was not very easy, to be dreaming of someone one minute, and have him
appear out of nowhere, the next. Malon was not sure how to react.
"Ummm...by any chance, could you help me?" Link asked.
*Help him??* Malon thought. *He wants me to help him?! After all the pain this
man had caused my poor soul? Yeah, right!* Malon then felt immedialty ashamed. This
was a person coming to her in need, and here she was holding grudges. This wasn't like her.
This wasn't like her at all.
*Well what do you expect when he lets you fall in love with him, leaves without
saying goodbye, breaking your heart? Does he expect you welcome him with open arms?
Get real!* The voice was talking in Malon's head.
*But he might have not have known he led
me on*, another voice inside Malon shouted back. *It could have been an innocent mistake.
It's probably all my fault for assuming too much.*
*Your fault?! How is any of this your fault? Just tell him to get the hell off of your
ranch!* The other voice screamed back. *But what if he's hurt, or something's wrong? I
can't be so cold. And I've been waiting for him to come back all this time. I can't just
turn him away now!* This was a war going on in Malon's head.
Meanwhile, Malon glanced up and saw Link awaitng and answer. In the end,
Malon's sweet disposition won. "Sure, what's wrong?"
"It's my horse, Epona. I think she sprained her ankle or something. She needs to
be examined and I have no idea how to do it."
"Oh! Epona! Penny's sister! Of course! bring her around to the wide stable doors
in the corral. I'll go open it up," Malon answered.
See, it wasn't so bad, the good voice in her head began. Yeah, that's what he
wants us to think. Be careful, he might just do it all over again.
********************************************************************
"It's not that bad," Malon said. "She just sprained a muscle. She should take it easy
for awhile, though. What Epona needs is some rest and some TLC. It'll take a few days
for her to be back to her good ol' self again. I suggest you leave her here at the stables."
Link was truly grateful. "Thank you. You have no idea how much Epona means to me."
"Oh, I probably do. You must love Epona the same way I love Penny. The
problem is, Epona looks really tired. Have you been pushing her too hard lately?"
Gosh, now Link really felt stupid. It was true, in the middle of all this madness
for the celebration, and having all his fun, he never thought about the welfare of his horse.
Just the other day, he was trying to get Epona over the bridge in the Lost Woods, just to
prove to the Kokiri that he really had a horse. And Link knew horses had a horrible phobia
of bridges. Epona refused to go, Link had slapped the reins all day, but she wouldn't budge.
She must have been terrified. *How could I have been so selfish and cruel,* Link asked himself.
*It's all my fault.*
Epona was feeding and petting Epona. Link just stood there and watched. There
was this awkward silence between them. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever.
Finally, Link could stand the quiet no longer.
Link tried to start up conversation. "So...ummm...Penny's gotten really big, don't you think?"
Instanly, Link felt like a retard. Of course Malon would know that Penny's grown, she raised her.
"Yup, she has," Malon replied.
There was silence again. And more silence. *Why didn't she say anything,* Link wondered.
"I remember the day Penny was born. Remember when you said Penny would turn out like Epona?
Well, you were right."
Instantly, Link regretted making that statement. The two were immediately pulled
back to that day, two years ago. The both of them, reminiscing over the same experiences.
Then Malon asked the dreaded question.
"Link," she asked quietly.
"Yeah," Link answered back."
"Why didn't you ever come back that day?" Malon questioned.
*Dammit, this is exactly what I feared,* Link thought. He was thrown off by the question,
and Malon knew it. He tried to cover up hid frazzledness.
"Well...umm...you see...umm..............................."
And that's all for now.
I know it's really short, but I wanna save this for the next story.
