(Author's note: Okay my little chickadees; it's time for some actual
original plot! Gasp! This new plot takes place approx. a year after Ganon
was sealed away. Princess Zelda is now ruling Hyrule, and basically
everything is back to normal.)
If I see another pink flitty thing, I will scream, Ruto thought. Oh Ruto, Saria had said, did you know that if you tapped a butterfly with a branch, it will turn into a magical fairy? No, Ruto hadn't known, and tiny Saria with her enormous and extremely enthusiastic eyes had made it seem so inviting. So Ruto, with nothing better to do, found a branch and smacked a butterfly. Poof! Fairies! Fairies _everywhere_. And not only were they everywhere, they were enamored with Ruto for changing them. Ruto hadn't minded at first, in fact, she found downright Sage-y with a troop of colored light balls following her every move. But now it was just tiring. So, she escaped, diving down to the depths of Lake Hylia where only the strongest fairies could survive.
Mili, her dear friend, was ecstatic to see her. When they first saw each other again, Mili enveloped her in a crushing hug. They had spent several days catching up and simply enjoying each other's company. But after the novelty wore of, Ruto was left with a nagging feeling of boredom, as well as an odd sense that her time was running out. But, time for what?
"Ruto, sweetheart, I'm sorry, but if I see you staring out into space like a lost cow, I am going to have to slap you!" Mili said angrily one day. "What? Oh, I, I'm sorry Mili, I just get to thinking sometimes," Ruto replied lamely. "Thinking?" asked Mili, "about what? What needs that much thinking?" Ruto shook her head and looked away. Mili sat down next to her, and turned her face so they were looking at each other. "What's been bothering you, Ruto? I don't like seeing you look like you're fading away." Ruto swallowed. "I don't know how to say this," she stalled, gathering up some courage, "but this Peace thing, this Nothing To Do Except Be A Sage thing, is so frustrating. There's nothing to do with myself anymore, since all the Evil has been eradicated from Hyrule by my Hero of Time-" "Wait," Mili said, "did you just say '_my_ hero of time'? Are you _still_ in love with Link?" Ruto nodded. "And it's more than that. I'm beginning to feel like I need to settle down and have children, but, if I can't be with Link and have his children, then what's the point?" Mili listened, looking thoughtful, then threw an arm around Ruto, laughing. "So, you want to have Link's children??" "Yes." "Well, water-baby, do it! He obviously cares about you, or he wouldn't have risked his life to save your people! And, if it wasn't for your being a Sage, you two would've been married already, right?" Ruto nodded. "And now I know that being a Sage barely takes any of my time!" She caught Mili's mood, laughing with her. "We'll do it then!" Mili declared. "All we need to do is waiting for mating season and in no time there will be bouncing baby Linklings all over the place!"
