Oh yeah, and this story is set after Link is sent back through time after OOT. Everything happens differently because Link never visited certain places. Like, as an example:
Link never visited Kakariko and never helped the chicken lady. So she may have gotten a guard to help her, and they might have fallen in love. So now the chicken lady has two kids, and the two kids are playing with the boy that's always in the graveyard, so now he's never in the graveyard. Now that Dampe is completely alone, he wanders around in the graveyard in the daytime, thinking that no one can see him. One of the chicken lady's kids wanders into the graveyard, and sees Dampe. She spreads a rumor about a graveyard ghost (Really it's Dampe, but she's just a kid), so now a brave man investigates. He's one of the carpenters. He sees Dampe and runs, but he trips and falls into the well. He dies. So now that the carpenters are short one guy, the Archery Shop that should have been built in the future has to be smaller, and it turns out to be a restaurant. Now that this restaurant is built, not as many people will starve, and Kakariko's population gets bigger!
Because Link didn't visit, the population is now bigger, and someone is dead. See what I mean? Oops...I got carried away. On with the story!
P.S. Majora's Mask never happens. Navi is found in Hyrule, so Link stays. And Link has met Malon before.

Chapter Two
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Marin woke up to the sound of a grumpy cucco. She had been having that dream again...It was a terrible nightmare that she had been having for a while.
"YOU WERE LATE WITH MY SUPPER!" Screeched the ugly, pigeon-toed man in front of her. His dark brows were drawn together, making his red face look even more repulsive. A whip, originally for horses, was clenched in his hairy fists. He lashed out with it, and she screamed in pain. "Ingo, can you be more quiet up there? I'm tryin' to rest!" A man called sleepily from downstairs. He had no idea...She thought miserably, causing several tears to roll down her face. "Why are you crying? It was your own fault, you piece of horse shit!" The evil man screamed. She closed her eyes and steeled herself as the whip struck her again.
It was so strange...What could have triggered this? And why was she so sad that the sleepy man in her dream didn't notice that the ugly guy was beating her? As far as she knew, she had lived here all of her sixteen years with her two loving parents.
Marin skipped downstairs for breakfast. Flapjacks were laid out on the table, with syrup glistening on them. "Wow, Mama, flapjacks! Thank you!" She said earnestly. Her brown-haired mother laughed and ruffled Marin's red hair fondly. "I know you love them, sweetheart." Marin sat down and enjoyed the flapjacks to their fullest.
"Here, Marin, can you go buy some milk for me? The potion shop's all out, so you'll have to go to Lon Lon Ranch." Her mother handed her fifty rupees and hugged her tightly. "Don't get lost, honey. Be back by nightfall." Marin kissed her mother on the cheek and walked out the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The lovely redhead strolled along Hyrule's lush plains. Her feet guided her, seeming to know the way. But Marin was too immersed in her thoughts to notice. A vision was appearing in her head. She might have called it a flashback, but she never remembered it happening to her.
A boy was standing in front of her. She kept singing, pretending not to notice him. He stuttered out a greeting, and her blue eyes opened slowly. She grinned happily, and giggled. He shifted nervously, adjusting his green tunic, and a fairy flew out of his hat. Throwing her red hair aside, she spoke for the first time. "Oh-it's the fairy boy!"
Who was the fairy boy? He had a name...She was sure of it. When had she met him? He was cute...
Without noticing, Marin walked right into the ranch. Looking around, she had a creepy thought. I've been here before...Then she saw a horse corral. She hesitated, then stepped into it. All of a sudden she had a blinding headache. She staggered back, clutching her head. When her vision cleared, she gazed around the corral, her eyes resting on a strange sight.
A small redheaded girl stood in the middle of the corral, singing. A little boy in a green tunic approached her, shyly. "Um-uh...h-hello..." The little girl kept singing. The little boy shifted uncomfortably, and the girl's eyes fluttered open. "Oh-it's the fairy boy!" The boy smiled and blushed. "W-what song are you singing?" He asked, trying to start a conversation. "This is a song that my mother composed. Do you like it? We could sing it together!" The girl replied. "Uh- I'm not as good at singing as you are..." The boy stammered, and pulled out an ocarina. "What a cute ocarina!" The little girl exclaimed. "Here, I'll teach you the song." She offered. He put the ocarina to his lips in reply. She sang the song, and he repeated it. Then they performed together, ocarina and voice mixing together and filling the air.
Suddenly, the two figures faded out of the corral. Marin was left alone, shivering. She knew that she had been here, but when? And somehow, she knew the song that the girl and boy had performed. It started to play in her head, but she shook it away and ran from the ranch like ghosts were chasing her.
