Link woke up with a start, he was not all that used to waking up at 4:00a.m. "Damn cucoos" he cursed under his breath. Link was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by a knock at the door, "Who is it" he said. " It's Malon" came the voice, " can I come in?" Link quickly slipped on a tunic, " Well it is your house of course you can" he responded. Soon he saw a red head pop around the door.

Link looked at Malon to see her bright green eyes shimmering, goddesses she has the most beautiful eyes Link thought to himself. Wait what was I just thinking? Oh crap I've got it for Malon. " What if you were naked or something" she asked bringing Link out of his thoughts. " Now see that is a what if question" he said quickly, "the answer relies in what you would do." " Well anyway" Malon said changing the subject, "breakfast will be ready in 20 min. so you have time to take a bath towels are in the bathroom already and I got you some extra cloths" she said throwing some cloths at him. "Yes mom" Link said in a voice that sounded like eight-year-olds.

Malon could not control her self, she tackled link on to the bed and pinned him, " Now what were you saying" she said to Link leaning he head down, red locks of hair falling in her face. Suddenly in a swift movement Link was now pinning Malon down smiling slyly, " I was saying you will now have to beg for forgiveness for daring to attack me THE HERO OF TIME" Link said in a god like voice. Then with out warning he started to tickle Malon. " I....am sor.....sorry" she said between breaths of air. Link jumped her and ran down the stairs, Malon herd a door close ad water start to run. "I'll get him later on today wait and see" Malon said fixing the bed.

=====================================================

It was now late afternoon. Link had been working with Malon all day long to repay her for letting him stay at the ranch. "You know" Malon said, " you really didn't have to help out" she said while putting down a bunch of hay. "Well it would not be very gentlemen like for me not to help." Link responded while brushing down Epona. Malon turned around to say something but stopped, Link had his back facing her now was time for payback. No one tickles me and gets away with it. She thought to herself. Malon silently crept up behind Link with a bucket of water in hand, just as Link was turning around Malon dumped the entire bucket on his head. Link whipped around to find Malon laughing so hard she could have fallen over. " What was that for?" Link asked in total shock, water dripping from his hair. " Payback" was all she said before darting out the open door. "your gonna get it now Malon" Link said before chasing after her.

Talon watched from inside his house as Malon and Link ran out of the barn. In complete happiness. Talon was glad she was happy again, he rembered 8 years ago when Link had to go off and save Hyrule. The day he left and never came back until one day 7 years later. Then he went off again after he beat Ganon leaving Malon alone again.

flashback

******************************************************************

Link and Malon were in the living room talking. Link was still healing from his battle with Ganon. After asking Zelda, Link got to stay in the present time. {A/N: I know it dose not go with the story line for the Majoras Mask but work with me.} They were having a chat when Malon brought up the subject of how long Link would be staying at the ranch. " Well Malon that's what I want to talk about." Link said taking deep breaths sounding very serious. " Tomorrow I'm going to leave to find Navi. There is a country called Termania I think Navi went to so I am going to see." Link finished and Malon just stared at him. Suddenly she flung her self at him and devoured him in to a hug. " Link I'm gonna miss you like hell." she sobbed on his shoulder, " I'll go get a bag of food ready so you are off early tomorrow, the sooner you leave the sooner you can come back." When she looked into his eyes she saw sorrow. She broke eye contact and ran to the kitchen.

That next day was horribly gloomy Talon and Malon saw Link off. " Please come back soon Link" Malon said under her breath. The usual glean was gone from her eyes, it was replaced with a tears. Link rode off on horse back, not looking back. As soon as he was out of sight Malon ran into her room crying, Talon followed her but to no avail she had already locked herself in her room.

The next few days went by. There was no sign of life from Malons' room, until one day Malon came out as if nothing happened. Talon decided not to bring up the subject with his daughter. In reality she was heart broken. " I should have known he did not love me. He could not love a normal farm girl. That's why he left, he did not feel the same why about her that she did him." She thought.

end of flashback

******************************************************************

" For an entire year Malon was slighty depressed. Yes she did smile and laugh sometimes but still she had sorrow in her heart." Talon mumbled to himself. " But since Link has been back it disappeared." Talon walked off to start dinner still happy about the couple that are in love, it's just they don't know it yet.
