Two days later, Harmony sat in a small coffee chop in a sweet little village by a beautiful lake. She sat watching the small waves as they rolled by.

*Those waves.* She thought, *Do they dream of going to the ocean? Is there someplace where waves go when they crash on the shore? Do they go back to the middle and start over? Does everything have a spirit that is crushed with no hope of returning when it has fulfilled it's purpose in this place, or is no longer needed?* She shook her head and giggled, *Or am I thinking too much into things?*

She sighed and sipped her coffee, enjoying its feverous taste. The sun was just setting into the hills of Lake Hylia on the end of that second day. Along with it came the end of the gently sloping waves; silent in their rise, as in their descent. It was the first time since she'd come here that Harmony's mind had been on something other than the cute boy she'd met in the market town.

*I guess I shouldn't have run out on him* She pondered taking another drink. *He probably thought I was loony.*

There was something about him...

It was almost sad.

Like behind his cheerful eyes he was hiding something painful.

His past, maybe?

Whatever it was, it made me want to find out.

Is that why I keep thinking about him?

Harmony's thoughts were interrupted by a clatter in the background. Someone had dropped the dishes all over the ground, rendering them shattered into a million pieces.

She let out another long discontented sigh, paid for her drink, and exited the shop. She mounted her horse, still dreaming of the devilishly cute young man of whom she barely knew, when a voice stopped her.

"I'm surprised to see you here. You left in such a hurry the other day, I thought you be halfway to Termina by now."

She whirled around, coming face to face with Ryan. It only took a few seconds for a deep dark, pink color to emerge on her cheekbones. He smiled, and the white of his teeth nearly sent her blind.

"Oh, no... I mean, well..."

*Great. Be more obvious about it Harmony* She scolded herself, shaking her head out of silly thoughts.

"I just meant that I had somewhere to be, and I was late, that's all... yeah."

"You're not a very good liar you know?" He laughed, and her heart nearly jumped out of her throat, through her mouth and onto the ground. She could see it now, the disgusted look in Ryan's face as blood squirted onto his shiny boots. He would yell something like, "GROSS! And I JUST BOUGHT THESE TOO!!" All the while, Harmony would be on her knees, dying, gasping slowly, all because of those stupid hormones.

Instead, the feeling came over her that she shouldn't be with him. She tried to shake it off, but something just told her not to get involved. Some premonition took over her entire body like she wasn't in control anymore.

"Gotta go!" She yelled, mounting her horse again in one swift movement and taking off to the gate. Ryan, surprised as ever, climbed his own horse and galloped after her. The wind, chilling as the sun set deeper to the other side of the planet, bit at her like ice crystals. The moon crept over the surface of the western hills. Harmony rode faster and faster back to Kakariko village, unaware that anyone was following her.

She tied the creature up to the tree outside the city and ran up the steps. She crept as silently as she could through the town, ignoring the looks the people gave her. She opened the door to inn and who stood there other than Ryan himself?!

"EEPS!" She yelped and ran out the door, followed again closely by the handsome boy who grabbed onto her hand and she scampered through the buildings. She whirled around to meet him face to face, ignoring the feeling she had to continue running. The first thought that came to mind was, "Man he's just the perfect height!"

He looked into her eyes, and half-heartedly asked her, "Why do you keep running away?" The moon had risen higher to the sky, and highlighted his chiseled, rough looks perfectly in the faint light it gave off.

"I don't know," she answered trying once again to pull away. "I can't explain it. I don't WANT to, but something tells me not to see you anymore!"

Ryan raised his eyebrow and looked into her eyes that appeared frightened, and the last thing but calm, while he on the other hand was curious. Without thinking, he pressed his lips to hers and pulled her closer to him. Harmony's eyes became the size of watermelons, and the feeling got stronger and stronger to get away from him. But at the same time it felt good. His warmth surrounded her, and slowly she grasped onto both his hands and held him back. The villagers had all gone inside for the night, so all that accompanied them was the lull of crickets cheering them on, and the night sky welcoming them with its blurred light. His lips were soft and warm, exactly what she'd imagined them to be. A slow smile came over her face, and all remnants of the dread had nearly disappeared. Apparently, it had given up. Ryan detected the happiness on her face and drew away.

"Will you meet me again? Tomorrow?" He asked, a boyish grin spreading across his face like a young boy.

She beamed and nodded her head, giving him a kiss and heading back to the inn.

"Tomorrow," came the reply, "Meet me at that coffee shop by the lake. 6:00. Don't be late."

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

Together they sat by the Lake, sipping drinks and sharing with each other. Although neither of them said much about their pasts. Ryan didn't utter one single word about his father, Link, and the feat he ad accomplished. Harmony, on the other hand, had much more to keep secret.

"What are you doing here in Hyrule anyway?" He asked her.

*Uh oh*

"Well, my family has been on my case for awhile that I need to see more of the world and broaden my horizons. So I came here to do a little tourist work." A forced laugh came out pretty well from her mouth and she smiled at him.

*That should suit him, right? What am I supposed to tell him? I had dreams of a guy claiming to be my dad so I accidentally killed everyone in the town I live in, AFTER I stole the orb treasure from the sacred temple and escaped to Hyrule to release this guy whose supposedly my father but there's no way to tell for sure.*

Even when she thought of it like that, she wasn't so sure what she was doing here anyway. But, no matter how small the chance, she wanted to find out about her past.

They sat and laughed together, smiled together, and shared together. Both of them completely sure that the other was being completely honest with them. If they didn't meet one day, they met the next, until both of them went completely head over heels.

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

Two weeks went by, Harmony hadn't had a single dream for the entire time. While she tried to concentrate on her newfound love, thoughts kept turning the real reason she was here. She found feelings for finding her past, while seemed when she was with Ryan to diminish, they increased when they weren't with each other.

Ryan kissed her slowly as they sat atop a hill watching the sun set.

"I love you," he whispered, and she repeated the words in his hear as his lips met her cheek. He stood up, and pulled her close to him, grasping her hands in his and they danced to music that existed only in their imaginations. They only thing that existed in that moment was the other, staring deep into eyes that loved wholeheartedly.

"Let's stay here all night." Harmony whispered in his ear as his body pressed against hers, drawing her into his warmth and the sensation of love bonded them together in that very moment.

As the moon rose higher in the sky, they laid down to sleep. As cold as it had been in recent nights, neither of them was cold. They had each other.

Halfway through the night, Harmony awoke with a jolt, as if a surge of electricity had just passed through her entire body. She sat up and looked at her surroundings. She could see Death Mountain off in the distance, and the Lon Lon ranch below her. In the mist of the darkness, she could faintly make out the edges of the castle and the market. The sun was nowhere near close to rising, and dull, gloomy clouds covered the only light the moon had given them earlier.

Ryan still lay next to her, sound asleep.

Harmony stood up, slightly confused, with a sense of alarm quickly coming over her entire self. In the darkness, a faint light appeared in the distance and grew bigger as it drew closer. The light, as she could see with it's approach was actually the form of a man. A man in dark armor, and red hair.

It was the man from her dream.

"Harmony," he said, with a deep, masculine voice, "Now is the time to stop. Save me Harmony, I need your help. I'm imprisoned here. The only one that can free me is you. If you want to know about your past, prepare yourself."

She woke up.
