It had been almost seven years since Talon had been forced to leave Lon Lon Ranch. His daughter Malon had grown bitter inside, but hide her grief behind a cheery outersphere. The red-headed beauty was drowned by the many chores she was forced to perform by her angry step-father Ingo. But today she had the opportunity to leave the Ranch for a day.

"And be careful Malon, I don't want any angry customers! That wont make Ganondorf happy. And make sure they pay in full." Ingo scowled as he sent Malon on her mission. His once unruly mustache and tattered clothes were now gallant and handsome. His rewards had gone to his head.

"I will, don't worry. Ganondorf will be happy with our sales." Malon answered balnkly as she rode into Hyrule Field.

The wind blew past her hair and she grew rapt in her thoughts. Little did she now the horse she was ridding had grow old, and he could no longer handle the journey to the many villages of Hyrule. His leg snapped and the horse faltered, throwing Malon foward. The crates of milk flew through the air and crashed to smitherines. Milk soaked the dirt and Malon was knocked unconcious. Her face was dirtied and the horse's leg bled and it neighed for help, but it was too late.

"Miss, are you okay? Miss?" An urgent voice rang in Malon's ears.

"Huh? What happened? Where am I?" Malon wearily wiped her face.

"Um, in Kakariko Village. I found you and your horse in Hyrule Field."

When her eyes began to focus, she saw that the voice belonged to a man with the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. He was dressed in a green oufit, and he wore a pointed hat.

"Who--who are you?" Malon was soon under a spell of the sapphire eyes.

"How could you not remember me? You must be hungry. Want some fried cucco?" The man smiled and offered her a plate.

"My horse! Where is my horse?! The milk?!" Malon handed back the plate. "I'm not hungry, I just want to know what happened." Her eyes looked longingly into the man's.

"I'm not so sure what happened, but your horse's leg is broken severely, he is sleeping with a cow at the Great Impa's house." The boy handed back the chicken but Malon shook her head.

"The milk?" Her eyes began to tear.

"When I found you, you were surrounded by broken glass." The man looked at his feet. "I'm sorry,"

"It's okay...I just want to go home. Good-bye, thanks for helping me." Malon sighed and walked across the room. It looked familiar. "Have we met before?"

The man chuckled. "Yes, I've helped you out before. I'll let you remember me on your own."

"Okay, bye." She left the village ready to meet her fate with her horrible "step-father" Ingo, and all the while, a funny feeling of deja-vu crept over her.

A/N: This started out kinda fluffy and now it's getting kinda sad! :'(. But don't worry, it'll get happy again soon. ^^
