Disclaimer: Hi, it's MoonRider, I would be sorry for not updating but I have a perfectly valid reason. You really don't wanna hear about the melodrama in my life though. Note to all reviewers though, if you review my story, could you actually read my story? "I didn't read you story but would you go review mine?" just doesn't cut it. Wait, what was the point of this again? O yeah, not mine. By the way, the "Catalian Informant" is just a newspaper.

Sunlight streamed through the parted curtains of Link's bedroom but they were too late. The young warrior was already lacing up his boots, his floppy hat lying of top on his golden hair. A low yawn escaped his lips, stretching his arms above his head. Outside his window, he could already see a family of robins chirping away on a branch of the great oak tree growing next to the house. With hi honey blond locks hanging in his eyes, Link traipsed down the hallway, the aroma of pancakes sizzling in the kitchen below found their way to his nose.

As Link passed the guest room, he gently pressed his ear against the thick wooden door. He didn't hear a single sound. 'Adele must still be sleeping' he thought to himself finally. Continuing on his way. Moving down the hallway to stop at Siler's doorway, Link entered without knocking, knowing from experience it would make no difference. There on the bed lay his little brother, sheets on the floor, pillow under his arm, snoring the hours away. Or at least, for now.

"Hey little bro! It's time to wake up!" Link yelled, shaking Siler's body. His head bobbing back and forth and back and forth on his neck but he still somehow managed to keep snoring. "Siler! I thought you wanted me to teach you how to ride today!"

Suddenly, Siler sat straight up, his right arm raised in a fist above his head. "I'll kill it!" he declared right before dropping flat on his back again and resuming his snoring. 'Well, what else are big brother's for?' Link said to himself, an evil smirk spreading across his face and a sparkle glinting in his cerulean colored eyes.



"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! THAT'S COOOOOOOOOLD!!!!!!!!!!!" came a yell from upstairs.

"Well Siler's up." Link's mother informed her husband with a smile.

"Oh really? I hadn't noticed Catrine." He said, still reading the Catalian Informant.

"Oh be quiet James." Catrine replied, lifting her nose in the air, trying to be condescending but failing as a fit of laughter erupted from her.

"Well at least Link was kind enough to use COLD water this time."

"Nice but nothing!" wailed Siler, plopping himself in a chair at the kitchen table.

"Well I am teaching you how to ride today aren't I?" Link said, ruffling his silver hair affectionately, seating himself across the table, next to his father.

"You are?!?!" screamed the little boy, said, leaning over the table to stare Link straight in the eye.

"Yes" came the cool reply.

"YEESSSS!" came Siler's yell as he stood on the table, throwing his fists into the air, then doing what Link assumed was a victory dance.

"Sit down before you hurt yourself" Catrine replied, forcing him back onto his chair and setting a plate of eggs and crisp bacon in front of both her boys. "What about that young girl?" she asked, turning her attention to Link now.

'Adele'. Link hadn't thought about her since he woken from his dreams. If he didn't know better, he'd say she was a fallen angel. 'Maybe even a princess' he thought to himself. "Oh right, Adele. We should probably let her rest. Moblins are very dangerous. I'm actually surprised she managed to finish it off with the amount of light she had", was all he said to his family though.

"Uhuh, uhu now can we go now?" Siler said, his cheeks still filled with egg.

"Sure, why not kiddo?" he said, tossing him over his shoulder and heading out the door.

"I'm gonna learn to ride!" the little boy yelled, waving from over his big brother's shoulder. "I'm gonn-"the door slamming shut, cutting of the rest of the chatter.

"We sure got lucky didn't we Catrine?" James said, putting his arm around his wife's waist and pulling her close.

"Yes we did James, yes we did." She replied touching her nose to his, a gentle smile on her lips.



Link was very surprised to see the Adele in pen in the backyard, feeding her horse an apple.

"You shouldn't be up yet."

"What?" exclaimed Zelda, a bit startled at the sudden intrusion.

"You should be resting, or you should at least have breakfast before." Link said, Siler still slung over his shoulder, with his arms still punching the air in victory.

"Oh, I'm fine really." She said, a smile lighting her face. Link noticed she spoke with a bit of a court accent. But it couldn't be, or else she wouldn't have been traveling by herself. "Am I interrupting something?" Zelda asked, tilting her head a bit.

"Oh no. I'm just gonna teach Siler to ride today." He said a bit nervously.

"Well may I help?"

"Oh, of course, if you want to that is!" Link said in a rush, taking a deep gulp of air.

"I want to, I assure you."

"Well, could you just watch him while I go put a saddle on Epona?"

"I'd love to." "Adele" replied taking Siler by the hand and while Link put a saddle with shorter stirrups on Epona, Zelda exchanged jokes with his little brother. Before he knew it, Siler was up in the saddle and about to start riding.

"Now just remember, keep a firm hold on the reins." Zelda said, taking a deep breath.

"And stop bouncing up and down, its annoying Epona."

MoonRider here, please review, I'm not getting very much encouragement to write those longer chapters so they'll stay this way for a while. By the way, please, no more inane reviews. If you don't have anything nice to say, shut up! Well, no one has said anything, mean actually but there have been 2 very absurd and out of nowhere reviews. You read and then review. You can't just review! And also, I'm just saying this one more time, A/U mean alternate universe. I could make Link a girl if I wanted to. I don't want to but I could.
