Well, I think it's about time that I updated this fic. Looks like no one really got my question, but for all of you who are Ganondorf fanatics, I have a special place for him in this story, so yes, you'll see him later on. In the meantime, enjoy!

"Saria. Saria wake up, it's time to go" A soft voice said.

"Link?" She said, waking up slowly.

"Come on, we need to get a head start. Otherwise it will get dark and monsters will get out"

"Please let me sleep for another couple of minutes"

Link sighed and turned to the two fairies that were waiting "This might be a problem"

"Don't worry about it. I'm on it" Loki said with reassurance. As he flew above Saria's bed.

"Uhh...Link. I wouldn't trust him if I were you!" Navi protested.

"Don't worry, I'm sure he knows what he's doing"

Loki flew above the bed and on to a shelf, where there was a bucket of water for drinking. Loki pushed it ever so slightly and Saria who was on the bottom said "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She said, completely soaked because of Loki's stunt.

"I told you not to trust him!" Navi scolded.

"Loki! That's not what I wanted you to do!" 'Well, at least she's up now' Link thought to himself.

"So...C..Cold" Saria said, shivering.

"Here, take this blanket" Link said, handing here the same blanket that belonged to Imelda.

"Thanks"

"Come on, Lon Lon Ranch is a day's walk from here. When we get there, we can get a nice meal. You'll also meet a couple of my friends"

"That sounds great" Saria said. It was still early in the morning, so no Kokiris were up. No one should really notice their dissapearance, excepting Mido. By now, Saria's changed a lot since the two years that went by. She was now officially 12 years old. Link noticed it too, she was a lot prettier now. They walked out of the forest, walking into the Hyrule Fields, the first time she's ever seen them. "Wow! It's beautiful out here! And so bright. And so BIG! I didn't know that there were places bigger than the forest"

"Out of all the places I've been to, the forest is probably the smallest"

"Wow! Where's Lon Lon Ranch?" Saria asked in excitement.

"It's all the way over there" Link said, pointing it out to her. It was fairly easy to spot since it was in the center of the Hylian Fields. The walk did take all day and when they got there...

"Link!!! It's so good to see you again!" Malon yelled running towards him, grabbing him in a hug.

"It's great to see you too Malon. I'd like you to meet a friend of mine. Malon, meet Saria"

Malon let go of Link and looked at the figure behind him. "A fairy-girl? Hi Saria, it's very nice to meet you"

"Hi" Saria said, with the so very familiar hear twisting pain.

"So, how's Epona?" Link asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Oh, she's fine, and I think she's ready to be ridden again, if that's what you're thinking"

"Great! Saria, come see her!"

"Wow! They're beautiful!" Saria exclaimed, seeing the wondrous creatures before her. She hasn't ever really seen a horse before.

"Yeah, I know! This one's mine" With this, Link pulled out his ocarina and played Epona's song so that she'd come to him. "This is Epona, my horse"

"Wow, can pet her?" Saria asked a little unsure of herself.

"Yeah sure!" Link said, as she was petting the horse.

"Well, I'm sure that you're both very hungry since it's dusk. Why not come in and join us for supper?" Malon offered.

"Sure, that would be great! How's your father doing?"

"Probably sleeping"

"Well let's go! Coming Saria?"

"Yeah sure"

After supper..."So Link, should I show you to your room?"

"Yes, please. We're going to have to stay for the night"

"Well, it just so happens that we have separate rooms for the two of you. I'll take you to them now"

"Thanks"

In Saria's room..."So Loki, what do you think about Malon?"

"Well, one, she's beautiful, two, she definately likes Link and I mean more than just a friend"

"I was afraid of that"

"Don't lose hope now! Not after all those books I read because of you!'

"Yeah alright, I'm a bit more worried on how the meeting with Zelda is going to go though"

I hope you enjoyed this! Please Review!
