questions and you should know that the Zelda Characters do not belong to
me! SO IF YOU DO ASK QUESTIONS........AHHH!!!!!!!!!! LoL, just kidding,
please R&R though. ^_^!
Chapter 2
"It's ok Ash, you don't have to apologize."Link said still chuckling.
"No really Link, I should've known that the splashing wasn't fish, I mean, I've never seen fish splash around like that before." She said from behind her horse changing back into her black and green dress. " I mean, really, I should've went over and looked." She said coming out from behind her horse.
"I wouldn't have wanted that to happen." Link laughed. Ash laughed right along beside him.
"Yeah, you're right Link." She sighed and walked over to a spot on the shore of the Lake. She sat down and patted a spot next to her letting Link know that she wanted him to sit with her.
"So how long have you been here?" Link asked plucking a flower.
"A year. I like it here. Where I live it's hell. I mean, there's no grass, no trees, just cactuses and desert." She said sadly plucking a blade of grass. She put it in between her thumbs and blew in between them. A strange whistling noise came out.
"How do you do that?" Link asked leaning over to her.
"You place a blade of grass in between your thumbs, and it has to be straight too, then you put your mouth to it and blow." Link watched her silky hair blow with the breeze. Her face was lightly blushed. Link thought she was magnificent. How I want to kiss her right now. he thought to himself. He took a blade of grass and tried to do what she taught him.
"It's not working. Show me again." He asked again inching towards her.
"You place a blade of grass in between your thumbs and blow." She said amused.
"Like this?" Link asked trying to blow a crumpled piece of grass between his thumbs.
"No, like this." She sighed and replaced the grass between his thumbs and blew to make a lound whistle. Link blew after and it worked. Then he turned to her place his hand under her chin.
"What is it Link?" She asked beaming at him with yellowish eyes.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" He asked her looking deeply into her now greenish brown eyes.
"Depends on what you're looking at, but yes I do. I do." They leaned into each other. Embraced one another and kissed. They held the kiss for what seemed like 5 minutes. Then Ash broke the kiss. "I have to go. Tips must be worried now. Good bye Link." She said quietly getting up.
"Who's Tips?" Link called after her.
"My pixie!" She shouted back. Link smiled and waved good bye as she left. He scratched the back of his head and smiled.
"Man, what an enchanting girl. I mean, what a lovely woman." Link sighed falling back into the grass. Epona stomped a hoof impatiently. Link laughed a little and looked back at the rippling water. He thought of how she was one of the most amazing girls he ever laid eyes on. She had sunken into his brain. Her face would not disappear.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tips was waiting for Ash. When she noticed her riding closer, she flew up and glowed brightly. " So, how'd it go with your swim?" She asked.
"Oh, fine just fine. I met Link over there too. We talked a while. He's a great guy." She said blushing slightly remembering their kiss. She sighed and tied her horse up outside. She went to a spring near by and bathed. She got out and put on a deer skin robe, and sunk into bed after eating some steak.
"Anything else happen while you were up there, cause you can't stop smiling." Tips chirped.
"Well, there's this one thing, but I don't want to talk about it." She said turning over trying not to look at her pixie. Tips made a small bell sound.
"Come on, tell me! I really wanna know!" She piped. Ash sighed and rolled over. The pixie fluttered over to her and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"He kissed me alright? Are you happy now?" She asked turning back over.
"Oh! How exciting! Princess Ash Lenore has found a prince! Oh how wonderful! Your mother will be plenty pleased. Does Link know that you are a princess?" Ash guiltily shook her head.
"No, not yet. I want to tell him, but I don't know how to." She sighed closing her eyes.
"Goodnight young lady." She whispered in Ash's ear. She went over to the small fire in the middle of the cave and magically extinguished it.

Link stayed in Lake Hylia that night. He had fallen asleep in the grass. He stretched and looked around taking in the sweet smell of the morning dew. Epona was curled up sleeping soundly. Link stood and walked over to Epona. He patted her snout and she stood up. She nuzzled him and walked off to some small shrubs. Link smiled and looked out at the unusually still water. He dropped his clothes and jumped in. This time keeping his pants on.
"Link! Hello!" Shouted a familiar voice. It was Malon.
"Hiya Malon!" He called back swimming to shore. He was thankful for keeping his pants on. He walked up to the shore and hugged malon.
"Oh dear, I'm soaking. Tee Hee." She giggled looking at her dress. "I came down here to ask you something." She said beaming.
"First of all, how'd you find me?" He asked smiling.
"Well, I've always seen you come down here, and so I thought you might be down here." She said digging her boot toe into the ground. " I was wondering if-if you um......" She started to blush a vibrant red. Link realized that she was going to ask him if he loved her. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Do you want to be my Fiance's best man?" She said brightly. Link gave a sigh of relief. Then he smiled.
"Of course I will. It would be my pleasure. Now who's the lucky man?" He asked giving her another hug.
"It's a man from a village in another kingdom. He came here for business. His name's Atreyu Parkins. We met a year ago, and he asked me to marry him. Isn't it wonderful?!" She asked.
"Oh yes, very. That's a good man you're marrying." He said smiling. When Atreyu first came to Hyrule, he had came upon Link one day asking for directions. Link gladly told him where Lon Lon Ranch was, and offered to treat the man to a drink at the Market Bar. Ever since then they were trusted friends.
"Well Link, I ought to go. I'll see you later for the wedding plans!" She said cheerfully mounting her horse. She waved goodbye at Link and rode away. Link smiled happily. No girl *so far* had fallen in love with him. He put on his shirt, and mounted Epona. He headed straight to Ash's house *cave*. On his way there, three Wolfos tried to attack him. He shot them all with his bow and arrow. As he came close to the cave he noticed that there was no fire, and nobody there. He climbed off his horse, drew his sword, and went inside ready for battle.
"What in the hell are you doing Link?"Asked a familiar voice from behind Link. He turned around, and saw Ash sitting up draped in her bear skin sheets. Link smiled and sat next to her.
"N-nothing, just patrolling." Link said pushing some of her bangs behind her ears. She placed her hands on his hand and held it there.
"Hmm, your hands are so warm Link." She sighed. Link smiled again. She opened her silverish eyes that were starting to turn a reddish color. Link hugged her and kissed her cheek. She blushed slightly, but moved backwards.
"What is it?" Link asked a little hurt.
"You're wet Link." She laughed. Link looked down at his shirt which was seeping the water that he didn't dry off. He laughed too.
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that." He said going over to Epona. He dug around in the saddle bags and grabbed a black vest. He quickly put it on and sat back down next to Ash.
"Link, I need to tell you something." She said quietly.
"What?" He asked focused on his buttons.
"I-I am part of a royal family. I was sent here to find a husband." She said slowly expecting Link to either laugh or walk out. Link did none of them, but fell silent.
"Really? Oh, I didn't know. Well of course I didn't, I mean, I didn't know." Link said still focused on his buttons."Why didn't you tell me?" He asked finally looking up.
"Becaause I didn't think you would like me being royal and all. You know, I actually forgot until Tips reminded me." She said looking around trying to find something to focus on. Link smiled and kissed her lightly on the head.
"Well, lets not get married too quickly. Lets go out for at least a year." Link said making a goofy smile which made Ash giggle.
"Ok, I thought that could work. Haha." She laughed and jumped out of bed. Her robes gliding behind her." Do you mind Link? I gotta change." She said looking back at him.
"No, I don't mind, go ahead." She glared at him. He blushed a little and walked out of her cave.
