As the sun set lit the sky, there lips parted. Fifteen year old Molly, stumbled to her feet and called for her little brother to exit the lake. "Well, um, Mic. I guess I will see you later, huh." said a stuttering Molly backing away from the young Zora that had just kissed her. As her soaked brother ran up she quickly grasped him by the shoulders and placed him between them. "Yah, later." said Mic in reply. Molly and her brother mounted Gypsy and took off towards the ranch.
While listening to steady thumping of Gypsy's hooves beating the ground, Molly thought to herself. What am I doing. I am playing with the hearts of the people I love. I just can' t choose. I can have the stacked rippling abs of a strong prince Zora, or I can have the artistic playfulness of a childlike looking faerie boy, lets not forget the wealth and respect of the prince of Hyrule himself. But then there is the not so pretty yet ambitious child of the Sheaka woman whom once served the new queen. I don' t know who will win my heart but I will tell you, that kiss today certainly put Mic in the lead.
**********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^_^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**********
Molly dismounted at the farm and walked her horse into the stable, she could here her mother and father already inside with her grandfather for their weekly shared dinner. She brushed and fed the horse, then proceeded to the house to clean up. When she got up to her room and opened the door, her jaw dropped. Her mother, despite her protest had cleaned her room. With desperate hope she checked under her bed for the notes that would expose her love search. With unspeakable terror she found no notes. She stood up and spotted them neatly stacked on her desk. She ran over to them, Still in there envelopes! She must have read them, she must know! She thought to herself. In despair she cleaned up and headed over to her grandfather's home.
She entered the kitchen and sat down. "Hi honey, how was the lake?" her mother asked her. Prepared to defend herself she started to state the speech she had prepared on her short walk over, "Mom! Just let me explain I..." she stopped abruptly with the strange look on her mother's face. She started again, "Fine, it was just fine." she said coolly. "That's good. Well lets get started. Pass the gravy, please." her mother said nonchalantly. Why is she acting like she doesn't know? I know she read those letters, I will have to be more careful. "Molly!" her mother shouted, she snapped back to reality, "Huh, oh what?" she asked clueless. "Please pass the gravy." her mother replied with a new found annoyance in her voice. "Oh yah, sorry." she said as she passed the warm bowl to her mother. I will have to be very careful. She thought giving her mother a quick competitive glare.

Zelda and Sander
Molly lowered the invitation to see her brother jumping up and down. "Can I go, Can I go!!!?? PLEASE!?" he was yipping. "No." Molly replied simply. "MOM!!" he yelled, "Sorry you can't go to this one!" Malon replied. A satisfied Molly moved on to her next envelope.
Dear Molly,
I hope you enjoyed our kiss, I sure did. I can't wait to see you again. Which is why I am writing. Did you get your invitation yet? I got mine, I was hoping that you would go to the ball with me. I have an important question to ask you. Don't bother to write just come to the lake as soon as you get this. See you soon.
Mic
Molly folded the letter and put it back in it's envelope. She went upstairs put her letters in their new hiding place, a tin can in the corner of her closet, and grabbed her swimming things. She stuffed it in her knapsack and headed downstairs. "I'm going to the lake, be back before dinner!" she called to her parents. She was almost out the door as Malon yelled "Wait up, we'll all go to the lake. Have a picnic, it is Friday after all." Closing the door and turning around with an exasperated sigh, she forced a smile and said "Sure mom, great idea. I'll just go on ahead, ok with you?" "Yah that's fine. We'll see you there. Find us a good spot, ok!" her mom yelled to her as she left. "Sure!" she yelled back. Great. Just great. She knows that's why she is doing this. I better warn Mic.
That's all for now but I promise I will update more often from now on. So how is everyone liking the story? Good I hope. Keep replying, I love to read them!
