A Special Day For You and Me
***
Chapter Two

"Why has this melody so strong power? What.what does it mean?" thought Link between his sobs.

He stood up and walked to the stump slowly. Now he could see Saria, sitting on the stump, playing her Ocarina. Also she was very sad and crying.

"Stop! Stop it!" Link wanted to shout at her, but he could not. The melody was very powerful and so beautiful, that he wanted to listen to it although it hurt him as well.

He walked closer and looked at Saria. She saw him and stopped playing. She could not resist. She stood up, ran to him and threw her arms around his neck.

"Link, please, hold me tight!" she asked him and held him closer.

He was very surprised but did what she wanted him to do, tears still rolling down his cheek. Saria loosened her embrace after a while and looked into his puffy sapphire eyes: "This day is very special, you know? I want us to be happy, so please don't cry anymore. Tell me what you wanted to, please."

But he could not speak. He wanted to tell her she loved her, but so many feelings were inside him right now. He was very confused by Saria's acting as well. So he just grabbed her arms, stepped a bit closer and kissed her on the lips.

"Ha!"

Saria and Link broke their kiss and embrace as well. They looked in the voice's direction.

"Mido!" shouted Link angrily. "You intruder!"

"Mido, what are you doing here? You ought to watch the entrance to the forest, right?" said Saria, more embarrassed than angry.

"That's right," said Mido, proud of himself. "But I'm also responsible for you, and you two look very suspicious. What are you doing here - alone? Go and play with other kids."

Link did not mean to answer him, his heart was still running fast after the kiss and all what had happened before. He grabbed Saria's hand and walked out of the Sacred Forest Meadow. Mido was walking right behind them, saying nothing. Saria felt very embarrassed, but the kiss made her also feel very floaty inside.

They spent the rest of the day playing with other kids, laughing and - above all - not crying. They both felt that something was wrong, but they also remembered what had happened before Mido came. But Saria knew this night would be the last time they could ever spend together, so deep inside her mind, she still worried much.

"Time to go to bed!" Mido shouted from the entrance to the forest. He was very sleepy, too, but this night it was his turn to stay there overnight to guard the forest . "That's not fair," said one of the Kokiri twins, "we've been having so much fun tonight!"

"That's why you have to go to your bed!" replied Mido. He was in very bad mood today.

"Link, stay at my hut tonight. Let's talk all the night long," whispered Saria to him.

"Goodnight everybody! Goodnight, Saria! Goodnight, Link!" shouted all the Kokiri's on their way to their huts.

"Goodnight!" replied our two love birds in unison and then Link answered quietly to Saria: "Sure, I'll be there."

Mido was watching them so Link said loudly: "Goodnight, Saria! Goodnight, Mido!" And then he climbed the ladder to his hut.

"Saria.can I talk to you?" asked her Mido after Link had entered his hut.

"Eh, sure, Mido," said Saria and walked towards him. 'What does he want from me? Is it about the afternoon?' she thought for herself.

"Something worries you, Saria? Please tell me," asked Mido in a very pleasant voice.

Before she could answer to him, he continued: "You've seemed very worried to me today. I've watched you all the time. You even did not listened to my today's lesson and . Why you always talk to that boy without a fairy! I'm here for you, too."

Saria was shocked. 'He is jealous? Does it mean he.loves me?' Sure all the Kokiris knew Mido loved Saria, but she did not. Maybe it was because all Kokiris loved Saria, because she was very friendly and happy. So she had not realized Mido's feelings were a bit different from the others.

"Thank you, Mido. But I could not talk to you about that. It is something I could tell only to him. But thank you for your kindness. It's nice of you that you worry for me. So, goodnight, Mido. And don't worry. I'm.OK, really," said Saria and quickly ran inside her hut.

"Goodnight," said Mido, puzzled.

Author's notes: Again, please excuse if I used English in a bad way. I'll try to improve, really. ^_^ Nevertheless, the next chapter will be the last but one. I'm going to update as soon as possible, but it will take some time - the next chapter is going to be the most important for my story, I think, so I'll try hard. So I hope you'll be looking forward to it! I'm waiting for your reviews on this chapter! Thank you! Yours saria-chan
