One Year Later:

     "Woooooo hooooooooo!"  Link yelled as he was soaring through the air above Hyrule Castle dodging boulders that his brother, Darunia was launching at him from the ground.  "Ha ha, you missed again!" Link teased.

     "You've gotten to fast!  You're right when the rock is thrown!  And I throw really fast." Darunia complained.

     "I know you do.  I'm just testing out the speed."  Link looked down at Darunia and smiled.  He had surpassed him in everyway.  Strength, speed, stamina, and even wisdom.  Darunia was out classed when they trained together.  In fact, that is what they did for one whole year.  The two trained, and trained, and trained.  Preparing themselves for the showdown of the century. 

     Over the year, Link developed new techniques, as well as becoming stronger than he could possibly imagine.  Zelda trained along side the two helping Link master his flying ability and his energy control.  She also helped Darunia out.  Darunia was the only sage to train outside the Sacred Realm.  The other 5 trained their mind and their special abilities.  They also needed to watch the sacred realm.

     Link floated in the air looking up at the clouds while Darunia picked up a huge boulder.  "I'll give him one he wont forget."  He said proudly.  Darunia placed the large rock in his right hand and pulled back.  He then pushed forward with all his might and it flew towards the unsuspecting Link.

     Less then a second after Darunia threw the rock, it reached its target, only Link was ready.  He sensed it coming and had a smirk on his face.  Before it smashed into him, he made a fighters stance and smashed the rock with his right hand, "Haha, nice try Darunia!"

     "Well, you got me there, but can you get the next." Just when Darunia said that, Links face turned to shock and the second boulder slammed into him shattering into a million pieces.

     "Holy shit Darunia!  Are you crazy?"  Link yelled down to him, only to notice a shocked look upon Darunia's face.  "Whats wrong?"

     "I… I, I throw that thing as hard as I could."  Was all he could spit out.

     "Really?" Link was confused.  It used to hurt when Darunia caught him off guard.

     "You know, you've changed a lot lately.  Are you ok?"

     Link slowly dropped to the ground next in front of Darunia, "I feel great ol' buddy!"

     "Hmm, well." Darunia started, "I think I've had enough for the day.  I'm going inside to rest."

     "Alright, I think I'll fly around some more practicing so moves.  See ya later man."  They nodded to each other and Link took to the sky while Darunia walked into the castle.

     Link was floating in the air above the field that was right outside the castle, he thought to himself for a second then began to throw out a series of punches and kicks gaining speed after each one.  As he practiced he realized it had been a year since he last saw her.  The one girl he always felt the most comfortable around.  The girl with the fiery red hair, deep blue eyes and lips to die for.  He kissed her that night, and really enjoyed it.  He would do anything to get to kiss those lips again.  Link really loved that girl.

     Link stopped moving for a second and laid his arms down his sides.  He closed his eyes and said her name softly, "Malon…" he pictured her in his mind.  Last time he saw her she was so beautiful.  Link remained floating in the air for several minutes until he heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground and the crackly noises of a familiar wagon. "Ahh the milk has arrived, maybe I should give Talon a hand.  Poor guy cant do anything on his own."  Link fly slowly down towards the entrance the castle.  He leaned up against post on the gate and crossed his arms.  When the wagon pulled up, the person on it wasn't who he was expecting.

     "Link?  Is that you?"  A soft voice of a woman's spoke up.

      Links eyes shot open when we he realized who was there, "Malon!  Wow!  You look" he paused, "its great to see you!"

     "You too, fairy boy."  She teased.

     Link smirked and floated up to Malon and looked her over.  She looked even more gorgeous than she did a year before.  Malon wore her usual working dress but her figure had changed.  Her body was perfect, at least what he could see. Her hair was still fiery red elegantly flowing down her back and her sapphire eyes were as blue as the sky.

     Malon looked at Link and noticed he had changed as well.  His figure was huge.  He had great muscles.  His smile was warmer than it had ever been and his hair came out of his cap.  She stared into his blue eyes for a second then down his body.  Malon then noticed that Link wasn't on the ground, "I see you've learned a few new tricks over this past year."

     "Wha what?" Link asked confused, "Oh! I see.  Haha.  Zelda taught me how to fly."

     "That's great Link.  You also look a lot stronger."

     "Thanks.  Need some help?"  Link's gentleman side kicked in and he offered his hand to help our of the wagon.

     Malon gladly took it, "Why thank you kind sir."  Link just smiled and set down on each other down on the ground.  He walked to the back of the wagon and picked up the crates of milk.  Five crates were being delivered to the castle and Link easily lifted them up over his head, "Link, I don't mean to be rude, but are you sure you're doing good.  I've never seen anyone lift ones of those crates with ease.  Especially when they try and lift 5 at once."

     Link laughed and look at her while he held the crates up with one hand above his head, "Geez Malon, I feel great.  These things are incredibly ligiht!"

     Malon raised an eyebrow, "Ok, but you've changed fairy boy, I can tell."  She walked  with Link along the moat and they took a left turn where he dropped the crates down, "This is where my father usually leaves them, I think."

     "Yep, this is right!  Say, where is the old guy.  He usually delivers."  Link questioned.

     "I know, but he said he wasn't feeling to good this morning.  I didn't believe him.  I have a feeling he just wanted me to get out of the ranch for awhile."

     "It's really nice to see you Malon.  I've been stuck here all year.  I'm sorry I never came to visit.  You're my best friend.

     Malon thought to herself.  Is that all I am?  His best friend?  What about that kiss he gave me, "It's ok Link, I know you've been really busy."

     "That's no excuse."

     The two walked back to the wagon and said their goodbyes, "It was good to seeing you again Link." 

     Malon started off and Link yelled after her, "Hey Mal!  I'll come by and visit you tomorrow!"  She stopped and looked back, but Link was already next her, "I want to catch up on old times."

     Malon smiled down at him and nodded, "I'll be looking forward to seeing you tomorrow Link.  Goodbye for now!"  and she rode off.

     Link watched her until she rounded the bend that lead to the market and out of town.  Link thought to himself how incredibly beautiful she was as he trudged his way back in the castle.  It was sunset and he should probably have eaten something, but he was hungry.  He walked into the castle, passed Zelda without noticing and headed to his room.  He fell back on to the bed with his hands behind his head and thought.

     "Malon… I need you."  He said quietly.  He closed his ready to drift off to sleep, "I need a vacation."  And he drifted off.

Ok there it is.  I'm not to impressed with it but I hope you are.  Next chapter will be up soon.  R&R plzzz!
