Vacation:

     Link awoke in his room to the sun shinning down onto his face.  He lifted himself up and wiped the sleep from his eyes.  He smiled and got up to start the day.  Today was going to be a good day for him.  He was planning on telling Zelda he was going to take a vacation.  "Boy, I can't wait to hang out with Malon today." Link with his hands behind his hand while walking down the hall to see Zelda.

     "Link!  Your up!  Have a nice rest?" Zelda said rather happily.

     "Sure did."

     "Great, we need to get some stuff done today."

     "Oh really?  I was going to tell you that I need a vacation."  Link looked disappointed.  He looked into Zelda's eyes and she looked back. "I really need this Zel."

     Zelda looked down to the floor then back up to Link.  She could never say no to his eyes.  She got lost in them to easily.  After all, she did love him, "Ok, you can have a vacation, but we have a meeting with the sages." Links was overjoyed and hugged Zelda tightly.

     "Thanks Zel!  I should be about week.  I'm going to spend some time with an old friend."  He pulled back form his hug and looked down at her, "You're a great friend you know that.  I don't know what I would do with out you." Zelda smiled.

     "You need to come back in a couple days.  Rauru wants to hold a meeting."

     "Figures.  I'll see you later Zel."  With that, Link disappeared out of her sight.  She was left there alone.

     "I love you." Zelda whispered knowing that she couldn't hear him.  She then went back to her duties.

     Hyrule Market:

     Link appeared out of no where in front of the large fountain in the middle of the markets.  Everyone was scared half to death by the sudden appearance of their hero. "Geez, whats wrong with you people?"  Link laughed and walked around the market.  He was free now.  He hadn't left the palace for a year and now he could do what he wanted.  Link looked around at the different vendors and saw a golden yellow scarf.  Much like the one Malon wears, "Hmm, she would look great with this on.  The one she has now is falling apart." Link picked it up and felt it, "Fine cloth."

     "You like that sir?  Real nice scarf.  Sell it to you fooooor, fifty rubies." Link raised an eyebrow at the estranged salesman.

     "Fifty huh?  Hmmm, I saw you just sell this same one for twenty-five."

     "Twenty-five!?  Never!  This is high class silk!"

     "Alright, ill pay you 35."

     "45!"

     "40." Links said calmy.

     "35!"

     "Deal," Link wore a smirk.

     "Shit, you got me.  Alright, pay me my money."

     Link handed him the money and laughed.  This is beautiful. She will love it.  Link was amazed at the scarves vibrant color and put it in a pocket so that it would not get scratched.  Hmmm, I left Epona the ranch a year ago.  I guess I'll just fly over there.  Link slowly rose off the ground and took off.  He left everyone in the market stairing once again.

     Link soared through the air above the field.  It had been awhile since he had been there.  Everything was green again and no poes roamed the land, "Ahh there it is.  Lon Lon Ranch.  As welcoming as ever."  Link sped up a little more and was soon in front of the ranch.  He set down softly, looked up at the entrance, and smiled.  Malon.

     As he ascended the hill in the front he heard a familiar sound.  It was her singing as usual.  Link stopped to listen for a second and then pulled out his ocarina.  He started playing her song.  Epona's Song.  He passed the house and came up to the corral.

     There was no one in sight.  Except her.  She was in the center of the corral with Epona by her side singing away without a care in the world.  At least that's what Link thought. 

     Malon did care about things.  Things that others had no clue about.  Malon had strong feelings for the Hero of Time.  She might even love the guy, but she isn't sure if he feels the same for her.

     Malon stopped singing and thought to herself.  I missed Link so much.  He's been gone for a year, and now wants to come back into my life?  Maybe he does feel something for me.  He did kiss me a year ago.  It's just I always thought it was a friendly kiss.  It's not like there was tong or anything.  The young girl was suddenly taken from her thoughts when she heard the sound of an ocarina right behind her.  Link!  She spun around to see the one man who really meant something to her standing right in front of her smiling.  Malon stared into his blue eyes.

     "Hey there bright eyes." Link said as he pulled her into a hug.

     "You made it, you weren't lying."

     "Why would I lie?"

     "I don't know, you left for a year and you never visited.  I figured you were always to busy to come see me."

     Link pulled back and look down at her, "Well, I'm here now and that's all that matters, right?" Malon nodded, "I have a whole week to spend with you and I'm going to make every minute count."

     "That's great.  We have some catching up to do."

     "Oh yeah, I have something for you," Link reached into his pocket and Malon look at him curiously.  He pulled out the yellow scarf and walked around her so that her back was to him.

     "Link…"

     Link smiled and reached around her shoulders.  He undid the button that held the old scarf and wrapped the new one around her neck.  He put the button back on and rested his hands on her shoulders.  Malon closed her eyes and breathed in and out, "Link, it's, it's beautiful.  Thank you."

     "I thought you would like it," Malon turned around, "I saw it and had to get it for you."  Malon jumped into and hugged him tightly.

     "Thank you."

     "I believe we have some catching up to do," Link said as he pulled away.

     "You're right.  How about some lunch and nice long talk."

     Link smiled, "Sounds good."  Malon turned around once more and walked towards the house.  Link followed behind and thought to himself.  This is going to be the best week of my life.  I'm going to tell her.  I love you Malon.

     The two sat inside the house and caught up on old times.  Malon told him of what shes been up to on the ranch and Link told her about his training and the new skills hes learned.  He even showed her how he can conjure up his sword when he needs to.  The two talked for hours.

Haha, sorry it took so long.  But here is its.  I'll try and have the next one up in a week or so.  I'm going to New York to visit family.  So plzzzzzzz R&R!
