Music Equals Life:

Chapter 3: Million Miles Away

---

Link sighed and tossed his alarm clock out the window as he woke up. He streacthed walked over to the open window and sighed as he saw Zelda walking along the courtyard tending to a small flower garden. He was about to call down to her when he reminded himself that she had no real clue as to who the hell he was. Sure she could put name to face, and sure she hung out with him at times, but they didn't have the same friendship that they had as kids. He walked silently with his head down in thought as he walked into the bathroom. He turned on the radio and crawled into the shower. Of course, since he was in a semi-bad mood he didn't bother to check the temperature of the water. It was ice cold. He adjusted the temperature of the water as a smile crossed his lips and a song he had defined as his theme song started to play...

~There was a time, looking through myself

Wanting to pretend

If I escaped, I could fill myself

I don't think you can~

He cursed his radio as it shut off after that verse. He quickly finished his shower, dressed himself in normal clothing (basically, a t-shirt and cargo pants). He grabbed his cd player off his dresser, after stuffing a bottle of water in one of his pockets and his boomerang attached to his side, and left his room, being sure to lock his door. He put on his head phones and walked along as Daisy walked up to him and tried to get him to sleep with her, Link simply shrugged her off and continued humming the same song from that morning.

~Been far and wide

But that hole inside

Never really leaves

When I went away, what I really left

Left behind was me ~

Link walked out to the stables and saddled Epona up. As soon as he was finished, he hopped onto her and galloped off to randomly roam the fields behind HAL Labs. He sauntered into a grove of trees and tied Epona to one as he climbed to the sturdiest top layer and started at the sky through the flimsy branches above him.

~It's telling me

To be on my way home

Million miles away

I can't stay~

He dozed off before the next verse could start and he woke up a few hours later to the sound of his cd player starting to fall. With quick cat-like reflexes he caught his cd player and checked it over for damage. There was none. He poked his head up through the flimsy layer of branches and saw by the Labs' clock tower that it was nearly time for lunch. He hopped down, got on Epona and galloped off back towards HAL Labs with his cd player blaring again. He jogged in and got food from the fridge. He thought he had fairly quickly, but he really spent an hour eating.

~Each passing day, every passing face

Seems like such a blur~

He walked through the Labs shrugging off the ever persistant Daisy once again he found himself up in a tower of the Labs. By the time he got there though the batteries in his CD player were dead, but he had heared the song so many times he had it memorized. He noticed Zelda down in the courtyard eating her lunch with Peach and Samus and he smiled. He then dampend his mood again as he reminded himself that she'd never go for him because she didn't know him as well as she had before she sent him back. He closed his eyes and hummed the next part of it as well as sung some as well.

~I long to be

Home, silently

Lying next to her

Just to get back, by her side is all

All I need to be

Cause I went away

But what I really left

Left behind was me~

He stayed up there for a few more hours before heading down for dinner. He sighed and ate in silence, even though Marth and Roy were fighting with eachother in the same way that they always do, which would usually bring a simle to Link's face. As he walked slowly back to his room though, Zelda caught up to him and they started talking, soon enough though, they were back at Link's room. Link invited her in and smiled as he realized that things just might go back to the way things were. They talked late into the night and as they were sitting next to each other, Link turned on the radio to break some of the silence, his supposed, "theme song" was just finishing. Odd how it seemed to be playing all day that day.

~I need to be

Getting on my way home

A million miles away

Million miles away

I can't take...~

Link smiled and blushed as he noticed Zelda leaning on him and sleeping. He sighed contently (and silently) and layed his head on Zelda's as he fell asleep as well.
