Type: Action/Adventure/Romance
Chapters: 2 out of 10

Rating: PG for this Chapter, R for Ch 1.

Violence: Sword fighting.

Sex: nope.

Feedback: I'm a feedback whore. I always want more.

Summary: Link and Nabooru are having terrifying nightmares as they grow closer and closer. Then, when a follower of Ganondorf kidnaps Zelda, they must join together to stop him.  Will they save Zelda? More importantly, will they admit their feelings for each other?

Notes: This takes place 7 years after Link returns the Master Sword to the Temple of Time. In Ch 1, which you must have read if you are reading this,  Link received the Time Sword and Time Shield. If you have no idea what I am talking about, then read Chapter 1, Nightmares. By the way, Link is left handed. In the games he is, so I made him left handed in the fic.

Link yawned and stretched, looking around warily for any surprises. He sat up and cracked his back, groaning. He had not had a lot of sleep last night. When he stood up to go to the chest at the foot of his bed, he noticed that there was a package sitting on his table. There was a scroll on top of it. On the scroll there was a message from Rauru, the Sage of Light. He picked up the message and began to read it.

Link,

If you have received this scroll, then I fear the Evil King's

plan has already started to unfold. You should have already

had a visit by Nayru, who gave you the Weapons of Time.

Enclosed in this package are the Time Tunic, Time Cape,

Time Gauntlets and Time Boots.

May the grace of the Goddesses be with you,

-Rauru-

~Sage of Light~

"Well, I better take a look at them," Link said, tugging open the package.

Inside, there was a white tunic, a white hat, brown Gauntlets with a white jewel embedded in them, brown boots, white leggings, and a red cape. He pulled on the tunic and the leggings, followed by the cape, the boots, and last of all the gauntlets.

            "Well, at least I can be dressed up when I go to see Nabooru today," Link said.

He then walked over to the chest at the foot of his bed and took out his new Time Sword and Time Shield. He attached the sword to his right hip and placed the shield over his new cape. He grinned, taking a look at himself in the mirror.

            "Lookin' good, Hero of Time," He grinned.  He slowly made his way out of his house, which was Impa's former house. Impa had moved to Hyrule Castle in order to better protect Princess Zelda. He wasn't alone in the house, though. His old friends from Termina, Kafei and Anju, had escaped from Termina following a civil war. Knowing that Link was in Hyrule, they made their way there in order to find him. They knew that they would have at least one friend there. When they found him he had decided to let them stay with him for no rent. Since Kafei was an excellent stonemason and jeweler, though, the only thing Link asked Kafei to do was to sometimes make him little trinkets to make for Nabooru for no charge.

            Link slowly walked over to the chest once again and reached in to retrieve a small brown leather pouch with a drawstring holding it closed.  He pulled the string and emptied the contents of the pouch into his hand. Inside the pouch was an orange stone medallion on a string. The symbol of the spirit medallion was carved into it.  In the center, there was a red ruby representing the power of the desert.  Link reverently turned the medallion over in his hands as he stared off into the distance, thinking about how much he cared for Nabooru.

            He then walked out of his house and headed for the stable he had built to house Epona and Daemon, his newest horse, a Gerudo stallion.  The cow he had won in the obstacle course was there, too. Link saddled up Daemon, patting Epona on the nose. Recently, Malon had come to visit with Lamont, a Hylian Knight and Link's best friend.  She had discovered that Epona was pregnant. Link grinned as he finished preparing Daemon and got onto his back. He trotted off toward the Gerudo Valley, tucking Nabooru's gift into his tunic.

            "Hey Malon! Lamont!" Link called, galloping toward them. "Hey Link!" they called, stopping and walking toward him. Link dismounted  Daemon who trotted off to eat. 

"Hello Link!" Malon smiled as she hugged him.  Lamont walked toward Link and grinned.

            "Hello my friend. So, where are you going?" Lamont brushed a hand through his pitch black hair as he said this. Lamont was a handsome young man the same age as Link. He had dark black hair and green eyes and was a Hylian Knight. He wore a blue tunic with white leggings and brown boots. His sword was strapped to his side and his shield hung on his back.  His hair was shoulder length and his bangs were parted down the middle and looked like Link's. Link grinned at his best friend and said

"I'm heading to Gerudo Valley to spend the day with Nabooru."

Lamont grinned at his friend and winked while nudging Link with his elbow

"So, the rumors are true then. You are in love with Nabooru."

"WHAT!? What rumor? Has it reached Gerudo Valley as far as you know?"

"Relax, my friend. Malon told me that you told her."

Lamont laughed.

            "Oh thank the gods. Malon, I thought you were going to keep it a secret?"

 Link said, smiling at his childhood friend. Malon looked sheepishly at Link before dissolving into giggles. Link's hearty laughter soon followed, trailed by Lamont. When the three finally managed to stop laughing, Link walked toward Epona and mounted her.

"Well, I have to go. Nabooru is waiting for me."

Malon grinned

 "Well, we wouldn't want to keep you from seeing your girlfriend now, would we?" Link playfully scowled at Malon before reaching down to clasp hands with Lamont.

"I will see you soon, my friend. Come visit me sometime, both of you."

            With that, Link took off in order to see Nabooru. Lamont and Malon both grinned as they watched Link ride away.

"Now, m'lady, I believe that I promised you a trip to Lake Hylia, didn't I?"

Lamont grinned.

"Why, yes you did, kind sir."

Malon giggled as Lamont pulled out his Ocarina and played a song. A horse that was black as night galloped toward them and Lamont mounted before pulling Malon on behind him.

"Well then, let's go!"

With that, Lamont and Malon galloped toward the lake at the same time that Link arrived in the Gerudo Valley.

~Fin Ch 2~

Author's Notes: Wow, I changed a lot! Anyway, I'm now starting on Ch 3. Sorry it took so long. I'll try to have Ch 3 up by the weekend, but I'm not promising anything. Encourage me by leaving a review!
