~*Chapter 2: Dinner at Lon Lon Ranch*~
For the rest of the day, Malon was busy. When she wasn't worrying about her upcoming dinner with Link, she was fixing up the stable, (which was where she planned to spill her soul to Link), cooking, or setting things up out in the corral. Since her lazy dad and his jerk of a partner, Ingo, were off in Termina for three weeks, Malon had the house to herself. It was getting later and later, although Malon didn't seem to notice. She did observe, however, that it was starting to get shadowy, meaning Link would be there in precisely one hour. Malon put the salad aside and went to look through her closet. Unfortunately, her one good dress was now too small for her, so, again, she went to see Zelda. She returned to the ranch twenty minutes later with a stunning lilac dress, matching high-heels, and a charming pearl necklace. Malon had just enough time to get changed, set the table, and bring out the food be fore Link arrived riding Epona. He was also carrying a corsage the same color as her dress.
"Oh, Link, how lovely!" exclaimed Malon happily. "You knew just the right thing to bring!" "Aw, it was nothing, my dear," said Link modestly.
Malon now led Link to the corral, where a table all set, dishes piled with food, was waiting. Link couldn't sustain his shock at how well Malon had set things up. Even Zelda, who gave fancy banquets and such a lot, couldn't have done a better job. Malon and Link ended up eating too much because the food was so good. Malon thought about bringing out dessert, but thought against it, as Link looked as if he was going to explode.
"Come on, Link," said Malon. "You'll feel better if you get up and move for a while."
He pouted adorably, but got to his feet and followed Malon, who took off in a hurry in a lap around the corral. When they finished, Link did feel much better, but still pretty full. He and Malon made their way toward the stable. When he stepped inside, Link gasped; it no longer looked like a stable. Instead, it looked like a fortune-teller's shop. Beautifully designed curtains hung everywhere, and it didn't smell like cattle. Malon sat down on a pillow and motioned for Link to sit on the one next to her.
"Link," said Malon seriously, "I asked you here tonight because I have something extremely important to tell you."
"What is it?" asked Link, looking concerned.
"Link, I- oh, I can't say it; you'll be mad and hate me for it."
"Malon, I'm your friend. I won't get mad for a little thing like that, I promise," soothed Link.
Malon looked at Link for a few moments, took a deep breath, and said, "I love you, Link, really truly love you. I've loved you ever since we met when we were both kids."
Link fixed his gorgeous blue eyes on her for a minute and said, "Malon, I love you, too. When you came to my house last week, I couldn't stop thinking about you for the rest of the day. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Oh, Link!" she exclaimed, bursting into tears. "Of course I'll be your girl!"
The new couple stood up then, and Link leaned over and kissed Malon's full red lips. She leaned into the kiss, and when they parted, Malon wanted more, so the kissing continued well into the night.
They didn't know it, but Princess Ruto of the Zoras, was spying on them through one of the windows. She was very upset because she had a MAJOR crush on Link-like Malon, but more annoying. She was ALWAYS ambushing Link when he wasn't expecting it. Ruto watched in horror as Malon French-kissed Link, HER Link. She cried as she saw Link return the kiss. Having seen enough, Ruto ran from the ranch, hot tears stinging her eyes.

Before they knew it, it was 11:00 pm, and Malon was exhausted; she'd had a LONG day. Link and Malon finally broke apart, and Malon yawned tiredly. She entwined her fingers with Link's gloved ones, and rested her head on Link's shoulder.
"Link? Will you stay with me tonight, seeing how late it is and all?" asked Malon mischievously. Ohh, how she longed to sleep with Link!
"Yes, of course, sweetie," said Link, knowing full well what would happen.
