This is it! Malon and Zelda finally meet! Isn't the suspense killing you? I think I've decided to introduce Link into this story after all.

Day One: Late Afternoon/Evening
Malon
Malon walked off to the kitchen with the words of her letter ringing in her head. 'Do NOT, under any circumstances, mention this to anybody, especially to anybody from Lon Lon Ranch.' Malon was afraid that she would run into her father and go to pieces. But when she opened the door, it was not her old dad she was greeted by...
Zelda
Zelda approached the door into the castle's kitchen slowly. She was tempted to just leave the milk there and leave, but she thought of how she would have reacted to that if she had still been the princess. Until now she had been enjoying her new life, but now she was wishing it had never happened. Zelda saw the knob on the door in front of her turn, and she was almost expecting to see the king, but this was not what fate had in mind.
Malon saw Zelda standing there in her clothes and nearly fainted. She knew that this was the former princess of Hyrule, for she had seen her once or twice when she was bringing milk to the castle with her father. It was apparent that Zelda recognized Malon as well, for she had the exact same expression on her face. All memory of the letters they had received melted away and they instantly started talking excitedly.
"Princess Zelda? What are you doing here?"
"I woke up this morning in your bed and I found a letter saying my wish had been granted!"
"Oh, that was from the goddesses, they... Wait. You made the same wish I did?"
"You wished to be princess of Hyrule?"
"Something like that. I was wondering what it was like to live in the castle and I wished I could find out."
"So the goddesses are behind this?"
"Who else could completely switch the lives of the ranch girl and the princess?"
"Good point. I guess that means that you're the seventh sage and have the Triforce of Wisdom as well?"
"Yes, I do. Is there anything you think I ought to know?"
"Yes. Go to my, I mean your, nursemaid, Impa, and ask her to keep training you on how to turn into Shiek. If your necklace there works the same as mine, you should already know enough to keep her from suspecting anything odd. Should I know anything about being you?"
"Don't bother the Cuccos."
"Why?"
"Just DON'T."
"OK. I'd better get back to the ranch, or your dad will worry."
"All right. I'll stop by some time and we can talk more. And I'll make sure to have the cooks start using a lot of milk and order it in small quantities."
"Perfect. By the way, do you think this is permanent?"
"I don't know. I hope it's not. Castle life is nice, but I'd much rather be on the ranch."
"I know the feeling."
Zelda returned to the ranch and collapsed into bed. Back at the castle, Malon did the exact same thing.
Yeah, I know, the dialog was overwhelming. I think I'm going to have carpel-tunnel by the time I'm done with this thing. -_-' Okay. I think that we'll bring in Link in the next chapter. Yay! A whole chapter where I get to take a break from writing about girls! I bet that a girl could write this fic better, considering that the only two characters I've written about, other than Talon's short appearance, are girls. Ugh. Link will be a nice break.
