Link grinned at the other blonde, despite the fact on the inside he was a
little let down. He knew he could never replace this Squall guy, so why did
he even bother? ~Because he's perfect...~ Suddenly Link's thoughts were
interrupted by flying pants being thrown at him. "Hurry up, I'm hungry!!!"
Cloud whined, as he waited for Link by the door. Link just rolled his eyes.
At breakfast 2 other people joined Link and Cloud. A girl about
Links age with red hair, and an old man. The girl giggled and blushed as Link
smiled at her. Cloud nudged Link for introductions.
"Oh right! Um... the girl is Malon and Talon is her father. " Link
explained to Cloud. They all ate quickly and soon Malon, link and Cloud were
out in the field were the horses were.
"Ok first you need to find a horse." Malon told Cloud. Cloud looked around
at the bunch of horses and picked a gray horse with white spots.
~oOOoOooO pretty! ~
"Ok now hop on."
"...How?" Cloud asked looking a bit puzzled, while Link had a fit of
hysterics.

*3 hours later*
Cloud had finally got the hang of riding Star, as Malon called it, and was
ready to return to their journey. Malon gave Link about 10 milk bottles and
some food.
The two boys finally gathered up their stuff, said their goodbyes, and left
Lon Lon Ranch.
"I thought that we could go to Gerudo Valley first," Link said after the got
back out to Hyrule Field. "I'm not really sure where Ganon is right now, but
that's probably the most likely place."
Cloud started to agree, but then an odd vision flashed over his eyes. In a
few seconds, he saw a blur of green and song and sun and magic.
"No." he said suddenly. "No... They're in... the forest? Yah... the
forest..." he spaced out... looking towards the East.
"How do you know?" Link asked a bit suspiciously.
"I'm... not sure... I just... know. Please. They're in the forest. Or at
least... Squall is..." he looked pleadingly at Link.
"No! Oh no! We're looking for Ganon. Squall will have to wait. If Ganon
gets too powerful... the whole world could die, not just your precious Squally."
He realized a second too late how spiteful that sentence had sounded, and
how calloused. He looked over just in time to see Cloud's sky blue eyes
looking completely hurt and betrayed.
"I'm sorry Cloud. I didn't mean it that way. It's just-"
"No. Maybe you're right. Maybe I shouldn't worry so much about Squall. I
shouldn't be so selfish. We'll go to Gerudo Valley." And with that, Cloud
kicked Star into a cantor and rode of down the path (in the wrong direction).
~Oh god, why did I say that? How could I do that to him? ~ Was all Link
could think as he chased down the other man.
Link finally got caught up to Cloud and tried to explain his harsh words.
"Cloud I didn't mean it..." Cloud met his sapphire blue eyes to Link's ocean
Blue ones. "I don't need excuses for what you said... but Link, I thought you
cared about me. I'm really worried about Squall, I mean, I love him!" Links
Heart sank as soon as the "L-word" was spoken out of Cloud's perfect lips.
Guilt began to grow as Cloud continued to speak. "You said you would be there
for me..."Cloud trailed off. Link was speechless. Link was about to
say something, but decided not to because it might make things worse. So he
just thought it to him self. ~Cloud, I think I love you, but I will do
anything in my power to make you happy. ~ And with that, Link lightly kissed
Cloud on the forehead, and Cloud looked up. "Are you ready to go to the
forest?" Link asked the other blonde. Cloud a little shocked by the
question, just stood there and smiled, and out of nowhere he wrapped his arms
around Link. "Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!"
ok now go review...
