Well, I guess it's only fair to let everyone know what might be happening here. As you are all undoubtedly aware, there was something that I asked Atchika. I don't want to say what yet, because that would ruin it. But I think you all need to know how it might affect this fic, not in the plot, though. See, depending on how long I have to wait for Atchika's response, what her response is, and another factor that I can't say here because it would give it away, this chapter and the next might be all you get for a while. However, if this is the case, there are a few ideas I've had for some short fics, so I won't be completely dormant.

Chapter 6
Day One Hundred Thirty, Two Months Later: Afternoon
Miku & Ruto, Miku's POV
Lake Hylia
My life has been a strange one. To this day, I'm not sure if I was five months old, or nineteen years old. When Link created me in that arena on the moon, I was basically given his past, his memories. Yet, everything was still new to me.
In that sense, I could kind of relate to Ruto. She was getting used to being in a Hylian body, just as I was. However, Zoras and Hylians feel nervousness the same way, so that was not new to her in the least.
See, we were sitting on the edge of the lake, getting ready to dive down to the warp to Zora's Domain. Ruto had not spoken to her father in five months, and he had probably given her up for dead. She needed to let him know what happened to her, but wasn't sure what his reaction would be.
"I don't know if I can do this, Miku. What will he say? What will he do?"
"Listen, Ruto. He will be relieved to know that his only daughter is alive, no matter what form she's in. He'll probably feel a little sorry for you, but it'll be okay. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. And I'll be right there with you the whole time."
"Thanks." She grabbed my hand, and together we dove into the lake and swam through the warp. Coming out in Zora's Domain, we got out of the water and walked the path up to the throne room.
"Hello, young Hylians. Are you ambassadors from the Royal Family, or do you have some other business here?" asked King Zora, completely unaware that the girl I was standing next to was his daughter.
"King Zora, we know of your daughter's disappearance. We know what happened to her, where she is." I figured this would be a good way to start. Looking back, I realize that the king could have easily taken that to mean that we were holding Ruto somewhere.
"Ruto! Where is she? Is she all right?"
"Well, she has changed, but she is all right. As for where she is, she's right here." I could see Ruto to my right as I said this, gathering her courage to speak. She knew that she would have to be the one to tell him.
"What do you mean?"
"It's me, Daddy. It's me, Ruto. Five months ago, I got turned into a Hylian by the goddesses. I couldn't come back here and face you after. I wasn't sure how you would take it."
"Ruto? It really is you! Well, although it does make me sad that you have to go through this, I am otherwise fine with it. However, this does put us into a difficult position. You were the last remaining member of the Zora Royal Family, other than myself. Now, all your descendants will be Hylian."
"Sir, if I may interrupt, my brother, Link, might have a solution to your problem."
"Link? That boy who saved Lord Jabu-Jabu and broke the curse on the Water Temple? I thought he didn't have any siblings! Who are you?"
"My name is Miku. I'm one of Link's identical quadruplets. Our other brothers are Tael, who is now king of Hyrule, and Fado, who lives in the Kokiri Forest. Link's living on Lon Lon Ranch with his wife, Malon. I suppose I should tell you now that I'm your daughter's boyfriend and we've been planning on getting married soon."
"How soon? What sort of wedding do you want?"
"Well, Daddy, we were planning on having a small wedding." Ruto knew these things better than I did, so I let her take care of it.
"If you like, I could perform a private ceremony right now. Since you're currently a Hylian, we couldn't go through with the traditional Zora wedding without raising too many questions." We agreed, and before we knew it, we were married. "Now, I have to ask, what can Link do to ensure that the Zora Royal Family continues?"
"Well, sir, he has this magical item that might help us. However, he's busy right now. Malon's expecting a baby in three months. I'll talk to him about it as soon as I can, though. I'll be back here as soon as I can to tell you what we've come up with."
"I thank you, my son." It hadn't hit me that this was my father-in-law until he said this. "Now, I'll let you and Ruto go. I'm sure it's a long way home for you." I smiled. You could see by the look on his face that he was just coming up with an excuse for me and Ruto to go off and be alone together.
Well, that was the most horrid wedding in all of history, I bet! Still, I hope you all enjoyed it. I wrote that note at the top yesterday, and as of right now, I still don't know what's going on. Atchika still hasn't gotten back to me, although that's understandable, with yesterday being Thanksgiving and all. I think I might try my hand at a LinkNavi fic after the next chapter. I dunno. I guess it just depends on what I feel like writing. I'll probably do a lot of one-shot fics until I find out what's happening here. It seems funny, that this is my story, yet I have no idea what will happen, and I'm not even talking about the plot! *hopes Atchika says yes* Yes, that does mean it was a yes or no question, but I'm not telling you all what it was!
