Well, I'm typing this in the middle of typing chapter 12. You should be able to figure out why.

Chapter 13
Day Two Hundred Two: Early Afternoon
Zelda's POV
Hyrule Castle
"Tael! Come on, we have to go!" I had just called my meeting with Nabooru short so me and Tael could go see Kimiko, and now he was taking forever to get ready. I was standing outside the bathroom. He'd been showering for over two hours. "Nabooru just left a couple minutes ago because I said we were going to Lon Lon Ranch. You're not going to make me lie, dammit!"
"All right, all right! I'm getting out! Just let me dry off and we'll go!" Five minutes later, we were walking through my closet (the warp had been moved up to our new room), coming out in Lon Lon Ranch's storehouse. It was just a short walk to the house. From the storehouse, I could have sworn I saw three girls in front of the house disappear. Hmm...
"Tael! Zelda! Come in!" Malon had just walked outside. "Thanks again, Zelda, for helping me."
"Don't worry about it. Anything for a friend like you." I saw this look on her face, as if I had confirmed something. "Well, Tael has yet to see baby Kimiko, so why don't we go inside?"
"Oh, my. This can't possibly be my niece, can it?" Tael was almost in shock.
"Uh-huh. This is our little Kimiko," replied Malon.
"You know, she's going to be very pretty when she grows up. Link, you'd better get a big stick to beat the guys off."
"Don't worry about that, Tael. With my reputation as Hero of Time, all I'll have to do is glare at them or make some comment about joining Ganondorf and they'll leave my Kimiko alone."
"Ahem. Your Kimiko?" There was a look of false anger on Malon's face.
"Our Kimiko?"
"Much better."
"So, have you seen the goddesses yet?" I asked.
"Yeah, they came. Nayru gave me a letter to give to Kimiko when she turns 16, but she wouldn't tell me what it is or why Kimiko is so important. The only thing she told me is that it's because me and Malon each have a Triforce piece."
"Who knew this would be so important? And this all started before that thing with the Fierce Deity. Well, there's one thing we know. She's going to be normal until she turns 16." Right then, I fainted and fell into a dream.
There was a girl with long red hair. Her eyes were glowing blue, and she was floating in front of the Temple of Time. Standing next to her was a blue fox. The fox started to change, and soon, she was a human girl with blue eyes and hair, and a fox's ears and tail. She was the one who spoke. "Kimiko? Are you sure about this?" That girl was Kimiko?
"I'm positive, Blu. I have no choice. I'm just sorry I had to take the Spiritual Stones from my dad like that, but we need to get the Triforce back to my parents and my aunt before someone else gets it." What? We had lost the Triforce? As I was watching this, a woman appeared next to me. Her eyes, hair, and clothes were blue. I felt some strange sort of connection to her, and my left hand started to feel warm.
"Zelda, you can't tell anybody about this. We need to make sure that Kimiko is not treated any differently until she turns sixteen and reads that letter."
"Nayru?"
"Yeah. I know it'll be hard for you, but just think about what could go wrong if anybody knew about this. Just one thing is that Link could hide the Spiritual Stones. I'm going to have to shield this memory from you. You'll remember it in sixteen years, but until then, you won't remember anything about it."
"All right. Well, if you're going to do it, would you get it over with."
"Okay. You'll wake up and remember none of this." Nayru placed her hand on my arm, and everything faded away. I woke up on the floor of Kimiko's room.
"Zel? Zel, are you okay?" Tael was looking extremely worried.
"I'm fine. I just feel like... I don't know. It's like there's something that I can't remember. It's like I had another of my prophetic dreams, but someone powerful doesn't want me to remember it. All I can remember is Nayru touching my arm in front of the Temple of Time. Then, I woke up."
"Well, at least we know who it was about." Link looked annoyed and understanding at the same time.
"What? Who? How?"
"Kimiko. The one thing the goddesses won't tell us."
"Don't worry, Link. I'm sure sixteen years will pass in the blink of an eye."
"Tael, that doesn't help any. You forget, I've only lived twelve years of my nineteen year life. And you haven't even been alive for a whole year yet."
"True, but there's nothing you can do about it, so don't worry. The goddesses know what they're doing. Well, we'd better be going. See you later!"
"Bye!" We walked outside, and were just about to walk to the back of the ranch to leave, when a horse came riding up. It was Nabooru and... LINK?! "Hi, Nabooru. Who's this?"
"I'd think you'd know. Rown is your brother-in-law, after all."
"Umm, I've never seen him before." Tael looked confused.
"Well, he has to really be another of Link's brothers. There's no way he could look like he does if he wasn't. But... You'd better go inside and talk to Link about it. We'd better be go..." Tael interrupted me.
"Rown, do you have any memories before now?"
"Only waking up on the bridge in front of Gerudo Valley and Nabooru finding me and treating my wounds before bringing me here."
"That's exactly how I was when Link created me with the gauntlet. Either the goddesses just created him, or Link used the gauntlet to split himself in two again," Tael whispered in my ear.
"Well, we know why, but you should hear it from Link. He'll understand better. Well, bye!" As Rown and Nabooru walked inside, me and Tael started back to the storehouse. I was ready for a nap, with Tael beside me.
I couldn't resist putting that little bit of fluff at the end. Well, I'm writing this before I'm done with chapter 12. At this point, I've only written up to the part where Rown and Nabooru get to the ranch. I know you'll have already read it, so don't tell me what happens! Wait a minute... This won't get posted until a few hours after that gets posted, and that can't get posted until I write it, so... D'oh!
