Final part of this episode. I was fast, weren't I? Too bad this ending sucks as bad as the two before this. So I'm telling you before you read, don't expect a superb ending, I'm not good with them. And I'm not trying to offend anyone, so please don't get mad.

I'm so grateful for those who reviewed again! Thank you!

Link waited for the redhead to fall asleep before he could do what he planned. He watched the fiery boy sleep for a moment, wanting to kiss him, but held himself back because then Roy would wake up and wouldn't let him go.

He stood up, silently so that the general wouldn't wake up. Then he dressed in his green tunic and took the tape recorder from the table where they had left it. He was glad that Roy hadn't asked why he wanted to tape their versions, he wouldn't have had a good answer.

The boy's room's door opened quietly, but to Link it sounded like the sound would've been magnified ten times. He glanced quickly had the redhead awaken, but heaved a relieved sigh when saw Roy still sound asleep.

He closed the door behind him and looked to the both ends of the corridor. It was dark and everyone seemed to be sleeping.

No wonder. It's 2:48.

He sneaked downstairs, listening to the sounds of the silence and darkness around him. The Smash Building was like a different place at night. It was so dark and lifeless and during the day it was filled with life and light.

He saw a dim light in the kitchen, wondering was someone awake at this hour. He went past the door quickly, trying no to make a sound and saw his mini drinking milk around the small table.

Mini-me? What's he doing here?

"Hey, Mini, what's up?" He walked to the kitchen.

"Huh? Link, what're you doing here?"

"I could ask the same." The older elf sat opposite of his younger version.

The small elf looked at the milk bottle on the table in front of him with a thoughtful expression.

"Link, can you help me a bit?"

"Of course, is something the matter?" The blonde's eyes widened.

"I…I kind of like… this one girl…"

"You've fallen in love?"

"No! …I mean… I don't know. She's great and I feel all weird when she walks by me…" Young Link stuttered, fiddling the red hem of his tunic.

"Then I think you've got a crush. Was that what you wanted to know? Because you should get some sleep." The older elf wanted to get going, he'd need to get it done tonight. And soon. Why had he been there so long, just watching the redhead sleep? He should've left a long time ago.

"No… I… I don't… I don't know how to… you know… tell him. Her!"

Huh? Did he say him or her?

"The best way is just to tell her how you feel. Just go to her with a box of chocolates and blurt it out."

Link thought of how he and Roy had ended up together. It hadn't been with a box of chocolates, but this was about a girl, not about the two of them.

"Link! I'm too young for her! And she thinks I'm a child and keeps ignoring me. Treats me like a father. Mother!"

Huh? You're weird, Mini-me.

"You never know before you tell her your feelings. Being rejected is not as bad as living without knowing does she care for you or not."

"I should tell her?" The small elf asked probably more from himself than the blonde.

"Yeah, then you can sleep at night in peace. Now, hop hop, get to sleep." Link stood up, his chair made a loud noise and he grimaced.

"No, I want to know first why you're here." The young elf took a sip of his almost empty bottle of milk.

"Me?" The Hero of Time pointed at himself.

"Yeah, you."

"I'm just… just going for a walk. I need fresh air."

"Why?" Young Link wasn't satisfied with the answer the older him had given.

"Because I want fresh air. I guess I drank too much coffee."

"You don't drink coffee!" The little elven boy stood up as he snapped. Link put a finger on his mouth and hissed.

"Everybody else's sleeping!" He hissed.

"But you still don't drink coffee!" Young Link whispered.

"No, I don't!" Link continued to whisper.

"Then why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you awake and 'going for a walk?'" Young Link didn't let the matter drop.

"Ahh, gosh, Mini." Link shook his head. "I'm going to meet this one person."

"Who?"

Can't you ever stop?

"George W. Bush!"

"Who's that?"

Oh, god.

"No one. Just go to sleep. We can talk in the morning, okay?" Link pushed his smaller self to walk upstairs before he sneaked out to the cool night. As soon as he got out of the door, he checked his watch.

Okay, it's 3:10 I still have plenty of time.

There was no wind, everything seemed to be very still. Some grasshoppers chirped in the grass, trying to find a mate. Link walked in the dim light of the quarter of the moon towards the beach where everything had happened.

The beach was now empty, it was just like he had thought it would be. His only hope was that someone would still come to the beach. The Hero took the cassette from the recorder and tossed it to the beach. It landed softly in the sand and he crouched, waiting for something to happen.

If this doesn't work, I'm probably in jail for the next seven years or even more. 4:35.

5:16

5:43

6:27

My trial begins at noon.

6:59

A girl ran to the beach, seeing the cassette almost right away. Link wanted to dance in his joy, but decided not to. The thought that these worshippers would find him again would mean his death. They would probably recognise his face and when they saw he didn't have the 'equipment' of women, he'd be roasted in a pyre. Or then just drowned.

The girl shouted for someone as she picked the cassette from the ground. Link wanted to do a high-five with himself, but didn't. He was now being a spy. And he knew the risks of getting caught.

Come on, girl… Go home and give the tape to mama…

"Brother!" She yelled.

"What?"

"I found something!"

"What is it?" A tall boy, maybe a few years older than Link came to the beach.

"It's a cassette. I wanna listen to it!"

"Well, then, let's go and use my radio."

Yes, yes, yes!

Link stood up and left to the Smash Building. If he was lucky, he'd be saved and if he was super lucky, Roy would never know. But he knew the general would ask about the cassette sooner or later. Why did they withdraw? Well, he'd think about that later.

---

"Hey, Justiina, I think we should take this to Him. They're talking about Master."

"I wanna take it! I found it!"

"Okay, okay, but hurry!"

---

Link opened the door to the Smash Building, seeing that only a few of the smashers were awake. And Roy wasn't one of them. He sighed inside and went upstairs after saying good morning to everyone.

In the corridor he met with Young Link, who continued from the point where he had left last night.

"You promised to tell me in the morning!"

"Oh, okay." Link sighed. Have I been always this strenuous? "Remember the charge I got a long time ago? The one I've been freaking out for a while?"

"Yeah, the trial's today. Everybody's talking about it." The small elf said.

"Well, I think they'll withdraw."

"What!?" The young elf's eyes opened wide.

"Yeah. You'll see."

"But how has this anything to do with your walk?"

"I made sure they'll withdraw."

"Oh." The puzzled look on his mini's face was disappearing, but not completely.

---

"'How do you know!?' I refused to believe that some weird, old paedophile mermaid would be behind this.

'I just do. And besides, how many currents suck only young girls to the open sea?'

'What? This has happened before?'

'Several times, all over the world.' Link sat down next to me.

'I don't think it has anything to do with this… I think it was small predator fish.' I continued creating a theory. I needed one to cool down myself, to know that there was nothing supernatural there. 'They are gregarious animals, and they hunt fast and furiously. That might explain why she disappeared so quickly and the waves. When they all swim around her, trying to bite, they jump around each other. Water splashes. We were too far to see what was going on, so this is what I think happened.'

'How come I'm not surprised?'

'Why should you b--" He stopped the tape. "What do you think?"

"The other one is no trouble for us. But the other one…"

"Think of it. How much do they know? I think it's just stupid to draw attention when they don't even know anything."

The other one was quiet for a long time.

"They fooled us completely."

Link opened Roy's room's door again and scurried in. Gladly the boy was still asleep, hugging his pillow through his dream. Link locked the door and undressed quickly, knowing that the general could wake up at any moment. And then he'd have lots to explain.

He was being extra careful not to make any noise when he went next to Roy and sighed. The warmth there was so lovely. He put his arm around the redhead gently, not pulling him or caressing, just letting it rest on him. The fiery general snorted silently, hugging the pillow even tighter.

Mission complete. He smiled as he thought of the fox.

He was nearly falling asleep again when he felt Roy move. He felt how the boy pulled him nearer to share his warmth with him. He opened his eyes, they met with those sapphires he knew so well.

"Morning." The blonde said, stretching. He kissed Roy lightly, but let the boy's tongue in his mouth when the general pressed his lips with it. They kissed smoothly for a long time, both enjoying the kiss completely. Roy let out a pleasured groan when it ended and rested his head on Link's chest.

"Where were you?" he asked with a tired tone.

"What?" The elf's ears rocked. He wasn't sure had he heard the boy correctly.

"Where were you last night? You weren't here. I was awake when you left."

"Oh." The Hylian caressed the redhead's body gently. How could that be possible? "I made sure they'll withdraw their charges."

"The relatives?" Roy lifted his head to see in the cerulean eyes of Link's.

"No, the worshippers."

The boy snorted.

"But how?"

Oh, there the question is. How am I going to answer?

"You don't want to know." The Hylian said, regretting it right away. Roy was now even more curious about it.

"You didn't…?" He sat up on Link's stomach, his eyes wide. "The recorder!"

"Exactly." Link looked guilty.

"But…but you said… you said that no one will ever hear it!" The general was flaring up.

"That was the only way to make you tell the story the way it was. But now I've made sure I'm not going to prison."

Roy stared at him for a while, thinking should he get angry or let it be and then decided to let it be. He sighed and lied next to Link, being glad that he wouldn't loose his love.

"I would've killed you if it wasn't for you going to prison."

"I know, Roy." The blonde sighed as he wrapped his hands around Roy.

Mario looked at the letters the postman had given him. There was one that looked like it was made in a hurry, addressed to Link. Weird was that it had no address, it just said: 'to Link.' He looked at it for a long time, trying to find out was it an urgent message or could it wait for breakfast.

He decided that it could wait when he saw a letter addressed to himself and started to read it. Sometimes he got fanmail and he loved to read it. It made him feel so special when someone wrote that he was the best and the one and only and that he should win the tournament.

He was still sorting the mail when the blonde came downstairs, Roy following him.

"Link, there's-a letter to you!" He said, remembering the letter right away when he saw the Hylian.

"Oh, to me?" Link pretended to be surprised and gave the general a quick glance. The fiery boy didn't react, he just stood there, waiting for him to tell what the letter was about.

"See, they withdraw their charges." He said cheerfully to his beloved as he showed the paper to him.

"But this isn't official." Roy said, although he tried to sound like he was being realistic, he couldn't help the hint of a cheerful and happy tone in his voice.

"It's official enough for me." Link smiled and continued. "No one's going to prison, general."

---

"We've got to start being more careful."

"Yes, you will. Now, your daughter as I couldn't get the girl in the green dress." Ahti was standing in the sea, his scales had burned and his chest had a huge hole in the place where the elf's branch had pierced him.

"Yes, Master. She shall be yours."

Wow! I've actually written three complete episodes! The next one might take a while, because I have so many ideas I don't know which one of them use next! Maybe some Young Link's emotions… Or then some Marth… Or then just normal fooling around after something supernatural! Oh, by the way, read "The Tree Dilemma" and try to laugh at the stupid humour, okay? It's my first comedy and probably the last too! Thank you already!
