Chapter 2: Fairy Boy?
Link looked out his window as he watched a certain red head on a horse ride away from the castle. A small grin tugged at his solemn face and he quickly felt an odd sensation inside of him. He had never felt this way before. Perhaps he was hungry…
"I must be…" Link thought to himself, quickly walking away from the window. He noticed that it was probably noon about now so he quickly rushed down the halls and stairs, grinning like a mad-idiot, which, by the way, he probably was. He walked into the kitchen, greeting the cooks with his famous smile.
Most of the cooks just wanted to swoon then and there, but fortunately, they collected themselves and asked what he wanted. He told them what he wanted, two sandwiches and a drink, and they quickly handed it to him. He thanked them several times before turning his heel and leaving the kitchen.
As he was walking through the halls, which were leading him to the entrance, he was thinking to himself on where he would eat. The market place was to crowded at this hour, his room would have been to lonely, and today he felt like he should eat at the garden, but he remembered that Zelda had a guest over and they were at the garden, eating at their own picnic. Link, being the gentleman he was, didn't want to disturb the two so he continued to walk. A thought struck him. What about Lon Lon Ranch? He shook his head furiously, fighting back with the thought that Malon wouldn't want him at her home since they hadn't talked in two years. He quickly decided that Lake Hylia would be best for him.
-- To the Hyrule Fields where Malon is! XD --
Malon had done her father's errands all morning and Keira was starting to get tired. She sighed heavily and quickly decided that she would bring Keira to Lake Hylia so she could rest there and Keira could frolic about in the water and on land. She whispered into Keira's ear causing her to nicker softly. Malon was soon off to Lake Hylia, the wind blowing her long scarlet hair off of her tanned shoulders. She was very surprised when Keira stopped and started to rear into the air. Malon quickly jumped off of Keira and tried to settle her down, but Keira had already bolted off like there was no tomorrow towards the ranch. Malon sighed, "There goes my ride…" she thought to herself. Slowly, she started to trudge her way to Lake Hylia.
-- To the Market Place --
Link wandered about, looking at the wonderful people dancing, talking, singing, and, of course, fighting. He grinned as he saw a little girl chase a cucco around in circles, trying to catch it. His happy smile quickly widened as he saw girls his age, and younger, giggle as he passed by. He waved to them, making some simply swoon, and others giggle like there was no tomorrow. He finally reached the draw bridge where he quickly pulled out his ocarina and played with one hand while the other held the bag in which held his lunch. He played Epona's Song and quickly heard a neigh not far from here. In a flash, Epona appeared and Link quickly got onto her back and both were soon off to their destination. As Link was riding, he noticed a scarlet haired girl trudging up the lush, green hills. He stopped Epona in front of the girl and her head looked up to see who stopped. Her beautiful sapphire eyes stared intently at the man that had stopped her walk to a halt. Link tried his best to remember why this girl looked so familiar. It was then that the girl broke the awkward silence.
"Fairy boy?"
-- At Lake Hylia --
"…AND ONE OF THE CUCCOS WAS DANCING, PRANCING, SWAGGERING LIKE IT WAS DRUNK! You should have been there!!!" Malon imitated a drunken swagger to give a better effect at what she had just said.
"Alright, alright, alright, Malon!" Link grinned, "I get the picture…so what's been going on?" he turned his head towards the setting sun, as it was giving the sky a crimson and pink-ish tint.
"Well, nothing really," Malon grinned slightly, setting herself into a laying position, "Ingo's just away and I'm stuck with dad's errands…pretty much it."
Link nodded, though Malon couldn't exactly see it.
"So how's living in the castle with Princess Zelda?" she asked casually, trying her best not to sound disgusted.
"Fine, I guess. Though she can tend to get on your nerves with her meetings at 5 in the morning."
"Ah…"
"Yeah."
Once more there was an awkward silence.
Malon couldn't exactly stand the tension anymore, "Why didn't you visit me?"
Link paused, as if to ponder on a suitable answer for her. Finally, he said, "I dunno."
She quickly sat up, giving Link a menacing glare, "You don't know?" the words "don't know" were said quite venomously and very slowly.
He chuckled nervously, "Yes…?"
Malon growled under her breath and quickly laid back down.
Suddenly, Nabooru appeared, "Link! Princess Zelda's looking for you!"
"Ah!" Link had totally forgotten about the mission he was to do at this very moment.
She walked up to him and handed Link a map of the locations of the Temples, "Just follow the map. Now c'mon! We gotta get to the castle."
Malon's growl grew louder and a scowl appeared on her face. She was quite angry that Link would just ditch her like that.
Nabooru quickly added, "Well, I better get going! See ya there!" with that said Nabooru was off.
Link finally noticed Malon's angry self and quickly said, "Listen, how bout tomorrow I drop by your place so we can catch up on everything? I gotta go for now."
Malon nodded slightly, making a slight ruffle with the grass.
"C'mon! Get on Epona. I'll drop you off by the ranch."
Malon sat up and murmured, "That's alright."
"You sure?"
Malon quickly got up and dusted imaginary dust off of her skirt and blouse, "Yeah."
"Alright. Take care, Malon!" Link gave Malon a quick hug before jumping onto Epona's back and galloping off to the castle.
Malon felt an odd tingle and the warm feeling in which Link had given her stayed. She smiled a little at this and was soon walking back to her home.
-- At Hyrule Castle --
Link leaped off of Epona and met up with Zelda and the rest.
"LINK! I was so worried!" Zelda leaped into Link's arms making the boy quite confused.
"I was only gone half of the afternoon…" Link murmured, "Did something happen?"
Zelda pulled away, "Yes! We were searching EVERYWHERE for you! That's what happened!"
Link nodded slowly, "Right." He briskly walked away towards Impa and Darunia, "Now that I've gotten the map from Nabooru…LET'S KICK SOME NEGATIVE BUTT!"
"Hold on brave and thick-headed!!!" (A/N: HA! A quote from the famous Blaze! 'Cept it was Brave and Baka. LOL) Impa muttered sternly, "You cannot go without this." A small "poof!" sounded and in an instant, a small scroll appeared in Link's right palm.
"What's this, Impa?"
"A scroll from the Sages. It has all of our real signatures. When it is needed, you will be able to use it. Other then that, you cannot open it." She grinned slightly.
"So…can I kick some Negative butt now?" still frozen in his kick-ass pose.
"Go ahead."
Without waiting for anyone else to stop him, he rushed off to Epona and climbed back on. He soon started to gallop towards Death Mountain, where from there, he would be able to go to the Temple of Faith and finally be able to defeat the new evil arising.
