Am I supposed to have a disclaimer?!? I saw them on a few other stories. Ok, I do not own The Legend of Zelda or some of the characters used in this story. Miyamoto san does ^_^

            "Saria?" he whispered. The green haired Kokiri girl stirred, and then sat up. "Link!" she exclaimed and embraced her childhood friend. Saria would be 17, same as Link but the Kokiri never grow up, they stay children forever. She barely reached his stomach! He picked her up and hugged her properly, then set her down and reclined on the bed. "Why aren't you in your house?" he asked. "Oh," she began, and then busied herself with opening the window. "Well, I missed you so much," she said. "I'm sorry Saria. I was gone for too long." She smiled at him and asked, "So...what have you been up to?" Saria sat on a chair to listen to Link tell her about life in the castle. "That sounds so wonderful, I wish I could leave this forest for once!" She sighed. No true Kokiri could ever leave the forest or they would die. The only places Saria had seen were the village, lost woods, her Forest Temple, and of course the Temple Of Time. She was a sage and the guardian of the Forest Temple. "I wish I could bring you to the castle, and the lake!" Link said

            "Anyway, why are you here?" Saria asked. He put on an exaggerated face of surprise. "To see you!" he exclaimed. Saria giggled. Just then, the door flew open and two other girls ran into the room. It was Kairi and Sora, the only twins in the village. They ran over to link and clung onto his arms. "YOURE HERE!!!" they yelled. "Whoa! Yeah….I missed you too...gerroff!" Link struggled to get the girls off of him. When he finally succeeded, they sat to listen to his story. After a few minutes of catching up, Link got up and left, the Kokiri girls following behind him.

            "I want to see Mido, and the Deku Sprout," he told Saria. "I'll come with!" she offered. The sisters ran to another house, most likely to tell the other Kokiri about their beloved Links return. He reached Mido's house and remembered how Mido used to tease him about not being true Kokiri, and never missed the chance to belittle him. He knocked on the door and a small boy with red hair and freckles opened the door. "Hey Link!" Mido greeted, shook his hand and invited them in. Link sat on the spare bed and Mido told him about all that had happened in the forest since he had been gone. Obviously, all former hard feelings were forgotten since Link had saved the forest for the second time. After chatting, Mido invited them to dinner that evening. Link agreed and then went outside.

            "I forgot how good this forest makes you feel!" Link exclaimed. He stretched and yawned. "I feel like I could run a marathon!" Saria smiled at him and suggested that they go see the Deku Sprout. Link ran ahead, skipping over the rocks that sat in the spring. She stared at him from across the water. She was surprised to see him so playful, for she had seen him at his most serious. "Come on Saria! You take forever!" Link exclaimed. She ran and jumped across the rocks, just as Link had done. "Tadaa!" She exclaimed and threw her arms up. Saria and Link walked close together as they entered the Deku.
