Young

(please do not let your mind wander while reading this, it is not intended to be perverted)

Two young children, around the age of ten sat on the green grass in Hyrule Castle's rich beautiful courtyard. The young girl was picking red roses and delicate daisies from the nearby flower beds. She would smell each one once and then put them into a elaborate bouquet she was making. The boy who sat next to her had been plaguing her with the same question for an hour, and she pretended not to hear him. He gradually leaned over towards her, inching closer and closer, but she pulled away.

"I don't want to!" yelled the little sunlight haired girl.

"Why not?" asked the honey blonde haired boy. "You owe me!"

"I most certainly do not!" stated the little girl firmly. "You do not even know how!"

"You're the one who said you have never tried it!" laughed the little boy.

"I never said that! You said that!" retorted the girl.

The boy didn't know what to say, because in all actuality she was quite accurate. "Tell you what , if I catch a bigger fish than you when we go fishing today , you have to," he teased. "Plus you have to pretend to like it!"

The little girl wrinkled her nose in disgust. "And if I win?"she asked.

"You do not have to and ....." the honey haired boy began.

"And what?" demanded the young girl.

"I'll never bother you again! I promise!" he finished, quite sure of himself.

The girl was quiet for a moment, "Ohh alright. But it is going to be funny when you are beat by a girl!" she taunted him.

"That isn't going to happen," he said smugly.

Within an hour the two of them sat down by the cool calm lake Hylia, both with fishing poles, hoping to catch a fish. The young girl closed her eyes, "This is boring, Link. We are never going to catch a fish," she told him.

"Quit whining Princess," said Link with a smile, "I just felt something tug on my line!"

"What?! That's not fair! Your cheating!" she exclaimed, as Link began reeling in his big catch. Link leaned backwards pulling on the fishing line, and reeled frantically. He carefully got up and took a few steps backwards, looking for stronger footing. The fish was stronger than he anticipated, and was taking a lot effort from him. He felt himself being pulled forwards a bit and a look of fear rushed over his face. Zelda jumped up quickly and grabbed onto Link's waist , helping him pull backwards. Finally Link pulled the line from the water to find......

"Ewww an old boot!" laughed Zelda as Link stared at his "fish". "Some fish," said Zelda.

"So what, you haven't even caught anything," grumbled Link. "And I didn't need your help I could have reeled it up myself," he said.

"Sure, sure," Zelda said.

"You still have to catch something or you have to," Link chimed.

Zelda's smile faded quickly, "You never said that! You said catch a bigger fish!" she yelled.

"Well I caught something, and you have to catch something better!" Link said with a cunning smile as he playfully reached over and tugged on one of Zelda's golden tresses.

Zelda narrowed her sky colored eyes and grabbed Link's hand to pull him away from her hair.

"Fine! I will catch something better than you. All you caught was an old shoe! I can catch a fish!" she proclaimed.

Thirty minutes later....

Zelda sat down by the lake alone waiting for a fish to pull on the line. Link had given up waiting for her to catch something and could not catch anything more himself, so he was quietly snoozing under the shade of a dark green tree. Zelda's whole body was beginning to go numb from all the sitting and she wondered what in all of Hyrule made people sit still like this. Just for fish! Were they insane?

An hour later.....

The Princess still sat in the same place, trying to keep her neck from snapping back, because sleep was trying to consume her. It was a soft breezy spring day, it was somewhat warm yet relaxing. And the affect it had on her was making her drowsy. Link had awoke and was making mud pies nearby, every once in awhile he would sneak up behind Zelda and dump mud into her hair, and run away laughing because she knew she could not get up. If she screamed or even wiggled when he put mud in her beautiful blonde hair, she would scare away the fish and she knew it.

An hour and forty five minutes later....

Link was off swimming in the distance no where near Zelda, because when he tried to get into the water near where she was fishing , a rock was thrown at him. Link plunged deep into the crystal clear water and held his breath, trying to swim deeper each time. Then he scurried out of the water, climbed up a not so steep cliff and did a cannonball off the edge. After doing this about fifteen times, he found it unamusing. Link climbed out of the water and took off his cap and shook his head back and forth , like a dog would. He wrung out his cap and put it back on and found his boots. Putting them on, he walked over towards Zelda. He had planned to sneak up on her , but the squishy sound his boots made sort of gave him away. Link took a seat next to Zelda, as close as possible, and stared at her until she turned to look at him.

"What?" she questioned him rudely.

Link smiled big at her impatience, "You are never going to catch anything, Zel. Why don't you just admit you lost?" he said leaning in close to her.

Zelda moved away and stared at him, "It's not over yet! Any second now...." she said her voice trailing off as she stared down into the deep cerulean water, willing a fish to bite on the line.

As if on cue, a fish pulled on the line. Zelda began reeling the fish in. After a five minute struggle, she managed to pull.....

a tiny trout of the water. "Aww he's cute," said Zelda admiring her fish. " I'm going to let him go, I don't want to hurt him."

Link glared her, very miffed about the fact that he could not catch a fish. "So what! I caught something bigger than you did, so you still have to!" he said triumphantly.

"Linky, you caught a boot! I caught a fish! I win! And you are not ever allowed to ask again," she told him.

Link hung his head in defeat. It was true, while he had caught a large old shoe, Zelda had been the one who caught the fish. She won fair and square. He was outdone by a girl! Link swallowed hard, his throat feeling dry as he cleared his throat to admit defeat. "Alright, Zelda. You won ....." he said sadly. "I promise I won't ask you ag-" Link jumped in shock as he felt Zelda's lips touch his for a brief second. Zelda pulled away blushing a bright scarlet and giggling uncontrollably. "Okay Mr. Hero, you got what you wanted!" she told him.

Zelda jumped up quickly still giggling, "Come and get me!" she yelled over her shoulder. Link got up as fast as he could and darted after her. "Come back Zel! I want a real kiss! What do you call that?
