Spirit: Destiny's new hope

Chapter 2: Heat always gets the best of us

Link began to contemplate about what Zelda said. "Oh...I see now...sort of..." Link said himself, still puzzled, walking over towards the window and looked out at the beautiful land.

"Anyway, I need the both of you to go around Hyrule and check on how everything is. I feel like something's not right in Hyrule," Zelda paused as if she was thinking. "I just need some assurance that everything's good. Please, come back about the same time tomorrow and report to me. Am I understood?"

"Yes ma'am. Let's hit the road, Jack" Liea nodded while flipping her sunglasses over her eyes like and agent from MIB.

"Jack? My name is Link." Link said bewildered scratching his head

"I know silly. Lets get going before sundown." Liea giggled.

Link and Liea strolled down the huge steps outside of the castle walked into Hyrule Market. In the market, Liea hopped from stand to stand amazed at all the fruit, flowers and other goods displayed. She felt like a little kid, and looked like one too.

Some of the townspeople stared at Liea like she was possessed. "You think that girl is possessed by an evil spirit?" An older woman who was selling flowers asked.

"Nah, she seems more like one of those crazy farm kids." A man with a weird accent responded.

"Wow! All this stuff is so adorable!" Liea found a small white daisy and placed it on top of Link's ear. "Oh, Link, you look so pretty!" Liea giggled as Link's face began to burn red.

"You look like you've never been shopping or even in a market place before."

"Back home I'm considered the shopping queen!" Liea began to brag. "I've just never seen a cuter Bazaar before."

Link shrugged his shoulders, removed the flower and placed it back with the others. Link managed to keep Liea calm and walked through the rest of the market. They reached the gate walked out of it, which was leading to Hyrule field.

"It's so hot here! Back home that heat was just as tormenting, and no rain could be seen for miles around literally." Liea, waving her hand next to her face, stood next to the moat and was tempted to jump in.

"I agree; this heat is most unusual. I really don't know why it's like this. It's never this hot." Link responded looking around and got an idea.

Link slowly walked up behind Liea trying not to make any sudden movements or sounds. Luckily for Liea, she knew Link was behind her; so she acted cool and stood still. Just as Link was going to push Liea in the water, she turned around and grabbed Link's arm and threw him into the water. Liea began to laugh and felt proud of the deed she had just performed.

Link finally rose up from under the water and gasped for air thinking of revenge. "Hey you! What was that for?! You're going to pay for this!" Link yelled out squeezing the water from his hat.

"Ha ha! I highly doubt it!" Liea retorted arrogantly putting her hands to her hips.

Link leaped from the water and clutched Liea's ankle, who was still standing. She fell onto the ground and began dragging on the ground and moving towards the water by Link's muscular power.

"Ha, ha! You're mine now Liea!" Link snickered.

"Whoa! Hey now big fella! Stop...PLEASE!" Liea shouted trying to hold onto some grass, but she was slipping away to quickly. Liea found, in the mist of struggling, that she was already up to her knees in the water. "I'm serious Link. I give! I give up! I'll do anything, just don't pull me in the water and farther! Link, you numskull! SSTTTOOOPPPP!!"

"Anything?" Link asked cunningly.

"Yes, just stop will ya?" Liea screamed.

"OK!"

Link let go of Liea's ankle and she climbed up the side of the bank to get out. Liea, trying to dry off her legs, sat on the side of the bank irritated at Link.

"I'm sorry, Liea, but I just had to get you back." Link said finally climbing out himself.

Liea folded her arms and turned the opposite way of where Link was now standing. "Humph. Well, what do you want me to do since I said I'll do anything?" There was an awkward moment of silence. "So what's it going to be?" Liea sulked waiting for her punishment.

Link held out his hand to help Liea up. Liea slowly turned around to see Link standing there sincerely. Liea raised an eyebrow and hesitantly reached for his hand to pull her up.

"You said anything, right?" Link asked again acting innocent.

"Unfortunately, yes." Liea replied getting depressed.

Link placed his hand on Liea's shoulder and smiled. He then pulled Liea close to himself and kissed her, squeezing her tight against his chest. Link let go of his grip and looked at Liea's surprised expression.

"Wow...that was interesting. I was expecting something more like slave labor, but I guess this will have to do." Liea smiled while Link stood there almost about to burst out in laughter. All of a sudden Liea's smile suddenly turned into a disgusted glare when she felt a wetness sink into her clothing. Link had tricked Liea and soaked her clothes in water.

"Link! You little sneak! How dare you do that!" Growled Liea.

"I told you had to get you back! So I did." Link folded his arms.

Liea gave Link the "evil eye" and screamed at the top of her lungs. She exploded and charged at Link and pushed him onto the ground. Link quickly grabbed Liea's arms and pulled her down with him. Liea fell on top of Link and then she started to swing her arms trying to hit him, but Link just held her arms above himself.

"You think you're going to hit me, huh?" Link asked lying on the ground laughing to himself.

"C'mon! Just one good shot at you!" Liea wailed struggling with her flailing arms.

"You're going nowhere fast, Liea."

"Fine! I'll just stop then." Liea retorted folding her arms and giving a heavy sigh while now sitting on top of Link.

"Seesh, you're a fiery little thing aren't you? Now can you please get off of me?!" Link said trying to breathe.

"No."

"Don't make me do it."

"Do what?"

Link began to tickle Liea and she fell next to him laughing hysterically.

"Not fair, not fair! Ok, ok!" Liea screamed.

"That's better. Now I can actually breathe!" Link said still lying on the ground.

"Hey! Watch it!" Liea, now lying next to Link, sneered.

"Just joking! You're definitely turning into Liana, from what Zelda told me about her personality." Link said starting to get more serious.

Liea just stared in wonder. She didn't know what to say. Everything was still buzzing around her head as fast as ever.
