I finally got this one typed! Alright! Stupid school, always giving out
homework. Just who do they think they are?! Well anyway, as always, and
you're probably tired of hearing me say it, ENJOY!
+++++++++++++++++
They both out into the night. Lake Hyla looked a lot different in the darkness of night. The Guways that were normally swooping overhead were now perched, resting peacefully atop the lakeside laboratory's outlook post, high atop the building. All the octorks have retreated to the depths of the lake for a safer slumber. The water tektites didn't really move at all, they just remained where they were to sleep the night away. The cricket's merry chirp was beginning to fade into the night air, and all but a few fireflies remained to finish off the night's dance party.
Link sidled his way back to the main land and turned to lend a helping hand to Naomi, so that she may cross the small ledge safely. She made it across just fine but Link's hand still lingered on her own. "Uh, Link, I made it ok.." "Shhh, do you hear something?" She inched closer to him, their heads only a few inches apart. "What is it?" she whispered in his ear, trying to hear what it might be.
""Gods she's close, uh"" "Link, it sounds kinda like a, clip clop, like a horse." ""Her breath is tickling my ear. GAH! Why is my hand all sweaty"" Link looked down and suddenly realized he still held her hand. ""Oopsy"" he looked up at her face and slowly released her hand. "Uh, yeah Naomi, it, it sounds like there's more than one of them." "Liiiink, Naooomi," they heard out in the distance. "Where are you?" "Hey, that sounds like Navi," said Naomi walking towards the sound. ""Phew, man"" "Yeah, and the other one sounded kinda like Malon."
The sound was getting louder and soon they could see a small ball of light hovering a few feet into the air followed by the light of a poe lantern.{ Poe, these are ghost like monsters that always carry with them a lantern. The lanterns are usually pretty ornate. The poe will sometimes spout fire form their lanterns at you, or they'll just hit you upside the head with them, whichever works best. I wouldn't mind having one, they look really cool!}.
"Hey Link, Naomi!!! Where'd ya'll get to?" This from Malon who was riding one of the spare ranch horses, holding the lantern up high so that she might see into the darkness. Epona and Storm closely followed Malon, apparently afraid to out of the ranch so late at night. "Over here!" yelled Naomi as she and Link ran towards them. Navi seemed in quite a mood as she spoke to Link and Naomi,
"Grrrrr! Where have you two been?! I've been looking all over this lake to find you. I've found something that could be a clue. But when I called out to you two to come and get it, you were nowhere in sight! Finally I just gave up looking by myself and went to go get Malon to help me look." They both looked at Malon and who smiled and waved at them. "It's real late so I brought Epona and Stormie to help bring you two back to the ranch. You can spend the night there if you wanna. But first you probably find this clue Navi keeps going on about." "Both of you! Follow me, I'll take you to where I found it." So the three of them followed Navi to the entrance under the water that leads to the Zora city. "Right there, under the water. There's a bottle with something in it under there!" "I'll get it," piped Link in mid- dive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Link, Naomi and Malon all sat around an abandoned milk crate in one of the many sheds that littered the ranch. Link pulled out the bottle and popped the cork. He shook the bottle a few times over his hand until the contents of the bottle lay in his hand. "It's a letter," he said as he unrolled the piece of paper. "What dose it say Link?!" asked Malon excitedly, she was very pleased that they were letting her in on their little mission. "Hmm, well it says:"
Please help! I'm inside of Lord Jabu Jabu's belly.
~Princess Rutu~
P.S. Please don't tell my father about this.
_ - _ - _ - _ - _ - _- _ - _ - _
"Well what are we gonna do Link? We have to tell her father!" "Hmm, where is this," he referred back to the letter, "Lord Jabu Jabu anyway? We could just we want to search that area for clues. Then I'm sure he'd let us check it out." "Yeah! That way he'll just lead us right to him."
"Great! It's settled then. You can both set off in the morning. I'll make a place for you in the spare horse stalls. I'll come out and stay with you too. It'll be like a sleepover! I've never had any friends come over and stay with me! YAY! This is gonna be so much fun!" and before they could say a word she was off to the house to get all the things they would need.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Malon! What are you all excited about?" Talon asked his overly happy daughter. She looked up at her father and beamed ear to ear. "Link and Naomi are going to stay the night tonight!" she went back to gathering her things. "Are you going to be stay'n with them out there?" She looked up once again, and if it was even possible, smiled even wider.
"Yup! Sure am!" She finished gathering all their things, kissed her father good-bye and ran out the door. Talon stud outside the door watching them all get settled through the open door of the horse barn. ""Hmm, now ain't that nice. Malon finally has some friends her age. All her friends are her at the farm, the cows and chickens and the horses. She's finally got someone to talk to."" Talon smiled to himself. He looked up into the sky that was now sprinkled with stars, the glow from the barn door stopping a few feet in front of him. He continued to look at the sky.
""Hun, you'd be proud of our little Malon. She grows more and more beautiful every day. If only you could still be here, see it for yourself. Well, I'm sure you're watching over her from where ever you may be, you can see just how lucky we are."" His thoughts were soon interrupted by a small little light that came hovering over to him. "You're Navi right?" "Yup, *sigh*" "What's troubling you little one?"
"I can't believe Link and Naomi totally forgot all about finding the princess! They went off and went fishing all day! They are so immature!" ""Could, could the Great Deku Tree have been mistaken when he sent these children from the forest? He knew so much about them, their past. He never really talked about it much though."" "Your right Navi, they ARE immature. They're only 10 for cry'n out loud! Everyone gets a little off course sometimes, and children just can't seem to help it. They'll be right back on track tomorrow, you'll see. I'm sure it won't happen again, they're good kids." "I really hope your right."
"Well, if not, you can just keep riding their asses, I'm sure they'll get tired of your complaining soon enough and just give in!" *ha ha ha ha!* "Heh, yeah that sounds about right!" "See Navi, those kids look to you for guidance, you can't just give up on them. You'll help them find their way till one day they'll be old enough to take care of themselves." He smiled at Navi, and if you could have seen it, she was smiling back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They spent all the night in the horse stalls, sleeping peacefully until morning. Link and Naomi rose to the smell of bacon and eggs. Malon had gotten up extra early so that they wouldn't go out to battle on an empty stomach.
"You both go on ahead and take Epona and Stormie with ya. They need the exercise and you'll get to the Zora Domain a lot faster. Good luck to you two, don't forget to come back and see me when you're done! You can tell me all about it!"
So off they rode into the rising sun. They waved good-bye as they went. Naomi turned to face the front after about waving her arm off. "I think we should go back to the domain thru the underwater tunnel. It might be further away, but a least it's safer." "Not to mention, you probably want to use that necklace of your again, don't you?" She laughed, "Maybe I do huh. What are you gonna do about it?"
"We'll have a race, to see which way is really better. You go thru the underwater way, and I'll got the dryer way." "What will I get when I win?" "You mean IF you win." "Yeah, whatever. Come on, I'll give you what ever you want, now what do I get?" "Bragging rights." "That's it?! Come on! Give me something better than that!" "Nope, all I want is bragging rights, that's fair, I mean come on, what the heck do I want besides rubbing it in your face that I was right and you were," "ALRIGHT! Bragging rights it is. Navi, you count us off, to three."
"Naomi, I don't think you guys splitting up is such a great idea. By now Ganondorf has got to know something's up, what if he's out there looking for you? What if one of you runs into him with out the other to back each other up?" Naomi rolled her eyes. Then suddenly she got an idea, a sly smile overtaking her face she said, "Hey Navi,"
"Uh, yeah?" "How many signs do you see over there?" "Um, one, but what dose that have to do with anything?" Naomi looked at Link and gave him a wink, he caught on and, "Uh, hey Navi, How many Guways do you see flying over there?" He asked pointing into the sky. "Huh? I see two Guways! What." "And Navi, how many pieces of the Triforce where there again?" "Naomi! There's three pieces! You guys, why are you..." But they were off, galloping as fast as they could in opposite directions. "Thanks Navi!" they called behind them. Link and Epona where headed for the river path, Naomi and Storm heading for the lake. "HEY!!!! Wait a minuet, YOU GUYS TRICKED ME!!!!!!!"
