Info: Ah yes, chapter two. I was ACTUALLY planning on making this a one-shot... but, that didn't happen, now did it? Again, I write this ONLY when I have writer's block with G-rated Innocence, so it may not be updated for a while....

Chapter Two-Discovering of War

"You've never ridden a horse?" asked Link as Fay settled herself into one of Malon's horses' saddles. This black one was named Iris, and had taken a liking to Fay.

Fay shook her head, replying, "I've never even sat on one before." Kathy was already trotting around the ring on her mahogany brown horse, Teryn.

"Yes you have, you liar!" Kathy cried, stopping Teryn about three yards away.

"That doesn't count! I cried until my mom got me off!" cried Fay, blushing. Link raised an eyebrow in question.

"When she was two her mom put her on a horse... She wouldn't let it move. She cried until her mom finally picked her up off the horse," replied Kathy, trotting up to them.

"Pity!" cried Malon, petting the sunset-colored horse, Epona. Link, mounted on Epona, nudged her forward into a trot, then run.

He called over his shoulder, "Watch and learn!"

Fay called back, blushing furiously, "Show off!"

Two hours later, Fay was jumping Iris over a small fence in the middle of a ring.

"Good girl...!" she whispered into the horse's ear. Iris snorted in reply.

"Can we go now?" asked Link, pulling Epona to a stop beside her.

Fay considered, then called to Kathy, who was talking with Malon, "Get Teryn and let's go!" Kathy stood, nodding a good-bye to Malon, and hopped onto Teryn, riding up beside Link and Fay.

"Lead the way, hero," she said to Link, steering Teryn aside. Fay scoffed and grinned, doing the same. Link rolled his eyes.

"Women...." he mumbled as he rode out of the gate marking the entrance to Lon Lon Ranch. Kathy followed, then Fay.

"When should we get there?" Fay called to Link.

Link called back, "About nightfall, if we're lucky!"

Kathy sighed, then said, "This is going to be a long ride!"

Link seemed to be trying not to yell. Fay, on the other hand, was trying not to laugh.

"The world you speak of... This 'fourth relic...' You really think it exists?"

Link replied with gritted teeth, "Yes Zelda, for the umpteenth time! I believe these girls! It's more possible than it sounds. And, with the Sages' powers becoming unstable, and the Seal losing its affect-"

"Link," interrupted Zelda, "You seriously believe them? You think there is another Relic besides the three pieces of the Triforce?"

"It makes sense!" cried Link. "Do you not understand?! The Seal is fading! Gannon will return, and seek to control this other world! He could have a whole army at his command in the blink of an eye!"

"Not to mention weapons. We have plenty of weapons on Earth. We even have a bomb that could blow up all of Hyrule and everyone in it! Princess, you must understand this situation!" Kathy cried.

"You, girl, are not in a position to tell me about anything that would threaten my country!" cried Zelda, turning a wrathful gaze upon Kathy. Kathy flinched.

"Princess, you want proof?" Link cried, walking over to Fay. He pulled back a strand of hair to reveal her ear. Zelda stared.

"Rounded?!" she cried.

"Yes, rounded. Not pointed, like a Hylian's. Rounded! They must be from somewhere else, if not Earth!" cried Link, letting go. Fay looked Zelda directly in the eye.

"Gannon will return, Princess. He will try to take Hyrule. He will want the Triforce. It would be better to take a piece out of Hyrule, no?" she asked. She barely dared to blink.

Zelda replied, "What if you want the Triforce for yourself? What if you are Gannon's spy, luring Link away? To his death, maybe?"

Fay laughed. "My dear Princess! If that's what I wanted, I would have done it by now! And would Gannon really recruit a silly little girl like me?" She crossed her arms, content with her argument.

Kathy said, "Anyway, what use are we? We barely know of swordplay, and on Earth, use of magic is highly discouraged. Actually, no one even knows how to use magic anymore."

Zelda's expression didn't change as Link asked, "And does it mean anything that I, the one accompanying them, trusts them?" Zelda scoffed.

"Stubborn idiot...!" she murmured, then said, "Fine Link! Go find this 'fourth Relic!' Don't expect any help from me when you are within Gannon's clutches!"

Turning, Link mumbled, "Have you ever helped before?"

---

"So... What do we do now?" asked Kathy, one hand holding the reins, the other on Teryn's neck.

Link opened his mouth, but before he could answer, Fay said, "Go back to Earth."

Link cried, "What?! But-How?!" Fay looked at Kathy.

"The same way we got here."

Kathy cried, "And where are we going to find an electric shock?!"

Fay grinned, holding in laughter. "I have an idea...!"

A/N: Yes, I know, very short. I'll update it later.
