Past and Future Romance

Ch. 2

Eight months past bye and Hyrule was now finished. The castle was bigger and better than the one before, and it seemed like everyone was getting back to their old lives again. During that time, Link and Zelda spent every moment they could with each other. Their love was growing deeper and deeper with every moment they spent together. Still, looking back as to when he almost went back to his childhood, he never regretted it.

"So what do you want to do today?" Zelda asked him. There relationship was moving quickly, but they both knew they had some sort of special bond with each other. They knew they were meant for each other and they didn't care what anyone had said. King Harkinson enjoyed having Link at the castle also.

Link watched over the triforce at times, and also helped train young boys to become soldiers. He loved Link like his own son. He was glad Zelda had someone treat her so good and cared for her so much.

"Oh don't worry Zel, I have everything planned out for this evening."

Zelda looked suspicious. "And what is it that you have planned out if you don't mind me asking?" she said with a smirk on her face. Link kissed her.

"Don't worry you'll find out sooner or later, I have to take care of some things but be ready about 6:00 this evening okay."

"Well you won't give me a little hint?" She asked. Link smiled at her, "Nope you'll find out soon. I'll see you later, Love you, bye!" He said as he left. Zelda stood in the hallway alone wondering why he was in such a rush. "Well if he won't tell me, I'll just have to find out myself," she said to herself as she walked towards Impa's room.

As Link was about to walk out of the castle doors, King Harkinson stopped him.

"Now Link, did you get everything you need for tonight?" He asked Link. "Not yet your majesty but I'm on my way to get the flowers and everything else." The king looked both ways to make sure Zelda wasn't watching.

He quickly handed Link and small box. "Now this was Zelda's mother's ring that I gave her when I proposed to her, but I want you to give it to Zelda. She always loved that ring. Do you need anything else?"

"No thank you your majesty, I think I have everything. Thank you again for everything." The King put a big grin on his face and clasped his hands together. "My little baby is going to get married, I'm so glad." He said as he wiped away some tears from his face. Link grinned and waved to the king as he approached the door.

He took out his ocarina and called for Epona and a few seconds later, she was right by his side. "Come on girl, let's go to the market". He told the horse as they rode.

"Impa are you there? Zelda said as she kept knocking on her door. "Yes, Zelda come in" she said. As Zelda opened the door, she saw Impa sitting on a chair reading a book.

"What ya doing?" She asked her. "Oh nothing dear, just reading a book. How are you doing?" she asked Zelda. I'm good, I'm just need to ask you a question if that's alright. "Nope Zelda, I promised that I wouldn't tell, so you won't get nothing out of me." She said as she smirked. Zelda frowned and knelt down beside the old woman.

"But Impa you don't know what I was going to ask you. That's not nice." She said. "My child I practically raised you since you were a baby. I know you better than you think."

"But please Impa just a little hint."

"No, I'm not going to tell you, you don't have long left to wait. She read a book or do something to pass your time."

"But the time goes by so slow."

"Well then my dear, I don't know what to tell you. But I promised Link I would not tell."

Zelda stood up and started frowning. "Fine I'll go find something to do. Thanks for the help Impa."

"Goodbye dear." She said as she continued to read her book.

As Zelda closed Impa's door, she came up with another idea. "I bet daddy will tell me." She said as her frown came back to a smirk.

"Hello Rizzo, How are you doing?" Link said to the clerk. "Ah, well hello Link, I was wondering what time you would show up." "Yea well I didn't want to come too early, just incase the flowers died. By the way are they ready yet?" He asked.

"Yep, these freshly picked roses are ready. You ready to put the ring in? He asked

"Yep, but just be sure to hide it in the middle and please don't let it get loose. I don't want to loose it. It's a very special ring.

"Ah Link you know I wouldn't do that. Are you ready to put on your outfit?" He asked Link.

Well I guess, he said as he looked at the newly made tunic that was made for him for this occasion. It looked just like the green one he always had worn, but he wanted it to be new and a different color because Zelda always liked blue.

He had the whole night planned for the two of them. He would pick Zelda up and bring her to there special place at the lake. They would have a picnic under the stars and that would be when he would propose to her. Just thinking about it made him nervous. He had never been nervous as he was today.

He put the tunic on and was ready to go. "Thank you for everything Rizzo, I owe you a lot." "Don't mention it Link, Good luck tonight and tell me how it goes tomorrow okay." "I will, thanks again, bye!"

Zelda poked her head out of her daddy's room. "Hi daddy what are you doing?" She asked him with the biggest grin ever. "Why hello sweetheart, I'm going over some new laws, what are you doing?" "Oh nothing, can I ask you a question?" She asked sitting on his lap. "Nope sweetheart, I'm not telling you where link is taking you.

"You're too easy to read dear. I promised I wouldn't." Zelda stood up now angry. "Am I the only person that doesn't know? Daddy why can't you give me a hint please?" "Nope dear, you better start getting dressed, just wear something nice okay?" He told her with a smirk on his face.

"Fine daddy if you, Impa, or no one else will tell me, then be that way" she said as she stormed out of the room. King Harkinson laughed. "My goodness that daughter of mine has no patience whatsoever."

Evening came and Link was on his way to pick up Zelda. It was ten minutes to six. "I better take the shortcut if I don't want to be late." He said to himself. Link turned right and headed into the woods. It was getting dark outside and could not see that well. Epona suddenly stopped and started neighing.

The sudden stop ness threw Link of Epona onto the ground. When he looked up, he notice a tall man standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, are you hurt?" The man asked. Getting up from the ground, Link replied, "Oh no I'm fine." As he was getting onto Epona, the man asked him, "Where am I?" Link looked at him suspiciously "You're in Hyrule"

"Well then what year is it?" the man asked him. "Um....It's the year 1497" he said. The man started staring around at everything. "Oh my goodness, it actually worked. I can't believe it actually worked." He kept saying. "What do you mean, it worked?" Link was now getting more suspicious with the old man. The man looked at Link, it's nothing don't worry about it kid."

"I have to go back." He started talking to himself again. Link didn't trust this person anymore. He looked strange and he was wearing strange clothes. The man reached into his pocket and pulled a strange device out.

"What are you doing?" Link looked concerned running up to him to pull that strange device out of his hands. "No don't do that back away." He said but it was too late, they both disappeared.

Well I know this chapter is kind of short but now its getting to the story, I know it might be boring, but please don't give up reading this just yet. Please review thanks!
