CHAPTER THREE
"What are you doing here?" Song demanded, leaping up. Naiya scrambled to her feet, backing away from the tree and from the boy with his horse. The boy had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a green, cone-shaped hat, white tights, a green tunic, and thick boots.
"Halloween isn't until October," snapped Naiya. "Why are you dressed up like that?"
Link's hand shot over his shoulder, grabbing the hilt of the Master Sword.
"Ohmigod, he's going to murder us!" shrieked Naiya, backing away.
Song stood tall. She gripped her hands until her knuckles turned white.
"SONG LET'S GO!" screamed Naiya.
"Kill me if you must," whispered Song in a brave yet dangerous voice, "but what will you get out of it? My money, my riches, my gold, my jewels? If you get those things then the police will be after you. If you steal something and murder me, they will hunt you down. I am not afraid to die. You will gain nothing except a life of running away. No time to use the riches, to bask in the wealth you have gained from me. No time at all. You will die miserably."
Link let his hand drop from the sword hilt, confused. "What are you talking about?" he asked. "I wasn't going to murder you..."
Link slowly extended an arm to wrap around Epona's neck.
"Link only slays the King of Evil's followers!" squeaked a tiny voice. Naiya and Song looked at the small bulb of light.
"Is that...a FAERIE?" gasped Naiya.
"Yeah. Haven't you ever seen one?" asked Link.
"No," replied the girls simultaneously.
Link pointed at the denim breeches. "What are those britches you wear?"
"Britches...? Oh, you mean pants!" laughed Naiya. "These are jeans."
"Jeans," repeated Link.
"Yeah, she said jeans," replied Song. "Who are you?"
"I'm...Link."
"Link! Rock on." Song nodded.
"Huh?" Link was confused. Naiya and Song laughed.
"You're funny, Link. How old are you?"
"Ten and six years of age, ma'am," Link replied to Naiya's question.
"You mean sixteen, right?" asked Song, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, yes. Err – sure."
Song and Naiya smiled at Link.
"I'm Naiya."
"I'm Song."
"You're as beautiful as your name." Link spoke before he could stop himself. He reddened and closed his mouth tightly.
Song smiled prettily. "Thanks, Link."
Naiya plopped down next to the food baskets.
"Let's have food now. I'm starvin'!"
Song, and then Link, settled down to lunch.

Malon gazed fearfully up at the King of Evil. With a laugh he extended a hand and grabbed the redhead by the front of her shirt and glared into her scared eyes.
"What a pretty girl you are," whispered Ganondorf. "I'm sure that you will become one of my wives. I shall take Zelda to my Master...he will enjoy having children who are wise..."
With a squeak, Malon was taken away by Ganondorf, King of Evil.

"Well, I have to go." Naiya stretched up as the sun began to reach its zenith. "Akio and I are going to meet at my house and see a movie on a date."
"A movie? A date?" asked Link quizzically.
"Duh. What d'you think I am, single?" Naiya tossed her hair back.
"I'm goin' home too. Nice to meet you, Link." Song got up and so did Link. The two girls began to pick up the food.
"I should go home, but I don't know where my home is," admitted Link.
"What does it look like? You new here?" asked Song.
"My home...is beautiful. There are lush fields and a ranch, and a castle with a town inside of it. There's a forest, horses, a lake and a HUGE mountain. I have many friends."
Song closed her eyes, imagining the land. For some strange reason, she kept on getting a picture of an animated land from a video game...
"Song, Link, let's go," called Naiya. She was walking ahead of them, waving an arm at them. "Hurry!"
Song grinned at Link.
"Follow me. My dad is on a business trip and my mom works the night shift at hospital, but she also took the shift till noon for another lady who's having her baby, so you can stay at my house."
Link flushed. "At...YOUR house?"
"In different rooms!" exclaimed Song. Link smiled, relieved. He had never slept with a girl and did not want to start it when he was in another world.
"Here's home," cried Naiya. "And here's Akio!"
Standing in front of a house was a boy with dirty blond hair to his earlobe. He was a bit taller than Naiya. He was not skinny-wimpy, not big- muscly, between the two. He pushed his hair out of his aqua eyes and bent a bit to kiss Naiya.
"Naiya, good to see you." Akio grinned up at Song, who was younger than him yet taller.
"Hey, Akio. This is Link."
Akio gazed, dumbfounded, at Link.
"Dude, normal kids don't go 'round carryin' swords. This is THE LINK!" Akio's jaw dropped. "Link, are you the Hero of Time?"
Link nodded. "I thought everyone knew that."
"Not here on Earth. Some people don't have N64 or GameCube..."
"Huh? What are those?" asked Link, confused.
"Game consoles," answered Song, taking Link's arm. "Link, come with me. We must talk. The Hero of Time does not frequently visit Earth."
"I've never been here before," began Link.
"Exactly," Song replied grimly. "Let's go. To my house. We can talk later."
