Zelda put the earrings on one by one as the sun outside her window was fading into the horizon. She had some of her hair pulled back and the rest was just two curly strands that rested on her shoulders. Tarron watched as the attractive woman made herself look prettier, even if he didn't think that was possible.

Zelda was having trouble getting the necklace's clasp to close from behind her neck. "Tarron, can you help me?" asked Zelda.

"Sure," said Tarron, jumping off from the window sill, helping Zelda put on the necklace. It was the night of the ball and everyone in the castle was busy. Soldiers and greeters were at the gate to greet and search the guests.

Roy was doing his usual complaining and Daniel was doing his usual slave work. Guests were coming in the hundreds. Even the Zoras came. Everyone was sent to a huge room decorated in the theme of white. White table cloths, white curtains, and the ceiling was made entirely out of glass windows, so that the gods could smile upon them.

Zelda's dress was a little longer and flared out more than her other dress, but it still looked like a white rendition of her pink dress.

"You look wonderful," said Tarron.

"Thanks. I just wish Link were here," said Zelda.

"I thought you said you didn't want to see him for a while."

"I know I did but…..I miss him."

"…"Tarron's hand moved to the letter that was held on by his belt. He saw Zelda sad. He knew that the letter would make her feel better, but he noticed that Zelda would love Link more, so he left it alone.

"Tarron?" asked Zelda.

"Yes princess?" asked Tarron.

"Could you come to the ball with me?"

"Roy will be there right?"

"Yes."

"Then I can't go."

"Why?"

"Roy knows who I am. Remember?"

"Oh, yeah. You didn't finish his mission. He'd be looking for you."

"I'm really sorry I can't help you."

"Well, if you wear something else, maybe he won't recognize you."

"What do you mean something else? This is my outfit and I intend to keep it that way."

Zelda ignored him and looked in her closet. She skimmed through the clothes and found something that would fit Tarron. It was a small beige dress with a curvy design at the bottom, short sleeves, and a low-cut neckline.

"Put this on," said Zelda.

"What? Are you nuts!" yelled Tarron.

"Roy's not looking for a girl. If you wear this, you can go to the ball without being discovered."

"Oh no! No Din damn way!"

Zelda walked gracefully down the stairs by Tarron's side. Somehow, she got him to wear the dress, put his hair up, and even make his chest 'develop'.

Everyone was there to greet her. Gorons, Zoras, and all the people working at Lon Lon Ranch were watching the beautiful princess come down the stairs. Somewhere in the crowd, Zelda was able to spot Impa.

Zelda ran over to her, Tarron followed.

Roy buttoned the last medal on his white tunic in front of his large mirror. Daniel was there, watching him prepare for his special dance. "I told you white was better suited for you, sir," said Daniel.

"Well, I guess you're right. I should remember to take your opinion more seriously. But then again, I do look good in anything," Roy said concededly as he looked longingly into the mirror.

"Ok, now, they will begin to play the music when you enter, then you're supposed to dance with Zelda."

"Fine. Fine. But can't I dance with anyone else?"

"Sure. Just be sure to dance with Zelda at least once. You're trying to convince people that you're the perfect couple."

"I'll dance with her first and get it over with."

"I think you'd go now, people have been waiting for a long time."

"Alright," said Roy as he walked out of the door to the ball.

"Impa, where's Roy?" asked Zelda.

"He hasn't come down yet," said Impa.

"Oh, ok. How long do you think it will be?"

"Maybe a few more minutes. Did you get the letter I put on your desk?"

Tarron's heart began to pound. "Letter? What letter?"

"No letter. I saw no letter when I went to your room," Tarron said quickly, pulling Zelda away from Impa. "Come on, let's go eat." He pulled Zelda across the crowd of people.

"Ok Tarron, just don't pull so hard."

"Oh I'm sorry." Tarron released the grip on Zelda's wrist.

A decorated buffet table was where Tarron and Zelda stood. The table was full of foods, drinks, and plates. Tarron noticed that he was getting a couple of looks and stares form guys, which scared him a lot. One girl in particular seemed to stand out. She had pigeon soft brown hair that went down to the hollow of her neck. She wore a dress with a blue top and a white skirt that went down to her ankles and had a square pattern on the bottom.

She was simply gorgeous to Tarron. He approached cautiously.

"H-hi," Tarron choked.

"Hi," the girl said shyly. "What's wrong with your voice?"

"Oh, that." Tarron cleared his throat and talked in a high pitch, "Nothing. It does that from time to time."

"Oh. I'm Kana."

"I'm Tar….Tarry."

"Tarry? That's a funny name."

"Where do you live?"

"My family works at the ranch; I live in a small cabin. What about you?"

"I'm from Eathra. It's not really around here."

"So, are you excited about the wedding?"

"Yeah, but I'm concerned about the princess."

"Concerned about Princess Zelda?"

"Yes. Tell me, what can you tell me about love?"

"Love? Well I know that there is no life without it. Someone who is lucky enough to fall in love deserves happiness. Anyone who interferes should not be living in this world!"

"You sure do know a lot for such a young girl."

"I'm fourteen."

"Oh, I'm fifteen."

"Well, you see, we're not that different."

"No, I guess not."

"Hey, visit me if your ever at Lon Lon Ranch, ok?"

"Sure…."

Kana walked away into the crowd. Tarron thought about what she said. "Anyone who interferes should not be living in this world". He felt so bad for Zelda, and for himself. He then made his decision. He would take the letter to Zelda.

"Zelda," said Tarron.

"What is it?" asked Zelda, hearing his call.

Tarron pulled out the letter he had hidden in his dress and handed the folded paper to Zelda. "What's this?" asked Zelda.

"Just read it."

Zelda opened the letter as her eyes skimmed the lines of the paper. As she approached the finishing line, she put her hand over her mouth and tears began to stream down her face.

"Is this true? Was this really written by Link?" asked Zelda.

Tarron nodded. "I know you want to see him again. Would you like me to go get him?"

"Yes I would."

"Meet us up in your room, so you can be alone. Where does he live?"

"In the Kokiri Forest."

Tarron was about to leave when Zelda called, "Tarron!"

Tarron stopped running and turned around and asked, "What?"

"Thanks."

He just smiled, and then ran out of the door. The forest was far, but Tarron waited until he was out of sight before he used his powers. Once he passed Lon Lon Ranch, he took a rock and floated over to Kokiri Forest.

The wooden entrance was obvious about Link's whereabouts. He walked into the forest. There were little specks of light everywhere. Tarron thought they were fireflies, so he just brushed them out of his face like dirt.

"Link!" he called. "Link! Is there a Link here?"

Then, out nowhere, a huge rock, and I mean huge, came flying past his head and landed with a crash.

"What do you want!" yelled Link. He was wearing his golden gauntlets, enabling him to pick up the huge rock with ease. "See, we're not so different after all!"

"Look pal, I don't want to-"

Link moved so fast, Tarron didn't see him coming. When Tarron's concentration was on the rock, Link moved in. Link wrapped his right hand around Tarron's neck, lifting him off the ground.

"Try anything funny, I'll do the same to you as I did that rock. So talk! Why are you here?"

Tarron chocked on his words as he put his hands around Link's, trying to loosen his grip. But it was no use, Link was too strong. "You hurt Zelda, and if you even think about hurting the innocent people here, I swear, I'll crush your throat like a twig.

"I…don't….want…to…fight," Tarron managed to choke out.

"I'll bet!" Link tightened his grip, not by a lot, but enough for Tarron to know that he wasn't joking.

"Zelda…..she….needs you!" The great weight of Link's hand was instantly lifted from around Tarron's neck.

"What did you just say?"

Tarron was on the ground, coughing and choking with his hand securely around his neck. "She needs you. She wants to see you again. I can take you to her."

"Oh, I'm sorry, let me help you up," said Link, acting as if nothing happened. "Where is she?"

"At the ball."

"Ball? What ball?"

"The one at the castle, it's supposed to be celebration about the princess' engagement."

Link held out his hand to help him up. Tarron took it. He lifted the same rock Link threw at him.

"Hop on," said Tarron.

Zelda took one last look around; there was no one she wanted to see. Zelda walked toward and up the stairs. She didn't really look up, so when she heard applauding and music playing, she had no idea what was going on.

She bumped into someone. "Couldn't wait for me to get here, huh?" said the man.

Zelda looked up, Roy was standing there. He took her arm. "Let's go dance."

"Roy I have to-" Said Zelda but was interrupted.

"Look," he whispered loudly in her ear, "I just want to get this over with, so just play along." He pulled harder on Zelda's arm. Once they got on the dance floor, Roy immediately began to dance with Zelda. Soon, other people joined them. The dance floor was soon covered with couples dancing. Zelda worried about Link and Tarron.

Tarron set the rock behind a huge tree next to Zelda's window when Link and he arrived at Zelda's room. "Here we are: Zelda's room," said Tarron, pointing his arm out to the room.

"Whoa. Is this really Zelda's room?" asked Link.

"Yeah. Nice isn't it?"

"I'll say. Hey there's her bed." Link walked over to the bedside. "Promise you won't think any less of me of what I'm about to do?"

"I guess not."

Link jumped on the bed and buried his face into Zelda's pillow and began to smell it, making funny noises.

"Ok, now I'm thinking less of you."

"Hey, don't be mean. You're the one wearing a dress."

Tarron looked down at what he was wearing and let out a girlish scream. "This is so wrong! I'm changing!" Tarron grabbed his outfit and changed in the closet. While Tarron was in the closet, Link looked at the bottle with Zelda's name on it.

"Did Zelda get the letter?" asked Link.

"Yeah, I gave it to her a while ago," replied Tarron muffled from behind the closet door.

"Were we like, supposed to meet her here?"

Tarron opened the door coming out with his usual outfit, "Yeah, she should be here any minute now. Let's just wait a minute longer."

Once Roy and Zelda were finished dancing, Roy took Zelda by her arm and said hi to everyone in the room. To most of the women, he flirted with them. Zelda was just a tag-along now. She tried desperately to let Roy let her go to her room, but he always refused.

Tarron and Link began to grow impatient. Tarron finally said, "Alright, let's just go check on her for the roof."

"I don't know what kind of powers you have, but I can't see through walls," said Link.

"No, the ceiling is made of glass. We'll be able to spot her."

Tarron took a smaller chunk of the rock, big enough to support both of them. They floated over the ceiling, trying to find Zelda.

"Roy, I want to go to bed!" Zelda yelled at Roy.

"Fine! You whiny bitch!" yelled Roy. He let go of Zelda.

"Don't EVER call me that!"

"Whatever." Roy grabbed of Zelda's face and kissed her again. People cheered and clapped at the couple.

"I found her!" said Tarron.

"Where?" asked Link.

Tarron saw what was happening, "Uh, no, not her! Check over there!" Tarron pointed somewhere else, trying to keep Link from seeing her.

Tarron was a half second late. He saw Zelda and Roy kissing. The sight made Link feel so sick, he wanted to throw up. But he didn't. "Take me back."

Tarron knew how he felt, he took Link back home.

Zelda pushed Roy off of her as hard as she could. She was so flustered, she left the room in stomps. When Zelda finally came up to her room, she fixed her hair with her hands, trying to make herself look good for Link. But when she opened the door, Link wasn't there, but Tarron was.

"What's going on here? I thought you said you were going to get Link," said Zelda.

"I did," said Tarron.

"Well, where is he?"

"We saw you on the roof….with Roy."

"You did!"

"Yes, and frankly, I'm no happier about that than he is! Do you love him or not?"

Zelda saw Link asking her that question when Tarron did. She had the same reaction too. "I see. Goodbye Zelda. I hope you have a happy, controlled life." Tarron left from the room.

Before tears came to Zelda's eyes, she heard a knock at the door. "Come in," said Zelda."

Impa came into the room. "Zelda, I have to tell you something. About the wedding," Impa said, worriedly.

"What?"

"It's…tomorrow."
