I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. If anyone wanted to read a quick Malink during the delay, there is my new fic: True Love
Jyuu: Which you forgot to invite me into.
Okay
Jyuu: On with the story.
I lost the disclaimer again.
Jyuu: I found it.
Dislcaimer: Umm…we don't own Zelda. It should be getting pretty clear by now.
BTW, we changed the second prologue so it makes sense why she doesn't remember him. It involved only a little replacing.

The Legend of Zelda: New Love
Chapter 4: I waited
It had been two years since Link had last saw Malon. Link was packing his stuff to go see her. It wasn't completely by choice though. Mido was getting him kicked out. When Link turned 15, they realized he wasn't a Kokiri. He had grown up in body. Mido was finally having his way. Link was a little sad about the whole thing, but he wouldn't let it show. He just wouldn't.
When Link finally had everything packed up, he went outside. Saria was standing there. She was crying. She couldn't stand the thought of Link leaving again. She knew there was nothing she could do about it. She had to say goodbye though.
"Link…"
"Saria?"
"I just wanted to say goodbye. I'm really going to miss you." She wiped away a few tears.
"I'll miss you too Saria. Maybe we'll see each other again one day." Saria wrapped her arms around him. Her tears were soaking his tunic.
"Goodbye, Link." She let go and ran back to her home. She couldn't stand any more goodbyes. Link got on Epona and rode out. He would probably never see Saria again because he would never be allowed in the forest. He wiped away some tears and went off to the ranch. It was the only place that had any friends.
Link rode off to the ranch. He moved rather slowly. He wouldn't be able to hang on to Epona if he moved much faster. He was continuously looking back at the forest. The forest was his home. Now that he was banished from the forest, he had nowhere to return after a long adventure. After a long ride, Link was finally at the ranch. He looked back in the direction of the forest on more time before entering the ranch.
Before entering, Link jumped off Epona. He walker her inside and brought her to the front door of the house. He knocked on the door and stepped back. After a few seconds the door opened. When the door opened, a beautiful woman stood in the doorway. It was Malon. Her had grown even more and she seemed even more beautiful than two years ago.
"It's you!" She said excitedly.
"Yeah, it's me." Link smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I can't believe it." She jumped at Link and wrapped her arms around him. Link was surprised. He was knocked back a little, but he quickly regained his balance. After a while, Link realized Malon was crying. Had he done something?
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
"I haven't seen you in two years." She backed up from him and wiped away her tears. "I didn't even expect that you'd be back. You're the first."
"What have you been doing since I've been gone?" Link asked.
"I waited." She said.
"You waited…for what?" Link asked.
"I waited for you." She wiped away another tear. Link could see the happiness in her eyes. She had really waited for him. Somebody…waited for him. She was the first to ever wait for him.
"Malon. I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I didn't…I didn't mean to make you cry." Link had the deepest apologies in mind.
"I see you brought Epona with you. Let's put her in the corral with the other horses." She shut the door and took Epona's reigns in hand. Link let go. He followed Malon to the corral. She opened the gate and let her in. Epona immediately began running around.
"She's a wonderful horse." Link said.
"Yeah, she is."
"She was a faithful horse. She's never let me down." He truly meant it. Epona was a great horse, every time he used her help.
"Do you want to go inside?" She asked him.
"Yes please." They went to the house. Malon opened the door and they stepped inside. The house was a little warmer because of the fire. They sat down.
"Link. I was as surprised as you were." She told him.
"Surprised about what?" He asked.
"I was also surprised that I waited for you. For some reason, I knew I could trust you. I was right in doing so.
"I'm glad I came back. Besides, I had to return Epona to you. She is your horse after all."
"I'm glad she likes you. I guess it's because you're such a nice person."
"You flatter me."
"It's true though. You really are nice."
"That means a lot…coming from you."
"Do you mean that?"
"Of course I do." Link answered this one quickly. He really meant it. Then his stomach began to feel funny. He made a weird face.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. I think I might have overdone it." This was a lie. Link could run faster than Epona took him. It was something else. He decided not to make a big deal of it.
"You need to rest." She got up and went over to Link. She helped him out of his chair and took him over to the couch. She laid him down there. She went and got some ice and put it on his forehead. "This'll make you feel better."
"Thanks." Link took the bag of ice in his hand and held it to his head. Malon walked over to the sink and began to wash her dishes. Link looked at her. She was kind, but he didn't want to take advantage of that. He walked over and began to help her with the dishes.
"I waited…for so long." She said.
--------------------------------------
Well, I guess that's it for now.
Jiyuu: Sry it took so long to finish. We slacked off.
Sry it's so short. I plan for the next chapter to be longer.
Jiyuu: I want the love scene.
Just wait for it.
