I learned some things last night. 1) never scream "BOW DOWN TO THE ALMIGHTLY FLUFFINESS" in the middle of the night because you will get odd looks from a hylian and yelled at by your parents, siblings, and barked at by your dog. 2) don't make an aside when someone stupid walks into the room 3) a venus flytrap sounds cool, but fly hunting out of season isn't easy.

I'm getting close to where I'm writing so updates will be about as regular as an 86 year old. Hopefully all will continue to read, I don't pressure for reviews because not everyone reviews and those who are forced or pressured don't write good ones. Chapters come when they come so don't worry about them, if you have an account just set it to an alert so it saves time.

I based Musouka's back field in my story on my neighbour's and it really does look like south east Hyrule field (with the lost woods).

Anyway-----on with the story

Chapter 4----------------Hungry? ---------------------------------------------

Link-----------------

He looked up and saw light reflecting off something on the second story balcony. "Good, someone is there" he thought, quickening Epona's pace further. He was almost there and suddenly realized that this felt a little familiar. He looked around and unknowingly slowed down Epona a little. This placed looked like Hyrule Field but he knew it wasn't because Lon Lon Ranch would have been where the 'temple' was. As he drew nearer he got off Epona and walked towards it. It looked like the castle court yard that he met Zelda in 7 years ago, looking up he noticed that Navi was almost to the balcony.

Musouka------------

"Hey Navi!" she heard a male voice call.

"Coming" came a little chiming female voice.

"Huh?" Musouka peeked out from behind the shield in time to see the ball of light float down towards someone.

"Link!" she yelled without realizing it.

"Hello! What's your name?" came the male

"My friends call me Zel" she replied lowering the shield.

"Princess!" came a shocked response.

she looked over the edge and saw the boy in green with a fairy zooming around his head "is that Atsui getting back at me because of Halloween?" she thought." nice one Atsui but you won't fool me that easily, I have the Master sword and Mirror shield" she yelled showing off the shield and sword.

Link felt a bit confused, this girl wasn't Zelda but looked almost like her, knew of the master sword and had a blade that resembled it. "Who's Atsui and how did you get a blade like mine" Link said pointing to the sword on his back. "Oh my Goddesses! (yes, she says the lingo with her friends and has grown used to saying goddesses instead of god) is that really you!" she gasped, almost falling off the balcony in disbelief, "are you really Link, the hero of time, fairy boy, and former boy without a fairy!"

"how did she!""Yeah, who else?" Link asked.

"Oh sorry, I thought that a friend was trying to get back at me for scaring him, hold on I'll be right down" she said running into her room and throwing the sword and shield onto the bed.

"No wait a second, I'll just come up" she heard him yell.

She turned around when she heard the click of the hookshot. "Hiya", Link yelled as the hookshot yanked him off the ground onto the balcony, right in front of Musouka (these are random thoughts that I got while writing this scene so I had to stick them in her head)"random thoughts: 1) this isn't Atsui in costume this IS Link 2) I'm wearing a tank top that shows way too much chest area for this close of an encounter 3) my parents aren't gonna be home for long while. 4) I'm alone in my room with Link!" she was about to faint but Link grabbed her around the waist to prevent her from falling. "Are you alright?" he asked, but then noticed the girls previously pale face suddenly got back its color and then some. "Yeah" she said looking away from Link before noticed she was starring "umm...could you...put me down now?""Oh, yeah. Sorry" Link said blushing and helping her stand up.

They stood in awkward silence for a few seconds before Navi piped up "where you waiting for someone?" the fairy asked bobbing around Musouka's head to get her attention.

"kindda, my parents aren't going to be home for another..."she checked her watch "hour and 45 minutes why do you ask?" she finished and looked at the fairy.

"We came for your help" Navi said.

"Navi, are you sure she's the one?" Link questioned the fairy

"Of course, she does live in a temple" Navi replied.

"Ah hem" Musouka interrupted the bickering pair. "Could we continue this discussion down in the garden, just in case my parents come home early?" she asked more in a statement then a question as she walked out of the room. Navi flew into Link's hat and Link followed after Musouka. When they got to the bottom of the stairs Musouka got an idea "are you hungry?"

"What?" Link asked confused.

"Are you hungry? If you are I can make you something to eat no problem."

he thought for a moment and his stomach answered for him. "I guess I am, a little" he said blushing.

"Come with me" she said grabbing his hand and leading him into the kitchen through the living room and dinning room. "So what do you like?" she asked with a smile leaving him in the doorway.

"I'm not picky, whatever is ok".

"You say what you want and if I can I'll make it for you" she said opening the cupboard.

"If you insist" he shrugged "what do you have?" he asked feeling a little awkward. Before when he was in Hyrule he would just catch a fish in the river and cook that if he was hungry, or get some fruit from the forest. No one ever asked if he was hungry or what they could make him, at least not since hewas very young and couldn't look after himself.

"Well..." she looked inside the cupboard and thought of what foods he would like "lets see...there's porage, cereal, noodles, soup..." she went to the bread box "raison bread, raison toast, cinnamon toast, French toast, regular toast, toast with brown sugar, sandwiches,..." she went to the fridge "...eggs, leftover rice, ribs, pork chops, chicken, some vegetables,..." she opened the freezer "pancakes, waffles, and other stuff." as she closed the freezer she noticed Link looked a little overwhelmed "are you ok?" She asked. Link just starred in shock, after nothing but fish and fruit (and occasional bread and vegetables).so much food left him not knowing what to eat. "So what do you want?" Musouka asked, breaking Link away from his train of thought.

"Umm...I honestly couldn't decide" was the only answer he could come up with.

"I'll just make some stir fry then, ok?" she asked. Link nodded and Musouka started getting some leftover rice, eggs, vegetables and leftover chicken out of the fridge. He walked over and took a seat at the table in the dinette next to the kitchen so he still had a view of what Musouka was doing.

"What's stir fry?" he asked.

"It's a mixture of rice, meat, egg and vegetables. It's real good and easy to make" she said retrieving a skillet from a cupboard under the stovetop and smiling at Link. Link blushed and looked out the window beside him.

"So, Zel... is that a nickname?" he asked to break the awkward silence that he had caused by looking away.

"yeah, my whole name is Musouka Zelda Shinkyou, but you can call me by my middle name or nickname, after all, my friends and family do it all the time because its easier." she replied scrambling the eggs in the skillet and adding the rest of the ingredients.

"Are you always so quick to make friends?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

"No actually, I usually have a fight with someone over something we have in common and if we have more then one thing in common we end up discussing those things and before we realize it we're friends".

"So you befriend your enemies?"

"Their not an enemy until they try to kill you" she said in a tone of voice that surprised Link. It was saddened yet cheery and had an ere of wisdom, much like Zelda's. "It's ready!" she announced snapping Link back to reality.

Link could smell the egg and vegetables, it smelled delicious. She handed him a bowl full and a spoon, she placed another bowl for herself at a seat across from him with a set of chopsticks. "Want some milk?" she asked as she went to get a glass.

"sure" he said picking up the spoon and trying some stir fry. "This is good" he said taking another bite.

"Yeah it's my favourite" she said as she filled two glasses half full with milk from a jug and finished filling them with milk from a carton. Link watched her fill the glasses and couldn't help but ask

"what's the difference between the milk in the jug and the milk in the box?"

"Hmmm, how can I explain this? The milk in the jug comes from another land and they do things different that makes their milk taste different from the milk in this land". Link continued to listen as he ate. "The milk from the other land has a thinner taste to it where as the milk in this land has a filling taste. They each have a different nutritional value, but when you mix them together they taste perfect." she finished placing a glass near Link and sitting at her seat with hers.

Link picked up the glass of milk and took a sip "this tastes a lot like Lon Lon milk" he said starring at the glass in his hand.

"Thought it would, even though I've never had Lon Lon milk I always thought it tasted like that" she smiled, picked up her chop sticks and began eating.

"What are those sticks?" he asked turning his attention from the glass to the sticks in Musouka's hand.

"They're chopsticks; some people use them to eat but not everyone. Around here most people use forks but I think it's better to use the sticks"

"why's that?" Link asked taking another bite of stir fry

"if someone attacks you while your eating and hits the fork it would either puncture the back of your throat and kill you or you'd choke on it and die" she said continuing to eat, Link was a little shocked at her answer. Musouka noticed this and that he still had his forgotten spoon in his, taking the opportunity she said "you can also choke on a spoon too you know" Link suddenly remembered his spoon and took it out of his mouth.

"how can you eat and think like that!" he said almost yelling in surprise

"easy, chopsticks are harder to hit", finishing her stir fry she smiled at Link and got up from the table to put her dishes away. "Are you going to finish that or are you going to starve worrying about someone hitting you?" she said raising an eyebrow. He looked down at his food, back to Musouka and back down at his food. Musouka sighed "go ahead, if it was too dangerous to eat around here I would have given you chopsticks too." Link gave a nervous laugh and finished his meal as Musouka put her dishes in the dishwasher. When he was done Musouka took his dishes and put them in the dishwasher and lead him out to the backyard into the garden.

a side note--------------------

see bottom of chapter 1 for a newly added side note.

I pulled an all-nighter for this chapter to go up and I think its the longest so far. The pictures also took all night to put up too, but then again...huh! (looks at hand) FOR THE LOVE OF NAYRU HOW LONG WAS MY KNUCKLE BLEEDING! (runs to get bandaids)

5 minutes later...

Ok, thats much better. anyway, I edited some of the fluffiness but it still seems like 'too much too soon' to me. If you think so too please tell me so because the last thing I need is too much fluffiness right at the beginning.

til next chapter
