Hello. Yes I'm back and with a new chapter! Ok, I kinda had to scrap most of what I wrote for the next couple of chapters because they were just so fluffy. No matter what, I couldn't use the ideas because without the fluff there was no stuff. So...SNAP RIP CRUMPLE TOSS CLICK SCRIBBLE SCRIBBLE TYPE TYPE ...here you go. I managed barely to save Link's Ideas, and one of mine that I hope no one says "how could you do that to Link" to. Anyways, sure school gives me a perfect opportunity to write and get ideas for the story but my grades are starting to show (curse the gym teacher and her no blue jeans rule). I would like to send a shout out to my editor and friend Ice Panther of the Fifth Realm with out her awesome help with prereading this wouldn't have went up for a while.

Now that that's over with on with the story...

Chapter 5------ A Garden Full Of Surprises----------------

As Musouka showed Link the way to the garden, Navi popped out of Link's hat and started circling Musouka's head."Hey Navi, what are you up to?" She giggled, Navi's wings tickled up close.

"Oh, nothing in particular" Navi shrugged.

As Musouka watched Navi circle her head she suddenly noticed something missing in the background "umm...Link?" Musouka asked as she stopped and looked around.

"Yeah?"

"Where's Epona?"

They were near the entrance to the garden where Link had left Epona and no sign of the horse was present. Link looked around and took out the ocarina of time. "Wha? Oh!" Musouka gave herself a mental hit in the head "duh, Epona's song. Why didn't I think of that?" Link played the song and Epona came galloping out of the woods and towards him.

"She must have gotten bored and went exploring" he said patting Epona on the neck.

"It's a good thing Malon taught you that song" Musouka said walking over to Epona "If she hadn't then Epona would have ended up with Ganondork", she looked at Epona with sad eyes, "than everyone would have been heartbroken"

"What's wrong? Did you used to have a horse?" Link asked noticing Musouka's glum expression.

"No, I never owned a horse, we rented a horse once" she said looking up at Link with a sad smile but turned back to Epona with that sad look "but that's not what made me sad"

Link looked at her but couldn't come up with a reason for her sadness. "Then what is it?" he asked trying to understand

"It's the thought of that monster almost getting his hands on Epona" Musouka said almost blurting it out.

"How did you know?" asked Link a little surprised that she would know anything about what had happened at the ranch the other day.

Mini flash back

(This is where you get the gist of it all)

Link had just gotten the hookshot from Dumpy's grave and was now in Lon Lon Ranch (skipping Kakariko village and Hyrule field) and (after speaking with Ingo and Malon) learned that Ingo is in charge of the ranch, and Epona will be given to Ganondorf as part of a deal Ingo made. Link found Epona (with the help of Epona's song) and quickly rekindled their friendship. Then beat Ingo in three races and won Epona (Ingo should give up gambling). After Ingo tried to trap Link and Epona in the ranch they hopped the fence and were on their way to Musouka's.

(I was too lazy to play the game again just to get to this part but this does get the job done andI think we've all had a long enough wait for this chapter)

End mini flash back

"I just know a lot" Musouka said bring Link out of his thoughts

"Like what?"

"Like..."she tried to think"...like Princess Ruto" she said with a sly look

"No way!"

"Yes way, I know all about how you got engaged to a fish girl!"

Link gulped "don't tell anyone, I didn't even know what she was talking about, all I knew was I needed the stone."

"I know,for the love of Nayru.everyone around here already knows, both about the engagement and about you being clueless. Also everyone knows about the situation so it's ok."

Link went from pale to white "how?"

"We hear things" she said with a smile "and see them"

Musouka brought Link into to the garden and he started to look around. A small water duct went around the edge of the garden, under the walkway they were standing on and under a set of stone steps that lead to a plateau in front of a window. Before the steps was a circle of orange and yellow flowers enclosed by a ring of dracacena (pointy plants that look like grass that I took the time to look up because by coincidence my dad got the same plant a while back) as tall as the flowers. Faded red roses were planted in stone box planters on the plateau on either side of the steps. Two small pine trees stood to the left of the steps while another two were diagonal to them near the entrance. A Triforce symbol on wings was engraved above the plain wooden window and another one was above the entrance. "This is one of my favorite places" she said walking into the garden and twirling around. When Musouka said that Link was reminded how much like Zelda she was. Every time he saw Zelda in the garden she seemed to let everything go, no matter how much something troubled her it never showed as much as it should have, instead she looked at peace. He took a few steps and noticed new things. A stone bench with the Triforce engraved on it was in Zelda's place in front of the window. The balcony that lead to Musouka's room was above the winged Triforce that hung above the window.

Link walked over to the window on the left side of the garden. Inside was a vase with dracacena

Growing in it and the same drapes he had seen at Zelda's. "My parents made it look like Hyrule Castle Courtyard, aside from some minor changes" Musouka said popping up beside Link and startling him a bit.

"Why do you keep doing that?" Link asked slightly annoyed

"Doing what?"

"Every time I start thinking you give me the answers the questions I think about and startle me in the process"

"Because you look cute when you're scared". She laughed when Link started to blush, "Speaking of looks I have got to show you something. But you have to promise not to over react". She said winking; this made Link a little nervous

"What is it?"

"You got to get used to disappointment, by the way there's some stables over on that side of the house" she said thumbing towards the window. "You can put Epona in there while I go get the surprise"

"Why do you have stables when you have no horses?"

"Because we have a pet cow. We named her Malon"

"You named your cow Malon?" Link chuckled

"Yep, named her after Talon's daughter. She loves Epona's song"

"How come everything resembles Hyrule yet you've never been there?"

Musouka turned her back to Link "we heard Legends of Hyrule and Zelda and you ,Link, so my parents decided to make this little patch of Hyrule here since no one here knows where it is" she turned back to Link, smiled and said "I'll be back in a few", and ran off towards the exit.

Writers comment

I was trying to put Musouka in an awkward position because of her playful slightly hyperactive nature, it was bound to happen. Next chapter I'm starting to type now, yes now, at 5:50am! Just because I'm in my groove, yes my groove, the groove in which if any alterations are needed to make it more understandable I can make them. Next chapter coming soon, hopefully within the next two weeks. Bye bye

PS there are over1320 words in this chapter! that is the most so far. YAY new achivement for me!
