Chapter - 5

The New Life

A year later Montana and I decided to get a house of our own and Chad moved in only days later, just because he couldn't make any money. The next day after Chad moved in me and Montana went to the fishing pond at Lake Hylia and we caught seven fish in all. We sold the biggest fish we had to the fisher monger who was there and we made three rupees, we thought that it was a gyp, so we took the offer and the other six fish to the castle town. We sold the two smallest fish to an old lady for four rupees, and a man came over and asked for our biggest fish and he offered to pay four rupees. Then we walked down the alley and a lady asked if we could buy her some food, instead we offered to sell her one of our fish and she gladly accepted and paid us four rupees. We decided to venture over to the castle gate and we met a hungry soldier that could not leave his post so we asked if he would buy one of our fish he accepted the invitation and paid us two rupees. After that we started back to town and came across a little boy who wanted a fish but could only pay three rupees so we said we would sell our last fish to him for the three rupees. Then we headed back home to Kakareko and before we got to the staircase up to the door I noticed an archery shop and I just couldn't help myself to try it out. I dragged Montana with me to check this place out and on the way we found Chad. Chad was also going to check out the archery place and amazingly he had money, but we didn't know how.

"How did you get the money" Montana questioned.

"I sold ... I think it is called a broom that was in the corner of the closet," Chad explained.

"You mean the one with the hawk's head on it?" I asked calmly.

"It was. Why do you ask?" Chad replied unsure.

"THAT WAS THE ONE I MADE!" I screeched.

Montana grabbed a hold of my hair in order to save Chad from getting beat to a pulp. "Simmer down girl you can get it back and we need him alive and looking cute." Montana let go of my hair and placed her hands over her mouth, before blushing a deep scarlet color she ran into the archery place.

Chad and I followed, once we were inside Chad offered to go first. So he paid the guy and stepped up to the platform and took a hold of the bow and grabbed an arrow. He got ready to aim and shot for the first target but the arrow came back and almost hit me but I ducked out of the way, he grabbed another arrow and got it lodged into the roof, and through out the next eight targets he missed every single one, except one blue one. The game was then over and he had to pay another twenty rupees to play again, but of course he did not have it. So then it was my turn, Montana past the twenty rupees to the guy and I took my place on the platform and readied myself. I looked how to load the bow with the arrow and then shot at the target and missed the first shot, so I reloaded the bow and made the second. I missed the sixth target and hit all the rest.

"Bummer," Larissa moans. "I missed two"

"By rules and regulations if you only miss two or less you get a free game," the guy announced happily.

I smiled and got ready for the next game, and this time I wasn't going to miss.

Meanwhile Montana and Chad were talking.

"Did you really mean what you said back there?" Chad asked.

"Um...why do you ask?" Montana blushed slightly

But before Chad could answer I yelled "Yahoo!" Chad and Montana looked at me. I walked over to the guy and asked him, "What do I get for winning."

But before he answered my question he asked, "Do you have a bow?"

"No," I answered simply looking at him strangely

"Just wondering, but you do win fifty rupees," He replied handing me the rupees.

I put twenty on the counter and said "I would like to play 3 more games."

The guy nodded and I went to play my three games. Then Chad answered, "Because I have never seen a person blush so much."

Montana looked at Chad and started to blush, then looked at him some more before she kissed him then ran out the door, saying "See you at home."

Chad blinked twice before leaning his back against the wall and watched me finish my last two games. Once I had finished I walked out the door after collecting my prizes, one hundred rupees were in my wallet and the other forty were in every place I could think of. So we headed home and found a meal on the table. No one questioned so we just ate the food.

After we finished dinner I went into my room and took out the forty rupees, and Montana came in to ask for her wallet I handed it over and she almost dropped it because it weighted five times more then before I played any games. Montana gave me a strange stare but left without saying a word. She closed the door and turned around and crashed lip to lip with Chad. Montana turn deep scarlet red and she then darts into her room and locks the door. I opened my door and said to Chad "Montana is probably having one of her moments," Chad looked confused and glazed at Montana's door.

The next day I was off looking for a store that was open, but it was only seven and the stores don't open till nine, so I decided to go and see Makai I started on my way, I left Kakareko and went along the river, and I didn't have to go to far cause Makai was floating down the river and right by me.

"Wake up Makai!" I yelled then giggled and Makai went under, then popped his head out of the water and said, "Good morning."

"Good morning Makai! What you doing?" I asked.

"Well I am trying to figure out where I am," he answered.

"You are next to the path up to Kakareko," I smiled.

We looked at each other, and then Makai climbed out of the river and asked, "Can I come over for lunch?"

"Sure, when it is lunch," I laughed then I asked, "Could we take a walk along the river together?"

Makai blushed, "I would be honored."

So we began our walk.

Back at the house Montana awoke and had breakfast then started shopping. When she returned home she began cooking. Chad awakes to the aroma and falls out of his bed. Chad opens the door and says, "Morning sweetie."

"Morning darling" Montana greeted him back.

"It smells really good, what are you making?"

"I am making a triple black forest cake, a roast, mashed potato's and cooked carrots and a grilled chicken Caesar salad."

"Is there anything I can do?" Chad asked.

"Yes, could you set the table?"

"Okay," Chad replied as he went to the cupboard to get the dishes and begins to set the dishes on the table.

"Chad?" Montana continues, "Please set an extra spot I have a feeling we are going to have company."

"OK," being unsure he does it any ways.

Montana took out the cake and the roast before turning around to find Chad. Montana looks at him, Chad pulled her close soon began kissing Montana and to his surprise she was kissing back. Makai and I walked into the house to find Chad and Montana kissing in the kitchen and before we took another step we turned around and walk out the door, I told them, "Call me when dinner is ready," then I closed the door behind me. Ten minutes go by before Montana opens the door.

"Lunch is ready," Montana says quietly.

"And are you two done?" I asked.

"That is none of your business my dear," Montana answers.

"Don't make out while Makai is here he might want to join," I commented.

"We won't," Montana smiles evilly.

We went in and Chad was waiting for us at the dinner table, everyone sat down and my first words were, "time to dig in."

We began to eat the feast and it was delicious, but after lunch there was a strange knock on the door, I opened it and a guy handed me a piece of paper for an archery tournament and it told what you could win. As I continued to look over the paper Makai wrapped his arms around me and cuddled me like a cute puppy.

"I'm going to win," I blurted out leaving Makai looking confused at me, but still didn't question.

Chapter comment

We have our own home sweet home (only Montana, Chad and I live there tho) someday Makai can move in. With the note at the door it's just a notice and since I'm good at archery, I just can't wait to play. And that's all I have to say.
