Chapter Two
Breakfast & Plans

Link suddenly sat straight up in his bed. He wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he remembered the nightmare. It was… was… The memory had faded within seconds. What was that about? He remembered vaguely about a… He shook his head and lay back down. What ever it was, he didn't want to see it again! He was sure of that! Troubled, he looked around his tree house. He had just built a new bed for himself replacing the smaller one that he had before. But other than that, nothing was out of the ordinary. With a sigh, he closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

Saria was up early that morning and was already making breakfast when Link ducked under her door. The green haired Kokiri turned to see a green clothed giant twice as tall as she was, standing just inside her door.

"Hey Link! What do you want for breakfast?"

"Uh, got any eggs?" Link asked, He stretched and hit his head on the ceiling. "Ow!" Saria winced at the thud and tried not to laugh.

"You're getting too tall! Stop growing!" She said, failing to stifle her laugh.

"Hmph! You wish…" Saria shook her head and turned back to her cooking.

"You're in luck! I got some eggs yesterday!"

"Really? Where?"

"I found a Zora nest in the Lost Woods near the shortcut!" Saria couldn't help laughing as Link's face turned as green as his tunic.

"You're kidding right?"

"Yes! Jeez, you're so gullible! I ordered some Cucco eggs from Lon Lon Ranch." Link's stomach went from sick to growling as he thought of those eggs. "Scrambled?"

"Yes please!"

"So, what are you going to do today?" Saria asked him as she broke three eggs onto a frying pan.

"Well, I'll probably go see Zelda." Link said, slightly smirking.

"Of course you're going to do that!" Saria said rolling her eyes. Link had been obsessed with Princess Zelda ever since he met her seven years ago. She knew there was a deeper connection between them but other than that, she just loved to tease them about it. "I mean what are you going to do?" She picked up a short deku stick and started stirring the eggs.

"Well… We'll think of something… Maybe we'll go to Lake Hylia or something." He replied, not letting on any more.

"Uh-huh, well, your eggs are done." She moved to the table and scraped the yellow eggs onto Link's plate. "Enjoy!" She watched Link gobble up all three eggs in an impressive time. Shaking her head she turned back to the stove and started cooking some more. "I assume you are going to want seconds!" Link only responded with a nod.

An hour later, Link was walking along the marble halls of Hyrule Castle. After checking the princess's room, he went on a search. She usually ate breakfast in her own dining room, so Link was surprised to find Zelda in the main courtyard feasting on eggs.

"Link! You hungry?" She tagged down a servant and he set another plate at the small table.

"Well, Saria made some eggs this morning but I don't think I would mind a little more!" He said starting to dig into the new pile of eggs.

"How many eggs did you have at Saria's?" She asked with a curious tone.

"Six, why?" He replied as he dug into his ninth egg of the day. Zelda just stared at him. "What?"

"Hello Link!" King Harkanian said as he entered the courtyard. "How are you today?"

"Oh, uh, hello sir!" Link stood up and saluted before Zelda yanked him down by the arm. The king merely shook his head.

"Link, how many times have I told you not to do that?" Zelda said rolling her eyes. "You're like family here for crying out loud!"

"Yes you are, and if things progress right, you can start calling me 'Dad'!" The king chuckled, as both Link and Zelda turned slightly red, especially Link. After her father left, Zelda turned to Link.

"So, what should we do today? How does a picnic at Lake Hylia sound?"

"Sounds great!" With that, Link and Zelda raced up the stairs to pack.
