Chapter 4: Primero Beso
Malon brushed down Epona's back. She admired Epona's soft brown coat. The last time she had a chance to groom her horse was the night before the fairy boy came. When she saw him come that following day, she didn't know who he was, but there was something very strange, but yet so familiar about him. Epona was the horse Indigo was going to give too Ganondorf, as a gift. But even in knowing that, courage and confidence made him take Epona and raced Indigo with her. Even after he won the race, Indigo locked him in the fences. But Malon watched as that fairy boy used Epona to jump over that high fence and off into Hyrule's field. He saved her from the torment she was getting from Indigo and even brought her father back to the ranch. Now she hoped, as he saved her, she could save him…
The bright sunlight shined on his eyes as he tried to open them. After he fought the sunbeams for his vision, he opened his eyes and, at first, had no idea where he was. Feeling a little confuse, Link quickly rose up from his resting place only to be greeted with pain from his wounds followed by the most awful headache. Link groaned and laid back down. That struck his memory. He remembered rushing off to Lon Lon to tell Malon about him being able to stay in future Hyrule (or at least future for him), then he remembered fighting some type of Poe (or Phantom) figure and then he remembered everything descending into darkness. Now here he awakes, in a small room, aching in pain. Maybe he fainted and somebody carried him off. That would make sense regarding the unknown room he was in. The room couldn't possible be as strange as he thought it was. There wasn't one place in Hyrule he hasn't been in yet or at least that's what he thought. The first thing to do was to find Navi. If anybody could help him it would be his trusted fairy friend. Thus, being more aware of his body condition, he slowly sat up and studied his surroundings. To his left there was an eight-sided wooden table with white outlined in red tablecloth. On top of that was a little small vase with red flowers in it. Three small wooden chairs surrounded the table. Link examined the rest of the room. There wasn't very much in the room and the fairy was nowhere to be found. After a little more thought, it didn't take long for him to finally realize where he was. Link laid back down peacefully, knowing he was in safe hands.

"Link!" The little fairy said as she buzzed around Link. "Your okay!"
"Well if you consider a painful headache and an aching back okay, then I guess I am okay"
"So your finally up" Malon said coming out of the stables with Epona. "You know, your very heavy you might wanna consider a diet or somethin'."
"Malon had to lift you up on to Epona after you fell out. Then after we arrived at the ranch Talon and Indigo carried you upstairs. You were out for two days!" Navi told Link.
"Two days that's nothing, I've slept for seven years" Link looked over at Malon. "Thank you"
"What were you doing out at that time of night?"
"I was-"
"Ah, your finally awaken. Zelda's very worried about you back at Kakariko" Talon said as he came out of the house.
Link mounted Epona. "Better go to the princess before she freaks out"
"But Link-"
"Don't worry I'll explain everything when I come back" and with that Epona galloped into Hyrule's field.
At the moment, Malon wasn't sure if it was a true feeling but it seemed as if she was very jealous of Zelda.

"Zelda I'm home" Link yelled as he hopped off Epona.
Zelda ran into Link and tightly hugged him. "Link I was so worried. You were gone for two days and nobody knew where you were."
Link gently embraced her back. "Hey I'm okay. A little headache but I'm fine. That night, on the way to ranch I encountered this weird ghostly phantom type thing. Nothing I've ever seen before. Anyhow, after we fought I guess I fainted. And what I hear from Navi, Malon came, took me to the ranch and nursed me back to health."
Zelda slowly let go. "Malon nursed you back?"
"Yeah." Link paused for a second and spoke, "You know a long time ago, when I was a kid, I helped Talon with something. Afterwards he asked me this question…. Would I marry his daughter" Link trailed off. Zelda looked up at Link "Link what are you saying?" Link looked back at her "Zelda, I think I'm in love with Malon"
"No you can't…just because she healed you… I mean that headache must have really- Link what are you doing?"
Link mounted Epona and rode on too Lon Lon but he yelled back "I have ta' talk to Malon!"
"But Link..." before she could continue Link was gone out of site.
Link is in love with Malon? But how can that be? After all this time, I thought he loved me…

The moon was full and high in the sky with stars scattered around it. Malon walked around through Hyrule's field. It was a peaceful and safe night thanks to Ganondorfs demise. It's been a while sense she could just walk out in field and just enjoy the night. Link was supposed to meet her back at the ranch but there was no way he could miss her on the way there. But what could be so important that he would come all the way out to the ranch in the middle of the night? Was he going back soon? Was there another evil out? Were him and Zelda engaged?
On that thought, Epona and Link came galloping towards her. Link jumped off of Epona.
"Beautiful night, huh?" Link said to Malon.
"Yeah better than it has been in awhile. So what is it you have to tell me, I mean why were you out so late that night?"
"Malon, I'm staying. I can stay here in Hyrule, in this time frame. I don't have to go back seven years as long as nothing strange and unusual happens."
Malon was so happy she jumped on Link and hugged him. "Link that's great. We should celebrate!"
"Wait Malon there's something else"
Malon was too excited to pay any attention. "We could invite all of Hyrule and even have a party hear in the field…"
"Malon" Link tried to interrupt.
"It could be like a festival, we could have games and oh lots of food, and…"
"Malon I love you"
"And, and what!" Malon said not believing what she just heard.
"I love you" Link said as he walked towards her, but was surprise when she stepped back.
"No you can't, what about Zelda?"
Link was a little confused "Zelda?"
"Yeah I thought you two were, you know" Malon trailed off.
"Well I mean Zelda's a nice person and all and I really like her but, just not my type"
"Oh"
Link stepped up to Malon as she stared into his big blue eyes. And before either of them knew: they were in a deep passionate kiss…
There finally chapter four, NOT the ending of this story for things will only be getting better. You will be guessing what's gonna happen at the end of the story…well maybe. Oh and if you didn't notice the title of this chapter is in Spanish it means "First Kiss" Anyways Chapter four is done Chapter five is coming soon I hoped you all enjoyed the story, thank you and buenos noche (good night).
Zelda, from far off, watched as Malon and Link embraced each other. She was neither sad or mad, happy or joyful but felt nothing but Vendetta. For the man she loved was with somebody else…
