A/N: Yes, Finally! The story gets plot! Zelda's here!

Chapter Five – The Big Swim

Link sat nervously on Sarah's porch. Zelda should be here any minute. With him staying up way too late and a restless sleep besides, he was about to go to sleep. Of course, he could only imagine what Zelda would say with him conked out on the porch.

As if on cue, Zelda pulled up in a cab. Paying the guy, she lugged some of her bags to the porch then glared at Link. "Hello, Link," she choked out, trying to sound nice, but Link knew better.

Standing up, he responded with, "Hey. Need some help?" So she dumped a bit of luggage on him then strode into the house, Link in tow. She led him to the guest room and they unloaded the bags there. Zelda started to shoo Link out, but he turned to face her.

"You hate me don't you?" he asked.

"I thought it was obvious. Now go!" she commanded, shoving him out the door.

"But-" He was interrupted by the door slamming in his face.

The next day, Link, Sarah, and Zelda were out in the orchard, next to the large pond her dad had made. Sarah and Zelda were swimming in circles, trying to catch up to one another. Link was on the shore-like part laughing his head off at the two.

"Laugh at us all you want! Why don't you come and join us?" Sarah queried.

"I don't wanna get wet," Link replied stubbornly. Sarah laughed and responded by pulling him in. With a splash, Link uprighted himself and took off after Sarah. She spun around and swam around Link and Zelda as Link sprang to catch her. Missing, he crash landed into Zelda, who rolled through the water and jumped on Link. Link sunk like a stone, then, as he quickly twisted around, he found himself face to face with Zelda, closer than most people got in a lifetime. Not wanting to remind her of her hatred of him, he immediately tickled her until she let go. He swan to the surface. And the shore.

"Now how do you like that, hmm? I am the Swimmer King!" he shouted as he cannonballed back in. Zelda laughed then took off after Link.

Suddenly, Sarah burst from the water, grabbed Link by the waist, then hauled him onto the shore. "Obviously not you!"

Zelda smiled as a book she had read a long time ago popped into her head. "I have an idea. Let's dive down and search for secret passageways or something!" The two agreed and down they went, to the deepest part of the lake, which is really saying something seeing as her father had five bulldozers brought in to build this thing. So they dove.

After a minute, Zelda bubbled a bit, and they returned to the surface. She repeated her underwater message in the air. "I think I found something!"

So they dove once more and found Zelda's discovery. It being a mysterious passageway, and them being teenagers, they investigated. First Link, then Sarah, and bringing up the rear, Zelda.

After a few minutes, Link shouted excitedly that the passageway was done and there was a large room at the end. The trio entered and went up a set of stone stairs that led to an old wooden door. Finding it locked, Link smiled, told the others to back up, then barreled into it. With pieces of wood flying everywhere, Sarah, Link, and Zelda strode though, ready for anything now.

After a long series of tunnels and pathways, the three came across a small cavern, housing a large stone. Sarah dashed to it and scanned it. "Uh, Link. I can't read this. Looks like chicken scratch."

Zelda leaned over to it. "It says 'To the one who recalls nothing but is all, you are the key.' Hey, there's a poem below it." She dusted a bit of webbing off of it.

"Memory lost, importance great.

Stones of Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Thunder.

These Five, brought together by Fate.

Shall do great deeds of Wonder."

"What? I don't get it. Amnesia, important, five rocks, fate, and wonder. Sounds like a riddle." Link pondered on that for a moment before shrugging. "What about it?"

"Memory lost, someone can't remember. Importance great. They need to remember fast. Stones of Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, and Thunder. Powerful rocks? These five, brought together by fate. Means that the person needs to remember something important about some magic rocks? Great deeds of wonder. Get the rocks, become famous?" Sarah thought aloud.

"I like famous. Let's get these rock things. Any idea where to start?" Zelda replied.

Link bent over and picked a white rock from the ground. "What about this?" he asked as he hurled it to Sarah. She looked it over. "Maybe. I honestly don't know. Keep it." Link pocketed it and they left for home.


A/N: I know, the riddle's something I came up with off the top of my head. You die-hard Zelda nuts are probably figuring the riddle out by now. Oh well. Chapter Six is about halfway through. And Vladmir, I said1:17 didn't matter. Yet! I may get bored and link it with some event. Who knows... ONLY ME! Thank you for your patience.
