A/N: The story is still a bit pointless...but who says that it can't just be phl00ph?

Tetra woke up, groggily looking around to see where she was. Then she remembered, and realized that she was snuggling something that smelled suspiciously of Link. She looked down quickly and realized that it was just his pillow. She sighed in relief. No awkward moments to start the day. She looked around to see if anyone was watching her, then put her head in Link's pillow and inhaled deeply through her nose. She made a small happy sound in the back of her throat as she exhaled. Link smelled so good. Like a breeze fresh off the ocean: Salty and clean. Where was Link, anyway? Tetra got up out of bed, making sure that Zelda and her Link were still asleep. They were dead to the world, snuggling under the covers. Tetra tiptoed out the door, looking for Link. She didn't have to look very hard. He was leaning against a tree, looking out across the water blankly. Tetra walked up and sat beside him.
"Good morning!" She said cheerfully, snapping him out of his daydreams.
"Morning! Did you sleep well?" He responded, cocking his head and smiling.
"Mmmm...Like a rock," Tetra smiled back. The conversation died there, and they sat looking across the water for what seemed like an eternity. Then Tetra got bored. "So Link, what do you think of all this?"
"It's pretty cool, especially meeting the Hero of Time!" Link grinned at her, his eyes seeming to light up.
Tetra smiled fondly at his childishness. He could be such a twit sometimes, but whenever he was, it only increased Tetra's adoration of him. Tetra toyed with the idea of pouncing on and kissing Link as he looked back across the water, a wistful expression on his face. She though better of it, and contented herself with leaning her head on his shoulder. They often sat like this when they were up in the crows nest back on Tetra's ship, so neither of them though much of it.
"Look at the lovebirds!" Zelda crowed as she and her Link walked out of the cottage. Tetra and Link blushed deeply and got up as fast as they could, edging away from each other slowly. Zelda snickered at them, giving Tetra an 'I told you so' look.
"We're not lovebirds!" Tetra defended quickly. 'But I'd like us to be...' "So what are we doing today?"
"Well, you and I are going to go and have some quality girl time with Malon," Zelda chirped cheerfully. "The boys are staying here and holding the fort down,"
"Okay..." Tetra wasn't really sure what to make of this 'girl time', having spent the majority of her life around guys, but she decided that it couldn't hurt that much. Boy, was she wrong...
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"OW! You did it again!" Tears welled up in Tetra's eyes as her hands flew to her injured scalp.
"Sorry! But your hair is like a rat's nest! Either put up with the pain or I'll go get the scissors!" Malon threatened playfully, waving her hairbrush at Tetra. She ran the brush through her hair again.
Tetra hummed in pain and pinched her arm as hard as she could, trying to take her mind off of the pain the hairbrush was causing her. "Almost done..." Malon had been working on her hair for the past half hour, trying to get all the snarls and tangles out. Ten painful minutes passed. "There!" Malon handed Tetra a mirror.
"Wow..." Tetra ran her fingers through her hair, amazed at how de-tangled it was.
"Now I'm getting the scissors," Malon said.
"But I put up with the pain!" Tetra squeaked.
"Yes, but you need to trim your hair. I'll just take this much off," Malon held up her fingers about an inch and a half apart.
"Okay..." Tetra brought her knees up to her chest.
"Don't worry. After this, we can have a nice long girl talk. I'll even braid your hair," Zelda grinned from her perch on Malon's bed. Malon returned with the scissors and started trimming.
After twenty minutes, Tetras hair was trimmed to just below her shoulder-blades. By that time, the sky was starting to turn dark.
"Shouldn't we be getting back to Lake Hylia?" Tetra asked.
"Nah. Link knows that I've been in desperate need of some quality time with Malon, so he'll know that we're staying over," Zelda said.
"But what about my Link?" Tetra asked.
"Tetra...Do you want to spend another night lying next to him, knowing that you can't have him?"
"No...but--"
"My point exactly. Besides, we're going to have a blast tonight. We shall put all thoughts of our men-folk out of our minds, except when we are swapping must-know information about them, such as how good they are at kissing and such things," Zelda decreed playfully. Malon grinned.
"This kind of night requires a special kind of refreshment..." Malon walked to the door.
Zelda perked up. "You don't mean..."
"Ah, but I do..." Malon hurried downstairs. She returned in a few minutes with three largish cartons of Lon Lon Ice Cream(Deku Nut and Magic Bean flavored) and three spoons. She handed a carton and a spoon to Zelda and Tetra. Then she settled down on a blanket and grinned.
"So Zelda...You never told me about how good a kisser Link is..." She poked Zelda in the side with a toe.
Zelda finished the bite of ice cream with a smirk. "He's fabulous! Especially when we're sitting in front of the fire, cuddling, and he just kisses me out of nowhere..." She trailed off dreamily, a smile on her face.
"What about your Link, Tetra?"
Tetra blushed. "We've never really kissed...But there was this one time when he was washed overboard and I had to give him mouth to mouth..." The other girls giggled giddily.
"So?" They coaxed her eagerly.
"It was...nice, I guess,"
"You guess?" They said in unison.
"It was just mouth to mouth...I was a bit preoccupied with making sure he wasn't dead..."
"The only difference between mouth to mouth and kissing is the fact that one of the lip-lockers is unconscious...or just pretending to be..." Malon said.
"Are you saying that Link would pretend to be unconscious just to get a kiss?"
"Noo...Just suggesting it," Malon smirked and ate another spoonful of ice cream.
"Well...He did come to pretty quick..." Tetra mused.
"So what else has happened between you two?" It was Tetra's turn to be poked by Malon's toe.
"There was this one time..." Tetra lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "I accidentally walked in on Link when he had just gotten out of the shower..."
