Midna's Quest
Chapter 2
1 year later
Link was over at the stove in his tree house in Ordon village making some breakfast for him and Midna. It was her favorite too: scrambled eggs.
After Link was done cooking them he took the pan in his one hand and decided to wake Midna up. Midna was still sleeping in Link's bed as he came over and slowly waved the pan around Midna's face till he noticed her nose started to twitch as she started to follow the scent while still having her eyes closed. It didn't work out too well for her because she ended up falling out of the bed. Luckily, Link used his other hand to catch her, but that didn't stop him from laughing.
"You know I could kill you with just a flick of my wrist." said Midna threatengly.
"I know." Link confessed "But if you did that, then your life would get pretty lonely." He added.
"You think your one in a million, huh? I bet I could find a dozen people who I could hang out with!" Midna responded.
"Yeah but none of them would love you as much as I do." Link reminded her.
"Oh yeah? Well...I...I...alright, you win this one Link, but enjoy it now because this will be the only time you'll ever hear me say it." Midna laughed as she floated up and gave Link a quick kiss on his cheek.
While Midna and Link were sitting at the table eating their eggs, Midna notice that Link wasn't in a hurry to finish eating like he normally was. Normally Link would be in a hurry and finish his breakfast quickly so that he could get to his job of herding goats and helping out the village in anyway possible, but today it seemed like he was just eating it casually.
"Why aren't you in a hurry to get to your job on time? You've been late almost all this week." Midna asked.
"Well today I actually have off because this year the village had an outstanding year for our crops. It probably the best we've ever had. We were actually able to harvest all of the crops before winter came, so to celebrate, the Mayor told everyone we could have off today, and there's going to be a festival later this evening to celebrate." Link explained.
"That's great! Everyone will be so busy this evening that they wouldn't bother coming here, and we can be together without anyone interrupting us!" Midna said in an ecstatic tone.
Link knew what she was talking about, because Link was the chosen hero, and because of this he received a lot of attention form the villagers, and since Midna was still an imp and resembled the creatures of the twilight that attack the village a year ago, Midna always had to hide in his shadow whenever someone was around.
"Actually, I'm going to the festival tonight." Link said, a little scared for his life.
"WHAT?!" Midna shouted. "But what about us?"
"I tried to get out of it, but when I told the Mayor I was thinking about not coming, the look he gave looked like he was going to run over and kill me, so I told him I was just kidding." Link quickly gave his reason while stuttering along the way. "Besides, you could come too."
"Yeah, I'd like to see how that works out. 'Hi everybody, it's me the chosen hero! I'd like you to meet my girlfriend; she's one of those creatures that attacked our village a year ago." Midna said in an impersonation of Link.
"I meant you could hide in my shadow the entire time. Just think of all the music, and the food. It'll be fun, trust me.
"Now there will be a section for dancing at the end, but we can leave during that part and if you want, you and I can dance in the house." Link said, quickly pointing out the advantages.
"I don't know Link; this could all end in disaster. Maybe I should just stay here. It really wouldn't be too bad." Midna said with a hint of sorrow in her voice.
"Please Midna, do it for me. Please." Link asked her. As Midna looked up to him and made eye contact, she could see him making the sad eye's he made at her when ever he was upset.
"Ah I'm a sucker for those eyes. Now come here." Midna said as she went to pull Link into a kiss. But when their faces were just inches away, they were interrupted by a voice outside calling Link's name. Link and Midna didn't have to look to know it was Talo, Malo, Beth, and Colin.
"Should I tell them to wait for just a few seconds?" Link asked Midna as he started to move away from her face.
"No, just go. If you tell them that they might come up to see what's going on, and then you know what will happen if they see me." Midna said with even more sorrow in her voice.
"Alright. I'll probably see you later then. They probably want to show me something." Link said as he went to the door to greet his friends then climbed down the ladder. "Hey guys, what's up? Are you all ready for the festival tonight?" Link asked his friends.
"Link we thought we heard a shout coming from your house right before we came here. Is everything alright in there?" Colin inquired.
"Yeah, everything's fine. It was only me falling out of bed. There's nothing to worry about." Link reassured his friends. He didn't like having to lie to them, but he did not think that Ordon was quite ready to know about Midna just yet, and knew that if he told the kids, that they'd tell their parents.
"Come on Link, we have something cool to show you!" Talo exclaimed as he and everyone else dragged Link to the village. As Midna watched through the window, she sighed.
To be honest, she liked the time she had alone in the house. She would usually look though all of the stuff Link collected through his life, and read the books he had on his shelves, but she liked it better when Link was around, and while they've been living together in his house, she felt like she was losing him to everyone in Ordon village. Midna may have said goodbye to her friends in her life before the incident with Zant, but Link still had his, and even though they didn't know it, they were keeping them from having any time together.
