Arranged Love

A Malon and Link Story

Chapter Two: Sneaking Around

"Okay, so here's the plan," Navi started "I'll sneakily go to Malon's house and find out what she likes, what make her happy and basically everything that can make her fall in love with you. But I must do it with haste! You're supposed to meether tomorrow evening! Are you ready?"

"Well, I . . . "

Navi cut him off. "Good. Then I'll report anything I learned, back to you." Navi took a deep breath. "The rest, my friend, is up to you and your 'charm'"

Link sighed dejectedly. "I don't know Navi, can I really pull it off?"

"C'mon! You're the freakin' Hero of Time! You can do anything!" Navi exclaimed, trying to fire him up.

Link looked uncertain for a moment but then smiled at the fairy. "Thanks Navi. You always know how to boost my self-esteem."

Navi smiled warmly. "It's no problem, Link. You're my best friend. I'd do anything for you."

"So would be I. Well, you should go now if you want to make it, right?" Link questioned.

"Right! Wish me luck!" Navi called out before flying away.

Navi snuck into Lon Lon Ranch and was headed to the house, but before she could do that, she had to make sure she wasn't seen. Navi hummed a spell that would make her invisible to all living beings, except for other fairies.

"Perfect." Navi whispered to herself. With that, she went inside the house and looked around for a room that may be the ranch girl's. Navi found herself in front of a door that was opened slightly, with muffled sounds coming from inside it. She slipped through the opening and hoped it was Malon's. It was. The sight the fairy saw shocked her. Malon looked a total mess! Her once beautiful, lush red hair was now tangled and in disarray, her clothing was filthy (even for a rancher) and worst of all she looked very depressed and her eyes were red from unmistakably crying.

'Oh Goddesses!' Navi shouted in her thoughts 'what in Hyrule is making her so miserable!?'

Then Malon picked up a photograph and gently caressed it. Navi got closer to see who the picture was of.

'It looks like Malon, only older . . . it must be her mother!'

"Oh, mother! I do not want to marry this man! But I have to . . . for Papa's sake! I can say no . . . but I, I just can't do that to Papa. Oh, I do hope things go all right tomorrow night!" Malon said sorrowfully to the picture of her late mother.

'Oh, so Link's the problem. Well I sure hope Malon will like him . . . ' thought Navi.

Malon gazed around the bedroom. Her eyes landed right on Navi. The fairy's eyes widened, she silently prayed that Malon couldn't see her. Then it appeared to Navi that Malon was looking right through her at a dark purple vase full of wilted yellow daisies. Boy, was Navi relieved!

The young farmer held the vase and sighed. "I must replace those, but when? There is never any time!" Malon said, disappointed. "Hm . . . maybe my fiancé will get me a new bouquet," Malon joked bitterly.

'You have no idea' Navi thought, smirking.

"Hm . . . I should probably get started on my chores." Malon sighed, annoyed.

For the rest of that day, Navi the fairy followed around Malon the rancher and took note of what she liked, hated, needed and thought.
