~CHAPTER ONE~

Me: Heyo Heyo! I'm back with Takes Two To Square Dance!

Mal: Yeehaw!

Sheik: *Sips tea* Hurrah.

DB: It's so exciting!

Me: Oh, and just incase you guys are wondering about

Wanted Dead or Alive, don't worry! I've started writing chapter nine, and hopefully it will be finished in a month or so, give or take. It depends how much free time I'll have.

DB: Ahh, WDA… I love that fanfic!

Mal: Hey, isn't Sheik a girl in WDA? *Giggle*

Sheik: *Inhales tea* I'M WHAT?! *Cough*

Link: *Pops up out of nowhere*

Disclaimer time! Beautiful Creation does not own any of us. Oh, and Sheik? … Yeah, you're a girl.

Sheik:

I'M- *Cough* W-WHAT?! THERE'S NO W- *Hack*

Me: Aww, look at him. He's so in shock, he can barely speak! How adorable!

DB: Either that, or he's just choking on the tea...


The sound of gravel being crushed alerted the redheaded girl sitting on a rickety wooden fence post, as well as the beautiful tan horse next to her.

"Hey, Malon!" Link called from his rolled down window, waving cheerfully. "Where am I parking, Cowgirl?"

"Right over there, Fairy Boy!" Malon pointed to an empty space beside two other cars, one a light blue corvette and the other a yellow mustang.

After parking and stepping out, Link was assaulted by Malon's tight hug. "I'm so glad you could make it!" The young man laughed and patted her head in a brotherly way, "Me too, Mal! I see Zelda and Navi are already here."

"They arrived yesterday," Malon nodded with a big grin before turning towards Sheik, who was looking at the ranch house's poorly patched roof with slight disdain. "Ohmigosh, Sheik! How long has it been? Like, four years or something?" She went in for a hug from him as well, but was shot down within seconds.

"No hugs," Sheik held up his hand, wanting to cease any expectations of physical contact in the future.

Hurt filled Malon's blue eyes, causing Sheik to feel a tiny bit guilty, but he shrugged it off. "Why not?" She asked as she crossed her arms, her lower lip sticking out in a pout.

"Because I said so."

"Hey, give me a real reason! It's not like we're in elementary school anymore!"

"Says the one who wishes for hugs from anyone they greet."

Sheik and Malon glared at one another until the redhead burst into giggles, surprising Sheik enough for him to raise a brow in question.

"Oh, boy," Malon giggled again. "You haven't changed a bit, huh?"

When the only response she received was blinking, she began to laugh all over again. Sheik sighed and looked at Link, who could read his expressions unlike anyone else, and Sheik had "Is she always this way?" written all over his face.

Link sent his best friend a smirk as if to say, "Yup, and you better get used to it," which only made the Sheikah roll his eyes.

"Oh yeah," Malon said after calming back down again. "I figure you guys might wanna get your things and get settled in, right?" Both teenagers nodded their heads and gathered their bags from the bed of the truck before walking up to the ranch house.

"Well," Malon opened the front door for the two and threw her arms out in excitement. "Here is where you'll be staying for the summer!" Link smiled, "It almost looks the same… minus the cracks in the walls and the loose baseboards."

"Yeah, I know," The redhead sighed, a faint grin still on her lips. "There's a lot to get done, and I just don't seem to have the time to fix the place up much. I've been as busy as a hen laying eggs!"

As his best friend and the cowgirl conversed, Sheik inspected the area with a critical red eye. 'It looks as though mice have been in these walls,' He thought to himself, his ears noting each squeak the floorboards made with every step he took. 'The cracks could easily be fixed with drywall compound.'

"Oh, I almost forgot… Zelda! Navi!" Malon cupped her hands around her mouth. "The guys are here, so how 'bout you two come on downst-"

"GLOMP TIME!"

A blue blur zipped down the stairs and flew at Link and Sheik, wrapping its arms around their necks and knocking them to the ground.

"Ohmigosh, we're gonna have so much fun!" Navi had an impossibly wide grin plastered on her face as she pulled the two young boys back up on their feet. "I've been preparing for this for like a month or something!"

"Whoa there, Navi," Link chuckled. "Calm down before you pass out!"

Navi hopped up and down for a few more moments until Zelda came downstairs, taking one step at a time gracefully. "I was wondering when you boys would show up," She said, smiling before hugging Link and waving to Sheik. Zelda knew of Sheik's annoyance to any form of affection, even if it was only a friendly one, and she respected that.

Navi didn't, however.

The fairy hugged Link before turning towards Sheik with a devilish smile on her face. "Hey, Sheiiiiik?"

Said Sheikah held up his hand like he had with Malon and firmly said no, but when Navi only began to walk in his direction, he took a step backwards.

"Oh, come on, Sheik!"

"No."

"You're not fooling anyone with that tough guy act!"

"No!"

Malon's eyes widened a fraction when the two began to run in circles, the floor creaking underneath loudly their feet. "Um, you guys?"

"Why not!"

"Because I said so, now leave me be!"

"Just one hug!"

"NO!"

Getting tired of her little game, Sheik threw his arm out and pressed his palm against Navi's forehead, immediately halting her as she tried to grab him. "Hey, that's not fair!" She cried before trying to remove his hand, but his arm was locked solid. "Don't force me to release my wrath upon you, mortal!"

Sheik rolled his crimson eyes at the non-threatening girl. "How can she possibly think she's intimidating when all she does is thrash around like a child with the voice of a chipmunk?"

"Ugh, fine!" Navi huffed, crossing her arms and glancing over at Link. "Why can't you be as nice as your best friend?"

Sheik saw Link in the corner of his eye give Zelda a gentle hug and a kiss on top of her head, which caused the girl to blush and push him away playfully. He also heard Malon laughing and commenting on how cute the couple was, causing both to blush this time.

"Because I am not him." Sheik stated, walking back to the others. "I am my own person, Navi."

"Well, duh, but why can't you be a your own nice person?"

Zelda poked her friend's shoulder, "Oh, look who's talking! You don't ever leave Sheik alone! You always pester him."

"Yeah, 'cause it's fun!" Navi shrugged.

Sheik stuck his hands into his pockets as he watched the two girls mess with each other by reminding them of something they would do until he had the feeling he was being watched. He flicked his gaze towards the place he felt the aura and was challenged to have a staring match with Malon when she wouldn't look away.

He held his head up higher and straightened his shoulders as a way to intimidate her, but was surprised greatly when she did the same with a smile on her face.

"What do you want, farm girl?"

"Oh, I don't want anything, Sheikah boy."

"I am a man, not a child."

"You can sure act like one though."

Sheik narrowed his eyes at her smart remark. "This is going to be a long summer," He thought, finally accepting the fact that there was no getting out of the situation now, and that he would just have to put up with the fiery redhead currently staring him down.


Me: YES! THEY HAVE MET!

Mal: Man, you're being such a punk in this one, aren't ya, Sheik?

Sheik: I am no such thing.

Me: Actually, you are. For right now, anyways!

DB: Heehee... I can't wait for the Sheik/Malon to start! It's so exciting!

Me: Hmm, what would you call this ship? ... Shalon? Meik?

Sheik: No.

Mal: I think I like Shalon the best!

Sheik: No!

Me, DB: YAAAS!

Sheik: NO!

Me, DB, Mal: YAAAAAAAS!
