Ash and Princess May could not believe their eyes. In front of them were the six maidens, Ralahmuel, many of the castle attendants, Ash's friends Brock, Tracey, and Gary but most importantly King Norman, Queen Caroline, Sir Aaron and Lady Delia along with Sir Silver.
Ash and Princess May instinctively ran towards their family members.
"Mom, Dad, I am so glad you are back!" Ash said as he ran and embraced his parents.
"Hey! You didn't forget me did you!" Ash's Uncle Silver barked out at him.
Ash and his parents chuckled at Silver's antics.
"You can have your heartwarming reunion later my brother. Can't you understand that we haven't been able to see our son in 13 years?"
"Yeah, it is only natural our baby boy wants be with us after not getting to see us!"
"Mom! Cut it out, I am a Knight now. I am no longer a baby!"
"As if! You leave a big mess like a baby on the kitchen table after eating dinner every night!" Silver said slightly annoyed. "Plus my point still stands, I was the one having to raise him for 13 years. I could receive a thank you for that you know!"
"Which reminds me brother, why do I not have any nieces or nephews at this time?"
Silver began stammering "Uhh, well… ummm, you see raising your son is time consuming along with work… and I…"
"It's because he is a lady man's and doesn't know how to pick one girl to stay with" Ash explained to his parents matter of factedly.
"Makes sense, Silver has always had commitment issues." Sir Aaron noted.
"Grr, you need to learn settle down Silver! It is behavior like that that is a bad influence on my son." Delia said slightly annoyed.
(meanwhile with Princess May)
May could not believe her eyes. Her parents King Norman and her mother Queen Caroline were standing right in front of her. She had tears of joy flowing from her eyes as she ran towards her parents to embrace them.
She could see her father smiling proudly at her extending his arms outward ready to embrace her and her mother was making the same gesture as well.
"Mother, father I am so glad to see you guys again!"
"I am glad to see you again as well May!"
"I will say sweetie, you have grown into a beautiful young woman. Norman dear you have been spending time with her and not spending too much time at work right."
Norman began to stutter before saying. "Umm yeah you can definitely say I have."
Queen Caroline began to glare at him and get irritated. "Did you just fib to me dear. After I have just came back…"
Thankfully, May saved her father from being punished. "Woah, mom he is telling the truth. He has spent time despite his busy schedule. It's the stupid court that has kept him tied up."
Caroline looked at her suspiciously but after seeing May's genuine smile on her face, she knew her daughter wasn't lying. "Okay sweetie. Thanks for telling me. Honey you are lucky she took up for you and she was telling the truth. Or else both of you would be punished."
Princess May and King Norman both breathed a sigh of relief.
May began blushing before confessing, "Um, Mom, Dad there is something I have to tell you."
"What is May?' Norman asked her with him and Caroline giving her their full attention.
"As you may have guessed. It was Ash that rescued me and the six maidens and defeated Harghanim and Drewnon."
"Of course sweetie, even when he was young I could sense Ash would become a great Knight."
"Yes May, and I could tell his swordsmanship has certainly improved. That's how he beat Gary in the last tournament."
"Well the reason I am telling you is because while you… were… away and after he rescued me… we became… a couple."
Quenn Caroline beamed with pride. "That is marvelous my dear. He seems to be a fine lad. I am sure Lady Delia and Sir Aaron will straighten out any rough patches that he has and I am sure they are few.
Norman was speechless and zoned out for a moment. Princess May and Queen Caroline each waved one of their hands in front of his face until he came back to reality.
"Huh, what?" Norman asked snapping back.
"Didn't you hear me father. Ash and I are going out now. Are you okay with that?" May was a little worried. She did not know if her father would be exteremly protective of her romance life like he was with her learning combat.
"Of course I am Princess. I will have to work on him with dealing with the court but as long as you happy to be with him and he treats you well I couldn't be more happier for you!"
"Oh thank you daddy!" May then embraced him. Queen Caroline was just beaming at this. It was good for her to be back and for her husband and daughter to be happy.
"That reminds me May."
"What is it Father?" May asked curious.
"I can finally get back at Ash after all those pranks he pulled on me." Norman began to grin to himself.
"Oh dear, May he won't go overboard will he?" Queen Caroline asked.
"Nah, Ash will be fine. Plus he had it coming." May shrugged.
Meanwhile back with Ash and his family and friends.
"Ash it is good to have you back!" Tracey the court artist said extending his hand forward. Ash gladly shook it.
"It is good to be back Tracey!"
"Hey Ash, long time no see!" Brock came running to him.
"Good to see you again as well Brock!" Ash cheerfully greeted him and they gave each other a high five.
"You didn't forget about me did you Ashy boy."
"What if I did Gary!" Ash playfully teased him.
"Hah you wouldn't especially after that loss you had to me in the young man's sword tournament."
"Oh really, I believed I paid you back in that same tournament that was held this year." Ash grinned back.
"So you got lucky there Ashy boy. You won't next years mark my words."
"Haha I will be glad to take you on Gary!" Ash retorted with confidence. "It's nice that you guys missed me but I was only gone for day guys."
Everyone looked at him dumbfounded.
"What guys? Please don't tell me I said something stupid again?"
"It's not that Ash, but you were gone for a week," Tracey said.
"Yeah we were worried about you," Brock further added.
"Of course if it was me going on that quest. I would have finished it in a day!" Gary boasted.
"Not funny Gary." Ash said a little irritated.
"Haha, I am kidding Ash. But it's good to see you made it back in one piece."
"Thanks, I appreciated Gary." Ash smiled back him.
"No problem Ash. Now get to working on you swordsmanship, because you are going to need it the next time we spar!" Gary smirked back at Ash before walking back to the soldier's headquarters in the castle. "
"I better getting going as well Ash. Make sure to stop by and give me the descriptions of the battles you had. It would make a great art for the gallery at the Castle detailing your adventures!"
"Sure I would be glad to do that Tracey!"
Next Brock appeared besides Ash's side and then asked him in a husked voice. "So Ash you think you could hook me up with one of the maidens?" Ash could see Brock's flushed cheeks in asking him this request.
"Ummm, that's not for me to do Brock Sorry. Heh heh" Ash scratched the back of his head nervously.
Brock's head fell face down in defeat. He then recovered and said, "Man I envy you Ash. You got to have an awesome adventure saving all those beautiful gorgeous babes and not to mention your best friend Princess May."
Ash began to blush thinking of May and then it hit him.
Crap! I need to go inform King Norman that me and May are going out!
"It's harder and is not a paradise as much as you make it out to be Brock!" Ash then began to run over to Princess May, Queen Caroline and King Norman. Then a devious idea sprung into Ash's head.
"Hey Misty Brock is eyeballing and about to sweet talk some uninterested lady,"
"Huh! No I wasn't!" Brock cried out in desperation
"WHAT! Brock how DARE YOU!" Misty yelled storming over towards Brock.
"Ahhhh, no not the ear! Owwww!" Brock yelped in pain as Misty began dragging him away.
As approached King Norman, Queen Caroline and Princess May. They were laughing and having a good time. They noticed and Queen Caroline spoke up.
"Oh hello there Ash. You just missed it. Princess May just told us about your brave heroics and how you struck down Hargahnim and Drewnondorf. My my, you have become a very skilled in magic and swordsplay." Queen Caroline smiled at him.
Ash laughed nervously and then responded, "Thank you my Queen. It was nothing. I was just serving my country in its time and need."
"I couldn't be prouder of you Ash. You did a splendid job as a Knight. Also May told us how 'skilled' you were on the ice." Norman Began chuckling and Ash's face became red in embarrassment.
"May! How could you!" Ash then looked at her not happy with his hands on hips.
Princess May laughed at his antics, "Oh come on Ash! It was all in good fun. Don't be such a kill joy." May said at him smiling.
"Yeah Ash it is nothing to be ashamed of. My husband did terrible when we ice skating for the first time. In fact when he approached me on the court he…"
Norman began having a fit of coughs. "Oh I apologize honey. I do not know what has gotten into me. Anyways Ash it looks like you have something on your mind. You want to share it?"
Ash knew there was no avoiding it now. He gulped nervously before he began speaking. "As you know. I went on a journey to rescue the six maidens and your daughter Princess May."
"And I couldn't be happier of what you have done. You did a fine job Ash. I thank you for bringing back not only my best friend and Caroline's best friend along with my wife but bring me back as well."
"Thank you Your majesty. I wouldn't have it any other way. Anyways after I rescued Princess May and I hope you are okay with this but, I…umm… we are a couple now and are going out!" Ash managed to blurt out.
Princess May sweatdropped at how Ash awkwardly got that out.
Norman looked at Ash blanking then what happened nearly made Ash become scared to death. Norman's face became red with rage and he yelled, "YOU WHAT! NOT ONLY DO YOU ASK MY DAUGHTER OUT AND BECOME A COUPLE BUT YOU DO IT WHEN I AM DEAD SO I CANNOT BE APPROVED OF IT! FOR DOING THIS I SHOULD GIVE YOU A TIRING PUNISHMENT!"
Ash fell down to the ground before King Norman's feet and repeatedly starting bowing blurting out, "I am sorry your majesty. I am sorry. Please don't punish me!"
To everyone's surprise and Misty's dismay, King Norman began laughing. "It's okay Ash I am not really mad. In fact I couldn't be happier for my daughter. You are a good man and she loves you dearly. I know you will take good care of her."
"Y-y-you're not mad?"
"Heavens no Ash! I was just getting back at you after all the times you pranked me over the years. By the look of your reaction I would say I got back at you pretty good."\
Princess May began laughing. " I would say so Ashy. You were as white as a ghost!"
"Hey! I wasn't-," was all Ash could get out before his mother charged in knocking him to the ground squealing in delight.
"Ohhhh, I just heard the news. I couldn't be happier. Not only do I get to see my baby boy growing up into a man, but he finally gets his crush that he has liked! I am so proud of you two!
So when's the wedding, how many grandkids will I have-"
"Mom! Please stop!" Ash managed to get out after he rose back to his feet
Princess May was flustered as well as embarrassed. "Yes Lady Delia. We only began going out. We do not have that much planned in advance yet!" May nervously began laughing.
"Oh I am so sorry. I was so excited my motherly instincts took over. Okay. Princess May sweetie, you make sure he takes care of his hygiene and gives you enough attention. You know how boys are. They like to hang out with their friends and do guy things rather frequently instead of giving their sweethearts the interest and attention they deserve. Also make sure he does not spend too much time training in magic and swordsplay and not spending time with you like he should."
"Oh don't worry. I won't Lady Delia. Because if he does, he knows what will happen." May smiled devilishly at Ash.
Ash nervously laughed, "Yeah there's no need to worry May. I will do my best."
King Norman chuckled. "I am sure you will Ash. Before I forget, I thank you once again for all you have done for me and the Kingdom of Hyrule. As for your heroic deeds when we have the celebration of Hyrule finally being at peace, I will have you formally Knighted and have you in the Knights program."
Ash bowed down before King Norman. "Thank you your majesty. It would be an honor."
Suddenly Ash and May began to feel sick in their stomachs. They then did the next thing and ran straight for the lavatories.
Everyone was puzzled at what got into them.
The next day
Ash and Princess May were walking in the Lost Woods. On their way trekking to the Sacred Grove they were carrying on a conversation.
"I can't believe the nerve of the Great Fairy. After all we did for her that's the side effect she gives us!" Ash stated slightly annoyed.
"Tell me about it. I never felt that bad before. I am never drinking Chateau Romani again!"
"You said it Princess!"
Then Ash and Princess May reached the clearing. The sight was as spectacular as last time when Ash first reached the clearing pulling the Master Sword from its pedestal.
Ash approached it with Princess May right besides him. Ash gazed at his sword that he used after getting the first three pendants and traveling across the Dark World.
"I can't believe I am returning the Master Sword back. It feels like I am departing with a part of myself. This blade feels natural to use and I have never handled a finer sword than this!"
"I know how you feel Ash. It's the legendary Master Sword. The blade of evil's bane. All the great heroes of Hyrule used this blade when the kingdom was in danger. You used it expertly."
Ash nodded and stared at in sad but in awe at the same time.
"I know it is hard Ash, but it has to go back in its pedestal. This way if Hyrule is danger again, the next hero chosen will be able to find it."
"Yeah…" however Ash still gazed at it not ready to put it down.
"Here I will help you!" Princess May gave Ash a peck on the lips and walked back down the step of the pedestal. "If you want more then you better hurry up Ash!"
Ash's cheeks flushed red and looking at the Golden Master Sword one last time. He sheathed the sword back into its pedestal. Ash walked down the steps but heard May a little ways away say, "Now hurry up Ash, or you will be late on our date your promised me and you don't keep a hungry girl waiting!"
"Hey May no fair! You got a head start." Ash began sprinting catching up with his Pegasus Boots.
"You will have to do better than that Ash!" Princess May began to run faster with Farore's Wind propelling her even faster.
"Oh yeah! Well we will see about that Princess!" Ash then used his Quake Magic with his Fighter's sword and used it to make a column of earth spring him ahead of Princess May.
As they ran out exiting the Lost Woods. Ash and Princess May made their way to Hyrule Castle Town's finest restaurant. Hyrule was blessed to have a wise Princess like May and a courageous hero like Ash. With the Triforce in the Royal Family's hands. Hyrule was about to enter a long golden era of prosperity. It was all thanks to the heroic Knight Ash and having his heart in balance when he selflessly wished upon the Triforce. Little did they know that this was not the last journey they would go on together. The Triforce had more in store for Ash and Princess May.
