I wake up with a horrible head ache and strangely refreshed. I look out the window and the sun is higher than when I normally wake up and I smell something sweet. I look at my desk that is across from my bed and see a small cake and a note. I get up and read it.

Good morning,

I made you a cake as a thank you gift for the cloth. The storm was going on all night and I wouldn't have gotten any sleep without it. Also if you feel strange that's because I played Zelda's Lullaby to put you out so you wouldn't come and bug me while I was making it.

~Link.

Okay that does explain some things but when did she get that ocarina back? I really have to start keeping those things in better chests. I take a bite of the cake and it is really good. It's like a fruit cake and is really sweet. After I finished the pastry I head to the kitchen to see what they are doing. Usually at this time she would be cooking for lunch but she isn't there. I ask one of the chefs were she went and they say they sent her to town to get some things.

I go to the town seeing that I finished all those papers yesterday and have nothing to do. I see Link in a yellow dress with her hair up. She never wears dresses even in the castle unless I tell her to and her hair is always down. I head closer and no one pays me any mind at all. It's been almost half a year so people gave up on resisting. She has a basket filled with items and is getting even more from the stall she just went to. I grab one before she drops it and she kicks me.

"What was that for?" I ask her and she looks at me.

"Warn me before you take my stuff. I thought you we a theft, well that's what you are but you know what I mean," She says taking the basket and tying it to the other one. "What do you need anyway?"

"I just came to see what you are doing," I lie but she sees through it.

"You're bored right?"

"Yes."

"Fine come this way." She leads me through a ally and to a tavern type area. "Now stay out here I just need to get wine for cooking and these people are not very fond of you." She goes inside and I wait at the door. I wait for about 10 minutes when some person walks up to me. He smells of booze but isn't drunk.

"What is someone like you doing here?" He growls at me. I can see why Link said that they weren't going to be fond of me being here.

"I'm just waiting for someone, but I don't think it is any of your business," I say and Link opens the door.

"Hey Turner," Link says to the person and his face lights up. She gives him a hug and scrunches her nose by his smell. "I have to go but see you later." Link drags me away. When we are far from the place she starts talking again.

"Don't mind him he is always rude to people."

"You know him?" I ask her.

"Yeah he would give me some food at a cheaper price because I couldn't get a job when I was younger."

"You went to a bar when you were younger?"

"I had to get something to eat from somewhere." that was all Link's reply was till we got back to the castle. She gives the food to the cooks and walks to the stables to look for Epona. Her dedication for that horse is amazing sometimes.

"So you liked the cake?" She asks breaking me from me thoughts.

"Yes but how did you get the ocarina back?"

"Picked the lock on the chest. You make it sound like some impossible task."

"Well you seem to be able to find everything you had quickly. You always seem to find and use things to help you at the right times."

Link just shrugs and cleans Epona. She spends a while with the horse and feeds her before leaving. Link goes back to her room tells me good night and closes the door. I head back to my room and think about today which I've found myself doing a lot lately.

I wake up the next day feeling lousy. Ganon has been really nice lately which I didn't expect when I came here and today would be my birthday. I never really cared for my birthday because while most would be out with friends and getting gifts, I sat at home by myself and made myself a bigger meal than normal. Epona always seems to know when it's this day because she tries to get me outside and picks me flowers. Epona always knew how to make me happy and that's how I'll like it to stay.

I won't tell Ganon what today is because I'm still not sure if he is going to kill me or not. I head to the stables and the stable hands are fighting Epona who is trying to get out. I open her gate and she bolts tot eh garden grabs some and hands me one. She'll pick me a bunch but only give me one at a time. She goes back in the stall no problem. The stable hands look at me and I go back inside to make myself some food. I bake myself a small cake with a burning stick as a form of a birthday cake and blow it, not seeing the person looking in behind the door.

Today happens to be a free day which I'm glad for because I can make an excuse that I need to take Epona out. I know if I'm not near Epona today she will freak out and destroy something. I go to the stables and take her out and ride her to Lake Hylia. I always love this place and today is no different. When we get there I have a little lunch set up and Epona sits down with me giving me another flower. I made her some special food had of hay and grass so she doesn't get sick and eat the normal food. I planed to stay there all day and I'm not going back on that even if Ganon kills me.

I close the door and think of possible reasons for Link to be blowing out candles. A birthday is all I can come up with but why didn't she tell me about it? Either way I can see that she wasn't going to tell me but I could at least get her something. I try to think of what she would want but nothing comes to mind. Maybe if she wasn't as dense as a rock and tell people things I would know more about her. She doesn't like dresses, well more like despises them, and she doesn't wear any jewelry. I remember when I talked to her and asked her if she had pets and how she sounded like she wanted one.

I head to the only store in Hyrule that actually sells pets and see a small blue cat. The cat was really small and had short hair. I grab the little thing and buy it. When I get back to the castle with the fur ball it is night time. I look at the stables and see that Link and Epona haven't returned so I leave the sleeping cat and a note in her room. I go to my room and a while later I hear her door open and her gasp. I can't wait to see if she likes the creature.
