When the young boy woke up, he stretched then yawning, "Morning Navi," he said cheerfully then getting up. "Morning Link," Navi replied, trying to sound like her old self as she was trying to keep the dark deal hidden.

"Sleep good?" the kid asked, putting on his floppy hat. "Yeah," Navi replied softly, still thinking about the deal. "You ok?" Link asked, now putting on his boots. "Yeah, just… tired." the fairy lied. "I hope you get better soon, Navi." he said, concern for his fairy. "Yeah, thanks." she replied.

As Link and Navi was going throughout their day as usual, Link decided to tell her what actually happen at Saria's house last night when she overheard him saying 'I love you' to Saria. He would clear it up and tell Navi.

Tell her three words.

He wanted to tell her for a long time, but he was afraid on how she'll react if he told her. But he remember what Saria said, "It's better to try and fail then to never try at all." that was in Link's head, reminding him on what he would have to do.

"Hey Navi," he started, willing to risk it. "Yeah Link?" Navi replied, now standing on his shoulder. "I… There's something I want to tell you." he said, getting to it. "What is it?" she asked, now wondering what he's going to say. "This is it," Link thought to himself.

"Navi… I…" he started.

"I'll tell you later…"

He finished, chickening out at the last minute.

"Oh… um… ok…" Navi replied slowly, confused by what he said. "Why did you say that?" she asked. "Oh, um…" Link stuttered, trying to come up with a good excuse to cover up what he was going to say.

"Link!"

Link and Navi turned around and saw Saria running toward them, "I'm saved!" Link thought happily, knowing that this distraction will make his fairy forget what he was about to say.

"Hey Saria," Link said when she stopped in front of him. "Link, can you help me cook?" she asked. "You… want him… to cook?" Navi said slowly, not believing what she just heard then busted out laughing. "Link can't cut up an apple without missing it three times!" she added soon after, laughing out loud. "Thanks for believing in me, Navi…" Link said under his breath, slightly embarrassed by her comment.

"I-I'm sorry Link…" Navi said, now catching her breath. "But the thought of Saria asking you?" she went on, stifling her laughter now. "Hey, do you know how hard it is to make food for you, Link and I?" Saria asked. "It's hard." she added soon after. "Ok, sorry." the small fairy replied. "Ok, now let me have him for a while." Saria said then grabbing Link's arm and started walking away, leaving the fairy alone.

"How is it going?" Saria asked, cutting up some fruits. "Um…" Link replied hesitantly, not wanting to answer. "You didn't tell her?" the green hair girl asked aloud, putting the knife down. "Sorry, you try to tell your fairy those three words." the boy replied, now looking at her. "Link," Saria sighed. "We practiced this all night last night." she told him. "I know… but I got nervous and didn't do it." Link said sadly. "What if I ruin everything by saying those words to her?" Link asked, looking away.

"It's better to try and failed then to never tried at all." the young girl told him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "So you go out there and do it again" she told him, cheering him up. "And this time, don't make me come and get you again." she added soon after, smirking. "Thanks Saria," Link grinned then running out of the building.

"I really hope that Dark Link's plan works," Navi thought to herself, biting her lower lip. "But, is it good to trust a shady character?" she added, now worried. "Even so, it's too late to stop now… I agreed to it…" she told herself in her head. "But if Dark Link's plan really does work… and Link does tell me… then Dark Link is actually good." she thought to herself.

It was now nightfall when Link found Navi, "Hey Navi!" he said, getting her attention. "Hey Link." the fairy replied, giving him a small wave. "Sorry that I was gone for so long." Link said, feeling slightly guilty for making his fairy wait for so long. "It's ok," Navi replied.

"I have to get him to the Sacred Grove," Navi thought to herself.

"Hey Link?" the small fairy said suddenly. "Yeah Navi?" Link replied, wondering what she was going to say. "What were you going to say?" she asked softly. "What do you mean?" he asked, confused. "You said 'I'll tell you later.' it's later so will you tell me?" she reminded him. "Oh, that." Link replied, blushing a little. "I'll tell you at the Sacred Grove, ok?" the boy asked.

"Yes!" Navi said to herself mentally, happy that he was willing to go to the Sacred Grove.

"Now?" Navi asked aloud. "Or in the morning if you're tired." Link said. "He needs to be there tonight." Navi thought to herself. "Now's fine, I'm wondering what you're going to tell me." she told him. "Ok," the boy said then heading toward the Sacred Grove with his fairy.

Now at the Sacred Grove, the blonde hair boy looked up at his fairy, the full moon illuminating the place, "What was it that you were going to say to me?" Navi asked. Link look up at his fairy and was finally going to tell her. The three words:

"Navi, I Lo-"

Just then, Link was knocked to the ground, "What was that?" Link asked as he got up then hearing Navi crying out in pain. "Navi!" he cried out, now pulling out his sword and shield for anything.

"Hello Link,"

Link gasped at the sound of the owner of the voice. It was Dark Link. His greatest enemy! "What are you doing here?" he asked his darker self. "I'm taking care of our fairy." he answered, holding Navi in his right hand. "Link! Help!" the fairy cried out in pain, struggling to get out of Dark Link's grip.

Link took a step forward, "Don't do that Link, I might accidentally crush Navi if you get too close." Dark Link warned his good side, smirking at him as he placed more presser on the poor fairy. "Stop it!" Link cried out, not wanting his fairy to be in anymore pain.

"Alright," Dark Link said, easing up on the grip on the fairy. "Tell you what Link, since you and I are the same… I'll give you a chance to fight for Navi." he told his lighter side. "But since you don't care for her like you do for Saria, I guess I'm keeping her." he grinned. "But I'm feeling so generous on this lovely night so I'll tell you." Dark Link said. He told him then disappearing:

"I'll be at Temple of Time."
