Malon's POV

She was so startled at the question that she didn't know what to say.

"Well, um, I sort of love him" she said uneasily.

"I already know that silly, it's pretty obvious!" Talon replied. Malon blushed.

"I want to… m-m-marry him. Yes, that's how far I want to go" she said with slight defiance in her voice. Talon smiled. "That's alright but one thing, he has to propose or else it would be strange" he answered. "Alright!" said Malon.

Link's POV

He was seriously in love now, he could tell. He was in Castletown shopping for something nice for Malon. He saw a messenger boy come towards him. "Hello, do you have a message for me" Link said politely to the boy. "Sir Link, I have a message from her highness, Princess Zelda".

Link frowned and took the letter. Dear Link, I am wishing to have your presence at my castle. We have some matters to discuss, thank you, Zelda.

Link smiled. He did want to see Zelda again. I'll bring Malon along as well he thought. He forgot about the present and rode back to the ranch to tell Malon.

"Hey, Malon, I got something to tell you!" he called out.

"Hi Link!"

"I got an invitation to Hyrule Castle to meet Zelda; I can bring you along as a guest".

Malon's face darkened.

"I don't want to" she replied.

"What? Please come with me, it's going to be fun. I promise!" pleaded Link

"Tank you Malon, you won't regret it".

Malon was dressed in a stunning red dress to complement her hair. "Wow, Malon you look stunning" Link said with a smile. "Thanks Link" she beamed.

They rode Epona to Castle-town. Arm in arm they walked on the grounds of the castle. "Welcome Master Link. Who may this lovely woman be?" asked the guard.

"She is my guest" answered Link.

"Alright, she may be permitted entry then". Link nodded and escorted Malon to the courtyard. Zelda saw and rushed to Link. She wrapped her arms around him. "I've missed you Link".

Link hugged her back awkwardly. Malon saw it all. She could feel the wetness in her eyes. Suddenly she ran out of the room. She quickly past Link saying "I despise you, I hate you more than anything". Then she ran out of the room. "Where did your friend go, never mind, let us go to my room".

"I thought we were discussing matters" he said.

"We are" Zelda answered.

Link meanwhile was wishing he was with Malon. Why had Malon called Link all those hurtful things? I'll apologise when I see her again, even if I did nothing wrong.

Suddenly Link found himself stuck in Zelda's room. Filled with a bed and other very nice furnishings. "Link, there's something I need to explain to you, I'm quite fond of you. Actually, I'm very fond of you. I-I sort of-
