It was around four in the afternoon, and the boy was still in the Sealed Temple. He had taken a short nap, expecting to wake up to the sweet sound of little birds singing. Of course, Link never gets what he expects. He fluttered his blue eyes open, to see Ghirahim was awaiting his awakening.

"AHH!" Link screamed, falling back a little on the Sword.

"Good evening. I have waited here for you a while." Link watched the slender, white body swiftly walking around the room. "I don't have a lot of time. I just need the girl, and this can all end. If you haven't noticed, I want to clearly show you how persistent I can be."

"Oh I've noticed…" Link said under his breath.

"I don't want what you think I do. Demise is no longer my Master. I don't need that oversized freak that can't even defeat a person like you to tell me what to do!" He shouted. "I just need her."

"Why? What can she do for you?" He was now confused.

"What can't she do? She has the soul of Hylia. She can give power that is unstoppable. I can use that and absorb it to be the strongest being alive. I can rule every world with that."

Link was quiet. He understood, too easily. "So where is she? I can't stand asking you this any longer." Ghirahim asked once again.

"Zelda? Not telling." Link secretly took out the bomb behind his back.

"Ugh, I guess I have to fight it out of you." He casually brought a sword in his hand, waiting for Link to copy. Instead, he pulled the bomb out, and threw at Ghirahim. Link knew it was already ready to explode since he waited a few seconds before he threw it. Ghirahim fell back and looked a bit hurt, but not enough. Link did the routine again, while his opponent was still down. This try looked like it really did the job, and Link was satisfied.

"Not so strong, now huh." He pointed out.

"Y-Yes, I…" He started to sit up, but collapsed. Ghirahim appeared destroyed, yet he had not disintegrated. Although Link really begged for this to be the end, he knew it wasn't, since it had happened so easily. "I-I will return, soon. Y-you should really bring the girl…or else….this is-s your last warning…I won't go e-easy on you any longer. If-If she's not here, I will go out and find her myself."

He left once again, and Link was worried. There was one last chance. The bow and arrows was his…or better yet, everyone's last hope. What would happen if they didn't work?

He walked outside for a bit of fresh air, and breathed in it strongly. When can I leave? When can I see my friend again? I miss her so much… He took a seat on the ledge, observing the woods. I wonder why she hasn't written a letter yet. She usually does write again by now. I guess she's busy, with Karane, or school, or Groose… What if she said 'yes' to him? That would be cool, I guess. I guess it's good for her. She deserves to feel appreciated. After everything she's been through, she should have it easy now. I should be happy for her, I just can't get passed that feeling. The feeling when I think about her being with another guy. It's not like it would change anything, it's just…it wouldn't feel right. Just like being here alone doesn't feel good. I guess that's just how it feels when you lose your best friend. I really should be an expert at that, but it's not a beast that's taking her now, it's a guy. Another friend. One I can trust now… Where is her letter?!

He leaped off the ledge and began to walk to Great Deku Tree. The trip was short and boring, unlike all those times with Zelda. This was different; there was no one to talk to. He wandered to where the Kikwis were for a bit of company. He hadn't talked to them since he landed on the surface again. They were fun to be around, and to keep a conversation with. He spotted his good friend Machi, and ran towards the chilled creature.

"Hi, Machi!" He called out, and went to sit upon ground with his friend.

"Kwee! Hi. How are you?"

"Just bored, do you have time to talk?"

"For you, of course! What's on your mind, kee-paleep?" The tiny creature asked confidently.

"I'm waiting for Zelda's letter, but she hasn't sent it yet. I hope everything's okay…" Link's voice trailed off.

"Don't worry. I'm sure she's fine. You two will be together again as soon as you know it. You and your friend always get back together, from what I know, kwee." He reminded.

"I guess…how is everything here?"

"It's great! Nothing has changed. We like it that way, kwee."

"That's good. So, whatcha been up t- Zelda's letter!" He interrupted himself when he saw his Loftwing approach. He jumped up and caught the envelope before it hit the ground. Machi came up next to Link and he read it to his little friend.

"Dear Link,

Thank you for your advice, it was really sweet and helpful. Don't sell yourself short; you're too good for that, and you know it. You always know what to say, and how to say it. I really appreciate it. So, I followed my heart and it said that I should start my life soon. When I spoke to Groose, I realized he's a great person, although I cannot live my life with him. I hope to find who I look for soon. Good luck with everything! I wish you the best, and I wait to see you soon.

Your friend,

Zelda"

When he finished reading, he took a seat on the ground again. He pulled the little guy into a hug, and read the letter again. He loved to hear Zelda's voice in every word she wrote, and imagine her with him.

He began to smile, forgetting everything around him.

Pleading in his heart to return to her side, for all time.

"Kwee! You're squeezing to tight!" Squeaked a tiny sound, and he loosened his grip.

"What? Oh…I didn't…sorry."

"It's okay. She's sounds so nice."

"She is." Link said, still looking at the note. "I really…I need her."

"You always look so happy around Zelda. Now you're sad. Why?"

"I guess 'cause she has that…I don't know. There's always a butterfly in me, and a good feeling when we talk. I just wish I could see her soon." He let out.

"Why don't you visit her, kwee? She would love that!"

"I…I don't know. I can't risk leaving…and the danger…"

"We can take care of everything! Just for a night, it'll be fine! Please?"

"Wow, that would…thank you! This night will be worth a lot to us. I've got to get ready, and get dressed. I need a tux! Oh…"
