Ok, hello everyone, I'm back! With a new story (yeah, for a sequel to 'The Curse of Immortality', this title is very, very, very lame. But, you will find that it DOES have a great meaning to this story, not some corny spin off of the title of the story that it originated from...)

For those of you readers out there who haven't yet heard of me, and want to read this story, I HIGHLY reccomend reading 'The Curse of Immortality' prior to this. Sure, I can't stop you, but you won't know some of the characters of my own (particularly XT-421, Rareen, Cheryl, and Xaiver,) and the events that caused Saria to be how she is within this story.

I also want to make one thing very clear, I am hesitant to post this story, and for a good reason. I am planning on posting it like a normal person. Before, I wrote ahead, and made everyone wait for a chapter like an evil, demonic little boy. This time, I am actually writing at the same speed I post. Now granted, I am a bit ahead in my writing already, but seriously, in a few days you'll catch up, trust me.

Now, without further ado...

Enjoy!

Prologue:

It was about midnight on this day, and a faint crying sound could be heard from within the residence of Xavier Rotaka. The one crying was a young, green haired, seemingly 12 year old girl. Her name was Saria, and her age was misleading. Two years ago, she was actually 583 years old. She was a Kokiri, quote 'was'. Now, she was a Hylian, and that was all thanks to a crazy robot called XT-421. Two years ago, after she gave up her immortality as a Kokiri, she was captured by an evil company who sought to use her as a love-slave, and then was saved by the wondrous boy who she gave up her immortality for, Link, the Hero of Time. Link was now 12 as well, and ever since he confessed his love to her that night, the two had been living in Xavier's house with one of Saria's friends, Cheryl, that she had been helped by during her short occupation as a love-slave.

All had been going well, until now.

She sat in a bathroom, one that XT-421 had installed for Xavier, and wept. She hurt, terribly, and couldn't explain why. She woke to this pain, and probably woke up everyone else in the house with her small shrieks. The closet she could come to naming this pain was an incredible cramping feeling, all throughout her lower abdomen, and a feeling that her spine was curling inwards. She waited in the bathroom for the pain to go away, but it never did. That made her feel terribly angry, but she could only wail and cry about it.

Link sat in his shorts on the other side of the bathroom door, worrying for the girl he cared for so much. He tried to think about what could have caused this pain, and the only thing that came to his mind was himself. Nothing else was in the room, so that had to have been what it was. Either way, Link felt terribly sympathetic for Saria, and just waited for her to come out or let him in.

Soon, the other members of the house were awoken to Saria's crying, and got up as well.

"Saria? What's wrong?" Rareen, Saria's old fairy guardian, given growth potions by that same XT-421, asked.

"Make the pain go away!" Saria cried out to them from the other side of the door.

"What's wrong with her Link?" Cheryl asked Link, all of them still wearing their nightly clothes.

Link only shrugged hopelessly, he never talked much.

"I think I may have a hunch…" Cheryl groaned.

"Saria, please open up, what wrong?"

"I am in pain!"

"What kind of pain?" Cheryl asked, taking a step in front of Rareen.

"I feel terrible, these stupid cramps won't go away, and I feel like I'm never going to feel better." Saria growled back, obviously annoyed now.

"Oh no… this is going to be a fun, fun week for you boys…" Cheryl mumbled with a smirk.

"Why?" Xavier yawned.

"You know how I've been having mood swings lately?" Cheryl said, her smirk still present.

"Yeah, so what? It's your period, you act like that all of the time, and I tend to just let you do whatever."

"I know, I think that I might have triggered Saria's first one."

"She's having her period?" Xavier said dumbly.

"Duh you moron. She's bawling her eyes out in the middle of the night and complaining about cramps. It is either that or bad gas, but at least the gas passes within an hour of movement." Cheryl slapped Xavier on the head, and, as he said, he did nothing to retaliate.

"Ok then… Saria, please let us in, I think that Cheryl, you and I need to have a little girl talk. Either let us in, or come out."

"Is Link out there?" A teary voice asked.

"Yes, do you want him here while we talk to you?"

"No! I don't want him to see me like this!" Saria voice got very edgy fast, further proving Cheryl's claim.

"Ok then, both of you boys, back to bed. Come on, move it!" Cheryl chased them back to their bedrooms with the promise that she'd hurt them in they didn't.

"They're gone now; do you want to come out?" Rareen's voice always had a calming effect on Saria during times of stress, with only a small handful of exceptions, this must have been one of those exceptions.

"Fine…" Saria grumbled angrily as she got up and walked to the door.

"Now, do you want to tell us what happened?" Rareen asked as she opened the door.

"No." Saria stared at them with a face of mixed emotions.

"Why not?"

"Because it is embarrassing." She held her head lower.

"Ah, then did you get any blood on your pants then?" Cheryl interrupted.

Saria's face turned pink.

"How did you know-" She squeaked.

"Saria. That is a period. All girls have one at a certain age." Rareen said calmly.

"So I won't have to have one again?"

"HA! I wish!" Cheryl roared with laughter, making Saria feel like an idiot.

"No Saria, you will have to have one almost every thirty days."

"WHAT? WHY?"

"Because, it is… well, it just has to happen."

"Why?" Tears began to form in Saria's eyes again.

"Well, it is a part of this thing called the menstrual cycle, and that is what allows you to have kids."

"Oh, but, why does it have to be so painful?"

"Well, it just happens to be painful, and trust me, it gets better over time. You won't feel as hurt as you do now."

"When will it go away then? An hour?"

"A day or so, and it will stop hurting as bad."

"A DAY?" Saria felt faint and began to sink against the wall.

"Yes, at least one day before the pain subsides."

"That sucks!"

"That it does. But, it will go away eventually, and then you'll feel better, right?"

"But then it comes back?"

"Yes…"

"Oh, this stinks! And every time I'm going to bleed?"

"Yep." Cheryl said almost proudly.

"Well… so… unnnngggghh…" Saria began to moan and mumble unintelligibly.

"Yeah, we know Saria, we all had our first time." Cheryl said calmly.

"Why so painful? Why? Why? Why?"

"That's not the half of it; you have already shown some of the other signs of it."

"Like what?"

"Acting moody."

"I'M NOT MOODY!"

"There, you just overreacted, case and point." Cheryl stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

Then Saria just broke down, crying and sobbing like she was in a life or death situation.

"Do you want to go to bed now with Link?"

Through crying and tears, Saria managed to nod her head.

Cheryl and Rareen picked Saria up and lifted her back to bed, and then placed her next to Link.

The moment Link noticed she was back in bed, the new twelve year old, he had just had his birthday recently, wrapped his arm around her.

"It's going to be alright. I'm here." Link hugged her tightly, and the melodious voice of Link lulled her to sleep, despite the pain.

Ok, no, seeing as that was technically the just a prologue, I will talk a bit about it, and then let you continue...

From what I've been told, (yeah, any one of you would've laughed as I collected that information... lol) much of that was very correct... I feel pretty dang sorry for you girls out there... periods don't sound fun AT ALL.

Now, I'll let you all go back now...

Link and Saria hated puberty. So many things had changed for them in just a simple three years. Before, when they first admitted their love for one another, Link was shorter, cuter, and sweeter. He was still sweet, in his own way, but he got much taller, much stronger, and all around, more adult like. Even though he wasn't in comparison to Xavier yet, he was still far taller than Saria, whose growth was minimal compared to Link. And it wasn't that he hated the growth, far from it, he loved it, he was stronger, faster, and unbelievably more handsome. But it was the other thing that annoyed him, like the occasional voice cracking, and the voice getting deeper. Also his mindset, that once was so innocent and pure, now started looking at Saria, the girl he loved, in a slightly different way, one that led him to do things similar what he and Saria had done earlier that morning. (A/N: Oh no, what had they done this particular morning I wonder?)

Saria too, had changed, for better or worse. Before, she had the youthful cuteness that followed her every step, but now, she was caught somewhere between the girl she once was, and a beautiful woman like Cheryl. Still, she was in all ways pretty, and still maintained a bit of her youthful aura, but now she had more womanly qualities about her; such as those curves that Cheryl had that Saria had been so curious about getting. But now, for the first time in 586 years, she finally understood exactly why she wore brassiere, to keep her upper chest, which had grown outward slightly, from being agitated and scratched by her ever shrinking clothing. All of these changes, though somewhat disturbing for her, she was fine with, in fact, some of them, curves included, she was rather happy about. The only thing she truly loathed about this puberty thing was the menstrual cycle. Three times now she had had a 'period' as Cheryl and Rareen called it, and she was expecting her fourth within the next week or so. Either way, the promises of it getting better over the years didn't seem to be working yet. Saria still hated the pain, and would often still shed tears over both the pain and the very fact that she couldn't stop herself from crying, which was no doubt the moodiness described by Cheryl and Rareen.

Of course, Saria too had a different opinion about Link, no longer was he cute, he was hot, and of course, she felt different about him being her boyfriend. For example, when they slept together in the same bed, and he would, as he normally did, wrap his arm around her, she would get a strange, electric feeling around her, and a desire to be even closer to him, the kind of closeness that the two had accidentally gotten to earlier that morning. (A/N: Again, this morning is mentioned... I wonder if I'm trying to hint something to you... lol...)

On this particular day, Cheryl, Rareen, and Xavier were all out at the market, leaving Link, who slept in, and Saria, who needed to take a shower in the bathroom that their kind friend, XT-421, had installed for them the last time he was over, alone together in the house, unsupervised.

Of course, for them, it was the perfect opportunity to break all of the rules that Rareen had told them never to break about their relationship. And, well, it resulted in yet another shower and getting their bed sheets messed up to the point of a need of washing. Needless to say, the crazy 13 year olds didn't care, and now knew how to feel about one another as they ventured forth into the uncharted waters called adolescence.

Well, so THAT is what I was mentioning...

To any of you who are interested in that kind of, I do have an alternative chapter (THAT I WILL NOT POST EVER) that was what happened that particular morning. It is a lemon, yes, and no, it is not my first. If anyone wants to read it, PM me, or put it in a review, we can work something out.

Very soon, I will have another chapter on this...

Until then...

More coming soon...
