A/U; Okay there is some things you need to know before reading. First; this story came to me after reading "Smash-n-Mash's story To Meet Again" you should really read that one. But this story is different from "To Meet Again" on very many levels, and if you read it you'll see that too. Second; This story takes place sometime after Ocarina of Time meaning that Link already saved Hyrule. The only difference's that I've described Castle Town a little as it was in Twilight Princess. Third; My English grammar may not be so perfect (I'm not born in America but I live there now) so if you find something wrong just tell me and I'll fix it. Yeah I guess that was everything. But if you have a question or something just drop a review.

So enjoy guys, I hope you'll like this one!

Oh right; I don't own anything, Nintendo on the other hand owns everything - except for Kayla, her I own, no stealing, copyright!

"C'mon, c'mon!"

Malon felt how someone started to pull the sheet, so naturally Malon pulled the white sheet to her chin preventing who ever it was from pulling it of off her. "Go away," she mumbled.

It got quiet, and Malon felt how the excerpted sheet loosened so with all of her strength Malon opened one of her azure blue eyes meeting the sight of a child no more then six years of age.

Malon sat up and brushed away her red hair. "Kayla." Malon felt how the tiredness dripped from her soar eyes and how a yawn threatened to escape her lips, but she decided to ignore it. "What are you doing here?"

"You were going to be late." Malon noticed how Kayla's eye widened and her bottom lip shivered. She was near tears.

"Oh honey." Malon lifted the white sheet and motioned for Kayla to come sit next to her, which she carefully did, and leaned her back against Malon's chest.

Malon wrapped her right arm around Kayla's small frame and with her left hand she brushed through Kayla's hair, which Malon knew Kayla adored. After all, that was how they spent every night. "I would never miss this. It has been on my 'to do list' for a whole month now."

Kayla tilted her head so she could get eye contact with the young woman and Malon could see that her lip shivered still. "Really?" A sob made it through Kayla's so usually high spirit sending a cold chill down Malon's back.

"Really," Malon said, giving her an assuring smile. "Now go get ready, and I'll be right behind you."

"You promise?" Kayla asked as she, with her newly filled energy shot herself of the bed and now looked down at Malon with sparkling sapphire blue eyes.

"I promise."

Malon watched how Kayla flashed her smiled and raced out of the room with her white nightgown fallowing her closely. She was so radiant even Malon had to chuckle.

But as reality finally caught up with her Malon had to force her eyes to look away from the door Kayla just raced out of and Malon pushed herself out of bed too.

Malon was no morning person, at least not anymore. There was a time when she would wake up at five a clock to actually have the time she needed to tend to the ranch. But ever since her father decided he was going to turn another leaf and start to work again, there was very little left for Malon to do, and she constantly found herself daydreaming of something totally different.

And of course that happened.

Malon slammed her wardrobe door shut. "There was no point in self pity. Nobody liked a whiner."

When Malon finally got dressed she began walking towards the kitchen since she knew that she could find both Kayla and Talon there. They were always there at this time a day.

Kayla was the one that announced Malon's presence as soon as she sat a foot inside the kitchen doors. "Hi mommy," she yelled trying to overdo the sounds that Talon made as he looked for something in the cabinets under the sink.

"God morning, again," Malon said as she sited herself next to Kayla. "What is he doing?" She pointed with one of her slender fingers at Talon's blue rear.

Kayla started to titter like a three year old and her cheeks were dotted with red, which she usually got when she was overly happy. "I dared grandpa to do pancakes." She started to jump up and down in her seat and clapping her hands in delight. "I told him he couldn't make pancakes and then he just laughed and he hasn't poked his head out of that cabinet ever since."

"Ah." Malon nodded in understandingly, as her eyes lightly hung on Talon's behind.

Talon had always been on Malon's back about grandkids. He would at all times say something, as if he tried to point her into the right direction. "Have you given any thoughts about kids, Malon darling?", "Malon you're sixteen years of age don't you think it time you found a suitable young man to settled down with and start planning for your future?", "Malon, I don't know how long I have left in this life and I like to rest peacefully knowing that you have someone that can take care of you and the ranch."

He always thought Malon wanted what other girls her age wanted. They would always dream about, planning for the perfect wedding, marrying a gorgeous man in a tux, having three children and living happily ever after. But Malon didn't need a man to make her life feel complete. All she needed was to know that she was going to live on the ranch, and that everyone Hyrule over liked her milk so she could continue her deliveries. That was enough for Malon. But once she became aware of Kayla, Malon's dreams started to kick off. She started to dream about a bigger house, children laughing, and marrying that handsome man in a tux. But of course life had something else in store for her. Something Malon never found any peace in. Something she dearly wanted to change, but never had the courage to.

But someone that didn't change was Talon. As soon as he laid eyes on Kayla he treasured her higher then the goodness' themselves. He did everything for her, pancakes included. And that made Kayla somewhat spoiled – well as spoiled as she could get being that she was a farmer's daughter.

"Mommy? Do you really like grandpa's rear that much?" Kayla asked as she held a hand over her thin lips, trying to prevent a laugh bubbeling dangerously near her mouth.

Malon jerked out of her thoughts and meet Kayla's laughing eyes. "Nah," she said playfully, "Not even near as much as I love yours."

"Mom!" Kayla yelled felling how hot her cheeks became.
