Chapter One: Flower Garden

Waking up to the sound of a galloping horse was almost an everyday experience for Link nowadays, what with sending Ganon to the Sacred Realm, he was now one of Hyrule's most eligible bachelors, even though he was just sixteen. But almost every other day, the girl on the horse was a certain ranch owner's fiery-haired daughter, who always had something for them to do…

"Link, are you awake…?" Malon called as she reigned her horse, Nutmeg, to a stop.

"Hi Malon," Link said as he walked outside and stretched, getting the last bits of sleepiness from his muscles.

"Um, Link…"

"Yeah?"

"Look down…"

"Huh..? Oh!"

He blushed as he realized he was shirtless, and went inside to put on his normal forest green tunic, as well as his favorite pair of boots.

"Sorry about that Malon, it didn't register…"

"It's ok, I just… anyways, I have something different for today, you up for it?"

"That depends on what it is."

"Planting a flower garden… If you don't want to you don't-"

"I want to! I, uh… I mean, that sounds fun, besides, even if it didn't, you would be there, and you can make everything fun to me."

This made Malon blush, and giggle a little bit. It sounded like Link might like her!

"Malon? Helloooo?" Link asked as he waved his hand in front of her face.

Malon screamed and jumped as she was woken from her daydream, stumbling and almost falling, if it wasn't for Link, who caught her before she hit the ground.

"You ok? You could have seriously hurt yourself!"

"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to, you just startled me."

"I know, I'm sorry for scaring you. Are you ok?"

"Yes, thank you for catching me, and… nevermind."

"And…? Ok…"

"Are you ready to leave? I found the perfect spot!"

Link chuckled a bit at her excited attidude.

"Sure."
