I'm BACK! (And right now listening to songs in all different languages! Mainly Japanese…) and you know what surprised me? The number of people who are "Bad with names." ( Quote) And also the amount of people who thought the story was

Bluedranzer77: Haha, that was funny. "And They Kissed!" thanks for the review!

One last thing! I would like to know how some people figure that eight plus seven equals seventeen? Yet somehow Meghan is going to go back to being eight years old with him…

On with da story!

"Meghan…Meghan, wake up sweetie. Time for-"

"Mom?" Meghan asked, her eyes flickering open. All she saw was white for a few seconds. Then the white light formed lines, dividing it into the stones that made up the Temple of Time. She sat up after watching the scene before her unfold. She remembered she was in the temple…then he put the Master Sword back… "Oh my god! Link?" She frantically searched the room. She calmed down when she saw his figure sprawled out on the floor a few feet away. She crawled over to him, her back sore. She must have been sent flying.

"Link…wake up." She shook his arm. "Come on." She shook him harder. "Link."

She sighed with relief as his eyes squeezed tight. "Link?" she asked. He slowly opened his eyes and blinked a few times. He turned his head and looked at her. He smiled. "Link…" she said breathily, smiling and half crying at the same time.

He reached up, and as she thought he was going to touch her face, he reached even past her face and touched…her EAR?

She sat back and put her hand over his. The feeling seemed to extend farther than usually…

"Oh my god! Esses! I mean! What?" Link removed his hand and sat up.

"You're Hylian now."

"Me? What?" She touched her ears, her face, and everything that a Hylian had different than a human. She pulled her hair in front of her so she could see it. It now had the same texture as Link's did. Smooth and shiny. Plastic-y.

"Look at you. You're so beautiful like that."

"Thank you…" Meghan blushed.

"Well, that's new."

"What?"

"You're blushing!"

"No I'm not!" But she only turned a darker shade. "I never…um…"

"Truth. You are."

"Really?" She touched her cheek for some unknown reason.

"Really really." He said in a weird voice.

"OK, don't do that. Anyway, great. The big giveaway." She looked away.

"Don't be depressed. I've had to have my face turn red my whole life."

"Except seven years," she reminded him.

"Yeah. You've only just started."

"I guess." She stared at him. His eyes, though they still were big, blue, beautiful, and endless, didn't have the same effect on her. She could stare into them all she wanted. But today, they were different. Yet she practically hypnotized herself, trying to get him to hypnotize her. She shook her head. "Come on, let's go. We have to find everybody! This is so awesome!" She pulled on his hands and helped him stand. "Can you believe it?"

"…Yes and no. But yes!" He picked her up and twirled her around. "This is so…awesome!"

"AWESOME!" She said as he put her down.

She gasped as the floor started shaking.

"Come on! The Door of Time!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room. She just squeezed through the closing door, and it closed with a slam.

"Well, that was close."

Link nodded in agreement.

"Let's go." she said. Whether she was imagining it or not, as she started to walk, Meghan felt off-balance. It was different. She could have sworn her feet shrank…or she shrank…or something shrank…

By the time she had exited the temple, though, she felt nearly the same. She tore through the town, Link right after her. She reached the field and leaned over in the stream near the moat. She could see a reflection of herself.

Who was this person? She was so different. The first thing she noticed was her ears. They were so long now. She couldn't decide if she liked it or d it. The next thing she noticed was her eyes. They looked slightly different. A different shape, slightly. Not as much as Link's, but they were definitely different. Maybe something that contributed to that was her eyebrows. Instead of random like most people's, the little hairs seemed to be straight and in order. She couldn't tell too well in the water, but they were different. Or maybe she was just imagining things after observing Link's this morning?

Looking over her skin, every flaw she remembered having, the scars on her hands, they were all gone.

Quickly remembering, she lifted her shirt slightly and looked at her stomach. To her dismay, the scar was still there, as prominent and outstanding as always. Link must have seen the disappointment on her face as she lowered her shirt. He kneeled down next to her.

"It's probably still there because it was made by Ganon's sword. It's probably ic. It could have…" he trailed off, not wanting to say the words he was thinking. He was thinking stupid words, and upsetting words. He wanted to say, "Cursed your skin," but that was weird. "It could, for all we know, never go away."

"Well…that's all right I think. It's not like it hurts all the time." She suddenly gasped. "If I'm…" but she faded away. With a flourish, she pulled her knife out.

"What are you doing?"

"Seeing!" She braced herself for the pain, and then quickly cut herself on the side of her wrist. "Ow!" she cried, but even after a few seconds, no came out, and the pain eventually receded. All that was left was a cut, literally, in her skin. "It's not bleeding!"

"Yes. I guess you're like me now."

"But that means…awesome!"

He nodded in agreement. "We need to find Zelda." He said after a moment.

"Then why did we come out here?"

"You sorta did that."

"Oh. Right. COME ON!"

At the castle, she asked the guard out front if he saw Zelda around.

"Yeah, she came running in. She looked upset."

"She went inside?"

"I honestly can't say. Another guard followed her."

"Thank you." They both said to the guard. He nodded.

"We need to find her soon so we can tell her!" They ran inside the gate thing and followed the path to the castle. They ran inside.

"Darn it! Well, I think I know…where…"

"Wait! I don't think she's in the castle."

"Why not?"

"I don't know; it doesn't seem right that she would be."

"Well then where do you think she is?"

"I can answer that question." A voice said a little TOO conveniently.

"Rauru?" Meghan whispered.

"Zelda is with me in the Sacred Realm. Along with the rest of the sages." They found themselves surrounded in lights. Then they were in the Garden of the es' Wish. They saw Zelda in the gazebo thing. Meghan looked to the side of it. She saw a faint golden light. It nearly seemed the shape of a Hylian. Two bright blue lights that looked like eyes were where the face would be.

But as soon as she noticed it, it went away.

"Did…what…never mind. Zelda!" She ran forward. Zelda looked up. Meghan realized as she drew closer that Zelda had been crying. Zelda stared at her.

"Meghan!"

"Zellie!" Zelda stood up and Meghan practically hug tackled her.

"Oh goddesses! Look at you! Look! You're beautiful! Thank you goddesses." Zelda embraced Meghan as though she was her child. "You're OK…" she whispered.

"Zelda. You just said OK. I've never heard you say OK before."

"Looks like you've rubbed off on me." Zelda smiled.

"Where are the rest of the sages?" Meghan asked after Zelda had stared at her for some time.

"They're around." Link was now standing next to them. "Link! I'm so glad…" She gave Link a big hug.

"Thanks, Zelda." He said while returning the hug slightly. Zelda let go, exhaled loudly, and smiled.

"Come on. Let's find the other sages!" Zelda took Link and Meghan's hands and pulled them towards the stonewall at the end of the garden. She ran right through it and ended in the Chamber of the Sages.

"Meghan!" came a few voices.

"Link!" came the others.

"Meghan, are you all right?" Saria asked.

Meghan nodded. "Yeah."

"You're different than you were before. You look like a Hylian."

"Yeah…"

"She IS a Hylian," Nabooru said, looking her over and circling her. "Yes. A Hylian." Meghan turned slightly red. "Now Meghan, there's no reason to blush!"

"I don't mean to! Am I? Really?"

"Yes, silly."

They heard a faint "ahem" as they chatted. Meghan, Nabooru, and Saria looked to where it came from. Rauru. Saria and Nabooru smiled at each other and stepped back onto their respective platforms. All the other sages did the same, Except Zelda, who moved off the whole entire platform. Meghan thought she was going to fall, but she remembered you could walk there. Another platform appeared where she walked. Link joined Meghan in the middle.

"Rauru?" Zelda asked.

"I called you to order because the es have chosen to do something we thought unimaginable."

"By the es, yeah!" Darunia said.

"So we must-"

"Oh, Rauru. Give it up. This isn't the time for business! Let them go." Nabooru said.

"As unrespectable as it sounds, I agree with Nabooru. Another time we can ponder these strange happenings. For though moment, though, Meghan still hasn't seen herself completely!"

Meghan thought, how does she know that?

"Yeah. What they said." Ruto muttered.

Zelda started to laugh.

"Oh, Rauru. It's all right this time. Celebration! That's what we should be doing. Celebrating! Bye everyone." Suddenly all the sages little orbs of light of their own color. Green, blue, yellow, red, purple, and orange. Then Meghan and Link were surrounded by white.

"Bye." Zelda said. It sounded as though she was laughing and crying at the same time.

For a few seconds, Meghan felt as though she was nowhere. She looked around. She didn't see the Chamber of Sages, or anywhere in Hyrule…

She looked around. Everything was just white. Then she saw a bit of gold. It was like the figure she saw earlier, only this one had red eyes.

Later

Later

The word echoed through her head. She started to run towards the figure. It stayed exactly where it was, growing larger with every step until she was right next to it. It was a bit taller than her.

"Who are you?"

It burst in flames. Meghan stepped back. When the flames receded it was gone. "More like 'what' are you." She stared into the spot where it was.

"Meghan?" Link asked. She found herself in the field. "Are you all right?"

She cocked her head to one side. "What?"

"Are you all right?"

"No, not you. I just saw something."

"What was it?" he said, looking where she was looking.

"Not here." She squinted. "It looked like a person, but it wasn't."

"Then what was it and where did you see it?"

"I was in this white room and it said 'later' to me and then burst into flames and was gone. It was all gold colored."

"Gold colored…?" he thought for a second. Gold…a…goddess? "Meghan, what did she look like?"

"I don't know if it was a she. It was just gold figured and had these piercing red eyes."

"Oh." He didn't want to freak her out, if that's what it was.

"Hey, can we go back to the castle? I need to get changed."

"OK."

"And there's a mirror there!"

"Yes!"

"Yay!" She started running to the town, over the drawbridge, through town, past guards and into the castle. Even when they entered the castle, she didn't stop.

"Do you know where…?"

"Yes! I feel confident!" And within a few minutes, they were standing outside her door. "See? I only took two wrong turns!"

Link laughed. Meghan opened the door and let them in. She ran to the mirror on the wall.

"Look!" she cried, pointing at the mirror. "Is that me?"

"It looks like you."

"Are you sure?" She saw many details that proved she was herself, her height, hair color, eye color, and the shape of her face. It was just little details like the size of her ears, shape of her eyes and eyebrows, and skin and hair texture that made her different. She leaned in very close to the mirror.

"Can you see yourself yet?" he asked jokingly.

"No." she said monotonously. Actually, now that she examined herself, her eyes looked different. Darker. Maybe it was just her imagination, though…

She stared at herself for so long that Link sighed and sat on the couch.

"I'm done." She said sulkily. "I'm going to get changed."

"OK." She skipped into her bedroom, closing the door.

(AT THIS MOMENT I WOULD LIKE ANY BOYS WHO ARE READING THIS TO SKIP THIS PART AND RESUME AT THE NEXT NOTE THING. WHY? I DON'T KNOW! ) (Ahem, TheHylian, you too!)

Now that Meghan removed her clothes, she saw more differences. (OK, not even going to get into it…) (ermherm…something to do with the UPPER BODY…) (That area)

She switched her clothes with a black shirt and black pants. Yes, today she felt like what she was even though she never would be it now. After brushing her hair she collapsed onto the bed. Then she got an idea.

She went through the drawers. No…no…she said with each fail. Finally she found what she was looking for.

"Awesome." She pulled out a pair of black gloves. She pulled them on under her sleeves. Lastly, she dug out a pair of boots from the closet.

"Um…" she started going through all the drawers again. "Yes!" she pulled out the almighty black makeup.

She applied it to her eyes. "Now we are complete." She started to laugh maniacally. She threw open the door and surprised Link.

For two reasons.

"Isn't it…"

"What?"

"Never mind."

"Oh, ignore these clothes. I just haven't worn black in so long I had to go overboard!"

"OK."

(Boys may now resume reading.)

"Um…what do we do now?"

"…I don't know."

"…We could…"

"Yeah?"

"No…"

"No…"

"Yeah."

"OK…"

"No…no…"

"Huh?"

"What are we talking about?" Meghan giggled. Link smiled.

"I don't know."

"Je ne sais pas, monsieur."

"Well, that's good. Now, where do you want to go?"

"I don't know. How about just going and seeing what we do when we get there?"

"Sounds good." They left the room.

They had gotten as far as the field when the question popped up again.

"Now what do we do?"

"Sit down on the grass." She said, plopping down. She put her ear to the ground. "I can hear things." He sat down next to her.

"A good thing."

"Yes, good."

"Very good."

"Yes, very good."

They spent their time talking. Soon they noticed the sun going down.

"It's that late already?"

"Must be. The sun wouldn't go down otherwise." She laughed.

"True. But who cares if the sun goes down or not?"

"Certainly not me. Because I always know it'll come back up tomorrow."

So true…no matter how bad things may seem, no matter how dark, it always will get better. Always.

Meghan was looking out to the rest of the field, when she noticed something.

"Epona?" Link looked where she was looking.

"Oh, it's Epona!"

"I just said that!" Link had gotten up. Epona galloped to him.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as Epona sniffed his hand and lipped it.

Meghan stood up. "Epona came to see us! She wanted to be sure we were all right!" Meghan went over and started T-touch on Epona. "She's very caring."

"I know…"

Epona seemed like she was smiling with all the attention she was getting.

"It's really weird. When I pamper Epona, she is benefiting from it. But also when I do that, she's making me all relaxed and stuff and I'm benefiting. You know what I mean?"

"Yes."

"It's like the 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine' thing."

"Yeah."

Meghan leaned her head against Epona, temporarily taking a break.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes." She said, immediately lifting her head.

"You look tired."

"I'm fine." Link shook his head.

"You really shouldn't push it. You've gone through so much today. No doubt that…the way you changed has taken quite a bit out of you."

"But I feel fine!"

"OK, but you know, it's OK to tell me if you're tired. You never really do. It's not like I'll think you're weak or anything."

Meghan nodded. Suddenly she yawned.

"OK, I am tired. Let's go sit over there." She nodded toward the stonewall thing. Link nodded. He took Epona's reins and led her over. Meghan nearly collapsed onto the wall.

"Meghan!" Link yelled, letting go of Epona and helped Meghan regain her balance.

"Why am I so tired all of a sudden?"

He sat next to her. "You don't look to well."

"I…feel fine, I'm…" Her eyelids started to droop. "Just tired…" she suddenly fell right over. He caught her awkwardly. He thought she was knocked out or something, but the tiny, nearly inaudible snores told him that she was just…sleeping.

"Meghan, I've never seen anyone fall asleep that fast." He whispered.

Meghan opened her eyes and found herself in the Garden of the es' Wish. She looked up to the familiar Garden, seeing the flowers in perfect, full bloom. She turned her head towards the gazebo and was surprised. There sat the two figures she had seen before, only now there was a third. This one had bright, green eyes that looked through her soul, it felt. It surprised her more now, because now she knew who these figures were. Or rather, who these es were. They were Nayru, Din, and Farore.

Her body had an urge to bow, to acknowledge their presence, but she didn't let it.

"Please, sit." Said the one with blue eyes. Nayru.

She was confused. First, where were they expecting her to sit, and why were they asking HER to sit in their presence?

"Behind you, and because you'll get tired standing after all the questions you have to ask." Meghan looked behind her and saw the most amazing thing. Stems, roots, vines, and flowers were all growing away from the grounded part of their plant and molding into the shape of a chair. The result was a chair that looked like it was wicker, with flowers molded in between it.

Meghan didn't want to sit, nor did she intend to, but she found herself doing just that. Nayru looked at her very carefully.

"No need to be shy. Please, ask as many questions as you need."

Meghan opened her mouth, but was afraid to say anything. After a look from Nayru, Meghan lowered her head and quietly asked, "Why did you decide to put me here, of all people? Zelda said that you…had a fight or something," she said that extra quietly for fear of offending them, "and put me, of all people, humans on Earth. I mean, if God wanted any harm done, why would he not put somebody who could cause real danger here? Like…some dude with a gun, Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, (Sorry if I spelled that wrong) or another terrorist who could really cause harm? Why a harmless little , like me?" Farore laughed.

"Dear girl, things are done for strange reasons. Although we do not know the human god's real intentions, we do know that he could never really be mad at us. I think he really intended to only cause a little bit of pain. Just a tiny bit. But I think he also knew that in the future, you would do more good than any evil you could do."

Meghan thought, I caused trouble?

"Yes, indeed. Do you not remember? You cause trouble for two of the most important people in the land. The Hero of Time, and the Sage of Wisdom, otherwise the Triforce of Courage and Triforce of Wisdom. And also the King of Evil, the Triforce of Power. You had the Hero running everywhere looking for you, dear, and although you don't know this, the Sage of Wisdom was following you for a while."

"I do remember…" Meghan said out of impulse.

"Do you understand now?"

"Yes."

"You have more to ask."

"Why did I become a Hylian?"

"We thought it was only fitting. You'll be here from now on."

"So I was never going to leave?"

"No. We do not know why you were so upset. It was never going to happen. We decided when we apologized that you would never leave. And you had that very dream. In the temple of Time."

"Oh yeah! But I didn't understand Hylian then."

"You don't now too much, either."

"Oh, right. I guess…"

"That's all right. It's all over now, correct?"

Meghan nodded. "I have a strange question."

"Go ahead."

"Why did I happen to land in front of Link when I came here? And how exactly did I come here?"

"Oh. That would be because in the beginning, we really did not know whom Human God was transporting. We intervened to be sure that the hero of Time could take care whomever was coming. We only found later that it was you." Din laughed.

"OK."

"You have more questions."

"Why didn't I die?"

"Die? When were you going to die? There was no where in the past in your destiny that said you were going to die."

"I guess my question is more like, why did I survive. I was so…dead."

"You were never , as you say. And the reason you survived was because there were people who loved you. People who would have given anything to keep you alive. Including their own lives."

Meghan smiled. She suddenly remembered that she had been sitting in the very place they were, only a few days ago. She felt special.

"There are more questions."

She thought for a moment.

"Does he forgive me?" She, of course, meant Link.

"For what, my dear?"

"For everything. I've done so much to him. Now that I think about it, when I first came here, I WAS a bit evil."

"I think he forgave you for everything before you even did it."

"I hope so…"

"Dear child, don't be so…assuming!" Nayru said, rising. "You have done nothing wrong and anything that you have done is ultimately the fault of the gods. We have taken a special liking to you…another question I see searing through your mind…because you were at the mercy of the Hylians. It could have gone any way. We had to be extra careful." By this time, Nayru was halfway to Meghan. "At the same time, nothing you did was your fault. You were not supposed to be here, but a destiny has been chosen. This is how you are now. And every move is entirely our doing." By this point, Nayru was very close to her. She wasn't really walking. Rather, she was…being closer. It was hard to explain. She was neither flying, nor walking. Just MOVING.

Meghan looked down. It was too bright to look at. She was afraid of being unrespectable too. She would have stood up, but Nayru was very close. She was panicking.

"Do not be so uncomfortable. I will not harm you. And you are not being disrespectful. Now, another question."

"Why doesn't Link have to eat and stuff and sleep? It seems like the other Hylians have to, and I have to, but he didn't! And now, he sleeps. He never did before."

"This is because of who he is. The Time Hero. While he was busy being the savior of Hyrule, time passed him by as if he was not there, although he was. This is also the reason for the health…meter, that you call it… It was a way of being when he was not. Time literally passed him by."

"But then how come the rest of the Hylians don't bleed?"

"They are different creatures than humans, as you will see. Things work differently for them. This…blood is not an element in their being. They do not require it to live, therefore do not retain it at all."

Meghan thought for a while. "I think that's all the questions I have. Thank you very much."

"No. There is one more questions. It ebbs away at your heart, yearning to break free. It is a question you know you have yet cannot be brought to ask. It's deep inside your heart. Look carefully inside yourself."

Meghan shut her eyes and thought carefully. Question…what question? Are you sure? She asked mentally.

"Shall I state it?"

"…Um…"

"The question you wish to ask. You wonder why Link picked you out of all the ones he could have picked from. Ones that would have made sense."

Now that she thought of that, she was sort of…curious…as to why.

"Yes. I wonder that."

"Well, I cannot answer that question." Meghan looked up suddenly. "You'll have to ask him yourself." She turned and was suddenly back with the other two. "I hope we have answered your questions. If you have any more, we'll be in your dreams."

Unexpectedly, the chair from underneath Meghan disappeared. She felt like she was going to hit the ground and braced for the pain, but she kept falling. She fell right back into her body. She saw herself sleeping in Link's arms before she went back into her body.

Yay! Before I leave, I just want to say that in August (I think august fourth to 23rd) I will be in Turkey, so I may not be able to put new chapters up. But believe me, I'll be writing the story like crazy on the plane and I don't know if my grandma still has her computer (most likely not) but if she does, I'll type it up there. I can always sneak over to my aunt's house, which I know has a computer, to check my email and stuff, but don't count on it. I'll probably have at least one more chapter up before I leave, though! OK, bye!
