These people were in the middle of Hyrule Field. One minute it was peaceful and calm, then the next minute a bomb fell from the sky and everything was covered by fire. The sky was dark from all the smoke, and people from different nations were attacking each other. It was a horrible sight for those three people. It was a never ending nightmare.

***
Link woke-up screaming. He looked around to see that he was in his room at the Kokiri Forest. "Whew, that was another horrible nightmare. I don't ever want to be in it ever again," he said to himself.

Saria then entered Link's door. "Link! Are you okay?" Saria asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It was just a-a nightmare," Link said to Saria.

"You've been having nightmares lately...haven't you?" Saria said. Link nodded. "You can tell me anything. You can even tell me your nightmares," Saria told Link. The thing with Saria is that she was Link's best friend since they were little. Link had no friends in the Kokiri Forest, and Saria was the only one who accepted him as her friend.

"Well...Zelda was in my dream. And we were in the middle of Hyrule Field, it was peaceful. Then a huge bomb fell from the sky...then everything was under fire," Link explained. "In the fire we saw people from different nations fighting each other. They wanted to kill each other and we couldn't stop it. We even saw many dead bodies on the flaming grass," Link was trying to hold back the tears. Saria embraced him. "But there was something that I didn't understand," Link said.

"What is it?" Saria asked.

"Zelda and I weren't the only ones there," Saria gave Link a confused look. "There was someone else there. A girl we didn't know," Link told her.

"What do you mean?" wondered Saria.
"In my dream, there was a girl with long black hair tied in a ponytail. She seemed, more experienced then both of us," Link said.

"Well...maybe it's someone you're going to meet. I think you should go and talk to Zelda about this," Saria told him. Link thought about it for about it for a moment, then stood up and walked to his door. He stooped and turned to Saria.

"I'll be back later." She told him bye, and he walked out of the forest.

Zelda woke-up screaming. She looked around to see that she was in her room at Hyrule Castle. "Sigh, it was just another nightmare," she said to herself.

Impa walked in the princess' door. "Zelda, what is the matter?" she asked. Zelda looked at her, and then looked down. "You can tell me anything sweetie," Impa told her. Impa is Zelda's nursemaid. She's good friends with her parents, until her mother died when Zelda was three. Since then, Impa acted like Zelda's mother and Zelda would tell her almost everything.

"Well Impa, I had another nightmare," Zelda said.

"What was this nightmare about?" Impa asked her.

"Well...Link was in the dream. We were in the middle of Hyrule Field. One minute it was peaceful, and then the next minute there was a bomb falling in front of us. After it exploded, the whole field was covered by fire. We saw people from different nations fighting each other. We even saw people that were dead in the field of fire," Zelda explained as tears were falling from her eyes. Impa embraced her. "It was horrible; I never want to be in it ever again." Impa calmed Zelda down. "But, something was different about this nightmare then the others I've had in the past," Zelda added.

"What is it?" Impa asked.

"Other than Link and I being there...there was another person. It was a girl that we never knew." Impa glanced at Zelda, and Zelda glanced back.

"Maybe you should speak with Link about this," Impa suggested.

Zelda thought about it for a moment and stood up from her bed. "Okay, maybe I will. Thank you Impa," Zelda then walked into her closet and got dressed with an ordinary dress. When she got out of her closet, a guard went to her room and told her that Link was at the castle entrance. She then went to the entrance of the castle to meet with Link. "Hello Link," she greeted.

"Hi Zelda," he greeted back. "Zelda, I need to talk to you about something," Link said.

Zelda nodded. "Come with me. I know a place where we can talk privately." Zelda took Link's hand and they started out the castle.

A human girl with a long ponytail, black jeans, and a black shirt woke--up screaming in the ally of Castle Town. She looked around and saw that she was at the last place she slept. "S-so it was just a nightmare," she said to herself. "Well I can't control what I dream now can't I." 'But who were those other two people that were with me?' she thought.

She then heard her stomach growl. "Well I can't worry about it now. Right now, I should find something to eat." She looked around to see where she could get her food. She then looked at the castle and smiled. "I guess I should put my Gerudo skills to the test, now should I." Then she sneaked her way toward the castle.

When she got to the castle gates, she looked around to see if any guards are nearby. 'Hmm, there has to be a way in that castle. I shouldn't have any problem. This isn't anything like the time I sneaked in the Gerudo Fortress,' she thought.

She climbed the fence, and sneaked pass the guards that were in the path. Then she climbed the second smaller gate. 'Man these guards are so stupid,' she thought. She looked up at the tall castle. Then the girl started climbing the wall. She stopped when she smelled food from the window. The girl took a little peak and saw all the food ready to be served.

The chefs walked outside to announce that breakfast was ready. When they did that, the girl snuck in through the window. She quickly got the food and stuffed it in her shirt and took off, out the window. She jumped off the second story, making a perfect landing on her feet. 'Hah, if only my Gerudo teachers would see me now,' she thought. She walked around the moat to find an opening that she can squeeze through along with the food. When she got through the other side of the opening, she found what seemed like a courtyard. "Perfect," she whispered. The girl took the food and sat in the middle of the circle of flowers and started eating.

***
Zelda and Link walked in the dining hall, only to see that the food wasn’t on the table. They saw that some chefs were explaining to Impa why there isn’t any food. Zelda and Link walked over to Impa and the head chef.

“Impa, what’s the matter?� Zelda asked Impa.

“Well you see, the chefs finished making breakfast. They left the kitchen to tell everyone that the food was ready. Then when they returned to the kitchen, the food was gone,� Impa said.

“One minute the food was there, and then the next poof, it was gone,� said the chef.

“If I didn’t know any better, I think someone stole the food,� Link said. Everyone gasped in the room. “This didn’t happen long ago, so the person who stole it must still be in the castle.�

“Well let’s go find that robber,� said one guard. Then the guards left the dining hall, and the chef went to the kitchen to make more food.

“Zelda, Link, I’ll look on the second and third floor of the castle,� Impa said. “You two look on the ground level.� Then Impa left to check the castle.

“Zelda? What are you thinking?� Link said as Zelda was lost in thought.

“Well, if the person who stole the food wanted to eat it somewhere safe, that person needed to find a safe place that no one else knows about,� she said.

They both thought for a moment and looked at each other. “The courtyard,� they both said in unison. Then they walked toward the courtyard.

***
When Zelda and Link got to the courtyard, they saw someone lying on the circle of flowers. Link unsheathed his sword. As they got closer, they saw that it was a girl hugging a piece of ham. The girl was asleep.

“Link, do you think she’s the one who stole the food,� Zelda whispered to Link.

Link shrugged his shoulders. “The evidence pointed to her,� he whispered back. “Um…excuse me. Can you wake-up?� Link asked the sleeping girl.

“No, just five more minutes dad,� she mumbled. Somehow Link knew that’s going to be her answer.

“Please wake-up,� but no movement. “Wake –up!�

With that, she jumped off the ground. “Hey, why’d you scream at me?� said the girl. She then looked up at Zelda and Link. They had a scowl on their faces. Then she looked at the ham.

“What are you doing with that ham?� Link said with a stern voice.

“Uh…I…was um….�

“Did you steal it from the castle?� Zelda said with a stern voice also.

“I…um.�

“Answer the question!�

“Okay I was the one who stole the food okay. If you want to fight me sword boy, then bring it on,� said the girl. She was in a fighting stance.

Link was ready to fight her, but Zelda placed her hand on his shoulder. “Link wait, does that girl look familiar?� Zelda asked him.

“Come to think of it…she does look familiar,� Link said as he put away his sword. The girl realized that he wasn't going to fight her, so she stopped her fighting stance. Link and Zelda remembered that girl. “I know you. You’re that girl in our nightmare,� Link blurted out loud.

“Yeah, your that girl that was with us in Hyrule Field,� Zelda said.

“Wait, you’re the two people that I saw in my nightmare?� It was more of a statement than a question. The girl examined Link and Zelda. “Yup, you guys look like them,� she said. “But why did we have the same nightmare?�

“It’s because it means something,� Zelda said. The girl looked confused. “First, we should introduce ourselves. My name is Zelda.�

“And my name is Link. What’s your name?� he asked the girl.

“My name…oh, my name is…Rin,� her voice changed from forceful to sincere.

“Come on, let’s go to my room,� Zelda said as they walked out of the courtyard.

***
They walked into Zelda’s room. Zelda and Link sat down on the bed while Rin stayed at the door. “Aren’t you going to sit with us?� Link asked Rin.

“Does Zelda mind?� she asked.

“I don’t mind at all,� Zelda said. Then Rin slowly walked towards the bed. She looked at Zelda again, and she nodded her head. Rin then sat down on the mattress. It was like sitting on fluffy clouds.

“So…not trying to be rude, but can you two tell me a little about yourselves?� Rin asked.

“Well…I’m the princess of Hyrule. Now, I’m 17 years old. My mother died when I was three, and I have a nursemaid that acts like my mother. I tell her almost everything. And I am very wise for my age.�

“And I’m a Hylian that lives in the Kokiri Forest. Just as Zelda, I’m also 17 years of age. I never knew my parents and I have a friend at the Kokiri Forest that takes care of me. And I am very brave for my age. What about you Rin?�

Rin looked down. “I’m a Human, and I’m 16. I-I never knew my family. I never had a home…I wonder around Hyrule without anyone to take care of me.� Zelda and Link looked at each other, and Rin started crying. Zelda embraced the crying girl and rubbed her back gently.

“So, how did you survived?� asked Link.

Through her sobs, “I stayed at Goron City, Zora’s Domain, Twili Village, and Gerudo Fortress with no one finding me. I had to eat the left over trash to survive. Only one person from each town found me and taught me the ways of their nation,� she slowed her tears.

“I learned how to be strong like a Goron. I learned how to hold my breath for a long period of time like a Zora. I learned how to steal from people like a Gerudo. And I learned how to hide in the shadows like the Twili.� Link and Zelda were amazed at Rin. She went to different places in Hyrule like Link did when he was 10. The only difference with her and Link, she didn’t had to travel around Hyrule to stop Ganondorf. That and she could’ve traveled Hyrule at a younger age.

“I am so sorry to hear that Rin,� Zelda said still comforting her.

Rin tried to stop the tears. “I’m sorry for bothering you two about my life,� Rin told Link and Zelda.
'For a girl who’s endured many hardships, she really is a kind person,' Zelda thought.

“So how did you two met?� Rin asked as she sat back up.

Zelda and Link looked at each other. Link closed his eyes. “Man that goes way back. Well I had a dream that I saw a girl, a woman, and a horse run away from the gates of Castle Town. Then this Gerudo man appears in front of me with a black mare. After that I woke-up with a fairy above me. Then I had to help the Deku Tree, after I helped him I had to go see the Princess of Destiny. So I had to go to Hyrule Castle to see Zelda. When I entered the secret passage that leads to the courtyard, I saw Zelda looking at the window.� Link opened his eyes and looked at Zelda and she looked at him back.

“I heard a noise from behind me…and I saw Link with his fairy. My heart skipped a beat when I saw his blue eyes. He did a quest that I sent him on. After Ganondorf was defeated, we started to hang out.� Rin could see the love in their eyes; she made a tiny little smile.

'Aww, I didn’t know they had a little crush', Rin thought. “I can’t believe that you two knew each other for seven years,� Rin said. Zelda and Link both nodded their heads slowly, still looking at each other. Rin poked them in the cheek gently enough to get them out of their trance. They both looked confused. Rin giggled, and then she sighed. Zelda and Link looked at her.

“What’s wrong?� Zelda asked.

“Nothing it’s just…I haven’t laughed or giggled in such a long time,� Rin said. Zelda and Link smiled. They sat in silence for 5 minutes. Then Rin broke the silence. “Zelda, Link,� she said. They look at her. “Do…you two consider me as your…friend?�

Link and Zelda smiled. “Of-course we consider you as our friend,� Zelda said.

“Why wouldn't we?� Link added.

“Well…I did steal from you. I also tried to fight you guys. Why would you want to be friends with me?� Rin stated.

“One thing’s for sure, you apologized. A thief would never apologize to the people he stole,� Link said.

“That is true; all the people that stole from me and was caught never apologized. Besides, we both know that you’re not a bad person,� Zelda said. Rin had a glimmer of happiness in her eyes, and Link and Zelda saw it.

***
“Well it’s getting late, I guess I better to go home,� Link said. “Bye Zelda, bye Rin,� and with that, Link left Zelda’s room.

“Well I guess I should go to the ally now,� Rin added as she started leaving Zelda’s room.

“No you’re not.� Rin looked back and Zelda was standing up. “You’re sleeping in the guest bedroom. I can’t let my friend sleep in an ally. Come on, follow me.� Zelda led Rin to the bedroom next to her.

“This is going to be your room until you find a place to live. You can wear the clothes that are in the closet until your clothes are cleaned.�

“Are you sure it’s okay Zelda?�

“As long as I say if it’s okay, then your fine. Good night,� and with that she went back to her room and changed into her nightgown.

Rin walked over to the closet, she found a black nightgown in the back and put it on. She took the covers off and lied on the fluffy bed. She lied there looking up at the ceiling drifting into her thoughts.

'Is this all a dream? A wonderful dream that would never end? Link and Zelda…they were really nice to me, even though I stole their food. My prayer to the gods has finally come true.' She closed her eyes and drifted into her dreams.
