Midna let out a happy sigh as she lay back in her bed, her belly having been filled with food. She could already tell that she was going to love it here. She got underneath the covers of her nice new bed, and closed her eyes. She could hear Link nearby, getting ready for bed too. It didn't take long for Midna to fall asleep.

Link lay in bed. For some reason, he felt strange. Usually, during that moment where day and night meet, he felt somewhat down, and sad. But not tonight. Tonight, he felt as if a big weight had been lifted off his heart. It was a feeling he couldn't quite explain. He just felt happy, even after getting next to no sleep, lugging around a bed and traveling across a dangerous field. "Goodnight Midna," he said, but he got no reply. He looked over to her only to see that she was already asleep. He had to admit, she looked quite cute. That thing that she could do with her hair was quite intimidating, but still, it was hard to believe that so many people wanted her dead. He was glad he got her out of the village before any real harm could come to her. Link closed his eyes, and quickly, he fell into a deep, well deserved sleep. However, his sleep was not entirely peaceful.

In his dream, he was surrounded by lizard-like men. In their hands, they held swords, shields, even bows. They were lizalfos, highly hostile creatures. Link held a sword in some hand, and a shield in the other. He was wearing an outfit he had never seen before, some kind of green tunic with chainmail underneath it. "We're surrounded!" Link yelled out to someone he couldn't see. A lizalfos quickly unleashed an arrow his way. Almost immediately, Link brought up his shield, which the arrow then hit. The arrow bounced off as the wooden shaft of it splintered. Another lizalfos lept right towards him, jumping into the air, preparing to bring his sword right down onto Link's head. Link quickly rolled underneath the jumping lizalfos. When the lizalfos landed, he then felt the cold metal of Link's sword slashing right through his back. The lizalfos dropped to the ground, in his belly, letting out a strange screech.

Link was glad that he managed to take one down without so much trouble, but he was still surrounded. There was so many of them. How was he going to kill them all? Another one tried slashing at him, while another tried to get him from behind. He blocked the sword strike with his shield, and then immediately slammed his shield right into the lizard man's face, making him stumble a bit. Link then dropped both his sword and his shield, and spun around to face the lizard man who was right behind him. He turned around just in time to see the lizard man thrusting his sword forwards. Link quickly grabbed the lizard man's arm, using his own momentum against him, he made the lizard man stab his own friend right in the stomach. He then threw his elbow right into the lizard man's face, knocking him back enough so he could pick up his sword again. Link leapt onto the lizard man he just elbowed, knocking him down to the ground. He plunged his sword right through the lizard man's neck, blood flowing from the brand new fatal wound he had just made. However, as soon as he pulled his blade free from the flesh of the lizard man, an arrow suddenly found itself embedded half way through Link's forearm. The pain was so intense, it actually woke Link up.

Link shot up out of bed, and looked straight down to his forearm. Fortunately for him, there was no arrow there. It was strange, he never had a dream like that. It felt so real, as if he was actually fighting them. He looked over to Midna, hearing her making some faint sounds. It looked as if she was having a dream too. He was still thinking about his dream. He hoped that he wouldn't have more dreams like that any time soon. Suddenly, Midna sat up, and groaned. "Are you alright?" Link asked her.

Midna looked back over to Link. "What are you still doing up?" she groggily asked.

"Probably the same reason you're up... Did you have a bad dream?" From the sounds of it, the imp was dreaming shortly before she awoke.

Midna nodded as she let out a little yawn. She had dreams before, but not like that. Her dreams were usually a little wilder, but the dream she just had, it felt way too realistic for her liking. There wasn't much she could do about it now except go back to sleep. She just turned onto her side, and tried to get some sleep. She didn't particularly feel like talking about her dream either. Slowly, she managed to fall back asleep. Link had a much tougher time getting to sleep, but eventually, he too fell asleep.

The next day...

Link was out patrolling the streets once more with Dylan. Midna hid herself inside Link's shadow. It was safer for her this way. So far, it seemed like just a normal day.

"So, how the bloody hell did you manage to kill a demon on your own and not get a scratch on you?" Dylan casually asked as they walked down a crowded street.

"I'm just that good," Link cheekily replied, guessing it couldn't hurt to play the part of the hero for once.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side. Oh, that reminds me, I heard some of the lads are getting together and clearing out some bridge so it's safe for travellers. Thought I would tell you, you know, because apparently you have some sort of weird death wish," Dylan said to him.

"How many rupees are on offer?" Link almost immediately asked. His strange nightmare of him being surrounded in battle did not dissuade him from taking the job. He could always use more rupees.

Dylan was almost convinced Link had some sort of death wish. Why chance death two times in a row? He felt like Link was pushing his luck. "You're a nutter, you are! Are you seriously thinking of putting your arse on the line for rupees again?"

"Signing up as a guard is doing pretty much that, isn't it?" Link replied.

"Pah! The biggest danger we face as guards are loud gorons trying to sell their creepy sex stuff in the markets. What you're doing is going out there and looking for trouble. Ahh, seeing as I probably can't change your mind, I hear the pay is good. Think it was something like, one-hundred?" he said almost as if he were questioning his memory. He wasn't entirely sure if it was one-hundred rupees, or something close to that. "You should ask the captain about the job. I hear it's going to be carried out by the princesses knights! But they need volunteers."

Link's thoughts then turned to promotion. No doubt that the story of him slaying a demon had gotten some people's attention. He hoped that by taking on more jobs like that, he may rise through the ranks. "I will ask as soon as our shift has finished," Link replied as they soon heard a familiar voice.

"ROPE, OIL! EVEN JELLY FOR THOSE SPECIAL OCCASIONS!"

Dylan looked as if he was about to explode. "GAAAAH! That massive burke is at it again!" He did not want to deal with this goron again. Once was enough for a lifetime.

Eventually, after finishing his shift and talking to the captain, Link walked into his home once more. Almost before he could even shut the door, Midna quickly flew out of his shadow. She let out a yawn as she stretched her arms and legs.

"Staying in your shadow is soooooooo boring," she said to the hylian. She knew sticking to his shadow was for both of their safety, but she wasn't sure if she could keep doing it.

"Would you prefer to stay inside this small place all day instead?" Link asked her.

"No," she replied with a little huff, crossing her arms. "But I don't want to just do nothing in your shadow either! I want to do something fun!"

"Something fun, huh?" Link thought to himself for a moment, before then getting an idea. "Then let's go do something fun," he said as he walked over to the chest near his bed. He pulled something out, keeping it from Midna's curious eyes. He then went ahead, and walked back towards his front door. Midna followed in his shadow. She hoped he had something fun planned.

One hour later...

Link and Midna stood out in a field, not too far away from the markets. Midna held a slingshot in one hand, aiming it towards a glass bottle, using small pebbles as ammunition. Just holding it like this hurt her arm a little bit. The band on the slingshot had an unusual amount of resistance to it. However, as soon as she released the pouch, she saw the rock fly right towards the bottle. She heard the top of the bottle shatter, and soon, a big grin grew across her face. "This silly thing is pretty fun." Midna didn't get to have many toys at all whilst growing up. Finally getting to play with something like a slingshot just brought a smile to her face.

"Are you sure you've never used a slingshot before?" Link asked, only inquiring because of just how accurate she seemed to be with it.

"I would know if I had used a slingshot before," she flatly replied before taking aim once more. Suddenly, she saw a new target in the distance. A devious smirk then replaced her straight faced expression.

Link noticed that she wasn't aiming at the bottle anymore, but something else. In the distance, he noticed A green skinned humanoid creature in bandit gear. They were called bulblins. The bulblin seemed to be armed with some kind of club. He was far away, but that didn't mean that it wasn't a bad idea to get it mad."Midna, don't!" He quickly exclaimed, but before he could even finish what he was saying, she already launched the pebble right at it. "Hide!" he quickly said as he ducked down, and lay prone on the ground.

Midna stayed up long enough to see the pebble strike the bulblin's butt. She then immediately ducked down besides Link as they both heard a girly squeal from the bulblin. There was a moment of silence between Link and Midna as they looked at each other. Both of them almost laughed at the girly squeal that came from an otherwise quite scary creature.

The bulblin quickly looked behind himself, looking all around, but he could see no one. Feeling confused and slightly embarrassed, the bulblin walked away, not wanting another unpleasant surprise.

Link eventually sat up, looking around to see if the bulblin was still there. He let out a sigh of relief when he noticed that the bulblin must've moved on. He then looked to Midna, who then let out a brief giggle. "That could've backfired on us," Link scolded her.

"Come on, that was funny! I saw you smile," Midna replied with an impish smile.

Link's faint smile quickly grew wider. "Okay, it was funny. But still, warn me next time," he said to her as he looked into her pretty eyes. He had to admit, her unique eyes were really quite beautiful. He knew that he probably shouldn't think that, but he couldn't help it. He quickly averted his gaze as soon as he realized he was staring into them a little too long. "We should probably get going. It gets dangerous out here, especially at night."

Midna could've sworn that Link was blushing, but she didn't think too much of it. After all, she didn't believe anyone could find her attractive. "Alright, but we're doing something fun tomorrow too," she told him before then holding out his slingshot for him to take back.

"Why don't you keep the slingshot? I don't use it all that much anymore anyway." Link smiled, seeing a big happy grin on her face once more.

"Really? Hehe, you might regret giving it to me!" she warned him.

"I am more worried about that thing that you can do with your hair," Link honestly told her as he began walking back to castle town.

The next week...

Midna slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. It was the middle of the night, and these dreams were keeping her up. They weren't normal dreams, they were more like memories. She looked over to Link, her mind racing a little bit. She knew there was something familiar about him the day she met him, even though she knew that she couldn't have possibly have met him before. She felt so confused. If she had never met him before, then why did she feel like she could trust him so much? These dreams only started up after she met the hylian, Link. She had no idea why she was dreaming of places she had never been to, or people she had never seen before. The biggest question on her mind however was, why is Link in all of them? This person she hadn't even met until over a week ago was in nearly all her most recent dreams. She didn't know why. Quietly, she floated out of her bed, and just sat on the edge of it. She felt like there was something she was forgetting. It was that same feeling that people get when they know they don't have something important, but can't remember what it is. She tried thinking, searching her own mind, but she just couldn't figure it out.
