The Twilight Princess 2: The Time Forgotten

One

A bright light boomed on, and fell down her face and neck. She couldn't see much because of the brightness of the light, but she could manage to see the silhouettes of two people wearing lab coats. They appeared to be talking to each other about something, but she couldn't quite make out what. The one on the right nodded, and exited from view. The other one, though, made his way closer to her. He leaned over her as she laid ever so still in the chair. "Aria," he said. "Aria. Wake up."

Her eyes fluttered open, to see Zoey hovering over her. "Wake up." Aria sat up, and realized that she was laying in her own bed. She sighed with relief. It had just been a dream. "Are you okay?" Zoey asked worryingly. "Yeah I'm fine. Guess I just had a bad dream." This time, Zoey was the one to sigh with relief. "That's good. I saw you tossing and turning while mumbling something, so I was starting to get a bit worried."

Zoey started to leave the room, then stopped in the doorway. "Oh, and Ro is about to leave, so you should probably go say bye to her while you still can." Aria stood up, stretched, and followed her downstairs.

Ro, now 19, was about to go off to college. Ever since the Twilight Princess was defeated, a lot of rebuilding had been going on around the kingdom of Zerelelia. Civilians had built schools, offices, shops, and so much more that hadn't been there before. This was because, while everyone was under her rule, the Twilight Princess wouldn't allow it.

Marie, Aria and Ro's mom, almost started to tear up. "Oh sweetie, you're all grown up! Please learn a lot, and have fun!" Their dad, John, winked. "But don't have too much fun." Ro scooped up her bags. "Don't worry guys, I'll be fine. I mean, I'm practically an adult now."

"That's what I'm afraid of," John sighed. He kissed his eldest daughter goodbye. His wife gave her a great big hug, and didn't find it so easy to let go. Aria pushed her way through her clingy parents.

The two sisters stepped away from their parents. "Can't believe my big sis is going off to college," Aria said. "Yeah, especially since up until now there have been no colleges," Ro joked. They both laughed. "Well, I guess this is goodbye, for now," Aria told her.

"Yeah, I guess this is."

They shook hands, and before Aria knew it, she was out the door. "Bye honey! We'll miss you!" Her mom cried from the door way. Her husband led her back into the cabin. "She's going to be okay Marie." He turned to Aria and Zoey. "Plus, we still have these two." Marie turned to them. "Don't you two ever grow up." She gave them a big hug.

After her parents turned their attention to something else, Aria turned to Zoey. "So, how's Kai? It's seemed like forever since I've seen him." The two hadn't seen him since the ball after they defeated the Twilight Princess, which was nearly two years ago now.

Zoey shrugged. "I haven't heard from him much either. I think he's been really busy helping the Evans family." Aria's eyes glowed. "I know! Why don't we go visit him?" Zoey's gaze fell upon Aria's parents. Her mom was washing the dishes, and her dad had sat down to read the newspaper. "Are you sure your parents would allow it?"

Aria smiled mischievously. "I think so."

Kai folded each blanket carefully and neatly, and added each one on top of the current stack in front of him. As he folded, a blurred girl popped her head up next to the stack. Not noticing her, Kai kept on folding. "Can I help?" She squealed. Kai turned his gaze to her. "Shouldn't you be helping your mom in the kitchen, Winter?"

"But I want to help you! Cooking is so boring."

"So is folding."

Winter lowered her voice. "I don't mean the folding." Kai stopped and looked her in the eye. Her shoulder length reddish brown hair was wavy at the ends and barely touched her shoulders. Her oval eyes glinted something...adventure. Her round face was flushed with freckles, and she had rosy cheeks.
