Syaoran fell to the ground as if in a dream, and landed beside Sakura with a dull thud. He opened his eyes a crack and peered at her in confusion. "Sakura... loves... me?"
Sakura stared at him as her eyes filled with tears. If there was any time to tell him, it was now. She'd been held captive by these Moblins for hours, but it wasn't the pain or the boredom or even the despair that got to her. It was the last thing she'd said to Syaoran, the way she'd acted when he confessed... it wasn't how she really felt. She'd missed him. And now, her eyes welling up, she leaned into his face.
"I love you, Syaoran."
Syaoran and Link had their swords. Clow had his Cards. Kero could spout fire from his mouth, and monsters could attack whoever they pleased. But compared to those three words, whispered by Sakura to Syaoran's star-struck ear, nothing could have been any stronger.

Watching the scene, Link felt a sudden urge to do something nice for Malon. He made a mental note to do that once they got back to the village. Link's plan however, fell through as he found that he had already warped back to the village. "Malon!"
"Link! I was just--" Malon was cut off as she found herself being hugged tightly by the hero.
"I love you Malon."
"I love you to Link but-"
"Shh, it's Valentines Day." Before Malon had time to respond, Link was kissing her. When He finally pulled away, he explained the chain of events that had led up to the current moment. Malon's face lit up.
"So it finally worked?"
"Yep, and to think that it couldn't have happened without Moblins and therefore by extension, without Ganondorf." Link burst out laughing and Malon joined in soon after. The day had gone quite well, in Link's opinion.

Syaoran smiled. "I know," he said happily.
The two sat together for a few minutes in silence, just enjoying the fact that they both shared the same feeling. Tomoyo ecstatically filmed them from the side, while Meilin sighed impatiently every few seconds. But Sakura and Syaoran were too overjoyed to hear.

Link suddenly smacked his forehead. "Everyone else is still at the field." he moaned.
"Well' let's go then silly."
"Right, I knew that." Malon giggled as Link warped them both to the field.

Syaoran and Sakura looked up for the first time as Link and Malon arrived. Syaoran gently held Sakura's hand as the two stood up to join them. Meilin cheered that something was finally happening, but Tomoyo elbowed her before she could say a word. Meilin glared at Tomoyo, and then both girls laughed, Tomoyo looking slightly flustered.
Sakura gave her love's hand a squeeze. Syaoran took a deep breath and addressed Link clearly. It was now or never. He used Link's little nickname as always, but now there was more affection than insult in his tone.
"So, are we ready for battle, Tourguide?"

Link grinned. "Pretty much, we just need to send messengers to the Gorons, Zoras and Gerudo. They're already prepared, they just need our signal. We've sent Hyrule's very own Marathon Man, the fastest man in Hyrule, to deliver the messages. We attack the day after tomorrow."

Syaoran smiled. "I'm glad."
"We'll give those jerkos what they deserve!" cried Meilin triumphantly. She held her sword straight up in the air. "We'll punch their faces in and slap them in the places that hurt and..."
Tomoyo swiveled her camera towards Meilin. Now that Sakura was officially together with Syaoran, the two would probably be spending a lot of time together alone. Her camera needed a new subject. Maybe Meilin could oblige?

The next day came and went, Link paced around, Malon secretly trained to the point where Zelda said she was ready, everyone else went about their business. Night fell, morning arrived. Link got out of bed. "This is it." he said to no one in particular. He walked over to Malon who was sleeping, and gently kissed her. "I'll come back, I promise." Link geared up, and walked outside. Malon opened her eyes. She had been awake the whole time. "I know you'll come back, I'll make sure of it." She got up and put on her Shekiah battle suit, grabbed the Great Fairy's Sword and the Mirror Shield, and walked outside as well.

For the two days leading up to the battle, Sakura and Syaoran spent every moment possible together. It didn't much matter what they were doing as long as they had each other's company. Tomoyo, for once, decided to give Sakura some space, and turned her camera to Meilin. Meilin decidedly loved every minute of it, unlike Sakura, who protested loudly every time Tomoyo insisted on filming. Tomoyo and Meilin had soon become quite close friends. They spent every moment together as well, for after the battle, though no one would say it aloud, who knew who would come back alive?
~*~
Sakura awoke early and tiptoed down the hallway to the boys' room, but when she knocked, she found that Syaoran had been up even earlier. "Good morning, Sakura," he said softly, so as not to disturb the sleeping Yamazaki. "Today's the big day."
Sakura nodded. "Hai, Syaoran. Do you think it'll go okay?"
Syaoran smiled and took his girl in his arms. "Don't worry, love, it'll be fine."
Sakura wanted to believe him.

"People of Hyrule!" Rusl shouted. "Now is our hour! Now, we show Ganon that we are not a force ta be taken lightly!" A cheer went up through the crowd of many species and races. "Now, who's ready to fight for our freedom?" Another cheer, louder than the first. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's march!" The army marched out of the field, every member ready for the fight of their lives. Meanwhile, Link and his group were discussing their battle strategy. Malon was hidden behind a rock, listening. "Anyone who goes inside the castle gate will be part of the fight, since Ganon will trap us there until we defeat him and Majora. so don't go in if you don't want to." Link said. Perfect. Thought Malon, All I have to do is get inside the gate, and Link won't be able to make me leave.

Sakura looked out at the troops until she saw one that made her jump with surprise. Her Oniichan, Toya, was marching along with them as if he'd been a Hylian soldier all his life. A sweatdrop rested on her head. This was weird. "Hoeeee..."
"Are you looking at Toya, Sakura-chan?"
"Hoe?!" Sakura turned to see Yukito smiling at her. She frowned. "Y-Yukito-san... shouldn't you be with the civilians doing medical work?"
Yukito shook his head. "Well, during a magical battle, I think both of your guardians should be there to protect you, Sakura-chan," he explained.
"H-huh?!" Sakura was deeply confused. How did Yukito know about...?
"I told 'im." Kero flew over and landed on his shoulder. "I thought Yue would be good to have around in a battle, 'sides, he's been ta Hyrule before so he knows the place better 'n any of us do."
"I hope that's okay, Sakura-chan," Yukito said gently.
Sakura smiled. She really did love Yukito, as a big brother alongside Toya. Having him fight with her would give her courage. "Hai!"

The group had decided that they would use the hidden escape route to get into Castle Town. Link, Kero and Yue would go in first, clearing out any major enemies like Darknuts or Iron Knuckles. Sakura and Syaoran would go in next to help with any Tekties or Skultullas. Finall, Zelda (as sheik of course) would escort Meilin and Tomoyo inside, ready to teleport them to a relatively safe place if need be. And I'll go in last, 3 seconds after Zelda. thought Malon. "Let's get moving then." Link's voice was serious, but not grave. The group moved thought the passage with caution, Malon keeping a safe distance. The plan worked perfectly, and nobody noticed that Malon had entered the market. That is, until the Mirror Shield reflected Light into Link's face. He turned around and froze. "Malon? What are you doin here? How did you get the Great Fairy's Sword?"
"I've been training with Zelda for a while now. Did you really think I would just let you go in here?" Link thought for a long moment.
"No, no I didn't. I didn't expect this though." Link sighed deeply. "But you can't leave, so I guess you're coming with us, but if you ever pull a stunt like this again..." Link paused. He hadn't actually thought of an "or else" clause yet.
"What do you say we discuss this after the wedding?" Link looked at her quizzically.
"What wedding? I'm not following your logi-" Link stopped speaking for a moment, his face going from surprised to embarrassed to eventually, amused. "How can you possibly be so casual?" He asked, a slight chuckle in his voice. Malon, who had been counting on Link being unable to speak, simply stood and stared. "Do you want me to ask you later, or should I just say yes?" asked Link, his voice still betraying amusement.

((d'aww))
Sakura watched the two of them with a grin. "I knew it! I knew there was something between Link-san and Malon-san! Aww, they're such a cute couple!"
Syaoran smiled. Even though he had only recently gotten over his suspicions about Link, he couldn't help feeling happy for the tourguide. "Yeah..."
Meilin seemed the only grumpy one. Her face flushed and she looked down. "I guess I shoulda realized," she muttered. "No one as cute as Link could be single this late in life."
Tomoyo looked at her, surprised. "H-huh, Meilin-chan?"
"Link-san's getting married," Meilin huffed. "I kind of thought that since Syaoran didn't like me anymore, the two of us could get together, Link-san and I!"
Tomoyo flushed and looked away. "Oh." This morning, Sakura, Syaoran, and Meilin were all wearing matching costumes of pink, green, and red, that Tomoyo had taken the last two days to meticulously create. Meilin had insisted on helping with Sakura's and Syaoran's, but Tomoyo kept Meilin's a surprise and sewed it all herself. Meilin looked great in it. She was almost more photogenic than Sakura...

Malon shook off her surprise and ran foreword in an attempt to tackle/hug Link. Fortunately for Link he was expecting this, and managed to catch his.. fianceƩ? Or was it still unofficial? It didn't matter though, as long as they were both happy. "Now I have an even better reason to get out of this place alive." Link's voice was joking, but he meant every word.
"Yes, you do, and I'm holding you to that promise Mr. Hero." Link laughed, but it was short lived.
"Ganon knows we're here. We have to move now, we may not get another chance as good as his one." Link led the band of heroes and heroines towards the castle.

As they approached the castle, Meilin let out a little noise that could probably be perceived as a screech. Syaoran sighed and pressed on. Sakura looked just a tiny bit worried. Tomoyo, however, took Meilin's hand. "What's wrong, Meilin-chan?"
"T-t-t-the castle," said Meilin shakily. "It's so, so..."
"It is kind of scary-looking," Tomoyo said thoughtfully.
Meilin blushed. "N-no, that's not what I meant at all!" She whipped her hand out of Tomoyo's and crossed her arms. "I'm not scared of anything!"
Tomoyo smiled. "Right."
