Prologue: What happened in Neko and the Twilight Princess
It was Stephanie Faletto's 15th birthday! Her father, Paul, had reserved a copy of Zelda and the Twilight Princess, which had been delayed at least 2 times. She was as ready as she could ever be for it.
Her father drove her to Gamestop, the video game selling store, and she was indeed, very excited that it was hers at last. They bought the game and began heading home, while she "drank" in the Walkthrough Guide they had bought with the game. As soon as she gets home, she runs to her room, and being the clutz she is, runs into the door and blacks out for a few seconds. She quickly disregards her parent's exasperated concern and walks in her room to put the game inside the Gamcube consul.
She, melodramatically taken, was "mesmerized" by the wonderful graphics. And instead of naming Link, "Link," She names him Yoshimi (a while ago, her brother helped her beat Windwaker, and he had named Link, Yoshimi. That's why she named him that.) However, when she gets to the part where Yoshimi arrives at the wall of twilight (Ilia and Collin just got kidnapped), the game freezes!!
Poor Steph, she completely forgot to save her progress after starting it, and now she has to start all over.
She walked over to her game consul glumly, and almost presses the restart button, when something on the screen catches her eye. Strange words were scrolling on the bottom of her screen, and she leans in closer to get a better glance. She instantly is sucked into the TV.
Author Side Note: I know you must be thinking, how cliché, getting sucked into a video game, you probably have seen that before in other stories, but I assure you, this is different. End of Side note.
She opens her eyes to see she is outside Ordon village. After pocketing a blue rupee, she is wondering which part of the game she is. She had memorized the entire guide book in the car. Ilia runs past her and towards the Ordon Spring, and Yoshimi comes soon after. She follows him and hears the crash of the King Bulbin and his warriors kidnapping Ilia and Collin. She doesn't get there yet, and the scene freezes. One of her muses, Matt, appears to talk to her. He explains what's going on, revealing that he can read her mind.
He doesn't explain everything though, some things she has to figure out on her own. The scene unfreezes, and she runs after Yoshimi. She chases after him, and they reach the wall of twilight. She realizes this is when her game froze, and gets excited when the scene progressed further. Yoshimi gets grabbed into the Twilight, and she gets transported there as well. She witnesses Yoshimi transform into a wolf, and sees the imp-like creature named Midna.
The scene changes again, and she follows Yoshimi and Midna through a sewer. Midna makes Yoshimi her "slave" and constantly teases him. Midna, besides getting on Yoshimi's nerves, got on her nerves as well.
Nobody seemed to see Stephanie, but throughout the entire time, Steph thinks she sees Midna watching her. Yoshimi is forced to find a way past the metal bars by Midna, who was waiting on the other side. Stephanie looks at Midna and sees her watching her for sure this time. She communicates with Midna with deep irritation, and the imp laughs at her. She demands to know where they are going, but Midna just shrugs that off, saying she will find out soon enough.
Stephanie also wonders why Yoshimi and the monsters can't see her, and finds out that she is a spirit, but temporarily. Yoshimi finds his way to Midna (and Steph), and they continue on.
They get to the rooftops, and Yoshimi/Stephanie sees that they are in, or rather on top of, Hyrule Castle. Steph magically gets transported to the tower window, where Midna had pointed out they were going towards. Yoshimi and Midna appear, and they go see Zelda.
In Zelda's room, Zelda also seems to see Stephanie, and makes her visible much to the surprise of Yoshimi. They find out what happened, to turn the are to twilight. Zelda puts a spell on Stephanie, and she goes to sleep.
Stephanie wakes up in a comfortable bed, without a memory of what happened. She has a new identity, looks, age, and life. Her new name is Ayumi Yamashita, and she is a native Ordoner who craves an adventure outside of Ordon. She helps Fado put away the cattle, and goes home. Yoshimi comes along, and she begs to go with him on his adventures, but he says no. It seems, she has been doing that for a while, whenever he comes to town. The kids are gone (kidnapped) and she longs to go help save them. After Yoshimi leaves, she runs away from Ordon.
She sees the guy with the bird nest in his hair, and receives some flattery and a free oil lamp. She continues outside of Hyrule and gets stopped by Rusl. He gives her a sword and shield (she was stupid enough to forget that she would need one in the outside world) and continues. Along the way, she runs into Yoshimi who is very irritated that she managed to escape.
She wakes up in the middle of the night, and overhears him talking to Midna. She gets the idea of what he's been doing and goes back to sleep. In her sleep, she has flashbacks of what really happened in her other life, but she is still unaware that she had one. She forgets about them in the morning.
They get to Kakariko and when she was supposed to stay there, Ayumi follows Yoshimi for several days, making sure he doesn't see her. They get to the wall of Twilight, and she is magically pulled in again. She sees Yoshimi as a wolf, and Midna on his back. She gets another flashback of looking at her in the sewer.
Yoshimi gets very irritated (yet again) at Ayumi, and Midna puts her to sleep. She has multiple dreams of "Stephanie's life" and gets hurt. She wakes up in Kakariko Inn and realizes that she was dreaming of getting hurt, with yet again no memory of her dreams.
She sees Ilia and learns that her memory is gone. After talking to Ilia and Renado (the shaman) she goes to the graveyard and meets Ralis. She helps him overcome his fear of being in power and failing his people.
His mother appears, as the scene freezes again, and Ayumi finds out that she has an innate power. They go to the Inn together in high spirits. The next morning, Yoshimi wakes her up with breakfast and she remembers that it's her 18th birthday. They go downstairs and mingle. Suddenly they are all attacked by Shadow Creatures.
Yoshimi grabs her and they make a run for it.
