"Is the STAR game open yet?"
"No, not yet. But I heard that the host is really dreamy!"
"What are we waiting for then? Let's go!" a group of girls were loudly chattering in the alley way outside of Agitha's castle, and it was from the excess noise that Agitha gave off another stressed sigh. The streets of Castle Town were always bustling with noise from travelling adventurers and from the stalls of merchants parked so close to her castle. Now with this new STAR attraction opening in town, it looks like she wouldn't be getting the proper rest a princess should and this self-proclaimed princess would need her sleep. Her long anticipated event, The Golden Ball, was drawing closer and closer. However, she had one problem.
Agitha paced back and forth. "Oh dear," she quietly repeated to herself over and over again. What was she to do? There was so little time remaining and even it was running out quickly. She plopped herself down on her small sofa and let another sigh out. "At this rate, I'll have to postpone... Even cancelling could happen." she muttered, looking at the large tree that took up the majority of her quaint little castle. She could have let go of her royal reserves and cried her eyes out like most ten year olds normally do when something doesn't go their way but Agitha was a princess, however, and she had to keep her manners. Even though her tolerance for tardy guests was becoming thin. She went back to pacing. Maybe in a while, she would go to the field and search in the flowerbeds near the fountain once more. Agitha was worried and impatient for her guests to arrive, all 24 of them. Another sigh. She returned to the couch. "If only there was some way to get them all here on time," Agitha whispered, cupping her hands with her face.
A knock on the door startled Agitha, causing her to spring up and brush off the front of her dress in a hurried door opened. She was not expecting an audience today. In stepped a tall young man clad in green. The young man looked around bewildered, mainly being fixated on the tree that was in front of him. Agitha was staring at him with almost as much enchantment. The stranger noticed the small princess and began to walk over to her. When he walked, it was a bouncy walk. With the green outfit and bouncy walk, he reminded Agitha of... "Oh my! For a second, I had mistaken you for a giant grasshopper!" Agitha smiled and giggled. She quickly corrected herself. "Ah! But where are my formalities? You stand before the Princess of the bug kingdom. Agitha is my name. What is yours?" the stranger returned her smile and replied with his name, Link. "Link.. What a nice name," She smiled. Link continued to smile and then asked Agitha is she knew that a boy was peeping into her window. Agitha looked past him and gasped, "Not again." Link added that he was passing through Castle Town and saw him, so he thought that she should know. "Well, aren't you kind. Thank you," Agitha said. Link nodded, thanked her for her time, and then turned to leave.
It was then that Agitha remembered that Link had mentioned that he was passing through. Link was going to leave. Then it hit her. Maybe, just maybe, Link could... She quickly grabbed his sleeve. "Please wait!" He stopped and turned. "Ah, that was unladylike. Excuse my abruptness, but may I ask a favour?" Link nodded. "I'm hosting a Golden Ball and the date is coming up quickly, but all 24 golden bug guests haven't arrived. I believe that they've gotten lost... So, if ever on your travels you spot a golden bug, could you pretty please bring it here?" Agitha was taking that knock on the door as a sign of fate that Link would help her plight. Link blinked a few times, then put a hand on her head. He smiled and accepted her request for help. She smiled wide and thanked him graciously. Link then said to wait a second. He reached in his pocket and fished something out. He asked if one of her guests looked something like this. He opened his hand and there was a golden ant. Agitha was beaming, "Ahh! Link, that's it! That's it!" she picked him out of his hand and let him crawl around in her tiny palm. "What a cutie lil ant!" she stepped forward and placed her first arrived guest on her tree. "Thank you so very much Link!" she looked at him. Agitha would have hugged him, but they had only just met. "Please let me give you a gift on behalf of the bug kingdom!" Agitha said, reaching into her basket. Link began telling her how it was no problem and he'd be happy to do it 23 more times. "Oh nonsense! I would be honored to reward your efforts for helping make my ball a success." she found a reward suitable to how happy he was. The Adult Wallet. "This is for you! Let me share this happiness with you!" Agitha put the large wallet in his hands and his eyes lit up. He put the wallet in one of the bags on his belt, appreciation flying out of his mouth. "Only 23 bugs left until all my guest are here. Is it possible for you to find a partner for this lil guy? They usually stay in pairs," Agitha smiled, her cheeks flushed with schoolgirl delight. Link smiled, patted her head, and then told her that he would be back eventually with more guests for her. Link went to the door. "I'll see you soon, Link!" Agitha called. He waved and shut the door behind him. Agitha was waving too and then lowered her hand. She was brimming with happiness. She looked at her golden guest. Agitha couldn't wait for Link's next visit. She blushed with the excitement that her Golden Ball wasn't going to be cancelled or postponed like she had thought would be reality.
