Summary: Awoken in a dark forest as a ten year old, Vivian realized something was seriously wrong when her surroundings became sickeningly familiar. Why was she in a world that already had a fixed destiny? To screw it up? Well if life is a game, why not just play?

A/N: I never attempted a Zelda fanfic before but I'm a huge fan of the series! The fact I got the 3DS and Ocarina of Time 3D kinda helped inspire me to actually start writing a fanfic about it. Anyway, my OC is not related to me at all. Trust me, I was a pretty scary looking kid in comparison to Vivian! I'm debating on whether to make this rating go up in the future (The adult years certainly won't be for kiddies) or to make a separate fanfic out of it~

Disclaimer: I don't own the Legend of Zelda because it was created by the gods known to work in Nintendo. I do own Vivian! :D

"How many roads must a man walk down before he admits he's lost?"

- Unknown

Deku Shrubs were rather cowardly creatures. Although they appeared to be rough and aggressive at first glance, the second they were parted from their floral burrows they'd squeal and shrivel in fear of a steel blade coming to bring justice upon them.

Alone, they were more of a fly you wanted to swat away than an enemy but in groups? They were like that huge biker gang driving down your street with chainsaws that your mom closes the curtains on. Deku Shrub tribes were rather vicious little things, similar to school bullies if anything and showed absolutely no mercy to their 'helpless' victims.

The young wanderer already knew this; what person in Hyrule didn't? But that didn't stop her from shrieking like an alley cat and fleeing the scene of her feeble crime with dust scattering behind her.

You see, this young lady had never encountered a Deku Shrub before. A myth, a fluke, a story, that's what they were to her! Therefore it wasn't all that surprising when she lost all the color in her cherubic face after waking up to seeing a living, breathing bush with eyes squeak as it prodded her unconscious form with a stick. Could you really blame her for screaming out profanities in the little munchkin's face?

Of course the poor thing didn't take that too well either. It ended up scaring the both of them more than it should of. I mean, why else would it run off and then return with a fleet of angered steps and battle cries accompanying it? The girl didn't have a shred of sanity left to react calmly by the time the Shrub came back with its little splinter squad. It was fight or flight and this kid preferred not to be stoned to death. Weaponless and spineless, the child barely managed to keep oxygen flowing through her lungs as she was chased around a giant maze of overgrown hedges with no direct route out.

Large, thick Deku Nuts flew at her like bullets and she was amazed that she somehow managed to dodge them all without losing the will to run on! The child's feet ached from the restrictiveness of her shiny black shoes. The white tights on her legs ripped in to several holes as she stumbled. Her heels and toes were now adorned with blisters and her legs were covered with pin pricks from stinging nettles, thorny vines and prickly leaves.

She was a good runner as far as escaping was concerned but she wasn't used to such haste! It wasn't like she had to sprint away from monsters every day of her life! The most running she had to do was dashing for a taunting bus which just so happened to speed past her range of casual pace. Even then, at least she had decent shoes and socks on!

Just how long was the maze anyways? Surely she had been zooming through several twisted, sharp corners for at least eight minutes now? The Deku Shrubs were falling behind but their little pips and cries were still in ear shot. Unsurprisingly, she passed more Deku Shrubs on the way but they didn't attack her or show any interest in her. All they did was squawk and shriek in all their high pitched glory before burrowing back in to their flower bed homes.

Something told her they were giving the other pursuing shrubs directions but her mind couldn't be bothered to dwell on it. There were a few comical moments during the Shrubs pursuit of the intruder, such as finding safety only to step on a very mortified Mad Shrub seedling (None of you will ever realize how high pitched those wailing things were. It might as well have been hyper sound,) darting one direction and then twisting her heels in an almost dangerous stretch to run the opposite way, or even skipping directly in front of their line of sight without realizing it.

While these things could be amusing in story telling, it merely taunted the Shrubs into infuriation and made the girl even more exhausted. In a final attempt to free herself from those awful monsters, the girl zoomed for all she was worth down the narrow passage ways, using her arms to project herself further forward when her body was flung in to hedge corners from speed. Eventually, the squeaks became distant—almost to a point of blending in with the other forest noises—but they weren't gone. Panting and wheezing, the girl slowed her run to a gentle jog and eventually clung on to one of the towering hedges for support.

You'd think that she'd at least try to run on a little further to find a decent hiding spot; you know, preserve her life for as long as possible instead of just giving up and waiting for fate to come to her in the form of a platoon of vengeful shrubs. But no, she regained her breath slowly and calmly. Her bright grey eyes searched around the forest for any signs of immediate danger. Eventually her gaze wandered vertically to look up above her but just as she did that, her pink lips tugged in to a half frown/smile which contrasted greatly with the slight awkwardly-raised twitch of her eyebrows.

A girl perhaps aged ten or eleven was peering down at her from on top of the colossal wall of forest green leaves she slumped against. She had very striking bright green hair which curled slightly inwards to her face behind her very visible pointed ears. Her eyes were a very bright shade of sky blue and almond shaped. These features were shocking to the intruder, but what was even more shocking was the little pink orb floating loyally by the green girl's head. The fairy girl was very aware of the speechless spark in the new girl's eyes so she stared back in a friendly manner. A squeaky voice that came from the floating orb squealed,

"Saria! She's a Hylian! Isn't that strange?" At this, the girl below blinked and her hands flew to her head to touch her ears. Her eyes widened, a faint gasp escaped her as her hands now went from prodding the long pointed ears to covering them. Saria wondered why— it was almost as though she were self conscious about them. Weird. Tilting her head to the side, the Fairy girl noticed how hamster-like the child's cheeks were. They had a surprising cute charm to them.

"Yes, it is. She has very strange clothes too." The forest girl's voice was quite loud but it sounded whimsical, pleasant even. Saria may have been talking to her fairy, but the girl kept her kind eyes on the Hylian below her. However, the child seemed to want her own share in their conversation.

"You," she pointed at Saria, though it didn't seem as rude as the girl probably intended, "You have very bright green hair, and you-" she shifted the angle her small finger 20 degrees to the pink orb "are a little ball of light that can talk. You two are the strange ones." came her retort, mimicking the same whimsical tone that 'Saria' used earlier except mixed with heavy sarcasm. Saria just shrugged, her playful smile constant on her beaming face.

Yes, this girl had to of been one of the Kokiri children. All the little things about her made her so easy to identify that the lost girl felt a pool of giddiness boil in her tummy. The entire ordeal of being greeted by an old folk tale should have been far more exciting but now was not the time to squeal in delight at actually meeting one. The green haired, blue eyed Kokiri shot a curious smile down to the child below, but before she could inquire as to what that girl could have possibly done to irritate a entire swarm of Mad Shrubs into chasing her, she was cut off when the said girl croakily began to speak.

"You wouldn't by any chance be one of Kokiri right?"

Saria and her fairy exchanged a glance and she grinned. "What's your name?" Although she saw no relevance to her question, the lost girl decided to answer the Kokiri none the less.

"Vivian"

Saria again exchanged a look with her fairy, this time her surprisingly natural dark green eyebrows were slightly raised.

"That's a weird name. You must be from outside the forest" she mused, now laying flat on her front with her head resting on her folded arms. The girl looked shyly at her for a moment. If anything Saria thought she should've looked more confused; and she wouldn't have blamed her. Even for Kokiri children it was quite easy to get lost in the woods if you didn't know your way around.

"Yeah, I don't actually know how I got here...I sort of got woken up by the Shrubs...think you could show me the way out?" the girl, now revealed to be Vivian, pleaded. With a bright smile Saria nodded her head vigorously, calling out 'Sure!' before disappearing from sight completely along with her fairy. Vivian just stared at the spot Saria had been in with a look of utter defeat. She leaned back against the hedges and eventually slid her way down to the forest floor. Pulling her knee's to her chest, Vivian examined her dress and bleeding legs with an expression of minor distress. She wanted to take off her appallingly constricting shoes too but she was too worried about stepping on something and hurting her feet more.

"Ugh...I want to go home..." Vivian groaned feebly as she poked her smooth, slender, child-length legs. She buried her face in her knees, mumbling to herself incoherently.

"You know what Viv? Don't panic. You're lucidly dreaming. You haven't been this skinny in years...Be happy you can fit in this...Better yet, how am I actually wearing this? Wasn't I ten when Lisa got marri—Ack!"

Vivian's monologue ended abruptly when a thick, creaky ladder slammed down a few inches away from her head, causing her to practically leap away from it. Reflexively looking up, Vivian saw Saria standing on the hedge grinning and looking pleased with herself.

"Come on! Climb up before the Shrubs show up!"

As much as Vivian was already aware that Saria was just teasing, the mere mention of the little critters had Vivian jump up on her feet and scramble as quickly as she could up the ladder. Saria giggled as Vivian practically leaped and sprawled out face down on the hedge as though embracing it. Deciding to put the ladder back, Saria picked it up again with her fairy trying to help, and dragged it along the paths until she put it back in it's original place (which was a secluded section of the maze with four walls and a huge hole in the ground. Not that Vivian could see of course, she was too busy being a hedge hugger,)

"Come on lazy bones, get up!" Saria now stood over Vivian with her hands on her hips, leaning her face forward to shout in her ear if needed. Groaning, Vivian slowly turned her head from top of the hedge to face Saria, grinning sheepishly. The fairy by Saria's side zoomed right to her face, almost blinding the girl in her bright pink glow.

"Hurry up! We're going to take you to the fountain before we show you the village, ok?"

Village? I'm going to get taken to the village? YES!

Once the fairy had finished bouncing around in Vivian's excited face she sped after Saria who was slowly making her way to the fountain. Rubbing her sore eyes from the blinding flash of colour, Vivian got to her feet and quickly limped after her. Now that she had started walking again her feet hurt even more! Her toes must have been swollen from the previous marathon in those stupid shoes. Saria looked over her shoulder and saw that Vivian was having difficulty so she smiled, took her hand gently in hers and assured her the fountain wasn't far at all.

"If anyone told me I was going to spend my day holding hands with one of the Kokiri, I'd have called them crazy." Vivian thought out loud, flashing a wincing smile with every step she took. Saria just giggled.

"Is it that unusual to be seen with one of us? But I guess it's very unexpected to see a Hylian girl around here." Stopping by the wooden ladder that she just put back, she motioned for Vivian to go down it first. Cautiously she did and once the two were down they stood on opposite sides of a remarkably huge hole in the ground. Vivian peered down it curiously but the Kokiri noted she seemed a bit nervous about jumping into the gigantic mass of darkness below.

"So do we just...jump down?" she swallowed thickly. Saria, out of politeness tried not to laugh at her unnecessary worry.

"Well you can, but the impact might hurt your feet more. Just try slipping down." she suggested. Taking her advice, Vivian sat down on the ground and let her legs dangle from the edge of the enterance. Whatever drop of confidence she had left appeared to fall from her face as she realized she underestimated the depth of the pit. She squeezed her eyes shut, boldly clutched the edge of the hole's circumference and braced herself for the unfortunate scenario involving her face-planting to the ground and getting a broken nose. Except when she did let go of the grass...she didn't feel the bones in her leg crunch or any soreness in her feet. She fell didn't she? Vivian felt the fall and the rush of wind temporarily float through her dead straight hair but if anything, she felt something under her knee and on her back.

"You can open your eyes princess." Saria's voice cooed. Face flushing crimson, Vivian realized that while she was stalling above the pit, Saria had already jumped down and had just caught her in her expecting arms.

"Thanks"

Saria smiled brightly as she began to walk. "You're welcome"

"...Aren't I heavy?" Vivian said meekly, as though pointing out a commonly known fact. Saria shook her head and continued walking down a corridor illuminated by an eerie blue light. Curiosity made Vivian look back over hers and Saria's shoulder but she didn't mention what she was looking for or if she saw it.

"You're quite strong Saria." Vivian whispered bashfully. She must have been strong, seeing as Saria was still carrying her without complaining or looking pained. Vivian oddly assumed Saria would be quite strong anyway. She was quite pretty for a Kokiri girl but had an air of being able to take care of herself as well. Saria thanked her cheerily, making Vivian feel like she should start talking about something else to revive their rapidly dying small talk but Saria beat her to it.

"All my friends in the Kokiri Forest love play fighting. Most of the girls like being the princess so we're quick to get into our roles when the boys want to join us, but sometimes we don't want to play with the boys. They're too wrapped up in killing each other or distracted by some 'monster'" she chuckled. "Why do you think you're heavy anyway? You're really light you know."

Vivian beamed at her words as though Saria just told her the deepest of compliments. Saria wondered why at first, but maybe the little Hylian was just excited that there were other Kokiri. After turning around the corner, Saria watched as Vivian's anxious expression turned to one of awe. Her eyes widened and shone radiantly with the metallic aqua glow reflecting upon her grey irises and her jaw slacked as she took in the sights around her. Saria sighed contently beside her.

"Pretty isn't it?"

Pretty was also an understatement. The fountain had a sense of antiquity to it. The foundations were creamy silver pillars that held a conservative like structure with little statues of women with wings at the top of each one. The surrounding walls was dark and ancient looking with (what looked like) a curtain of water droplets pattering down to the ground. Yet, they fountain looked like it just finished being constructed. It was exquisite! The pool itself emitted a beautiful, light aqua glow from pure, clear water that slushed around in faint ripples. It was amazing—but the fairies were even better! There must have been fifteen at least, but so many stunning, luminiscent, rosette orbs glided around the fountain, their wings fluttering softly with a beat that reminded Vivian of wind chimes.

"Wow..." was all she could manage for lack of a better word.

Saria had started walking forward again, her muddy boots stepping on to a shockingly clean white pavement. They made no stain but Vivian's eyes were fixed on the inviting pool of water. The fountain fairies didn't have voices, or rather they weren't supposed to according to Vivian's knowledge, but she could have sworn she heard several sweet little cries of 'Saria!' echoing across the room as the fairies twirled around both of them excitedly. Saria brightly greeted each fairy with a chirpy hello. Even Saria's fairy (Who was only a teeny bit darker than the other fairies) happily spiraled around them. Vivian could only stare and marvel at them.

Saria slowed her pace as she took the both of them to the edge to the pool and lowered Vivian on to a single, smooth step. She tugged lightly at Vivian's heavy looking, pink dress.

"You better lift it up if you don't want it to get wet." she recommended. Seeing this as the green light to dip her feet in, Vivian was more than happy to discard her constricting shoes (Which she flung backwards carelessly) and her ripped white tights. Shuffling forward, she lifted the ends of her dress up on to her lap. Staring at the water enthusiastically, she broke her gaze and looked back to Saria one last time for approval.

"Do I just put my legs in?"

"Mhm." Saria had already put her boots aside and was currently enjoying the healing properties of the magical water herself.

The clear liquid wasn't as cold as she expected it to be. It was pleasantly warm, but not like a bath or anything...in fact...now that she thought about it, it felt a little icy now. Warm ice? Nah, that itself was a ridiculous oxymoron. Sighing blissfully, Vivian watched merrily as light blue lines trailed up her legs, around her small cuts and began to close up the wounds at super speed. It was extraordinary to watch. For a while, Vivian just sat on that step paddling in the pool while Saria played with the fairies. The conversation they kept was light: a few stories exchanged about how Saria discovered the meadow and fountain and how Vivian annoyed the shrubs.

Even a minute after Vivian had finished reliving that unpleasant encounter with those leafy fiends Saria was still in hysterical laughter and Vivian was just scowling at her, unamused and unashamed of what she had done. "I don't see what's so funny..."

"B-but you screamed at them—!"

"I still don't get how that's funny!"

"Shrubs are such scaredy-cats! I'm surprised you didn't know that they're more scared of you! They probably thought you were going to eat them!"

"An shrub devourer wearing a pink dress? Really?" This time, Vivian was the one raising her eyebrows sarcastically at Saria. Saria giggled again. Her loud, high pitched laugh resonated and rebounded around the walls of the fountain which gave Vivian a somewhat mystic impression of the hidden cavern . Vivian leaned forward to rest her head on her elbows but ended up peering dejectedly at her reflection in the water. Saria scrutinized the way her eye's narrowed, her eyebrows furrowed in to a frown and her lips tug downwards in a mix of displeasure and perplexity. Vivian took palm full of water, splashing her face and specifically rubbing where a little cut was starting to redden.

"Are you alright?" the Kokiri girl inquired, now becoming a little uncertain as to why Vivian was gawking at herself like that. Saria did not notice anything particularly extraordinary about the girl other than her clothes and mannerisms. Vivian was quite the cute child now that Saria thought about it. Her woody brown hair was collar bone length, dead straight with her long pointed ears tucked snugly between a few soft looking locks. Her hair seemed fluffy which probably wasn't good for a windy day. Her full fringe just about covered over her big, light grey eyes. Pale skinned with cherub cheeks and full, pale pink lips, Saria wondered if she was from a sheltered family that didn't allow her to play outside much. Vivian appeared to be very fragile and after seeing her fall over a few times, Saria saying she was dainty wouldn't be considered lying. Her feet were in such a state that you would think she never ran in shoes before—not to mention that pink dress looked so heavy to wear! Saria asked her again if she was okay but the brunette didn't say much. All Saria's pointed ears could pick up was an indistinct muttering of 'anti-aging' and 'be glad your skinny again.'

"Hey, do you mind if I call you Vee?" This seemed to get the girl out of her fixated glaring contest with her water-mirror image. Vivian's eyelids flickered, showing her brain processing the sentence, before she nodded her head "Go ahead. I don't think I ever got that nickname before."

Saria tilted her head lopsidedly as a fairy whizzed past her. "Really? Vivian seems like a bit of a mouthful to me. Don't you have any nicknames?"

"A few. Vivi, Viv, devil incarnate, game freak—"

Saria gasped, her face twisting into a sympathetic, yet horrified look, "Devil incarnate? That's so mean! Why would anyone call you that?"

Vivian paled, not really expecting her to take offense to it. But then again, different place, different social norms right?

"It's part of a joke—don't worry! They weren't being serious!" Her hands waved frantically in protest but the fairy girl did not look pleased at all. After insisting that Saria take no notice of the nickname, she then moved on to her second street name.

"Game freak...I take it you like games?"

"Uh-huh!"

"What kinds?" Saria smiled at Vivian's beaming face.

"Well, there's the Legend of uh...Loz? Yeah, Loz! Then there's Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Tons of Pokmon; I've got all the games! What else? I didn't like Animal Crossing as much as I thought I would...Dragon Quest IX was good...Harvest Moon, Kingdom Hearts—Oh wait! you don't know these do you?"

Saria was staring blankly at Vee when the girl had noticed the Kokiri's sudden silence. Laughing awkwardly, Vivian asked if she meant 'outdoor games?' to which Saria merely nodded her head, gaped inquisitively, and wondered if Vee even knew what Leap Frog was.

Bizarrely, Saria would not have been surprised if she didn't.

"NO WAY! We are not keeping a stray in the village! Let her go back to where she came from!"

The verbal sparring match had been going on for at least eight minutes now with opinions being thrown around like broken daisy chains. The red haired boy was yelling loudly, his freckled cheeks scarlet in anger as his hands moved animatedly in frustration while Saria narrowed her eyes at the green-clad boy, keeping her hands on her hips. Even their fairies were face to face, growling ferociously at each other. They were yelling so loudly that they seemed completely ignorant to all the nosey stares they began to recieve from the other Kokiri children who came to watch the two sub-authoritive heads of their village squabble.

"She's not a stray you bum! Vee got lost in the woods! Do you have any idea how lucky she is not to have been turned in to a Skull Kid?" she snapped back, causing Mido, the self proclaimed leader of the Kokiri, to wince at her tone. While those two were having a heated discussion (or as one of the Know-It-All brothers who sat down beside Vee said, 'a total blood bath') the girl who was the very centre of the topic being argued was sitting calmly on a rock and introducing herself to the Kokiri who gathered around her. They were asking her questions like if she was a child-eating witch, a princess or if she was hurt. Vivian thought that surprisingly polite lime-green haired Kokiri boy deserved a hug, but he insisted girls had cooties so she sulked instead.

Running into Mido wasn't part of Saria's "Operation: Smuggle Vee to the Great Deku Tree!" but clearly, Mido was going through a little espionage of his own when he found them shuffling stealthly through a couple of bushes. Saria told Vee she needed to ask the Great Deku Tree for permission to let her stay in the village but she was unsure whether to leave her with the other Kokiri because of a certain chubby-faced bully going ballistic. Mido actually looked happy when he spotted Saria, but after one look at Vivian and he was just about ready to leap back and throw rocks at her. So now, they were about ready to start pulling punches and Vee still didn't get to see the Great Deku Tree. What a bummer...

To pass the time, Vivian decided to keep score of their verbal 'epicness' as she called it. They were currently standing at 100 points to Mido and 120 points to Saria.

"I don't want a stranger in our village!" Decent reason to reject me, 20 points to Mido.

"I don't want Vivian to get lost or hurt!" Sweet response! 20 points to Saria!

"I don't care if she gets lost or hurt!" Boo! Boo I say! 30 points taken away for being insensitive and just plain rude!

"And I don't care if she's a stranger! She's my friend!" Friendship Bonus! 30 points added to Saria!

"Don't be stupid! She's an outsider! She'll kill us in our sleep!" Um, I'm a pacifist? Ugh, whatever, for ironic amusement's sake, I grant 50 points to Mido.

"You're the stupid one! She's harmless!" Saria pointed at her, to which Vivian decided to stand up, do a twirl and sit back down. "She's wearing pink dress for Farore's sake! What is the worst she could do? Cuddle you to death?" At this, a few Kokiri snickered at Mido for finding a pink clothed girl terrifying and the boy flushed crimson in embarrasment. HUMILIATION SMACK DOWN! Saria makes Mido look stupid! 100 points!

"Exactly! The innocent ones are always the deadliest! I bet she's a big, fat, ugly witch who's pretending to be a sweet little girl so she can eat us!" Ok, Vivian might have glared at him for the witch part, but that by far was her favourite line in the whole arguement. As I am an unbiased spectator, I give Mido a good 130 points for that one. Unfortunately, this makes their scores 270 to Mido and 270 to Saria. Uh-oh, Tie Breakers are never a good thing.

"It's ok Saria" Vivian suddenly intervened with a sad (fake) smile on her lips. "If I die, it'll be his fault anyway."

Vivian has entered the fight! She starts by using the move "GUILT TRIP!" [1]

This got everyone's attention, especially Mido's. Batting her eyelashes innocently, she gazed politely at the gaping Kokiri boy.

"What did you expect? If you chuck me out the Village, I'm gonna die. I almost got killed by a bunch of shrubs just now, so the minute I head through that-" she pointed west and everyone's eyes seemed to follow her finger to the exit to the forest, where one certain guarding Kokiri gave them a puzzled look in return.

"-entrance, I'm going to get attacked, ripped apart and probably eaten by something scary like a Wolfos. So effectively, my life is in your hands right now." She looked back at Mido and held back a grin, ending her pitch with a lovely rhetorical question that she knew would get answered anyway.

"Do you, the great leader of the Kokiri, want to continue your life knowing you killed me by sending me away?" Vivian's "GUILT TRIP!" works! Mido is temporarily confused!

Vivian initiates the move "PEER PRESSURE!"

Vivian seemed to be getting horrified looks from the other Kokiri who clearly didn't like the idea of death at all. What probably freaked them out was the fact she had said all this with a calm, yet serious expression on her face like an oldy lady gossiping maliciously about someone at a hair salon. The best facial expression had to belong to Mido, who not only paled, but looked like he was about to start crying. Why you may ask? Simple. One, kids hate all kind of blame and responsibility and two, his 'loyal subjects' looked about ready to start a mutiny should his wording go wrong.

Mido is weak after getting hit by "GUILT TRIP!" and "PEER PRESSURE!" His natural move "SWAGGER" becomes ineffective!

"I—uh...Y-you! You're saying that on purpose! You're trying to get everyone to feel sorry for you!"

Oh dear. That certainly wasn't the reaction Vivian was hoping for.

Oh no! "GUILT TRIP" and "PEER PRESSURE" became uneffective! His "SWAGGER" is returning! Mido uses move "You-Think-I-Don't-Know-What-You're-Doing?"

Luckily, she had something else in mind. Vivian counterattacks using "FEAR FACTOR!"

"Oh, by the way, if I do die, I will come back to haunt you." Vivian appeared dead serious as her gaze burned into his murky blue eyes. Mido visably gulped.

"What? Did you really think I'd let you get away with that? Not only will I smash all your pots, steal your shoes and drop your money in rabbit holes but I'll force you to eat your pillow! That's right! You'll be having dream of eating a giant marshmallow but you'll wake up in the morning and find that your favourite, goose feathered pillow will be missing! How'd you like that?[2]"

Vee enjoyed acting, so that was probably the only reason why she kept a straight face and didn't burst out laughing. But did anyone know that Mido was scared of Ghosts? It wasn't until Mido was stunned speechless that Vee (and the Kokiri) realized that the boy deeply disliked the supernatural undead.

"FEAR FACTOR" is super effective! Mido fled the scene with his tail between his legs! 1000 points to Vivian!

...

Alright, fine. Mido didn't run away with his tail between his legs /just/ yet. He was still there, looking at her like a wounded puppy with a sulky pout on his face and big, frightened eyes. But think about it, if it wasn't for his pride, he would have ditched the scene the second "GUILT TRIP" was involved with the fight. Saria seemed to have gone quiet as she looked back and forth between Mido and her Hylian friend.

"So, can she stay Mido?" The nice Kokiri boy with weird lime green hair asked, breaking the sudden awkward silence. The other Kokiri looked up at their 'leader,' awaiting a solid answer from him. Huffing furiously, Mido crossed his arms and turned his back away from the crowd, his shoulders shaking.

"F-Fine! The outsider can stay—but only if the Great Deku Tree lets her! If he says no, I want her out!" he declared spitefully, ignoring the several giggles and grins from the other Kokiri children as he stormed off. Beaming smugly, Vivian stood up from her rock and patted the dust off of her dress. Saria was grinning at her, pleased that they managed to convince Mido to acknowledge the fact he would be seeing her face around more often, because lets face it, he would never outright say yes to letting an outsider stay unless that outsider worshipped the ground he walked on. The first thing Vivian told him was that green made his legs look chunky.

"Do you still want me to come with you to see the Great Deku Tree?" Vivian smiled sweetly as she scampered over to Saria, her huge side bag (which they found by the gates of Sacred Forest Meadow) still slung around her like a ball chain to a prisoner. Saria smiled back but shook her head. "I think it'll be better if I talk to him alone. I'm sure he'll say yes, he's really nice and wonderful! Why don't you go drop your stuff at my house?" she suggested before rushing over to the pond/waterfall area and jumping on to a single stump. "It's that one over there!" she called out before running out of sight.

Vivian waved as she disappeared before looking around her. Suddenly, she wasn't smiling anymore. Which direction did she point at again?

"Excuse me!" She saw the lime haired boy first so she rushed over to him just as he was about the leave "The fighting arena" (Vivian only just noticed that the place they had all been in was completely encircled by Rocks in front of someone's house. Now all it needed was some benches and ropes.)

He smiled at her (Like all the Kokiri seemed to do beside Mido) "Yes?"

"Do you know which house is Saria's?"

The boy nodded his head politely while his fairy happily twinkled beside him. "Yes. I'll take you there. Do you want me to hold your bag?" Well aren't you a gentleman?

"Nah, it's fine." she declined, but the boy brushed it off with another polite smile as he started walking around the huge pond and the random tower next to it with Vivian and his fairy following him. "So are you really from outside the Forest?" he asked after she caught up with him. They were walking side by side, now that his fairy decided to rest on his shoulder lazily instead of buzz around Vivian's ears. Vivian nodded her head. "Yeah, quite far from it. I don't really know how I got to the woods."

"Really?"

"Yep. It's kinda freaky seeing as I live in the city."

"What's a city?" the boy inquired, looking a bit confused. Making a small 'O' shape with her mouth, Vivian told him to ignore that last question, he did. Eventually the two reached Saria's house which stood between two Tree houses. One of them being carved into a hollow tree and the other one literally being a tree house. Noticing that fact, Vivian gazed at the tree house with the huge ladder on it with big, big eyes.

"Does anyone live in that house?" she asked the boy. I really need a name to this face. Who is he?

The lime haired boy looked up in her direction and titled his green cap so it didn't cover his eyes. "Oh, that's Link's house. I think he's still asleep, I haven't seen him out today...or yesterday. I think he's working on something." He answered, now turning back to Vivian. His eyebrows shot up in bewilderment as Vivian suddenly squealed out something in hypersound as she spun around on the spot, hugging herself and giggling madly.

"Um, are you alright?"

"Never better! You just made my day! Thank You so much!" Despite his earlier protest to being hugged by her, this time the boy had no choice as Vivian practically tackled him and spun him around with her. Pushing her away frantically, he asked what he could have possibly done to make her this happy just by asking a question. Vivian ignored him when a blond boy walked from the top of the tree house, yawned and started climbing down the ladder slowly. Her eyes were fixed on him owlishly, but she didn't dare ignore the other boy.

"Hey, I never actually got your name. What is it?"

The boy, who was straightening himself out along with his hat replied "Fado."

All smiles faded from Vivian's face as her jaw positively dropped and her head swung from the blond boy to the lime haired one. "I-Is something the matter?" The boy "Fado" queried tensely, clearly ready to put his hands out in front of her if she decided to give him another death hug. She shook her head slowly and zombie-like.

"Not at all. Do you by any chance play an musical instrument?" she asked gently. He nodded his head precautiously.

"Does it have strings? [3]" she asked again, and this time, Fado nodded more vigorously. "Yes. How did you guess?"

Vivian didn't get to respond to him, because the blond boy she had her eyes on previously just spotted them.

"Hey Fado! Have you seen Saria—Huh? Who's this?" He had very bright eyes.

This day keeps getting better and better.

Authors Notes!

That was by far the longest chapter I have ever written for a story in my entire life. I feel exhausted! But I hope you all liked it! What do you think of Vivian? Is she a Sue yet? Feel free to tell me what you think of her! I'm aiming to make her a smart, yet rather dim on common sense, humorus character! I know it's too early to ask for Reviews, but I really would like them! They feed my fire and I like knowing what people think of my stories!

Additional things

[1] - "Vivian has entered the fight! She starts by using the move "GUILT TRIP!" - To anyone who has ever played Pokemon, you would understand the layout for the mental battle between Vivian and Mido. She said it herself that she loved playing Pokemon! I do too so I just thought it would be funny to use it to make their arguement more funny.

[2] - "You better prepare to wake up from a dream of eating a giant marshmallow and find that your favourite, goose feathered pillow will be missing!" - I haven't exactly written it word for word accurate, but anyone who can tell me where I got this from will have the next chapter completely dedicated to them in honour of your epicness.

[3] - "Does it have strings?" - Think about it guys. A lime haired Kokiri Boy who is called Fado and plays a stringed musical instrument...? WIND WAKER FADO! When I played Wind Waker, Fado said that he personally knew the Hero of Time, so I thought "Hey, why not add him to the Kokiri Village?" and that's exactly what I did!

End of Additional Things
