It was a normal Saturday afternoon for Link. He was sitting in his newly refurbished living room, Sarahi sitting on his lap purring in contentment, a cup of tea on the table next to him and one of his many favorite mystery novels in his hand. He was about to pick up his cup to take a drink when suddenly his cell phone went off, disturbing the silence and Sarahi from her pleasant nap. Petting the agitated cat he picked up his phone, pressed the answer button and placed the phone to his ear.
"Link Porterfield speaking, my I ask whose calling?" he answered. "LINKY BOY!" was suddenly shouted into the phone startling him and his cat as well as hurting his ear causing him to pull the phone away and rub the now ringing ear. Putting the phone on speaker phone he set it on the table next to him and continued to sooth his cat. "Um yes, may I ask whose calling?" he asked again. The voice on the other end began to whine "I can't believe you've forgotten me, ME! THE UNFORGETTABLY AWSOME MARIK!". At the mention of Marik's name Link instantly perked up. "Oh I'm dreadfully sorry Marik I just couldn't place your voice there for a moment, how are you?"Link apologized then asked, curious as to how the exotic man was doing since they had last seen each other at the club.
"I've been completely bored, fluffy hasn't wanted to do anything at all and taco-bun's been too busy to hang out. I finally remembered you gave me your number that night at the club and wanted to see if you wanted to go out and do something fun so how about it?" Marik talked fast and excited. Link found it rather endearing and couldn't bring himself to say no even if he had wanted to. Smiling he answered Marik "I would love to, do you have a time and place in mind?". On the other end of the phone Marik was silent for a moment before talking excitedly "THE ZOO THE ZOO! I've always wanted to go to the zoo and see all the animals and and" and from there Marik started talking about all that he wanted to do and see at the zoo then soon he got off topic and started talking about coffee for some reason.
Link didn't want to interrupt Marik's happy ramblings but if he didn't then he would never know the time Marik would wish to meet so at a pause where Marik had to take a breath Link spoke up "so when would you like to go to the zoon?". Marik was quiet a moment then spoke "how about tomorrow morning, we can get there early before everyone else and the crowds won't be as big". Link thought it over a moment then agreed. "Alright I will see you then, would you like me to pick you up?" Link asked. Marik didn't even have to think about it before he gave an excited yes. Link grabbed a piece of paper and a pen then wrote down the address as Marik told it to him. With an enthusiastic goodbye on Marik's part and a calm goodbye on Links part they both hung up.
Petting Sarahi a few times in idle thought he looked down at her and spoke "well girl, think you'll have another daddy soon?" all he got was a meow for an answer. Chuckling to himself he took a drink from his tea then went back to reading his novel, he couldn't wait till tomorrow.
