Hullo, friends, and welcome to a new fanfic! I was supposed to be uploading a new chapter of Libra's Encounter, buuuut...

I got a little off track. But please, don't get mad! I have it in the works, I promise! Anyway, some notes. One, I had a lot of these paragraphs indented. Why that didn't copy, I don't know. Two, there is a Shadow Link in here, but he is Link's twin brother in this, and he is named Avie. I know, wierd. Three, yes, I know, the girl's last name is Dragmire, I get it. Shall we proceed?

Chapter 1

"Avie, why do you keep stealing all these breakfast bars?"

"Because they are yummy. Is that a problem?"

"No."

"Kay then".

The boys where at lunchtime.

Link was wondering why Avie liked the bars. It was probably the fruit they are combined with. Link wouldn't know. He couldn't eat gluten. But that didn't stop him from eating all the time.

"Hey, Vaati, you like strawberries, right? Try this." Avie handed Vaati a strawberry mixed breakfast bar. Vaati was confused.

"How did you know I like strawberries?"

Avie gave a wide smile. "I'm psychic. That's how."

Vaati furrowed an eyebrow at him. Link rolled his eyes and took a bite out of an apple he had in his lunchbox.

"No, you're not, dude." He said with his mouth full.

"Well, whatever," Avie opened a blueberry mixed breakfast bar.

"Are ya gonna eat yours, Vaati?" Avie asked him, who just stared at the bar. He looked at Avie, and gave it back to him.

"As much as I want to, I can't. Sorry."

Avie pushed it back. "Come on dude. You haven't eaten breakfast."

In fact, Vaati hadn't eaten any of his lunch. He took it anyway.

"Fine. I'll eat it, I guess." Vaati sighed. He fumbled with it for a bit before opening it. He took a bite out.

"See? It's not bad." Avie reassured him. Vaati put a hand to his mouth as he chewed and swallowed. Link put down his apple and patted Vaati's back lightly. "You okay?"

Vaati got up and headed out of the cafeteria.

"Hey, where are you going?" Avie asked him.

Though Vaati stayed silent. Avie and Link were confused.

"Dude, he just ditched us!" Avie yelled as he got up from his seat.

Link took another bite from his apple.

"No he didn't. I don't think he was hungry."

Avie sat down slowly as he realized something. "He hasn't eaten yesterday, either."

Link put down what was left of the apple, which wasn't much. "Well, maybe he was trying to save room for a big dinner his sister was cooking up. Or maybe he just started eating at home now?"

Link took a yogurt cup from his lunchbox, along with a silver spoon. Avie crossed his arms.

"Either way, he shoulda told us." He grabbed his chocolate milk and drank it as if he was parched.

"Alright, everyone, only a few minutes left until lunch is over! If you're not eating, you're outside! If you're still here, you're eating, and not talking! Let's go!"

The vice principal of the eighth grade was announcing the end of yet another lunchtime. Link finished his yogurt , and Avie finished his milk. They both got up and brought their trash to the trash bins, and rushed to the boy's bathroom to see if Vaati ran into there.

"Vaati? Are you in here?" Link walked in, but didn't see him.

He's probably washing his hands...

Avie followed Link as he walked all the way to the end of the bathroom where the sinks where. They where hidden by the bathroom stalls. They saw Vaati cleaning his mouth. They stood behind him.

"Damn, was it really bad? I'm sorry, Vaati, I didn't mean-"

"It wasn't that." Vaati interrupted Avie. Now Avie was confused. He was silent for a bit.

"Are you sick?" Link asked. "Because I can take you to the nurse."

But Vaati shook his head. Avie took a good look at Vaati, then stood next to him, able to see his expression in the mirror. His mouth was wet, and looked a bit restless. Vaati was looking at Avie through the mirror. He then smiled, almost laughed.

"You guys are looking at me like I'm a depressed person. Hey, how about we come to my house after school and have a good dinner? My sister is making baked macaroni and cheese with mashed potatoes and tater tots on the side. And a little surprise treat, too." Vaati took a paper towel from the paper towel dispenser and dried his mouth.

"That sounds great!" Link said, surprised.

"I never thought you'd finally ask us to come over to your house, after all these years." Avie smiled.

It was true. Ever since they became friends in sixth grade, Vaati has never once invited the twins to his house. They never met his sister, either.

"And it would be awesome to finally meet your sister," Link laughed, "you talk about her all the time, but we don't even know her!"

"Yeah, we've only talked to her on the phone once." Avie added.

Link looked at his watch. He gasped.

"You guys, everyone is about to get inside, we'd better go before we're caught up in a ruckus of idiots!"

Avie and Vaati laughed. "Alright," Vaati said, "let's hurry."

They left the bathroom.

"And then she fell asleep during class, and with her thumb in her mouth! What a little hypocrite! She think she all that, but she's a real crybaby, I'll tell ya that, honey bun."

"Yeah, and she's spoiled."

"Very."

Link, Avie, and Vaati had decided to bring an old friend with them to the house. Since Vaati's sister called and said she accidentally made too much food, she recommended to bring another friend over. They brung a girl named Desiree. She was half Gerudo, and she always had something to say. If anyone could name an obvious flaw in her, it would be that.

"Hey, are we there yet?" Avie complained as he was last to cross the street. He caught up with the others.

"Well, yes, we are." Vaati pointed to a huge brown painted house at the end of the street. It was only a few blocks away. After it was a dead end leading to the woods.

"Ugh, finally. I don't think these legs can keep up any longer at all," Desiree complained.

"Seriously." She flipped her hair after fixing her backpack strap.

"Link, what time is it? Avie asked him. Link looked at his watch.

"Three forty-six." Avie grunted is exhaustion.

"It's been thirty minutes? Vaati, how do you even put up with this every day!?" Avie complained. Link laughed.

"I think it's fine. I don't know why you're whining, whiny baby."

"I'm not a whiny baby!" Avie defended himself.

"Yeah, you are."

"No. I'm not."

"If you weren't, you would not have whined just now."

"But I didn't!"

Vaati and Desiree listened as as the twins argued. Vaati looked at her with a face that says, "I deal with this almost every day."

Desiree only shrugged.

The friends arrived at Vaati's house. Vaati knocked at the door.

"Who is it?!" A female voice yelled from inside the house.

"Hey sis, it's me! I brought my friends!" Vaati called.

"Okay, just give me a bit, I'm in a bit of a situation!" She replied. Vaati sighed, and leaned his back against the door.

"Hey, she kinda sounds like you, Vaati." Link noticed. Avie scoffed.

"You notice that now?"

"Did you forget what voices sound like over a phone?" Link crossed his arms.

Avie opened his mouth to say something, but Desiree stepped in.

"Stop. I will leave, FYI." She placed her hands on her hips.

"You can't leave, you just got here," Avie groaned.

"Whatever. I'm stay because there is food." She rolled her eyes.

It took a few minutes before Vaati's sister finally opened the door.

"Hello, there." She greeted.

Everyone but Vaati was surprised.

"Woah! Dude!"

"What!? Vaati?"

"TWINS!"

She was just that. Vaati's twin sister. She had the same hair as Vaati's, but just a bit longer, she had the same eyes, the same birthmark on the cheeks, a similar voice, she was almost exactly him!

"Hey, sis," Vaati said to her, cheerfully.

"You got here just in time! I got the table set up and everything! Come on in, but take off your shoes, I don't want wet snow in the house."

"Okay," Link and Desiree replied. Avie nodded.

They all went inside of the house, taking their shoes off and setting them near the door.

The house was pretty big. In the center of the living room, two red velvet couches were facing each other, a coffee table in the middle. On the wall near the door, a well maintained fireplace. The windows bore dark violet satin curtains. A computer table sat in the corner of the living room near the stairs.

Avie and Desiree both plopped on each couch, Avie being careful not to crush his backpack. Vaati set his backpack on the couch near Avie and walked over to the computer to turn it on. He turned to his friends, awkwardly smiling.

"There are rules in this house. First of all, we wash our hands before we eat. Even if the food we are eating is not finger food. You never know what will happen." He set for the stairs.

"Secondly, these stairs are old. Do not stomp on them, or they will break. We have maintenance coming tomorrow to fix them." He walked up, being followed by Link.

Desiree groaned. "Ugh, I don't wanna get up. My legs hurt." She put her hand to her forehead.

"And these couches are soooo comfortable..." Avie sighed happily.

"Come on, ya lazy bums." Link urged from upstairs.

"Nooooo..." Both Avie and Desiree moaned.

Vaati's sister shouted at them from the dining room.

"Get off my couch, you whiny babies, and go wash your hands!"

"Oh shoot, she's mad!"

Avie and Desiree immediately stood and ran up the stairs.

"BE CAREFUL!"

—TIMESKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY NAVI EATING NACHOS—

"So, hun, we gotta call you by some name. I'm Desiree Dragmire. What's yours?"

"Oh. Well, this may sound wierd, but my name is Vaatessa."

"What?" Avie was dumbfounded. "Your name is like Vaati's, but just extended!"

"Not really. V-a-a-t-e-s-s-a."

"Oh, okay."

"Well, heya, Vaatessa." Desiree greeted her. She stabbed a tater tot with her fork and popped it in her mouth.

"So, guys, how was school today?" Vaatessa had asked everyone at the table.

"Torturous, thank you very much," Desiree was the first to answer. She then poked her fork into two tater tots and stuffed her mouth with them.

"Oh, sorry to hear." Vaatessa replied.

"Great. I got an 86 on my math test today. I think it is the best out of my whole class!" Avie bragged while he sipped his iced tea.

"Well that's great," Vaatessa grinned. "Better than last time, which was a 73. You're improving nicely, Avie!"

"Thanks."

"Always brags about math scores." Desiree tsks.

"Mine was cool. My class had free time all period during 7th. We played ping pong with a paper pall and some clip boards." Link said. He poured all of the gravy on his mashed potatoes.

Then there was silence. Everyone stared at Vaati, who was just looking down at his plate, and eating.

"Vaati, how was your day?" Desiree asked slowly. He looked up at the rest.

"It was fine." He smiled.

"Was it, really?" Vaatessa seemed concerned. Vaati stayed silent until he dropped his fork, and stood up from the table.

"Excuse me," he said hurrily. He ran upstairs, careful not to stomp on them.

Everyone, except Vaatessa, seemed confused. Desiree, her mouth a bit full from tater tots, said, "What's his problem?"

"I don't know," Vaatessa said, "He's been acting all funny lately. I might have to talk with him later. Please, continue eating, I have dessert after!"

Link took Vaati's gravy and poured it on his plate.

When dessert came, Link, who had already been full, wondered why Vaati still hasn't come down.

"Vaatessa, how come Vaati's still upstairs?"

Vaatessa was finished making the dessert. She pouted. "He's probably taking a nap. Typical thing he'd do, my brother. But that's okay. I'll save him some very, very delicious homemade snowball cakes and swiss rolls!" She turned and walked over to the dinner table and placed a large platter, with multiple colored small snowball cakes, and vanilla and chocolate flavored swiss rolls.

"Mmm..." Everyone at the table instantly grabbed for a treat.

"The poor, boy, I wonder how he's doing?" Desiree wondered. She popped a whole snowball cake in her mouth while grabbing another. Did I mention she is a glutton?

Avie groaned. "Why is Vaati being a wierdo?"

Vaatessa and Desiree shrugged while Link suggested, "Maybe he just isn't feeling right?"

"Maybe that would explain his hunger."

"He's getting hungrier? I can feed him no problem!"

"No, Vaatessa, it isn't that, he's actually eating less!"

Vaatessa put a hand to her mouth. "My goodness! What is happening to my dear brother?" She asked rhetorically.

"To be honest, I think he's just tryin to get more attention," Avie rolled his eyes. "The popularity contest in school is coming up, and he got pretty interested in it."

"Nah, dude, that's impossible. We all know people try to keep their distance from Vaati ever since the 6th grade incident..." Desiree said as her voice trails off.

"Er, I thought we weren't supposed to talk about that?" Link warned.

"S-sorry, sorry, I tend to forget things..." She took a swiss roll and broke it in half, stuffing one half in her mouth to shut herself up.

"Heh, well, I do agree that people are afraid of us, that is good, but I mean, come on, Vaati? An attention whore? Come on."

"How is that good?" Avie gloated.

"Well, it's good for me."

Desiree popped one last snowball in her mouth before excusing herself from the table.

"I need to use the bathroom." She said.

Vaatessa pointed upward. "Upstairs, to the left."

Desiree had gone to the livingroom, and up the stairs, but instead of turning left, she stood there.
