Mido was fuming. He couldn't believe this. How was it that Saria liked… that guy?! Mr. No-Fairy. He was a nobody, a weirdo. He was non-Kokiri-like, an outcast. Link was different, much too different for Mido's taste. And should be too different for Saria's taste! Mido thought.
He hated Link. He despised the fact that Link was so close to Saria. What did he ever do for her? Did he pick the weeds out of Saria's front yard, is he the one who's stronger than the rest of the Kokiri? No! Mido thought angrily. How is it I did all those things, but Saria pays me no attention? At least, not as much attention as she gives Link!
That wasn't the truth however; Saria was nice to everyone. Mido knew this deep down, but he often chose to ignore that part. He would rather be impractical, if it made his feelings make sense.
Mido kicked one of the treasure chests in his house, and went out the door. He had started to overwhelm himself, and he needed to talk to someone. Obviously Saria wasn't the correct person to go to. The Know-It-All brothers were also not the right people to go to, and the various girls and boys around the forest weren't really that kind of material. No, Mido knew who he had to go to.
…
"I just don't understand, Fado! Why would Saria like that punk? I'm so much… better! I'm not a freak!" Mido fumed to his second-best friend, Fado.
Fado sighed. "I don't know Mido. Link's mysterious. Maybe… Saria goes for the mysterious guys." She shrugged. "Why do you care so much, Mido? It's not like she ever liked you that way before."
Mido stopped pacing, and stared at Fado. "How could you say that? Are you on his side?!"
Fado shook her head and sighed louder, exasperated. "No, Mido, I'm just saying let's look at this sensibly. Saria does like you, Mido, you're one of her best friends. I think you need to be okay with that…"
Mido sat down next to her, and rubbed his eyes. "I know, you're right." He looked at her. "You're always right." He took her hand and held it in his. "You're just like my older sister, you know that? If I had a sister, it would be you." He smiled at her. She smiled back. "Don't get cheesy."
Mido walked out of the Lost Woods into the village, and spotted Saria calling for Link outside of Link's tree house. Mido scoffed, and walked to his self-designated post, guarding the entrance to the Great Deku Tree. Unfortunately, Link came walking up, and tried to get thru.
"Hey you, 'Mr. No Fairy'! What's your business with the Great Deku Tree? Without a fairy, you're not even a real man!" Link pointed to the blue fairy hovering next to his head.
"What? You've got a fairy?" Link pointed beyond Mido. "Say what? The Great Deku Tree actually summoned you? Whaaaaaaat?! Why would he summon you, and not the Great Mido?" Mido could feel his anger and jealousy rising. "This isn't funny!" He turned his head away. "I don't believe it! You're not even fully equipped yet! How do you think you're going to help the Great Deku Tree without both a sword and a shield ready?"
Link pointed at Mido himself and waved both hands around Mido's body. Ugh, I wish he would just talk!
"What? You're right. I don't have my equipment ready, but if you want to pass through here, you should at least equip a sword and shield! Sheesh!" And with that, Link went high-tailing it out of there. Mido smirked.
About one hour later, Link came back. Mido glared at him. He was about to say something when Link showed him a Deku Shield.
"Eh, what's that? Oh. So you've got a Deku Shield…"
Link held the Kokiri Sword out. "And what's THAT? Is that the Kokiri sword?! GOOD GRIEF!" Mido shook his head at Link. "Still, even with all that stuff, a wimp is still a wimp, huh?" Mido felt the anger building and building, more and more. "I, the great Mido, will never accept you as one of us!" Link shrugged his shoulders. "Shoot! How did you get to be the favorite of Saria and the Great Deku Tree? Huh?!" Mido started to grumble.
He couldn't do anything about it. He must let Link pass.
