Me: Alright, this is my thingy for project pull. I can't decide if I wanna make more chapters, or just make it a oneshot.
Miffles: Oh shut up and roll the claimers and disclaimers!
Me: Fine!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these songs I use! Nor do I own the school or Legend of Zelda. Unfortunately, I also don't own an ocarina. It sucks. Nor do I own any of the people in this story. If I do, I'll let you know. Nor do I own the books I mention.
Me: also, for all the songs I've put in, I've either put in lyrics, or a link to listen to the song.
To all my friends who read this! I'm sorry if I portray you badly. I mean nothing by it.
Zoe had done it again. She'd forgotten that there was no chapel committee today. She put her bags and coats in her locker and walked down to the choir room.
She was never really in the choir room, (mainly because she wasn't in choir) but because the door was unlocked, she slipped inside and plopped down on the piano bench.
She played a random tune that morphed into Deathbed by Reliant K, that morphed into Legend of Zelda tribute, which morphed into Midna's Lament from Twilight Princess, back into Deathbed, then back into a random tune.
Finally, Zoe remembered the music to Have Your Way by Britt Nicole. She opened her mouth and started to sing.
Feels like I've been here forever,
Why can't you just intervene,
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seams,
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn't hard,
But you promised you'd take care of me.
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape,
I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way, Just have your way,
When my friends and my family have left me
I feel so ashamed and so cold,
Remind you take broken things and turn them into beautiful
So I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape,
I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way, Just have your way,
Even if my dreams have died,
Even if I don't survive,
I'll still worship you with all my life,
My life, yeah,
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh
And I'll stop searching for the answers,
I'll stop praying for an escape,
And I'll trust you God with where I am,
And believe you will have your way,
Just have your way, Just have your way, yeah
I know you will,
I won't forget,
Whoa, oh, oh
You love me,
Have.
Your.
Way.
Yeah
As the song faded into quiet, Zoe leaned back. Then someone started to clap, causing Zoe to jump.
Zoe was so connected into the song that she hadn't noticed the choir teacher, Mr. Kowalis, walk in.
"Mr. Kowalis! I'm so sorry, the door was open, and the piano was right there, and there were two hours before school…an…and I just sat down, and I started playing…an…an…"
"What song was that?" He said.
Zoe was confused. She looked at him with a quizzical look. "Have Your Way by Britt Nicole." He nodded, and Zoe, feeling the awkwardness of this situation start to creep in, walked outside to wait for her friends to show up.
She pulled out her book, On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness by Andrew Peterson, and began reading. She was so busy reading that she didn't notice things happening around her.
If she'd put her book down she would've seen the woman in the brown dress come out from the trees and leave a small box next to Zoe, then walk back into the trees.
"Zoe! Yo Zoe!" Zoe looked up from her book.
"Kailey! Hi!" Zoe put down her book smiled. "What's up?"
Kailey shrugged. "Nothing really. What's in the box?"
Zoe's eyebrows furrowed together. "What box?"
Kailey pointed to the box next to Zoe that had Zoe's name on it.
"Hmmm…what's this?" Zoe picked up the box. She shook it once, then opened it. "Noooo WAY!" Zoe said as she picked up the interesting blue oblong object with a little spout.
"What is it?" Kailey said. Kailey noted it had several different holes on it, and had the triforce, from Legend of Zelda on the little spout. It looked familiar, but she couldn't figure it out.
"It's an ocarina! A ten holed ocarina! Just like the one from Ocarina of Time!" Zoe said with excitement and sparkles in her eyes.
Kailey remembered the video game. "Oh! From Legend of Zelda!" Kailey more or less stayed out of Zoe's conversations of Legend of Zelda. Mostly because they were fights between Zoe and Jill about who got to marry Link, until Zoe found a video on YouTube called "Split Timeline theory" explaining that each game was a different Link making Zoe claim Twilight Princess Link for herself, and Jill claim the Link from Skyward Sword, even though she has no idea about that Link.
"Yeah, this is exactly like the one from the game!" Zoe put the ocarina in her lap and looked into the box again. "Hey! There's a Legend of Zelda song book in here too!" Zoe pulled the book out and turned to the song of Storms. It was one of her favorites.
She pressed her fingers over the different holes. She figured out the right notes and played the song of storms. It was amazing!

"Awesome Zoe," Kailey said, "You sounded just like the game!"
Zoe beamed. "Thanks Kailey." Zoe put her hand over her eyes. "It looks like it's gonna rain. We should probably head inside." Zoe picked up her bag and the ocarina and walked inside, just as the rain and thunder started.
Later, Zoe was putting the box into her locker, when she realized there was paper on the bottom of the box.
Your music is sweet and pleasing to the ear.
We'd love to hear it again. Try to play it on this instrument.
We know you'll like it.
Be careful and watch the things around you.
Use carefully and remember that others are important, even when you think you can't trust them.
Who knows? They might surprise you.
Confused, Zoe put the box in her locker, grabbed her lunch box and hurried to get a good seat.
Later that day, Zoe found herself in the choir room again. It was after school, and the girls volley ball team was waiting for the games to start. Zoe pulled out her ocarina to show Jill, seeing as Jill was a LoZ nerd too.
"What is that?" Anna asked, standing on her tiptoes to see over Jill's shoulder. Zoe pushed Jill out of the way to show Anna.
"It's an ocarina. It's kind of like a whistle flute combination."
"It's cool lookin!" Stephanie L said. She walked up to get a better look. "That's really cool."
Leah looked at Zoe's songbook. "Can you play any songs on it?"
Zoe nodded. "Yeah, here, I'll play the Song of Time." Zoe turned the pages until the song of time's notes were facing her.
Zoe picked up her ocarina and played the song of time.

Suddenly Zoe felt like she was falling. The song of time echoed around her while what looked like hundreds of little white clocks danced around her. All the coins in her pockets fell out and suddenly she found herself on the ground.
Zoe looked around confused. The choir room was empty, and quiet. Zoe pulled out her phone. It said "Ocober 11, 2010." Zoe almost dropped the phone. "I went three days into the past!"
Once Zoe had stopped panicing, she remembered in the games, if you played the inverted song of time, you'd go forward in time.
Zoe looked at the song of times notes and figured out the inverted song of time and began playing.

Zoe again felt like she was falling. The inverted song of time played around her. As she fell, more coins flew from her pocket, but she kept a tight hand on her phone. Her mom would kill her if she lost it, and she didn't think that "It fell out while I was traveling through the time and space continuum" Would make a good excuse.
When Zoe finally fell on solid ground, the volleyball team was staring at her. Anna broke the silence. "What just happened?" she asked.
Jill spoke for Zoe, "I think Zoe just traveled back in time."
Stephanie K spoke up. "But that's impossible…right?"
Zoe shrugged. "All I know is that I played the song of time and went 3 days into the past, then played the inverted song of time and came back here."
"Wow…what else can you do? Play another song," The girls started saying.
I feel like a celebrity! Zoe thought. All these people want to hear me now!
Zoe leafed through the book till she landed on a page that had horses on its edges. She began to play. "Yes…" Zoe said. She grabbed the book and dashed out the exit door that led outside. All the volleyball girls followed her. Zoe set the book down on the grass and started to play Epona's song
http : / www. / watch?v = g0wuzx9_UF0
Jill caught up with Zoe and listened to Zoe play. When Zoe was finished, she looked around. After fifteen seconds, Zoe's shoulders slumped with disappointment. Jill put her hand on Zoe's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Did you really think it would happen?"
"Well," Zoe started, "I thought maybe it would, you know? Since I traveled in time…" she trailed off.
Jill turned Zoe to look her in her eyes. "Look, if you think about it logically, she's not a real horse. Do you think something that's not real could come to something that is real?"
"Well…maybe."
"No," Jill said. "Do you think that if you played The Serenade of Water, that you'd actually transport to Lake Hylia?"
"Well…probably not."
Kailey was at Zoe's other shoulder. She turned Zoe to look at her. "And do you think that if you played Saria's Song that you'd be able to talk with Saria?"
Zoe shook her head.
"No, you wouldn't," Jill said turning Zoe to look at her. "And if you play Epona's song, Epona's not actually going to come to you."
Jill was then interrupted by the screams of different soccer players.
"No…way…." Kailey and Jill trailed off. The rest of the volley ball team stood in shock, watching as a large horse with orangeish reddish skin, black knees, white feet, tail and mane, and black muzzle galloped past the soccer field and galloped up to Zoe and the volleyball team, staring with mouths hanging down.
Zoe started to walk up to it, but Anna grabbed her arm. "What are you doing?"
Zoe confused stared back at Anna. "I'm going to walk up to Epona."
Anna shook her head no. "You don't know that horse!"
Zoe looked back at her with sass on the ready to drop from her tongue. "That's Epona. She's Link's horse. I could jump fences with that horse."
Anna continued to say no, but Zoe got her hand free from Anna's arm and ran up and onto the horse. She squeezed it gently with her ankles, and urged the horse foreword.
Epona needed no more urges, and dashed across the field, making Zoe scream and she flew across the field with only two fistfuls of mane to keep her on the horse's back. As she gradually got used to riding the horse, she relaxed a bit more and screamed with enjoyment.
Ben, a soccer player and a good friend of Zoe's, stopped to stare at Zoe on the back of Epona. He was a Zelda fan too, and knew what she was riding.
Zoe pulled back on Epona's hair just a bit and Epona reared. Zoe held her ocarina up in the air, like Gannon had in Twilight Princess with Midna's helmet. It was pretty epic.
When Epona went back down on all fours, Ben walked over. "Whoa! Is that-"
"-Epona? Yes. How awesome is this?"
Ben didn't seem to hear her and stared at Epona. "…how…"
"I played Epona's song on my ocarina." Zoe held up the ocarina for Ben to see. Zoe slipped of Epona to help him see it better.
"Wow. That looks just like the one from the game!" Ben held it in his hands, flipping it over and over. "Can you play other songs?"
Zoe shrugged. "Here, hold this." She handed Ben the song book and flipped to the Song of Storms.
She played the song of storms and large dark clouds formed quickly, thunder crashed and Ben jumped back. Not wanting to get caught in a downpour, Zoe quickly played the sun song and the clouds went away.
"Whoa! That's-"
"Giirrrrlssss!" Coach Harmes called. She was gesturing for the volleyball girls to head inside.
"Gotta go."
"But, what about Epona?"
Zoe shrugged. "She always finds her way somewhere safe in the games. I'm sure she'll be fine." Zoe patted the horse in question. "I've gotta go now. Don't lose the game!"
Zoe ran after the other girls and Epona, sensing her adventure had ended, ran off into the woods.
This left Ben standing on the soccer field, wondering if this had been his imagination, or if it was real. And if it was, why would winning or losing a game matter, compared to finding a magic ocarina?
In the woods not too far away, a tall girl in a light brown dress sat on a tree, playing a flute. The trees around her seamed to play with her as she played the song of the lost woods.

She was trying to connect herself with the girl from her dreams. The girl who had red-blonde hair, a blue ocarina, and a silver locket around her neck, identical to the girl in the brown dress' own.
Epona walked up to the girl in the brown dress and nuzzled her sweetly. The girl in the brown dress stroked Epona's neck and scratched between her ears. "We'll find her soon. Then we'll figure this all out. I know we will."
