Well, here's my first Zelda fic! I thought of the idea while talking about Agitha over at the Hylian Tower, and I knew I had to write it out. For the record, I don't own Legend of Zelda.
Colin stopped to catch his breath. He sat down in the grass, panting heavily. Colin was exhausted after tagging along with Link all the way to Castle Town. He looked up and saw Link holding out a hand. He grabbed it and smiled. "Thanks Link. You know, it's a really long trip out here. It's pretty cool that you made it all the way here without Epona so many times."
Link chuckled and nodded. Beckoning towards Castle Town, they continued walking through the now peaceful Hyrule Field. Colin looked around him, admiring the beauty of the field, when he saw a slight glowing light near a large tree. "Hey, Link. May I borrow a bottle? I think I see a fairy!"
Link pulled a bottle from his belt and gave it Colin with a smile. "Thank you Link!" Colin walked slowly towards the tree, eventually close enough to catch the fairy. Quickly and quietly, he swung the bottle and caught it. "Yeah, I got it! Let me look at it... Hey, this isn't a fairy. It looks like a bug. But it's glowing. That's weird." Curious, he brought the bottle to Link.
"Link, have you ever seen these before? It looks like a regular spider, but it's made of gold."
Link looked at the bottle for a moment. He then nodded and pulled a scroll from his satchel. "What's this? Golden Bugs? But... There isn't a spider on here." Link merely shrugged and smiled.
Colin looked at the spider once more. "I suppose that would make it a pretty special bug, wouldn't it? I'll keep it then, as a reminder of this trip with you, Link. Now, let's get to that restaurant you were talking about! Who did you say owned it again? Telma, right? Well, let's go!"
A short while later, they were standing outside Telma's Bar. "Hey, Link! We're here! Well, let's head on in."
Colin attempted to enter, but Link held him back. "Hey, what's wrong, Link?"
Link pointed to the sign, underlining the word "Bar". Colin looked down sadly. "Aw... Are you sure? I'm a big kid!" Link shook his head, smiling. He ruffled Colin's hair and pointed to a crate outside the bar. He made a one with his finger, signifying that this would be a quick visit. Colin sat down on the crate and looked at the bottle with the golden spider in it. Suddenly he heard a voice in front of him.
"Excuse me, but is that a golden spider? Would you mind if I looked at it for a minute?" Colin looked up, surprised at the girl's sudden appearance. She was a young girl, about his age, with a fancy parasol and a basket on her arm.
"Ah... Um... S-Sure. Here. Just, please be careful. It's important to me." He slowly handed the bottle to the strange girl. Who is this girl? Is she royalty?
"Ah. Thank you very much." The girl thoroughly examined the spider before handing it back to Colin. "That is a very special bug, you know. I would be willing to pay you handsomely..." The girl gave an odd sort of smile and sat next to Colin.
Colin shook his head and looked at the spider. It seemed to speak volumes, but he wasn't sure what it was saying. "I couldn't get rid of it. It's a souvenir. It'll always remind me of my journey here."
Agitha giggled and patted Colin's head. "You're really weird, you know that? But I like you. My name is Agitha, Princess of the Insect Kingdom" Agitha stood and did an elaborate curtsy.
Oh, so she really is a princess... "I'm Colin. It's very nice to meet you." He attempted a bow, but he had never needed to before and ended up looking like someone doing a full examination of their shoes.
Agitha began to laugh at Colin before realizing he was being serious. "Indeed. You know, you looked sort of silly just now. That wasn't exactly a proper bow."
Colin blushed a bit before regaining his composure. "O-Oh, I'm sorry. I've never really needed to bow before."
"It's okay." Agitha giggled. "But where are you from that you would never have to bow?"
Colin shuffled a bit before mumbling to her, "Ordon..."
Agitha gasped. "O-Ordon? I've heard that there are almost no golden bugs there!"
Colin nodded. "Well, I've never seen one before..."
Agitha ran forward and put her hands on Colin's shoulders, gripping them tightly. "That's terrible! The bugs have never visited you before? How could you live like this! It's settled! We're coming back with you!"
Right as Colin was about to respond, Link exited the bar, waving before shutting the door. As he turned, he saw Colin standing with the infamous Agitha standing precariously close to him, hands on his shoulders.
He couldn't stop the laughter.
It was once a one-shot, but now I'm gonna make it a multi-chap. Review!
