JC: Hello, peeps. I haven't been updating things. I know. I don't have a strong interest for Death Note anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still love it! I just got a little bored and turned my interest to Zelda. I'm finally posting a Zelda fic here! X3 please enjoy. And sorry again if I stop updating! I'm gonna love writing this story :D LeahGirlyGurl helped me come up with the title. If you may have noticed, I use the word secret too much. Haha.
Leah: YOU GOTTA LOVE VAATI!
JC: Yes, you must. :D
"What? You forgot your homework too?"
"...Yeah... For the love of Nayru, how the hell did I forget?" Zelda said, smacking her head.
"Ms. Majora told us that if we don't have it turned in by tomorrow, we're going to drop down a grade!" I said. We groaned. After all, it was near summer vacation and our final grade.
"Hey, let's go ask our other classmates!" Zelda suggested. "Ah... but I am getting ahead of myself. We don't know where anyone else's address... damn." Zelda crossed her arms and stomped her foot.
"Hey, you're not Miss Tetra anymore so stop acting stubborn, we're almost eighth graders! We have to be more mature."
"Yeah, but we're stumped! We don't have our assignments! It's already three o'clock and I've got to get home by four."
"Hey, I just remembered Vaati's house. He lives not too far from my house." I said.
"You have his address? But besides, he's the class loner, he's not smart." Zelda stuck out her tongue.
"Hey, don't judge a book by its cover! He's a good friend, though he doesn't talk much. He stays away from most people, but he doesn't mind hanging out with me. He likes researching spells. Plus he's the 'cool type'—"
"How do you know Vaati this much? Is he special to you, eh Link?" Zelda giggled. Jeez, Zelda just had to say that. Honestly, Vaati and I are no more than friends… Unfortunately… B-but that's not the point!
"Zelda, shut up. Let's go now, it's worth a try." And so, we started walking to the spell freak, Vaati's, house.
As Zelda and I stepped up to Vaati's front door, I was a little nervous. The door was painted a dark purple and some kind of red mark on it. I brought along a little notepad to write the assignments down.
"Well, ring the doorbell, Link!" Zelda told me.
"U-umm… okay." I slowly reached for the doorbell and pushed it. It made a small ding-dong noise. I heard a few slight footsteps inside and as it got louder, I got more nervous. Get a hold of yourself, Link! Then I saw the door swing open. Vaati was standing there, looking unamused and messy. His usual perfectly combed lavender hair was tangled in some parts, his eyes were drooping closed, and his clothes were much wrinkled.
"Yes?" He said in a silky voice. Gosh, how do you get a voice like that? It's so weird… yet so cool.
"U-um hello Vaati. We need help in, uhh, our homework and, uh, can you, um…"
Why am I stuttering? I saw Vaati looking at Zelda, as if he has a huge interest in her. It made me feel a little mad, but, back to Vaati!
"We need the assignments for our homework. Would you happen to have them?" Zelda asked politely.
"Yes." Vaati said. He stepped out of the way, motioning us inside. "Hello, Link. How are you?" He asked, closing the door and locking it.
"O-oh, Me? I'm fine!" I said quickly. It's hot.
"And I believe you are Zelda?" He questioned Zelda.
"Yep." Zelda replied. "So could we please have the assignments?"
"Of course, let me go take them out." Vaati left the living room and ambled upstairs. I took the chance to look around. The room was covered in a blue coating, windows with lavender curtains, and a red couch. It strongly looks like Vaati himself! There was not much electronics, only candles. The room overall looked gloomy, poor, and beat up due to its dust buildup.
"Vaati doesn't say much, does he?" Zelda said, eyeing the unusual room as well.
"No, he usually chatters on and on about random subject that pop in his head." I said. A minute or so passed and Vaati stumbled out of his room, clutching his backpack like it was heavier than himself.
"Vaati, you okay?" I called up the stairs. He was struggling even by dragging it down. I climbed up the stairs already helping him out. I grabbed the backpack with all my might, except I pulled it too hard I tumbled down the stairs. I landed with a thud on the ground. "Urrghh…" I heard Vaati gasp and run down the stairs.
"Link are you okay?" Zelda said, kneeling next to me. I nodded. Vaati plopped down next to her, inspecting me. Zelda gave him a look, but then shook her head. "Get up." Zelda grabbed my arm and hoisted me up. I was holding the backpack. I was really surprised because it wasn't heavy at all! It felt like there were a few books in there, but nothing heavy!
"Vaati, there's nothing heavy in here!" I said to him. He took the backpack from me (which hit the floor instantly) and took out the homework.
"The assignments are to finish our Science quiz and finish reading 'Hyrule's Destiny' and writing a full page summary along with it." Vaati stated, looking up at me and Zelda.
"Oh, well that's not much at all." Zelda said. I nodded and started writing it down. "Well, thank you so much Vaati, but I have to go now. Thanks again!" Zelda said, and headed for the front. "Bye Link!" Zelda then winked at me. She shut the door. What the…? Why'd she wink at me? I realized Vaati's alone in his house.
"If you don't mind me asking, Vaati, why was that backpack heavy for you?"
"That's because I just set a spell off and it made me weak, I guess." Vaati said plainly.
"And Zelda's my friend so you should be comfy talking to her just like how you talk with me. She's no one new."
"I know that, but I don't like hanging with girls." Vaati scratched his head. "Hey, you wanna see this new spell I found out earlier?"
"Yeah, sure. I haven't been in your house before, but it's cool looking. You have a spell room, right? You told me once." I said.
"Yep. We're going there right now." He grabbed my wrist and ran upstairs. I was a little embarrassed; I'm going to his room! I'm not prepared for this thing… Upstairs there was a hall with 3 rooms. One door was red, one door was cracked open (which I assume is Vaati's room), and one looked like a thick, metal safe with marks and carvings on it. It had a little sign next to it labeled 'Spell Room.' "Here it is." Vaati help up one finger, mumbled a sort of chant while trailing his finger down the door. The door glowed green and swung open. "Come on inside! I can't wait to show you!" Vaati dragged me into the room.
"Haha, Vaati, you're cute when you're excited!" I said. Vaati turned to look at me and returned a blank stare.
"Please don't call me cute." He shut the door which made the room pitch black. Then I heard him chant something else, and I heard the door being locked. "Now, here we are, in my spell room." He snapped his finger and some magical light turned on. "We're alone now." Vaati said, smirking.
I hope you enjoyed reading that. Please review, I would love you if you did :D I'll give you bunches of virtual cookies! And if you don't like those, I'll give you milkshakes! If not, I'll give you jelly beanz! And if not… well too bad.
