Chapter 1: A Normal Day?
A/N: Yo! :P I'm the Legend of Zelda fangirl commonly known as UltimateOtakuGirl100!
So, I was bored this winter break, and if you know me, you'll know that when I'm bored, I write random stuff like this. XD This is something I randomly thought of while looking through the many Link/OC fanfics in existence and had an "I knew that in the back of my mind but never really thought about it" moment when I realized just how many Link fangirls there really are.
So, in both honor and humor of said fangirls (which happens to include myself), I decided to write this: Every Fangirl's Dream!
This is written for laughs and for getting out epic fangirl-ness. I'm willing to accept OC requests for fangirls or friends of other OCs that are boys (no yaoi!) to appear in this story, but if there ends up being too many requests, then I'll have to stop. So it's first come, first serve!
And, just so any and all fangirls out there are aware: the goddesses are going to totally dis us in this chapter. So be prepared.
Enjoy!
Up in the heavens, the three goddesses were in a foul mood.
"I cannot believe how low mankind has fallen!" Din hissed. "They hardly care about power anymore! It's always land, or it's how smart the country is, or how athletic their athletes are! And the rare wars are always cut short now because of the weapons they create are so strong! UGH! It makes me sick!"
Nayru pouted. "Hey, I don't have it any better!" the goddess ranted. "Nowadays, they never use intellect the way it's supposed to be used! Do you think that I enjoy humankind inventing weapons of mass destruction?!"
"What about me?!" Farore snapped. "Do you see a single Hylian left in the world? Do you? NO! There is not a single pointy-eared human in the entire world left! None! They've all fallen, and can no longer hear the voices of the gods! Every single one of my creations has fallen!"
They continued to bicker like this for some time; nowadays, that was all they did, because their services were no longer needed in the world of the humans. It'd once been named "Hyrule", but now, they'd all forgotten the tales of the heroes and princesses of the past. Well, that wasn't true; a few remembered, but regarded them as myths, and had twisted the legendary tales into games for the mortals to recreate in their "video games".
The goddesses, along with the other ancient gods, had been forgotten by mortals, along with the mortals' own past. They were fed up.
But, there was nothing they could do; with none left worshipping them, they'd taken the Triforce away from the world as not to force the past onto the mortals. Besides, they'd become so advanced yet so ignorant that they had no need for the Triforce.
Well, that wasn't entirely true…
"And what about those fangirls of the humans?!" Nayru shrieked. "Those lunatics take their own twisted views of the Heroes of the past and call it love!"
The other two goddesses turned to her and agreed grimly. "Those girls…" Din spat, "are completely and utterly blind. They think of the Heroes as merely imaginary! And yet, they pretend to love them! Bah!"
Farore crossed her arms. "Those fangirls," she added solemnly, "are bad news. Their wishes for the Heroes control their mind and body… I can't help but think that one day, something bad is going to happen because of them. There are so many of them in the world…"
Suddenly, as if on cue, Hylia, the goddess who had been brought to the heavens along with the Triforce to continue to watch over it, bust into the room. "Din! Nayru! Farore!" she cried, panting. "Th-the Triforce! It's glowing!"
They dashed to the room where the Triforce was hidden. The four goddesses stared in horror at the Triforce, as it continued to resonate. "Why's it doing this?!" Farore demanded.
Hylia looked uncomfortable. "W-well," the protector of the Triforce replied nervously, "I was watching the Triforce as usual, and I was about to take a break to see what'd become of the descendants of Zelda—that's one of my favorite pastimes, you know—when suddenly, I felt a strong wish fighting its way towards the Triforce. It was so unexpected! It'd happened before, but never that strong or sudden… I tried to stop it, but I think the wish must've reached the Triforce."
Din looked shocked. "But we took it away from mortals just to prevent that from happening!" she exclaimed. "I don't know much about the goings-on of the mortals, but I can't think of any group of mortals with such strong ambitions as to breach the heavens…" The Goddess of Power trailed off as she realized what it must've been.
Nayru looked stricken. "Except…" she corrected hesitantly, "the fangirls…"
The other goddesses snapped their heads in her direction. "Are you saying what I think you are?!" Farore whispered frantically.
Nayru nodded slowly. "That's right… within the next twenty-four hours, every single fangirl in the entire world is going to have their greatest wish granted." The Goddess of Wisdom looked solemn. "Link."
~~Meanwhile , down below, Gabi's POV~~
"DIE, YOU UGLY LITTLE—YES—NOOOOO! Aw, come on, not again… now I've only got three hearts left—CRAP NOOOOO! RUN FOR YOUR—NOOO! I cannot believe it made me fall off the edge again! Crap… NOOO! NOOOOOO!" This was what I was screaming before I threw my Wii Remote to the ground in anger at dying because of the Twilight Princess boss, Twilit Dragon: Argorok. I'd beaten the game before, but I wanted to play it again, and I couldn't remember how to beat Argorok anymore, and once I'd finally remembered, I'd already lost most of my hearts, thus making Link die before I could put it into action…
I fell to the floor, "GLOOM" practically written on my head in Japanese characters like they sometimes do in anime. I let you die again… I cannot believe it… I'm so sorry, Link… I mourned internally.
"Gabi! Stop playing your game, now! You've been playing since eight in the morning!" my mom yelled from the kitchen, exasperated.
"But it's a break from school," I whined.
"You can't have any more screen time today! Now come and unload the dishwasher! After that, you have to pack for the trip to see your grandma tomorrow!"
I wanted to argue and keep playing, but I knew it was moot point, so I moaned, saved and quit, then resigned myself to the few more hours left in the day before sundown where I would be Link-less.
Yes, I am a Link fangirl. I love him, and would immediately give my life for him if he was real, but sadly, he's not. I know the other members of my family think that I'm crazy, but hey, it's not like I'm the craziest fangirl out there. Seriously, I've met girls who have shrines in their rooms, dedicated all to Link. I have a ton of Legend of Zelda stuff, including magazines, jewelry, manga, and so on, but that's not a whole shrine. Personally, I don't see why my fangirl-ness is such a big deal. It's not like I'm a bad kid or anything because of it.
Sigh.
"GABI!"
"C-coming!"
I remained silent as I heard various chatter from my parents and my younger brother and sister, as I was the oldest. I heard them talking about leaving at seven in the morning, but I hadn't really been paying attention until I heard my mom say, "Gabi, I don't think you should bring your 3DS to Grandma's."
I froze. "WH-WHAT?!" I demanded, scaring the living daylights out of everyone. "WHY NOT?!"
Mom looked frustrated that I'd cried out so suddenly. "Because you've been abusing your screen time, and besides, it's not that long a drive. You need to socialize with your grandmother."
Feeling a kind of anger that I couldn't remember the last time I'd felt, I stood up suddenly. "NO! I WANT TO BRING MY 3DS! I'M GOING TO BRING MY 3DS!"
My mother looked angry. "Gabi," she hissed, seething, "for talking back to your mother, I'm not allowing you to come with us on the trip. And no Legend of Zelda!"
My eyes widened. "B-but—"
"FINISH YOUR FOOD AND GO TO YOUR ROOM!" she yelled. Her shout seemed to hang in the air dangerously, and I knew I'd lost.
I dejectedly finished my dinner and placed my plate in the newly-unloaded dishwasher, heading to my room. I didn't plan on obeying my mom's order not to play the Legend of Zelda—it's not like she would be here to stop me—but I still felt angry that I'd been deprived of grandma's epic homemade brownies. Fuming, I internally plotted. It wasn't too early, so they wouldn't be as suspicious; maybe I could sneak in some Ocarina of Time 3D…
But when I got to my room, something suddenly came over me. I stumbled, dizzy all of the sudden, and just barely managed to stagger over to my bed before I saw a sudden flash of gold, and everything went black.
I groaned, feeling weak. Ugh, I must've been more tired than I'd thought, I thought groggily, forcing myself into a sitting position and using my hand to keep my head up; I wasn't a morning person at all, and with how tired I felt right then, I had a feeling that if I didn't force my head to stay up, then I would just fall over and conk out again.
After I'd mostly regained my bearings, I slowly hoisted myself out of bed, and snagged my hairbrush that I'd left in my room several days before just because I was too lazy to put it away, but it turned out to be a good idea because then I no longer had to leave my room first thing in the morning to brush my shoulder-length golden-brown hair.
I frowned, finally remembering the events of the previous night, and I glanced at the clock on my dresser.
It was 8:37. They'd all left already.
A slow smirk grew onto my face. I was all alone in the house! No one to stop me from doing whatever I wanted for the next… well, however many days they were going to be gone! I was still a little upset about missing Grandma's awesome brownies, but in comparison to missing out on even a portable Legend of Zelda, well… brownies were a small loss in comparison to my sanity.
Hair brushed, I smiled, setting it down again, and opened the door…
…and found myself staring at Link—it looked like either Skyward Sword Link or Twilight Princess Link, but I couldn't be entirely sure—who lay, sleeping, against the wall of my hallway, directly in front of my door. I gaped, frozen, hand still on the doorknob.
As if sensing me there, I saw his face grimace uncomfortably, and slowly, his blue eyes opened. Link sluggishly stood up, stretching, and it was now that I finally noticed how much taller he was than me—around a whole foot; I guess that made sense, though, because I was only a slightly older tween and he was, like, 18 or something.
He looked around, seeming confused. "Where am I…? How'd I get here?" Then he noticed me and stared at me. "And who are you?"
I'm serious, when Link said that, I forgot my own name. I looked down on myself, flustered, and realizing how ridiculous I must've looked to him, with my lazily brushed hair and purple-and-pink panther-style cat PJ's. My heart began pounding hard in my chest. "I-I… uh…" I stammered. "I…" To my relief, I remembered my name again. "M-my name's Gabi."
Link's eyes widened. "Gabi?!" he repeated, surprised. "I… I saw a flash of golden light, and I vaguely remember other Heroes somehow merging with me… then I heard one word… 'Gabi'…" His forehead wrinkled in confusion as he looked at me closer. "Are you somehow connected to the Triforce?"
Link took a step towards me, and my heart pounded even harder. My heart practically leaped out of my chest when he placed his gloved hand on my shoulder and gently pulled me closer to him to study me. "Who… are you, Gabi?"
With his hand on my shoulder and him speaking those words, I finally did the one reasonable thing anyone would do in my situation.
I fainted.
A/N: And that's that! End of chapter one!
I ended up naming the main character OC after myself because I just couldn't think of any other name that would really seem right to me… XD Besides, her physical description was mine, so why not just seal the deal?
If you want a bit of additional information on Gabi (me), then look at my profile.
Now, my mom wouldn't really ban me from a trip for yelling at her about my 3DS (knock on wood), but I just wanted a reason why I'd be home alone during this.
If you want to send in an OC, then I'll need you to fill out this form here. There's a lot, so you don't have to answer EVERYTHING, but answer as much as you have patience for. (This is OC submission sheet 2.0, because the original sheet wasn't specific enough. Okay?)

Just fill out that info and send it! Note that if I deem something inappropriate or unwanted about your OC, then I may not include that part of your OC's description or not use your OC at all! Keep this in mind while doing it. If you want additional info of what I don't want to include in stories, then look at my profile. It'll be in bold.
Review topics:
Did the goddesses' reaction annoy you?
If this happened to you (if you're a girl, so guys, don't answer), how would you react?
Should I talk a bit more about the goddess's view of it from time to time, or stick with just Gabi's view for most of the rest of the story?
Is Link OOC (Out Of Character)? I tried to think how he would react that didn't involve destroying anything or threats…
Without any flames… is this a… how about… "different" idea? (And if so, in a good way or a bad way?)
R&R peoples! :P
