I don't own Zelda. So there. Bleh.

Link's POV

I sighed. There was nothing fun to do since Ezlo and Vaati went away back to the Picori world, and that was a year ago! I've had nothing to do at all, except for play with Zelda, but this month she was out with her family on some vacation, so she wasn't an option.

I wandered through the forest aimlessly, and I walked past the area of mushrooms and large clovers that I recognized to be the Minish Village. I so badly wanted to step onto the entrance, shrink down to the right size and visit them, but my memory was too horrible to remember the incantation to shrink. I sighed and continued on towards the fields.

My thoughts drifted to Vaati. I'd never forget about that small little Picori mage. Not because he caused a lot of trouble, but because he was, at heart, very lonely and innocent and even a little needy. He'd said I was his first real friend, and that memory was enough to make me want to see him again.

I groaned at the thought of being able to meet him again and continued to walk through the forest, looking out for any chuchus that I could slay. Even after a year of the monsters being released, there were still a few of them lurking around.

The crunch of fallen leaves sounded to my ears behind me and I didn't get a chance to turn around to check what it was before I felt arms wrap around me in a hug from behind. My eyes widened.

"Hiya~" the mysterious someone said, and I immediately recognized the voice as Vaati's. He rested his head on my shoulder.

"… V-Vaati?" I asked, just to be sure. "You're back!"

"Yup~" Vaati ruffled my hair and took off my green cap, clutching it in his hand. He and walked around to be front of me. I saw him smiling and in his former human self, and he was… wearing… the Wishing Cap… that I thought was gone…

"Umm…" I sorted out my thoughts into words. "Why do you have the Wishing Cap?" Vaati smirked, and I shivered.

"VAATI! GET BACK HERE WITH THAT WISHING CAP AND CHANGE ME BACK!"

I sweatdropped as Vaati laughed. I looked behind me finally, and saw Ezlo in his old hat form. I missed that form…

"No chance, Master~" Vaati winked at him. "It was your mistake to recreate wishing Cap and not guard it a second time~"

"It was YOUR choice to steal it again!" Ezlo huffed as he hopped towards us.

"But…" Vaati sniffled. "I did it to see Link this time, not to take over the world…" he came back to this world to see me? I blushed, thinking of why he'd possibly want to see me again. Didn't he have other friends that he could hang with?

"Vaati…" Ezlo sighed. "If you promise to change me back RIGHT NOW, then I'll let you stay with Link as long as you want to." Vaati suddenly broke into a grin.

"Can I really!" he spoke as if he couldn't believe it, and I didn't doubt him. Ezlo probably REALLY wanted to get back to normal!

"Yes, now change me back!" Ezlo barked. Vaati sighed and held out a hand, showing his palm to Ezlo as it shown a bright white shine, and Ezlo was captivated in light as his form changed back to his original form. He hmphed.

"That's better." He turned around and walked back in the direction of a portal near the Minish Village. Vaati looked back at me, grinning.

"Soo… anything you wanna do?" Vaati stood on his heels and rocked back and forth a bit. That's one thing he hasn't lost… his girliness. It wasn't a bad thing, it was actually really cute- … I just thought that… why? My face went red just thinking of it. Vaati poked my face.

"Hey, you okay?" he asked. "Do you have a fever or something?"

"Wha?" I was still wandering in my thoughts. "Sorry, sorry! I don't think I Have a fever, no…" I blushed in embarrassment. Vaati only laughed.

"You're still shy~" Vaati said. I blinked. Where'd that come from? Since when was I shy around Vaati?

"How would you know if I was shy about anything?" I asked him. He only smiled at me.

"Because I'm a mage, silly~" he ruffled my hair again, which reminded me that he was still holding onto my hat. I sneakily reached out my hand, grabbed the cap, and placed it back on my head. He didn't seem to mind that I'd done that.

"How does that relate to you knowing that I'm shy?" I asked.

"Because I can sense your aura, being the mage that I am~" he smirked as he explained. I couldn't help but crack a smile at him.

"Sorry for all the questions, but… why did you want to come see me again?" I asked the question I'd wanted to ask him when I first realized he'd come back.

"Because I felt really lonely being away from my only friend in the whole world!" he stated in a tone as if it was obvious. I tilted my head at him.

"Don't you have minish friends that you can hang out with?" I asked. His happy expression fell and he looked at his feet.

"I… I don't have any friends there…" he nearly whispered. I felt a pang of sympathy for him as I closed the small space keeping us apart and hugged him tightly.

"Sorry, that was a bad question to ask…" I comforted him, trying to cheer him up before he cried, if he was even going to. I looked at me and blushed slightly.

Vaati's POV

His face is so close to mine… I thought as he looked at me with a sympathetic expression. I couldn't help the light blush that played on my face.

"I-it's fine…" I said, looking back down at his chest to hide the rest of my blush, hoping he hadn't noticed it.

"Um…" he placed a hand on the top of my head. "What do you want to do now that you're here?" I wanted to say something, but I didn't actually have anything to say.

"I… don't know," I admitted and smiled playfully. He giggled and poked my nose, causing my blush to act up again.

"we could go to my house," he suggested. I liked that idea, but I wasn't sure if his grandpa would like to see a villain walk into his house, so I looked up at Link desperately.

"What would your grandpa think?" I pointed out to him. He thought for a moment before looking at me again.

"He probably wouldn't like it too much," he sighed. "Can you use magic to change your form into something that doesn't look like you're evil?" I could tell by the tone of his voice that he didn't really like accusing my appearance of being evil, but I couldn't agree more that it looked downright creepy and villainous.

"I could," I responded. "But what form should I take?" I asked him. Being the uncreative person I was, I couldn't just randomly make up someone to act as.

"Maybe…" Link thought. "Maybe you could disguise yourself as Princess Zelda?"

"Disguise myself as a girl?" I rephrased his suggestion and blushed again. "What if I can't play the part properly? What if your grandpa thinks something's wrong with 'Zelda' and tells someone? What if he finds out that I'm an evil wind mage?" I blurted out numerous possibilities, and Link laughed.

"Okay, fine, not Zelda," he said. "Could you maybe just change your appearance a little bit? As in maybe changing your skin and hair color, your outfit maybe a little bit, something like that?" Link suggested again. I thought about it for a moment before trying out his suggestion. I warped my form into a more natural-looking one. I had changed my skin to a less pale-purple shade to a bit of a peach color, my hair was now black but in the same style it was before, and my outfit was identical, but minus the cape and the hat and the colors were themed with red and green instead of purple. I made the scar under my eye blend in with my skin, and my eye color was now a light shade of aqua. Link smiled.

"Who are you and what have you done with Vaati?" he laughed. I blinked.

"… Does that mean it's a good disguise?" I asked, and he nodded. I smiled.

"Should we leave now?" he asked and I nodded as he grabbed my hand and led me out of the forest and into the direction of his house through the fields and small cliffs. I blushed, only about half way through the trip realizing that he'd taken my hand. His skin was as soft as it looked, and I couldn't help but realize that his eyes sparkled slightly in the light of the sun.

"Grandpa! I'm home!" Link called as he opened the door to the house. Panic rose in my stomach, but I tried to act like I'd never been here before, looking around at a few things.

"Welcome home~" I heard his grandpa call back from a room to the right as Link closed the door and locked it behind him. I followed him into the room that his grandpa was in and he gave me a suspicious look, causing me to blush a bit.

"Who's that?" he asked Link. Link smiled and hooked arms with me, and my face heated up more.

"This is a friend that I met in town a few days ago!" Link made up an excuse, and his grandpa seemed to buy it. "His name is… Gufuu." Link lied. I mentally sighed. He was using my demon name to define my disguised form, and he knew that, but no one else had ever heard of my demon name, so it was safe to call me that. Link wasn't so creative with names, but again his grandpa smiled and looked at me.

"Nice to meet you then, Gufuu!" he said to me, and I smiled politely back to him.

"N-nice to meet you too," I replied, and Link walked towards the elderly man.

"Grandpa, is it fine if me and Gufuu go to my room for a while?" Link asked.

"That's fine, Link. Go ahead," he nodded to Link as Link grinned and walked back towards me, taking my hand again and heading out of the room and up the stairs. We arrived in a room with two beds and a small table in the corner in front of a window. I assumed this to be his room.

"You can drop your disguise now if you want," he told me, and I nodded and got rid of the disguise, returning to my old form. I took off my cape and draped it over the chair in front of the desk and sighed.

"It's so hot in here!" I stated and conjured up a hair elastic to tie up my hair into a ponytail… don't laugh, my hair is long enough to put into a ponytail and it's not only for girls!

"That's because it's hot outside and apparently, Mother Nature has forgotten about a cool breeze~" Link laughed and an idea popped into my head. I'm a wind mage! Why didn't I think of this sooner? I held my hands together, forming a cup with my hands, and Link watched curiously as a swirl of wind formed in my palms and the room instantly cooled down noticeably. Link's eyes widened and I smirked.

"Wow…" Link said. "That was awesome!" he laughed. I blushed at his amazement of such a simple spell for a wind mage. I used a small amount of wind to fix my hair, as it'd become a bit ruffled as of my previous spell, and I laid myself down on Link's bed.

"I'm tired…" I whined, and Link smiled. He slipped the bed sheets out from underneath me and spread them out on top of me. I blushed yet again.

"Then sleep," Link said as he smiled down at me. I nodded and smiled back at him as I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

I think this is a really bad idea. I just can't imagine the characters in this story ever acting this way, but hey, I'm a dummy~ :P

Please review and tell me what you think of this so far and if I should update soon!
