Chapter One: The Subrosian Market
Meeka glared at the strangely dressed boy before looking at the…. thing he was trying to pay her with, before looking at him suspiciously once more.
"You're kidding me right?" she asked, waiting for him to break out laughing or some such thing.
"No…." responded Link feeling as though he was missing some important feature. "What's wrong with my rupees?" he questioned before holding one of them up to the light to see if it was a copy. He'd heard about a group of rouge Cukemans who'd been suppose ably making flawed copies. He hadn't believed it at the time though.
(A/N- Just cause you get the monsters mixed up a lot, like me, Cukemans are the green pea type things that if you hit with you're sword electrify you, altered by mystery seeds. They tend to spout information, I'll leave it up to you weather to deem it useful or not)
Meeka looked at the boy before her once again. "Well, there might be anything wrong with your….. Rupees is it? But I won't accept them."
Link stared at the short Subrosian before him in utter shock. He'd spent hours cutting down grass to get them; he'd have to check out this copying thing. Even though she stood on a stool behind the counter of the Subrosian Market she was still a good four inches shorter than him so perhaps she wasn't before him at all, more like below him. Despite this, the feisty…. Err woman? stared at Link with her big sorrowful eyes from beneath her dark green robe.
"Why not?" Link inquired, he really did want the big bomb bag that was being sold.
"Because I only accept Ore chunks, and seeds," she explained impatiently, wondering if she could somehow include scent seeds in the price. They tasted amazing in lava bread.
A look of understanding lit Link's face. 'Finally,' Meeka thought to herself, it seemed this stranger had finally clued in.
"Okay!" Link chirped before dropping the bomb bag hastily and dashing, rather quickly, out of the shop. Meeka growled in frustration as she replaced the bomb bag back onto the shelf.
It had been a tiring month. Firstly the "temple" had landed in Subrosia causing chaos. It had sufficiently flattened her house and many other's, not to mention the miner's work schedule had been ruined. It was a pure chance of luck that everyone had ran away from the falling building quick enough to avoid injury. The silver lining on it though was that she'd gotten a flood of new items to sell. Even if she had no idea what they could possible be used for. And it had been fun to come up with completely random names for them.
Then there was this boy stranger in a tunic and weird hat. Not to mention his pointy ears. He'd showed up one day causing the entire community to just about bubble over with gossip. This was the first time she'd seen him up close and he'd seemed harmless enough.
Just then the boy ran back through the door leaving it open behind him, his blonde hair with clumps of dirt matted in its length. He even carried a shovel. A particularly muddy one at that.
"I GOT THEM!" Link sang happily. His large brilliant and childish smile made Meeka feel herself reluctantly warm up to him; it was against the Subrosian nature to be cold to anyone.
He then proceeded to dump an armful of ore chunks on the desk, waiting patiently while Meeka counted up the total.
"Alright," Meeka sighed when she'd done the math. The boy was short about five ore chunks but looking up at his hopeful features made her mentally lower the price. (A/N: I know in the game Link Has to pay in Bombs but he's not going to here.)
"YAY!" cheered the boy as he scampered over to the crimson bomb bag. He then raised the item above his head looking extremely foolish.
The next thing Meeka was able to register was being thrown against the wall as it exploded. Well that was certainly an interesting reaction.
Dolphindreamer- Hi everyone, this is my first ever Fan Fic. So try to be kind. I've always liked the Subrosians, they were always one of the bonuses of playing the Oracle of Seasons. I'm currently re-playing it now, so I can wander around Subrosia for ideas. If this chapter doesn't go over well I'll just leave it as this one. Well I hope you liked it PLEASE review. Thanks for your time! Keep smiling!
Oh and before I forget The legend of Zelda and all it's characters are Nintendos. Not mine. THX!
