No, I haven't beaten Twilight Princess. I'd estimate that I've only gotten about half way through it, so if I make an error in the story I would appreciate being corrected. As long as it doesn't spoil me. Which reminds me...

Attention! This story might contain possible spoilers for a random part in the Twilight Princess game! If you don't wish to be spoiled, then don't read.

Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah. Zelda pwns all humankind, and I don't own it.

-Link and the Fleas-

Rather than taking the easy way and warping, Link decided to ride Epona to Kakariko Village to check out the new bombs in Barnes's shop. He figured that he might as well enjoy himself, since it seemed that he would have a lot of challenges and intensely cold temperatures ahead of him. It was a nice day, too. Bright sun, warm air, a strange itching in his arm, mood-fitting background music...

Wait, what was that about his arm? Confuzed, Link stopped Epona for a moment to take a look at his right forearm, which was now in major need of scratching. He wasn't bitten by any bugs recently, and those monsters in the Arbiter's Grounds didn't contain ithing poison, did they? So Link leaned his head in reeeeaaall close, and squinted reeeeaaall hard, and noticed a small black spot. On further inspection, that spot appeared to be... a flea?

"Midna," Link started to say, calling out the familiar Twili buddy from his shadow, "What does that little speck on my arm look like to you?" Out of pure disbelief, the young hero needed a second opinion.

Midna glanced at his arm and snorted. "Looks like a case of fleas to me," she responded, which was the answer that Link WASN'T hoping for, then continued to remark, "But how should I know?"

Link fell off his horse. "But... but... I'm a PERSON right now!" he stammered. For some reason, he couldn't fully manage to convince himself that the little black speck was, indeed, a flea, and decided to go into a panic attack instead. He quickly stood up, brushed himself off, and took off his glove. Then he shoved his hand in Midna's shadowy face. "SKIN, see?! SKIN!"

Midna just giggled a little more and shrugged. "Guess the bugs really like you or something," was all she said before disappearing once more into Link's shadow.

That didn't help his situation at all. Trying to desperately calm down, Link began searching his thoughts for a solution. It didn't take long before an idea came to him. "Bugs, huh? Agitha likes bugs. She'll be able to help, I know it!" he thought aloud, remembering the strange little blonde girl who wanted him to do all her work for her and collect golden bugs for some silly pretend ball. Hey, at least it's a thought, right? So Link gave himself a pat on the back for thinking of something and hopped back on Epona before proceding to ride to Hyrule Castle Town.

Short, I know. But eventually I might get off my lazy butt and update if I come up with an actual plot for this.
