Hi everyone! 2017's finally here! And I wanted to give this story as a gift. I'm not sure if I'll bother finishing it, but I can still see how far I can go. The Emperor's New Groove was one of my childhood all time favorites, so in honor of my favorite movie and favorite character (Midna), I bring the Twilight Princess' New Groove!

In this story, the Light Spirits of Hyrule had allowed the space between Hyrule and the Twilight Realm to disperse, therefore uniting the two kingdoms, and all people lived happily together in peace and harmony.

A new ruler had been chosen for the Twilight Realm. Midna, a young Twili princess who had just recently taken up the crown to rule over the kingdom of dusk. However, she was quite….full of herself.

Midna gently combed her hair for the day. As she was done, she tossed the small comb back into the jar, landing perfectly. She smiled confidently and treaded down the large hallway, making her way to the dining hall for breakfast.

As she arrived, she sat on a large chair with pillows galore. She snapped her fingers and a servant walked up with a plate of food in his hand, picking it up in a fork and putting it the young monarch's mouth.

Yup, Midna's breakfasts every morning.

As she finished, she snapped her fingers once more. Two servants came scurrying into the room, lifting Midna on their shoulders and rushing towards a large door, which they opened and put the princess down, bowing down low as they exited.

"Ah! Your Highness!" a short and plump twili said, nervously. "It is time for you to choose your groom."

Midna nodded. She was planned to marry and rule with a king by her side, but it didn't really bother her. As long as she had her luxury in the Palace of Twilight, some old husband wasn't going to annoy her.

"Let's take a good look…" Midna muttered as she hummed in thought as she examined the line of suitors in the room. "No, no, no…" she muttered. "Too unattractive…" Once she was done, the bachelors were stunned by the insults they were named by the young ruler.

Midna turned to the short twili and placed her hands on her hips in disappointment. "Is this honestly the best you can do?" she asked.

"W-Well yes.. I mean no!" the man stuttered. "I suppose I could…"

The Twilight Princess didn't even bother listening to what the old coot was blabbering about. What is he going on about? She thought to herself. He's like the thing that wouldn't shut up! Oh well, I suppose I can let him off easy. Just this once…

A young man clothed in a green tunic walked up the Twilight's Palace's steps. Apparently, he had an important mission to complete here. Or at least that's what the letter the princess had sent him wrote.

He stopped and tapped a guard nervously. "Um, hello. You see, perhaps you could show me a way to the throne room?" he timidly asked. He was the most sociable person on the face of the earth, but he tried, nonetheless.

"Why?" the guard loomed over him, ominously.

The young man gulped. "Y-You see, I got this summit-"

He was interrupted as the guard pointed a finger towards the main doors. "Inside, up the stairs and to your right. Just follow the signs." he huffed.

The young man blinked stupidly before dragging himself up the steps. "Oh..Thanks, a lot!" he said, as he gave a smile of gratitude as he walked in.

In the throne room, someone else sat on the large throne and it wasn't Midna. A tall figure with a bird-like mask hiding her face from the world, she was talking to a villager who was seemingly in need of help.

Cia, was the figure's name. The princess' royal advisor. Living proof that insanity can drive a person to some good heights. But not perfect.

"And why have you come here today?" Cia asked, her tone cold.

"We-Well your Highness, I mean Your Grace…" As the villager talked on, the figure on the throne paid no mind to his pleading words.

However, a young man next to her, smiled sweetly at the villager, signalling for him to not to be afraid. Nice as he might seem though, he was Cia's little assistant, Dark Link. He was quite a nice young man, but quite...immature.

Now, lately Cia has gotten this bad habit of trying to rule the kingdom behind Midna's back. And the Twilight Princess has caught notice of this quite some time ago. "It is no problem of mine if your family has…" Cia paused in thought before asking, "What was it again?"

The villager lifted his skinny index finger weakly and nervously. "Um, food?"

"Hah!" Cia let out a harsh laugh. "You really should have thought about that before becoming peasants!" she placed her chin on her hand. "We're done here. Take him away. Next!"

"B-But-!" the villager stopped on his tracks as two guards grabbed his arms harshly. "O-Okay..." he muttered sadly as he was pulled out of the room.

"Annoying little fella, ain't he?"

"Tell me about it…" Cia said, as her mask opened to reveal her true face, she rubbed her temples, in annoyance. But then she let out a loud shriek as she saw Midna casually leaning on the throne.

"Hello, Cia." Midna waved her hand, teasingly.

Cia immediately jumped from the throne and gave a nervous laugh. "Oh, your Highness!" Midna cleared her throat as she gestured towards her throne. The advisor giggled again as she wiped the unseen germs she had left on the seat.

"You were doing it again." Midna pointed her finger accusingly at her.

Cia straightened out her dress. "Doing? Doing what?"

"Doing my job." the Twilight Princess reminded. "I'm the princess, and you're the princess' advisor. Remember that?"

"Oh, but Your Highness, I was only dealing with meaningless peasant matters…"

Ugh, what is she wearing?! Midna thought to herself. What sort of style would you call this?! Especially those...she thought, specifically looking at her advisor's chest.

"Good thinking, Cia. What do ya say, Midna?" Dark Link asked, poking the princess a bit.

"Whoa! No touchy! No touchy! No touch!" Midna ordered, before a servant walked into the room.

"Um, Your Highness. The Hero of Hyrule has arrived."

Midna smiled. "Oh great! Send him in!" she quickly glanced at Cia. "Oh by the way, you're fired."

Cia gave a bewildered stare. "Fired?! What do you mean fired?"

"Um, how else can I say this? You're being let go, we're going in a different direction…" the Twili shrugged. "Take your pick. I have more."

Cia breathed a few deep breaths before collapsing on the throne. She shook her head and regained her composure. "B-But, Your Highness," she said with a pleading look. "I have been nothing but loyal to the realm for….many, many years!"

"Hey, everybody hits their limit! You just hit yours fifty years ago." Midna smirked. "Now, who's in my chair?" she teased, causing Cia to cross her arms, in a stubborn mood.

Dark Link perked up. "Ooh! I know! Cia. Cia's in your chair, right?'

The ruler smiled. "Very good, Darky! Here's a snack!" she said, throwing a biscuit.

"Got it!" Dark Link tried to catch the snack, but only tripped, clumsily as he did.

Midna's attention returned to Cia. "Okay, you heard the man! Up, up!"

Cia begrudgingly got up from the throne, grumbling furiously as she walked away. The Twilight princess sighed in relief as she sat on the throne once again. "Now, bring him in, dear!"

In response, a young man walked in, nervously. "He-Hello, your Highness."

"There you are! My dear little hero!"

The man raised an eyebrow at the princess' demeanor. "Um, Link. Listen, I got this letter…"

"Link," Midna smiled, walking down the steps of her throne platform. "You are just the man, I want to see."

Link gave her a questioned look. "I am?"

"Word on the street says, that you can fix my problem." she finally made her way to the bottom of the steps. "You can fix my problem, right?"

"Sure, I'll do what I can!" Link gave an unsure smile.

"Good, good. That's exactly what I wanted to hear." Midna said, walking the hero out into a different room. "Are you aware of how important Hyrule is to the Twilight Realm?"

Link paused. "Yes, I know that most crops and resources are exported here…" he stopped as Midna showed him a seemingly model of Hyrule Castle Town. "The town?"

"Hm, that's a nice little castle you got up there? Huh?" she nudged him, playfully.

"Yeah, I heard that the Royal Family has lived in that castle for over three generations."

Midna gave a surprised look. "Well, it'll get better because, boom!" she bellowed as the model was suddenly shrouded by twilit clouds with black pixels flying in the air. "Say hello, to your new Hyrule!"

"Wh-What?" Link asked, apparently confused.

The princess gave an excited look. "Don't you get it? It's my birthday gift to my kingdom! I'm so generous!"

The hero shook his head, incredulously. "I-I don't understand how this could happen…"

"Well, let me put it straight. Tomorrow, when I give the word, your kingdom will be shrouded in Twilight, so it can make way for us!" she walked over and leaned down towards the hero. "So, if I were you, I'd tell everybody about this little, renovation."

"He-Hey, you can't just-!" Link was interrupted as two guards grabbed his arms tightly.

Midna stopped at the sudden protest and calmly walked over to the teenager. "When I give the word, your little town will be on its merry way. And so should you! Bye!" she said, waving as the guards began pulling Link out of the palace.
