As far back as Ivan could remember, he had been best friends with Jin, Jan and Jun-Roberto, or Jun for short. Together they formed a group called the Killer Bees. They would continuously cause trouble for the people of Windfall Island, especially their teacher, Mrs. Marie, but that was three years ago. Ever since Link, the Hero of Winds, had confronted them and brought peace to Great Sea, well, they'd changed.
They weren't perfect, but they'd improved. They were going to school and being more polite. Every once in a while they would skip class or not finish their homework. It was hardest for Jan because he had never had an educational experience, so he and the other boys would often visit Mila when she was on her break from working at Zunari's stand. Mila had been tutored when she was wealthy and was actually quite smart. This was where the boys were going now, to visit Mila. Mrs. Marie had given them some very difficult math problems and they needed help. Mila was eating her lunch by Zunari's stand when the boys arrived.
"Hoy Mila, you look lovely today!" Ivan greeted. Mila knew that with her tattered dress and messy hair, this was not the case. "Show me the math," she answered. The boys didn't hesitate and shoved their books in Mila's face.
"Okay, okay! One at a time, please!" When they backed off, she turned to Jan, "You first, because you can hardly read. The rest of you should at least try to do it yourselves while you're waiting." The blue haired boy sat next to Mila with his math book. "By the way," Mila commented, "I overheard Zunari talking with a merchant from Labrynna, and you may want to lock your doors."
Ivan looked up, "Is this about the whole war thing?"
Mila nodded, "The merchant said that the border to Labrynna's been closed off, that means there's no more trades between our country and theirs. They're planning something."
"What makes you so sure?" Jin asked.
Mila thought for a moment, "I really don't know. Ever since Link helped me see the error in my ways, I've felt different. At first I thought it was just me turning over a new leaf, but… I don't know. I feel like something's missing."
"I feel like something's missing too. The answer to question three, and it's definitely not in my brain!" Jun remarked. Everyone, even Mila, laughed at that one.
"42," Mila answered.
"Thanks," Jun said and wrote it down.
"Hoy, guys!" everyone turned around. There stood Maggie, elegantly dressed, with a basket in her hands. "I made you all cookies!" She handed the basket to Mila. Even though she was now rich, Maggie remained nice. The same couldn't be said for her father. She and Mila became best of friends, but her father didn't allow her to "converse with common street urchins," as he put it. This was why Maggie left as soon as she handed Mila the cookies, but the children understood. There was one more problem; someone had to test the cookies. Maggie wasn't exactly a good cook, although they'd never tell her that. Everyone looked at Jan.
"…Okay, I'll do it." He took a bite of one of Maggie's cookies and looked as if he'd just had three doses of Blue Potion.

Ivan thought about what Mila said as he walked home, "The merchant said that the border to Labrynna's been closed off, that means there's no more trades between our country and theirs. They're planning something." People had been worrying that Labrynna was going to start a war with Great Sea for a while now. Link had just saved the world from destruction and the people just want to destroy themselves anyway.
Link. The thought of him brought back something else Mila had said, "Ever since Link helped me see the error in my ways, I've felt different. At first I thought it was just me turning over a new leaf, but… I don't know. I feel like something's missing." Ivan didn't say anything then, but he'd felt the same way. After Link had set him straight, he always felt a certain emptiness that he couldn't explain. Whether Jin, Jan and Jun, who were as bad as him then felt that way now, he didn't know. What he did know was that Mila was right. Labrynna was planning something; why else would they close their borders? He hoped it wasn't war. "It's nothing," he told himself, "Nothing's gonna happen." He knew this was a lie. Something was going to happen. Sure enough, just as he had closed the door to his house, a war-ship was nearing the shores of the peaceful Windfall Island.
