Chapter One: A Party Gone Wrong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kris awoke late in the autumn afternoon. He blinked and rubbed the sleep from his eyes, as the sun invaded his room. Feeling sore from last night's fight and tussle with Heero, he began to regret what he had said to her about being attractive to some of the guys at her school.
"Next time," he muttered, brushing back his dusty blonde hair, "I'll keep my mouth shut." He stood up and walked away from his futon and across the hall to Heero's room. Scanning the sign ridden door for a note, which she usually left him incase she had gone somewhere, he saw none. Knocking carefully, and slipping his hand on the doorknob, he quietly opened the door.
"Heero?" he called softly, keeping his eyes shut, incase she was changing. "You in here?"
"No." snapped some one from within the room. "I fell through a dimensional warp hole and died. Of course I'm in here." Kris peeked through his fingers to see Heero standing in front of him, dressed in her pajamas. Heero looked almost exactly like Kris, except she was an eighth of an inch shorter than he was, and Heero had long blonde hair that extended down her back, which was kept in a traditional braid.
"So, where is everybody?" he asked, uncovering his eyes, and yawning.
"Trip to another state." Heero answered, shutting the door behind Kris, as he flopped on to the bottom bunk of the bunk bed Heero had in her room. "I think it was either Alabama or Tennessee or someplace close by. Everybody is gone except Brother Mark. Sister Mary left him in charge, which was a mistake on her part." Heero jumped on to the top bunk, and stretched out. "Man, we stayed up so late last night. What time did we go to bed?"
"We didn't." answered Kris, muffled by the mattress he planted his face into. "We passed out from too much caffeine, and apparently Brother Mark dragged our bodies upstairs and threw them on the bed. Thankfully we were passed out for all of this." Heero sighed.
"He is strong for a man in his late forties, early fifties." Heero said absently. "Maybe he'll let us have the party today." Kris suddenly sprang to life.
"Ya think he will?" He asked, poking his head up from the bottom bunk. "Sister Mary wasn't too excited about the idea of us having a party with him around."
"Yeah," agreed Heero, "She once told me that he's a religious teenager stuck in a fifty year old monk's body. It's like he's never grown up in some mental areas." Kris snorted with agreement.
"He's obsessed with cars. He can fix one blindfolded while having someone else do the work."
"Actually, he did that with me once." Said Heero. "Any ways, getting off that topic," she said, "Whom do we have to call before we can get this thing set up?"
"Just to make sure they're coming?" asked Kris. Heero nodded. "Uh, Anthony, Nick, Patrick, Danielle, Will, um… I think that's it." Heero shook her head.
"There were more people. Paul, and Adam." Heero pondered for a minute. "Yeah, that's it."
"That's everybody?!" Kris half-shouted. "Well damn. We're going to have a small-ass party."
"No shit Sherlock." Snapped Heero.
"Up yours, Watson." Kris quipped, giving her the bird. Heero gaped at him
"You're dead." She said, lowly. Kris dashed out the door, and down the hall, with Heero right on his tail. "You can run, but you can't hide little man!" She yelled, tearing down the stairs after him.
Hours later, Heero and Kris plopped down, tired from moving all the furniture in the basement to suite the needs of the party. Heero brushed her wild blonde hair out of her face as Brother Mark sat down beside her.
"Ya know what?" he said, rubbing his crew-cut brown hair. "I think this turned out better than I expected. And, it was really easy." Kris snorted.
"Yeah," he agreed, "considering you didn't move a couch and two recliners that weighed five tons, a glass coffee table down the stairs which, might I add, was strewn with paint cans, and poor Heero and myself had to navigate around. So yeah, it was easy for you."
"Hey!" snapped Brother Mark. "I am an old man."
"You don't qualify until you're sixty." Sighed Heero. Brother Mark gaped at her in disbelief.
"I'm genuinely hurt Heero Tenchi Relina Yuy."
"I say it all the time to the nuns. You're no different."
"So, you're calling him a woman?" asked Kris. Heero mearly glared at him, ready to pounce on him, but the call of the doorbell stopped her. Brother Mark leaped up from his seat.
"I've got it!" he said, bounding up the stairs, followed by Kris. Heero sulked after him, genuinely tired from all the heavy lifting and from running up and down the stairs for snacks and drinks. "Why it's Anthony and Company!" she heard Brother Mark announce happily. "Come on in guys!" She heard vague remarks of "How's your car?" and "Can I have it in your will?" but Heero just rolled her eyes, knowing what they were all invited for.
"Hey Heero!" some one called from the top of the stairs. She looked up to see Anthony, Will, and Paul all standing at the top of the stairs, grinning broadly. Anthony was a big guy, around 300 lbs. or so, with short, wavy brown hair. Will and Paul on the other hand, both looked like they could be 95 lbs. soaking wet. Paul was a little shorter than Will, with short black hair, neatly parted on the side, while Will had dusty brown hair also neatly parted on the side. "Long time, no see buddy." Heero smiled and turned back around down the stairs.
"Glad to see you guys made it in once piece." She said, stepping quickly down the stairs, avoiding the paint cans. "Sorry about the cans. We had to repaint the outside of the barn, 'cause Sister Mary thought it was looking a bit outta shape and the old paint was peeling."
"Aw," said Will, "we need service hours for confirmation. You could have called."
"We painted it about a month before the confirmation retreat Will." Heero said to his disappointment.
"Crap." He said. Heero soon stepped off of the landing at the bottom of the stairs, and stepped in to her "play room".
"Damn." Said Paul, looking around surprised. "It didn't look like that last time I was here." Heero smiled once more.
"We did sort of a 'Trading SpacesÒ ' episode in here." She said. "Only, Nick and Patrick helped out with the painting on the walls. The rest was done by Kris, Sister Mary, Brother Mark, and I." The room had black walls, with a dark purple painted on the trim, and different colored stars painted on the walls. The Carpet was white with little dragons and birds of all sorts dotting its surface. A projector sat at the back of the room, while opposing it was a large outlined white box. Just under the box was a little cabinet containing a VCR, DVD player, GameCubeÒ , and a CD player. The furniture in the room was simple; a couple of beanbags, some blow-up chairs, two old up-holstered recliners with a matching couch, a glass top coffee table, and a bar near the stairs, complete with mini-fridge, ice cooler, and cold sodas. The lighting was mostly dim lamps, but there were brighter lights.
"Bathroom is upstairs." Announced Kris, skipping down the stairs with Danielle, Nick, and Patrick following. Danielle was about Heero's height, with dusty brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing a pair of dark rimmed glasses that were just for show. Patrick was slightly taller than her, with a darker hair color, and also sporting glasses, only his were prescription and had thinner frames. Nick, the tallest of the group, had dusty blonde hair and sporting thin-framed glasses.
"Whoa." Said Patrick Stopping at the bottom of the stairs. "How long did it take you guys to get it like this?"
"Uh, two weeks or so, with out professional help." Said Kris, looking genuinely pleased with everybody's reaction so far.
"Dang." Said Danielle. "I would love for this to be my room. Hey Heero, can I come and live with you?" Heero laughed as every one started to agree.
"Yeah," laughed Anthony, "that's what I was about to say."
"Hell." Said Nick. "I wouldn't mind camping out here for a few days."
"Hell no." said Kris. "This is our room, and the only place we can go to relax, and we're not about to give that up just yet. Right Heero?" Heero nodded.
"C'mon everybody, let's let the party begin!" said Heero, jumping over to the projector, and turning it on to, "Soul Caliber: 2Ò ".
Two hours later, the characters on the screen fighting each other both fell out of the ring.
"Double knock out!" declared the announcer happily, as the words flashed on the screen. Seconds later, the two characters were back on the screen, their health meters refilled to the maxim amount. Danielle looked at the screen unfazed, and then looked at her opponent, Heero, who was anxiously waiting for the announcer to say 'go', until Danielle hit the 'start' button on the controller.
"How many times is that?" She asked, turning around to Anthony, a religious follower of every battle, and score keeper.
"Fourth time, I think." He looked at the pad resting on his stomach. "Yeah, fourth time."
"Okay then," she turned to Heero, who was lying on the floor, looking at the ceiling, "Heero you are not allowed to use that move ever again." She said, pointing sternly. Heero snorted and smile.
"Okay, I give. I won't use that move ever again, if you promise not to use the move you did on me with Sung Mina while I'm down near the edge. That was not cool home slice." Will laughed at the phrase 'home slice'.
"Hey!" snapped Nick. "She took that off of me! I said it first, not her! Me, me, me, me!"
"Picky, picky." Snapped Heero, pulling back her hair, and styling it into her traditional braid. "Any ways, Danielle, we have a fight to finish."
"Oh yeah!" said Danielle, pick up the controller, and un-pausing the game.
"Look woman," said Nick, looking over at Heero over the top of his glasses.
"Piss off." She snapped, focusing on the game. Currently, Heero's character was winning. Then, Danielle, with Link, shot an arrow at Yoshimitsu, Heero's character, and killed her.
"Knock out!" the game announcer cried. "Link wins!" On the screen, Link powered up his soul charge and spun around the screen, taunting the loser. Then the results from all the battles fought came onscreen. Overall, it was a tie game.
"Ah." Sighed a victorious Danielle. "Who else wants to play?" Every one let out a collective groan and eye roll at the thought of playing against each other again.
"Let's let Heero play 'Ocarina of Time'!" Kris volunteered. "She never did finish getting past the shadow temple." Heero sighed, saving the data from the game, and turning off the GameCube. Suddenly, Brother Mark bounded down the stairs, looking quite worried.
"I just got off the phone with Sister Mary," he panted, "and it sounds like there is a huge storm coming down this way. They may have to stay another night where they are, and they'll be coming home as soon as the storm passes. Turn on the Weather Channel for me." Kris grabbed the remote and hit 32 and the enter button.
"And now we go to our storm tracker, Kent. Kent, what have you got for us tonight?" the female announcer asked.
"Well," said Kent, standing next to a large map of Georgia, "We have this really big storm brewing here in Georgia, and it looks like a nasty one indeed. Power lines are down, emergency crews are unable to respond due to telephone lines being knocked down, and trees are all over the place. I tell ya, it looks almost like a tornado rather than a storm. Be sure to watch out in these areas." The picture changed to list of counties that were in the path of the storm. Cobb County, where they were, was one of them. "If you are in one of these areas, please move to safer ground. We are getting warnings of flash flooding, so stay away from any creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes. Be careful if you are driving some where tonight, there is going to be golf ball size hail and four to six inches of rain. Again, stay off the roads at all costs. Back to you Jenny." He smiled to the camera, and Heero flicked the projector back to video one for the GameCube.
"You know the drill Heero." Said Brother Mark, turning to leave. Heero nodded.
"First sign of lightning or first thunder clap, we turn off everything down here and move upstairs and do something constructive."
"Like?" He asked.
"A card castle, reading a book, or talking to each other." Added Kris. Brother Mark nodded, and left the room.
"You guys have a system for this?" asked Danielle. Heero nodded.
"What about the horses in the barn?" asked Paul.
"The barn is for spring and summer. Beneath the whole orphanage is another barn with re-enforced steel and concrete floors, walls, and ceilings for fall and winter. The Saturday before school starts back, all the horses get moved into the second barn so they won't freeze."
"Oh." Said Will.
"Any ways, whose up for seeing me die a few hundred times fighting Bongo-Bongo?" Heero asked happily. Kris raised his hand. "Other than Kris?"
"Aw hell, why not?" Nick said raising his hand and Patrick's also.
Outside, the storm was rapidly moving in on the orphanage. Lightning dashed across the sky, illuminating the darkness. Rain fell lightly at first, then hard like a rain of rusted nails. The thunder's roar was enough to rival that of a dragon's roar, sending birds and other small animals to the safety of burrows in the ground or bushes close to the ground. But for now, the thunder was a low rumble, and the lightning was as soft as a candle. The storm was turning into a panther waiting for the right moment to strike at its unsuspecting prey.
Inside, Danielle looked warily out the window, looking for signs of the storm.
"Any thing?" asked Anthony, giving her a glass of water. Danielle shook her head.
"Nothing yet." She took a sip from the glass. "But this is creeping me out and scaring me. I think we all are going to be spending the night here." Anthony nodded in agreement.
"But hey, at least they have extra rooms here." He said patting her on the back.
"And clothes." Said Kris walking up with a plate of chicken nuggets. "We have stuff to suite practically every need. After all, this is an orphanage." Kris smiled warmly at them. Then leaving Anthony with the plate of nuggets, he walked away to help Heero who was having trouble with the projector.
"I swear it was working fine two seconds ago." She said, moving the wires behind the projector.
"Way to go genius," snapped Nick, "you broke the projector. That takes talent, a whole lot of talent. Is the GameCube even on?"
"I'm just a talented person then aren't I?" she quipped back. "Yes it is on. The friggin' projector won't display the picture, for some reason unknown. God I am talented." She kicked the projector, and walked over to the little cabinet holding the GameCube, VCR, and DVD player.
"Yeah," said Paul, joining the group, "lemme tell ya."
"You shut it. I don't need this from everybody."
"Yeah you do!" said Will bounding over. "You need every bit you can get." Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker. "Uh, Heero? What's going on?" Heero shook her head in confusion. She grabbed a flashlight, and turned it on, but it started to do the same thing as the lights.
"Kris?" asked Heero in urgency.
"Not me!" he shouted back, dashing for the light switch. He hit the switch several times with his fist, but nothing changed.
"Look outside!" shouted Danielle. Heero looked out the window just in time to see a large white flash hit the window and pass through it. The flash of light passed by everyone and hit the white box painted on the wall, causing it to suddenly turn in to a warp hole to places unknown. "What the hell?" She asked, walking towards the glowing warp hole in the wall. Heero opened her mouth to respond, but never did get the chance to, because the newly opened warp hole began to suck every one inside of it. The last thing anybody heard was the frightened screams of their companions.
Paul woke up in a slightly soft bed; his head resting on what felt like a pillow made with leaves. Outside, birds were chirping a happy tune filling the air with music. Groggily he sat up in the bed to figure out what was going on. The room he was in was rather large and looked like a hollowed out tree.
'Hollowed out tree?' he thought to himself. 'I thought I was in an orphanage.' He observed the room a bit more. 'Jugs? There are jugs in the room? This is psycho.' Behind him, someone else was stirring. He turned around to find Will waking up from the bed behind him. Will gazed at him groggily.
"Where are we?" he asked, yawning. Paul shrugged his shoulders.
"Wish I knew. Right now we're in a hollowed out tree, sleeping in hollowed out logs with mattresses. I'd like to know what the hell is going on and where the hell we are." Will nodded with agreement, then quickly regretted it.
"Ow. It feels like I have a really bad hangover." He said, rubbing the back of his head. Paul laughed lightly, but soon felt the same way.
"Damn, that hurts." He walked over towards the door and looked out side. It was much different than when he last looked. "Hey Will," he called, "come take a look out side." Will stood up, and walked towards the door slowly, and looked out side. It was broad daylight, but there were fireflies flying around. The grass was lush and green, and it felt more like summer, rather than fall or winter. "This is creepy." Said Paul, after along silence between them.
"Dude!" said Will, half-shouting, "this looks like the Kokiri Village from 'Ocarina of Time'! This is so damn freaky!" Paul looked around for a bit.
"Ya know what?" he said. "You're right. This is the Kokiri Village from 'Ocarina of Time'. We musta jumped into the game somehow." Will looked at him in disbelieve.
"That is physically impossible." Said Will. "A worm hole could not have been opened up by a bolt of lightning. The odds are astronomically against that happening." Paul looked at him.
"But he is right." Said a voice down below. Will and Paul looked down to see Anthony, Nick, and Patrick standing at the bottom of the ladder leading up to the tree house. "We are in the Kokiri Forest." Nick said with a strait face. Will and Paul climbed down the ladder and met the rest of the gang there.
"Eventually we'll be visited by Navi." Said Patrick, watching the sky for the little ball of light.
"Let's shove her in a jug." Suggest Paul. Everyone laughed at Paul, then agreed.
"She's highly annoying any ways, and we all know what to do right?" Every one nodded.
"HEY!" Shouted a high-pitched voice coming from above. "THE GREAT DEKU TREE HAS SENT ME TO FIND YOU! HE REQUESTS YOUR PRECANCE, SO PLEASE COME WITH ME!"
"Jug time?" Patrick suggested.
Danielle looked around at her surroundings, as she sat up from the bed she was in. A large wooden room with three beds, two tall dressers, some jugs in the room, and a table with three places set.
'Whoa. What is going on?' she looked around for any sign of life, but saw none. 'Everybody else must be waiting outside for me. I wonder what happened after that lighting bolt hit?' she stood up, from the bed and immediately noticed that something was different about her. She looked down to find that she wasn't wearing the outfit that she was wearing to the party. 'What the hell?' she thought. She examined her self as best she could, but it was no use. Something was definitely wrong, and she needed to talk to Heero, and fast.
"Malon, I see yer up." Danielle wheeled around to be facing a man slightly taller than she was that looked like a fat version of Mario, only his hair was pulled back in to a pony tail and his sideburns connected to his mustache. "Feelin' better from the bug that you got?"
"Ingo?" she asked. "Who's Ingo and Malon?" the man laughed a hearty laugh.
"Yer Malon." He said, wiping a tear from his eye. "But I guess that flu bug or whatever it was that you caught wiped yer mem'ry." He smiled warmly at her. "I'm yer pa, Talon; yer Malon, my only daughter; and Ingo is the farm hand that tends to the horses. Yer currently at the Lon-Lon Ranch, where we raise the best horses an cows. The horses are sold to they Hylian noblemen and ladies, while the cows provide refreshing milk the can replenish yer strength." Danielle gave Talon a confused look, but Talon smiled back at her. "It'll all come back to you in a few days or so.
"Princess?" some one called softly in Heero's ear. "Princess, are you up yet?" Heero muttered something, and rolled over. "Princess," said the voice more sternly, "if you don't get up right now, I will be forced to use brute force to get you out of that bed."
"Try me." Heero muttered through the comfy pillow her head was on.
"Fine." Snapped the voice. Suddenly, Heero found herself staring into the bright sunlight.
"Gah!" whined Heero. "Next time warn me before you go an open the god-forsaken blinds." Heero sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"I'm sorry princess, but you need to get up. We have dignitaries arriving." Heero's brain skidded to a halt.
'Dignitaries?' she thought. 'Since when have there been dignitaries coming to this rat trap?' Heero opened her eyes to be staring into a large room, with stone walls hung with paintings of people she never knew, tapestries of places she never went, and a king size bed with satin sheets and goose feather pillows.
"Where am I?" she asked in alarm, sitting up.
"You," said a voice to the right of her, "are in Hyrule Castle, and you happen to be a princess who needs to get up and get dressed so she can greet the visiting dignitaries." Heero looked to her right and found herself face to face with a tall, tan woman with pointing ears and silver markings near her eyes, wearing metal breast plating and black spandex shorts. At her side hung a dagger tightly wrapped around her waist and she had her hair pulled back into a short ponytail.
"Impa?" Breathed Heero. Impa nodded and smiled.
"At least you didn't lose all of your memory during the night." She mused. "Now, here is the dress your father has requested that you were today to greet Lord Ganondorf." She held up a white dress with a pink under shirt.
'Lord Ganondorf?' thought Heero.
"Since when has he been a lord?" she mumbled.
"Since he was born." Answered Impa. "Now you, up and out of bed, and get dressed." Obediently, Heero slid out of the bed, and went to get dressed, when there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" Impa asked mechanically.
"I need to speak with Princess Zelda at her father's request." Said the muffled voice. Impa walked over, unlocked the door and opened it. Heero immediately recognized Kris, even thought he was dressed a solider.
"Make it quick." Said Impa, stepping out of the room. Once the door was shut, Kris immediately relaxed.
"Heero, something has gone wrong." He said in a panic. "We're in 'Ocarina of Time', and everybody that was down stairs at the time is somewhere else and worst of all, they think I'm a solider in training." He began to pace franticly. "I'm not a solider, I am a wizard that's been disowned by the magical community. Heero, tell me what to do!" he begged. Heero thought for a moment.
"Play it out." Kris looked surprised. "Do what they tell you to do. You are who they say you are, and if they say you can fly, then you can fly. Don't tell them other wise." Kris nodded slowly. "Anything else?"
"No. That's it except the visiting dignitary will be here any minute, so I'd hurry and get dressed." Heero nodded.
"Be sure to tell Impa the message, okay?" Kris nodded, and turned to leave. "And Kris?" he turned back around. "Tell your supervisor that I request, no, that you are going to be my personal guard while the dignitary is here. I have suspicions about what is going to happen."
