Chapter 2

Midna was bored.

Being Princess of the Twilight Realm had its perks (free food was one of them) but it came with the price of depressing loneliness. She thought back to the Twilight Invasion which spawned an encounter with her best friend and pet wolf…Link.

She heard her bedroom door open and she saw her advisor, Zant-Once mentally unstable usurer turned faithful advisor and even a friend. He looked worried.

"Midna?" he asked. "Are you okay? You've been so lonely lately."

"I don't care."

"I do." Zant explains. He sat beside her and then suggests "Maybe we should go out and do something?"

"Where?" The lonesome princess asked "We're gotten hammered at every pub in the Twilight Realm! We've even done the World's End thing."

Zant nods and then suggests "Maybe we should go to the Light Realm?"

"HOW?!" Midna wails "I broke the mirror."

"It's been fixed."

"Sure it has. I would have been told."

"It's supposed to be a secret…but I had it reconstructed."

"How did you-"Midna asks. She then slowly realises. "YOU READ MY DIARY!"

Zant nods shamelessly. He laughs.

The pair walked through the aging corridors through the castle; they started talking to each other, about things. They reached an empty room with a single object, a reconstructed Mirror of Twilight.

"I'm not going to ask how you did this Zantina." Midna explains "But why?"

"It's the 2 year anniversary of the Twilight Invasion today."

"Oh, yeah." Midna says tiredly. "Let's go."

As the Twilight Princess finishes her sentence, the familiar portal begins to materialise in front of them.

"Zantina?" She asks her friend.

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

The pair approaches the portal and slowly walk up the dark stairwell. Midna sighs.

"What if Hyrule is different?"

"It's only has been two years Midna."

"Yeah. Anything could happen."

The pair walked through the portal, and was greeted by a bird.

Not just any bird.

A huge, ride- able bird, It was a burnt ash color and didn't look very friendly.

"What the hell is that?!" Midna screamed. The rider-a ginger boy with a pompadour forced into his hair.- stared at her.

"It's a loftwing." He explains. "You're not from around here. Are you?"

"NOOOOO." Midna and Zant said sarcastically. The boy looked confused.

"Why are you blue? In fact, where did you come from?"

Midna sighs. "Are you aliens?" The boy asks. Zant cracks up in laughter.

"No. We're not." Midna explains "We're citizens from the Twilight Realm. Visitors, tourists."

"Oh, sweet!" The boy says happily "Welcome to GrooseLand!"

"Say What now?!"

"Grooseland." The boy repeats.

"I swear, this area was once-" Midna corrects

"You're crazy lady!" The boy screams "This place has always been-"

"Groose!" an angry, feminine voice screams. "Stop harassing these visitors!" The girl stops ranting, and stares at Minda. "Midna?" She asks.

"Do I know you?" Midna asks.

"It's me! Zelda!"

"You're blonde."

"I used a fairy to help me dye it."

"It looks nice."

"Who's you're friend?" Zelda asks her re-united friend.

"Zant." Zelda stares blankly.

"Is this the same twili bastard who took over your kingdom, turned you into an imp and left you for dead?"

"He had serious emotional issues. I haven't got time to explain it to you now."

"Wait." Groose-The pompadour boy- asks "The girl is royalty?!" Midna nods happily. Groose's pale, stern, cheeks have flooded with red embarrassment.

"How are you, Zant?" Zelda asks Midna's companion. He smiles.

"I'm okay." Zant says "You, Zelda?"

"I'm good."

"Where's Link?" Midna asks

"No idea," Zelda admits. "I can't keep up with him!"

"I think he's killing cuccoos."

"What are cuccoos?" The visitors ask.

"Fluffy things that lay eggs," Groose explains. "They rage quit issues of you kill one of them in a flock."

"Since when was murder classed as rage quitting?!" Zelda enquires.

"Since, now."

"Cuccoos KILL?!" Midna questions, the Hyrulian pair nod. "Okay… Can you tell me where Link would be?"

"Anywhere with Cuccoos." Groose explains

"Thanks for the advice." Midna rolls her eyes and storms off.
