...Read the story, I've got nothing.

"Ugh...not even sunrise yet...I guess I should get up now..." Link stood up and felt the ears still on his head, and started to rip them off and throw them away along with the tail and collar.

"Carnival tonight, I'm surprised I fell asleep in the afternoon and now it's...4 am!?" Link picked up the alarm clock to see if it was running correctly, which it was.

"I just fell asleep...why did I again?" He tried to remember yesterday and peered over to the window in the kitchen.

"...The flash from a camera! That's it! Someone was taking pictures...wait, isn't there a newspaper around here?" He walked outside and shivered from the cold autumn breeze in his pajamas.

"Might want to get dressed first." He went back in and shambled into his usual clothes and walked into the night.

"Alright, I'm about to see what I can do..." He stormed into the mountains and saw some lights atop of it.

"I've walked up this too many times..." After a prolonged groan, he raced up the mountain to the source of the light and peered into a window.

"Aha! Here we are..." Link watched the newspapers fall into a pile after being pressed and arranged, he walked closer to the front door and kicked it open.

"Alright, what's the big idea taking pictures of me?! All of you are just nosey and want to get people embarassed, and I've been embarassed enough lately!" Link set fire to one of the newspapers.

"H-Hey! What are you doing?!" One of the workers tried to stop the fire but it spread to the next one in the pile and slowly burned to a crisp.

"I'm enraged, personal lives don't exist anymore thanks to all of the reporters you have..." He picked up another newspaper and sliced it to shreads.

"Quit it! Do I have to call the guards?!"

"You don't have to, I just want the explanation of this..." He pointed to the front page and saw his picture.

"Well, we needed a good headline, and thought of this."

"You thought of using my profile? Oh no no no, you can't do that." He chuckled and threw the worker out the window and the others in the room looked at him.

"This is a private area! Leave now!"

"Oh sure, where's the leader?" Link grabbed the worker's collar and held them in the air.

"I-In there, just let me down." They gasped for air after being dropped to the floor.

"Thank you." Link nodded bursting through the door.

"May I help you?"

"Yeah, stop printing this newspaper."

"Oh let me guess, you work for Hatate?" She glared at him.

"I have no idea who that is, but I know one thing, you took pictures of me yesterday after getting pranked, and I really don't like them." Link blew all the papers into the air as gale force winds came through the windows.

"How...You don't even..."

"I just ask one simple request, for you to take out that little editorial and don't bother me again..." Link saw the chaos behind him and glared back.

"Not possible, already printed in today's paper." The wind died down a little.

"Not possible? Can't you just clip out that little section?"

"Kid, I can't do that, now go run back to your family or whatever, I'm busy!"

"F-Family?" Link wimpered.

"Yeah, your family, go home."

"What family? I don't have one..."

"Go home kid." She shooed him out the door.

"..." He clenched his fists and went back in again.

"Oh, you again, didn't I tell you t-" Link set fire to a full stack of papers.

"Why'd you do that?! Those cost a lot of money to make!"

"Loosing money? I don't care, I'm not letting you jumble my life up in lies!" The door shut tight with wind.

"Still how do you do that? May I take a few notes? Anyways, you aren't from around here, so where are you from?" She took out a pen and paper.

"...Sure, I can control wind because I can, and I'm not disclosing where I lived, now about that front page picture..." He stepped closer to the burnt ashes.

"Persistent aren't you? And I'm not removing it, a journalist has to publish the truth!"

"Well the truth is that my friend is pranking me, and thinks it's funny to put the outfit on me, pretty stupid I know." Link shurgged.

"Oh ok...but I still can't remove it from the paper, if it's published it's published..."

"...Fine...but next time, stay out of my life..." Link shut the door and walked slowly outside as the workers trembled when he walked by and exited the building.

"Ugh...worst morning ever..." Link groaned walking past another house that had a flickering light inside.

"I should go home...It's almost sunrise..." He muttered starting to descend down the mountain.

"Ugh...hiking up this is tiring work..." He yawned and climbed into a tree and jumped down from branch to branch and scoped his surroundings.

"Great...lost again..." He hopped down the tree and tripped on a rock, getting up he noticed he was at the foot of the mountain.

"Convienient but odd." He slowly walked away watching his surroundings and started into a sprint to his house.

"I have no idea why, but I feel like something's missing..." Link thought and looked at the clock as he walked back into the house.

"8 AM...10 hours until the carnival..." He sat back in a chair and sighed.

"Should I...?" Link got up from his chair and ran out the door.

"...No that's a terrible idea, why would I do that?" He sat on the edge of the lake and skipped stones.

"And I'm talking to myself again, I've been doing that a lot lately..." He threw a stone and it landed on the other side of the lake.

"Well talking to myself is a sign of being nervous...am I nervous about tonight or..." He looked behind him and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"Definetly about tonight..." He peered at his reflection in the lake.

"I can do this..." He sighed and started to hallucinate an image of Flandre as his reflection and lept back.

"What was that?!" He started to pant deeply and remembered earlier that morning...

"I-I've been destroying all of that?...Has her insanity rubbed off on me?" He looked back at his house, and saw the orange and yellow leaves fall on it, he smiled at that sight, trying to forget what had happened.

"You haven't noticed because you enjoy the thrill..." Someone giggled behind him.

"You're stalking me now...And no I don't like the thrill!"

"Hehe, you really like lying to yourself."

"I already had to deal with this once, and I'm not lying to myself, my anger just gets over me and I just loose control..." Link sighed pushing Flandre aside and jumped into the lake.

"Why did you do that? It must be freezing cold!"

"I-I did t-that to s-s-see if this w-w-was a night-m-mare but I was w-wrong..." He sneezed and walked onto the shore.

"And aren't you supposed to be resistant to the cold? You can control ice..."

"Kinda ironic isn't it?" He laughed and sneezed again.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fi- Achoo!" He stepped back and started shivering.

"You're not fine, you need to rest."

"No, I'm good, I just need to warm up a bit..." He shivered and walked inside his house, Flandre followed him.

"Just get some rest, try not to do anything to extreme."

"I just need to warm up, I'm ok..." He sneezed and she put a blanket over him.

"I'm going, don't do anything until you're well again." Flandre closed the door and made sure Link stayed put.

"N-Nine hours...I gotta be well in nine h-hours..." He sniffled and closed his eyes in the warm blanket.

"Ugh..." Link got up from the nap and glanced at the clock.

"You've been asleep for three hours, at least I'm not shivering but I'm still cold..." He sneezed and the door opened.

"Hi!" Cirno laughed and sat down next to him.

"What do you need now..." Link shuffled away.

"Nothing, just wondering how you're doing...why is there a lump in this blanket?" Cirno reached under the blanket and got hold of something.

"Don't touch that! It's important!" Link tried to get the item under the blanket but she already pulled it out.

"A stuffed fox?" She tilted her head at it's black button eyes.

"Yeah...Just give it back!"

"No, this is cute! And it's so fluffy!" She giggled hugging the tattered toy.

"I just want it back, come on please?" Link reached a hand for it.

"Did you make it yourself?"

"No, now give it back!"

"Come on, tell me where you got it."

"It's the only one ever made! Now come on! I need it back!"

"Why do you need it?...Is it your security blanket?" Cirno held the toy in the air.

"...Fine it is...I can't sleep without it..." Link was red with embarassment.

"Hmm...so you'd hate my guts if I took it?" Cirno asked and Link nodded.

"Worth it!" Cirno bolted out the door with Link in pursuit.

"You little brat! Give it back!" Link froze the surface of the lake in front of him to try to retrive the stuffed animal.

"Take this!" Cirno ran past Rumia and the toy was thrown into her palms.

"Wait, why?"

"Just run!"

"Why would I- Oh man!" She bolted after Cirno with Link a couple feet away.

"If I don't get that back in the next couple minutes, there's going to be hell to pay!" Link glared at them and jumped into one of the trees.

"Why do you enjoy ticking him off?!" Rumia glared at Cirno.

"I dunno, it's fun!"

"It's no use...I'm not gonna catch up..." He sighed and fell to the ground lying down.

"I shouldn't have even bothered...I'm just not motivated."

30 Minutes later...

"Hey Link, do you know where everyone went?" Daiyousei asked walking near him.

"Yeah, went west a bit..." He groaned lying face down.

"What's wrong?" She crouched down near him.

"They stole something, and it's something I can't really be happy without..."

"Why didn't you go get it back?"

"I'm not that motivated..."

"Well let's go, they're not that nice to you." She offered Link a hand and pulled him up.

"Just because I'm new."

"Now things can't get worse in your mind, and I agree."

"Just let's go..."

They walked until they reached a meadow and saw Cirno, Rumia and Mystia sitting under a tree.

"If I have to beat the pulp out of them to get it back, I will." Link cracked his knuckles and walked over to them.

"Oh hi!"

"Don't 'Oh hi!' me! I want it back...now!" Link growled at Cirno.

"Why do you want it back? So you can snuggle with it?" Mystia laughed.

"Oh come on, you all don't have security blankets? Mystia, your voice, what would you do if you couldn't sing again? And Rumia, that tiny ribbon, what if you lost that?" Link glared at them and they dipped their heads to the ground.

"There, now see how bad that'd be? That fox toy is my security blanket, I don't care who takes it, I'll get it back..." He ripped it out of Cirno's arms and held it close to his face.

"You're right..." Rumia sighed.

"See? It isn't healthy to let all of it just build up inside of you, then your rage just takes over you..." He paused and laughed for a minute.

"What's so funny?" Cirno tilted her head.

"Nevermind, it was just what I said, I explained one of my fears and this morning before I did that, I nearly destroyed a newspaper company because of what they posted, then we made amends." He chuckled again.

"Why were you going to do that?!" Mystia hit him upside the head.

"Ow! They took a picture of me and Cirno, really embarassing..." Link flinched and stepped back.

"...How embarassing was it? Were you two kissing?" Rumia laughed.

"No, she decided to bring out the ears and tail again, but this time a collar, a COLLAR! I don't think anyone would think it's funny seeing me in a dog collar..."

"Well you were turned into a dog once..." She stated.

"Yeah, and when you think of dog, you get dog collar, which about sums it up." Mystia laughed along with the others.

"I'm going home now, if you really think my despair is this entertaining, then I should write a memoir." He waved goodbye and raced home, locking the door shut.
