Disclaimer: Hello again. Review positively please! Thank you! I don't own The Legend of Zelda or characters. There will be some baby talk in this chapter, so don't go commenting on that negatively, OK? Well, let's go!
...
Three Years Later...
"Come on, honey. Let's go out to the shop. Mommy needs to get some food for supper tonight." Lily said to her three-year-old son, Link.
"OK, Mommy." the three-year-old said.
So, Lily took her son's hand and left the house with him. They walked through town, Hyrule Castle Town, to get to the shop. Once they got to the shop, they went inside. Lily went up to the counter and said to Link, "Now, stay right here, OK? Mommy has to talk to the store owner. Can you behave?"
"Yes, Mommy." the innocent, golden blonde, three-year-old child said.
"Good boy." So, Lily started to talk to the store owner, telling him what she needed to buy. Link, on the other hand, was looking out the shop's door. He saw a little brown dog, that started to run away. Link got excited, so he started to run out the door, without his Mother, nor the shopkeeper knowing.
Link ran up the street after the little brown dog. Link managed to miss being hit by carriages and buggies that went by.
When Lily was ready to go, she noticed that her toddler was missing. "Link?!" she called out in the small store. "Link, honey! Where are you?!" Then, she ran out the door, with her groceries in hand. When she ran up the town's street, she saw her baby running up the street, chasing after a dog. She dropped her groceries and started chasing after him. He was just about hit by a carriage, that didn't see him, when he was grabbed by his Mother and pulled off the road. Lily hugged her baby tightly in her arms. "Link, I was so worried about you! Are you OK?!" she asked, in a relieved voice.
"I'm fine, Mommy!" Link laughed.
"Don't you ever scare Mommy like that again!" Lily made sure Link was facing her, when she said that.
"Sorry Mommy, but dere was a doggy."
"Honey, if you see a doggy, don't go running after it, OK?"
"Sowy, Mommy..." And the little toddler hugged his Mother...
A Few Days Later...
"Link, can you help Mommy set the table, please?"
"Yes, Mommy." Lily handed Link the dinner plates, and he set them on the table, barely reaching, of course, and the plates were a little out of place... "What for supper, Mommy?"
"We're having roast beef, mashed potatoes with gravy..."
"Yay! I love gravy!" (This kid's just like me! XD)
"And squash, Link. We're having squash, too."
"Yuck!"
"It's good for you, Link."
Then, Link sat on the floor, arms and legs crossed, pouting. "I don't want any!" (I don't want any, either... Yuck!)
"Link, don't you want to grow up big and strong, like Daddy?"
"No!"
"Ohh. I know you do. I'll only give you a little bit, OK?"
So, Lily set dinner on the table, just as her husband, Avalon, was walking through the door. "Daddy!" Link jumped up and ran to hug his Dad.
Avalon picked Link up and held him in the air. "Hey! How's my Linky-doodle?!" Then, Avalon threw Link up in the air and caught him.
"Fine!" Link said, in his adorable, high-pitched voice.
"He's fine now, now that you're home. He's being stubborn, not wanting to eat his squash." Lily said, eyeing Link and Avalon.
Avalon gasped. "You don't want to eat your squash?!" Avalon held on to Link normally. "Well, if you don't, you'll turn orange, just like a squash! Then, you'll eventually turn into an actual squash!"
"No! No! No!"
"Well then, you better eat that squash, if you don't want that to happen!" Then, Avalon put Link down on the floor, and he ran over to the table and climbed onto his chair...
One Year Later...
"Are you ready for school, honey?" Lily asked.
"Yes, Mommy." young Link answered. Lily kissed Link on the forehead and sent him out the door. Link walked to school and caught up with his best friend, Jaik. "Hi, Jaik!"
"Hi!" Jaik said, happy to see his best friend. "Look what I got!" Jaik showed Link a frog, that he pulled out of his pants' pocket, and said, "We use dis to scare Marco right out of his skin!"
"How?"
"We put it in his lunch pail."
"How do you know we won't get in twubble?"
"He won't know it's us. Come on! We'll be late!" And the two best friends ran to school...
A Little While Later...
Once everyone got to school, they all set down their lunch pails, bonnets, and hats on the benches. Some even hung up their hats and bonnets. When Marco Freedman set down his lunch pail, Jaik slipped the frog in to it. Then, he and Link sat at their usual spots in the schoolhouse, and they continued on with their regular lessons...
Lunchtime...
At lunchtime, Link and Jaik sat together on the rock outside of the schoolhouse, eating their lunch. Link had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Jaik had a salmon sandwich. "Ew! Who put this frog in my lunch pail?!" Link and Jaik heard someone shout. Suddenly, a little red-headed boy with freckles stormed over to Link and Jaik. "It was you who put that frog in my lunch!" the little red-headed boy, Marco, shouted, pointing a finger at Link.
"No, it wasn't. It was me." Jaik said, pointing a finger at himself.
"Whatever! You both put a frog in my lunch! Now, you have to deal with me!" Marco said, with anger. So, Marco grabbed on to Link by the collar of his shirt and balled up his fists. Link's eyes were widened with fear.
Marco was about to punch Link, when the recess bell rang. "OK, kids, it's time to go in!" the teacher hollered to the students.
"You got off lucky, this time, punk. But when I see you again, you won't be so lucky..." And Marco let go of Link's shirt.
"Sowy, buddy. I didn't think he figure it out."
"It's OK. Let's go back in to the school." And Link and Jaik headed back in to the schoolhouse...
A Few Hours Later...
Link and Jaik were walking home from school, when they both heard, "Hey! Wait up, losers!" Link and Jaik turned around, only to see Marco running after them. Link and Jaik turned back around and continued walking, trying to ignore Marco. Jaik wanted to make a run for it, but he decided not to, because he didn't want to seem like a coward. Link didn't even think about running. He knew that it'd be cowardly to run. "Hey! I'm talking to you!" Marco caught up to Link and Jaik. Marco grabbed Link by his shoulder and whirled him around. Marco said, with an evil grin, "I know it wasn't you that put the frog in my lunch, but I teach you lesson, anyway!" So, Marco punched Link in the face, and he collapsed to the ground, in agony.
"Stop it, Marco! I put the frog in your lunch!" shouted Jaik. "Peaz, leave Link alone and hurt me!"
"Fine! But you asked for it!" So, Marco then, punched Jaik in the face. Then, Jaik crumbled to the ground, in agony.
Link couldn't stand seeing his friend being beaten, so he got up and ran towards home. When he ran in the door, he shouted, "Mommy! Mommy! Marco's beating Jaik! Hurry!" Link and the startled Lily ran out the door.
Once Lily and Link made it to the scene of the fight, Marco and Jaik were still fighting. So, Lily pulled Marco off of Jaik. "Stop it! Stop it!" shouted Lily. Lily set Marco on the ground, then picked up Jaik from the ground. "Would one of you please tell me what started all this?!"
"It was Jaik and Link's fault!" Marco whined.
"Oh? How so?" Lily asked, raising an eyebrow.
"They put a frog in my lunch!"
"Is that true, Link and Jaik?" Lily questioned her son and his best friend.
"No!" Jaik shouted.
"That's a lie!" shouted Marco.
"It isn't! I put the frog in the lunch! Not Link!"
"It's true!" Link argued back. "And Marco started to punch me, but Jaik told him to punch him!"
"It's true!" Jaik shouted.
"Alright. I believe you, Link and Jaik," Lily turned around to face Marco. "As for you, young man, you're going to explain to your parents about today's situation." Then, Lily grabbed on to Marco's ear, which hurt him badly, because he kept whining in pain, and started to bring him over to his house. Lily shouted over her shoulder, "Boys, go inside the house! I'll be there in a few minutes!" And she continued walking with Marco. So, Jaik and Link went inside Link's house and sat at the table, waiting for Lily to come back...
Meanwhile, with Lily and Marco...
Lily knocked on Marco's house's main door. When she did, a few moments later, a tall man, who was a little plump answered the door. The red-headed man did not look nice. "What do you want?" Mr. Freedman asked, in a not-so-nice tone.
"Hi, Mr. Freedman. I'm here with your boy, who started beating up my son, Link, and his best friend, Jaik. I thought you'd like to punish him." Lily said.
"I'm sure my son had a reason for what he did," Mr. Freedman said. "I don't see any need to punish him."
Marco did a silent "yes", with a fist pump.
Lily looked at Mr. Freedman and said, "You're joking, right? My son and his friend got beaten by your little brat! I think that's worse than my son and his friend putting a frog in Marco's lunch!"
"You see, your son and his friend deserve to be punished more than Marco. Link and Jaik obviously had no reason for putting a frog in my Marco's lunch. On the other hand, Marco had a reason for beating Link and Jaik. Why? Because Link and Jaik put a frog in my son's lunch..." Mr. Freedman said.
"Well, I know that there's a reason for what Link and Jaik did," Lily said.
"Oh? And what would that be?" Mr. Freedman questioned, raising his eyebrow.
"The reason would be that your son's a bully to my son and the Jefferson's son everyday. All's they wanted was a little payback, and I don't blame them. I would've done the same thing when I was a kid. Heck, even now I would. Though, I'm not saying that what Link and Jaik did was right. Actually, it was only Jaik that did it, but the point is, they'll be properly punished. More so, Jaik, because he's the one that did it. At least I have the guts to punish my child when they do something wrong! Good day, sir!" And Lily turned around and stormed off in a huff, leaving Marco on his doorstep...
That Night...
"Are you mad at me, Mommy?" the four-year-old Link asked.
"No, sweetie, I'm not mad at you." his Mother said. "I know you didn't do anything wrong. And I know that Jaik will be properly punished for it, unlike Marco's parents, who think their child can do no wrong."
"Why does Marco's Mommy and Daddy think that Marco don't do anything bad?"
"It's hard to explain some people, Link. Some parents aren't good parents, but your Dad and I are good parents."
"Why is there bad parents?"
"I don't know, hon. Well, you have school in the morning, so I suggest you go to sleep."
"OK. Goodnight, Mommy." Link hugged his Mother.
"Goodnight, Link." And Link's Mother hugged him back and kissed him on the head.
Lily got off of Link's bed and climbed down the ladder of the loft Link slept in, and Link rolled over and went to sleep...
