Hello everyone! I thought it was about time to introduce my friends… *looks around* Where's Sam?
Quixos: not here…praise the Lord.
That's not nice. Well, I'm sure she'll be back soon.
Quixos: Riiiight…
-_- anyway, since Sam isn't here, I'll just introduce Quixos! Say hi, Quixos!
Quixos: no.
Pweeeeese?
Quixos: *rolls eyes* hi.
Yay! :3 Now do the disclaimer…
Quixos: no.
-_- fine. BTW people, since I always forget disclaimers, this will be the only one in this story, so it goes for the last chapter and all the following chapters! I do not own any of the characters in the Legend of Zelda series. I own the storyline and any OCs in the story as well as any names of places that are not named in the games or are already owned by Nintendo.
Quixos: that was quite the disclaimer…
Shut up. Enjoy the story folks! :3

We arrived at Sheik's house just in time to hear Zelda and Saria laughing and the door to Zelda's room close. Malon and I greeted Sheik's uncle, Mr. Harkinian, and headed down to the basement. We spent most days after school when we didn't have homework and weekends at Sheik's house. The basement was set up to be a kind of hang out for Sheik and Zelda's friends. There was a mini-fridge, always full of various sodas, tons of beanbags, two large, comfortable couches, an HD plasma screen TV, and multiple video game consoles and games. The stairs led to a small hallway that had a storage room on one side and a bathroom on the other side and the main room with the TV, mini-fridge and other said luxuries in it at the end of the hall. The floor of the entire place (except the bathroom, obviously) was covered in a soft carpet. Zelda's family is super rich.
As soon as we got downstairs, the three of us all took our shoes off. Malon took her socks off, too. Malon and I plopped down on one of the couches and took out our math books while Sheik dug through the mini-fridge. He pulled out a sprite and tossed it to Malon, then tossed me a Dr. Pepper and grabbed a Pepsi for himself. He then sat on one of the beanbags and picked up his laptop, which didn't technically come with the luxuries of the basement, but it was pretty much always in here anyway.
As Malon explained the properties of exponents to me, I heard laughing coming from upstairs. A moment later, there were footsteps on the stairs. Then Zelda and Saria were down in the basement with us.
"Oh, hi Link, Malon! I didn't know you guys were here!" Zelda greeted cheerily. She walked over to the mini-fridge and dug out two cherry sodas. She handed one to Saria.
I smiled shyly.
Saria walked over to the couch and leaned over to see what we were doing, "whatcha workin' on?"
"Math," Malon replied.
"Ugh, what a bore," Zelda said as she opened her cherry soda.
"I find it fascinating," Saria replied.
"Granted. It can't be worse than what we have to suffer through," Zelda confirmed.
"Psh, yeah right. Find me one person who would rather do math than whatever you guys do all day," Sheik teased.
Both Saria and Zelda slowly raised their hands.
"But that doesn't mean I like it," Zelda clarified.
"Right. Well, thanks for stopping by!" Sheik said.
"Sheik! Don't be rude! They're our guests!" Malon said, reaching over to slap Sheik's arm.
"I think, since this is my house, you guys are guests here," Zelda chided playfully.
"Well, we spend so much time here we might as well live here," I told her.
She thought for a moment, "true. It's almost scary. Let's go Saria. Bye, Malon. Bye, Link." She waved at me slightly as she turned away, her golden hair flowing down her back. I blushed slightly and turned back to my work, glad she didn't see.
"Alright, lover boy, back to what we were doing. When you have an exponent in parentheses and that is raised to a power, you have to multiply the powers…" Malon said, bringing me back to reality.
The rest of the afternoon passed quickly. When we finished our homework, Sheik and I played Halo: Reach together while Malon used Sheik's laptop to check her Facebook since she forgot her laptop at her house.
And…we're done! I hope you all enjoyed it! Even if it was a bit shorter than I would like. The next chapter will be longer (probably :3)!
Sam: *running up out of breath* Maya! I'm here!
Oh, good. Better late than never! Say hi!
Sam: *still panting* hi…everyone!
Quixos: Oh, great. She's here…
Don't be mean, Quixos. Oh, by the way, people, some random trivia about the name Quixos (mostly so you guys don't ask me later where I came up with it…)
Quixos: please don't.
Sam: *sits cross-legged on the floor* I love this story!
He was originally going to be the antagonist for an original sci-fi/fantasy story, but that ended up being crap. However, I liked the name and kept it around and now…he's here!
Quixos: *facepalms*
Sam: *claps enthusiastically*
*Taking a bow* thank you! Thank you! Anyway, guys, see you soon! :3 (Just so you know, I am planning on throwing both Quixos and Sam into a story as OCs eventually, but it probably won't be any of the stories I'm currently working on!)
