A Link to the Future
Chapter 2
Link looked around again. "Um, ok is this come kind of trick or something? Who sent you, my dad?"
The man named Rauru shook his head. "It is no trick Link; you are the next hero of this world. While you do not have any of the power that the past hero's have had you do have an ability that none of them ever had."
"Really?" Link said. "What is that? Living not in a video game world?"
Again Rauru shook his head. "You do not believe me do you?" He turned around as if looking for something beyond the haze of the room.
"Of course not! What do you think I am? A geek like my dad? Why do you think my mom left him?"
"You may leave then if you do not believe me," Rauru said, tossing Link's wallet back to him. He caught it on the jump and looked around. "How do I get out of here?"
Rauru snapped his fingers and suddenly Link was back in the ally that he had chased the old man into. He walked back onto the street and asked a man were the nearest bus station was.
Right down this street and take a left. You need direction to the Video Game Convention too?" he said with a laugh.
Link looked down and gasped. He was wearing what looked like a green tunic and hiking boots. He was also wearing white legging, and a green cap that went down to his shoulders. Were had his football jersey gone?
He ran to the bus station and rode it home. He ran to his room and pulled on some normal clothes. He threw the tunic and the rest out the window. He returned to the living room and watched the NBA Finals until he fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was 9 in the morning on Saturday. He went to kitchen and had breakfast. He went out and took the bus to the basketball courts, hoping that some people he knew would be there and they could start a pick up game. When he got there he saw that Anthony and some of the other basketball team members were there.
"Hey guys, pick up game anyone?" he asked, spinning the ball on his finger.
The rest of them turned and started to laugh. "You sure you're not going to get hot in that thing?" one of them asked. He looked down. To his horror he was wearing the tunic again, chain mail and all. He ran back to the bus station and rode it back home. Once again he threw the tunic out the window.
Needless to say the rest of the day went like this. He went somewhere to hang out and meet friends and he would end up wearing the green tunic. Run home, throw it out, burn it, rip it to shreds. Nothing worked. By the end of the day he had finally decided on a solution.
"I have to find Rauru."
