A/N: Because of the bold messing with some readers' eyes, I have decided to skip making it bold!

Lance: Huzza…

David: Hush, you. Anyway, I'm sorry for the delay, but hey, poppin' them out every day is just plain out inordinate. Okay, Lance, do the honors.

Lance: Honors…? Anyway, Neither of us own any zeldaness contained within the walls of the Idiots' brain.

Hey!

Chapter 2: The heck?

After waking up, Lance was met by familiar rich blue eyes. Upon further inspection, he found they belonged to a girl his age with a green turtle neck shirt on, some forest green shorts, and soft green boots. A deep green Hair clip adorned her almost violently vibrant green hair.

Lances' eyes bugged out. He knew her. "Aren't you Saria?!" She nodded. Looking around, he noticed he was in a forest. "W-where am I?" She looked at him strangely. "Your in Lost Woods. So who are you? And what are you wearing?" She helped him up at the last question. "I'm Lance Delgado. And this," he pointed at his chest, where the armor was glinting visibly, "is armor. Didn't you know that?" She shook her head.

She had been leading him forward to a not so unknown destination: Kokiri town. Link, his father, had taken Lance here twice. He had played with Saria before. He was six the last time he had seen her, but she didn't look any different now. He decided he should ask her about this later, as he had spotted his fathers old tree house. "Hey, let's go in the tree house!" Lance exclaimed, before Saria could even say anything against the youth, he had bolted towards it. He climbed up the roped and scrambled onto the balcony. He took a deep breath and walked in.

He wasn't prepared for the darkness that met him inside. Nor had he counted on the sleeping form on the bed. This intruder was apparently asleep, and not faring well in his dreams. He was covered in cold sweat, shivering despite the warmth. Lance looked closely at this figure.

After some scrutinizing, he declared this person a male. Something about the boy's face made him think though; it reminded him of someone. His jaw dropped. He recognized him, and quietly mouthed the word "Dad".

Saria came in just as Lance finished his statement. "Do you know Link?" She asked quietly, seeing the blonde still sleeping. Lance absentmindedly nodded. Why…? He doesn't look any older than me… am I even awake?

Rising out of his stupor, he noticed a blue fairy slowly fluttering in. "Hello! Which of you is Link?" Lance and Saria pointed at the snoring kokiri. The fairy sighed. "Of course, the lazy one, right?" She flew to his ear, hovered, and inhaled till Lance thought she'd bust. "HEY, WAKE UP, LAZY!!! LINK!!"

Link jumped up at least two feet in the air, falling out the window over his bed. "AHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…. Oomph!" Saria winced, then laughed. Lance joined in and the fairy sweatdropped. "Oops." Link crawled in under his curtain/door and mumbled good mornin'. He sat on his bed and looked at his company. He then remembered the reason of his misfortunate awakening. He looked up at the fairy. "Who are you?"

She flew a little closer to him. "I'm Navi! The Great Deku Tree assigned me to you! He summoned you, by the way." Link then looked at Lance. "And you?" Lance was smart enough to realize this was probably before he was even born, this weird "dream", so he just settled for saying, "My name's Lance. It'd tell you the rest, but I don't feel like explaining. Anyway, you might as well go on this errand, first." Navi looked up. "Wait, The deku tree mentioned something about a red-headed boy in armor!" Lance blinked. "He did?"

"Yup."

"Well, what did he say?"

"…"

"…Navi, do you suffer from short term memory loss?"

"…"

"Oh, Din help us." Link looked confused, but stood up anyway. "Well, let's go! Saria, please wait for us in your house, 'k?" Saria nodded and left. "Let's go, then Lance." Link went out of house through the curtains. Lance looked out of the window. He looked down and smirked.

"Hey." Lance smiled good-naturedly at Link, who was gawking at the red head. "How did you get here before me?" Lance blinked. "Window." Link groaned and moved forward, towards the hollowed out tree trunk. A short, bow-legged kokiri was in front of the trunk and looked up when he heard us. His eyes widened when he saw me, though.

"Halt, Mr. No-Fairy, where do you think you're going?" He had an annoying, snobby voice that just wanted to make punch him. "Move aside, Mido. The Great Deku Tree summoned me and Lance."

Mido frowned. "Why would he summon some like you instead of me, the great Mido?! Well, Link, I won't let you pass! Not you, or your sniveling little friend there, either-" Mido was caught off in the mid-sentence by a fist from Lance. His metal clad hand managed to lacerate Mido's cheek and send him to the ground.

"Shut up, before your voice makes me hit you again. Now get the of the way," Lance's eyes narrowed, "or pay." He reached for the hilt of a sword on his back that was covered with his dark traveling cloak. His hands reached around the pommel. He again thought of his fathers' sword. What happened to it…?

Mido was crawling away, holding his face and sending curse Link's way. Lance step forward threateningly and Mido ran for it. Link was speechless. "You- He- Blood- Lance- wha?" Lance smirked. "You-err, I was taught to fight before. Guess it pays off, in the end."

Link nodded and distractedly walked forward, only to be sent flying backwards by something shooting out of the ground. Link crumpled into a heap by Lances feet. "…The heck?" In front of him stood possibly the ugliest thing he had ever seen. He thought back to his mother's last attempt at cooking. Well… second ugliest. A long, green stalk was most of the creature, with a blue, vein-riddled bulb with serrated teeth on the top end. He simply walked up to it and cut it's bulb off. He kicked Link awake. "No… I don't want to go to school… I want to stay home and bake cookies with yooooouu…" "Oookay…" Lance, freaked out by his... Fathers behavior, took a step back. Link stood up and wiped off his tunic. "Anyway, let's continue!"

After slicing up a few more of the plants, the trio walked into a clearing with a huge tree in the center: The Great Deku Tree. Navi fluttered off to the front of the tree.

"Great Deku Tree! I've returned with Link!" "And Lance." "And Lance!" The tree's moustache shook a little. "Ah, Navi, ye hast returned with the youths. Link, Lance, I have a deed of great importance to ask of thee, one that will require the utmost courage and bravery. Willst thou except?"
