An: Okay, like I said before, this is mostly a fluff chapter. It'll get better soon enough... I hope. The action scenes will be later...much later. For now my action fans will have to settle for training. Sorry :( Okie Dokie!...Did I just say "Okie Dokie"? I seriously need to stop talking to Red.

Disclaimer: I don't own Legend of Zelda or Ayesha. The only thing I own is Kathy and my ideas...I guess that would be plural...

STORY TIME!

"Your day can't have been any worse than mine," I say with a sigh as I throw myself onto the couch. "I'm sure it wasn't that bad." Is she kidding? I wonder if she had a goofy kid following her around too. "I beg to differ. Coal was following me around all day. Between him, gym, and my random space outs, today was terrible. Not to mention Link."
"What did he do now?"
"He won't leave me alone about that damn drawing. He keeps asking me questions about it and what we were talking about at lunch. Why can't he just leave me alone!? I hate it all!" I shove a pillow in my face and scream. I can hear Ayesha laughing. "What? Why the hell are you laughing?"
"You've been saying that a lot lately. You shouldn't be so quick to hate."
"What? Are you my mom now?"
"I can act like your mom if you want. Kathy, clean up your shoes. You could trip if you leave them out like that." Ayesha begins nagging me, and she did sound like mom. That just makes me more angry. "Okay. Okay. I get it. So did you finish the homework in Linebeck's?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I need help."
"With which one?"
"Well numbers one through fifteen were all pretty confusing."
"Okay, I can help you- I'M NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU!"
"Okay. Jeez. Maybe if I saw your work it could inspire my own answers..."
"I'm not stopping you. My homework's in my binder. Just don't blame me when you fail."
"Fail? Fail what? Do we have a test?"
"No. But when we do have a test, you'll have no clue what you're doing."
"Whatever." I say as I grab the worksheet from Ayesha's bag and start jotting down answers. A couple minutes pass as Ayesha and I complete our homework. We have all the same classes, just at different times. That helps a lot (mostly for me). "Finished! Now, I'm off to the library. See ya." I say as I grab my things and leave.
I get to he library and grab a stack of manga that almost reaches my chin. "This should keep me busy for a while." I say with a sigh as I place the mountain of books down and start reading. A few hours pass as I continue to read. I let out an occasional giggle, soon followed by a loud shush in my general direction.
"Excuse me. Do you know where I can find text books?" A familiar voice whispers toward me as I continue to read, not bothering to find out who it is. "No. Go away. I'm busy." I place my book down and reach for the next one, but it's quickly swiped away. I look to the idiot who thought it was wise to take something from me and see Coal. "Damn it, Coal. I don't have time for this. The library's about to close." Coal frowns and hands me my book. "Yeah, that's why I need help finding something." He won't stop bugging me until I help him, I just know it. I might as well get this over with so I can get back to my book. "Ugh. Fine. I'll help you. What are you looking for?"
"A book."
"Really? I would have never guessed, considering this is a library. What book?"
"Self defense one 'o one. I kinda lost my textbook..."
"Be more responsible next time. Come on." I say as I hastily drag him to the area where the textbooks were held. "Okay, self defence books should be... wait. We don't have that book in Nagonford's class. This is about me flipping you earlier, isn't it? Aww. You feel bad because you got beat up by a girl." I say with a laugh. "Shhh. This is still a library, you know. Now shut up and help me find the book." I groan and swiftly locate the book. "You know, I could teach you self defense. You don't really need the book if you have a teacher."
"Sure. That sounds like fun."
"Okay, just help me get my stuff together and we can start the lesson." I say with a smile. "But didn't you want to read?" Coal asks as I place the book on it's proper shelf. "Nah. The library was about to close anyway. I just have to check a few books out."
Coal helps me put the finished books back on the shelves where they belong, which took a lot longer than taking them off the shelves. Eventually we finish and I check out the books I hadn't gotten a chance to read. "Come on! It'll be fun!" I say as I drag Coal off to start training. "This isn't the same girl I met this morning." Coal says as I stop and turn to him with a puzzled look on my face. "How so?" Coal smiles and pulls me close to him. "The girl I met this morning didn't have that cute sparkle in her eyes." I look down, avoiding his gaze. "Y-yeah. C-come on. Let's start training."

-Time skip brought to you be Kathy flip!-

"What!? I-I couldn't!" Coal says in disbelief to my request. "Do it. Flip me. Grab my arm and flip me over your shoulder." I say as I glare at him from behind.
"But, that would be wrong. I can't."
"Come on I can take it."
"No. I won't do it."
"Stop being a wimp and flip me. Do it, Dark Link."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, Dark Link. That is your real name, right? Now do it, Dark Link." I say as I place my hand on his shoulder. Not a moment passes until I hear the thud of my back hitting the mat. "Ow! Damn it! That hurt!" I scream as Coal's eyes widen and he reaches down to help me up. "I'm so sorry! Are you okay!?" I smile and fling him onto his back. "I'm fine, how about you?" Coal groans, "That's not fair! You tricked me!" I smile and help him up, "Battle is trickery. You have to learn that if you ever want to succeed." Coal grabs my arm and sends me flying. I laugh as I help myself up. "You're a quick learner. That's good. I'm not fond of repeating myself. Now attack me." I say, ready to defend. "What!?" I drop my stance and sigh. "You're hopeless. Come at me. Hit me with your best shot. Give it all you got." I demand as I go back into my defensive stance. Coal sighs as he goes in for a punch. I grab his fist and jab him in the gut. "Gotta be faster. Again." We keep at it for several hours, yet it seems like only minutes.
Eventually we both end laying on the mat in a draw. "You did pretty good." I say between breaths. "Thanks." I smile and look to him, "For a newb." I laugh weakly and roll onto my stomach. "Oh, you're asking for it." Coal says with a smile as he rises back to his feet, soon followed by me. "Oh yeah? What're you gonna do about it?" I ask with a laugh. "Come over hear and see." Coal says as he starts chasing me around the gym. I frequently switch between squealing and laughing as I he chases me around the gym. Soon enough, he catches me and picks me up by the waist. Sadly for me, that only put me about an inch above him. "Ah! Coal! Stop it! Put me down!" I say with a laugh. "Oh, but whats the fun in that? I think I'll keep you here for a bit." Coal jokes as he sits at a nearby table, holding me on his lap.
"You're a real jerk, you know that?"
"Yeah, that's why you're laughing. Admit it, you like me."
"In your dreams."
"If you don't like me, then why are you smiling so much?"
"People tend to smile when they're hanging out with friends."
"Oh yeah? How do you explain why you're still sitting in my lap?" I look down to see Coal's hands at his sides, not around mine. I hadn't even noticed he let go. So maybe I like him a little. But I can't get attached so quickly. I pretend to whine as I lazily reach out my hand. "I'd get up, but it's just so far." I laugh and hop back to the floor. "Where do you think you're going?" Coal asks as I get my things ready to leave. "Home. We have school tomorrow." Coal grabs a few books for me and we head for the door. "Oh, but school is so lame! You should skip with me. You can think of it as our second date."
"Who said we had a first date?"
"I did, just now."
"I never agreed to this."
"Okay, fine. Would you consider it a date?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because, you never actually asked me out."
"You are so difficult."
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to flirt with me."
"Alright. Fair point. Then do you want to go out some time?"
"I'll think about it," I tease as I pick up my pace and head home. Coal stops dead in his tracks. "Come on! At least give me an answer!" He calls after me as I continue to walk home with an unheard giggle.
"Where the hell where you!?" Ayesha screams as I fail to sneak in. "I told you I was going to the library." I say plainly while placing my stack of books on the table and beginning to read. "The library closed hours ago!" I sigh as I quickly go from page to page and reply. "A kid from school recognized me and we talked for a while." Ayesha takes the book from my hand and looks me in the eye. "The truth. Now." I nonchalantly grab my book back and look at her. "That is the truth. Do you have an issue with me having a social life that isn't you?" I say as Ayesha huffs and turn away. "I don't have a problem with it. I just want you to be able to talk to me." She says with a sigh. "We can talk in the morning, okay? I'm gonna go to bed." Ayesha sighs yet again. "Okay. Goodnight." I hug Ayesha and head to my room. I change into my pajamas, an over sized t-shirt and some sofie shorts, and doze off.

An: Sorry for another short chapter :( I'll try real hard to make them longer in the future. Honestly, right now, I'm posting pre-written stuff until I catch up to my writing. I've got two more chapters maybe. Then I have to do the unthinkable. I'll have to work on the story. Until then, have fun reading. Suggestions always appreciated! I really do need help! R&R
