Lvmj: Hey readers, thought I was dead huh? Sorry I haven't been updating at all. Life has taken a toll on my free time. Between school and studying, there isn't much time. Well hopefully I will get the new mini story up and running.
Ages: Link 10
Derrick 10
Case of the missing Cows
Roughly around three hours since our heroes were washed ashore in Lake Hylia, Link and Derrick were on the move again. They both just climbed over the fence that separated the lake with the field. Derrick was rubbing head from the impact of Link's fist.
Several gray clouds shifted over above them, indicating that it will rain very soon. Link let out a sigh as a drop of rain fell down and hit his nose.
"We're not going to make it back to Kokiri Forest, Derrick," Link said as more droplets of rain fell on both of them.
"Damn, what is the nearest shelter?" To answer Derrick's question, Link pointed to Lon Lon Ranch. Derrick's jaw opened a bit before he spoke. "Are you sure?" He said, as if he didn't want to go there.
Link raised an eyebrow at his brother. "Yes, I am sure. Unless you rather catch a cold in the rain."
"A cold is not that bad compared to how angry Malon is," Derrick muttered to himself.
"What was that?" Link asked as he started walking away from the fence.
"Nothing! Lets make a run for it!" Derrick said before Link could ask again.
Link just shook his head of the rain drops and ran after his brother.
In Lon Lon Ranch, Malon was on the roof, scanning the ranch. "Where and how those boys moved thirteen of my cows is beyond me. But when I get my hands on them...I am going to BEAT them," Malon said making a fist. As if the Goddesses answered her plea, she saw a green and black speck down at the gates.
Malon smiled as she climbed down the vines on the side of her home and onto the ground. Reaching into the kitchen window, she pulled out a cast iron pan and held it with both hands.
"Do you know where she is?" Link asked Derrick who was standing behind Link and looking from side to side.
"Nope...maybe she isn't here!" They were about to round the corner when Link saw a black object round the corner suddenly. Link ducked under it, leaving Derrick standing.
He saw it too late to dodge it as it collided with his head with a loud "thud." Derrick's head flew back as his body fell to the ground about ten feet away. Once he skidded to a stop, he held his right eye as he ever so slowly sat up. "What the hell just hit me?"
"A very angry girl with a pan," Link said as he started backing up. "Derrick, why is she mad at us?" he whispered to his brother as he helped him up.
"Well...you see...its actually a funny story," Derrick said as he scrambled behind Link.
Malon, with a wicked smile, held up her pan high in a striking motion. "Where are my cows!"
"What cows?" Link said, earning him a whack from her pan on the side of his head. He stumbled through the doors of the barn where the cows were usually kept.
Beside a small cut on his cheek, caused by Malon, Link stood up fine, but a bit dizzy. That was when Link noticed no mooing, fresh hay left uneaten, and empty buckets that were suppose to be filled up with fresh white milk.
"So this is what she was talking about," he silently said, adjusting his green hat correctly on his head.
Link then heard the sound of metal banging on flesh followed by a cry of pain. He turned around just in time to see Derrick stumbling to his knees beside him. In the entrance to the barn, Malon let go of the heavy pan, letting it drop to the ground, thus making a small crater. She then grabbed a pitch fork and held it in front of her.
"So, where are they, Masters?" Malon said, saying their last name. This was the cue that Malon was pissed at both brothers.
Link looked at Derrick, wondering why Malon was mad that her cows are gone. It was then that it dawned on Link that Derrick had taken the cows.
He decided to play along with this charade, so Derrick wouldn't take all the blame. Isn't he a good brother?
Link bent down next to Derrick and whispered, " You owe me for this." He then stood up, heaving his brother to his feet. "Come on Derrick, spill," Link said aloud to Derrick, who just held his blackened eye.
"Alright, alright! There in the meadow next to the Temple," he said as he pulled out a dark red Ocarina. Link then took hold of Malon's shirt shoulder and placed his left hand on his brother's right shoulder.
"Here we go!"
Lvmj: Okay, this is by far the shortest chapter ever that I have written. But its something. I won't have much time after this, so hopefully I will update the Inuyasha one, Resident Evil, and Harry Potter crosses soon. Now if your confused on what a cast iron pan is, its iron that has been melted down into a mold of whatever its going to be. Its very different from a regular metal pan. Also, its very, very, VERY heavy. Don't be fooled by its size. A simple cast iron pan will be 10-15 pounds while a metal one is light as a feather. Well, hope you all have a good day, or night. Take care and be safe all of you!
