Rose pressed down hard on the camera's buttons. "You don't need to press that hard, Rose." Vaati said, on the other side of the camera.

"Why are we in a museum anyway?"

"Well, you said that you wanted to do something we've never done before."

"I meant let me sleep, you keep waking me up at six in the morning."

"Because we never get to do stuff like going to a museum."

"And for a good reason..." Rose said under her breath. She yawned for a few seconds. "I think I'm gonna go sleep on that bench for a month."

Vaati grabbed Rose by the arm and ran her over to the fossils. "See that?"

"No." Vaati shook Rose a bit to wake her up. "It's a Like Like fossil, what about it?"

"It's not just any Like Like, it used to be my Like Like. Look, there's still a collar around it's neck."

Rose squinted, careful not to fall asleep. "Yeah, so what?"

"So, I need to break this guy out of here and use my special evil powers to bring him back to life."

"You're ridiculous."

"You're attractive." Vaati patted Rose on the shoulder. "Now then." Vaati reached out over the red velvet rope, grabbed the fossilized Like Like, and ran to the door. An alarm went off, waking up Rose immediately.

"What the hell are you doing?" She screamed at Vaati.

"I'm bringing my friends back!" He stopped by a Stalfos skeleton. "I think I knew that guy." The security guards were gaining on Vaati. He started sprinting again, Rose in hand.

"Vaati, are you seriously running from the law?"

"What, you think I should turn them to stone?"

"No, I'm saying-"

"A talking hat, then?"

"Teleport, idiot!"

Vaati smirked. He let go of Rose's arm and snapped his fingers. A purple portal opened up next to him, and he pulled Rose through.

~Vaati's House~

Vaati sat the fossilized Like Like down on his couch. "Vaati, I don't know how I feel about that thing being in the house..." Rose said, nervously. "It's awfully dusty."

"Well in a few seconds it'll be less dusty because it'll be alive." And with that, Vaati struck the fossil with lightning, coming from his hands. Seconds later, there was a living Like Like in the room.

"Eww... it looks nasty."

"Paul!" Vaati ran over to his Like Like. "It's so good to see you again! I bet you're hungry, aren't you?" It slithered around the room. "Rose, feed him some blouses, he prefers tunics but I don't think we have any."

"Vaati!" He looked up at the redhead. "I am not feeding that thing any of my clothes!"

"Well then do we have a shield, he eats those too."

"Sneak him into Link's house while he's asleep."

Vaati remembered a few weeks prior when he received a phone call from Dark Link. "I think he won't be home for a while." Vaati placed a leash on the Like Like and walked him out the door.

"I'm hiding my blouses from you, Vaati! I don't want anyone eating them!" Rose called out the window. Several neighbors looked at Rose funnily. She stuck her head back in the window and closed it quickly.

~Five Days Later~

"Vaati, you have to get rid of that thing!" Vaati looked up from his book. Rose was wrapped up in a towel, her hair soaking wet.

"Fashion statement? Because I'm loving it."

Rose's eyebrows slanted down. "Cute." She tightened the towel. "That thing ate the clothes I set out while I was in the shower!"

"So? Get a new pair."

"That was my last outfit! I have no blouses, no T-shirts, no skirts, no shorts, it even ate my stockings!"

"Don't you at least have those boots I gave you last Christmas? Paul doesn't like leather."

"Why isn't he eating your cape or your shirts or anything?"

"Like Like's are allergic to the color purple. It's your fault for having a strictly no-purple wardrobe."

Rose's eyes went wide. "You fucking idiot! Why did you bring that thing back to life?"

Vaati held Paul in his arms. "You're hurting his feelings! No wonder he ate all of your clothes."

"It doesn't have feelings! It's a monster!" Vaati sniffled. Rose grabbed a knife off of the cutting board in the kitchen. "Fossilize that thing and return it to the museum, or I'm getting rid of it!"

"Rosie, it's not gonna die from a kitchen knife."

"Then I'll go into the market and buy a sword and kill it myself!" Vaati raised an eyebrow. Rose looked down, seeing the towel. "Vaati, if I can't leave the house, I can't go to work, and that means that if you want to keep watching TV and reading past 9:00, then you're gonna have to get a job yourself. And I can't leave the house without clothes, because I don't feel like becoming a nudist anytime soon!"

Vaati sighed. "Alright... I'll turn him to stone." Vaati walked into the back yard, bringing the Like Like with him. A few minutes later, a crying Vaati came back inside.

"See, was that so hard?" Vaati was still crying. "We can visit him in the museum every now and then, okay?" Vaati stretched his arms out, still crying. Rose sighed. "I'll hug you as soon as you buy me more clothes." Vaati nodded, walking to the door. "I'm sorry, Vaati, I know this is a bad time for you and everything, but I really want to leave the house." Vaati walked slower, dropping his book. "What book were you reading?"

"Old Yeller."

Rose couldn't help but chuckle at the irony.

"And I'm not sad about Paul, this book just has a terrible ending."

"I'm sure." Rose walked up to Vaati's side and pecked his cheek. "I'll make you some cookies while you're gone, and please, knock before you open the door, okay?"

"Yeah... alright..." Vaati closed the door behind him.

Rose sighed. Suddenly, she heard a rustling from the back door. As she opened the door, she saw Paul with a sleeve hanging out of it's mouth.

"VAATI!"
