Link and Midna Come Alive- Literally
Link and Midna Come Alive- Literally!
Detention and Cafeteria Food
"Where are we going now?" Midna asked as we walked down the hallway.
"History class," I replied. "But I have to tell you, it is the most boring class on the planet."
"I'm sure it's not that bad . . .," Midna said as we stepped into the classroom.
"Oh yeah, just a word of warning," I said. "Don't make the teacher angry."
"Why?" Midna asked. Just then, the teacher, Mrs. Shan came into the room.
"Alright everyone, in your seats!" she yelled, and everyone but the three of us scrambled to their seats.
"Who are you two?" she asked, eyeing Link and Midna.
"Mrs. Shan, these are my cousins from Romania, Luke and Mindy," I explained.
"Oh, I see," she said, narrowing her eyes. "Well, you two just sit in the empty seats in the front row and try to grasp what we're learning with your tiny brains."
This is not going to end well, I thought, noticing how Midna glared at Mrs. Shan when she turned her back. She and Link went to the front of the class and sat in the seats. About halfway through the class, it had gotten so boring that most kids were just trying to keep their eyes open. Midna had actually fallen asleep.
"Wake up!" the teacher yelled, smacking Midna on the back of the head with her rolled up teacher's guide. "Just because you're new doesn't mean you can sleep in my classroom!"
"How dare you hit me?!" Midna exclaimed, jerking her head up and glaring at the teacher.
"How dare you speak to me that way, young lady?!" Mrs. Shan yelled back.
"I don't have to take orders from you!" Midna said. By now, everyone was staring at the pair, and some were silently chanting "Go Mindy!" under their breath.
"Oh yes you do! I'm the teacher and you're the student!"
"I have a much higher authority than you ever will!"
"Is that so?" Mrs. Shan said, smiling slightly. "Well then, explain to me all about it." Midna snarled at her and I could see fire in her eyes.
"I can't," she said through clenched teeth.
"That's right you can't," Mrs. Shan said. "Because I rule this classroom, not some lowly student."
"Because I rule this realm, not some lowly princess." The words Zant had spoken before he turned Midna into an imp and banished her into the Light Realm played over in Midna's mind. Midna jumped up to stare down at the teacher (who was about half a head shorter then her), knocking over her desk and chair in the process.
"Don't ever speak to me that way!" Midna hissed, venom in her voice.
"That's it young lady, I've had enough. You have detention," Mrs. Shan said, staring up at Midna.
"I don't even know what that is!"
"Well then, the principal can explain it when you go to his office. Now!" Mrs. Shan pointed to the door.
"Fine!" Midna said, stalking out of the classroom. Link jumped up when she went out of sight and started to follow her.
"And just where do you think you're going?" the teacher said, catching Link by the arm.
"I'm going with Mindy. Let me go!" He jerked his arm from her grasp and walked out of the room after Midna.
"I can't believe I'm doing this," I muttered to myself as I stood up and started to follow Link and Midna.
"You're not leaving as well, are you Alex?" Mrs. Shan asked, slightly bewildered by the small uprising.
"Yes I am," I replied. "I can't stand how you treat us any more!"
"You'll get detention as well," she warned.
"I don't care," I said, stepping out of the classroom. I heard cheering behind me as I walked down the hallway, and smiled. I went down to the principal's office and entered to find Midna and Link sitting in the chairs in front of the principal's desk, as relaxed as could be.
"Hey, Alex! Nice of you to join us," Midna said, smiling her trademark smile as I sat down.
"Uh, right, where's the principal?" I asked, noticing the unoccupied desk in front of us.
"Oh, he went out to get Link some pizza," Midna said, looking at her nails.
"Um, okay . . .," I said. "You used mind control on him again, didn't you?"
"Of course," Midna said, smiling again and showing one of her fangs.
"Whoa! You still have fangs!" Link exclaimed.
"Of course I do, stupid!" Midna said, looking at Link.
"I thought they disappeared," Link said, leaning forward to look at Midna's mouth.
"Uh, no, they just became retractable," Midna said, backing away from Link. Just then, the principal came back in the room, carrying a box of pizza.
"Here you go Luke, cheese pizza just like you wanted," Mr. Marx said, setting the box down on the desk.
"Thanks!" Link said, diving into the pizza.
"What shall I do now, Mindy?" Mr. Marx asked, looking at Midna.
"I don't know . . . just hang out in the classroom's, I guess," Midna said with a shrug.
"As you wish," said the principal, bowing slightly as he exited the room and closed the door.
"That's pretty cool," I said, to Midna.
"Isn't it?" she said. We talked about what exactly she could do while controlling the minds of people, until the bell rang, signaling the start of lunch.
"Oh great, it's lunch time!" I said. "Let's go to the cafeteria."
"Why can't we just stay here?" Midna asked.
"Because my friends will be wondering where I am," I said, standing up. "Come on Link. Just leave the pizza here."
"Aw," he whined as we stepped out into the hallway. We went into the cafeteria and I found seats at a table with Erin, Serena, Veronica, Chelsea, and a few other people.
"I'm going to go in the lunch line to get my food," I said. "You can come with me Mindy, although I suppose Luke isn't hungry anymore."
"Oh yeah, I'm starving!" Link said.
"How?! You just ate half a freakin' pizza!" I said.
"I think he has a bottomless pit for a stomach," Midna whispered to me.
"I do not!" Link said. "Fighting takes a lot out of you!"
"Luke, we're in a school," Midna said slowly. "You haven't fought anything for a long time."
"What do you mean 'fighting'?" Erin asked, entering out conversation.
"Uh . . . Link does . . .," I started, thinking of what I could say.
"Sumo wrestling!" Link chimed in. "I do sumo wrestling!"
"Sumo wrestling?" Erin asked, giving me an incredulous look.
"Yeah! I like to sumo wrestle the Gorons, but I need to wear the iron boots or I'll get knocked out in about two seconds," Link explained.
"Oh, Zelda again," Erin said. She turned away and tried to look uninterested, but I could tell we'd sparked her curiosity yet again.
"Come on guys, I need to eat," I said, standing up and walking over to the lunch line, Link and Midna in tow. We got into the line and I gave each of them a tray. Midna looked like she was about to throw up when the lunch lady dropped some unidentifiable meat on her tray. I paid for all of their food, and we went and sat back down at the table, grabbing forks on the way.
"Ugh, you actually eat this stuff?" Midna questioned, poking at the mystery meat.
"Not usually," I said, but I forgot my lunch this morning.
"Oh, Alex, I didn't know you had to buy lunch," Serena said, looking at the substance on my tray. "You can have half my sandwich if you want."
"Thanks Serena!" I said, taking the half she offered me. Link took a small bite of his food, and immediately gagged.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said, swallowing the piece of food. "That is some really nasty stuff there."
"Really?" Midna said, eyeing her food like it would come alive.
"Yeah. I wouldn't eat it if I were you," Link advised her.
"Well you're not me," said Midna, taking a bite of the mystery meat. Her eyes widened as she chewed it.
"What are you talking about?" she asked Link. "This stuff is great!"
"Oh my god, she likes it," Serena said in disbelief.
"Ew," Erin said, making a disgusted face.
"Are you feeling okay?" Veronica asked.
"I feel great!" Midna said. "This is the first decent thing I've had since I got here!"
We all stared at her, horrified, as she finished her serving.
"Hey Link, give me yours if you don't want it," she said.
"Here, take it," Link said, shoving the tray at her.
"You can have mine too," I said, handing Midna my tray. We didn't eat much, having lost our appetites from watching Midna eat the food that we weren't entirely sure wasn't poisoned, and we were glad when Midna finally finished the last bite of mystery meat.
"Midna, what are you?" Link said.
"Eee hee! That's for me to know, and you to find out!" she said to Link. I noticed Erin freeze when she heard Midna giggle.
"That laugh . . . it sounds exactly like-" She was cut off as the bell rang. I quickly jumped up and dragged Midna and Link out of their seats until they started following me. We ran out of the cafeteria, momentarily avoiding what I knew would happen sometime: Erin had figured it out.
A/N: Oh no! Erin's figured it out! dun dun dun. . . anyways, next time: School is finally almost over! yay! but can Link and Midna survive algebra and french class? you'll find out next time! bye for now!
