CHAPTER 7

Christmas Shopping

"Link!" Navi yelled. A Gerudo pirate named Renée stood there with her sword in the lower left part of Link's back. Kafei grabbed Link and took him to the Clock Town Medical Center. Anju just stared at Renée.

"Pathetic," she merely said. Anju slapped her and Navi laughed but stopped when Anju glared at her, "now where is he taking him?"

"Where the hell do you think?" Anju asked rhetorically. Tatl gasped.

"Drama bomb," Tael whispered. Renée laughed and walked into the clock tower back to Hyrule. Tatl and Tael flew back to the inn and Navi and Anju headed to the hospital.

"I hope Link's alright," Anju said.

"I bet Kafei dragging him," Navi joked. Anju just kept walking forward. The arrived at the hospital and asked to see Link Park. The receptionist said it wasn't possible because he needed surgery.

"How much will it cost?" Anju asked.

"Uh," she typed something up on the computer, "Fifteen hundred rupees." she answered. Anju told her she'd be back with the money, but as soon as she got home she broke down. She went into a crying fit about money.

"It's okay, Link has the money." Navi said. She searched under his pillow and found 1,500 rupees and handed it to Anju. They headed back to the hospital and handed her the money. The receptionist said she didn't need it so they took it back and handed it to the person they needed to.

After two weeks of Link being in the hospital he finally got to come home. He just headed up to his room and slept. He didn't care if he was grounded for a week. He couldn't do anything anyways.

"Link! I'm going to the store. I'll be back in an hour, ok?" Myra called.

"Whatever," Link answered weakly. Myra left and Link just lied there in bed.

"Link, you want a brownie?" Tatl asked. Link jumped which hurt his back.

"Thanks," Link said sarcastically.

"Sorry, now do you want one or not?" Tatl asked again.

"Sure," he said and rolled over. Tatl came back with Kafei. Kafei handed him a brownie and left the room.

"You need to get up and do something," Tatl said.

"No," Link said. Tatl bumped him on the head and left. Link got up and went downstairs to wash dishes to earn money since all his money was used for his stupid medical bills.

"There you go. Now you're being useful." Tatl said gleefully. Link ignored her and finished the dishes.

"Yeah, at least I can do something. All you do is be annoying and fly around," Link said harshly and went to the living room.

"Ugh, love you too," she said in reply.

"Go cry about it," Link said. He switched on the T.V. and turned to Nick.

"How immature," she said talking about him watching Nick.

"Shut up. I bet you watch stupid Animal Planet," he said it in a stupid tone of voice.

"Why yes, yes I do," she said proudly.

"I saw you on T.V. yesterday," Link said while trying to keep his laughter in.

"Really? What channel?" she asked seriously.

"Animal Planet!" he busted out laughing.

"Ha ha, hilarious," she said and flew away. It was close to Christmas now so Nick was playing Christmas episodes of stuff. After an hour of watching T.V. Link decided he needed to go get Christmas gifts. He put on a fresh pair of clothes and realized that Anju and Kafei never got married.

"Anju, did you and Kafei postpone your wedding?" Link asked. Anju nodded.

"It's scheduled for next week on Thursday," she said sadly. Link nodded and said he was going out to get Christmas presents.

"I'll make sure to tell Myra," she answered.

"Whatever," Link said and left without another word. He went to Wal-Mart and bought a couple of things. For Anju he bought bath salt, brown sugar vanilla spray, and a card. For Navi, Tatl, and Tael he bought them chocolate, because how would he know what fairies want? Then he got Kafei Jolly Ranchers, a new pair of shoes, and a card. When he got home Myra was reading a book, Anju and Kafei were talking, and so were the fairies.

"Home," Link said exhausted.

"Welcome," Tael said, "What'd you get us?" Link told him wasn't going to tell him and went up stairs to his room to wrap them. After thirty minutes of wrapping he put them under the tree and tapped the cards to them. Link sat down and watched T.V.

"Oh, how nice of you!" Anju said. Link shrugged and continued what he was doing.
