After a couple of tear filled minutes, Ganondorf finally wiped his eyes and returned to his bed. Ganondorf sat in silence as the sunlight began to fade from the room. Soon Ganondorf was sitting in darkness, until Bowser entered and flipped on the light.

"Hey Ganondorf…" Bowser said as he walked into the room. "I… I have something to tell you."

Ganondorf looked up hopefully, this was the first time Bowser had been gentle with him. "Yeah, what is it?"

"I… I'm sorry for what I said to you." Bowser said as he sat on his bed.

"Oh…"

"And…" Bowser stopped himself.

"Yeah?"

"I want to tell you that… that I… I am… gay." Bowser admitted.

"Oh, Bowser… I know… I know you are." Ganondorf chuckled.

"Yeah, Wolf said everyone already knew."

The two sat in an awkward silence. Finally Ganondorf built up the nerve to ask Bowser the question that was weighing on his mind.

"So, you'd be okay with being my boyfriend?" Ganondorf said as he looked to Bowser.

Bowser looked up, took a deep breath, gulped, then replied.

"No."

Ganondorf felt as though his heart had been crushed. "Wh… Why?"

"Ganondorf, I don't… I don't…"

"You don't what?" Ganondorf asked.

"I don't think you're attractive." Bowser admitted.

"Oh." Ganondorf said looking back down at his feet.

"I… I'm sorry." Bowser apologized.

"It's… It's okay. It's not your fault." Ganondorf said.

"Okay."

"I need to go." Ganondorf said as he stood up from his bed.

"Okay." Bowser repeated. He watched as Ganondorf left the room.

Ganondorf stood in front of the bedroom door for a few seconds. He then snapped his fingers and vanished in a cloud of purple smoke.

The pool in the back of the mansion was almost empty except for Ness, Lucas, and the Ice Climbers who were playing in the water. Ganondorf appeared in a puff of smoke next to the pool.

"Marco!" Ness yelled waiving his hands crazily.

"Polo!" everyone else replied.

"Well fuck." Ganondorf said under his breath. "There's no way in hell I can think with all of this going on."

He snapped his fingers again and vanished. He reappeared at the front of the mansion. The kids were barely audible from here.

"Much better." Ganondorf said aloud. Ganondorf walked forward, away from the mansion. He needed to get away for awhile. A walk would do him good. Ganondorf was about three feet away from the mansion when he suddenly felt a malevolent presence. He stopped, and closed his hands into a fist.

"Who's there?" Ganondorf asked.

Ganondorf's answered with a maniacal laugh.

"Show yourself!" Ganondorf demanded as he looked around him.

The voice snickered. "Oh, Ganondorf."

"Who are you?" Ganondorf yelled.

"See for yourself." The voice chuckled. Suddenly the bright blue figure of a human appeared in front of him.

"Tabuu!" Ganondorf yelled.

"The one and only." Tabuu laughed.

Ganondorf threw his fist back and attempted to strike Tabuu. The blow was blocked as Tabuu raised his hand and a small burst energy threw Ganondorf's fist backwards.

"There's no need for violence." Tabuu laughed.

"What did you do to Bowser?" Ganondorf yelled.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about." Tabuu chuckled as he floated in the air around Ganondorf.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. He doesn't remember me!" Ganondorf yelled.

"Oh… Yes, I think I'm beginning to recall that incident." Tabuu smiled.

"What did you do?" Ganondorf yelled as purple energy began to flow from his hands.

Tabuu drifted over to Ganondorf and stood face to face with him. Their eyes met, then Tabuu lifted his hand and reached toward Ganondorf's forehead. Ganondorf, in defence, threw his hands up.

"Don't worry. I am going to show you what happened." Tabuu explained calmly.

Ganondorf put his hands down.

"But… Before I do. Tell me about the kingdom of Hyrule." Tabuu said.

"What do you care of Hyrule?" Ganondorf asked.

"Just. Do. It." Tabuu demanded.

"Hyrule is the kingdom from which Zelda, Link and I are from. Zelda is the princess of Hyrule, Link is my mortal enemy. He prevailed against me and the two sealed me away forever."

"All right. So you can say you know Hyrule?" Tabuu asked

"Of course I do." Ganondorf replied, completely confused.

Tabuu chuckled and pressed his hand against Ganondorf's forehead. Ganondorf yelled in pain, but the pain ended just as quickly as it came.

Tabuu drifted away from Ganondorf and held out his hand. He was holding a small bright blue ball.

"What the hell did you do?" Ganondorf asked rubbing his hand.

"See this?" Tabuu asked showing Ganondorf the bright blue ball.

"What is it?" Ganondorf asked

"Tell me about the kingdom of Hyrule." Tabuu said.

"The kingdom of what?" Ganondorf asked.

"Hyrule."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ganondorf growled in anger.

"See. Just a couple of minutes ago you were able to tell me all about it." Tabuu.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Ganondorf yelled.

"This." Tabuu said as he extended the hand holding the bright blue ball, "is your memory of Hyrule."

"What?" Ganondorf was utterly confused.

"Here." Tabuu grasped the ball in his hand and threw it at Ganondorf. The ball hit Ganondorf in the face, and light swarmed around him, then was absorbed into his head.

"What the hell?" Ganondorf asked.

"Tell me about Hyrule." Tabuu snickered.

"I already did!" Ganondorf yelled. He paused. He could vaguely remember not remembering Hyrule. His head started to hurt. "What the hell have you done?"

"Isn't it clear?" Tabuu laughed as he flew in circles around Ganondorf. "I took Bowser's memory. But only his memory of you."

Anger overwhelmed him. "Why would you do that?" Ganondorf yelled.

Tabuu chuckled as he drifted overhead. "I'm the villain, I do all sorts of nasty things."

"Give him his memory back. Now!" Bowser yelled.

"I cannot." Tabuu smiled, "all lost memories are sent to Merlin. His memory is no longer in my possession."

"Well, then tell me how to get to Merlin." Ganondorf yelled.

Tabuu chuckled. "He lives in the heart of a temple."

"What temple?" Ganondorf demanded.

"The temple of memories of course." Tabuu laughed. He began to vanish.

"How do I get there?" Ganondorf asked even though Tabuu was no longer visible. His only reply was a deep sinister laugh. "Tabuu!" Ganondorf shouted, but there was no reply. "Tabuu!" He yelled again.

Ganondorf dropped to the ground in anger and pounded his fists in the dirt. He stood up and snapped his fingers and reappeared in front of the mansion.

"Fuck… I need help." Ganondorf said aloud before he entered the mansion. He threw open the doors and proceeded to go to his room. He was going to start his journey tomorrow, but first he had to consult the only one who could help him.

Ganondorf knocked on the door of Peach, Zelda, and Samus. Peach answered the door.

"Oh hey Ganondorf" Peach said, "How are you doing?"

"I'm okay. Is Zelda here?"

"Yeah," Peach turned to look to Zelda who was already getting up off the bed.

"What is it?" Zelda asked.

"I need you to consult your dreams tonight." Ganondorf requested.

"I will. What do you need to know?" Zelda asked.

"I'm looking for a man named Merlin. He resides in the temple of memories. I need to know where that is." Ganondorf said.

"All right." Zelda replied. "I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow morning."

"Thanks, Zelda. I appreciate it." Ganondorf said.

"No problem." Zelda smiled. "I'll do whatever I can to help."

Ganondorf turned and left the girls and went to his room. He was about to open the door when he heard a laugh come from King Dedede, Wario, and Bowser. Ganondorf sighed and slumped next to the door. He sat alone in the hallway, and finally drifted to sleep.
