And yes, this is everyone's new look that I'm going to give them in a moment. They'll look like this (along with the bottom half/their new outfits which I'll describe later in said moment) from now on unless I specify otherwise. :D
Link: Ines looks evil.
A/N: AHAHAHA. XD Tell me what you think of them! Please R+R! Onto ze chappy!
-:: Last time ::-
"Woohoo!" Gilbert cheered. "Time to bail out a monkey!"
"Bail out a what?!" the two Deku guards asked as they popped out of the ground, glaring.
"I said... time... to... bail out... a... funky... tune."
"Oh. RIVER DANCE, DEKU MAIDEN!"
Nicole started to river dance in the background. "Tralalalala!" The two guards nodded in content and went back down their hole.
"You guys, you guys, I have a plan!" Link said in enthusiasm. Everyone gathered around him in a circle. "Okay, now listen up, this is what we're gonna do..."
–
` Deku Palace :: Night of The First Day + 7:03pm `
–
"Any day now, Link."
"Um... um..."
"I say we just bust in there and steal their shoes and run for it!" Nicole said in determination. Everyone else eyed her. "... What? It could work..."
But they were all silenced as a new sound interrupted their chat. From the heavens, a familiar and creepy high voice came...
"A moment, children!"
Suddenly orange sparkles surrounded everyone, and they were all whisked out of the Deku Palace.
–
` North Clock Town `
–
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" everyone screamed as they fell from a portal and landed on each other in a heap. They looked around; they were at the Great Fairy's fountain in Clock Town...
"What the... what are we doing here?!" Tatl grumbled. They were finally getting somewhere with their quest dengit! Now what!?
"Ahh, I apologize deary," the Great Fairy sweatdropped as she popped up. "But first things first."
"NOOOO!" Gilbert cried as he protected his Deku eyes. "WHY DO YOU HAUNT US LIKE THIS?!"
She finally noticed their wooden forms. "Ooh! My, my, you all look different!"
"It's just a mask," Brian said, raising an eyebrow.
"... Right. Take 'em off please." The six took their Deku masks off, turning into peachy-fleshed humans again.
But then everyone did a double take at the Great Fairy. "... Wait a sec. How'd you become whole again?" Ines asked, remembering how she would break into pieces again every time they reset time.
"Oh, a kind boy helped me! With blood red hair and amethyst eyes..."
The team tried thinking of anyone they knew with those characteristics. But nobody came to mind...
"Oh well, that is not the issue right now." The Great Fairy pointed at the six humans. "The Goddesses believe your clothes are old and out of date and that you all need a change of pace!"
"You mean, new outfits?! AWESOME!" Ines giggled, jumping around. Nicole cheered too and started dancing with her. The boys since they were boys didn't really care.
Hayarpi looked down at her dark blue denim skirt. "Why, what's wrong with these clothes?"
"Silly, no one wears denim skirts anymore." the Great Fairy eyed Ines. "... Or jackets."
Ines stopped dancing. "What're you talking about? People still do! ... A few..."
"That's beside the point."
"... You're not making sense."
"Do you want new outfits or what?!"
"I WANT NEW OUTFIIIIITS!" Ines sobbed, falling to her knees and bowing at the fairy. Everyone else 'wtf'-ed at her OOC-ness.
"All righty then! Here—take these new garments!"
The Great Fairy held her arms out, orange sprinkles flying from her hands and surrounding the six. It looked like those transformation scenes in Sailor Moon © where everyone's body was sparkly and danced around as they changed clothes.
"It's graceful-looking for the girls, but a little disturbing with the guys," Tatl commented as she watched Link bend backwards with a leg bent and his arms out. The Hylian sweatdropped heavily. Poor guy couldn't control his actions, what else could he do?
Gilbert twitched as he jumped through the air, arms reaching upwards. "A little?"
"I feel humiliated," grumbled Brian as he twirled around in a circle like a ballerina.
But instead of beams of light/bubbles/thunder/etcetera surrounding them, the girls had silky thick ribbons of their respective color and the guys had bandages/chains with their respective color. Wow, bandages. Now that's tough. (A/N: Shuttup Ryo! x.X;;) xD
Soon enough, after very dramatic, pretty/disturbing transformation sequences...
Everybody was lowered to the floor, the orange sparkles fading away. "Oh, and here." The Great Fairy gave Nicole, Brian and Ines some contacts!
"Our vision is good already, so whuzzis for?" Brian asked as he took it from her.
"No reason. But the Goddesses want you to wear them."
"... Okay."
After the three put their contacts on, Nicole looked down, then squeaked in happiness as she saw her pants. "WEE! PLAID! YAY!" Then she squee-ed again as she saw her shirt. "... OOH! THIS IS COOL!" Haha, I can describe them now! (ahem)
Nicole had on a coal black headband and was wearing a collared sleeveless u-neck black shirt, and underneath that a gray cami that had a random gray-line design showed slightly at the bottom. Around her neck was a short gray double-tie. On her legs were black/gray plaid skinny pants, a black studded belt with a silver buckle and black knee-length boots over her pants, along with black fingerless gauntlets that stopped at the middle of her forearms. She had on earrings, a collar-like black necklace around her neck and other silver fashionable jewelry of the sort. Her hair was still an ebony black and had bangs. But the contacts she just put in made her eyes a daaaark crimson! Nicole looked at the fairy. "What happened to my trenchcoat?" The Great Fairy shrugged. Nicole pouted.
"My turn! My turn!" Ines cackled, waving her arms around. Okay fine. Ines wore a dark brown elbow-length-sleeved see-through shirt with some black strings criss-crossing in the top center. Over that were dark red spaghetti strap rompers with the top part thinly laced in black, and the bottom part of her shorts were ribbed. Also around her waist was a thin black cutout circle chain belt. And also so her legs weren't so bare, she had matching dark brown knee-length tights. On her feet were booties and all sorts of jewelry on her wrists. She had wrist-length fingerless gauntlets, and her boots and gauntlets were the same color: a murky cherry, darker than her romper. Another big change was that her hair was up in a high ponytail and was a dark hot pink color! And the contacts changed her eye color too!
Everyone stared.
Ines flipped her new hair, grinning at them with her also-new cyan colored eyes. "How do ya like me now!?"
"The same," Gilbert grinned. "But with that outfit you do look cuter."
Ines giggled at Gilbert calling her cute. But then everyone turned to him, boring their eyes into his figure.
Nicole and Hayarpi blushed. Ines squee-ed. "EEE LOOK AT YOU! YOU GOT HOTTER!" she squealed, tackling Gilbert to the ground.
Gilbert sweatdropped. The fairy had given him new hair as well; now it was dark cobalt and lengthened/thickened a bit. His eyes were still light brown. He had on a black t-shirt with a faded yellow circle design in the top right, and over that a dark gold zip-up washed vest (yellow on the inside) which was currently unzipped. He was wearing fitted faded black cargo jeans with a daaark gray belt and a gold/black buckle that hung limply to the side, and daaark gray boots. Around his neck was a shark tooth necklace and on his arms black fingerless gauntlets with dark gold buckles that went to the middle of his forearms. He was really hot.
"It's weird hearing that from another guy," Gilbert sweatdropped at me. Link made a tiny scoff in his corner, remembering that experiment in East Clock Town...
"Hayarpi got cuter!" Nicole giggled, pinching Hayarpi's cheeks. The Armenian girl sweatdropped. Her hair and eyes were still brown, but got lighter a shade or two. Now her hair was braided and then twisted up in a large flat bun, held together by a black ribbon, yet a portion of it still hung down in the front. She wore a blue sleeveless collared shirt with some criss-cross details on the side of the waist. Also she wore a long black tie, and a navy blue pleated mini skirt with two black skinny belts that kind of made an 'x'. Beneath her skirt were black undershorts, and her dark blue fingerless gauntlets went all the way to her elbows, and on her legs thigh-high dark blue boots.
"Ooh, pleats," Hayarpi grinned as she looked down at her skirt.
"Cuter than denim."
"I agree!"
"Hey look, Brian's eyes look nicer!" Gilbert teased, poking the other boy's cheek. Brian attempted biting him. Gilbert sweatdropped. Indeed the contacts the fairy gave him turned Brian's eyes a shady green color. His hair was still black but had no gel to hold it up and was lengthened a bit as well. He was wearing a beige long-sleeved thermal, and over that a dark brown 3/4 sleeve collared pocket shirt with the middle two buttons done, so it was open at the top and his beige shirt could be seen from the bottom too. He wore dark blue jeans and a few black and silver bands on his wrists. His wrist-length fingerless gauntlets and his boots were both dark brown as well. And actually his thermal was a little lower-cut than usual so his upper chest showed a bit. And around his neck was a necklace with two thin black cords. Technically Brian was the one with the least changes, but changing his shirt and the cut was enough to make him look a lot better...
And the rest of the girls thought the same. Ines was 'ooh'-ing and Hayarpi's jaw was dropped, drool oozing out from the corner of her mouth.
Nicole did a cat call whistle at Brian. "WOO! HOTTIE~!"
Brian's eye twitched at her and he turned away, looking at the ground in embarassment. Of course though, with a hot guy like him and his hot clothes and hot embarrassed side profile, the action was pretty hot too.
Hayarpi started nose-bleeding. Ines sweatdropped and gave her tissues, the Armenian girl smothering her face with them.
Aaanyway, and now, finally... Link!
Everyone turned to him.
Link did a cool pose. "I'm a model, ya know what I mean?" Yes, Link received some changes to his outfit too! Of course he wore the mandatory forest green tunic, but he received 'upgrades.'
Like now he had an off-white long-sleeved collared shirt underneath his tunic, so the collar and the long white sleeves showed just like his adult outfit. Also like Link's adult outfit, he had off-white fitted pants beneath his tunic which now covered his once-bare legs. Notice I said pants! So while they were fitted, they were not the tight-looking-leggings Adult Link had in Hyrule. His undershirt was like that too. Between the tunic and white shirt was some chain mail, and the tunic itself had a little more sewing done on the side of the sleeves along with other miscellaneous details. He still had his green hat, brown gauntlets and boots, and his sheath and belt remained brown as well, with their gold buckles.
(A/N: Basically imagine a younger 13-year-old Twilight Princess Link! Except his hair's parted in the middle, he has regular gauntlets on both arms, and the thing about his pants and sleeves being fit like actual pants and sleeves and well yeah, just like that picture I provided above! xD
In case ya missed it, here's the picture of everyone:
http://i31(DOT)tinypic(DOT)com(SLASH)alhhrk(DOT)jpg
Don't forget to replace the things in the parentheses with the actual thing. :D Link's not included b/c hey, we all know what he looks like hehe.)
And of course, everyone had their swords and shields on their backs as well.
"Ohmygosh Liiiiiiinky-poo!" Nicole grinned, skipping over to him and poking his shoulder. "Yaaay! Ya look so foine!"
"Why thank you!"
All of a sudden she gasped. She took Hayarpi and put her to the left of Gilbert and Ines. "Blue, yellow and red: Romania!"
Then she bumped Hayarpi out of the spot and placed herself in it. "BELGIUM!"
And then she shoved Gilbert to the floor, shoved Ines on top of him and dog-piled them both. "GERMANY! YEEAAAHH!"
Brian had sunk to the floor by this time, cradling his pounding head in his hands. Hayarpi was rubbing her arm from being bumped and Ines and Gilbert started yelling at and chasing Nicole all over the place for abusing them.
Link stared blankly. "Uh..."
"Earth countries, Link. Flags."
"... Ohhhhh."
"Aaaaanyway... so this is your permanent hair and clothes for all forms now, okay?" The Great Fairy said. Everyone nodded. "All right then, so my work here is done! Any complaints about the changes?"
Everyone shook their heads, completely pleased with their new selves! If I were them I'd be too, yanno? Those are some pretty hot outfits they got. ... But anyway.
The Great Fairy nodded in approval. "All right, then! I'll return you to the Deku Palace now—"
"Wait!" Tatl called. "I get no change?"
"Don't you think your look is cute already?"
Tatl paused. "... Actually yeah, I do." Everyone else almost fell over.
"See? Yeah so that's it. Time to return to your adventure, Heroes and Heroines! As usual if you run into trouble, don't hesitate to come to me. AHAHAHOOOHEEEHEAHAHAHHEEHEHAHHEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!" Then the Great Fairy held out her arms, orange sparkles surrounding the seven and whisking them away.
–
` Deku Palace `
–
Everyone screamed as they fell from a ball of orange sparklyness, landing on top of each other. The ball faded away just as the six got up again.
"Hey, so, I wonder who that guy was that helped piece the Great Fairy?" Link muttered as he rubbed his back. "Blood red hair and amethyst eyes, huh...?"
"Well, it's no one I know," Tatl shrugged. "Maybe it's somebody from that alternate reality you guys are always talking about."
Link and the earthlings exchanged looks. They tried to think of anybody, anyone they met in Hyrule or Termina with those characteristics... but really, nobody came to mind. Amethyst eyes were sort of rare.
"Maybe he's one of those people we'll meet in the future," Hayarpi tried. "Foreshadowing?"
The team looked at naGami-sama.
(A/N: ... HEHE. :D)
Realizing they wouldn't get an answer, they just shrugged and turned back to each other.
"Well anyway. Doesn't Gilbert look kinda older?" Brian randomly pointed out.
Link tilted his head at the now-blue-haired boy. "He does, huh! I guess it matches now though. Since he's the tallest."
"And he got so much hotter too," added Nicole. Hayarpi nodded in agreement. Ines giggled, proud of her boyfriend.
Gilbert laughed, scratching his head sheepishly. But suddenly, a piece of wood fell from the sky and landed on him. Gilbert yelped. "OWW! What the heck!?"
Nicole suddenly froze, getting a strange feeling. She looked around suspiciously, wondering what the cause was... but... there was nothing...
She shivered a bit. That was weird...
"You know, you ain't so bad yourself," Hayarpi murmured as she eyed her own boyfriend, grinning widely.
Brian flashed a smirk at her. "Right back at'cha, babyface."
Hayarpi turned around just as she started nose-bleeding again. Brian started cackling, just rubbing his girlfriend's back (how that would help a nose-bleed who knows, but whatever). The rest just handed Hayarpi some more tissues...
"Okaaay," continued Tatl, completely ignoring the bleeding and the wood that fell out of nowhere (literally). "We should really continue with the monkey-bailing-thing now."
"Good idea! I just remembered my plan, too!" Link cackled with more enjoyment than usual.
Ines blinked at him. "Why are you cackling with more enjoyment than usual?"
"Because." Link raised his arms to the sky, laughing maniacally. "I'M SO HAPPY MY ARMS AND LEGS AREN'T BARE ANYMORE! AND THEY'RE NOT TIGHT EITHER! NO MORE FREEZING AT NIGHT! MUAHAHAHA!"
The earthlings SWEATDROPPED!
"Yes anyway. So, the plan is..."
–
–
All right, picking up the pace!
Everyone slapped their Deku Masks back on. Ines, Gilbert and Link made sure the Deku guards were in the ground before sneaking into the right corridor of the Inner Palace Garden, while Tatl, Hayarpi, Brian and Nicole went to the left corridor.
"I'm stuck with the lovey-dovey couple!" Nicole sobbed as she clutched to the wall, far away from the two. Tatl rolled her eyes.
Brian and Hayarpi just dragged her off to search for that guy who lived underground. But in their part of the garden, they only found money and a random heart container, so quite obviously the man was on the other trio's side...
"Hole in the ground!" Ines pointed out.
"Yaaaaay!" Gilbert giggled like a little girl, jumping into it. Link giggled too and followed suit. Ines's eye twitched.
Gilbert fell screaming, landing rather hard on his back. He grumbled as he got up. "Ooh, falling... my omega—" he was cut off abruptly when Link landed on him, and then Ines landed on them both. "OW! CAN'T BREATHE HERE!"
Sweatdropping, the two scrambled off and looked around. "So... where are we..." Ines mumbled. Directly in front of them was a spring, a few grass patches, and a sign.
"We're underground," Gilbert said. Way to be obvious. He glared at me.
"Pft, well yeah, but what's..." Ines drifted off when she noticed Link walking up the ramp to their left, reaching a man sitting on a carpet and eating something from a big bag.
Link grinned his Deku grin. "Hi."
The man stopped eating. "Why, WAAZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!" he cackled, bits of food flying from his mouth onto Link's face.
"EEEWWWWWW!" Deku Link burst out sobbing at the disgusting-ness.
"Ewww," Gilbert laughed from behind him.
The man turned to him. "WHY, WHAT'S WRONG!?" More bits of food.
"NO GILBERT, NOT YOU TOO!" Link sobbed from the floor, a hand reaching out.
Gilbert shook his head, falling to his knees. "NO! I CAN'T CONTINUE! GO ON WITHOUT MEEE...!"
Ines ignored them both, going up to the guy. "Hey dude, you selling those spiffy magic beans?"
"Why, indeed I am!"
"Can I buy some?"
"Why, of course!"
"... Why do you say 'why' at the beginning of every sentence?"
"Why, because it's cool!"
The Hispanic girl was smart enough to lift her shield every time he talked so she wouldn't get sputtered on. "... Yeah... can I just have one now please."
"Why, SHOOOOOOOOORE!" ("Oh my god," Ines twitched when she noticed some food chunks flying over her dark pink head.) The man stuck his arm around the shield, a magic bean in his hand. "Why, have a free sample!"
"Eh? Wow, thanks!" Ines gasped as she took it, surprised at his kindness.
"Why, no problem, but you gotta water 'em or else nothing will happen!"
"Any kind of water?"
"Why, of course not! Spring water!"
"Where the heck can I find that!?"
"Oh look, Gilbert!" Link said, pointing. Gilbert looked. "There's a small pool of spring water! Let's clean up there!"
"..." Ines turned back to the man, raising her shield higher. "Nevermind. Thank you!"
"WHY, THANK YOU!"
–
–
Outside the Deku Palace, everyone met up again. "So, uh, what do we do with this again?" Ines asked as she held the magic bean up.
"Follow meee!" Nicole went to the right and hopped over the poisoned waters onto the lily pads, everyone following her.
But for some reason, Nicole felt as if she was being watched... and she felt something else, the same weird feeling she got when Gilbert got hit with the wooden plank earlier. As if something wanted to make its existence known to her, but for some reason was holding back.
She looked around, but spotted nothing... again. "Dude, what is this! I'm getting a little creeped out—"
"ACK, NICOLE, KEEP GOING!"
"WHA!?" she whirled around to see Brian falling into the waters. Hayarpi, mortified, followed him. Ines tried saving her but slipped, and Gilbert did the same but bounced off Ines's back. Tatl slapped her forehead.
Nicole and Link (who had been smart enough (for once) ("HEY." Link grumbled.) not to move from his lily pad) stared as everyone spazzed in the poisonous waters.
"Ahaha... oops."
After dragging the four out, everyone managed to reach the side of the palace, yanking their Deku Masks off as they saw a mound of soft soil there. Gilbert shoved the magic bean inside, watching a small sprout pop up. "Okay! Where's the spring water?" he looked around.
Everyone twitched when they saw Link finishing a bottle of water, wiping his mouth. "Phew! This is good water! Is it Arrowhead? Fuji? Sparklets?"
"..."
Brian threw a rock at his head.
"OWW, WHY!"
"CUZ YOU'RE AN IDIOT!"
"What'd I do!?"
"You drank the water that was supposed to water the bean," Hayarpi explained, sighing heavily.
Link blinked. "... Ohh. No problem, I have another idea!" he went to the sprout and lifted his tunic, unzipping his (new!) pants.
The girls screamed, covering their eyes. Brian and Gilbert looked away. "DUDE, DO NOT! PLEASE!" Brian yelled.
"Shh, I'm concentrating!" Everyone shut up when the sound of pit-patting reached their ears. They exchanged glances when they heard Link zip his pants back up. "Okey dokey! All finished!"
Ines sighed as she turned around. "That's not gonna work Link, the guy said only spring water would d—" she was cut off when the ground began rumbling beneath them. In a matter of seconds, a large plant the size of a truck sprung from the area the sprout was.
"Hoo hah!" Link cackled, jumping on it. "Come my friends, it's almost dawn!"
"..."
"Maybe it's cuz he drank the spring water, so..." Gilbert murmured.
Ines sighed, climbing onto the plant too. "Whatever! Let's just go!"
Nodding, everyone else climbed onto it too and was hoisted upwards.
Slapping their Deku Masks back on (they were getting used to the pain), popping out of Deku Flowers, almost getting caught by stupid security guards, killing Mad Scrubs and some more running later...
The white monkey tied on a pole gasped as he spotted the six Deku Scrubs in the entrance to his right. "You...?!"
"What's up, homie!" Nicole grinned, hopping down.
"SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone else hissed in her face.
She sweatdropped. "Sorry..."
"Anyway," Hayarpi went up to the pole. "We—"
"Do as you will!" the white monkey said, tossing his head to the side overdramatically. "I didn't kidnap the princess, but none of you will believe me! I have nothing more to say to you Deku Scrubs..."
"What? But don't you remember us, we're the—"
"Yes! The ones to send me to my fiery death! Go on! Bound my legs and restrict me of my freedom! Yet all you desire will still be beyond your reach! Only with the power of the heart and the belief that you refuse to see, that's ensnared in the furious prickling vines will set the wings of understanding free and into the skies beyond perpetuity—HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!!"
Everyone had turned away when the monkey began his wannabe Shakespeare speech. He just 'hmph'-ed and looked away, continuing to struggle in the rope.
"So I guess he doesn't remember us for some reason," Brian sighed.
"He doesn't wanna listen to Deku Scrubs, so..." Hayarpi took off her Deku Mask, restoring her back to her human state. Everyone did the same.
Ines started jumping around. "Ooh! Ooohhh! Do we get to hear our outfits now!?"
You already did!
She looked down at her dark red romper. "... Oh yeah!"
I can't believe you forgot...
"Well it's not my fault, we—"
"STOP TRYING TO STEAL MY GIRL!" Gilbert yelled at me, hugging Ines possessively. The other four "SSHHH!"-ed at them harshly. Oi, I'm not trying to steal anything! Ines just giggled at being hugged by her hot blue-haired baby love.
"What was that!?" the monkey said, turning his head around. He spotted the six humans, and then squeaked. "What the! How'd you get in here!?"
"Do you believe in magic!? In a young girl's heart!" Nicole sang happily.
"Oh. At last! Believers!"
"Actually, your brothers just asked us to help."
The monkey blinked. "... Oh. Ugh, I'm terribly sorry! But keep quiet, if they see you, they'll capture you. Here, just try to cut my rope, we'll talk after that!"
Nicole unsheathed her sword, a maniacal glint in her eye.
"NO NOT YOU! SOMEBODY ELSE!"
Brian dragged Nicole away as Hayarpi unsheathed her own sword. She hacked at the rope, but it remained intact. "... What the heck?" Hack. Hack. Hack. "It won't cut!"
"Oooh, magic roopppe," Nicole mumbled as she popped up again, poking it.
"Gah, no good, huh...?" the monkey sighed. "Oh! I know! Do you guys happen to have an instrument with a resonance that carries a long way?"
Gilbert stared. "What?"
"Loud sound, moron."
"Oooaahh. ... What'd you call me?"
Link ignored their bickering, pulling out his ocarina in question. The monkey shook his head. "No, that won't do! Anything louder?"
"Why do you want something loud? Then that'd attract the attention of the guards and the King," Tatl reasoned, but she was promptly ignored too. "... -.-;"
Link looked around. "But... this is the only instrument I have..."
"Lies!" Nicole yelled, slapping the Deku Mask over his face.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"SSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone whispered at him harshly.
Deku Link blinked, and then took out his pipes. The monkey stared. "OAH! YOU HAVE THEM! Just like the princess... Deku Pipes!"
Nicole began snickering. "Eww, the princess has pipes?" Pause. "... Are they big?"
Brian hacked a bag of rocks at her head.
"Really, what's with you and throwing rocks?" Hayarpi sweatdropped.
"By the way," the monkey laughed a little sheepishly. "Who are you guys?" ("Short term memory, jeez!" Ines sweatdropped in the background.) "... Anyway, that's not important now! Listen; I went to Woodfall Princess with the temple to find out about the watery poison."
Link stared. "What?"
"I mean..." he shook his head. "I went to Woodfall Temple above the waterfall with the princess to find out about the poisonous waters, but she was captured by an evil monster! And the King won't listen to what I say—"
Brian waved his hand. "Yeah yeah, we heard this already, teach us the song!"
"... You understand my plight?"
"Sure."
"Great! I'm so glad you guys are willing to go in my place and save the princess!"
"Wha—! I never said—"
"Thank you so much! I owe you all!"
Everyone bore their eyes into Brian. Brian wondered why he always got them into things like this... "Okay, here's the song that'll open the temple, the princess taught it to me..." the monkey sang seven notes, Link repeating on his blaring Deku Pipes.
"You learned the Sonata of Awakening!" Gilbert said, posing. "This melody awakens those in a deeeeeeeep sleep!"
Ines eyed him. "Where do you get this info?"
"Internet."
But of course, with the loudness of the instrument, the King and the rest of the Deku guards heard it. "Everyone, did you hear that? This melody, which only the Deku Royal Family knows..."
The monkey gasped. "Yes! Finally, they're realizing I'm innoce—"
"IT PROVES THE FOOLISH MONKEY'S GUILT! LET HIS PUNISHMENT COMMENCE!"
Everyone gawked. "WHAT!?"
"I told you," Tatl sighed, then was swiftly shut up when Deku guards surrounded the seven.
"Take the shortcut the Deku use to get to Woodfall Temple!" the monkey yelled as the guards carried him off over their shoulders. "Hurry, if you don't, I will be punished!"
"Quiet, traitor!" a guard yelled, smacking him over the head.
"NOTHING IIIIISSS ETERNNNAAAAAaaallllll..."
–
–
"AAAHHHHHHHH!" everyone screamed as they were thrown out. Then they screamed again as they slapped their Deku Masks on, and were stupidly let back in by the not-so-good outside guards.
"Grjjfmgjgwojglgitr...!" was the first thing the seven heard upon entering the royal chamber again. In the back of the room was the Deku King, moving his hips around in a circle while twirling his rod. (A/N: He seriously does that.) Above the fire was a large pot of water, and the white monkey was tied upside down, occasionally being dipped in it.
"Oh my gosh, poor thing!" Hayarpi sobbed.
"HEY!" the monkey screamed. "Who are you guys!? Help me please!"
"Uwahaha!" the Deku King cackled. "Tonight we shall have monkey stew!"
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Dip!
The seven ran out of the chamber screaming, but not before Nicole took a picture of the Deku King pelvic thrusting. ... Ooh, disturbing.
–
–
After entering the little cave in front of the Deku Palace, they reached the swamp again. They used the Deku Flowers and floated from big peach flower to big peach flower, taking turns. Link was currently burrowed into a Deku Flower, and as he popped up, he started heading towards the platform beside the waterfall.
However, as he flew...
"OH MY GOD, LINK!" the earthlings screamed. "WATCH OUT FOR THAT—"
"OWWWIEEE!" Link squeaked as he was hit by a flying brown thing. He let go of the flowers and started falling, but large claws caught his shoulders before he landed in the poisonous waters.
"Whoopsie, sorreh there, mate!" the owl cackled, flying to the platform and dropping Link up there, perching himself on the tall stone. The other six had already made their way to their area. Link fell over in shock.
Nicole gasped, pointing. "You!"
The owl blinked, replying with an Australian accent. "Mei?"
"Yes you!"
"What about mei?"
"What about you?"
"You said mei."
"So?"
"So yes."
"... What?"
Everyone else slapped their foreheads. "Anyway," the owl sighed. "G'day, Heroes and Heroines of Time! Long time no sei!"
"... Who are you again?" Brian asked.
The owl almost fell over. "I'm Kaepora Gaebora! Have you kiddies seen those statues that look loike mei?"
Ines blinked. "Oh yeah, those. We just ignore 'em and keep going."
Kaepora twitched. "No, don't overlook moi beauties! They're goin' to be of great help to ya! Sei," he gestured at the stone he was sitting on. "There're some musical notes kaa-ved into this rock. Boai playin' those you'll learn a magical melody that'll fly you to the places moi owl statues ahh at! It's a real toime saver! Now, I'm goin' to leave be-foh that peskeh bird comes and tries to grab moi nuts!"
"Your what!?" Nicole gasped.
Kaepora held up a bag of acorn nuts.
Nicole stared.
Suddenly a pelican-like bird came swooping in. "KAEPORA! I WANT YOUR NUTS!"
"CROIKEY! NEVAAAAAH! YOU SHALL NEVAH TOUCH THEM!"
The seven twitched as Kaepora flew away, the pelican-looking bird chasing after him.
"..."
"Well okay," Link laughed.
Nicole laughed too. "Whoa! Jeez, I thought he was talking abo—"
Tatl bonked her over the head. "Yeah, yeah, we all knew what you were thinking. Let's just get to the temple already!"
And so they jotted down the song and the seven moved on.
–
` Woodfall Temple `
–
"Woo hoo!" Gilbert cheered after they summoned the temple with the Sonata of Awakening and then flew in with the Deku Flowers. "Finally, our very first temple—what the heck is that hideous thing!?"
Everybody looked where he was pointing. In the middle of the room was a pink, carrot-y flying thing... Tatl bonked Gilbert. "Stupid! That's one of the pieces of the Great Fairy!"
"I thought she was put together earlier," Link sweatdropped.
"The one in Clock Town ain't the only one, smarty," answered Tatl, rolling her eyes. "Remember, that one said there are four more Great Fairies, and in each temple, fifteen stray ones... maybe we should use that gift she gave us?"
"You mean this ugly thing?" Link mumbled, taking out the Great Fairy Mask. Its hair started to sparkle.
Nicole 'ooh'-ed at it, taking it from him and putting it on her face. "Cool! Shinnyyy..."
"MOMMY!" the stray fairy in the middle of the room squeaked in all its rapture, flying towards Nicole. "MOMMY YOU'VE COME TO RESCUE ME!" it flew right into Nicole's face, sticking to it.
"AAAHHHH! EWWW! GET OFFA MEEEE!"
Sighing, everyone went ahead (Nicole following while stuffing the stray fairy into a bag). They reached an area with two floors, more purple water, doors and a flower-shaped contraption in the middle of it all. Tatl rang her bell. Everyone looked at her. "That thing in the middle... looks like a torch, huh? And it smells faintly of fire in here, so maybe we need to light that thing. But with what...?"
Everyone looked around. In one corner of the room was another unlit black torch, but then to their right was a lit one with insects flying around it. "Ah! Over there!" Link called, pointing. Everyone looked.
"So, we have to find a way to get to the second floor then..." Hayarpi mumbled.
Gilbert unsheathed his sword. "Let's get to it! Who shall lead in this temple?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Fifteen minutes later...
"Leave it to me!" Ines said after fifteen minutes of complete silence, sweatdropping as she stepped forward.
Everyone sighed. "FINALLY!" they eyed each other. So, Ines looked around a bit, trying to decide what to do first...
After a moment she slapped on her Deku Mask and hopped over the floating red flower things, reaching a room to the west with more water and a Deku flower in the center. In that room, Ines instructed Link to go and get the key in the chest that was to the left before everyone advanced to the room ahead of them.
"OHHH NOOOO!" everyone shrieked when they noticed what was in the room: 21 SNAPPER TURTLES!
"What the heck is this!?" Gilbert sobbed, hugging Ines around the waist. "I think naGami wants to kill us or something!"
"It's the possessed turtles!" Nicole whined, hiding behind Link.
Link sweatdropped and hid behind her. Nicole hid behind him. He hid behind her.
And they were so persistent with it that they were getting closer to a snapper each time they hid behind each other. Eventually Link yelped as he bumped into something sharp, looking behind him, but was too late when he got flung to the side by a possessed turtle. Nicole gasped. "NUUU, LINKEEEHH—" yet she was cut off, getting hit too.
The other four unsheathed their swords, gulping.

Later...
"What a piece of (BEEPBEEPBEEP!)!" Ines screeched as they exited the room, clothes slightly torn. In her hand she was crumbling the dungeon map. "All that for a lousy piece of paper!? My clothes got messed up too! I don't need this crap! I quit!"
"No! You can't quit!" Gilbert gasped, hugging her knees. ("What's with the clinginess?" Tatl sweatdropped.) "We need to stop the Skull Kid!"
"... I was just kidding..."
"... Oh."
"Somebody likes jumping to conclusions," Hayarpi giggled.
Gilbert eyed her. "I'm not the only one."
"Eh?"
"Do you remember, SEVEN MINUTES IN HEAVEN?!"
"NOOOOOOOO!" Hayarpi sobbed and clung to Brian.
Brian waved his arms. "OH MY GOD! NICOLE AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO NICOLE!?" Link butt in as he completely ignored what Brian said, shoving his sword at his throat.
"Didn't you hear him?!" Ines snapped, pointing her sword at Link's neck.
Nicole gasped, taking her own sword and pointing it at her. "Hey! Don't you hurt Linky-poo!"
Gilbert unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Nicole. "You can't point at Ines like that!"
"Don't hurt Nicole!" Hayarpi yelled, pointing her sword at Gilbert.
Everyone then looked at Brian. Brian stared back. "... No way, I'm not going to point my sword at my own girlfriend to complete the circle."
"JUST DO IT!" everybody yelled. Brian 'eep'-ed and pointed.
Nicole shook her head, clicking her tongue in disappointment. She leaned over to Ines. "That's messed up." The Hispanic girl nodded, agreeing.
Brian's eye twitched at them. "YOU TOLD ME TO DO IT!"

Somehow, the six managed to continue through the dungeon and get the compass while still pointing swords at each other. They entered another room while walking in a circle.
"YOU GUYS STOP THAT!" snapped Tatl, bonking all six of them. "It's weird and annoying!"
"Sorry!" Nicole giggled, being the first to lower her sword before scooping the fairy into a hug.
She started shrieking. "EWW! NICOLE COOTIES!"
A few rooms later...
"Where are we?" Gilbert mumbled, looking around, yet all he saw was darkness. The seven were going down a pitch black hall, with no light whatsoever. Even with Tatl's glow they could barely see anything...
"I think the question is, where the heck is this leading us to?" came Link's voice. "For all we know this hall could lead us down a trap door to our fiery deaths in the pits of—"
Ines reached over and smacked Link. Or what she thought was Link anyway; she really ended up smacking Nicole. "OWW!" she yelped, smacking back.
"WHO THE HECK SMACKED ME!?" Tatl screeched, bonking someone.
Brian growled. "OWW! WHY YOU!" Smack!
"AIIE!" Whap!
"GRRR!" Ouch!
"GAAHH!" Yowza!
"ARGHH!" (insert hitting sound effect here)
Eventually the seven ended up on the floor, bruised and wiped out from beating each other up. "Okay look. This isn't working," Hayarpi mumbled, sitting up.
"Ms. Duh!" Nicole sighed as she stayed on the floor.
But then suddenly she heard something... a voice... a... sexy-kinda male voice...
'Your friends are amusing.'
"Aren't they?" the Asian girl laughed back in response, sighing up at the darkness. "I love 'em to death!"
Link poked her shoulder. "Nic? Who're you talking to?"
"That sexy voice that came out of nowhere."
"What sexy voice that came out of nowhere?"
"The sexy voice that said you guys are amusing that came out of nowhere. Then I just responded. ... Out of nowhere."
Everyone else eyed each other in the darkness. How they did that even though they couldn't see each other, who knows, but whatever.
"Um..." Ines started. "I think Nicole's going crazy..."
"What're you talking about, she's already crazy," Brian grumbled.
Nicole nodded, agreeing. "Yeah! But really, you guys didn't hear it?"
"No."
"..."
"..."
Then Nicole finally cracked, after getting weird feelings twice and hearing sexy male voices out of nowhere. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! GHOOOOOOOSTS!" She got up and began running around in circles.
Hayarpi ignored her. "Anyway! Let's push that aside for now. We shou—oh hey, a torch!" she pointed. And everybody looked; faintly in the darkness dim flames danced in the distance...
"THE LIGHT!" Nicole gasped, getting up and running towards it.
"No, whoever-you-are!" sobbed Gilbert, not recognizing her figure as she ran frantically away. "Stay away from the light! Stay away!" Tatl twitched at him.
But soon enough Nicole came back with a lit Deku Stick, pulling up her friends from the floor. "Hi! Welcome to Woodfall Temple, I'm Nicole, your tour guide! Please do not touch anything or do anything stupid without permission! If you break it, ya buy it!"
"So she's hearing voices and she thinks she's a tour guide... we really are doomed," Tatl sobbed as they went down the hall, eventually moving on to the next room.

Everyone cackled together as they exited a room.
Then they stopped and eyed each other. "... Okay that's weird. It's like when we all talk at the same time," Hayarpi mumbled.
"Aaaanyway," Nicole cut in, waving around her new item: a Hero's Bow. "Woohoo! Spiffy! Come on, rejoice with me in this moment!" she raised her arms up. "Everybodeh say HOOOO!"
"HOOO!" (only) Gilbert laughed.
Everyone else stared at him.
Gilbert coughed and slowly put his arms down, looking away.
Tatl couldn't hold back a snicker and looked at Ines. "Heh, right. Let's keep going."
Ines led them to a room where they faced a ("EEEEEEEKK! RABID FROG AND POSSESSED TURTLE COMBINED!" Hayarpi shrieked.) ... Yes, that one. After defeating said frog and turtle, the seven came out of the room with the boss key in hand, ending up on the second floor. They noticed they were pretty level with the torch they saw earlier, so Link shot an arrow through it, lighting the torch on the flower platform. It raised and began spinning, they shot more arrows, stepped on a foot switch, and then opened the final room!
"Hey baby," Gilbert randomly said, poking Ines. "If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?"
"Of course not, I'd be flattered—" Ines paused as she finally got it. "... (SLAP)"
"OWW!"
"You weirdo! Jeez..."
"I don't get it," Link mumbled. "Wasn't that a compliment?"
The earthlings eyed him.
"Let's split up," continued Ines anyway. Gilbert cackled in the background. "So me, Link and Brian to the right, then Gilbert, Nicole and Hayarpi to the left. Okay go!"
Everyone split up and found whatever they found at their respective sides before meeting each other on the platform on the other side of the room.
"Already?" Link sweatdropped as he eyed the door that was chained and locked with the boss insignia. "That's kinda lame."
"Yeah, this temple was short," concurred Hayarpi. Ooh, 'concur'! "But oh well, it's the first one anyway."
Brian shrugged. Then he looked around. "SECRETARY LADY!" he suddenly snapped, making everyone else jump beside him.
Nicole appeared, business suit on and the works. "Yes, sir!?"
"Do we have all the stray fairies?"
The Asian girl pulled a large, pink, glowing bag out from her dimensional pocket, peeking in.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" all fifteen fairies squeaked.
"AHHH! THE PINK LIGHT! IT BLIIIINDS MEEEEEEE!" sobbed Nicole as she shielded her eyes.
"... I think that's a yes," Gilbert sweatdropped.
Everyone nodded. Nicole tied the bag close again and shoved it in her pocket. Link took out the boss key and opened the lock, everyone heading inside to face the first boss of their adventure...
