Chapter 8:

Night in the Port of Sun: the streets were quiet except for the occasional dog or two barking. Lights were put out except for a few solitary squares of light from the homes of insomniacs. Night air brought cool winds from the ocean and the smell of the saltwater was became strong

Link slowly, groggily, opened his eyes. He found he couldn't see much at first because wherever he was it was dark. He lifted his head a bit to look around and winced, hand instinctively reaching for his neck. His neck had a bandage on the side and he had no idea why there would be. There was a bandage on the back of his head too, as he found when he lay back down and felt a pain on the back of his head.

Link shook his head slowly sitting up again. He realized he was on a bed, though it wasn't his own. The same went for the slightly oversized nightclothes he was suddenly wearing. The boy looked around and realized there was a curtain around his bed. He crawled to the end and found a seam, pulling it back and looking around the room he was in, his eyes slowly adjusting to the darkness. It was somewhat elongated, a row of beds on the side he was on and a door on the far end. All of the other beds were empty. There was a window to his right, and he climbed out of the bed to look outside.

It was an empty street, or rather a square. There was a fountain in its center and up against the buildings were what appeared to be booths for merchants. The merchants were not there now of course. It was clearly nighttime as Link figured from the darkness and the moon hanging overhead.

He jumped when he heard footsteps and turned around. Light shone underneath the door and Link heard the doorknob turn. He started to climb back into bed but the door opened and a man walked in. "I thought I heard something," he said. Link looked at the man confusedly. The man walked over to Link's side of the room and set the candle he was carrying down on the windowsill and looked out as well. "Peaceful, isn't it? It gets really quiet at night when everyone's done their business for the day and pack it in. But during the day it really comes alive. The music, the chatter. It's loud, but mixed together it's as beautiful and calming as the waves themselves."

Link continued to watch this man curiously. He didn't mean him any harm, that much he could tell. The man's presence still didn't explain where Link was or how he got there. Link jumped slightly when he realized the man's hand was about a foot away from his face. "My name is Joseph," he said. Link took his hand and shook it, but did not get the chance to introduce himself as Joseph cut him off, "Link, I know. Your friends told me."

Link nodded his head. "Er… where am I exactly?" he asked uncertainly, looking around as if looking for some obvious clue to make itself apparent.

Joseph gave a slight chuckle. "I guess it would have been more clear if I'd introduced myself as Doctor Joseph. I'm the town's physician," he said. "You're in the clinic, Link. You've been out of it since Jojo knocked you on the back of the head with that club."

"What?" Link asked confusedly, not remembering what happened.

"Hmm… not surprising that you don't remember," Joseph mused, leaning against the window frame. "After you beat up his crew Jojo knocked you over and then clubbed you in the back of the head. That's when you blacked out."

Link furrowed his eyebrows, beginning to remember the fight. He got to the point where he was meeting the mayor… and there was a noise in the harbor… a knock across his shins… and then he got hit on the head! "So it was Jojo?" he asked.

"Yup," Joseph nodded his head. "Really strong blow, too. Everyone there was enraged."

"Okay… if that's how I got the bump on the head, then what's with this thing on my neck?" Link asked, placing his hand on the bandage on his neck.

"Ah! Thank you for reminding me," Joseph said, stepping toward Link. He reached his hand for Link's neck, "May I?" Link nodded and took his hand away. Joseph slowly pulled back the bandage and inspected the wound. "Well, it's stopped bleeding anyway," he said. "Might take a week or so to heal though." He pressed the bandage back onto the skin again and stepped back.

"Yeah, but how did it happen?" Link repeated. "I remember a lot of the guys having daggers and stuff, but I don't remember any of them hitting me."

"Yeah, you wouldn't," Joseph said, crossing his arms as he leaned on the window once more. "That came from Jojo too, after you were knocked out."

"Huh? When?" Link asked.

"Like I said," Joseph said. "We were all enraged that he'd snuck up on you like that and were gonna go in and get him. But he grabbed you up and held that knife to your throat daring anyone to come closer. We started to think all that hard work you did was gonna come to nothing. But, you must've gotten the cut when Tetra, I think it was, kicked him in the head because we didn't see him actually nick you before that."

"What about Tetra?" Link asked slightly incredulously.

"Oh, that creep called you a spineless coward and she just leapt at his head, and wham! Kicked him so hard he went unconscious too," Joseph said. Link sat there blankly for a moment and took that in.

"Tetra did that?" he said.

"Mm-hmm. Think it had something to do with him calling you a coward 'cause afterward she shouted that you were the bravest person you'd ever meet."

"She said that?"

"Yup." Link thought about that for a moment a bit disbelievingly.

"Wait… where are they anyway?" he asked suddenly.

"They who? Your friends?" Joseph asked. Link nodded his head. "Well, the Rito are over in the Sureste Inn, right there across the square," he said, pointing at a building directly across the street. Link leaned forward and took a peek. "Mayor Joshi got them the best room in the hotel."

"And Tetra?"

"Well, the offer was extended to her as well, but she didn't want to," Joseph answered.

"Went back to the pirate ship, huh?" Link said.

"Nope."

"Well, then where is she?"

"See for yourself." Joseph pointed around the curtain on Link's bed. Link pulled it away and his eyes widened slightly at the sight he saw. Tetra was sitting in a chair next to his bed, her arms folded across her stomach and her head drooped back, leaning against the wall.

"What's she doing here?" Link asked, surprised.

"Like I said, Joshi offered her the hotel room, but she wanted to stay here and look after you," Joseph said. "I told her not to worry 'cause I'm a light sleeper and would wake up if something happened, but she still insisted."

"She… she did?"

"Mm-hmm. She hasn't left your side since you got knocked out," Joseph told him. "I gotta tell you, Link. You are one lucky guy to have a girlfriend like that."

"Huh-wha-?!" Link exclaimed looking back at Joseph. "Girl- She's not my girlfriend!" he said, waving his arms slightly.

Joseph raised one eyebrow at Link and shrugged. Link calmed down and looked away embarrassedly. "Well, then, she's one hell of a chum," Joseph said, standing and clapping one hand on Link's shoulder. Link looked up at him. "Well, I'm going back to bed, as should you. I don't know about you, but I've got house calls to make tomorrow." He gave Link's shoulder a slight shake before picking up the candle and walking toward the door. "Night, Link."

"Night…" Link answered as Joseph closed the door. He looked back at Tetra and shook his head climbing back into bed. He wasn't tired, but he tried to go back to sleep anyway. Not like there was anything else to do… He climbed under the sheet and lay down on the pillow. Wincing slightly, he realized that now that he knew about the wound on his neck, it would probably hurt a bit more. He rolled over onto his side, facing away from the wall so that his neck didn't come in contact with anything.

This was uncomfortable. He started to roll over again but his neck hurt, and his head too. This happened several times before he finally sat up frustrated. "At this rate I might as well sleep sitting up," he said to himself. Of course it didn't help that he wasn't even tired anymore, having slept the whole day. And his mind was swimming with thoughts.

He sat there for a while, allowing himself to just think, figuring he needed to sort it all out anyway. Memories of that day surfaced. Tetra, Medli, Komali, and the mayor greeting him after he'd "beaten" Jojo. Standing up to Mr. Piddles after Jojo had called Tetra a sea rat. Finding Rosari, Daena, and Daieno's names in the Tome of Lineage with Komali, Medli, Navi, and Tetra. All the way back to that morning when he and Komali saw Medli and Tetra coming down below decks for breakfast.

Link looked up, eyes narrowed slightly. There was some kind of repetition in those thoughts… something that appeared in every one of them… he went through them again looking for the constant and should have realized what it was when his mind kept lingering on it. He blinked his eyes, realizing what he was doing and refocused on what Joseph had told him.

He remembered being introduced to the mayor and being asked what they wanted in return for helping the town. They were about to answer when there was a sound of breaking glass out in the harbor. When he turned to look Link felt Jojo kick him across the shins and he fell. He tried to get up but he blacked out. He assumed that was when Jojo had hit him in the back of the head.

Then, from what Joseph told him, Jojo had grabbed him while he was unconscious and held a knife to his throat, ready to make an example of him. Jojo called him a coward, and Tetra snapped, kicking him across the head, causing Jojo to drop both Link and the knife, resulting in the cut on his neck. But why did Tetra snap like that? Was it just because Jojo had insulted him? Link knew he'd kind of done the same thing when Jojo called her a sea rat, but… could that maybe mean… was it at all possible that she…?

Link hastily shook the thought from his head. No, either of them would have done the same thing if it were Komali, Medli, or any of their other friends. He lay back down again, hoping that sleep would come. There was nothing special about it… just friends…

But still.

Link found himself staring intently at the curtain- almost through it. He closed his eyes, but they opened again to stare at the curtain. "Well… it definitely can't hurt to open it… and it is kind of making it a little warmer in here…" he thought. He sat up again and took hold of the curtain. Just as he was about to pull it back when he heard a soft snort on the other side, causing him to jump slightly. He shook his head slightly and pulled back the curtain.

There. That was better. He could already feel it cooling off… a little bit. Well, it still didn't hurt anything. Link lied back down again and closed his eyes. Hmm… shift a little bit. Get more comfortable. He opened his eyes again and saw Tetra sleeping in that chair. "She can't be very comfortable…" he thought. He closed his eyes but then opened one to peek at her. She was snoring a little bit, but that was probably from the odd position she was sleeping in.

Link closed his eyes once more but couldn't bring himself to keep them closed. He sat up in bed and looked at Tetra again and then at the next bed over. "Well, no one's using that bed, or any others for that matter. Tetra's certainly in need of one. If I'm really careful about it, I'm sure I could move her to the bed so she can sleep a little better. It's the least I can do really since she gave up that hotel room to watch after me."

Link felt he had made a pretty good case for himself and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He took a few steps toward Tetra and then bent down slightly, wrapping one arm around her torso and slipping one underneath her knees. With some difficulty he stood and took slow heavy steps toward the bed.

Tetra's eyes opened and she realized someone was holding her. "Hey! Who do you think you are?!" she demanded hitting him in the back of the head.

"Owowowowowowowowow!" Link cried.

"Oh, my gosh!" Tetra exclaimed as he set her down on her feet and held the back of his head with both hands. "I'm sorry! I didn't know it was you!" she said stepping away from him.

"No, no, it's okay. It's my fault. Just a bad idea," Link said, falling back onto his bed. He hissed in pain, eyes shut tight against the throbbing in the back of his head.

Tetra stared at him until he seemed to have gotten back to normal. "What were you trying to do, anyway?" she asked.

Link looked back up at her. "You looked so uncomfortable sleeping in that chair, so I thought I'd move you to the bed," he said, pointing to the bed behind her.

Tetra glanced back at the bed and then smirked slightly at Link. "Oh, that's sweet, kid, but really, I've spent my share of nights sitting up," she said.

"Okay then," Link said, taking his hands from his head again. "You snoring a little and I wanted it to go away."

"Hey!" Tetra said indignantly. "I do not snore!" He raised an eyebrow at her and smirked slightly. "…It was the weird sleeping position, okay?"

"If you say so," he said. Tetra frowned slightly and sat down on the bed behind her. "I also did it to kind of say thanks," he added.

"Thanks? Thanks for what?" she asked, testing the firmness of the mattress.

"Thanks for sticking around to look after me," he said. She looked up at him and then glanced away. "Joseph told me about how you declined the hotel room so you could keep an eye on me, and how you wouldn't leave me while I was knocked out."

"Oh…?" Tetra replied, though it sounded slightly forced. She seemed also to almost be avoiding his gaze.

"Yeah," Link said. He stared at her for a moment. "…And how you kind of saved me back there with Jojo, saying that I wasn't a coward." Tetra still refused to look at him.

"Yeah, well. You are holder of the Triforce of Courage, are you not?" she said. "Besides, with you knocked out someone had to rescue the hostage… I would've done the same thing if it had been Medli, Komali… random citizen number twelve," she gave him a small smile before looking away again.

"Heh…" Link laughed slightly at the joke. He didn't know why, but he was kind of disappointed to hear that she would've done the same thing for anyone. "Either way, thanks for defending me like that."

"I should be saying the same to you," Tetra said, finally meeting his gaze. "I mean, we could all see how mad you were about him calling me…" She trailed off dropping her head slightly.

"…Tetra?" Link said. She looked back up at him. "Jojo… and whoever else said that to you… well, they're just idiots… And they're wrong, because you are anything but a sea rat."

Tetra gave him a small smile. "Thanks, Link." He returned the smile.

"Well, I know I've been sleeping all day, but you were probably already up late," Link said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Tetra smirked, climbing under the sheets of her bed. "What time is it anyway?"

Link spotted a clock on the wall. "Just sound of twelve-thirty it looks like," he answered.

"Jiminy cricket…" she said. "Well, I don't care if you've been sleeping all day or not, you're not gonna be able to stay awake tomorrow if you don't sleep now," she added, lying down and pulling the sheets up to her chin.

"I know," he said. "It'll probably be easier without you snoring now," he smirked lying down as well.

"Ha ha," Tetra remarked sarcastically grinning as she closed her eyes. "Good night, hero."

"Night, princess." Link did find it surprisingly easier to fall asleep now…

Link felt the bed moving beneath him later that night and woke up. He opened his eyes and saw Tetra sitting in the bed next to him. He sat up, rubbing his eyes a bit. "Tetra-? What're…?"

"Nightmare. Just scoot over," she answered simply. Link looked slightly confused but made the extra room anyway. "Night again," she said, lying on her side, facing away from Link. Link nodded his head and was about to lie down again. The side he had been laying on the whole time was facing Tetra now he realized.

Urg… this whole thing felt weird. The only women he'd ever shared a bed with were his sister and grandmother. It was like "butterflies-in-the-stomach" mixed with nausea, mixed with fear, mixed with comfort. He didn't know what to feel… well, at least he could take comfort in the fact that she didn't want to do anything.

He looked up at the clock: three-thirty. He shook his head and looked back at Tetra who was already fast asleep again. Link couldn't stop staring at her for a few minutes. There was a stray clump of hair in her face, which, after a slight bit of inner controversy, he moved off of her face. Then he fought a strange urge he felt to let his hand stay on her face for a bit longer and laid down again.

Link pulled the blankets up to Tetra's shoulders. He then scooted closer to the wall, giving her more room, and rolled over to face said wall, even though that meant lying on his injury.

"Eh? What the hell happened here?!" Gonzo exclaimed. He, Senza, Nudge, and Zuko had just returned to the ship after sneaking out and spending the day in Port of Sun. The first thing they saw upon entering the ship was the mess that was Miss Tetra's bedroom. "What did you two do?!" he shouted, finding Niko and Mako working on cleaning up the disaster.

"Hey! Don't jump to any conclusions!" Niko said. "We didn't do anything. It was Selphie."

"Selphie?" Zuko repeated skeptically. "She suddenly woke up, got up, destroyed everything in the room, and then went right back to sleep?"

"Well, she didn't wake up exactly," Mako told a splintered coat rack. Niko glanced at him, took his head in his hand and turned it to face the others. "She just kind of started screaming and everything in the room started flying around."

"All the windows and picture frames and Mako's glasses broke because the scream was so loud," Niko said.

"Is that what the glass breaking noise out in the harbor was earlier?" asked Nudge.

"Most likely," Niko replied.

"And you swear you're telling the truth?" Gonzo said critically.

"Yes," Niko and Mako answered.

Gonzo looked around the room shaking his head slowly. "This is bad… cap'n and Link need to hear about this," he said.

"And just how are you going to explain not hearing the noise? There's no way you wouldn't have heard it if you had been on the ship," Mako pointed out.

"Aheh… that's actually not much of a problem any more…" Senza said.

Link squinted his eyes shut at the bright light. Finally, after much difficulty, he opened them and looked around the brightly lit room. "Finally you're awake!" Link looked to the right side of the bed. Komali was standing there smirking. "Bout time. Come on!"

"'Come on' what?" Link asked, sitting up. "What time is it?"

"Eh, about seven. Just in time for breakfast!" Komali said. "Now hurry up and get your clothes on! The guy that owns the Old Salt has a free breakfast waiting for us! The girls are already there." He threw Link's clothes at him. "Let's go, I'm hungry!"

"Yada yada yada," Link rolled his eyes smirking as he caught the clothes and began to change. "Hey, where's Joseph? I wanted to thank him for his help."

"House calls," Komali answered. "He was leaving just as I got here."

"And that was?"

"Bout an hour after sunrise," Komali said frowning. "Tetra came in there and woke me and Medli up shortly after dawn…"

"Heh," Link snickered. "Hope you and Medli didn't stay up too late."

"Hope you and Tetra didn't either," Komali countered.

"Like that would happen," Link rolled his eyes.

"I dunno," Komali said. "She's been acting kind of weird around you lately. Yesterday had to have been the weirdest though."

"Joseph told me how she snapped and knocked out Jojo," Link replied trying to get that thought out of Komali's mind. Before Komali could move on he added, "And how she refused the hotel room so she could stay and watch me."

"She didn't just turn down the hotel room," Komali said as he and Link started out of the clinic. "She wouldn't go looking for our missing royalty, chastise the pirates, whom we found having a jolly old time in town, or go back to the pirate ship. Navi was bugging the heck out of her to continue looking even though Link was asleep so that we wouldn't lose time.

"Oh… hey, where is Navi anyway?" Link asked looking around.

"Aheh…" Komali laughed somewhat embarrassedly. "She was really starting to bug us… so…" He pulled out a bottle from inside his shirt.

Link's eyes widened. "Are you kidding me?!" he exclaimed, snatching the bottle and releasing Navi from within.

"How dare you! All I was trying to do was get you to save Selphie, but no! Everything revolves around Link! Can't do anything without the hero of the winds! I swear you're lucky you're so much bigger than me! I would have- hey!" Navi rambled until Link quickly caught her in the bottle again.

"I see what you mean…" he said. Komali laughed.

"But yeah, Tetra wouldn't leave you for nothing. Not even after hearing about her room being a pigsty."

"Her room being a what?" Link asked.

"It's a total sty!" Komali said. "Apparently something happened with Selphie and she started screaming and making stuff fly around the room."

"What happened?" Link inquired as they made their way through the square.

"We don't know," Komali shrugged. "Though I think Mako might have his suspicions cause he seemed kind of evasive when we were asking."

"Hmm… that's really weird… I think it means we need to hurry up and find everyone," Link said. Komali nodded his head in agreement and narrowed his eyes stopping suddenly. "What's up?"

"I got a feeling someone's behind us," he said. They both turned around slowly and found their selves looking down at a group of kids. "Can we help you?"

"Are you the one that beat up Mr. Piddles yesterday?" one little boy asked Link.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, I guess I did," he answered glancing uncertainly at Komali.

"Awesome! That was so cool!" another boy said.

"How'd you do it?" one little girl asked.

"Yeah, Mr. Piddles is so scary! I wouldn't go near him!" another said.

Komali and Link laughed. "I've seen scarier stuff," Link replied.

"Wow!!" the kids were all wide-eyed.

"You were so great!" another little boy said stepping forward. He lifted his shoulders stiffly. "Mr. Piddles was all like 'Mmm!' And he was coming for you!" He walked slowly up to another boy.

"Yeah, but you just stood there cause you weren't afraid!" the second boy said. "You pulled out your boomerang and wham! Hit him in the head with it!" He pretended to throw a boomerang at the other boy, who pretended to go all stunned. The children all laughed at the dramatization as did Link and Komali.

"Then you pulled out that big hammer and when he ran at you, you just hit him with it!" said another boy pretending to hit a little girl who charged at him.

"He went flying into his friends and they all got knocked out!" the girl said, falling into a few of the children who all fell down giggling.

"And when all the other bad men started after you, you just pulled out your sword and did that cool spinning thing like this!" the first little boy said, holding his arm out as he began spinning in circles.

"Yeah!" all the other children shouted and began spinning as well. Link and Komali laughed at them.

"Ay! Niños!" Link and Komali turned to see a lady of about nineteen standing over the children, hands on her hips. The lady had golden-bronze skin, bright amber eyes, and fiery red hair that was pulled back near the top of her head. She wore a short-sleeve white blouse and calf-length brown skirt.

"Oh, dear gods, please don't make me kiss the ground again!" Link muttered to himself.

"What?" Komali questioned. Link just shook his head.

"Hi, Rosari!" some of the children greeted her.

"Rosari?!" Link and Komali exclaimed.

"Don't 'hi' me, you're all going to be late for school!" she said, though she wasn't mean about it, just concerned. "Get going or Mrs. Sherry will be muy enfadado."

"Ah!" they screamed slightly and turned on their heels to run in the direction of the street the clinic was on.

"Cheep cheep!" Most of the children stopped when they heard the noise. "Cheep cheep!" One little boy with skin like Rosari's but short jet black hair froze, looking a little scared. Rosari looked at him suspiciously.

"Luis…" she said somewhat warningly, holding out her palm. Luis looked away guiltily. "Luis."

"It's not me!" Luis said.

"Cheep cheep!" a small yellow bird poked its head out of his pocket. Luis grimaced and looked up at Rosari.

"Luis, you know you cannot bring Pyoko to school. Mrs. Sherry will take him away for sure," Rosari said as he put the baby cucco in her hand.

"But if I leave him at home he will miss me and keep calling for me," Luis said. "And Señora Elena said if he keeps peeping she will make him into sopa de pollo!"

"She said that?" Rosari said, looking in the direction of the opposite side of the harbor. "Ay… Abuela, you cannot joke about that…" she mumbled. Rosari turned back to Luis and crouched down to his level and held out her hand. "How about this, Luis. You will go to school and I'll keep Pyoko here with me so that Mrs. Sherry won't take him and Señora Elena won't turn him into sopa de pollo. And when we get home I will talk to her about turning your pets into food. Deal?"

"Sí!" Luis answered excitedly, placing the chick in her hand.

"Bueno. Now run along to school or you will all be late!" Rosari said standing up again.

"Okay! Bye, Rosari!" the children called as they ran down the street.

"Gracías, prima!" Luis called.

"Adiós!" She shook her head smiling and turned back to Link and Komali. "I'm sorry if they were bothering you," she said.

"Not at all," Link said. "I think they actually helped us a bit, Miss Rosari."

"Ah, please. No titles," she said waving her hand slightly. She looked at them a bit more closely. "Hey! You're the one that beat up all those thugs yesterday, aren't you?" she asked.

"Yeah," Link answered.

"Ah! I was just coming to get you two! Your girlfriends are waiting in the Old Salt café, as are your breakfasts," she said. Link was about to say that Tetra wasn't his girlfriend but Komali elbowed him in the arm. "Come on, I'll show you the way."

"Score!" Komali whispered to Link as they followed her down the street.

Me: So, did you guys like? Definitely more light-spirited than the last few chapters. Just as I requested before with Komali and Medli, I ask that you guys leave an "Aw!" for Link and Tetra in your reviews. I just couldn't resist. Those two need to just admit how they feel about each other, dammit! Oh, wait… I'm the authoress. It's MY job to make sure they do that…

Tingle: Wasn't that already on your to-do list for this story though?

Me: (smacks Tingle upside the head- hard)

Tingle: T.T

Me: That's what you get. Keep your mouth shut! (remembers readers) ; Aheh… hi, guys. I wanted to make a few things clear about Rosari and Luis. In case you guys don't feel like translating the Spanish vocab in there- Spanish being the equivalent of the Gerudo tongue (for the purpose of myself and others)- prima/o means cousin. Abuela is grandmother. Rosari is Luis' older cousin. Luis is her father's brother's son. Abuela/Señora Elena is Rosari's mother's mother. Luis is an orphan and stays with Rosari and her grandmother but is not blood related to Señora Elena. You'll learn more about them next chapter, but I just wanted to explain that right now. And I can't wait until next chapter when I can get some real practice with my Español.

Quite easily one of my favorite parts of this was the little kids. I just love little kids and when I had that idea I ran- no, sprinted with it. And Pyoko the baby cucco is based off of the same Pyoko from the Oracle of Seasons manga. And if no one could tell, the comment about having to kiss the ground again was because Rosari looks like Suna.

The part in the clinic between Link and Tetra- I was just dying to do a scene like that. The second part of that scene, when Tetra climbs into bed with him, was based off of two things: Case Closed episode Mountain Villa Murder (part one or two, not sure which) and an rp that me and Kearra did. Kearra, please don't hurt me for using that line… .

Anyway, I'll let you all go. I'll either have another chap up soon or actually get some work done. R & R!

WTF? oO? It won't let me upload the chapter document! Plan B... change a previous document and use that instead... clever, no...?
