Link and Midna Come Alive- Literally

Link and Midna Come Alive- Literally!

Karaoke

The next day Link felt a lot better. He still had a tiny bit of a headache, but it went away when I gave him some Tylenol. My parents still hadn't gotten home yet, and as I was waiting for them to arrive, the phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi, honey. It's Mom," my mother said on the other end.

"Oh, hi. Where are you?"

"Well, you see, your father and I were meeting up with some old friends of ours, and they asked us to go to the museum with them for the day today."

"And your point is . . .," I prompted her.

"Well, we won't be home until about seven at night, so do you think you and Serena could look after the house while we're gone?" my mother asked.

"You mean . . . we get the whole house to ourselves?" I asked, getting excited.

"Yes. Is that okay?"

"That's great!" I said, smiling. Midna looked at me oddly.

"You could invite your friends Erin and Jake over if you want," my mother said.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Just don't invite anyone else, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks!"

"No problem. Oh, and your sister is staying at her friend's house for the whole day as well, so you don't need to worry about her."

"Alright. Bye!"

"Bye, sweetie," my mom said, and hung up.

"Yes!" I said, putting the phone down and pumping my fist into the air.

"Um, Alex, are you okay?" Midna asked.

"Guess what?" I said. "We get the whole house to ourselves today! That means you two don't have to hide today!"

"Awesome!" Link said.

"Sweet," said Midna.

"Oh, yeah, my parents said Jake and Erin could come over today too," I said.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go call them!" Serena said. I picked up the phone and then I paused.

"Hey, Midna, you want to use a phone?" I asked.

"Um, sure," she said. She floated over to me and looked at the phone.

"Okay, when I punch in the numbers, just put your ear up to this end and talk into the other," I explained. "If you hear Jake's voice, talk to him. If it's not him, give the phone to me, okay?" Midna nodded, and I punched in his number and handed the phone to Midna. We all watched as Midna listened.

"Hello?" Jake said, picking up the phone.

"HI JAKE! IT'S MIDNA. CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Midna screamed into the phone. Link looked freaked out and Serena tried not to laugh as I explained to Midna that you didn't need to scream into the receiver.

"Midna? You don't need to yell! You nearly made me deaf!" Jake said.

"Can you come over to Alex's house today?" Midna asked.

"Uh, yeah, I guess. Does Alex know about this?"

"Of course she knows! It's her house," Midna said.

"Okay, I'll come over right now. Is that alright?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Okay. Well, bye." Jake hung up.

"Hello? Helloooo? HELLO? JAKE, ARE YOU OKAY? DID A BULBLIN SHOOT YOU OR SOMETHING?" Midna yelled into the phone.

"Midna, stop screaming! He hung up. Now give me the phone!" I took the phone away from Midna and put it down.

"That's a weird invention. How does it work?" Midna asked me.

"It runs on electricity," I said.

"Say no more, I don't want to know," Midna said, putting her hands up. She and Link thought electricity was to confusing to understand, so they didn't want know how anything worked if it ran on electricity.

"Can I call Erin?" Link asked. "I want to use the phone."

"Okay," I said. "Do you remember what I told Midna?" Link nodded and I dialed Erin's number.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey Erin? It's Link! Guess what? I'm talking on the phone!" he said excitedly, jumping up and down a little. Midna rolled her eyes.

"Uh, good for you," Erin replied. "What's up?"

"Can you come over to Alex's house today?"

"Yeah, right now?"

"Uh-huh," Link replied.

"Okay, I'll be right over. See ya!" She hung up.

"Hello? Erin? Oh no, she's gone!" Link exclaimed.

"Calm down, she just hung up," I told him. We all waited for Jake and Erin to come over and when they did, they were happy to hear we had the house to ourselves.

"So . . . what are we going to do?" Jake said after a while.

"We could watch TV," I suggested.

"Nah," Midna said.

"Ooh, I know! We could watch Making Fiends!" Erin suggested.

"Yeah, let's see if Vendetta kills Charlotte this time!" Midna said.

"We've watched the whole series five times in two days. Vendetta is not going to win," Link said. Midna glared at him.

"How about truth or dare?" Serena said.

"Yeah, that's a great idea!" I said and Erin nodded.

"What's that?" Midna asked.

"It's a game where you dare people to do stuff and they have to do it," Jake explained. "You can also ask people questions and they have to answer them."

"You can make them do anything?" Midna asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Ooh, sounds like fun," Midna said, smiling her creepy smile.

"Uh-oh," Link muttered as Midna turned her smile on him. We all went into my room and sat in a circle.

"Okay, since you thought of it, you can go first Serena," I said.

"Alright Link, truth or dare?" she asked.

"Um . . . dare!" Link said.

"Okay, Link. I dare you to . . . sing Bop to the Top from High School Musical with Midna!" she said.

"Aw, come on!" Midna said.

"You do know what that is, don't you?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, we watched both movies with Alex and her sister," Link said.

"I'll get my karaoke machine!" I said. I got up and brought it out of my closet. I ran into my sister's room and grabbed both her High School Musical cds, just in case.

"I'm not being an imp for this," said Midna, and she turned into her human form.

"Here you go," I said, handing them each a microphone.

"Let's get this over with," Midna said. I put the cd into the player, and Midna and Link started to sing. After the song was over, Midna and Link put the microphones down.

"Wow, you guys really can sing," Serena said when the song ended. Midna glared at her and sat down.

"Alright, it's my turn," Link said. "Serena, truth or dare?"

"Truth," Serena said.

"Aw . . ." Midna said. The game went on until it was Erin's turn.

"Link, truth or dare?" she asked.

"Uh . . .," he said, thinking.

"You'd better pick truth," Midna said.

"Dare," Link replied, and smiled at Midna.

"Okay, I dare you and Midna to sing Fabulous from High School Musical 2,"

Erin said.

"Argh!" Midna exclaimed, shaking Link by his shirt.

"Go on," I said. They got up and I switched out the cds.

"Wait!" Erin said as I put the song on. I paused the track and she ran over to my closet.

"Here Midna, put these on," she said, giving Midna a pair of dark sunglasses. "And sit on this." She pulled out a beanbag chair from the corner of my room and out it front of Midna.

"I'm not doing that!" Midna said, throwing the sunglasses at Link.

"I dare you," Erin said, smiling evilly. Midna snarled at her.

"Fine! Give me those!" She snatched the sunglasses out of Link's hands and put them on and sunk into the chair. They sang the song and we were all laughing by the end.

"I'm not singing anymore High School Musical!" Midna yelled, after the song ended and she threw the sunglasses into the wall, nearly breaking them.

"Okay," we all said.

"Alright Erin, truth or dare? You'd better pick dare!" Midna said menacingly.

"Are you crazy?! Truth!" Erin said. Midna glared at her. She asked her a question and the game progressed until it was Link's turn.

"Hey Link, come here," I said. Link walked over and I whispered something in his ear.

"What did you just tell him?" Midna asked when he sat back down.

"Midna, truth or dare?" Link asked her.

"I don't trust what Alex told you, so truth," she said. Link smiled.

"Can you talk like Alvin the chipmunk?" he asked her.

"What?! What kind of question is that?!" she exclaimed.

"Just answer it," Link said.

"Well, yeah, I guess I can make my voice that high. Why?" Midna asked suspiciously.

"Truth or dare Midna?" I asked her.

"Why me again?! Okay, I pick dare this time," she said. I smiled.

"Excellent," I said, rubbing my hands together. Midna looked really freaked out.

"I dare you to sing Coast 2 Coast by Alvin and the Chipmunks!" I said.

"WHAT?!" Midna exclaimed. "What is it with you people making me sing?! And like a chipmunk, no less!"

"Come on Midna, sing!" Jake said.

"Yeah!" Erin said.

"We want to hear you!" said Serena.
"Do it for me?" Link asked. Midna looked at us all.

"Fine," she sighed. "But I'm not doing this for you, dog boy!" She got up and I put the cd in. When the song was over, she turned off the microphone and dropped it on the ground.

"That's it! I quit! That was to degrading! Making the princess sing like a chipmunk . . .," Midna muttered angrily.

"Wow, you do sound like Alvin! I never noticed before, but now I see it!" Link said. Midna walked up to him and lifted him up off the ground by the front of his shirt.

"I don't sound like a freakin' chipmunk!" she yelled at him.

"I mean . . . you sound just like yourself. Not like a chipmunk at all! Will you please put me down now?" Link asked her. Midna rolled her eyes and dropped him on the ground.

"Well what are we going to do now since truth or dare is out of the question?" I asked.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving," Jake said.

"Yeah, me too," Serena agreed.

"Let's go downstairs and get some food," I said, and we all stood up and went into the kitchen.

"Do you have pizza or brownies or hamburgers or cookies?" Link asked.

"Uh, we might have some cookies, but I don't want you getting a sugar high again," I said.

"Aw . . . wait! I see them!" Link exclaimed as Erin opened the pantry and Link caught sight of the cookies. He started to run over to them.

"Oh no you don't!" Midna said, grabbing Link around the waist and holding him so he couldn't run away. "For the love of twili, will you CALM DOWN?!" Link finally calmed down a bit and Midna let him go.

"We have Chef Boyardee," I said. "And that's about it. My parents were supposed to go shopping to day, but I guess that's not going to happen . . ."

"We'll help you cook it!" Link said.

"As long as it doesn't involve flour or raw eggs," Midna said, and she turned back into her imp form.

"Nope, you just have to heat up the stuff," I said.

"Okay, well we'll wait in the dining room," Jake said, and he, Serena, and Erin left.

"Here, just take this and put it in the microwave, and set it for one minute on medium," I said absently, handing them a can while getting out glasses for everyone.

"Uh, okay," said Link, taking the can and putting it in the microwave. He closed the door and looked at the buttons.

"I think that's a one and that says medium," Midna said, pressing the button for two minutes on high.

"Nothing's happening," Link said after a minute.

"Let me see," said Midna, reaching for the door handle.

"No, Midna! Don't!" I said as she touched the handle. Unfortunately, she didn't hear me, and she opened the door. There was an explosion, and Midna screamed.

"EEEEEEK! THIS STUFF IS ALL MUSHY AND I'M COMPLETELY COVERED IN IT! GET IT OFF!" she screamed, shaking her head. Jake, Serena, and Erin came running into the kitchen to find Midna completely covered in Chef Boyardee. Link gingerly reached out a finger and scooped some of the stuff of Midna's arm.

"Hey, this is really good!" he exclaimed, licking his finger. Midna lost it.

"GRRRARRR!" she yelled, and started chasing Link around the house.

"NO! Come back! You're getting it all over the carpet!" I yelled, running after them. After a few minutes of chasing and Link getting roughed up a bit, we finally caught Midna and she went into the bathroom to wash the Chef Boyardee off.

"I am never cooking again!" Midna said when she came back downstairs.

"Well, we're pretty much out of food now," I said.

"But I'm still hungry!" Link whined.

"Shut it, dog boy!" Midna snarled at him.

"Maybe we should just go out to eat," suggested Erin.

"Yeah, there's a Starbucks right around here. We could just go get some frappachinos and maybe a snack," Serena said.

"Sounds good to me," I said.

"Let's go!" Link said, jumping up out of his seat.

"Okay, hold on," Midna said. When she was in her human form, she started swaying on her feet and held her head.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Link asked, catching her as she almost fell over.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just, switching forms takes up a lot of energy," Midna explained, leaning against Link for support.

"What happens if you use all of your energy up?" Jake asked.

"I pass out and turn back into my imp form," Midna replied. "Actually, I'll turn back into my imp form if I pass out anytime, no matter what the cause, of if I'm hurt very badly and I can't keep my concentration anymore."

"Oh. Well, can you still go out?" Jake asked.

"Yeah. Come on!" Midna said, standing up straight and walking over to the door.

"Wait!" I said as she opened the door and started walking down the street. "You don't even know where we're going!" And with that, we set off to Starbucks, forgetting that sugar isn't the only thing that can make someone hyper . . .
