Five days. Five rainclouds.
Toon Link had been using Pit's old potty training calendar for 5 days now and he had one raincloud for each day...though they weren't divided evenly considering he'd had 3 wet nights and 2 daytime accidents so far.
But this morning, when Toon Link woke up to a completely dry bed, he realized he still had a chance to turn this week around! He reasoned that if he managed to get only sun stickers on the rest of the days of the calendar then surely these last 5 days would be chalked up to a fluke and he'd successfully be able to avoid having to wear diapers at night like Isabelle had threatened.
As Toon Link laid in his dry bed looking at his calendar with determination, his view was suddenly and rudely interrupted by the brown haired angel, Pit.
"Oh, you're already awake," he said through a yawn, his eyes barely open.
"Yup!" Toon Link said with an eager smile and a nod.
"Alright, let's get you some new sheets. You can shower after Lucas is done," Pit said, going through the motions of the recent mornings.
"Wait, but I-"
Pit pulled the covers off Toon Link and paused in surprise, not having expected a dry bed at all. His eyes shifted to the chart, which had a sun on it this morning. "You...you didn't wet the bed?!" he asked, finally waking up.
"Yeah!" Toon Link said, trying to act angry that Pit was surprised, though he himself was having trouble hiding the proud smile on his face.
"Woo-hoo!" Pit cheered. "High five!"
Toon Link, finally accepting the praise and not wanting to leave Pit hanging, gave a high five with good spirits.
Pit, excited as he was, then turned to address the rest of Cabin B. "Hey guys, Link is dry this morning!"
"Yay…" Popo said sleepily, rolling out of his bunk.
Blue sat up and threw a pillow at Pit's head before rolling over to go back to sleep.
"It's no big deal," Toon Link insisted, red in the cheeks and definitely not having wanted that announcement made.
Pit lowered the pillow from his face and gave Toon Link a toothy smile. He then asked, "By the way, have you went potty this morning?"
"No, I just woke up," Toon Link answered.
"Oh no! Don't worry, just try and hold it," Pit said, suddenly jumping down from the ladder next to Toon Link's bunk and running for the bathroom.
Toon Link sat up, confused, as he watched Pit throw the bathroom door open. From inside he heard a girlish yell, to which Pit answered, "No time to explain, take this and come out here!"
A few seconds later, Pit emerged with a dripping wet Lucas in tow, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. "All yours, Link!" he called across the room.
"It's not an emergency!" Toon Link yelled back, covering himself with his blanket to hide from embarrassment.
"Well let's not take any chances!" Pit insisted, leaving Lucas behind and marching to Toon Link's bed.
"It's okay, Link," Lucas said, sort of backing into the corner of the room and trying to make himself sparse. "Just go."
As Pit climbed the ladder, Toon Link looked around the room. Once again the commotion had caused everyone to start looking at him expectantly. Once Pit had grabbed his hand, he sighed, "Fiiiine…" before letting himself be dragged to the bathroom.
o-o-o
"So what are you gonna do today?" Popo asked, throwing on his blue coat as Nana waited by the door so they could go to their match.
"I think I'm just gonna hang out here and play some video games," Toon Link answered. Really he had one goal today: stay dry at all costs. He had the day off, no plans with anyone, and could focus on keeping his calendar sunny for the next few days. If the best way to achieve that was to stay in his room, practically anchored to the bathroom, then so be it.
"Well I've got a match soon," Pit joined in, now dressed in his fighting gear and fully awake. "I wont be able to keep an eye on you, so I want you to try to use the potty any time you even think you feel the need. You want me to set a timer to remind you?"
"I don't need you to set a timer!" Toon Link shot back angrily, though he still took the suggestion to heart and set a timer on his phone once he knew Pit couldn't see his screen.
"Okay, okay! But also, don't forget to do your bladder exercises, they seemed to work last night," Pit told him.
"Bladder exercises?" Toon Link echoed.
"Yeah, the ones we learned from Wii Fit Trainer yesterday," Pit replied nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah…" Toon Link replied, his cheeks going red with embarrassment at yesterday's accident. He was so upset about the incident that he hardly spoke to anyone after getting back to the cabin in an obviously wet tunic. But finally he got to thinking, "Wait...why was Wii Fit Trainer teaching us bladder exercises?"
"Oh, well when I mentioned you were having troubles staying dry she offered to-"
"Why did you mention that to her?!" Toon Link shouted, slamming a fist on the table.
"I don't know, we were just talking and-"
"Who else knows?!" Toon Link shouted back.
"Just Wii Fit Trainer!" Pit insisted. "And Palutena...oh yeah, and Daisy. And I think Daisy told Luigi so he could pass it along to Mario for some medical advice."
"Yeah," Lucas interrupted, also at the lockers getting ready for a match. "Ness said Luigi brought it up during a meeting with the Council of 64."
"All of the council knows?!" Toon Link asked, looking absolutely mortified. He sat down and put his head face down on the table.
Pit came up and rubbed his back sympathetically. "Look, everyone's just trying to help," he said.
"Yeah, Isabelle and Orange are worried about you," Nana added, not helping matters.
Just then the last of the Cabin B came out of the shower, all dressed and ready for battle. "What's wrong with him?" Blue asked, nodding toward Toon Link.
"How about you, did you tell anyone I've been having accidents?" Toon Link asked, turning miserably to Blue.
"No, of course not!" Blue said honestly. "But Steve brought it up yesterday. Not sure how he found out..."
Toon Link rolled his eyes. How the news spread so far was anyone's guess, for all he knew the entire manor knew about his potty chart challenge.
"Anyway guys, we should hurry to our matches or we're gonna be late" Lucas said, interrupting them before they could give Toon Link even more bad news. Lucas knew from experience that the less they made a fuss about Toon Link's bladder, the better.
