Another Update! WOO!
Ok, I'm going to try my best at doing weekly updates unless something comes up. Oh, and a friend asked me what a half-tail was (Shelda's hairstyle) and I think a few of you guys might not know what it is; a half-tail is a ponytail that's only halfway pulled through the hair band. Just so you know. :D

YESH! FINALLY; NO INTERRUPTIONS!
Alright, lets continue before she comes back!
On With The Story!
Link sat on the couch across from his father in the armchair in their sitting room. He waited patiently as his father processed the information he just gave him, ready for any questions. As Link waited, the boy happened to glance out the window to see the sun far ago have set.
'So much for going to the Four Swords Shrine..' Link thought tiredly. Deciding he might just have to ride at night, Link continued to look out the window as the silence continued. However, after a few moments of nothing said, Link started to become impatient and looked over at his father to see the man looking right at him.
'Jeez.' thought Link. 'That's not creepy. Not in the slightest.' Link looked at his father, expecting a question, but when he got none, Link couldn't help but ask.
"What? No questions? Not a single one?" his father shook his head before finally speaking up;
"No," he said in a quiet voice, which at the same time Link suspected and was surprised by. "I have a lot of questions."
"Such as? I can't answer them without you asking; I'm not physic." at that, Link's father couldn't help but chuckle at his son.
"Alright." he said, sitting back in his armchair to look at Link with full seriousness.
"First question- If its true that the two at Talon's place last night was in fact Shadow and his friend, then what happened to Shadow to make him so, as Malon put it, 'badly injured and sick'?"
"Well, I was a bit confused at that." admitted Link. "But I think after destroying the Dark Mirror, Shadow was fined with treason against the Dark Realm, and was severally punished for it." His father made a small 'hmm' sound as he looked down and thought that over.
"Ok," he said, looking back at Link. "Second question- Who told you to go to the Four Sword Shrine?" Link couldn't help but sigh as he answered;
"I don't know; by the time I opened my eyes, they-or she- was gone."
"She?"
"Yeah, it sounded like the mixture of tiny bells and a little girl.-" right as Link said that, a memory flashed through his head of all four Links together talking. He was sure there was more to it, but that was all Link could see clearly before a major headache erupted in his head. No matter how many times he tried, every time Link tried to think closely on a moment where all four Links were together, he would only get a second or two of the memory before a headache appeared without warning. This time, of course, was no different. Link couldn't help but give a gasp of pain as he grasped his head with both hands, eyes closed tightly from the sudden pain.
"Link?" asked his father, taken aback from his son's sudden show of pain.
"Mem.." mumbled Link, eyes still tightly closed. "M-memor-memory.." the Captain, understanding what was going on, got up to crouch in front of the couch to look at his son.
"Okay," said Link's father, knowing easily how to handle this. "just listen to my voice Link.-" before he could continue, however, Link shook his head vigorously as he grasped his head tighter.
'I need to remember who that was.' he thought as he tried to ignore the pain to see more of the memory.
'I know that voice, I've met her before. I know it!' Link's breathing became uneven as he focused more and more on the particular memory.
Green felt the heat of Death Mountain only for a second before everything went black fro a second before light filled his vision again. He looked around to see them standing on the outskirts of Hyrule Field, a safe distance from Death Mountain's lava.
"We were able to defeat Shadow Link!" exclaimed Red. For a second, Green felt just as happy as Red, that is, before Vio spoke up.
"No" he said plainly.
"What?!" asked Red, surprised.
"No yet." he added in the same plain voice. "They still have the Dark Mirror. If we don't break that mirror-"
"Hold it." interrupted Blue, a hand up to emphasize his command.
"Don't forget we finally got back together." Blue said with a smile. "We should celebrate first!" Red made no hesitation to run up and hug Vio, saying in his usual cherry voice.
"I'm glad you safe Vio. I was so worried!" However, as he fully embraced Vio, Red accidentally stepped on the same toe Green had when they fought before. It still being sore from that, Vio couldn't help but jump backwards on one foot while he held his sore toe, saying things that Green promised in his mind to never repeat.
"It's real painful the second time." said Blue in a matter-of-fact tone as Vio fell down on the ground. The others took this as a opportunity to surround him and tease the purple clone.
After a couple minutes, the four finally calmed down. Holding up his Four Sword, Green said in relief;
"We're finally together."
"When it comes to the Four Sword," said Blue confidently. "it sure is best to stay as four."
"Say, guys." said Red "Since we haven't been together in a while, isn't there something you want to say?"
"Hmm." said Green "I guess so." Looking at the others Green spoke with a 'I'm sorry' smile on his face.
"I'm finally able to appreciate being four instead of being alone. You feel stronger when you have allies."
"I feel the same way" said Blue as he rubbed his nose, cheeks pink from embarrassment. "We've learned to respect each other too."
"I always thought nothing of myself but only as a cleaver guy." said Vio, side glancing the other with a soft smile on his lips. "but I learned that our warm passion for each other is more important."
"I've always been saved by you guys." said Red, raising his fist in a cute posture of being tough. "and thought I was losing strength little by little. But I think I've become a bit stronger."
"Each of us has grown stronger." said Green "It wouldn't have been possible if we stayed the way we were. Maybe we should thank Shadow Link for this?"
"So the Four Heroes have finally turned into one again." said a voice that made Green turned over to the voice. It was the fairy the Blue Maiden sent to them at the beginning of their journey. Her voice was like ones of a little girl's mixed with tiny bells.
"Now let us go!" she exclaimed, her voice tinkling in a bell like way.
Link gasped as his eyes flew open. That was it! It was the Blue Fairy! Before Link could tell his father, however, a wave of pain coursed through Link's head, causing said boy to close his eyes again to try and banish the pain. It was in vain, for both Link and the Captain learned that the easiest way for the headache to disperse, is to have his father talk to him and have Link himself focus on his voice. It kept Link in the present instead of the past.
"D-dad.." Link gasped out, hoping his father was still there. Luckily, he was.
"Yes?" asked his father, still in the same place as before from what Link could tell.
"T-t-..ta-lk" Link stumbled out, trying his best to focus on the feel of their worn fabricate couch. Captain, immediately understanding what he was trying to say, nodded before rambling.
"Ok, so during the time you were asleep, Xander, Valenzuela, and I were talking about when you were at the local tavern with Malon that one time helping her deliver those milk cartons, how we ordered Little Ravio; ya'know, that boy around your age that sells little tinkers? Anyways, we asked him to 'keep a eye on you', and when he returned, the only thing he said was 'Next time, sir, when you ask me to watch someone, make sure that something will actually happen.' and left. We couldn't stop laughing at that!" by now, Link breathing evened and was slowly leaning forward, his hands dropping from his head and eyes fluttering close. Chuckling to himself, the Captain caught Link in his arms to prevent the boy from falling head over heels. Link's father carefully picked Link up and was ready to carry him up to his room, but was taken aback when Link slowly slipped out of his arms.
"I," said Link quietly as he sat back onto the couch. "I remember.." the Captain sat beside his son as the said boy rubbed his temple, talking as he did so.
"It's foggy, but I know for a fact who that voice was from Karkariko Village."
"Who?" asked his father.
"The Blue Fairy." his father blinked a couple times before looking at Link, confused.
"You mean the one who helped you before?" he asked.
"Yeah." replied Link, laying back and staring at the roof.
"The problem is; I don't know why she wants me to go to the Four Swords Shrine.." Link trailed off as he thought about Zelda's dream.
'Maybe that dream is going to come true, and the Blue Fairy is trying to get me to pulled the Four Sword before its to late.' thought Link as he stared blankly at the ceiling. Looking out into the pitch black night, Link sighed as laid back and sunk into the couch. Unknowing to both Link and the Captain, as they thought deeply about the recent information, both of them drifted off into a deep sleep, leaning into each other on the old couch.
(Line break) cuz why not actually add it?
Shadow jumped up in surprise, accidentally falling off the bed, landing hard on his injured back.
"…Ow.." said Shadow deadpanned as he laid on the floor between the bed and wall, his legs vertically laying on the side on the bed.
"OH! I'm so sorry!" exclaimed the voice, coming into Shadow's view. To Shadow's surprise, the voice belonged to a familiar blue ball with wings.
"You!" exclaimed Shadow as he used his arms to prop himself up. They shook and wobbled as they tried desperately to hold Shadow's upper body weight. The Blue Fairy noticed this as she flew closer to Shadow.
"Yes; me. Are you alright? You look a bit… ruffled." Shadow slowly pulled himself up further to a point where he was leaning up against the wall, legs now on the floor.
"I'm fine." he said, rubbing his now aching right arm. "A lot has happened in the last week or so, that's all."
"You can say that again." replied the Blue Fairy deadpanned. Shadow looked up at the bright light, suspicious confusion in his eyes.
"What are you doing here anyways? And what did you mean earlier?" he asked.
"Oh right!" exclaimed the fairy, flying away from Shadow to allow him to get up. "The Blue Maiden got word from Zelda that evil was coming again and will possibly destroy Link. I went to him and told him to go to the Four Swords Shrine ASAP. After I did that, the Blue Maiden informed me of your presence, so I thought because of you heroic act, you would want to help Link."
"Ok, so what? We're just suppose to go to the shrine, and wait for Link?"
"Yep!"
"Ok, what about-" Shadow was cut off by a forgotten resident in the same room.
"Shadow," said Shelda, arm still over her eyes, "If you don't shut up in the next five second with that annoying girl voice your making, I'll make sure you'll never be able to walk again."
"That's not me Shel." said Shadow plainly. At that, Shelda jumped up and snapped her eyes over to the Blue fairy, eyebrows in her forehead in surprise.
"Shadow." she said, her voice edged with confusion and surprise. "Who's the glowing puffball?" Shadow snorted in amusement as the Blue Fairy huffed in annoyance.
"I'm not a puffball!"
"You sure?" asked Shelda, tilting her head a bit with a mischief smile on her lips. Shadow chuckled a bit before clearing his throat to get the two's attention.
"Shelda," he said, pointing to the Blue Fairy. "this is the Blue Fairy; the Blue Maiden's helper. Blue Fairy, this is Shelda; Zelda's dark self." when they were introduced, the Blue Fairy flew over to Shelda, floating right in front of said girl.
"It's nice to know that even Zelda's dark self is good." said the fairy. Shelda looked at her for a second before pushing a lock of hair out of her face.
"Whatever, puffball." said Shelda casually.
"I'm not a puffball!" exclaimed the Blue Fairy again.
"Oh I'm so sorry." said Shelda, taking her right hand and grasping her left elbow before lifting them above her head in a stretch.
"Thank you-"
"You're a glow bug." Shelda dropped her arms as she stared at Blue Fairy with a smile, Shadow laughing out loud in the back round. If Shadow didn't fall off the bed again with a freighting 'thump' and a yelp of surprise and pain, the two females probably would have stared at each other for another hour. Shelda was the first to look over at Shadow and jump up to aid the boy. Shelda couched over Shadow as he laid there sprawled out on the floor at the foot of his bed.
"You ok?" she asked as she carefully grabbed his left arm to pull him up.
"Yeah.." said Shadow, pain etched in his voice. "Wasn't a good idea to stand on the bed though.."
"No kidding!" said Shelda as she sat him on the bed. "Now, instead of jumping around and hurting yourself further, will you please go to sleep?" Shadow let out sigh as he realized that Shelda was right and resting was the best thing for now.
"Ok-" he was about to agree, but a small, high pitched voice interrupted him.
"NO!" exclaimed Blue Fairy. "You can't rest! We have to go to the Four Sword Shrine to meet up with Link! isn't that why you came here?"
"Sorry glow bug." said Shelda in Shadow's place. "But both of us are exhausted. We won't be able to even walk out of Castle Town. We'll rest now, leave later."
"But Link could be on his way there right now! We have to get there before Link decides to not hang around anymore! We have to warn him before it happens!-"
"Alright, alright, we get it." said Shelda, interrupting Blue Fairy's rant. "but its going to take a LONG time to get to this 'shrine'" at that, Shelda could've swear that the glow bug smiled at her as she said;
"Not at all." and in one quick swipe around Shelda and Shadow, the fairy created a portal that took the three of them and they're belongings in a single flash, leaving little to no trace of someone being there.
DONE! WOO! That took a bit, but I finally got it done. I feel proud :D
Dreamer- Well, you shouldn't.
Teller- …and she's back
Dreamer- Yep!
Teller- ok, before we get to far, I'm just going to ask; do any of you know what game Ravio's from? If you do, you get ten virtual cookies! I made them myself :D
Dreamer- OH! Gimme! *tries to snatch a cookie*

Teller- AGH! Ok, see you all later and all, BYE! *runs away* GET AWAY FROM ME DREAMER!
