"Don't try anything," I warned
"Why would I do that?" he asked "You're like a cousin or something, god that's disgusting"
"Just warning you anyway" I closed my eyes and settled my breathing. We fell silent. I heard the uncanny noises under me and it was hard to remember it was someone I knew under there. I was almost asleep when a thought nagged at me "Link?"
"Mmmmm?" he breathed
"Why are you here?" I whispered "Why? I mean, I was only a person to talk to, to all the people who have been used in people's imaginations. I'm not important"
"Your our friend on this side" he replied "Besides" he threw something up onto the bed, I felt sleep drifting onto me, damn fairy dust, "We need your help" I lost it then. I was too tired.
Beep, beep. Beep, beep.
Damn alarm clock.
Beep, beep. Beep, beep.
SHUT UP!
CRASH! I bolted upright as something hit something else right next to me.
"What the-" I looked at my alarm clock. It was completely destroyed, and so was the table, so was the CD rack. Only the stereo and lamp were in tact on the floor. A big sword was sticking up through the pile.
"Sorry" Link said sheepishly "Habit"
"And how many clocks do you go through a year?" I sighed. No use going back to sleep. It was a miracle no one had come to investigate the noise. I got up and realised everyone had gone out shopping like they had said yeaterday. Link slid out from under the bed.
"Sleep well?" he asked
"Even better with the fairy dust"
"Oh, yeah, sorry about that" he replied
"Why did you do that anyway, I could have gone to sleep on my own you know"
"Yeah I know, but you would have asked questions"
I pulled some clothes out of the drawer "Just be thankful I don't have to go to school today"
"How come?"
"Saturday genius"
He blushed "Oh yeah" I started to undress, he blushed even more "Um, er, should I? Um"
"Well" I demanded, "either turn around or get out" I folded my arms
"Out" Link said and stumbled out the door. I dressed quickly and heard a knock at the door "Can I come in yet?"
"Why not? Didn't you ever learn that when someone needs to get dressed you go away?" I asked, he shrugged, I started to clean up the demolished table "Nice handy work Mister Hero, I thought you were supposed to keep that in a sheath?" I pointed at the sword
"I do, but I can draw it quickly" he did it to prove he could
"Great, a Van Gogh with a sword" I said sarcastically
"You should be a little nicer to me" Link said plomping down on the bed "After all, how many heroes stay in your humble abode"
"You'd be surprised" I replied sarcastically. I opened the curtains; the sun was shining for a change, "I got a friend coming over today, so you better stay here"
"Why can't I see them?" he asked
"Because they'll probably see you too"
"Nothing wrong with that" he admired himself in the mirror "I'm good looking aren't I?"
I'd never really thought about it "Sure, I guess. Why not?"
"See, even you admit it" he replied grinning "I'm probably the first guy you've said that too right?"
"Of course not!" I said quickly and turned away "Anyway, when my friend gets here you can see her but don't let her see you ok?"
"Alright then" he rubbed his gauntlets together "Finally I get too meet one of your friends"
"You're not meeting them technically"
"Right"
The friend I had invited over was called Lucy. She was in my year at school and in some of my classes; we went round to each other's houses a lot. When Lucy got to my house, I answered the doorbell.
"Hi" she said cheerfully
"Hey there" I replied, "Come in"
"Thanks" I took her into the living room; I had to control myself just in time to stop myself jumping when Link popped out from behind the sofa.
I cursed quietly.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked
"Nothing" I replied, making a gesture at Link, he grinned. Lucy and I started to chat and watch tv at the same time, isn't it amazing how you can do that? I was careful to lead lucy away from subjects that Link would find...lets just say interesting. i noticed that Lucy's eyes were flicking back and forth to the place where Link was standing.
i ignored it, no way could she see him. We carried on talking. Finally Lucy's eyes stopped flicking and were concentrated hard on Link. I looked at Link, he was looking hard back at Lucy, could they see each other?
"Why is there a guy in tights standing in the corner?" Lucy asked finally
"You can see me?" Link asked quickly
"Yes" she replied looking at me
"Don't worry" I told her "I can see him too"
"I can see me as well" Link butted in "Now how can she see me? You didn't make her see me, I didn't make her see me"
"It's not like you're the great invisible man" Lucy said
"I know, but no one else can see me"
"I can" I announced
"I know that" he snapped "So if you can see me, then who am I?"
"You're in a computer game and you're called..." she struggled to remember his name
"Link" I supplied
"Link" she announced "Am I hallucinating?"
"Nope unfortunately" I told her "Ye olde idiot here is real"
"Hey I'm not an idiot" he protested "I happen to be a hero of time on a very important mission"
"Yeah important is really demolishing my house" i muttered
"That was an accident" he cried, we began to have an arguement
"I don't mean to be rude but WHY IS A COMPUTER GAME CHARACTER STANDING HERE TALKING TO US?" Lucy was beginning to freak
"It's a long story" I said trying to calm her down, I told her about what I could do. She seemed to take it pretty well. If you call fainting, taking it pretty well.
"So why are you here?" she asked when she woke up
"I'm on a mission to save hyrule" he said importantly
"Wait, last night you said you neede my help What is that all about?"
"I need you and some of your friends, who know about storylines and stuff, weaknesses and strengths, stuff like that. Hyrule has gone into full scale war since I was here last"
"I didn't know" I said to him
"I don't know about you" Lucy said "But I could do with some excitement" she got up "Link, I wish to help you in your quest"
"You do?" he asked
"You do?" I joined in "Lucy, we don't know what Hyrule's really like now, what if we don't come back?"
"I'll make sure you come back" Link said "As for time, well don't worry about it, our time goes quicker, a day there, is only a second here"
"Really?" I asked
"Really" he assured me
"I want to go then" I said brightly "But, can we pack a little stuff?" Link nodded. I ran upstairs, returning with four suitcases. Link shook his head. I came down with two cases. Head shook again. Finally I came down with a back pack of junk food, band aids, my cd player and some cds.
"Ready"
"Finally, it's been an hour already" Lucy said "I want to go soon if that's OK?"
"Sure" Link smiled "I took the liberty of gathering in Hyrule a welcoming party, it will have some familiar faces I guess"
"Not to me" Lucy grinned "I have a playstation"
"What's a playstation?" Link said curiously
"Never Mind" I told him "Now can we go already before I change my mind?"
"Alright" He took out a pouch "Take this" he gave us each a small round stone
"What are these?" Lucy asked
"Nothing" Link chanted a small spell and the room gave way to blackness.
"Why would I do that?" he asked "You're like a cousin or something, god that's disgusting"
"Just warning you anyway" I closed my eyes and settled my breathing. We fell silent. I heard the uncanny noises under me and it was hard to remember it was someone I knew under there. I was almost asleep when a thought nagged at me "Link?"
