The Wish Gem: Chapter Two: The Quest Begins
A/N: Chapter two!! LET THE CAMEOS.....BEGIN!!
OK, we took off the humor rating because it's hard to make this really funny, but there will be smidgens of humor, here and there. We replaced it with Drama. Since it's SORT of drama-ish. Come on, it's not like many people go into the drama section JUST for drama anyway! So bear with us, as we repeatedly change the rating, ne? ^^
Disclaimer-o-rama: WE DON'T OWN ZELDA!! YEEEEEEEHAW!!!

Adored Princess woke up, startled, by a Wolfos howling. The house smelled of pine, and she could hear Malon scurrying about upstairs. Adored P. looked around, only to find Winter Daze tapping with her fingers at the hard redwood table.
"What are you doing?" she asked sleepily.
"I'm reading fanfics on my imaginary laptop. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm in the middle of reading one of Misty Dawn's BRAT3K's."
"You're a nutcase." giggled Adored Princess. Winter Daze sighed, and closed her imaginary laptop.
"Well, should we get those authors, now?" Winter D. stretched her legs, and without waiting for an answer, walked out the door. Adored Princess followed her.
When they got outside, they found many people milling about and around the ranch. Most of them were buying milk, but some of them were just playing with the animals.
Winter Daze walked up to one of the people, put a hand on her shoulder. "Come on! We know how to get back home!"
The girl looked at Winter Daze, and then jerked her shoulder away. "What do you think you're doing?? I AM home!!"
"Wha?"
The girl glared at the two. "I live in Lon Lon Ranch! Leave me be!"
"But-you come from our world, don't you?" Winter Daze looked at Adored Princess, but she just shrugged. "You're wearing an Old Navy shirt."
"I follow the Great Ingo, so BUZZ OFF!!" The girl turned around, and continued walking toward the stables.
Adored Princess scratched her head. "Great Ingo???"
Winter Daze turned around, but hit smack dab in the middle of a gray screen. She fell over, on the dirt path.
"OWIE!! MY NOTHE!! MY NOTHE!!"
"Sorry," said Chico. "Anyway, I found out something that you guys might need to know!"
"What is it?" asked Adored Princess, paying no head to Winter Daze's screams. (A/P: Hehehe...)(W/D: You're so MEAN!!)
Chico scratched his chin, and stated, "Well, I've been watching some other authors on the TV, and found out that most of them got brainwashed."
"What do you mean by "brainwashed"?" asked Winter Daze, after her nose stopped bleeding. (W/D: My nose never bled in my whole life! Why does it happen in a fic???)(A/P: Because I wanted it to :])
"Well, brainwashed as in, they must have hit their heads when they got there. They probably believed the first person that they saw. This didn't happen to ALL of them, since you two are still OK."
Winter Daze looked back at the girl they had met earlier. "Then, how do we get them all in one place to get them back to our world?"
"My guess is that --- have to ----- the people that DIDN'T get -------, and find the Wish ----, and then ----- all the non-amnesia people to wish ----- the other people to get back to ----!"
"Um, you lost me at 'guess'."
"In laymen's terms-------" the screen faded into a little gray dot in the air, then it disappeared completely.
"Gosh, I hate it when that happens."
"Well, I guess we're just going to have to find the people that didn't get amnesia. Then go from there."
The two girls were about to exit the ranch, when someone caught their attention.
It was a boy, he looked about fourteen, somewhere around there. He was looking around at his surroundings, as if he was new.
They were pretty sure he was an author that didn't have amnesia, so they went up to him. He was sitting down.
"Hey, are you an author, or a-um, worker here?" asked Winter Daze cautiously.
"Um, I guess I'm an author." he said. Adored Princess grinned.
"We're authors, too! We know how to get home!!" she said excitedly.
"Um-yeah. OK, so, I take it we're in Lon Lon Ranch?" He stood up, and brushed himself off. "My name's DDR Freak Jigglypuff! You can call me Jigglypuff for short."
"I'm Winter Daze, and this is Adored Princess."
Adored Princess nodded. "Nice to meet you."
Winter Daze looked at him. "What does DDR stand for?"
"Dance Dance Revolution! That's my favorite game!"
"Oh. I've never played that."
"Wha?! How come!?"
"Because the only systems I have are GBA and N64. Besides, I only play Zelda." She stuck her tongue out at him, and he glared at her.
"Okay, Miss Ice Witch."
"WHAT?!"
"Oh, nothing. Anyway, what are we going to do? How can we get back home?" he asked, directing it towards Adored Princess.
"Well, we're guessing that we have to find all the authors that didn't get amnesia, and get the Wish Gem, and wish for the other authors not to have amnesia, so we can all wish that we were back home!" explained Adored Princess, as if she was talking to a five year old.
".....I didn't understand a word you just said, but I'm all for it!"
Winter Daze looked at him. "So dumb, too!"
"What!?"
"Oh, I'm just naming all the bad things about you."
The three exited Lon Lon Ranch, and carefully made their way across the Hyrule Field expanse. They passed a few authors, and asked them to come along, but they just turned and scoffed.
They made it to the little creak, streaming clear water from Zora's Domain, and decided to rest. (A/N: We're making this realistic, OK? So, Hyrule Field is big, and they can't run 50,000,000 laps around it w/o breaking a sweat, OK?! Also, the sun won't set after 3 seconds, either!)
Adored Princess took a shiny blue pebble up from the cold water. She carefully tucked the pretty stone into her pocket. "The landscape here is so pretty. I hope nobody minds if I take a little piece of it. Just for a souvenir." She giggled, and patted her pocket. Then she stood up, and stretched. I guess we should be going. At least until Kakariko Village. It's just over there." She pointed, and Winter and Jigglypuff stood up.
Winter Daze quickly grabbed a canteen she got from Malon, and filled it with water.
When they got to the bottom of the stairs, they look up.
"There is NO way I'm going to climb that. The stairs in my SCHOOL are high enough." said Jigglypuff.
"Come ON!" Winter Daze grabbed his wrist, and started to pull them up. "Weakling Boy!"
Adored Princess just sighed, and followed them.
When they got to the top, they were all crawling on their knees, begging for water.
Winter Daze grabbed her canteen, and drank all of it in one gulp.
Suddenly, she popped up (YES!! She POPPED up!), and exclaimed, "What are we doing?! THERE'S AUTHORS IN THEM THAR HILLS!!!" With that, she ran off, in search of authors.
Jigglypuff and Adored ran after her.
"I wonder....was there anything in that water?" asked Adored. Jigglypuff just whistled.
Winter Daze ran into the potion shop door many times.
"OW!! DANGIT!! WHERE'S THE "A" BUTTON!?! THE "A" BUTTON!!"
Adored Princess ran up to her, and said, "You turn the knob. Like this," And she opened the door.
Winter Daze walked in, with Jigglypuff behind her. Adored Princess had walked off towards that really tall lookout thingy, since she saw somebody on it. It looked like a girl.
Anywho, Winter Daze instantly walked over to the shelf where the bottled fairies were kept.
"Ooooooooooh...how pretty! JigglyPUUUUUUUFF!! Can I get it?! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase?!?!" She ran over to him, and grabbed him away from the bow-and-arrows. "Please?! They're SOOOOO pretty!!!"
Jigglypuff looked at the little fairies flying about in their heavy glass bottles. "We would, they might be helpful, but we don't have any Hylian currency!" Winter Daze looked at him. "You know? Rupees!" Winter looked sadly at the fairies, then walked up to the counter.
"Yes? How may I help you two children?" asked the person at the desk.
"Can we trade something for one of the fairies?" asked Winter.
"Sure!"
Jigglypuff nudged Winter Daze. "We don't have anything to trade!" he hissed.
"Yes we DO!" she hissed back. She grabbed a Hatless Emi keychain from his belt, and gave it to the cashier.
"Thank you!" With that, Winter walked over to the fairies, grabbed one, and walked out the door.
Jigglypuff ran after her. "HEY!! That was my on-o'-a-kind Hatless Emi keychain!! You could have at LEAST asked me!"
Winter stuck out her tongue, and looked around for Adored P. "Hey, do you know where Adored went?"
Jigglypuff looked around, then he spotted her. "Oh, she's up on that lookout tower."
Winter looked where he was pointing, and smiled. "Kay, let's go!" She tossed him the bottled fairy, and ran off. He juggled it, trying to keep it from falling, and ran after her.
Winter made it to the platform, and started to climb, as soon as she was halfway, Jigglypuff started to climb. When they both got to the top, Adored greeted them.
"Hey, guys!" She was standing with a girl. The girl nodded in their direction, and smiled.
"I take it you're authors, too." she said warmly. She tucked her hair behind her ear, and then held her hand out. "Nice to meet you. I'm Bombachick."
"Oh! Yeah, I like your fic, Orange Fish Pizza!" Winter said.
Bombachick giggled, but then looked gravely down at the landscape below. "But we won't be able to write any more chapters to our stories, now will we?" She laughed nervously, then added, "Adored Princess, over here, told me all about your plan with that Wish Gem, or whatever it's called."
"You're in, right?" asked Adored.
"Of course!" Bombachick giggled. "Anything's better than waiting, not knowing if you'll ever get home!" She looked over at Jigglypuff. "What's with the fairy?"
Jigglypuff glared at Winter, and said, "That little Ice Witch traded my keychain for a FAIRY!"
"I AIN'T NO FREAKING ICE WITCH!!! AND BESIDES! YOU SAID IT WOULD BE HELPFUL!!!!"
Jigglypuff shoved the bottle into Winter's arms. "YOU take it!! It's YOURS!"
Winter stuck out her tongue again, and started to climb back down the ladder.
Bombachick looked at Adored Princess, who whispered, "Don't worry. They've been at each other's throats since we met!"
Bombachick nodded, and she and Adored descended the ladder, with Jigglypuff, grumbling, behind them.
